Chapter 2329: The Recovery (2)
When she landed, the momentum caused her to spit another mouthful of blood. She looked around, but could only see an endless, desolate area of land filled with sand.
Mr. Zhu was standing right next to her. With a sigh of relief, he said, "That was close! If he caught up with us, he would probably have killed me."
Confused, Gu Xijiu asked hoarsely, "Why?"
Mr. Zhu sighed. "Well, when I went to see Yuanyuan, I had to take extreme measures to make her surrender the cure. I broke two of her ribs and made her spit some blood as well. Also, I might have cut her a little too deep with the Emei Sword. It was rather chaotic, I would say. When I left, I had carelessly alerted the guards at the door. I am sure that the Devil King is well aware of the mess by now. He cares for her very much that I can tell. When he notices how severely injured she is, he will definitely want to kill me. No other man can come into the bamboo garden, except for the Devil King. Sometimes, he will come and take a stroll in the garden. So, it must be him! Luckily, I got us here in time."
Gu Xijiu did not know what to say. Di Fuyi was not bothered about her injury but would rush his way into the garden all because Yuanyuan was bullied. Although she kept telling herself that she should not be mad at him, she could not stay calm any longer. Her entire being was filled with indignation. Irritated, she turned her head aside and spat out the remaining blood in her mouth.
Utterly shocked, Mr. Zhu quickly approached her and offered to check her pulse. "Why do you keep spitting out blood? Come; let me examine your condition. I need to know if the cure is working."
