Chapter 69- Beastmen (10)

The expected pain did not come, and the sound of wailing entered her ears instead. Suddenly, her body was embraced by familiar arms.

Although she couldn’t feel any pain, the excessive blood loss made her drowsy and she could barely open her eyes. With great effort, she looked up into the eyes of Chi Wenyan’s anxious face.

“Anran, Anran, stay awake!” Chi Wenyan gently shook Gu Anran, as any violent movement might aggravate Gu Anna’s injuries even more.

Gu Anran’s originally snow-white fur was now dirty and dark with blood. One could tell what a terrible state she was in.

And Gu Anran’s current state made Chi Wenyan tremble in both anxiety and anger. She wished she could join Gu Bing, Hong Yan and Mu Yu in beating up the perpetrators.

When they had first learned without a shadow of doubt that Gu Anran was here, they told Mu Qingli and the others to stay put while they made their way over here as fast as possible.

However, when they found her, they arrived to see this scene.

Gu Anran’s body was curled up into a small ball, and none of them knew if she was alive or dead while the violent beastmen pounced towards her with bloodlust in their eyes.

In an instant, Gu Bing, Hong Yan, and Mu Yu rushed forward and kicked the beastmen who tried to attack the little beast. The attackers flew into the rocks behind them and several of them had their spines directly shattered and died on the spot. Those who hadn’t died were then subjugated to a fury of fists.

Due to their large movements over here, many of the beastmen in the nearby carnival hurried over but not surprisingly, everything was resolved by the time they arrived.

Perhaps it was because of Gu Anran’s situation, but Gu Bing and the others did not show mercy. If the attackers weren’t dead, they were gravely injured and moaning weakly on the ground.

The only person left standing was Mo Du, and he stood there indifferent, as if nothing had happened. He didn’t seem to spare any sorrow to the gravely injured beastmen lying at his feet.

“Duan Liang.” Gu Bing said in a low voice.

“Don’t call me by that name, I am Mo Du now.” When Mo Du heard voice, his indifferent expression immediately changed.

The atmosphere became awkward and no one spoke. It seems that all five of them knew each other and so this Mo Du….no, Duan Liang, should be her mother’s old lover?

However, her hypothesis was quickly shattered into pieces.

“So this is what you have become. What would Duan Ming say if he saw you like this?” Mu Yu crossed her arms, the gentle smile on her face now gone as she looked at Mo Du with cold eyes.

“And…and what would he say? If he even cared a little bit about me, he wouldn’t have thrown me in here!” Mo Du’s first sentence was full of bitterness but then his voice rose into a furious roar.

“The two of you are brothers, so you should know that it would’ve never worked out.” Gu Bing said coldly.

What! What is this? I finally got it! The forbidden love between two brothers!! Although it is unrequited love….

“Yes…” Mo Du seemed distant as he looked upwards. Then laughed self-deprecatingly as a memory surfaced in his brain, “I just wanted to stay by his side silently. After all, it was you who he liked so much…but I never expected for him to throw me in here. When I open my eyes….I found myself in this forsaken place where even the birds don’t dare to sh*t in…”

“Heh, you don’t even understand what happened back then and you dare to blame us? You reap what you sow.” Hong Yan glared at Mo Du.

“Oh, and what did I do wrong?” Mo Du shrugged, the bitter expression on his face no longer anywhere to be found. He switched into a completely different personality in a second. Gu Anran felt that perhaps this beastman was a little bipolar….

“Wasn’t it you who caused the disappearance of the children?” At Gu Bing’s words, the others quickly showed disgusted expressions.

“Little beast? Which little beast? Which one are you guys talking about?” Mo Du tilted his head.

“Do we need to remind you of your crimes?” Mu Yu snorted coldly, “In the middle of the night, you entered the little beasts’ resting place and then brought the poor children to the den of a large group of coyotes. Before the coyotes killed them, you watched as they…..” Mu Yu paused. She seemed to be trembling in anger and couldn’t finish her words due to her fury.

“Ah…are you talking about that matter? How can I be the one to be blamed for this matter? I watched everyday as those little beasts played leisurely on the grasslands and yet got to enjoy the fruits of other people’s labor. So I let them be useful for once and entertain me with their deaths. Seeing the panic on their originally happy faces…that face filled with despair and that beautiful wailing as their flesh were ripped from their bones….now that was true beauty!” Mo Du said with a look of intoxication, as if he could see the past right in front of him. His entire state was insane and creepy.

“You….you…” Gu Bing couldn’t say anything and only curse him inside her heart. You’re a lunatic who can’t be redeemed!

Bang! The impulsive Hong Yan was more direct and punched a fist into Mo Du’s stomach.

Gu Anran watched as the fist sunk deeply into Mo Du’s stomach. That must hurt….

She watched as Hong Yan slowly retracted her fist and Mo Du fell down with a thud. He clutched his stomach and retched with pain.

“Hong Yan, clean this up quickly. Anran still needs treatment.” Gu Bing suddenly appeared by Gu Anran’s side and looked down at her with a face full of anxiety.

Gu Anran only felt like her head was underwater. She felt more and more sleepy and her eyelids became more and more heavy. Beside her ears, she kept hearing frantic voices telling her not to sleep. She felt so confused. Why can’t she sleep? She’s so tired….of course she needs her rest….

