Chapter 126: Zhu Jiuyin's Soul is Incomplete
When the wooden table in the inn room was splashed with the blood sprayed by Zhu Jiuyin, Sheng Ran's fingertips were still lingering on his chest——
The temperature there was dropping at an alarming rate, like an icy pond in the depths of winter at Zhangwei.
"Zhu Jiuyin..." Sheng Ran was completely frightened, her voice was shaking, and every word was filled with tears.
On the way here again, when he flew her to Beining, the heat of the dragon scales was still burning his palms; after arriving in Beining, he was standing in front of the pastry shop, and the way he swallowed his saliva while looking at the flower cake stall was still clear in her mind.
But now, his golden pupils were losing their luster little by little, the dragon horns pierced through the skin and popped out, then retracted due to the severe pain, repeatedly tearing the flesh and leaving streaks of blood.
"What the hell is going on?"
His injury was so serious that it definitely did not happen suddenly. Sheng Ran regretted not paying attention to his condition in the past few days. She was anxious and angry, but she was speechless at the critical moment.
Zhu Jiuyin must be hiding something from her!
The other beastmen also gathered around, put their hands on Zhu Jiuyin's shoulders, and helped him to the bed.
When Yun Ling touched him, he frowned and instantly noticed something strange on the dragon's body.
A look of surprise flashed across his dark pupils, and his tone was rarely agitated. "You..."
"——I'm fine." Zhu Jiuyin was still being stubborn at this time.
He interrupted Yun Ling loudly, his lips and teeth trembling.
Even in this state, he still forced himself to raise the corners of his lips and showed Sheng Ran a smile that was uglier than crying, "Future wife, I must be tired... Just let me rest for a while..."
Sheng Ran looked at his sweaty face. Zhu Jiuyin gritted his teeth, and his dragon horns emerged uncontrollably, but he forced them back. The light in his golden pupils flickered, like a candle in the wind.
The male beasts around him have different shapes, but they are very united when they get stubborn, and each of them is like a bull.
Sheng Ran knew she couldn't get any more information out of Zhu Jiuyin, so she hurriedly asked the system, "Quick! Help me find out what's wrong with his body. I'll give you any points!"
This is not a question of points.
Zhu Jiuyin was originally matched as a possible target to replace Huai Jun. The system can check Zhu Jiuyin's current physical condition through his information panel.
[His soul is incomplete.] The system's voice was deep and tense. [Just a few days before you left the end of the chapter, this value changed.]
[What he is enduring now is probably the pain of his soul being torn apart.]
Sheng Ran was panicked. She never thought things would become so serious.
[Why?] She couldn't wait to know the reason so that she could find a solution.
The system explained awkwardly: [He is not yet the host's beastly husband, and no further information can be found.]
So if she wants to know the reason, she has to sign a marriage contract with Zhu Jiuyin first?
The situation is urgent now, there is no time to get married!
"I'll do it." The chaotic scene didn't last long. Sheng Ran suddenly stood up, and the panic in his eyes was replaced by determination.
She decided to try her best to treat the disease by her own method.
Sheng Ran turned and rushed to the kitchen, moving so fast that she could lift the wind.
She poured all the herbs in her bag onto the chopping board. As her fingers flew, the down of the branches and leaves stuck to her fingertips, and the cool dew seeped into her palms through her fingertips.
She processed the herbs quickly, and the faint fragrance of flowers and plants wafted out, mixed with the weak power that unconsciously seeped out from her fingertips, which belonged to her special physique.
"I want running water." She shouted to Ling Rui who followed in, her voice tense.
Ling Rui immediately picked up the wooden barrel and ran out. Huai Jun had already kicked open the well fence in the backyard of the inn and used his supernatural power to fill the barrel.
Pei Xiaoxing found the cleanest clay pot and added firewood to start the fire.
Yun Ling stood beside Sheng Ran, looking at her trembling but determined back, silently condensing his wind-type supernatural power to fuel the fire under the clay pot.
The water boiled quickly, and amidst the gurgling sound, Sheng Ran threw the herbs into the pot.
Having treated the beastmen so many times and used their special energies so many times, she already knew which ones needed to be cooked thoroughly to draw out their spiritual power; which ones needed to be added last to neutralize the dryness brought by the raging fire; and which ones needed to be pounded into a paste with a wooden pestle and added to the pot along with the grass juice...
Everything has become an instinct engraved in our bones.
The medicinal juice gradually turned dark green, and the bitter fragrance filled the entire inn.
When Sheng Ran came back with the pottery bowl, Zhu Jiuyin had already started twitching, and his dragon tail uncontrollably protruded from under his clothes, covered with fine blood lines, like silk cut by a knife.
"Open your mouth." She scooped up a spoonful of medicine, blew on it again and again, and then handed it to his mouth.
Zhu Jiuyin was in so much pain that he was no longer clear-headed and did not react at all.
The medicine flowed down the corners of his lips, his Adam's apple rolled, and his golden pupils were unfocused.
"Drink the medicine!" Sheng Ran's tears fell into the ceramic bowl, splashing tiny water droplets.
She tried twice more, but he either dodged the medicine or it flowed down the corners of his mouth. The medicine in the bowl gradually cooled down, just like her heart which sank bit by bit.
Yun Ling couldn't bear to watch: "Master, please don't..."
"He won't die." Sheng Ran interrupted him, her eyes revealing stubbornness.
They probably forgot that Sheng Ran was more persistent and determined than them.
She looked at the medicine in the bowl, then at Zhu Jiuyin's pale lips, and a crazy idea suddenly popped into her mind -
Maybe... maybe using her method, the medicine can seep into his soul.
The thought instantly made the tips of her ears burn.
She took a deep breath, scooped up a full spoonful of medicine, held it in her mouth, then leaned over and gently pressed Zhu Jiuyin's chin.
The strange touch on his lips instantly woke Zhu Jiuyin up.
His eyelashes trembled violently and his golden pupils widened suddenly.
Zhu Jiuyin could smell the floral and fruity fragrance in her hair. For a moment, he even forgot to breathe.
Her lips were soft, with a hint of bitterness from herbs, but they were hot like a ball of fire, rushing into his body and burning every limb.
Sheng Ran closed her eyes and could clearly feel his stiff body.
The initial attempt was trembling. She carefully pried open his lips and passed the medicine over bit by bit.
The medicine was very bitter, but when their lips touched, they both shuddered as if they had been struck by electricity.
With panic, heartache and a hint of inexplicable throbbing, it spread between the lips and teeth.
"Future Wife..."
Zhu Jiuyin only felt a gentle and soothing force being injected into his body bit by bit, soothing all his pain at the moment.
Unable to bear it any longer, Zhu Jiuyin suddenly grabbed the back of her neck with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to rub her into her bones and blood.
Passive acceptance turned into active demand. He pried open her teeth, greedily absorbed her breath, and swallowed it along with the medicine.
The frequency of his Adam's apple rolling became faster and faster, as if swallowing all the vitality she brought.
Sheng Ran was kissed by him until she couldn't breathe.
When their noses touched, she opened her eyes slightly, and bumped into the surging red in Zhu Jiuyin's golden pupils.
It was a desire that had been suppressed for too long, and the only piece of driftwood that one could grab at when dying.
