Chapter 142 Golden Silk Ribbon
Senior sister and Chai Che arrived after winter passed and spring came.
Afraid that her senior sister would feel heartbroken when she saw her eyes, she specially learned a spell to repair her appearance, which could temporarily last for a few days.
She cut her palm and dripped some blood into the bowl, then asked her senior sister to feed it to the child first to see if it would work.
When Mu Jin was bandaging her hand, he caught a glimpse of Chai Che's gaze. His gaze really made him feel cold all over, but the person he was looking at was Jiao Ran.
As for Jiaoran, she didn't flinch. After noticing his scrutiny, she glanced sideways at him and turned to talk to her senior sister, "Did the miracle doctor say how this child can be cured?"
Zhuxing was somewhat frustrated and said in a deep voice, "Alas, I heard him say that the only way to prolong his life is to wait for him to grow older. It will only become more dangerous. By then, his heart will be unable to support his daily breathing."
The two sisters were chatting back and forth when they suddenly heard Chai Che ask, "Have you met Ah Hui and Big Brother?"
Mu Jin was about to tell a perfect lie, but Jiao Ran took over and said, "Yes, they were buried in the backyard."
When Zhuxing heard her admit it so calmly, he looked at Jiaoran for a moment as if struck by thunder.
Chai Che was furious and said, "Your skills are far superior to theirs. Even if they are forcing you, it's the Phoenix Chick who is threatening your life. Even if you are angry, you should let them go for the sake of our past friendship. Besides, you are also a Chai family member. Blood is thicker than water. How can you sever it?"
Jiao Ran sneered, "They should have been tortured to death, and I just gave them a quick end. Shouldn't you be grateful to me, but instead scold me?"
None of Chache's brothers and sisters ever dared to talk back to him. He respected his father and brothers, and loved his younger siblings. Throughout his life, he hardly encountered any hardships from his relatives. He was stubborn by nature, and his parents could hardly force him to do anything he didn't want to do.
Only Jiao Ran never took him seriously. He was even more furious, "I didn't realize you were just as ruthless as that despicable Fenghuangchu."
Jiaoran sneered again, and the smile on his face was already somewhat eerie and terrifying.
Mu Jin was horrified and terrified, fearing that Jiaoran would go astray again. He had wanted to take Jiaoran away before, not only because he was afraid that Chai Che and the others would inform Fenghuangchu, but also because if she lost control of herself again...
"Ruthless? Do you think I'm a murderer? Chai Hui and his men used my mother's ashes to tease me, and I was so angry that I took action. Even a clay man can be tough, right? I showed mercy everywhere, but they ignored our past friendship. So don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After hearing her explanation, Chai Che felt that she was just making excuses for herself. He was furious. What did he mean? It was all forced upon her by others. Everyone wanted to be her enemy. Was she really that innocent? The Governor's Mansion had been in good shape, but since she arrived, all sorts of disasters had befallen it. She was the scourge. The Governor's Mansion had become deserted today. It was all her fault.
He said fiercely, "You are the culprit!"
Jiaoran's body suddenly shook and he lowered his head. Mu Jin and Zhuxing naturally couldn't see the expression on his face.
But how could they not see that she was so depressed?
Mu Jin said, "We never wanted to embarrass them. They came here seeking death, and Jiao Ran forgave them time and time again. Do you know how far they pushed her?"
Chai Che said angrily, "What good thing is she? The Chai family all died at her hands. In my opinion, she is the nemesis of the Chai family. When she entered the Governor's Mansion, I should have killed her immediately."
The child heard the quarrel and woke up, crying non-stop. Zhuxing picked up the child and said in a cold voice, emphasizing each word, "Chai Che, you've gone too far. We brought Biluo here because we wanted her to help him. Now that she has offered a helping hand, it proves that she is still the same Jiaoran as before. My eldest brother and third brother died at her hands. She must have had her own difficulties. She was forced into a situation where she could no longer retreat."
Chai Che learned from them that Chai Lie and Chai Hui had really died at the hands of Jiaoran, and his heart was filled with inconsolable pain.
He stood straight. "Let's be clear. I don't know if you can help Bi Luo with his illness right now. I won't fight you for now, but you killed my brothers. I will never forgive you."
He knew very well that he was no match for Jiaoran today, but even though he knew it, he still wanted to seek revenge on Jiaoran.
"Like fallen leaves, they return to their roots. I will transport the bodies of my eldest and third brothers back to Xiu Tu, so that they can rest in peace beside their father."
Jiao Ran said, "Okay, take it back if you want. The body is in the backyard."
Mu Jin's face became very frightened. If he knew that he had taken out their hearts, he would definitely hate him even more.
