However, due to his superhuman physique, his wounds were slowly healing. These healing wounds all looked like this. It was unimaginable what his hands were like before they healed.
His body was tattered and torn, but thankfully his private parts were still covered... Zhu Mu sighed, feeling all sorts of pain.
Ji Yueyao was not seriously injured this time; apart from being physically exhausted, she was basically fine.
"Captain, what's the use of the leopard-type exotic bird's skin? We can't eat it or wear it." After sitting down and replenishing their food and water, Zhu Mu and Ji Yueyao continued on their way. He carried Ji Yueyao and quickly landed on a branch, then, while observing, swiftly landed on another branch, moving so fast it was like a gust of wind.
"Who can't wear this to bed? You'll find out soon enough," Ji Yueyao said softly, closing her eyes.
Perhaps due to excessive physical exertion, Ji Yueyao strangely felt her energy returning... She took a deep breath and curled up into a ball again.
It feels like something is about to burst out from inside me...
However, Zhu Mu soon learned the purpose of the fur of the leopard-type exotic bird.
Looking at the barren, treeless ground ahead, Zhu Mu felt a sense of oppression as he saw the long-awaited sunlight.
Why is there such a large, empty...muddy area in the Forbidden Forest? Where are the trees? Were they cut down? Bamboo and Wood almost slapped themselves for this wild imagination.
"The further we go, the sparser the trees become. It's obvious that there might be no branches to step on... But I really didn't expect there to be no trees at all... Is there really such a place in the Forbidden Forest?" Ji Yueyao jumped down from the bamboo and wood's embrace. By this time, her strength had almost recovered, and she didn't even feel tired anymore. However, she was still as cold as ever... What the hell? Ji Yueyao crossed her arms and silently rolled her eyes, feeling like she was bewildered by her own body.
Ji Yueyao took out the pelt of the leopard-type exotic bird from the bamboo and wood backpack, and then used his dagger to cut the pelt into four pieces in two strokes.
"Wrap the inside of the leopard skin around your feet, and we'll start walking from here." As Ji Yueyao spoke, she pulled out a rope and quickly tied the leopard-type exotic bird's fur to her feet. The leopard-type exotic bird's fur was very large, and even though it was divided into four parts, one of them was easily tied up to her knees.
Zhu Mu quickly bent down and tied the leopard-like exotic bird's fur to his feet, then jumped into the mud with Ji Yueyao.
The icy temperature of the mud penetrated directly into Ji Yueyao's fur, impacting her calves. She raised her hand to shield her head from the scorching sun, feeling utterly speechless.
The muddy ground was still so cold under such strong sunlight... She had learned something new again.
But it's only been a little over half a month... Isn't the early spring sun a bit too intense?
...
"This spring is unusually hot," Zhong Jue said, sitting in the headquarters where only the leaders of the Xiyu Base could stay, looking out the window with great interest.
"Ah Jue." Huang Ran pushed the door open and entered from outside, leaning obediently against Zhong Jue's side, her tone full of barely concealed excitement, "Liang Siling has been taken into custody, and the remaining minor figures are hardly a threat anymore. In the end, we still won, Ah Jue!"
In just two days, Liang Siling's people finally launched a formal civil war with the Xiyu Base Party, with casualties reaching as high as a quarter of the Xiyu Base's population.
The entire Xiyu base seemed to have been devastated overnight, completely losing its former prosperity. The civilians complained bitterly, and they could hardly find any food to fill their stomachs.
Apart from those who died in the civil war, almost half of the dead died of starvation.
While Liang Siling and Bao Yu's faction were both severely weakened, Zhong Jue led his men to annihilate both factions under the pretext of disrupting the security of the Xiyu base, and stood at the top of the entire Xiyu base as the victorious righteous force.
"Things went so smoothly...you deserve a lot of credit too." Zhong Jue chuckled and leaned down to kiss Huang Ran's forehead, a kiss so perfect it could make any woman's heart flutter.
Huang Ran blushed instantly. She lowered her head and let out a soft moan, then leaned against Zhong Jue's chest and breathed heavily for a moment.
She was initially unwilling to marry Zhong Jue. Why should a perfectly fine young woman like her marry a disabled man? She originally planned to find an excuse to leave after the marriage, but she never expected that Zhong Jue would be such a handsome and gentle man. He also had such lofty ideals, which have now become a reality—becoming the supreme leader of the Xiyu base.
Father's judgment was indeed correct... Huang Ran leaned against Zhong Jue's chest and smiled happily. Now she was the woman with the highest status in the Xiyu base. Whether it was Liang Siling or Liang Sisi, they should now grovel at her feet!
She was about the same age as Liang Sisi, but Liang Sisi, relying on the protection of her older sister Liang Siling, acted arrogantly and rampant in the Xiyu base all day long... Now, she can't be proud of herself even if she wants to!
However, she hasn't found out where Liang Sisi is hiding yet... Once she finds that annoying woman, hmph, she'll be in for a beating.
Zhong Jue gently embraced Huang Ran with his only remaining hand, looking at her smooth hair, but there was no longer a trace of a smile on his lips.
He searched the entire Xiyu base but couldn't find Ji Yueyao, Yao Lin, and the others... Where had those bastards gone? Now that he had reached this position and could finally deal with them one by one, he couldn't find a single one! How could he not be furious if he couldn't find a single one?!
“Yu Zhenlong is nearing the end of his life…” Huang Ran slightly raised her head, her shimmering eyes glistening with a faint glimmer of tears. “When should we put an end to this?”
"No rush." Zhong Jue shook his head. "That guy is completely unable to wake up right now, he's practically a cripple... We need to eliminate all of Liang Siling's people now. I'll leave this to you. You won't let me down, will you... Ranran?"
"Ah Jue, I will definitely not let you down!" Ranran waved her little fist, a youthful and energetic smile spreading across her lips. Zhong Jue paused for a moment, then smiled back with the same gentle smile, and then put his arm around Huang Ran and walked towards the bed where he was resting.
When Huang Ran saw them walking towards the bed, she understood everything. Her face flushed red, and her legs even felt weak.
Zhong Jue chuckled lightly, "So...you're already that impatient?"
"I...I...I didn't!" Huang Ran was stunned, and her words became somewhat unclear.
“It’s obviously there…” Zhong Jue smiled and covered it, but suddenly thought of something else.
Once things settle down, he'll definitely have to go and properly thank his "partners." (To be continued.)
