Chapter 229 - 229 Are You Courting Death?
229 Are You Courting Death?
As Yun Ran retreated, her back was bumped by the protruding rocks on the rockery. She frowned slightly and was about to change into a more comfortable position when she felt a large hand pressing against her back, cushioning her body from the rocks.
Yun Ran blinked, indicating that she was fine.
She wondered if he understood.
The two of them were still afflicted with the parasitic poison and could not be too close. Now, Yun Ran was almost nestled in his arms. Every breath she took was filled with the clean and cold aura coming from him.
As she got closer, Yun Ran’s temperature gradually rose. Her breathing and heartbeat were messed up, and her legs were weak. Even the small hand on his chest trembled slightly.
They were hiding in the rockery to avoid the people outside, so they definitely could not make any sound. She could only bite her lip to prevent herself from making a sound.
Mo Beiyuan could feel the woman’s trembling body in his arms. His heart suddenly ached, and he instinctively rubbed her into his arms.
Outside the rockery, footsteps gradually approached.
Yun Ran pricked up her ears and listened. She thought it was just a passing guard.
Unexpectedly, the footsteps stopped not far from them. Then, a woman’s voice sounded, “Brother Chengwang, why are you here? Is there news about the spiritual root?”
“Qingqing, I’m still looking for the spiritual root, but there’s no one else in the entire continent with a heaven-grade spiritual root. Can you change to a slightly lower spiritual root?”
Since the two of them had addressed each other, there was no need for Yun Ran to guess. It was Mo Chengwang and Yun Qingqing.
“But Yun Ran has a heaven-grade spiritual root. I don’t want to be inferior to her. Brother Wang, I know you treat me sincerely. Now, only you can help me.”
Yun Qingqing’s voice sounded again with an obvious coquettish tone. Mo Chengwang immediately coaxed her in a low voice.
“Of course, I treat you sincerely. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have captured Yun Ran back then to dig out her heart to treat your heart disease. Unfortunately, she ran away.”
If they hadn’t mentioned this, Yun Ran would have forgotten that she had yet to take revenge!
Could it be that Mo Chengwang thought that this matter was over?
Yun Qingqing coughed dryly.
“I know. She must be too cunning. I don’t blame you, Brother Chengwang. If you want to blame someone, blame my body for being disappointing. Ever since my spiritual root was snatched away, it has been getting worse and worse. Brother Cheng Wang, I’m afraid I won’t be able to live for long.”
As she spoke, she started sobbing.
At this moment, Yun Ran could only be forced to listen to the two of them speak ill of her in secret. It didn’t matter. She would remember it in her heart.
When Yun Qingqing cried, Mo Chengwang’s voice suddenly became higher. “No, I won’t let you die. I’ll send more people to find a heaven-grade spiritual root.”
“Yes, I know very well that you treat me the best. I heard that the young princess of the Yuan Mansion has a super heaven spiritual root. I wonder if it’s true.”
Was Yun Qingqing tired of living? She actually had designs on Sweetcake.
Yun Ran was controlling her urge to rush out and beat someone up when she felt that the person opposite her seemed to want to rush out.
With how much Mo Beiyuan doted on Sweetcake, these two people were probably courting death by secretly plotting against her!
