"Zhuge Feng, how are you holding up?"
As another mouthful of blood spewed from Zhuge Feng's mouth, he struggled to see who had come. Upon recognizing the figure, his heart stirred with a complex mix of excitement and worry. She had finally arrived, albeit a bit late. That's for the best, as it means she won't get hurt.
"Quick—leave! It's dangerous here."
Zhuge Feng felt an unbearable, suffocating pain in his chest once more as his breathing grew labored again.
"Zhuge Feng, you must hold on," Shangguan You commanded, her expression colder than ever before. She didn't understand why the water suddenly seemed alive and so drawn to the scent of blood. But he was one of hers, and she would not allow anything to harm him—not even this inexplicable water.
Shangguan You quickly took out several Jade Dew Pills and fed them to Zhuge Feng, but before he could swallow, they were sprayed back out with the blood from his mouth. They had no effect.
