"You..." I gritted my teeth in anger. This guy must be doing it on purpose. He knew the twelve hours were up and deliberately said that, making me underestimate the situation and giving him a good reputation.
"Lawyer Yan, you can run but you can't hide. I don't believe you won't return to the mortal world. Just wait, I will definitely..." Before I could finish shouting at the swaying image, in the blink of an eye, the auction in front of me disappeared in the distorted space-time.
Gradually, everything in front of my eyes became blurry, and it sounded like someone was shouting, "Miss Yuan has come back to life, Miss Yuan has come back to life."
Why does this voice sound so much like Mr. Tao? Before I could listen carefully, my sea of knowledge suddenly became a bit turbulent. It started off mild, but gradually evolved into a feeling of earth-shattering upheaval. At this moment, it felt like my head was about to explode, as if something hard was being forced into it.
It took me a long time to recover, and the things in front of me began to clear up. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the room where I stayed at Mount Maoshan. The person in front of me was indeed the Pottery Sect Leader, holding something like a bell in his hand and muttering something about bringing back the soul. Seeing this, I became angry and said, "Mr. Tao, stop muttering. Even if you shout until your throat is hoarse, I won't come back in less than twelve hours."
"Miss Yuan, you finally woke up. Fortunately, I didn't break my promise, so I saved your life." I couldn't believe it. After I said that, this guy had the audacity to claim that he saved my life.
"Mr. Tao, are you sure it's because of you that I came back?" I angrily questioned again, trying to sit up, but I found myself completely weak and powerless, as if I had just done an extreme workout and couldn't even move a finger now.
"Cough cough... At least I allowed Miss Yuan to return to life one second earlier, which shows that I didn't waste my efforts," I questioned repeatedly, and even though Pottery Sect Leader had a thick skin, his face turned red and he tried to justify himself.
If he hadn't said that, it would have been better. As soon as I heard it, everything went black before my eyes, and I was so angry that I fainted on the spot. One second earlier? How could he control the timing like that? It just happened to make me miss the thing that could have saved my life. Not being killed by him, I guess I'm lucky after all.
I don't know how long it has been, but when I woke up again, taoshi was sitting beside me. His handsome and sunny face was full of worry. It seems that Mr. Tao has some self-awareness, knowing that he is not welcome, so he let his son come to take care of me.
"Miss Yuan, you're awake. Are you feeling better?" taoshi asked with concern when he saw me wake up.
"I'm fine, thank you for having Dark Dragon protect me and for giving me that unlimited credit card. By the way, I withdrew two hundred thousand from that card. I'll repay you when I have the money," I said weakly. I was already exhausted, and after feeling dizzy just now, I was even more drained. Now, even speaking made me breathless.
"Miss Yuan, don't talk for now. You're so weak, you should rest. I'll go check if the medicine is ready," taoshi said. Seeing how weak I was, he didn't bother with formalities or saying that I didn't need to repay the money. Instead, he just told me to rest. But I could tell from his sincere expression that he was afraid I would speak more, so he deliberately skipped over it.
In order to not worry taoshi, I nodded slightly and closed my eyes again, pretending to rest.
After taoshi saw that I was settled, he pulled the blanket for me before leaving. Once he was gone, I opened my eyes again, slowly pulled back the covers, and tried to prop up my head to see how the wound in my chest was doing. It was too deep from being stabbed by the hair, it couldn't have healed in just one day.
However, what surprises me is that my wound doesn't hurt, and there doesn't seem to be anything bandaged on my body.
I don't know when my clothes were changed, but it's a white nightgown. I lift the collar and look at my chest, where there is now only a red scar, like the appearance of a newly healed cut.
Huh! How did it heal so quickly? The red mark looks very smooth, as if there are no signs of stitching. Suddenly, I felt a chill in my chest. I realized that the Maoshan School Fanning Seal that was still hanging around my neck was emitting a faint light. The light was shining directly on the wound on my chest, and under this sacred white light, I felt a cool sensation coming from the wound.
Could this be the legendary Fanning Seal protecting its master? I was speechless and almost cried. It's not as reliable as the blood sea I casually absorbed, at least that one could actually save my life. It just cost me half of my blood, which I find a bit hard to bear.
Oh, now I finally understand why I'm so weak. I've lost half of my blood. How can I not be weak? How much do I need to eat to make up for it? I lamented in my heart.
But this Mr. Tao really deserves a scolding. You old man, first you slipped away when my life was in danger, and now you've ruined my good fortune. Just as I was about to get the life insurance money that could save me, you forcibly brought me back to life a second earlier, causing me to miss the chance. Just wait, when I see you again, I will definitely scold you thoroughly. Ugh! Why not hit him? Because if I hit him, I can't beat him. So I can only take advantage of him verbally with a good sense of self-awareness. Sigh! It's hard to be a person, and it's even harder to be a woman without magical powers. I urgently want to learn magic in my heart.
