Chapter 5: The City Lord's Son Strives (4)
At that moment, the dark horse of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, Su Chen, lay motionless on the bed.
Pain… excruciating pain everywhere!
Su Chen felt as though his body had been shattered and barely held together. Every inch of skin burned as if sliced open by countless knives.
A thousand cuts, ten thousand slashes.
Wang Bailu, Li Ming, and the familiar faces of Soaring Clouds Martial Academy surrounded him, all watching with tense concern.
Wang Bailu leaned against the windowsill, clutching Su Chen's hand tightly. Tiny tears rolled from her eyes one after another, soaking the bedding.
Truly, women were made of water.
Despite the agony, Su Chen forced a reassuring smile. "I'm fine now. I'm awake."
No one believed him. His face remained deathly pale, and their expressions showed deep doubt.
