By the time Little Sparrow had burned off all the rotten flesh, An Lei's entire palm was only left with white bones.
Sima Youyue took out some ointment and applied it for her, saying, "This is also a free gift. This is an elixir that can bring the dead back to life. "
"Thank you," An Lei said.
After the ointment was applied, Sima Youyue took out a bandage and carefully wrapped her bony fingers.
"Why do I feel that they don't care about you that much?" She tied a beautiful bow on the back of her hand.
"They … are still very nice." An Lei wanted to say something but stopped.
"Why do they hate you so much?" Sima Youyue asked, "I noticed along the way that they are very against you. Only the maidservant that you helped has a slightly better relationship with you. Why is that? "
An Lei's lips curled into a bitter smile. "Some people are born to be despised by others."
"There is usually only one reason for a woman to exclude another woman, and that is jealousy." Sima Youyue said, "It's either beauty or talent. I think with your looks, it's impossible for you to be jealous of beauty. Then is that the second reason? "
An Lei shook her head and said, "There's another reason."
"What reason?" Sima Youyue sat opposite her, holding her chin with both hands and looking at her curiously.
"Otherworldlings."
"Oh?" Sima Youyue became even more curious. She looked up and down for a while and said, "I don't see any difference!"
An Lei smiled bitterly and did not say anything else.
"Since they all hate you so much, why don't you leave the Donglai Family?"
"With the personality of the Donglai Family, they won't tolerate traitors. There's only one way to leave, and that's to die. "An Lei looked into the distance, a little lost.
She wanted to leave, but she didn't want to die. She wanted to live, to live well. This was what she promised her mother before she died.
Sima Youyue looked at her and was a little moved.
"If I ask you to leave the Donglai Family with me, would you be willing?" she asked.
"What?" An Lei heard her words and could not react for a moment.
"I said, if I go to your lady and ask for you, would you be willing to leave the Donglai Family and follow me?" Sima Youyue asked.
"Why? You don't like the Donglai Family. "An Lei looked at her warily.
"Indeed, I don't like your lady. She's too arrogant and self-willed, and she's inexplicably hostile to me. As for me, although I come from a small place, I don't need to suck up to her. "Sima Youyue did not mind complaining about Donglai Li in front of An Lei at all.
"Then why do you …"
"Well, one reason is that I like you more. At least you haven't rolled your eyes at me. As for the other reason, it's because of me. I can't tell you, "Sima Youyue said. With a servant girl from the Hidden Clan by his side, she might be able to know more about the Hidden Clan.
An Lei looked at her with some surprise. She was really straightforward with her words.
"You have a few minutes to think about it." Sima Youyue said, "If you don't agree when you go back, then I'll pretend I didn't say anything."
"Miss won't agree," An Lei said.
"You don't need to worry about that," Sima Youyue said. "However, I have a condition. If you follow me, I want your absolute loyalty. I want you to swear an oath. "
After saying that, she did not look at An Lei's shocked eyes, stood up and said, "Think about it."
She and An Lei had not known each other for a long time, and she did not want to keep a ticking time bomb by her side. An oath was the best restraint.
An Lei lowered her head, and her mind was in turmoil.
Did she agree or disagree?
Sima Youyue did not disturb her, and talked to Wu Lingyu about other things.
When Wu Lingyu heard that she wanted to take An Lei, he was not surprised. Or rather, he would not be surprised no matter what she did, because no matter what she did, he would support her.
In the distance, the Xuanqiu and Donglai clans stopped. The corpses on the ground were still the same, and no one dared to touch them.
After a while, Sima Youyue took out a second elixir and gave it to An Lei, saying, "Eat this. You'll be fine after taking some medicine to heal your wounds. "
An Lei took the elixir and swallowed it, saying, "Thank you."
"Have you thought about it?" Sima Youyue asked. Seeing that she was still a little hesitant, she said, "You only have one chance. Whether or not you can change your fate depends on whether you dare to take the risk!"
Hearing this, An Lei was instantly enlightened. If there was only one chance to change her fate, she would definitely not let it go!
If there was really no good ending in the end, would it be worse than it was now?
Even if she were to die, her mother wouldn't be her, right?
"I'll follow you." She looked at Sima Youyue, "But if I want to do something, you have to give me freedom."
"I never tied you to me anyway." Sima Youyue stood up, "Let's go back. You don't have to say anything when we go back, just leave it to me. "
An Lei followed behind them, feeling uneasy. If she could not convince the Miss, her future in the Donglai clan might be even worse.
Donglai Li and Xuanqiu He were talking, while the others surrounded the corpses and pointed at them, but did not dare to touch them.
"They're back."
Everyone's eyes fell on An Lei's hand, which was wrapped in bandages. They did not know what the hand looked like, but they could not feel the aura of death on it.
"Miss." An Lei bowed to Donglai Li and retreated to the side.
"Youyue, you've worked hard." Xuanqiu He looked in her direction and smiled.
"Although I'm a little tired, I'm okay," Sima Youyue said. Sima Youyue said, "Miss Donglai, I've already treated this person for you. Can we settle the bill now?"
"You've really treated her?" Shui'er did not believe it.
"If you don't believe me, you can take off her bandages and check for yourself!" Sima Youyue did not care.
Most people would not check if she said that, but Shui'er did not hesitate to take off An Lei's bandages.
"Ah!"
Seeing the palm that was only left with white bones, she screamed in fear and quickly took two steps back.
That palm was exposed in front of everyone just like that.
"How did it become like this?" Donglai Li turned her head away in disgust, not wanting to take another look.
"The aura of death has corroded her flesh. It's already very good that her bones are still intact." Sima Youyue said, "You don't have to worry. This hand is not incurable. As long as you are willing to spend money and get some good elixirs that can regenerate flesh and bones, it can be recovered. I estimate that it will only cost another three to five hundred thousand. "
Another three to five hundred thousand? Together with the seven hundred thousand, it would be one million!
Was a maid worth one million top-grade crystals?
The answer was definitely no!
Because of some reasons, she could not deal with An Lei, but she did not want to see a skeletal hand dangling in front of her!
She was such a perfect person, how could she have such a person by her side?!
