“Where does it hurt?” Si Mobai held onto Feng Tianlan. His heart broke when he saw how pale her face had become.
Feng Tianlan’s heart hurt so much. She didn’t have much strength left, and even her breathing was weak. It took a long time for the pain to subside. Eventually, she managed to regain some strength. “You can’t pull it out. It seems to have grown right into me.”
“What?” Si Mobai’s hand was near the wound, but he dared not touch it. He became extremely anxious because of what she’d said.
“What do you mean by ‘it’s grown right into me’?” Luo Yunzhu’s face also paled.
Chuling’s tears immediately started falling. “Doesn’t that mean that Miss is…” She couldn’t even finish her sentence because of her crying.
“That’s impossible. It’s just a vine, so how could it grow inside you?” Zhang Tiancheng’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Azurite’s face was all white. She blamed herself and felt very guilty. If she hadn’t made a mistake in judgment, then this wouldn’t have happened to her master.
Feng Tianlan was still clutching her chest with her hand. That feeling of something squeezing her heart earlier had been so painful that she nearly couldn’t breathe. “It seems to have grown into my heart. The moment Si Mobai pulled it, it felt like my heart was being squeezed and was about to burst.”
Luo Yunzhu and Zhang Tiancheng exchanged glances. They couldn’t believe that such a crazy thing was possible.
Chuling covered her mouth with both hands and didn’t dare let out a sob.
Azurite knelt down again. “Master, please punish me.”
Si Mobai held Feng Tianlan tightly. His trembling fingers showed how afraid he was. If a vine was growing into her heart, could she still live?
“I’ll take you away.” Si Mobai carried Feng Tianlan and got up. No matter how dangerous the road ahead was, he was going to take her out of the Guiyuan Continent and go to the Xuantian Continent. There had to be someone there who could save Lan’er.
Luo Yunzhu and the rest hurried along behind him.
Feng Tianlan tugged at Si Mobai’s sleeve and shook her head. “No need. I’m fine. It was just a little painful earlier because of the pulling.”
“No, I must take you away right now.” Si Mobai was very insistent. He would not allow her to leave this world. If she were no longer around, then there would be no reason for him to continue living.
“Si Mobai, I’m really fine,” Feng Tianlan said seriously. She hadn’t felt it at all when the vine had wound itself around her heart. She wouldn’t have even discovered that it had happened at all if he hadn’t tried to forcibly pull it out.
Si Mobai’s face remained cold, and his attitude was resolute. This was a matter of life and death. It was no joke, so he was definitely not going to go along with her.
Feng Tianlan tugged at his sleeve as she looked up at him and spoke very sincerely, “Really, my back doesn’t hurt anymore. In fact, it’s a little itchy. Like, it’s healing. You can take a look.”
Si Mobai didn’t say anything. His face was so cold. It was like a glacier that had been frozen for millennia. The cold aura around him could freeze anything within three feet.
When she saw how insistent he was, Feng Tianlan clenched her teeth and called out a little stiffly, “Mobai.”
Si Mobai froze and looked down at Feng Tianlan. She was looking at him with her teary and expectant phoenix eyes. It moved his heart a little, but he still kept a cold face. “It’s not up to you to decide.”
When it came to her survival, he was not going to be careless! She could forget about trying to coax him and make him listen to her.
Feng Tianlan was afraid that he would really carry her away, so she quickly said, “Mobai, believe me, just this once. I’m really alright. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at my back.”
“Mobai, Mobai, Mobai…” When she saw that he was still walking ahead, Feng Tianlan reached out and grabbed his collar. She called his name several times in a row until it came naturally.
