Qian Renshang trembled even more violently upon hearing Di Tian's description, his heart filled with a surging, overwhelming pain.
Each tremor seemed an outward reflection of his inner agony, his entire body shrouded in endless grief and indignation.
"Who, who on earth hurt her like this!"
Qian Renshang roared, his voice filled with boundless grief and rage. His roar seemed to pierce the clouds, reaching the heavens, carrying his overflowing anger and resentment.
His eyes were bloodshot with rage, burning with a fierce fire.
Di Tian remained silent, also pondering the conspiracy behind this battle.
He frowned deeply, his gaze profound and solemn, his thoughts racing.
The core of the Star Dou Great Forest was now shrouded in sorrow and anger.
The sorrow was as heavy as a gloomy haze, almost suffocating; the anger was as fiery as a flame, threatening to incinerate everything.
Qian Renshang looked at Gu Yuena with eyes full of heartache, his gaze filled with pity and pain, as if his heart were being torn apart.
His gaze was so gentle and affectionate, yet brimming with endless pain and helplessness.
He slowly reached out, wanting to touch Gu Yuena's scarred face, but stopped just before he touched her, as if afraid he would hurt her.
His hand trembled slightly in the air, hesitant to fall.
"Na'er, why were you so foolish?"
Qian Renshang's voice trembled, filled with deep self-reproach.
His voice was filled with self-blame, as if he believed he hadn't protected Gu Yuena well.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, trying to piece together the truth behind Gu Yuena's ordeal.
Each thought was like a sharp blade, piercing his heart.
"I think I know who you met."
Qian Renshang gritted his teeth, a resolute hatred flashing in his eyes.
He remembered Bibi Dong's ruthless methods and powerful strength; he already had the answer in his heart.
The hatred was so intense that it made his eyes cold and sharp.
"It must be her, that vicious woman!...It's one thing for you to target me, but you're targeting Nana... Bibi Dong!!"
Qian Renshang clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
His body trembled slightly with rage, like a volcano about to erupt.
He silently vowed in his heart:
"No matter the cost, I will make her pay a terrible price for what she did today!"
His vow echoed in his heart, firm and resolute.
The atmosphere around them grew increasingly heavy; Qian Renshang's rage seemed to burn the entire space.
His fury was intense and violent, making the surrounding air scorching and restless.
Beside him, Bi Ji's expression was grave. Looking at the unconscious Gu Yuena, she said worriedly,
"My lord's injuries are too severe this time. He may need rest and special treatment, and we don't know when he will wake up!"
Her voice was filled with deep worry, her eyes full of concern for Gu Yuena.
Every word seemed to weigh a ton, pressing down on everyone's hearts.
Hearing Bi Ji's words, Qian Renshang's body trembled violently, and the pain in his eyes deepened.
In that instant, he seemed to lose all his strength, plunging into even deeper despair.
Qian Renshang, expressionless, picked up Gu Yuena, his voice as cold as ice:
"I'll take responsibility for her injuries.
The way I awakened Nana back then will be the same this time."
His voice held no hesitation or wavering, only unwavering resolve.
His eyes were firm and resolute, as if nothing in the world could hinder his determination.
The beast kings silently watched Qian Renshang, none speaking, but they could all sense his unstable state of mind; he was on the verge of madness.
Their gazes were filled with worry and helplessness.
The air seemed to freeze, the heavy pressure making it hard to breathe.
"If Gu Yuena doesn't wake up, who knows what will become of Qian Renshang,"
One beast king couldn't help but sigh softly.
That sigh was exceptionally clear in the silent air, filled with uncertainty and worry about the future.
Qian Renshang, carrying Gu Yuena, strode away without looking back, leaving everyone with only a resolute back view.
His steps were firm and powerful, each step seemingly carrying endless anger and determination.
That figure stood alone yet resolute, as if bearing the weight of the entire world.
Back at their lodgings, Qian Renshang gently placed Gu Yuena on the bed, his movements as tender as if she were a fragile treasure.
Every action he took was filled with care and deep love.
He sat by the bed, holding Gu Yuena's hand tightly, his eyes filled with affection and worry.
"Na'er, you'll be alright, I won't let anything happen to you,"
Qian Renshang murmured, his voice trembling slightly.
That trembling was a manifestation of his inner fear; he was terrified of losing Gu Yuena.
The room was utterly silent, save for the heavy, rapid breathing of Qian Renshang, revealing his anxiety and unease.
"Nana, if you don't wake up this time…"
Qian Renshang's voice was low and resolute, echoing in the narrow tree hollow, carrying a chilling determination. His voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, filled with endless despair and a thirst for revenge.
His eyes held no trace of tenderness, replaced by boundless coldness and murderous intent.
That intense hatred seemed to materialize, freezing the surrounding air.
"I will make them all pay the price, even if it means becoming an enemy of everyone, even if it means falling into endless darkness, I will not hesitate,"
Qian Renshang said through gritted teeth, each word filled with power and resolve, sending chills down one's spine.
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into an avenger from hell, with only one thought in his mind: to avenge Gu Yuena.
The atmosphere in the tree hollow grew increasingly oppressive, as if foreshadowing a terrible storm to come.
*Swoosh! *
Qian Renshang took a deep breath, pricked his finger, and placed it to Gu Yuena's lips, beginning to feed her blood!
His eyes were firm and focused as drops of blood dripped into Gu Yuena's mouth, his heart filled with hope that it would help her injuries.
"Na'er, my blood might help you get better, it must work,"
Qian Renshang whispered, his voice trembling slightly.
However, Gu Yuena remained lying still, unresponsive.
Qian Renshang's heart sank further, but he did not give up, continuing to feed her blood.
Time slowly passed, and Qian Renshang's face gradually paled, but his movements did not falter.
"As long as it can save you, what does it matter if I bleed my last drop?"
Qian Renshang murmured to himself.
Just then, Gu Yuena frowned slightly, and Qian Renshang's spirits instantly lifted.
Could it really be possible?
A spark of hope ignited in his heart.
Meanwhile!
After the two left, Di Tian suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, shocking the beast kings.
"Di Tian, what happened to you?"
Bi Ji asked anxiously. Her voice was filled with panic and worry.
Di Tian's face was pale, and his breathing became erratic.
"I was also seriously injured in that battle, but I've been holding on,"
Di Tian said weakly.
His voice was extremely faint, as if he might disappear at any moment.
The beast kings exchanged worried glances. "Quickly heal Lord Di Tian!"
Xiong Jun shouted. His voice was filled with anxiety and concern.
Everyone sprang into action, some taking out precious pills, others using healing soul techniques.
In an instant, various lights flashed, and soul power surged.
Di Tian waved his hand.
"I'm fine, I just need some time to recuperate.
The Lord's situation has thrown Qian Renshang into disarray; we must be prepared for anything."
His voice, though weak, was filled with determination and resolve.
"This time, humans have made me suffer so much, even the Crimson King lost his life because of it… These humans must pay the price!"
Di Tian's eyes were filled with anger and hatred.
"Pass on my order: unleash the beast tide!"
Di Tian roared, his expression ferocious. He wanted revenge for the Crimson King, for Gu Yuena, and for Qian Renshang!
Only the blood of those humans could atone for their hatred!
His voice echoed in the air, carrying boundless killing intent and resolve.
