Chapter 24: Covering Wings for Warmth
Sheng Ran had already told the system that there was no need to be soft-hearted and that it should be ruthless.
It would be best to make her faint from the pain at the beginning, so that she loses consciousness and suffers less pain.
Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she still felt extremely uncomfortable when she actually felt her ribs being torn away from her body.
My vision went blurry, my whole body convulsed. I tried to scream, but my throat felt like it was clogged with hot cotton wool, and all I could make were gurgling sounds.
The pain was like a fire, burning her internal organs and causing them to spasm and even her fingertips to go numb.
In the last second before she lost consciousness, she heard a sudden cry in her ear, trembling.
The raven flew over quickly and saw her in great pain.
"--Owner!"
Sheng Ran no longer had the strength to lift her eyelids to identify Raven's appearance. She lost her strength and fell onto the bed.
Raven suddenly felt powerless.
The death bond connected by blood and bones was completely broken.
He could no longer empathize with her pain.
My heart felt like it was being twisted. It was a strange feeling that I had never experienced in the past twenty years.
No, she can't die!
This was the only thought in Raven's mind. He immediately picked up Sheng Ran from the bed. As soon as he walked out the door, he ran into Ling Rui who was running back in beast form.
When he saw Sheng Ran's silent appearance, his face turned pale.
"I'll go call the witch doctor. You take her to a place with lush vegetation. The more the better!"
Raven didn't understand the intention, but Ling Rui spent more time with her and understood Sheng Ran's body better.
Not daring to delay any longer, the raven flapped its wings and carried Sheng Ran into the depths of the forest.
Zhangwei Mountain was already desolate and dilapidated, and with it being a rainy day, the vegetation was even more desolate.
Raven barely found a place with lush branches and leaves and carefully put Sheng Ran down.
Her clothes were soaked with blood and sweat, and soon seeped into the soil and disappeared.
Raven's usually cold and indifferent face was stained with anxiety. He waited anxiously, but did not find any signs of improvement in Sheng Ran.
But a faint green light appeared where her blood dripped.
He looked carefully and discovered that the mountain was actually absorbing her energy?
Sheng Ran is so seriously injured, but this evil mountain won’t let her go!
Raven clenched his fists, raised his arms and swung them, bringing out the force to break the wind and suddenly smashing down, shaking the earth and mountains.
Estimating the time, Ling Rui should have already asked the witch doctor to return. Raven had a cold face, picked up Sheng Ran and quickly left this dangerous place.
"How is it? How is my wife now?" Ling Rui hurriedly welcomed the witch doctor into the house and asked about Sheng Ran's condition.
Raven didn't want to talk about what happened just now. He walked straight to the witch doctor and said, "My mistress has a broken bone. Please do your best to heal her."
The witch doctor has seen emergencies like this a hundred times, if not a thousand times.
He is not a god, so how could he have so many techniques to bring the dead back to life?
After seeing Sheng Ran, the witch doctor just took a quick look.
He waved his hand and gave away some bottles and jars, then stroked his long beard and shook his head and sighed: "Let's see what your female master has in store."
Ling Rui was already anxious, and seeing his pretentious demeanor, he was furious: "Can't you just speak your mind, old man?"
Raven stopped him, suppressed his anxious mood, and looked at the witch doctor calmly, "Please explain."
"She had her bones removed but no external injuries. This must be due to the breaking of the contract. Her future recovery depends entirely on her. Your wife doesn't have a beast form, and her abilities are only at the Void level. It's a miracle that she's been able to hold on until now. I can't guarantee what the specific situation will be."
He also knew that Sheng Ran had a special identity and was afraid of getting into trouble, so he left in a flash after saying that.
"You stinky old man, do you have any medical ethics?" Ling Rui prepared all the coins in the animal treasury. He didn't even want to treat the patient and just left!
Faced with this situation for the first time, he paced around the room in a panic, remembering what the witch doctor had said, and questioned the raven angrily.
"She broke your death bond? Did you force her to do that?"
Raven was in no mood to explain so much to him. Controlling her emotions, she whispered, "I've never dreamed of such a thing. Why would I force her?"
When he was very young, Raven still had a glimmer of hope.
He had no father or mother, and was loved by everyone. He was saved by the Sheng family and became a slave of the tyrannical second lady.
But he thought that as long as he was obedient and did what he was told, he would always be able to find a chance to redeem himself and regain his freedom.
But as he grew older, Raven's extremely strong wind spiritual roots gradually became exposed.
More than one person predicted that he was gifted and would be able to reach the peak of the ninth level once he reached adulthood without having to expend much energy on cultivation.
Raven's situation changed completely.
Of course, the head of the Sheng family would not let go of such a useful knife, and thus a blood-related contract was formed.
Over the years, Sheng Ran has been arrogant and domineering, making enemies everywhere, just relying on Raven to protect her.
He was one of her assassins.
Every time Raven was hurt by Sheng Ran, he wanted to commit suicide.
But he was unwilling to give up. He had gritted his teeth and persevered for so many years. There was no reason for him to die so easily. He could only live with this evil woman.
——But I never expected that this death contract would be broken just like that, without any warning and so suddenly.
In the past, whenever he wanted a drop of Sheng Ran's blood, she would hold on to it tightly.
Now that she needed to break a bone, she actually did it quietly.
There is no joy of regaining freedom, no satisfaction of finally getting revenge.
Raven felt as if his world had collapsed along with it.
His throat was rough, and his voice almost trembled at the end. "I don't understand...why would she do this?"
Ling Rui fell silent upon hearing this. He felt an inexplicable sense of trepidation.
Since the wife was even willing to break Raven's death pact, she must have sincerely wanted to break off their engagement.
Ling Rui suddenly felt very scared. If that day really came, what should he do?
Is he really leaving?
His mind was already in a mess. He tried the medicine prescribed by the witch doctor, but it didn't seem to be of much use.
Desperate, he took out the herbs he had at home, crushed them and gave them to Sheng Ran.
She can react with these grasses, so she should be able to get through this smoothly.
"Let me do it." Raven held out his hand.
His eyes were dim, as if filled with great sadness.
Ling Rui didn't know what he was feeling at the moment: "Shouldn't you be happy to be free again?"
His hands trembled as he repeated what Raven had said about his wife the previous night: "My wife is unconscious. Who are you pretending to be for?"
The raven didn't say a word and ground the herbs silently.
After Ling Ruimen fell, he simply went to the yard to chop firewood and find work for himself.
Raven stayed by Sheng Ran's bedside, and Ling Rui knew he wouldn't dare to do anything to take advantage of her misfortune or be ungrateful. He returned to his room exhausted and had a quick rest.
Raven couldn't close his eyes and just stared at Sheng Ran without blinking.
She showed no signs of waking up, but suddenly moved her fingers late at night.
Then he hugged himself tremblingly, his lips trembling.
"What does the master want to say?" Raven moved closer nervously, not daring to miss any of her reactions.
But he forgot that Sheng Ran couldn't make any sound at all.
"Are you cold?" he asked hurriedly.
There were no extra quilts at home, and animal skins were no match for the cold.
The only thing that could keep him warm at the moment was his wings.
...Does she really not hate such ugly things?
He didn't dare to cover Sheng Ran at all.
