Chapter 134: His wife actually resolved his curse.
"Wife..." Pei Xiaoxing's voice was hoarse, filled with the trance of surviving a disaster and deep guilt, "I just..."
"It's okay." Sheng Ran interrupted him and looked at Pei Xiaoxing with red cheeks.
She reached out and gently stroked his cheek, her fingertips touching the warmth under his skin that had not yet completely subsided. She slowly bit the words, "How are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"I don't feel uncomfortable anymore." Pei Xiaoxing shook his head and held her hand. The temperature of his palm was surprisingly hot: "I'm fine. Just now... was it you who did it?"
He could clearly feel that it was a warm and pure power that dispelled the haze of the curse. That power came from her, from the wife he had always protected.
But now, the wife has abilities far beyond imagination.
It even lifted his curse.
Sheng Ran didn't know how to explain it, so she could only nod vaguely: "Maybe...right."
She looked at the palm of her hand, and the warm power was still flowing faintly, making her feel both strange and familiar.
Pei Xiaoxing noticed Sheng Ran's stumbling voice and asked nervously, "Wife, are you feeling unwell?"
"When you use your ability, will it cause damage to your body?"
Sheng Ran was still unsure about this matter, she just felt her body was surrounded by fatigue.
She wanted to say something, but the wolves in the distance were already becoming restless due to the dual influence of the ringing of the bell and the change in Pei Xiaoxing's aura.
Pei Xiaoxing looked around vigilantly and held Sheng Ran's hand tightly.
"My dear wife, step back!" Pei Xiaoxing pulled Sheng Ran behind him, and his silver pupils instantly turned fierce.
In the darkness in the distance, the green wolf eyes were like scattered will-o'-the-wisp fires, so dense that it made one's heart numb.
The copper bell left by Tu Shanyi was still making a crackling sound, but it could no longer stop the wolves from becoming more ferocious due to the smell of blood.
The leading black wolf suddenly raised its head and let out a deafening howl. The pack of wolves rushed over like a tide, their sharp claws stepping on the slippery mud, making a rustling sound.
Pei Xiaoxing held Sheng Ran in his arms. The snow wolf's supernatural power surged in his body, and a thin layer of ice mist condensed around him.
He kicked the leading wolf away and tore the throat of another wolf with his claw-like knuckles. His movements were as brutal as a real beast.
But there were too many wolves. When one fell, three more immediately took its place, and soon they left deep wounds on his arms and back that were so deep that the bones could be seen.
"Pei Xiaoxing!" Sheng Ran looked at the blood oozing from his shoulder, staining his silver-gray fur red, and her eyes turned red with heartache.
She wanted to help, but found that she could do nothing except that inexplicable warm power.
At this moment, an extremely large gray wolf circled to the side, avoiding Pei Xiaoxing's sight, and suddenly pounced towards Sheng Ran!
Its fangs flashed with cold light, and a fishy smell hit her face. Sheng Ran could even see the crazy murderous intent in its eyes.
When Pei Xiaoxing realized it, it was too late. He could only stretch out his hand in despair, but it was too late to stop it.
At the critical moment, the soil at Sheng Ran's feet suddenly loosened, and a green vine as thick as a wrist seemed to come alive. It pulled out of the ground with a "swish" and wrapped around the gray wolf's neck with a sharp sound of wind!
The vines seemed to have their own consciousness, tightening more and more. The gray wolf whimpered in pain and struggled in vain with its limbs. Soon it was silent, and its broken neck hung limply.
Sheng Ran's eyes widened in shock, looking at the green vine that was still slightly wriggling, and then looked at the palm of her hand -
Just now, in a hurry, she seemed to shout "Stop it" in her heart.
"Wife!" Pei Xiaoxing took advantage of the moment when the wolves were frightened by the mutated vines, and the supernatural powers in his body suddenly surged!
Ice-blue light exploded from his body, forming a circular ice wall that froze all the surrounding wolves in place.
A golden light flashed in his pupils, and his aura was more than twice as strong as before. He actually broke through to the peak of the ninth level at the critical moment of life and death!
The effect of the supernatural power was a hundred times stronger than before, and he suddenly felt that his body was injected with endless energy.
The ice wall quickly shattered, but the wolves were obviously frightened by the sudden incident. They just howled in place and did not chase after them to attack.
Pei Xiaoxing swept his eyes over the remaining wolves with a fierce expression, with no intention of letting them go. He launched an attack swiftly, as fast as an afterimage.
"Let's go!" After killing the last wolf that didn't know how to live or die, he picked up Sheng Ran, turned around and ran towards the cave.
When they returned to the cave, Yun Ling and Zhu Jiuyin came back anxiously from two other directions. Huai Jun and Ling Rui were also awakened and came to greet them.
Seeing Pei Xiaoxing covered in wounds and Sheng Ran still in shock, the four of them looked gloomy.
"What's going on?" Ling Rui's sleepiness disappeared completely, his voice was filled with suppressed anger, and his hand was already on the short blade at his waist.
Pei Xiaoxing put Sheng Ran down and shook his head: "I'm fine, the curse... seems to have been lifted."
He looked at Sheng Ran with a complicated look in his eyes, "It was my wife who saved me."
"And vines." Sheng Ran added, her voice trembling a little, "Just now a wolf attacked me, and it was a vine that saved me."
Zhu Jiuyin's scarlet-gold pupils shrank. "Another vine?"
He walked to the cave entrance and looked out at the dark forest, thinking, "That's not an ordinary vine. It carries the scent of plant spirits."
Huai Jun immediately understood what was going on and looked at Sheng Ran: "Wife, was it you who did this?"
Sheng Ran nodded hesitantly: "I... I'm not sure. I just wanted it to stay away."
This was not the first or second time that she had been protected by the plants around her.
Her ability...seems to be far stronger than she imagined.
Back when they were in the inn, Zhu Jiuyin's soul was torn apart, and she used her instinct to steady him.
When she kissed Pei Xiaoxing just now, that warm power flowed into his body more clearly.
In life-or-death situations, you can also make the plants around you attack autonomously.
"This power..." Yun Ling's eyes fell on Sheng Ran's slightly red fingertips, "Will it be harmful to the master?"
This sentence reminded everyone. Pei Xiaoxing immediately grabbed Sheng Ran's wrist, frowning: "How do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
He just noticed that Sheng Ran's face was much paler than usual and her breathing was a little rapid.
Sheng Ran did feel very tired, as if she had run for dozens of miles in a row and all the strength in her body had been drained.
She shook her head: "Just a little tired, nothing else."
"That's not right." Zhu Jiuyin suddenly spoke in a low voice, "When my soul was torn apart, you were also weak like this for several days after touching me. Pei Xiaoxing's curse was lifted, and you showed the same symptoms again."
"And before that, when you asked Lu Teng to repel Yuan Ziyun, you were exhausted afterward—"
"It means that when this power is used to heal others, it will consume your own energy."
Everyone's face became solemn.
