Feng Guang leaned against the tree and spat out another mouthful of blood, but she still spoke to the two men with unwavering resolve: "I don't care if you give me your answer or not... I said I won't marry, and that's final."
Ye Yu scratched her head. "Our clan leader isn't ugly either, so why don't you like him?"
"If you like it... then go marry him..." Feng Guang shook her head, trying to drive away the urge to faint.
Ye Xue frowned. "Miss Xia, your injuries are serious and you need treatment."
“I don’t need…” Feng Guang turned around, knowing she couldn’t escape, but her pride told her she wouldn’t sit idly by and wait for death. Her steps were uneven as she walked on the wet ground covered with fallen leaves. She managed to take three steps before her already broken right foot gave out.
As she swayed and was about to fall onto the muddy ground, a hand caught her waist, and her body bumped into a warm chest, where she was held securely in the man's arms.
Then, her chin was pinched by long, warm fingers, and she was forced to raise her head. Her eyes, which were too weak to open, could only be opened a crack. In her blurry vision, she seemed to see a familiar person.
The man was smiling, but his eyes were icy cold. "I only waited one day to see you, and you've already made yourself look so pathetic?"
"It hurts so much..." she murmured these three words softly, a completely subconscious reaction. Perhaps if she acted more pitiful, he wouldn't speak to her in such a cold voice.
He loosened his grip on her chin, and finally asked in a defeated tone, "Where does it hurt?"
"My whole body aches... I'm going to die..."
"Don't talk nonsense." He stopped letting her stand and lean against his chest, picked her up in his arms, lowered his head slightly, and kissed her forehead. He said gloomily, "With me here, you can come back to life even if you die."
Her consciousness was completely hazy; her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she no longer had the strength to speak.
Feng Guang couldn't see her own reflection, and she didn't realize that her current appearance was far from pleasant, even more terrifying than she had imagined. Her fair and smooth face was scratched in several places by bushes and branches, and the skin exposed outside her school uniform was also covered in cuts. Thorns from brambles remained on her fair and slender legs, and her fractured right ankle was severely protruding. Just a short while ago, she was a well-dressed young lady, but now, in his arms, she was like a rag doll.
When the pain in your body reaches its extreme, you will no longer feel pain.
“The scenery…” Ming’an’s voice was very soft, such a gentle tone was as if he was coaxing a sick child to sleep. He said, “Close your eyes and take a nap. When you wake up, everything will be fine.”
Feng Guang, whose consciousness was fading, obediently closed her eyes.
Just after she fell asleep, the temperature suddenly dropped. Centered on Ming'an's feet, frost spread at an extremely fast speed. Tall trees were covered with frost and stopped moving with the wind. The forest was silent at this moment. This land suddenly ushered in a quiet winter.
Looking at the frost spreading to the ground beneath his feet, Ye Yu frantically turned to Ye Xue beside him, "Big Brother!"
Ye Xue didn't speak, but transformed into a wolf. In the sudden winter, the giant wolf's breath carried visible heat. He opened his mouth and roared, charging towards the composed man.
