587 Water
She did not even have time to despise Old Wu when his tears and snot fell on her.
She wanted to tell the old man to stay away. She was afraid that the old man’s snot would fall into her mouth.
She was in too much pain. What if she couldn’t shut her mouth?
It hurt so much. Why couldn’t she faint?
It was very difficult, but she had never thought of giving up. She had lived for two lifetimes and it was not easy for her to get to where she was today. Her family was safe and rich, and she was also a little famous. She had given up on being the darling of the rich and powerful. The hardships she had suffered in the past were not for nothing.
Now, Wisdom King Zhou Zhi was her close friend. The two of them had gone through life and death together.
The noble Crown Prince, the future emperor, was her third brother-in-law.
The elder sister who doted on her the most was the Crown Prince’s wife, and she would be the queen of a country in the future.
Her elder brother was a top scorer in martial arts. In the future, he would have no problem becoming a king.
Her second brother was the top scorer in academics. He was talented and intelligent. In the future, her second brother would definitely be the prime minister. She could do whatever she wanted in the Great Zhou!
She had a divine doctor master who was proficient in both medicine and poison. She also had the number one sword artist as her master. With such a good identity, where could he find a better life?
Therefore, she could not die. If she did not live arrogantly for a hundred years, she would be letting her status down.
No matter how much it hurt, she was not afraid. Not afraid, not afraid!
Su Xiaolu was very determined. She firmly believed that she could hold on.
After noon, her pain began to decrease rapidly.
Old Wu had already fainted from crying and was carried off to rest.
Su Chong and Zhou Heng surrounded her. They held her hands and didn’t say anything. They only let her know that they were all there.
Gui You was also by her side. His usual cold arrogance had disappeared. He frowned and his eyes were filled with worry.
Meeting Su Xiaolu’s gaze, he said coldly, “Girl, have you forgotten the promise you made to your eldest cousin? If you’re gone, this promise won’t count. Think about it carefully. If you break your promise, how disappointed will your eldest cousin be? I heard that he’s lost all his impetuousness in the past year. Now, he’s just waiting for you to keep your promise.”
Su Xiaolu’s eyes turned red. Yes, she couldn’t die.
Her one-year promise with Qi Xingfeng had come to an end, and she hadn’t fulfilled it yet.
“I won’t… I won’t die.”
She used all her strength to say these words.
She would endure it. Definitely. Definitely.
As the sky gradually darkened, the water membrane on Su Xiaolu’s body was still there, wrapped around one of her arms.
Her mental state was getting worse and worse. No matter how much tonic she took, it was useless.
In a daze, she heard many arguments.
“It’s all your fault. It’s all your fault. Don’t think I don’t know that you’re just jealous that your brother is stronger than you. If anything happens to my girl, I won’t let you have an easy time even if I have to risk my life!”
“Why is it taking so long? Why did she hurt for so long? Ahhh… My heart is about to break. My good disciple, my heart…”
“Our master doesn’t want anything to happen to Miss Su either. You can’t blame our master!”
“It’s his fault. It’s all his fault. I’ve always looked down on him. He’s just a sanctimonious person. Did I really think he’s a good person? Pfft, pfft, pfft! How can he have a good heart when he came from a man-eating place!”
“Uncle-Master is right. Everything is my fault. I have no complaints about how Uncle-Master wants to punish me. Uncle-Master saved my life. It doesn’t matter if Uncle-Master wants to take it. I’m willing to pay with my life!”
…
Su Xiaolu opened her eyes with difficulty. She wanted to tell them not to argue.
Su Chong held Su Xiaolu’s hand tightly and said in a choked voice, “Xiaolu, did you hear that? Little Brother Heng and Uncle-Master Wu are arguing. If you can’t hold on, something will happen. Uncle-Master only has you as his disciple.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Su Chong. She wanted to say, “Hurry up and persuade him.”
However, Su Chong did not seem to understand. There were only reddened eyes and hot tears falling onto her neck.
“Xiaolu, if something happens to you, how will Big Brother explain it to Father and Mother? Xiaolu, if this is a normal world, Big Brother would rather never get better. Uncle-Master can’t accept it, and Big Brother can’t accept losing you.”
Su Chong sobbed.
“Why are you in pain for so long? If only the pain could be transferred to Big Brother.”
His every word was like a hot knife tip that pierced Su Xiaolu’s heart.
She was also crying. She did not know why she was in so much pain for so long. This was not something she could change.
Perhaps if she wanted to obtain something different from others, the price she had to pay was even more painful.
She was not someone who could withstand pain. She had never felt so much pain before. She had never felt so much pain in her two lifetimes.
It was hard to persevere, but she had never thought of giving up. No matter how much it hurt, no matter how long it hurt, there would always be an end.
At this moment, where Su Xiaolu could not see, everyone was frowning.
“Xiaolu’s situation is too special.”
Zhou Heng sounded helpless.
Old Wu was silent and a little sad. “I’ve done everything I can and can’t do…”
It was said that when fate came, they would meet. When fate dissipated, they would separate. How could he control a mere mortal body? He had always been very open-minded. However, at this moment, he refused to believe it.
F*ck fate! F*ck off!
No matter what they did, Su Xiaolu still fell unconscious. This time, no one could wake her up.
The water membrane on her arm was still there. It didn’t dissipate, but it didn’t disappear either.
Gradually, the sky brightened again.
Su Xiaolu still did not wake up.
Old Wu cried until his eyes were swollen and his voice was hoarse.
Another day dawned. At this moment, Su Xiaolu had been in pain for three days and three nights.
“Master, wake up quickly. Divine doctor Wu, Senior… Wake up quickly. The water membrane on Miss Su’s body is gone!”
When Mu Si saw that Su Xiaolu was clean, he thought that he had seen it wrongly. After rubbing his eyes to confirm repeatedly, he hurriedly woke everyone up.
This sound woke everyone up.
Old Wu was in a sorry state and was not in a good mood. When he saw Su Xiaolu, he cried again. “Stupid girl…”
He thought Su Xiaolu was dead.
Su Xiaolu opened her eyes with difficulty and said weakly, “Master, I’m so hungry…”
She was also woken up by the noise. When she woke up, there was no discomfort on her body, only hunger. Looking at the pitiful old man with white hair, Su Xiaolu instantly felt a lump in her throat and wheedled pitifully.
“You damn girl, you scared me to death…”
Old Wu was stunned for a moment before he cried tears of joy. He raised his hand high and gently hit Su Xiaolu.
Su Chong, Zhou Heng, and Gui You appeared in Su Xiaolu’s line of sight.
Su Xiaolu smiled and said softly, “Big Brother, Third Brother, Master Gui You, I’m fine. I’m sorry for making you worry about me.”
“It’s good that you’re fine. I’ll get you something to eat,” Gui You said calmly and turned to leave.
