Although the woman in front of her was covered in blood, her features were definitely those of Sister Qiao! The crackling sounds around them continued, and amidst the burning flames, Ji Yueyao felt her mind suddenly in turmoil.
Without a second thought, Ji Yueyao quickly regained her composure, suppressing all the chaotic emotions in her heart. Without saying a word, she picked up Qiao Ying and ran uphill as fast as she could, otherwise the fire might burn them.
Qiao Ying's body was already covered in burns. Ji Yueyao carried Qiao Ying on his back, feeling that he didn't dare to use any strength, for fear that he might accidentally touch Qiao Ying's wounds.
By this time, the stairs were already glowing red from the heat. Ji Yueyao felt as if her feet were being pricked with needles with every step she took. She gritted her teeth and rushed up the stairs, taking three steps at a time. Thick smoke was still billowing out. Ji Yueyao squinted, suppressed her cough, and carried Qiao Ying on her back, running outside without looking back.
Once outside, she didn't care about anything else and, behind Qiao Ying's back, hurried off to find termites.
Qiao Ying's breathing was almost nonexistent. Although her body was still warm, this warmth was likely due to the intense heat of the surroundings earlier. Ji Yueyao, carrying Qiao Ying on his back, felt that she had no vitality whatsoever.
She ran back to the villa even faster, ignoring the cold wind that felt like sharp blades cutting through her skin. She rushed straight to Termite, grabbed him who was reading documents, and handed him over, saying, "I want her alive."
From rescuing Qiao Ying to finding the termites, Ji Yueyao took less than a minute.
She felt that if this were her previous world, she would definitely have broken a Guinness World Record by now.
Ji Yueyao's cold voice carried an unquestionable command. Although Bai Yi was not in a good mood at first, he quickly took Qiao Jie's hand and placed her on the sofa before starting to use his superpower.
When Bai Yi saw the numerous wounds, large and small, on Qiao Ying's body, he gasped.
To survive such injuries... this woman's willpower is extraordinary.
Standing to the side, Ji Yueyao finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
It would have been better if she hadn't relaxed, because once she did, she felt pain all over her body. The termites were focused on saving Qiao Ying and didn't notice Ji Yueyao's injuries, otherwise they would have gone crazy.
Ji Yueyao's hands, feet, and face were red from the cold. A few charred strands of hair were visible on her head, tangled together in a mess. There was a long gash on her left ankle, which was beginning to heal, but blood was still constantly being squeezed out of the wound.
Sitting on the sofa, she looked down at the soles of her feet. The small blisters that had been scalded had burst, and now her entire soles were covered in gruesome wounds.
Looking up, Ji Yueyao saw the mirror on the table and noticed that her face was red from the cold, and even her lips were faintly purple.
Her body was covered in large patches of black, and even her face looked like a cat covered in grime. She raised her hand to rub off the black on her face with the back of her hand, but the more she rubbed, the more grime she got.
"That's really scary," Ji Yueyao said with a self-deprecating laugh.
What a coincidence! If it weren't for Qiao Xiong, Sister Qiao might have really been burned alive... Ji Yueyao looked at the solemn-faced termite and closed her eyes wearily. Was this really the telepathic connection between siblings? However, her health was getting worse and worse. This time, she hadn't used any special abilities; she had only run back and forth once, yet she was already exhausted...
My chills are getting worse. Although the weather is still cold now, it's much better than those ten days or so in winter.
But this kind of weather is making her shiver with cold...
She poured herself a glass of water and held it in her hands to warm them.
"Ji Yueyao!" Just as she brought the water to her lips, Mu Yanxuan's voice suddenly roared from the side, startling her so much that she almost dropped the cup of water.
Quickly gripping the water glass, Ji Yueyao glanced speechlessly at the startled Mu Yanxuan, then sighed deeply at his helpless expression.
"I only didn't watch you for a few hours, how did you get yourself into this state!" Mu Yanxuan wanted to get angry but couldn't, yet an unnamed fire was burning inside him.
"There was a little accident..." Ji Yuehao coughed lightly, feeling a bit guilty, and secretly glanced at Mu Yanxuan, whispering, "The termites are saving people, keep your voice down."
A vein throbbed on Mu Yanxuan's forehead. He glared at Ji Yueyao, then turned back and looked coldly at the termite, as if he were about to pull the termite over to treat Ji Yueyao's wounds.
If the termites were really pulled over, Qiao Ying would be doomed. Ji Yueyao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly grabbed Mu Yanxuan's arm. "It's just a minor injury. Aren't you tired of standing? Sit down."
“I sent termites to protect you.” Mu Yanxuan disagreed somewhat. He looked at the hand that was pulling his arm, but in the end, he still sat down next to Ji Yueyao.
“That’s Sister Qiao. If it weren’t for Sister Qiao, I would have died in this wasteland long ago.” Ji Yueyao looked up at Qiao Ying lying on the sofa, feeling a mix of emotions.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yanxuan glanced at Qiao Ying, who was covered in injuries, and seemed to have forgotten his intention to bring the termites over.
He couldn't bear to see Ji Yueyao with so many wounds, big and small. He stood up and walked to his room, leaving Ji Yueyao completely bewildered.
Where did he go? Is he angry?
Just then, Kaqi came out of the kitchen. Ji Yueyao, no longer curious about where Mu Yanxuan had gone, waved and quietly signaled Kaqi to come over.
Kaqi was carrying a bowl of food when she saw Ji Yueyao call her to quickly put the food on the table. She walked over quickly and asked, "What's wrong, Yueyao?"
Kaqi usually calls Ji Yueyao "Captain" in public, but in private she still calls Ji Yueyao by her name affectionately.
"Keep your voice down." Ji Yueyao pointed at the termites and made a shushing gesture. "Kachi, where is Qiao Xiong now?"
"He should be exercising in the garden outside right now." Kachi saw the termites healing someone and quickly lowered her voice so as not to disturb them.
"Go and play with Qiao Xiong for a while, don't let him in yet," Ji Yueyao whispered.
Kachi nodded, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
“I found Sister Qiao in a burning villa today,” Ji Yueyao said softly. Seeing Kaqi’s surprised expression, she quickly whispered again, “Sister Qiao was seriously injured, and termites are saving her now… I don’t want Qiao Xiong to see his sister injured, so you take Qiao Xiong to play first.”
"I see..." Kachi nodded knowingly. "I understand."
As soon as she finished speaking, she strode out. Before leaving, she glanced at Sister Qiao on the sofa and was startled when she saw the hideous wounds on her gray body. Even Kaqi, who had experienced a lot, was really shocked.
What exactly happened to Sister Qiao? (To be continued.)