But he couldn't stop it.
He glanced at Jiaoran, who was a little confused as to why Mu Jin's face suddenly turned so pale, as if he was extremely frightened.
Jiaoran wanted to go to the backyard with Chai Che to dig out their bodies, but Mu Jin had already grabbed her arm and said, "He might not want to see us next to their bodies."
Zhuxing nodded and said, "I'll accompany Archer. You guys stay in the hall. Oh, the child is asleep in the inner room. Please help me watch him for a while."
Jiaoran agreed, "Leave the child to me."
At this moment, Jiaoran suddenly remembered that she had killed Bu Yue. If her senior sister saw it, she would definitely be very sad. She couldn't help but call her senior sister.
"What's wrong?" Zhuxing asked.
Jiaoran began to feel a little scared. She did not regret killing Chai Lie and Chai Hui, but Bu Yue also died in her hands. She didn't know how to explain to her senior sister for a moment.
Would her senior sister understand her? She didn't dare to think about it.
"Oh... I'm afraid the child will wake up and I won't be able to take good care of him. What should I do if he cries?"
Zhuxing said, "Don't be afraid. When Biluo is not sick, he is very well behaved."
Jiaoran still tugged at her sleeve, "Or... Senior Sister, you should keep it. Chai Che works quickly and doesn't need help..."
She hesitated and left her senior sister in the hall for a moment, her mind quickly recalling the scene of killing Bu Yue that day. How could she be so impulsive that she even killed her own senior brother?
How should I explain this to my senior sister?
How to say it?
I can't say it no matter how I try.
"Uh—Senior Sister, are you hungry? You must be exhausted from the journey."
As soon as the word "servant" came out of his mouth, Chai Che came out from outside the door and slapped Jiaoran with a palm.
The palm was about to come down on her head, and Jiaoran also raised a palm, but she caught his palm.
A strong wind blew out from the two of them. Mu Jin hurriedly helped Zhuxing, who was almost knocked down by the strong wind, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Zhuxing shook his head and said, "No problem."
When Chai Che's first move failed, he drew his sword and attacked. Jiaoran did not dodge, but stood there, waiting for him to draw his sword and kill him.
But the sneer from her mouth made Chai Che even more devastated. With tears in his eyes, he stepped forward and started to chop. In a flash, Zhuxing had quickly stood in front of Jiaoran.
Jiao Ran yelled, "Senior Sister, please move aside. This is a private matter between him and me. Please don't interfere."
Chai Che used all his strength in this sword attack, but when he saw his wife standing in front of him, he felt anxious and sad, and had to withdraw the attack in a hurry.
Mu Jin knew something was wrong.
At this moment, two lines of clear tears were flowing down Chai Che's face. He tightened his fingers and held Zhuxing's fingers tightly, saying, "Don't be so impulsive. Let's talk it out."
He turned his head away, his eyes frighteningly red, and couldn't finish a sentence, "They... they dug out the hearts of my eldest brother and third brother..."
After saying this, he finally couldn't help but burst into tears, crying like a child who couldn't stand up.
Zhuxing was stunned and looked at Jiaoran in surprise.
Jiaoran was also panicked for a moment. She glanced at Mu Jin and immediately understood why he was more frightened than her.
Amidst Chai Che's scolding, Jiao Ran did not argue, "It was me. I killed them and cut out their hearts."
Zhuxing said disappointedly, "How could it be... How could you be so cruel..."
Mu Jin was about to speak when Jiao Ran interrupted him, "I was the only one who did these things. I hated them for humiliating me, so even after killing them, I still couldn't get rid of my anger, so I dug out their hearts one by one."
Chai Che struggled to escape from his wife's arms and rushed towards Jiaoran without hesitation. He slapped Jiaoran in the chest, but it was like a quilt and all the force was dissipated. Looking at Jiaoran again, he was not hurt at all.
He wanted to make another move, but Jiaoran had already slapped him back with a powerful palm, knocking him out of the hall.
Cha Che covered his aching heart and stumbled towards the backyard, feeling distraught.
Zhuxing couldn't stop crying when he saw this. No matter how bad they were, they were still his elder brother and younger brother. How could he accept that they all died here together?
Seeing him staggering, Zhuxing followed him out of concern. Jiaoran, with beads of sweat on his forehead, followed behind fearfully, trying to stop his senior sister.
But at this moment, she had already seen the corpses.
She raised her hand and pointed at one of them. Her body trembled and she took a few steps back. She couldn't believe her eyes, "...He...Why is he here?"
Then, she stepped forward and touched Bu Yue's body. She was so frightened that she withdrew her hand for a moment, fell to the ground, and turned her head to look at several bodies, feeling empty in her heart.
