Chapter 114 (2/2)
“Thank you,” Summer thanked Ben with relief, seeing Claire turn more and more pale.
“It’s best if I hold you so you don’t throw up on my back.” Ben swiped Summer with one claw.
“Ahh! You damned uncultured dragon!” Summer yelled in fear, but was unable to break out of his clutches.
Once everybody was seated on Ben’s black and Black Feather also flew and landed on Jean’s shoulder, Ben started flapping his wings, soaring through the sky. Accompanied with Summer’s screams, the group left. Summer screamed the entire time and ended up vomiting continuously. Although it had been very urgent when they had escaped on Ben’s back, Summer didn’t vomit at all, but now, she vomited uncontrollably.
Ben flew very quickly. Under Li Yuewen’s directions, in order to avoid starting a panic, they ended up landing outside Lagark’s capital. The city gates were shut tightly, but once Li Yuewen and Li Mingyu revealed their identities, the small captain guarding ended up opening the gates. Although the Li clan had declined quite a bit, they were still one of the four major clans. Small figures such as he could not afford to offend such powerful people.
Jean’s expression became more and more dark because now, Claire had completely passed out! Her tightly knit brows indicated that currently, she was suffering an unimaginable amount of pain.
The group hurried through the streets. The east was already started to lighten. The sky was about to turn bright.
Li Yuewen and Li Mingyu led the group to an ancient and wide residence.
Two young men were guarding at the door. When they saw the two siblings, their eyes lit up with joy.
“Young Master, Second Miss, you have returned! Those old fools keep on trying to make things difficult for us every day,” One of the young men said happily to Li Mingyu.
“Mm. Let’s talk later. I will deal with them. Right now, my friend needs rest.” Li Yuewen waved gestured impatiently.
Two two’s gazes landed on Claire who was in Jean’s embrace with a little bit of shock. Friend? It was the first time they had ever heard Second Miss say this word! The cold, arrogant Second Miss actually had friends? Were all these people her friends? She actually brought back so many people at once?
Li Yuewen didn’t waste any time on words, leading everybody away. Everybody followed closely.
The two young men stood in place, watching the group disappear. They glanced at each other, both seeing surprise and joy, and also hope.
“Did you hear that? Second Miss actually said she had a friend?!”
“I did! I even thought I heard wrong, but the Second Miss truly did say that. Also, Second Miss seemed very worried for that young lady.”
“Did you notice that there were quite a few experts among them? Is it to help Master and Second Miss?”
“I hope so. Ah! I forget to ask Master and Second Miss how their journey went.”
“They must have been successful. Those old fools are always thinking of ways to force Master off his position of Patriarch. Humph! A group of ignorant old fools.”
Soon, Claire was settled on a large, warm bed, caring expressions surrounding her. Leng Lingyun sat at the side of the bed, examining Claire. Everybody’s worried and hopeful gazes watched Leng Lingyun, hoping Leng Lingyun would say something to ease their hearts.
“There are two powerful forces battling within Claire’s body, which is what is causing Claire pain.” Leng Lingyun frowned.
“What?!” Everybody cried out in alarm. They understood that the two powers were the two magic beasts fighting over the contract. A person could only contract one beast! Claire’s body was now a battlefield?!
“What do we do now? Kill that black ball bastard? What exactly is this black ball anyways?” Walter asked a bit anxiously. He stared venomously at the black ball crouched next to Claire’s bed.
“No, otherwise Claire will be in danger.” Leng Lingyun shook his head, his expression severe.
“Then what do we do? Is there nothing we can do now?” Walter asked angrily.
“We can only wait.” Leng Lingyun looked at Claire’s pale face and said helplessly, “The only thing we can do now is wait. Wait for one of the two magic beast’s power to overpower the other.”
“Then isn’t Claire in great danger?!” Li Yuewen asked anxiously.
“Just wait. I believe in Claire. She will be fine,” Camille said softly.
Qiao Chuxin was crouching next to the bed. She grasped Claire’s hand tightly, her voice resolute. “Right, Claire will be fine. She will definitely be fine!”
“Won’t die. If die, nobody give food.” Dong Fenghou’s unclear voice came. After he said this, everybody looked at him coldly. He stared back blankly, not understanding what he had done wrong.