When Gu Anran opened her eyes again, she faced a wooden wall and the strong stench of herbs entered her nose.

She didn’t die….

She breathed a sigh of relief. She hasn’t finished her missions yet, wouldn’t the system kill her for real if she died just like that?

She looked at the favorability rating. The female lead’s rating is only at 85, so how could she…wait?! When did it jump up to 85?!!!!

She was about to jump up in shock but she forgot she was still injured….owww!

“Wuuuu…..” A groan sounded out from her throat. She then looked down and saw that she was wrapped up in many layers of cloth. She looked like a rare-wolf shaped mummy in this getup.

“Anran, you’re awake!” “An Ran, you’re awake!” Chi Wenyan, who was sleeping next to Gu Anran, immediately clung to her daughter and due to her loud movements, Gu Bing, who was making breakfast outside, also rushed in.

“Anran has woken up?”

“Mom….” Her voice was still weak and she had to use a lot of effort to even say one word. Every word was painful and made her chest feel like it was burning.

“Don’t speak, you have three broken ribs and it will take a long time for you to recover. Don’t force yourself and rest.” Gu Bing said hurriedly and remembered what the doctor had said during the treatment.

The doctor had helplessly told her that they had done their best and even if the wounds are treated, the excessive blood loss paired with Gu Anran’s young age was just too much. Logically speaking, it was hopeless. However, the doctor looked at Gu Bing and Chi Wenyan’s faces and decided to give them a little hope. He told them that as long as Gu Anran woke up on her one, she could be fine. However, if she didn’t wake up….

Gu Bing and Chi Wenyan became desperate when they heard that. This was their child! Their first child!

Although the doctor and others were not optimistic, Gu Bing and Chi Wenyan insisted that she would wake up. As long as Gu Anran was still breathing, they would not give up. And then Gu Anran finally woke up! The Heavens truly will not disappoint the person who tries! The two of them almost broke out into tears.

Gu Bing gently patted Gu Anran’s head, “Anran, you must take a good rest. I’ll call the doctor over later for a check-up but do you want to eat first?”

As talking hurt too much, she slightly nodded her head. However, the current Gu Bing and Chi Wenyan were just happy that their daughter was reacting. As long as Gu Anran was still alive, they were happy. After all, their daughter was unresponsive for these past three days, so this little movement was a big improvement.

She ate a little bit of some minced meat with broth before the doctor arrived. The doctor carefully exclaimed her and the shock in his eyes could not be concealed.

“It is a miracle you actually woke up from such a serious injury. For a beastmen, it is not so surprising, but for a fragile beast it can only be classified as a miracle.” He nodded with a sigh, and suddenly the doctor felt two murderous gazes on his body. He remembered that the injured patient’s relatives were right beside him and he coughed hurriedly, “She is no longer in any danger of dying and as long as you let her rest well for three months, she should be fine. Her hind legs will need to go through some physical therapy and at this time she should only eat liquid food. Only when her stomach injuries no longer hurt, can you feed her some small pieces of meat. It’s best to have food prepared at all times as she needs the nutrition to repair her body.”

After the doctor left, Mu Qingli, Hong Qingyi, and Chi Mengyan hurriedly entered the room.

Gu Anran had closed her eyes to rest when she heard the sudden movements. She opened her eyes to see a rabbit crying with snot running down their face. She almost screamed in fright, but only made a gasping sound….

“Anran, Anran, what’s wrong? Are you in pain?” Mu Qingli quickly rushed over in front of Gu Anran and said nervously.

“No….Qingli, I think that she was frightened and so she screamed….” Chi Mengyan candidly told the truth.

“Cough…” Mu Qingli coughed embarrassedly, but then her tears started falling again, “Anran, I’m so sorry, this is all my fault. You got into this mess because I ran off…” She remembered when she had laid her eyes on the bloodied Gu Anran. Gu Bing held Gu Anran in her arms and rushed her to the emergency room. She was so scared by the sight that she had cried without stopping. She had waited outside with anxiety and when the doctor had come out, she saw Gu Anran wrapped in bandages while still in a coma. Her tears became a waterfall but since the patient needed quiet, she stood outside and waited for Anran to wake up.

“It’s okay….” Gu Anran struggled with her words and she signaled at Hong Qingyi with her eyes.

“Qingli, Anran doesn’t want you to blame yourself like this. She will feel unhappy if you’re like this. The patient needs to be in a good mood to recover so it’s not good for you to be like this. And look, now that she’s awake we can see her every day! And since she can’t move, we should accompany her every day, so she won’t get bored.” Hong Qingyi stepped forward and explained.

“Is that so?” Mu Qingli looked at Gu Anran, and Gu Anran nodded quickly. Only then did Mu Qingli let out a sigh of relief and then laughed happily.

“Qingli, Anran just woke up, she needs rest. Let’s come back tomorrow.” Chi Mengyan said.

“En. Anran, rest well. We will come visit you everyday.” Mu Qingli looked at Chi Mengyan, then at Gu Anran who nodded.

“Okay.”

Mu Qingli glanced back three more times before finally leaving.

Gu Anran’s dark mood quickly dissipated and she closed her eyes as she entered deep slumber.
