However, she was extremely clear about what would happen after a scream. She knew exactly what the powder scattered on her body was. This stuff could attract the wild beasts in the vicinity.
If she made another sound, she was afraid she would die even faster!
Thinking of this, Ning Yan'er just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. The stench in the air made her feel nauseous. The flies and insects on the rotting corpses were gradually crawling towards her.
Not far away, a half - rotted corpse was staring at her with its only eye. It was covered with maggots, which was extremely terrifying.
Ning Yan'er's body trembled violently. A faint gust of wind came from the distance, making her shiver again.
Forcing herself to endure the fear in her heart, she stepped on the rotting corpses and walked towards the edge of the mass grave.
Suddenly, several dim lights appeared in front of her, filled with bloodthirst and greed.
Ning Yan'er couldn't help taking a few steps back. Finally, those dim lights emerged from the darkness.
They were actually several jackals. The lights were their eyes.
At this moment, they were greedily eyeing Ning Yan'er in front of them.
"Help... help me..."
"Save me..."
The smell of blood on Ning Yan'er and the smell that drove them crazy made them excited for no reason.
The next moment, they mercilessly pounced on Ning Yan'er.
A series of shrill screams instantly pierced the night sky. "Ah!"
"Help!"
"Get away! Save me..."
In a tree not far away, the black - clothed man quietly watched what was happening. He held a few pebbles in his hand and occasionally threw them at the jackals.
With great precision, he controlled the jackals to bite Ning Yan'er's limbs but not to hurt her life.
Ning Yan'er soon noticed this. Her heart was filled with despair. She watched helplessly as her body was being devoured bit by bit, but she was powerless...
Why?
Wasn't all this supposed to be endured by that bitch?
How could it be her, watching herself being devoured by the wolves?
She was not willing!
Why was that bitch so lucky?
She was nobler than her. Why didn't he love her? Instead, he loved that bitch?
Liu Rumei, why isn't it you who is dead?
...
The sky was turning white. The sun was slowly rising, bringing the first ray of sunlight and gradually dispelling the cold on the continent.
However, it was extremely silent in the West Garden.
The Yun Xi and Yun Li brothers quietly guarded beside Liu Rumei. Their identical eyes were filled with worry.
"Why hasn't Liu Liu woken up yet?"
"Sister will be okay!"
Sixi was also extremely sad. The smile on her face, who was always cheerful, had disappeared.
Next door.
Mo Liandi looked coldly at Mo Litian in front of him. His voice was full of coldness. "What are you doing here?"
Mo Litian let out a bitter laugh in his heart. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "How is she?"
He knew that Mo Liandi wouldn't let him see her. He just wanted to know if she was okay. That was enough!
Mo Liandi looked calm. "She'll be fine."
It was not clear whether this was said to Mo Litian or to himself...
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was extremely heavy. After a while, Mo Litian finally broke the silence. "Be careful. He wants to harm Miss Liu."
Mo Liandi gave a cold laugh. "Then let him come."
He was never afraid of him. He had almost found out about what happened back then and had almost collected all the evidence. If he wanted to attack him, he would see if he had the ability.
He would never show mercy.
However, there was a faint worry in his heart. Liu Rumei's words seemed to be still ringing in his ears.
This was the reason why he had been hesitant to take action. If it had been in the past, he would have already taken action.
But now, he hesitated.
Revenge and her were both extremely important, but he was afraid... that he couldn't find her.
But if he gave up, he would have no face to see his father. For a moment, Mo Liandi was caught in a dilemma.
Mo Litian didn't know what Mo Liandi was thinking. He had said what he needed to say and could do nothing else.
After a while.
There was a sudden commotion next door.
Mo Liandi was overjoyed. He turned around and rushed out.
Mo Litian also quickly followed.
At this moment, Liu Rumei looked at Sixi and the others who were full of worry in front of her. A faint smile appeared on her pale face.
Seeing Mo Liandi rush into the room like a gust of wind, the smile on Liu Rumei's face deepened a bit.
Yun Xi and Yun Li unceremoniously occupied the positions in front of the bed and tightly held Liu Rumei's hands.
Their eyes were full of worry.
Seeing Mo Liandi approaching, Sixi was very sensible. She pulled the Yun Xi brothers into her arms and took them out of the room. "Miss Liu, you should rest well. I'll go and invite the doctor."
Just as she reached the door, she ran into Mo Litian who was rushing over.
Looking at the three of them, Mo Litian instantly understood what was going on. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He turned around and left.
Sixi let out a soft sigh. She naturally knew the prince's feelings for Miss Liu.
However, Miss Liu already had the prince!
She closed the door for them. Then, Sixi was met with two angry looks. She couldn't help but smile awkwardly. "The prince has been in a bad mood these days. It's better for us to avoid him."
Yun Xi snorted and sat down in the courtyard angrily.
Yun Li's face was also a bit ugly, but he didn't show it as obviously as Yun Xi.
Sixi pouted aggrievedly. She was full of helplessness in her heart. If they stayed in the room any longer, the three of them would definitely be thrown out by the prince.
She was doing this for their own good.
Liu Rumei in the room didn't know Sixi's aggrieved thoughts. She looked at Mo Liandi in front of her with a smile. "Where is Ning Yan'er?"
She hadn't forgotten that that woman had pushed her into the mass grave.
Since she was still alive, Ning Yan'er must pay the price.
Unexpectedly, Mo Liandi just said three words faintly. "Mass grave."
Liu Rumei was slightly surprised. Looking at the cold - faced man in front of her, she tentatively asked, "Did you do it?"
Mo Liandi nodded and pulled her into his arms. "Liu Liu, I won't let her hurt you again."
Nor would he let her leave.
Liu Rumei felt a warm current in her heart. Her eyes were full of soft light. "Mo Liandi, thank you."
She rarely called him by his name, but now that she did, there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Mo Liandi lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. "Liu Liu, will you always stay with me?"
Liu Rumei was stunned and was silent for a long time. Just when Mo Liandi thought she wouldn't answer, a soft voice sounded in his ear. "Okay."
No matter what the future held, for now, she wanted to stay by his side.
Mo Liandi was overjoyed. His hands tightened a bit. "Liu Liu, when you recover, we'll get married."
