Chapter 147: Risking One Life to Save Another (1/2)
Bai Luochu could hear the sword qi as it pierced through her body. However, it didn’t feel as painful as she thought. Bai Luochu became suspicious and her eyes snapped open. The scene in front of her caused her to turn pale with fright.
Pei Qingfeng stood in front of her as a bright red flower blossomed in front of his chest. Lu Wenshu’s sword qi was extremely strong and when it entered Pei Qingfeng’s body, it damaged a majority of his organs.
Pei Qingfeng had been standing at the edge of the battlefield with his eyes glued onto Bai Luochu. When he saw that she wasn’t able to dodge Lu Wenshu’s attack, he disregarded the fact that he was a cripple as he slammed his palm onto the armrest of his wheelchair. He used the force to fly in front of Bai Luochu, just before the sword qi struck her.
Pei Qingfeng had achieved what he wanted to do. When Bai Luochu helped Pei Qingfeng to treat his legs previously, she sealed off a portion of the meridians in his legs. Right now, Pei Qingfeng had used his spirit qi to forcefully open up the blocked meridians, causing some internal injuries. The moment Lu Wenshu’s attack struck him, he vomited a mouthful of blood. Without a doubt, this was the closest Pei Qingfeng had been to the gates of hell.
Pei Qingfeng lost all strength and collapsed into Bai Luochu’s arms.
The thick stench of blood filled Bai Luochu’s nasal cavity and her clothes turned red due to the blood gushing out from Pei Qingfeng’s wound. Bai Luochu wasn’t able to support Pei Qingfeng’s body and she reached out to hug him in order to prevent him from sliding to the ground.
The moment her hands touched his body, she felt a sticky liquid sticking to her skin. It was clear that her hands were filled with Pei Qingfeng’s blood. It’s so warm...
“Pei Qingfeng, wake up! Don’t you want to make fun of me? Say something!” When Bai Luochu saw how Pei Qingfeng sacrificed himself because of her, a feeling of guilt and fear filled her heart.
That’s right, Bai Luochu was afraid. Not because Pei Qingfeng was a prince and his death would infuriate the imperial clan. She was afraid because she didn’t want to see anyone else die because of her. Too many people died because of her… the temple’s disciples, her guards… she caused the deaths of too many people and in this life, she didn’t want anyone to die because of her.
Bai Luochu sat there as she hugged Pei Qingfeng. She stared into space and didn’t know what to say.
Because of the sudden change in events, everyone became silent. Feng Wan’er was panicking as well as the person who had suffered grievous injuries was the second prince of the Cloud Water Nation. He was also Pei Wuchen’s imperial brother! If the imperial family were to investigate the matter, she would be dragged down as well. It would definitely affect the engagement between Pei Wuchen and herself.