Jiao Ran was afraid that she would not be able to accept it immediately, so he hurried forward and said, "Senior Sister, I——"
She stood up quickly and slapped Jiaoran in the face.
Jiaoran's body was shaken by the blow.
This slap was because she was extremely angry.
In an instant, Jiaoran's hair suddenly turned snow-white, and returned to black after a while.
Mu Jin thought to herself that something was wrong. She jumped up, put her arm around Jiao Ran's shoulders, and called her name, "It's me, Mu Jin, Jiao Ran, do you hear me?"
After Zhuxing was seriously injured, her internal strength was almost gone, so the slap did not hurt Jiaoran, but a corner of her heart seemed to suddenly collapse.
Chai Che was still standing beside the corpse, looking at her motionlessly, vaguely sensing the murderous aura emanating from Jiaoran.
In the blink of an eye, he jumped up and down and came to his wife, protecting her behind him.
A slap in the face is not a serious injury to a martial artist, but sometimes it is more heartbreaking than being stabbed by a sword.
Mu Jin couldn't stop trembling, afraid that she would start a massacre. "Jiao Ran, listen to me. She is Zhuxing, he is Chai Che, and I am Mu Jin. Do you hear what I say?"
Jiaoran nodded. It was only a moment that his black hair turned white. Zhuxing also saw it and was horrified. He didn't know how Jiaoran became like this.
Mu Jin held her wrist and took a deep breath. "Hurry up and leave. Since you want these corpses, take them with you. Jiaoran's blood has just been taken out and is already given to you. Hurry up and leave!"
Chai Che turned around and let his wife leave first. He faced Jiao Ran with an unyielding figure and said, "Give me back the hearts of my eldest and third brothers. I want to bring them back intact."
Just as he was about to say something else, he heard a voice in the distance, "Go back? Where to go? You can't leave today!"
Jiao Ran heard the voice of the Phoenix Chick and looked at Chai Che and the others in disbelief, "Did you bring him here?"
Zhuxing thought of the golden butterfly, but she didn't know whether Chai Che had released the golden butterfly when he was angry just now, and she didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
Jiao Ran asked, "Between me and Phoenix Chick, you have already made the choice with them, right?"
Chai Che sneered, "Even if that's the case, so what? Are you going to kill Zhuxing and me like you killed them, and cut out our hearts?"
Jiao Ran immediately said, "Of course not, I would never hurt Senior Sister!"
In the time it took to finish these few sentences, only a few loud bangs were heard.
She raised her head and saw that the tree in the yard had opened a barrier on its own to block the phoenix chick.
But he came with such force that the barrier seemed to be breaking.
Mu Jin's movements were extremely fast. He pulled Jiao Ran and ran, saying to them, "Hurry up and gather under the tallest tree in the yard. Go and pick up the child."
Jiaoran clasped his hands together, and as he stepped back, he cast a spell to bury the body that Chai Che had just dug out.
There was a cracking sound, and a crack appeared in the golden barrier above their heads.
Several people were already standing under the tree. At this moment, countless golden silk ribbons hung down, surrounding them tightly like insect pupae.
But at this moment, Phoenix Young's sneer was already close to his ears, "Jiao Ran, do you think you can escape?"
When he opened his palm, a long arrow with light pierced into the gap of the pupa that had not yet completely closed. Jiaoran hurriedly gathered all her strength to resist, staggered back a step, and was supported by Chai Che on the shoulder. She felt the endless internal force pouring into her body.
Phoenix Chick laughed and said, “If you kneel down before me and beg for mercy, and say you will never run away again, I’ll consider letting them go, but if you wait for me to catch them, then I can’t guarantee anything.
Jiao Ran gritted his teeth and held on, his expression proud, "If you have the guts, attack us!"
The arrow shot by the Phoenix Young contained 50% to 60% of his magic power. Jiaoran barely managed to block it, but the magic power on his body could no longer be maintained, and he showed a wound in front of his senior sister.
Zhuxing saw the injury on her eye and was speechless for a long time.
"If you don't repent, why should I show mercy?"
With a raised hand, a figure flew over at an angle and struck the Kongsang tree with a palm.
This palm seemed to be ethereal and powerless, without any sound, but several golden silk ribbons were broken. Jiaoran hurriedly gathered his energy and transferred spiritual power to the Kongsang Tree through the silk ribbons, but the attack of the Phoenix Chick was too fierce. The two fought in the air, and after a flash of golden light, they finally left here before the Phoenix Chick cut off their retreat.
Blood was already gushing out of Jiaoran's mouth.
