The two people running in the forest were none other than Si Mobai and herself!
Feng Tianlan’s heart fell into her stomach. Si Mobai was losing momentum and had to land. She wrapped her arms around his waist tightly, terrified of what awaited. She croaked weakly, “Si Mobai.”
“Lan’er.” Si Mobai slowly descended to the ground with his lover in his arms. Seeing how terrified Feng Tianlan was wrenched his heart, as if it were nothing but a rag being wrung out.
Her reddened eyes fixed on Si Mobai’s devilishly handsome face. She pushed him away and complained, “Why didn’t you stop? I begged and begged! Why didn’t you stop? Didn’t you promise to listen to me about everything? Why did you go back on your word this time?
“Didn’t you say that you would be my Heaven and my Earth, and let me be no matter how crazy I am? Why….” Tears were rolling down Feng Tianlan’s cheeks before she could even finish her words. She hugged Si Mobai’s tightly and uttered, “Si Mobai…You are a liar.”
Luo Yunzhu and the rest were lying on the ground gasping for breath. All were shocked speechless by what they saw,
“Tianlan, what’s going on?” Luo Yunzhu tried to stand but then fell back to the ground. It was her third attempt at standing up, so she finally submitted to fate and went back to lying on the ground.
However, the way Feng Tianlan as reaching was quite distressing. It was as if the Wargod had died.
“Miss,” Chuling groaned. She laid on the ground, unable to move a muscle.
“Boss!” Zhang Tiancheng called out weakly. He had suffered the gravest injuries of them all. It was hard for him to make out a single word.
Lin Suyin was lying under a tree. She was fine. However, the color had drained from her already pale face. Her almond-shaped eyes could not register what she had just witnessed.
The Wargod, who had shunned women all his life, was now holding Feng Tianlan in his arms!
His eyes were filled with admiration and love. Feng Tianlan was the apple of his eye.
Lin Suyin grew green with envy and red with jealousy. All of this madness was driving her insane.
Why did it have to be Feng Tianlan? Why couldn’t it be someone else?
Si Mobai held Feng Tianlan closer to his chest and whispered, “Lan’er, I’m sorry.”
Before, Si Mobai had been preoccupied with the thought of delivering his lover to safety before he ran out of energy. Never had he expected to make Feng Tianlan react so negatively. This was all his fault. He was the one who was making her cry.
Hearing everyone’s concerned questions, Feng Tianlan gradually pulled out of her fear and came back to reality. She scanned the room. All of her friends were half-dead, sprawled on the ground. She lifted her eyes and saw Si Mobai. Clarity slowly returned.
His gorgeous face was now as pale as a sheet. He was shaking, and a drop of his cold sweat dripped from his horn onto the ground. Everything was so surreal. It felt as if Feng Tianlan had slipped into another dream.
She touched the beads of sweat trickling down Si Mobai’s face and tasted it. It was salty, not metallic, like blood. No, this was not her dream, and he was going to be fine.
“Mobai.”
Feng Tianlan suddenly collapsed in his arms, and Si Mobai’s heart immediately leaped to his throat. He quickly caught her and exclaimed, “Lan’er!”
Feng Tianlan’s sudden collapse shocked her whole team, who had scrambled to get up but failed terribly.
When Si Mobai laid Feng Tianlan on the ground, he saw a deep wound cutting across her left palm to her wrist. The muscle underneath her skin could be seen. Si Mobai’s breathing became heavier, and the air weighed like lead. He was appalled at the extent of Tianlan’s injuries. He dropped everything and started to treat her wound.
“Your Highness, Tianlan received that wound when she drew phoenixes with her blood in an attempt to save you. However, she was no match for the Ice Phoenix. And thus…”
Hearing how Feng Tianlan came to be hurt this, Si Mobai was even more torn than ever. Hadn’t she declared that she didn’t like him? Why would she lay down her life for a man she didn’t love?
After a round of cleaning and dressing her wound, Si Mobai covered Feng Tianlan with his cape. He held her snugly in his arms. He placed a kiss on her forehead and whispered so that only she could hear, “Lan’er, you have released me from my seal.”
