The power of the laws seemed to be aware of Mu Xiaoling's thoughts. It instantly turned into thin needles and pierced into the meridians of Mu Xiaoling's entire body.
The pain was akin to countless fine needles wreaking havoc on her body.
"With... "I …"
With every word she spoke, it was as if thousands of needles had suddenly appeared, filling her body to the brim, ripping her internal organs apart.
Mu Xiaoling spat out a mouthful of blood, which was all splattered on Xiao Yu's handsome face, causing his pale white face to turn even more blood-red.
She raised her hand and gently caressed Xiao Yu's face. Every time it was Xiao Yu who would teach her how to face him, and every time it was Xiao Yu who would protect her.
In the blink of an eye, the chant for the contract spat out another two words, and Xiao Yu's body disappeared at an increased speed.
At this moment, an imposing voice sounded in Mu Xiaoling's heart. "A contract only exists for the sake of a beast pet. How can it be used in a human's body? Give up. I'll teach you how to treat him."
In the end, the voice was filled with temptation.
However, Mu Xiaoling didn't believe a single word of it. If she could really save him, then why didn't she say so earlier? She was afraid that she would have to stop.
The voice that was produced by the power of laws became anxious, and loudly shouted, "You dare to violate the rules, aren't you afraid of the power of laws rebounding back at you?!"
Mu Xiaoling didn't think much of it as there wasn't a single person in the world who knew who set this power of laws. Since there wasn't one, she was able to change it.
He finished with another five words.
The resistance this time was even greater.
It was no longer just pain. Mu Xiaoling could clearly feel a force pulling her away, as if she was just like Xiao Yu, throwing her out of this world.
Two thin ropes shot out from the Southern Palace and forcefully pulled the two people off their bodies. They then gritted their teeth and said, "Continue!"
However, Mu Xiaoling felt a force on her mouth and found that she couldn't open it.
Mu Xiaoling's clothes were dyed bright red by the blood. Her eyes were wide open and the veins on her forehead were taut. She used all of her strength, but it was just barely enough.
I definitely can't give up!
Xiao Yu was still waiting for her.
The ancient power inside her started to operate again. The vigorous energy filled her body, temporarily blocking all the pain. Her lips seemed to be unsealed as she said another word.
Following that, with every word she spoke, a portion of the ancient power would be erased, until the last word — Honored Warrior.
With my blood, the spirit of the Sacrifice, the worshipping of all beasts, and the exorcism of all beasts.
In that moment, the wind stopped and the black clouds scattered. The suction force from the sky and earth disappeared, and Mu Xiaoling and Xiao Yu fell back onto the bed. Xiao Yu only had one head left, which turned into a beam of light and floated between Mu Xiaoling's eyebrows.
As long as he lived to the age of Xiao Yu, as long as his sea of consciousness wasn't destroyed, he wouldn't die.
Mu Xiaoling was relieved as she coughed out more blood. Her breathing was weak and could be stopped at any time. It was only when a pill was stuffed into her mouth that she finally felt better. However, her vision gradually turned blurry.
Suddenly, she heard someone say, "As long as the Life Continuing Pill of our Southern Palace is still alive, we will absolutely guarantee that you won't die."
Mu Xiaoling didn't know how long she had slept, but in the darkness, she suddenly felt a trace of light and entered the beast driving space.
However, the usually lively space was now deserted. Xue Qing and the others had fallen into a deep sleep and hadn't awoken yet. There was nothing on this empty grassland.
Wait, it's not like there was nothing.
Mu Xiaoling took a few steps forward and another person appeared on the ground. It was Xiao Yu, but he was much better than when he was outside. His body had already grown back and his skin had returned to normal, but he was still sleeping.
She stared at the rise and fall of Xiao Yu's chest as her heart finally returned to its original position. This was great, she had saved him this time as well.
Mu Xiaoling smiled. Her beautiful face was as warm and beautiful as the rising sun.
Unknowingly, however, she'd lied beside Xiao Yu and fallen asleep just like that.
"Ling'er, Ling'er, wake up."
Hearing Nangong Wen's shout, Mu Xiaoling tried her best to open her eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled due to her actions and she slowly opened them.
This was no longer her beast driving space, but rather the Southern Palace's Qi bedroom?
"Ling'er, you're finally awake!" Nangong Wen's eyes were as swollen as a walnut. It was unknown how many times she cried.
"Mother?" Mu Xiaoling wanted to sit up and speak, but her body became powerless and even her voice sounded like she was blowing on the air.
"It's good that you're awake. I'll go find the Southern Palace and ask them to come over." Nangong Wen quickly ran out and dragged the Southern Palace girl over. Surprisingly, there was a girl behind her. She was beautiful and it was Liu Chen'er.
Chen'er has actually recovered her youth?
How could Mu Xiaoling remember that they had only entered the valley for a day? Didn't the Southern Palace say that they would have to wait for some time?
When Nan Gong Qi checked Mu Xiaoling's pulse, he finally sighed in relief, "There's nothing wrong with my body. It's just that I'm weak at the moment. I'll just need to recuperate and recuperate."
Liu Cheng'er seemed to notice Mu Xiaoling's curiosity and said, "Lady Mu, you have been in a coma for three months."
Mu Xiaoling was surprised as she didn't expect her to be unconscious for such a long time.
On the other hand, Nan Gong Qi felt that nothing was amiss: "My internal organs are injured, and my meridians are broken. Only I, Nan Gong Qi, am able to cure you of your injuries, and you are only able to wake up after sleeping for three months."
When Mu Xiaoling heard this, her vision began to turn heavy and she unknowingly fell asleep again.
Nangong Wen was shocked and nervously grabbed onto South Court Qi's hand, "Why did Ling'er close her eyes again!"
NanGong Qi hurriedly checked Mu Xiaoling's pulse again, but the anxiousness on his face froze, "She's asleep."
"That's good." Nan Gong Wen heaved a sigh of relief and muttered to himself: "But later on, it will be time to wake up. I need to get some food to properly supplement her." With that, he drifted away like a gust of wind.
NanGong Qi and Liu Chen'er looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. They had seen this beloved daughter of theirs before …
When Mu Xiaoling woke up, it was already dark outside. There was only the candle in the room emitting a faint light and Nangong Wen was sitting by the table, embroidering a lotus.
Seeing that she had woken up, Nan Gong Wen immediately put down the things in her hands, went to the kitchen and brought in a medicine bowl and chicken soup. He placed them on the table, "Nan Gong Qi said that he needs to drink the medicine first and then eat something else. The effect will be better this way." As he said that, he carried the medicine bowl over and fed the ingredients one spoonful at a time.
The medicine was very bitter. Mu Xiaoling frowned as the candied fruit that Xiao Yu prepared for her suddenly appeared in her mind. It was sour and sweet, but thinking about the taste, it didn't seem like the medicine was that bitter anymore.
After eating the medicine and drinking the soup, Nangong Wen took away the bowl and looked back at Mu Xiaoling lying on the bed like she was lying on a corpse. She couldn't stop her tears from rolling down her face, "Why does my Ling'Er have to suffer so much?"
