Hearing the word "serious injury", Xuanyuan Chen's face slightly twisted, his gloomy and cold eyes swept across Shang Zhiqing's body, and said coldly: "You better pray that A Rong will be alright, if not, the Heavenly Saint's Steel Cavalry will definitely trample over you in the future."
Seeing Xie Qingrong smile faintly, Xuanyuan Chen rubbed the corner of her lips in pain. However, the irritation and fury in his heart miraculously calmed down.
In fact, this was not a good feeling.
She could clearly feel her vital signs disappearing bit by bit. The loss of her blood made her feel more and more exhausted and cold.
But when she saw Xuanyuan Chen's remorseful and upset expression, she felt a twinge of sorrow in her heart. She endured the cold and tiredness, expending all her strength to raise her arm to comfort Xuanyuan Chen.
Shang Zhiqing was somewhat unable to bear with such a suffocating scene, so she sat with her back facing the ground, embracing the two of them. Her complicated gaze stopped at the nearby cliff.
The young girl's bashful look that was hidden in the bracts of the metazoan flower began to disappear along with Xie Qingrong's letting out blood. The tender red petal started to wither.
Shen Haoxuan had obviously also discovered the current situation of the metazoan flower, and shock filled the depths of his eyes. Just as he wanted to say something, he was stopped by Shang Zhiqing.
"This is a process that requires one to undergo a blood transformation. Although it has withered, it will quickly regain its vitality. The blood that I originally poured onto the metazoan flower should have been mostly replaced by now. Wait until elder sister's fresh blood is replaced, then she will be able to return to her budding state. "
As for whether it would blossom or not, she wasn't sure.
According to ancient records, there were already five Holy Daughters that could not fully bloom, including her and her mother. It all depended on her sister now.
If the metazoan flower flower, the merchant would inevitably enter society.
With the height that elder sister could reach in the merchant house, perhaps the merchant house would merge with the Heavenly Sage. At that time, the rotting appearance of the merchant house could be changed and life could once again flourish.
However, this process was very painful, and also very long.
He only hoped to change the fate of the Shang family before Mo Yun and the ordinary powers of the Elders Guild merged.
"Love. Was the reason why you were so distant from me before because of your identity as the Saint Daughter of the Shang family?" Shen Haoxuan stood beside Shang Zhiqing and looked at the metazoan flower from afar.
Just now, the wilting of the metazoan flower s' petals had indeed shocked him a little, but after Shang Zhiqing's explanation, he was no longer worried. It was just that why was it that even though something had already begun to turn for the better, an irresistible haze and gloom still remained in Shang Zhiqing's eyes.
From the moment he had met her, he had already discovered the faint coldness and melancholy coming from Shang Zhiqing's body. However, he also couldn't bear to disrupt Shang Zhiqing's naive and lively mood.
He could endure Shang Zhiqing's intermittent attitude, and he could also bear her estrangement, but he could not bear the fact that he had lost her.
And the closer he got to the Shang family, the more he felt the unease in his heart.
"Haoxuan, I am sorry. As for my identity, I have always been hiding it from you and have never told you about it. However, this is not my choice, so it will definitely become my choice. "
Shang Zhiqing had an ashamed look on her face as she said guiltily.
Shen Haoxuan's hand that was waving the fan suddenly stopped, the smile on his face slowly faded, and he looked at Shang Zhiqing who was feeling guilty.
However, if there was always this problem and conflict between the two of them, how long could they walk for?
Just in the name of love?
How long can it last?
"Actually, I've been waiting for you to speak, but I've been waiting and waiting for a long time and you've been unwilling to tell me. Then I thought of the unspeakable, the human nature, I can understand. However, I do not wish to be the last to know about you every time in the future. "
Actually, he had wanted to tell Shang Zhiqing these words a long time ago, but he just hadn't found a suitable opportunity to do so.
He wanted the connection between them to be more than just love.
"I don't expect you to always be by my side, but at least you have to be where I can see you. Even though I don't have the possessiveness that Chen has, I still hope that you can stay by my side. " While talking, Shen Haoxuan suddenly started to choke up.
At that time, when Shang Zhiqing was coaching the little emperor in the Yue Country, he was also worried. He was extremely worried about Shang Zhiqing, but he believed that Shang Zhiqing had the ability to do it well.
Only, he still had that deep hope that Shang Zhiqing would be fine, that she would be safe and sound, that she would happily stay by his side.
This was the first time Shang Zhiqing had ever heard her white heart. A tear fell from the corner of her eye. She rarely cried, and practically never cried. Even back then, when she had no choice but to give up her hazy feelings for Shen Haoxuan, she had never cried either.
But why did he feel so wronged that he wanted to cry?
He wanted to speak up to defend himself, but he didn't know how.
As if he finally couldn't endure it any longer, he threw himself into Shen Haoxuan's embrace, stuffed his entire head into his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "I won't let you be so afraid in the future. "When the two matters between the Holy Maiden and the Shang family are completely over, I will go to the ends of the earth with you."
"Alright." Shen Haoxuan hugged Shang Zhiqing back, using the strength in his hands to tightly lock her in his embrace, as if he wanted to ruthlessly bury her within his own body.
The metazoan flower's petals withered bit by bit, and the tender red petals became a lifeless dark red.
Even after waiting for a very long time, Shang Zhiqing hid in Shen Haoxuan's embrace, and stared at the metazoan flower without blinking. She kept calculating in her heart how long it would take for the metazoan flower to bloom once again.
According to the records made ten years ago, the time at which her blood would affect the metazoan flower, should be a quarter of an hour later, the metazoan flower would regrow its bud.
However, a miracle happened unexpectedly.
Just as the stamen of the metazoan flower withered, it bloomed once more.
The bitter and shriveled petals once more became fresh raindrops. From a tender red, their color gradually changed, becoming deeper and deeper. In the end, they became bright red, like fresh and glistening drops of blood.
Is this the power of inheritance?
Because the content of the medicinal liquid in her blood was too high, the petals could only turn a tender red, and not the bright red that she had seen so far?
The color of the petals changed bit by bit.
The bud that was ready to bloom had a tendency of stretching gradually.
A flower petal slowly bloomed outwards, Shang Zhiqing couldn't help but hold her breath, and quietly waited for everything to happen.
A refreshing breeze blew from the edge of the cliff. The water rippled and rippled.
