Chapter 335: Calling to Him Intimately
After Chuling mentioned this, Luo Yunzhu remembered it as well. “It wasn’t like that at first. It only started after Tianlan’s back was injured, then all those vines turned on Tianlan at the same time. For a moment, I thought they were going to listen to her orders.”
“The others thought that the vines were all against Boss. They took the chance to run, leaving her to die like that.” Zhang Tiancheng started feeling hateful when he thought about what had happened. Even though they weren’t obliged to save her, they were all students from the same academy. Instead, they’d just fled and hadn’t even tried to help. Just thinking about it made Zhang Tiancheng’s heart grow cold.
“They weren’t required to help me. Then again, it’s not like they could have been any help, either,” Feng Tianlan said calmly. Even though her personality was quite different from how she had been in her previous life, she still held onto the softest part of her heart. That’s what her parents in her last life had taught her, and she must not forget her original motivation.
“That vine that hurt Master thickened instantly, and they were all going after her blood.” Azurite still sounded guilty. Those vines obviously hadn’t been Spirit Severing Vines. She had made a mistake in her judgment and landed her Master in this horrible predicament.
Luo Yunzhu and the others understood now. Luo Yunzhu looked at Tianlan’s hand, which was still bandaged, and said, “So, that’s what happened. No wonder everything was useless even after we all bled so much. Those vines are picky eaters, huh? You should have said so earlier, then I wouldn’t have cut myself. I nearly chopped my hand off.”
Thinking about it now, she wondered where she’d found the courage to cut herself so deeply. She hadn’t even felt the pain then, but now it was really killing her.
Feng Tianlan looked down and thought about how her friends had sliced themselves open to save her without hesitation. A warm feeling flowed through her heart, making her feel warm and fuzzy inside. Compared to her last life, she was much more blessed this time around.
“Azurite, do you know what this is now?” Feng Tianlan remembered their affection for her. She would return it a hundred or even a thousand times over because they were worth it.
Azurite shook her head. “I thought that it was a Spirit Severing Vine, but it actually it wasn’t. This plant is not anywhere in my memory. If Master reaches a sufficient level, perhaps I will be able to find out.”
This thing was too similar to a Spirit Severing Vine, except that a Spirit Severing Vine was not supposed to have flowers. Her error in judgment had nearly cost Master’s life.
Luo Yunzhu was confused by Azurite’s words. “Shouldn’t you be able to figure this out from a book? What has it got to do with Tianlan’s skill level?”
Azurite lowered her head. She was only a pill scroll and needed her Master to turn the pages to fill her memories.
“Si Mobai.” Feng Tianlan lifted her head to look at Si Mobai, who had been silent all this time.
Si Mobai raised an eyebrow slightly and responded in a somewhat unhappy tone, “Hmm?”
“Mobai.” Feng Tianlan quickly changed her form of address, and a blush appeared on her face. “I’m really alright. I don’t have to leave. Besides, I want to stay and see who wants me dead so badly that they used such hardcore weapons against me.”
Besides Big Brother Jin and Jiang Ying, this was the first time she’d called out to a man so intimately. It made her feel shy.
Si Mobai looked Feng Tianlan up and down and finally nodded after a long while. “Alright, then.”
He was still going to prepare to head for the Xuantian Continent. It didn’t matter if he drew his enemy’s attention; he couldn’t let Lan’er stay here and be in danger.
This strange mystery of how the vine had grown around her heart was difficult to explain. The world was just so mysterious. They could only pray that this vine was a blessing and didn’t come with any hidden strings.
On a mountaintop far away, Qi Shujie hugged Tu Xiupei from behind. The pair stood on the edge of a cliff and looked toward where Feng Tianlan was. “Pei’er, I think she’s dead by now. Let’s go over and see. Perhaps we can still find her bones.”