Cao Chao arrived as soon as I mentioned him. I had just finished organizing my clothes when Pottery Sect Leader pushed the door open and entered. Without waiting for me to speak, he quickly bowed and said, "Miss Yuan, you truly bring good luck. I forgot to thank you earlier for helping me capture the fierce ghost. On behalf of Mount Maoshan, I express our deepest gratitude for your great kindness. Your matters will be taken care of by me. Even if it costs me my life, I will ensure your safety."
If I had the strength, even if I knew I couldn't win, I would want to kick this bastard in the face. His face just looked like it was asking for a beating. Unfortunately, I had just used up my energy examining my wound, and now I didn't even have the strength to move my fingers. All I could do was glare fiercely at Pottery hand and try to kill him with my eyes.
"Don't look at me like that. When I was taking you there, I already cast a divination. It was the Ji Tai hexagram, which means extreme adversity turning into good fortune." Pottery Sect Leader explained hastily when he saw me glaring at him with such ferocity.
Seeing this, I was too weak to speak, too weak to get up, and could only close my eyes in frustration, pretending not to see this guy.
I didn't expect that when I did this, the Pottery Sect Leader thought I had fainted again and hurriedly said, "Miss Yuan, are you okay? You didn't faint again, did you? Wake up quickly. Actually, I came this time to tell you some good news. In order to repay your kindness to our Maoshan School, I have reluctantly decided to let my son marry you."
"No need for your fake kindness. Who knows what wicked idea you, old man, are up to again. Alright, you have nothing to do with me. You can leave. I will figure out a way to save my life on my own." Originally, I had no strength to speak at all, but being provoked by this shameless talk from this guy gave me a bit of energy again. It seems that the anger value in the game is not made up.
"Miss Yuan, you don't appreciate kindness. I just told you that I've read your fortune and it says you will be safe. How can you, a young girl, be so ungrateful?" Pottery Sect Leader couldn't bear the embarrassment and angrily scolded me.
"Yes, I am ungrateful. You can leave, and I don't want to be your daughter-in-law. Even if it costs me my life, I won't marry you. Hmph." I shouted at Pottery Sect Leader with even more hostility.
However, unexpectedly, as I roared, I suddenly felt my strength returning gradually. It seemed like I could even sit up, but in order to prevent exhausting myself again, I thought it would be better not to move for now. I'll wait until I've accumulated more strength.
My words once again successfully infuriated the Pottery Sect Leader. His beard stood up high, and with a flick of his sleeve, he seemed like he wanted to leave. But for some reason, he turned back again, pointed at me, gritted his teeth, and said, "Even if you don't want to marry, you have to. Tonight is the wedding day for you and my son. It is your destiny." Without waiting for my response, he strode out.
Fate, what does it mean? I didn't expect Pottery Sect Leader to say this in the end. I was immediately confused. Could it be that my fate can still be determined by Pottery hand, or was he just angry and said this on purpose to make me marry his son? When I become his daughter-in-law, he will have the chance to retaliate against me.
No, I will not do as he wishes. If you want me to marry, I won't. Anyway, if it's dangerous, I can just blow the whistle of the smart aleck and let smart aleck help me find a way to save myself. smart aleck is known as the all-knowing, there must be other ways to save me.
However, as soon as my thoughts emerged, I saw taoshi standing outside the door with a hurt expression on his face. This made me feel very uncomfortable inside, and I moved my lips, only to find that I didn't know what to say.
taoshi spoke first: "Miss Yuan, am I so detestable to you? Do you really not want to marry me?" Without waiting for my response, he brought the medicine over and fed it to me spoonful by spoonful.
Feeling the bitterness of this Chinese medicine, I couldn't help but think, in this 21st century, how could I still be drinking Chinese medicine when I'm injured? It feels like I've traveled back in time. But when I met taoshi's injured eyes, I realized my mind had wandered again. So I quickly pretended to be affected by the bitterness, turned my head away, and tried to think of something to say.
After thinking it over, I felt that anything I said would hurt him. In the end, I could only awkwardly say, "taoshi, I didn't mean it that way. Actually, I intentionally angered your father to say that. My true intention was to marry you."
"Really? So, you're agreeing, we'll get married tonight." I didn't expect that as soon as I finished speaking, taoshi immediately lit up and said.
Uh! I suddenly felt like I had bitten my tongue, but after thinking about it, it's not a bad idea to marry taoshi. It's a good way to get rid of Shen Chen's entanglement, and life will be settled.
Besides, taoshi is handsome, gentle, attentive, and most importantly, he treats me really well. I believe he will also treat my mother and son well. As for Pottery Sect Leader, I will just treat him as invisible from now on, avoid meeting him as much as possible. After thinking it through, I nodded solemnly to indicate my agreement.
With my approval, taoshi was beaming with joy. However, suddenly I thought of a problem: why is Dark Dragon his spiritual pet, and why did it ambush me when I came to Mount Maoshan? If it weren't for Arrogant, I might not even have any ashes left now.
