Chapter 862 - 862 I Didn't Hurt Her

862 I Didn’t Hurt Her

Accompanied by Xing Chen, Huanhuan saw Eggy, who was locked in a cage.

Eggy lay on the ground, looking weak.

Her eyes lit up when she saw her mother. She tried her best to get up, but in the end, she fell to the ground.

“Mom…”

Huanhuan turned to look at Xing Chen. “What happened to Eggy?”

“She lost a lot of blood. Don’t worry, she won’t die for a while.”

Huanhuan’s heart ached. “Can you help open the cage?”

“No way.”

Xing Chen refused bluntly.

Although she was already prepared for this answer, Huanhuan was still disappointed.

She put the food on the ground. When Xing Chen wasn’t looking, she bit her finger and squeezed two drops of blood into the soup. Then, she pushed the food into the cage.

“Eggy, eat some of this.”

Eggy crawled to the food with difficulty and ate.

She ate especially quickly and almost choked several times.

Huanhuan quickly advised, “Drink some soup. Don’t choke.”

Eggy drank all the soup in the bowl in one go.

After drinking it, she suddenly felt strong.

Huanhuan blinked at Eggy with Xing Chen on her back.

Eggy immediately understood what her mother meant. She continued to lie on the ground, still looking weak.

Huanhuan took back her empty bowl and said gently to her youngest daughter, “You have to take good care of yourself. Don’t do anything stupid, understand?”

Eggy replied, “Yes.”

Huanhuan wanted to spend more time with her daughter, but He Zong suddenly appeared. When he saw Huanhuan, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a treasure.

“Lady Prophet, I need your help with something.”

Knowing that the other party was ambitious, Huanhuan couldn’t be bothered to be nice to him anymore. She asked expressionlessly, “What do you need help with?”

“I need to borrow your blood.”

“What do you want my blood for?”

“Naturally, I’ll heal the beasts’ wounds and win their hearts. I’ll let all my subjects know that even without divine servants and prophets, I can heal their illnesses and injuries in a short period of time.”

Huanhuan had long guessed that the reason why He Zong didn’t kill her was partly that she had a high reputation in the hearts of the people. If she suddenly died, it would definitely cause a huge panic. At the same time, it was to squeeze out the last bit of her value.

But He Zong couldn’t imprison her forever.

He would use this period of time to think of ways to reduce the prestige of the temple and the prophet. He would also increase the prestige of the royal family so that all his subjects would believe in them.

Huanhuan said slowly, “My flesh and blood are limited. When you drain my flesh and blood, what will you use to continue lying to your subjects?”

He Zong smiled very strangely. “Don’t worry, I naturally have my ways.”

He grabbed Huanhuan’s wrist, his nails cutting into her skin. Blood gushed out of the wound and into the bowl.

Seeing this, Eggy’s eyes instantly turned red.

She rushed forward recklessly. “Let go of Mom! Let go of her!”

He Zong looked up at Eggy and clicked his tongue. “Aren’t you about to die? Why are you alive and kicking again?”

At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Huanhuan meaningfully. “Honorable Prophet, you must have fed her your blood, right? What a great mother!”

Huanhuan pursed her lips, her face pale from blood loss.

Xing Chen watched coldly the entire time.

It wasn’t until the bowl was filled with blood that He Zong let go of Huanhuan’s wrist and smiled proudly. “Thank you for the blood, Lady Prophet!”

With that, he turned and walked away with the bowl filled with blood.

Huanhuan’s vision darkened.

She swayed twice and fell back. Fortunately, she held onto the birdcage behind her in time to avoid falling to the ground.

Xing Chen’s hand stopped in midair.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally reached out to Huanhuan. “Why didn’t you ask me for help just now?”

Huanhuan waved his hand away and laughed at herself. “He’s a snake, and you’re a rat. If I ask you for help, it’ll only signify that my brain has turned to mush.”

Eggy squeezed her wings out of the cage and held Huanhuan’s shoulder. Tears welled in her eyes. “Mom, I’m useless. I couldn’t protect you.”

Huanhuan touched her wings with difficulty. “It’s okay. Don’t cry. I’m just a little tired. I’ll be fine after resting for a while…”

Before she could finish, she closed her eyes and involuntarily fell asleep.

Xing Chen picked her up in his arms.

As Eggy squeezed desperately out of the cage, she shouted, “Let go of my mother! You monster, let her go!”

It had been many years since anyone called him a monster.

Xing Chen paused and turned to look at Eggy in the cage.

For a moment, he wanted to kill her.

But he quickly pushed the thought away.

If Eggy died, he would have nothing to threaten Huanhuan with.

Eggy couldn’t die yet.

Xing Chen carried Huanhuan back to the bedroom.

He lowered Huanhuan to the bed and carefully covered her with the blanket. He picked up her wrist and examined it.

The wound had healed, leaving no trace.

If not for the fact that her face was too pale, the scene of her wrist being cut and bleeding would have seemed like an illusion.

She would rather endure the pain of being bled than open her mouth to ask him for help.

She must hate him.

Xing Chen put her hand under the blanket.

He didn’t understand.

She was the one who had lied to him repeatedly and even wanted to kill him. He should be the one she hated.

Why did she hate him more now?

Xing Chen stood up and walked out of the bedroom.

After going down the mountain, he found a female in the city.

This female was very old. She had a head of white hair and many wrinkles on her face, but there were still many male beasts willing to take care of her.

After the male beasts left, Xing Chen appeared in front of the old female. “Have you ever hated anyone?” he asked.

The old female was old, and her legs were clumsy. Her vision was not good either. She rubbed her eyes, but she still could not see who the male beast in front of her was.

But she could sense that the other party meant no harm.

She sat in the chair and said slowly, “No.”

At her age, she had already gone through all sorts of experiences.

“There’s a female who hates me a lot. Do you know why?”

The old female laughed. “You’re asking this because you like her, right?”

Xing Chen said nothing.

He actually didn’t understand what it meant to like someone.

He just wanted to be with Huanhuan and never be apart from her.

The old female said, “She hates you because you did something she hates. Did you hurt her?”

Xing Chen said, “I didn’t hurt her. She’s the one who keeps hurting me.”

The answer surprised the old female.

She was stunned for a moment before saying, “If you really like her, you should do more things to help her. Let her feel your thoughtfulness and gentleness. Perhaps her heart will soften.”

Xing Chen looked thoughtful.
