A Blow
In one of the guest rooms of the Dragon Clan, several elders stood in the corner of the room, each carrying a medicinal fragrance on their backs. Su Liu 'er sat on the bed, her eyes devoid of any desire to live.
At the moment, she was still in her nine-tailed fox form. Her nine tails lay scattered on the ground, dripping with blood. The floor of the room was dyed a dark red.
Her aura was weak and her face pale.
Even so, she ignored the people in the room and refused to be treated.
The middle-aged man in front of her looked utterly embarrassed. His expression was somewhat anxious as he repeatedly tried to comfort her.
"Fox Emperor, please cooperate with our treatment. Your injuries can't be delayed."
"To save Yuan Hong," replied Su Liu 'er coolly, her head lowered.
"General Yuan, he …" the middle-aged man hesitated. At that moment, Su Liu 'er raised her head. Her pale, bloodless face was especially frightening, especially her eyes, which flashed with a bewitching blood-red color. "What happened to Yuan Hong? Tell me, what happened to Yuan Hong!?"
Everyone in the room fell silent.
"Are you trying to tell me that Yuan Hong is dead? Impossible! " Su Liu 'er raised her voice. "It's just a hole in the chest. A sky immortal's regenerative abilities aren't like a mortal's. He's just suffered a relatively serious injury. Your Dragon Clan boasts of being the strongest of the Beast Region's clans. Can't you heal him? "
In the face of Su Liu 'er's barrage of rebuttals and questions, Ren Jia remained silent.
"Fine, since you can't save him, I'll take him back to the Nine-tailed Fox Clan for treatment."
With that, Su Liu 'er climbed off the bed. However, due to her injuries, her steps were unsteady. As she walked, her blood flowed even faster.
"Fox Emperor, you can't leave." The middle-aged man, who'd remained silent until now, frowned and blocked Su Liu'er's path. "The Clan Head handed you over to us to treat your injuries," he said in an unquestionable tone. Besides, you can't move around in your current condition. Please cooperate with our treatment and don't make things difficult for us. "
"Get out of my way!" "You think you can stop me? Hurry up and get out of the way. Otherwise, don't blame me for attacking you in the Dragon Race."
Vaguely, Su Liu'er had already begun to build up her power.
The cyclone swirled around her, blowing her hair. She glared coldly at the middle-aged man in front of her, as if she would kill him if he dared to block her way.
However, the middle-aged man showed no signs of fear. He stood unwaveringly in front of Su Liu'er and stared into her eyes.
"Fox Emperor, you can't leave."
"Alright, then don't blame This Emperor for being impolite."
As she spoke, she prepared to attack. At that moment, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside, and Xia Keke and Ye Zichen walked in.
"Miss."
The middle-aged man bowed when he saw Xia Keke, then cupped his hands towards Ye Zichen.
"Emperor Ye."
Ye Zichen nodded calmly. The instant he entered the room, he'd already guessed most of it. He glanced at the middle-aged man, signaling him to step back, then walked over to Su Liu'er.
"Big Sister Liu'er."
When the domineering Su Liu'er saw Ye Zichen, her frosty face was suddenly suffused with a fragile, pitiable expression.
A stream of tears flowed down her cheeks, and she knelt to the ground.
"Big Sister Liu'er."
Ye Zichen hurried up to her. Su Liu'er looked up, tears streaming down her cheeks incessantly.
"Yuan Hong is dead."
No one would have the heart to feel pity for that fragile face. When Ye Zichen heard this, his heart trembled. Yuan Hong was dead. He couldn't help but recall the moment they'd first met. That carefree smile seemed just like yesterday.
Yuan Hong's death only served to highlight the tragedy of this war.
Ye Zichen clenched his fists, bit his lip, and reached out to wipe away Su Liu'er's tears.
"Big Sister Liu'er, don't overthink it. You still have Su Yan and Su Zhu, and us ….. "
"That's right, Big Sister Liu'er, you still have us," said Xia Keke.
"It's not the same." Su Liu'er knelt on the ground and shook her head repeatedly. "You're not the same as Yuan Hong. He's dead, and I don't want to live anymore."
"Big Sister Liu'er ….."
"Did you know? He's been chasing me since we were kids." Su Liu'er smiled wryly. She couldn't help but smile. "Back then, I was already the Empress of the Fox Clan, and he was just a little monkey. That year, he followed the Great Sage to the Fox Clan. From then on, he visited us every day. He's been that shameless ever since he was little ….. "
Su Liu 'er smiled as she recounted their past. Ye Zichen and everyone else in the room listened in silence.
Eventually, Su Liu'er let down her guard. Ye Zichen stood in front of her and smacked her on the neck, then sealed several of her acupoints.
"Big Sister Liu'er, I'm sorry."
Su Liu'er's eyes glazed over. Then she closed her eyes and collapsed to the ground.
Ye Zichen reached out and placed her on the bed, then turned to the dragons and said, "You must cure the Fox Emperor.
"I must cure the Fox Emperor. If I can't cure him, I will hold your Dragon Race responsible."
Ye Zichen left the room, stood in front of the door, and looked up at the vast Milky Way. Before long, Xia Keke walked out of her room and heard Ye Zichen sigh.
"Yuan Hong's death was a huge blow to Big Sister Liu'er."
"That's right, I've never seen her like this before," said Xia Keke with a frown. "Is Yuan Hong really dead?"
Ye Zichen nodded wordlessly. Before coming to Su Liu'er's room, he'd gone to Yuan Hong's.
There was no chance of him surviving.
"Then Big Sister Liu'er ….."
"I believe she'll be able to walk out of this trauma," laughed Ye Zichen. "Don't forget, she still has Su Yan and the others by her side, as well as you and me."
"Mm, I believe that too." Xia Keke nodded affirmatively. "Hurry up and get some rest. You've been taking care of so many people. In truth, your injuries aren't much worse than theirs."
"Mm, I really should get some rest. I'll have to trouble you with Su Yan."
"Alright."
They parted ways, and Ye Zichen returned to the residence the dragons had arranged for him. However, as soon as he pushed open the door, he sensed someone else inside.
"Who is it?"
Ye Zichen stood in the doorway and shouted. Before long, he saw Lil 'Tiantian walk out of the room. When he saw it was her, Ye Zichen smiled.
He walked towards Tiantian with a smile, only to see Tiantian's cute little face suddenly covered with frost.
