Chapter 288 - 192: Redemption of the Maiden, Demigod Emerges
"Wooo~"
The sound of sobs and cries, desperately subdued, echoed in the dark corner. Yet this cry, which might evoke sympathy in others, invited not comfort but ridicule.
"Tears are the most useless things in the world. They only show your weakness and incompetence, making you easy prey for your enemies!"
"What do you know? You understand nothing!"
The girl, with traces of tears still on her face, angrily lifted her head to look at the dark-haired boy on her bed, who was mocking her.
He was a cripple who had lost both arms, with large patches of blood scabs and carbon black left by flames, looking shocking.
Anyone who saw him would wonder, upon first sight of his injuries, how he managed to survive?
What incredible resilience and willpower must one have to keep the soul clinging to such a ravaged body, struggling for survival.
The girl hesitated for a long time when she decided to bring the boy home, having not wanted to bring back a corpse. But after observing him for a while, she noticed his once weak breathing became steady, his vital signs visibly stabilizing.
Then, gritting her teeth, she carried the boy back, unsurprisingly garnering a lot of ridicule and mockery for bringing back someone useless, except for eating.
His arms were fractured, and though his legs remained, even an experienced hunter, after examining him, could only shake his head repeatedly, deeming the boy as mere breathing meat lying on the bed.
