Qi Nuan staggered to Ye Sheng's side, looked at her miserable state, and said helplessly, "Are you awake now?"
Ye Sheng reached out and wiped the blood from her lips, then smiled and said, "I've been perfectly lucid the whole time."
Qi Nuan understood and helped her up, feeding her the pills as if they were free. Ye Sheng swallowed the pills and then turned to look at Gu Yucheng on the ground.
Gu Yucheng was in a rather pitiful state at this moment. Not only had he lost an arm, but he had also been stabbed in the chest, and his white clothes were now stained red with blood.
Of course, Ye Sheng and Qi Nuan weren't much better off. However, Ye Sheng still burst into laughter.
A silvery laugh filled their ears. Although she was controlled by the sound of a heartbeat, she was not entirely without her own consciousness. After the heart in the sky was destroyed by them, she regained her own consciousness.
However, why should she hold back if she could hurt them? After all, Xihe Divine Lord had no intention of going easy on them, and she and Qi Nuan had fought against them countless times before, so injuries were inevitable.
They ended up in this situation because of them. Of course, she knew that it couldn't be entirely blamed on them. Their positions were different, and there was no right or wrong, but the harm done couldn't be erased overnight.
She and Qi Nuan had been together for countless years, and there were no secrets between them. Now, she knew what Qi Nuan was thinking and what she was going to do.
Qi Nuan is said to be soft-hearted, but that's not really the case. More often than not, she's like a heartless person. Nothing can move her, and she doesn't care about anything. She can abandon everything, even life and death, but she can't.
Qi Nuan can accept everything calmly and understand everyone. She knows that Jiang Yu and Gu Yucheng care about them, and she also knows that they will not let them go because of this little love. More than anything, they see them struggling like ants, and this is the love of the gods.
High and mighty.
But she couldn't understand like Qi Nuan, nor could she accept it as readily as she did. All she wanted to ask was, "Why?"
Fortunately, she knew her too well; as long as she made a move, Qi Nuan would stand on her side without any reason.
That was enough. She saw the pain flash in Jiang Yu's eyes and Gu Yucheng's momentary astonishment, and a sense of pleasure rose from the bottom of her heart.
Qi Nuan didn't say anything, but just quietly stayed by her side, waiting for her to calm down.
Jiang Yu, who was high in the sky, had already landed on the ground. He ignored Gu Yucheng on the ground and just looked at Qi Nuan quietly. However, Qi Nuan did not look into his eyes. She just lowered her head and looked at Ye Sheng in her arms.
After Ye Sheng finished laughing, he wiped the blood from his mouth, stood up, and looked at Jiang Yu and Gu Yucheng with a mocking tone: "Are you two Divine Lords still going to come with us?"
Without waiting for their reply, she and Qi Nuan turned and left. Of course, they didn't care whether Jiang Yu and Gu Yucheng followed them or not.
She had been feeling extremely frustrated these past few days. She hated the relationship between them and the government, hated this love-hate relationship, this indecisive and hesitant situation. Since they couldn't help them, why should they give them any more kindness?
If you want to fight or kill, just bring it on. Let's have a good, satisfying battle. She no longer cares about whether we live or die.
However, having vented her anger, she now felt extremely better.
Seeing Ye Sheng's light steps, Qi Nuan felt relaxed. She turned around and glanced at the two people following behind her, a smile appearing on her face. She casually took out some pills and tossed them to the two of them.
"Here, are the gifts of thanks and my apologies to you."
If it weren't for the two of them, they probably wouldn't have been able to crack the secret manual so easily. Of course, their innocent injuries could also be considered their fault.
However, their destruction of the core source they were looking for could be considered a net effect.
Her tone was light and her smile bright.
The two people behind him were slightly taken aback, but they quickly burst into laughter without realizing it.
For a moment, the atmosphere among the four of them was extremely pleasant.
Perhaps this is a case of "no destruction, no construction." Before, the relationship between the four of them was silent and awkward, but now it's very good. They do what they want to do, and they do what they should do.
Ye Sheng was naturally aware of Qi Nuan's actions, but she did not stop her. She simply looked at Qi Nuan and snorted coldly.
Qi Nuan smiled at her, then clutched her chest and said, "Ouch, my wound hurts so much, I can't walk anymore..."
After saying that, she turned to look at Jiang Yu, and said in a rather pitiful tone, "Yu, my wound hurts... Can you carry me on your back?"
After walking, Qi Nuan stood still and waited for Jiang Yu to come over. Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, then naturally squatted down. Qi Nuan pressed herself against him, hugged his neck, and felt his body temperature. Then she glanced at Ye Sheng and saw a fleeting smile in her eyes. She couldn't help but find it a little funny.
She gently rubbed her head against Jiang Yu's shoulder, looked at his slightly reddened earlobe, and smiled from the bottom of her heart. She then rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep.
She secretly circulated her spiritual energy within her body to heal her internal injuries. Of course, the pain she described was not untrue, as her injuries were indeed quite severe.
The group emerged from the cave at midday. The sunlight outside was somewhat dazzling, but it felt warm and comfortable on their skin.
Qi Nuan looked up at the sky and said, "Let's find a place to heal our injuries before leaving the secret realm."
Her voice was languid, sounding somewhat weak. Jiang Yu looked at her with some concern, "Are you alright?"
Qi Nuan shook her head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, a minor problem. It's much lighter than the hurt you caused me before."
Hearing this, Jiang Yu pursed his lips and remained silent. Of course, Qi Nuan's intention in saying this was not to make him feel guilty or anything, but rather that their relationship did not need to be avoided.
She pinched his ear. "Next time you're facing me, you have to be gentle, I'm afraid of hurting you."
"There will be no future, I won't hurt you."
The young man's voice was soft, yet solemn. Qi Nuan smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but simply said, "Don't be soft-hearted, because I won't be. This is fine."
With the heart destroyed, there's nothing dangerous in the manual now.
The group found a place to meditate and heal their injuries. Gu Yucheng's face looked a little pale. Although the arm that had been bitten off by the beast was no longer bleeding, it looked like a bloody mess and was quite frightening. However, this was nothing to them, so they weren't afraid.
Ye Sheng looked at his wound, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes, but she didn't show it.
She walked over and gently kicked him with her foot. "Aren't you a god? How come you're so useless? You've even lost your arm."
Gu Yucheng looked at her with a hint of exasperation and chuckled, "What? You're not pretending anymore?"
Just like in the cycle of reincarnation, he doesn't suffer any loss and is truly ruthless; his chest still aches faintly.
Understanding his gaze, Ye Sheng smiled and said, "This is what Buddhism calls cause and effect."
"So this is what you deserve. If you're not strong enough, you can't blame anyone else."
"Indeed, if you lack the strength, you can't blame anyone else."
His words were pointed, and they all understood what he meant.
However, Ye Sheng didn't hold it against him. Healing her injuries was the priority, after all, there was still a tough battle to fight when she got out. Thinking of this, her eyes, which had been somewhat warm, instantly turned extremely cold.
