Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the zombie king was trapped...
"Ruan Ruan, are you alright? You scared me to death! I thought you were going to be eaten by this guy." An Xia put away the black divine wood and placed it back against her chest before rushing over to check on Jiang Ruan.
Upon seeing her, Jiang Ruan quickly concealed the faint pain on her face, then smiled warmly and reassuringly, saying softly, "It's alright. With you here, I feel much more at ease." These words seemed to flow from the deepest part of her heart, filled with trust in her.
Anxia's eyes seemed to be filled with tears, as if she had finally been recognized.
It turns out that she can also save everyone from dire straits; she's no longer a little woman who needs everyone's help.
"Zhang Yang, take this cage chain and bring it to a basement in the backyard of the mall. We can talk about it after we've rested up."
Jiang Ruan moved her aching arm and let out a soft gasp.
"Okay, I'll go now."
Zhang Yang didn't hesitate; he knew that putting the guy in the basement was the best solution.
After Zhang Yang drove away, Jiang Ruan used her spatial storage to take out another car and put Gu An and Mingyue inside, while also taking Qingfeng, who hadn't gone with them, along with her.
They soon returned to their lodgings...
Jiang's parents rushed over, and the others helped carry the unconscious Gu An and Mingyue to the room for treatment.
The living room was eerily quiet. Although the zombies seemed to have been dealt with, the person didn't feel relieved; instead, they felt even more oppressed.
"Jiang Ruan, are you saying that An Xia's Black Sacred Wood was able to fight the Zombie King, and that it was her ability that solved the problem?" Wan Mei sat in a corner, her face full of doubt and disbelief.
Jiang Ruan nodded upon hearing this, without denying it.
Actually, she was also puzzled, as everything was developing in a different direction than before.
First, there's Gu An. Why did he become weaker? With his abilities, he was fully capable of fighting against the zombie king.
But he didn't wake up. Instead, he still hasn't woken up, and he doesn't look like the man I used to remember, the one who had the power to look down on everything.
And then there's Anxia. She knows the functions of the Black Divine Tree, but how could it have such a great effect on Anxia, who has been ill for so long?
Finally, there's the Zombie King itself. It's even more strange that it actually started talking. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was fake, that it was a real person in disguise.
Countless questions swirled in Jiang Ruan's mind. She couldn't wait to know the answers, but she always felt that they were not quite satisfactory.
"Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan, Jiang..." The calls pulled Jiang Ruan from her reverie. She looked up sharply at An Xia and asked, "What's wrong?"
An Xia walked over with a worried expression, gently placing her hand on Jiang Ruan's forehead, and then pressing her forehead against Jiang Ruan's, saying, "You're not feeling well. I thought you had a fever. You know, you used to get fevers all the time. Thank goodness, it's not this time. You scared me to death..."
An Xia patted her chest with lingering fear, then slowly walked over to Jiang Ruan and sat down, leaning slightly against her.
Jiang Ruan was taken aback by her sudden action, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
However, at that moment, the darkness that had been shrouding my heart seemed to be suddenly pierced by a beam of light, and a question quietly welled up in my mind: "What's going on?"
An Xia turned her head in surprise, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, which was noticed by the perceptive Jiang Ruan, but she did not show it.
Jiang Ruan observed An Xia's reaction, pondering this question in her heart. She knew that the voice and light just now must have a special meaning, but what exactly was it? Could it be some mysterious force or being conveying a message to them? Or was it just an illusion or delusion?
Jiang Ruan tried to recall all the details of what had just happened, hoping to find clues.
Suddenly she understood, but she pretended to be nonchalant. Jiang Ruan gently patted An Xia's shoulder and said with a smile, "Xia Xia, go and rest for a while. You've had a long day. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Anxia nodded and left.
After she left, Xiao's mother was the first to ask, "Ruan'er, do you... have something to say to us? You even sent Miss Anxia away."
Jiang Ruan lowered her head and remained silent, saying nothing. She simply pointed to the door, then to the stairs, shook her head, and went back to her room to rest.
The three of them, the parents and their child, were left staring at each other, not knowing what was going on.
