He frowned, and stood up to carry Hu Jiaojiao to bed to rest, but who knew that this movement would pull the wound, and his cold face wrinkled.

Hu Jiaojiao's sleep was very light, and she was quickly awakened by his movement.

"Long Mo, you're awake." Seeing Long Mo wake up, Hu Jiaojiao's face was happy, and she quickly let him lie down, "Don't move around, the wound on your body hasn't healed yet, tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

Although telling her was useless.

"I'm fine, Jiaojiao, the red spirit yesterday didn't hurt you..." Long Mo looked at Hu Jiaojiao nervously.

He was in a coma yesterday. I don't know how they came back to life.

I don't know if the spirit hurt Jiaojiao after he was in a coma. "I'm fine. I'm not hurt at all. The spirit has completely disappeared. You don't have to worry. What you need to do now is to heal the wound." Hu Jiaojiao explained with a faint smile.

Despite what Hu Jiaojiao said, Long Mo still checked her again and again, and only relaxed after confirming that she had no wounds.

Jiaojiao is fine.

"The spirit is..." How did it disappear?

Long Mo opened his mouth and saw Hu Jiaojiao's slightly narrowed eyes, as if waiting to explore, and he hesitated to speak.

"Let's put the matter of spirit aside for now." Hu Jiaojiao didn't give him a chance to ask questions, and pulled the wooden chair beside the bed back a meter.

Then she sat down upright, straightened her back, and looked at Long Mo seriously with a serious face.

Long Mo frowned slightly, and had a vague bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next second, he heard Hu Jiaojiao's voice asking lightly:

"Long Mo, are you hiding something from me?"

Long Mo raised his head and looked at Hu Jiaojiao. Her clear and bright eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. At this time, she looked at him very calmly, as if she already knew everything.

His heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Jiaojiao already knew?

She was asking herself now, if she was already very angry.

Without waiting for Long Mo to answer, Hu Jiaojiao continued:

"Long Mo, I don't want you to reveal everything about your past to me, but the thing you are hiding concerns your body and your life, I hope you can tell me."

"We are partners, if there are any problems, we should bear them together."

She didn't think that there should be no secrets between partners. On the contrary, she believed that even partners should have their own privacy, so she had not asked this question.

But now, this problem endangers Long Mo's safety, which means it endangers their family.

This is not just Long Mo's problem.

Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's words, Long Mo felt a little guilty.

He knew that he shouldn't hide anything from Jiaojiao.

"I did hide something from you." Long Mo also forced himself to sit up straight, sitting upright beside the bed, and looking Hu Jiaojiao in the face.

"You know, I'm a dragon beastman who failed to transform."

Hu Jiaojiao nodded. Everyone knew this.

Beastmen probably have a special way to identify this.

"After a dragon beastman fails to transform, there will be an irreversible weakness, and the body's self-healing ability will be very poor."

Hu Jiaojiao nodded again. She also knew this.

Long Mo looked at Hu Jiaojiao's face without any disgust, and let out a long sigh, then slowly said:

"Another point is that as you age, your self-healing ability will become worse and worse, until... you can't heal yourself."

This is still a euphemism.

Judging from what Hu Jiaojiao saw yesterday, it is not only that he cannot heal himself, but he cannot be cured at all, and even cannot be cured.

Even if the witch doctor treats him, it will not work.

Hearing this, Hu Jiaojiao frowned slightly.

Isn't this the same as a certain AIDS patient?

Any minor injury will have the risk of death, but in such a harsh living environment, how can he not get hurt at all?

"Then...what will happen in the end?" Hu Jiaojiao took a breath and asked with a serious look.

"The injury will not heal, and he will die of the disease." Long Mo replied.

This is the fate of the beastman who failed the transformation.

This is why, when he was born with a weak body, he was still able to survive in the tribe, but after the transformation failed, he was directly expelled from the tribe.

Because only death was waiting for him.

Hu Jiaojiao's heart sank. When she was reading the book, these things were not mentioned at all!

No wonder with Long Mo's strength, how could he be defeated by Ying Yuan? It turned out that in addition to the original body holding him back, there was also this important reason.

But even without the original body, he still couldn't survive?

Can a person's destiny be changed? Will the ending in the book still be the same?

Seeing that Hu Jiaojiao didn't say anything, Long Mo thought she was angry, so he explained in a low voice:

"I thought that with my ability, that day wouldn't come so soon. I could see the cubs grow up, but I didn't expect..."

A bone-eroded spirit actually made the sequelae of his failed transformation worsen prematurely.

"What about after the cubs grow up?" Hu Jiaojiao frowned and looked at Long Mo steadily.

Does he mean that he can leave after the cubs grow up?

Long Mo's solid defense was broken by a look from Hu Jiaojiao. He lowered his eyes and apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Jiaojiao, I shouldn't have hidden this from you."

"Tell me, after the cub grows up, what will happen when your body can no longer heal itself?" Hu Jiaojiao just asked him calmly and repeatedly.

She knew that Long Mo would not answer, so she continued slowly:

"You will leave me and the cub, right?"

Long Mo did not avoid Hu Jiaojiao's question, and nodded frankly, "I wanted to wait until the cub could stand on his own, then return to the Dragon Tribe and find a way to undergo a second transformation."

If he wanted to continue the transformation, he had to return to the Dragon Tribe.

Going back meant leaving Jiaojiao.

He didn't want Jiaojiao to experience hope and then be disappointed again, so he didn't plan to tell her about this.

He had calculated everything, even the possibility that he couldn't come back.

When she heard that there was still a way to continue the transformation, her eyes flashed.

That means there is still hope!

"Can I find a way to transform a second time by returning to the Dragon Tribe? I'll go back with you!" She said with a firm look in her eyes.

"Yes, but the Dragon Tribe won't welcome me back." Long Mo's eyes darkened a little, and his low voice was a little cold.

When they threw him out like garbage, did they think that he would come back one day?

"You are still injured. If you get injured again, you will..." Hu Jiaojiao was worried.

"Don't worry, Jiaojiao, I'll be fine." Long Mo gently held Hu Jiaojiao's hand and placed it on his chest, "We'll talk about going to the Dragon Tribe later."

"Okay." Hu Jiaojiao nodded, she looked at Long Mo deeply, and said in a firm tone: "I am your partner, no matter what happens, I will stand by you."

Long Mo's eyes were soft, "Yes, we are partners." So he would definitely not let Jiaojiao be in any danger.
