I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 134: The Price of Blood

Qin Yiyao was supported by Bai Feier and limped into the front yard.

With each step she took, a horrifying trail of blood appeared beneath her feet. She was wrapped in a robe, making it impossible to see where she was injured, but from her barely breathing and near-death state, anyone could tell that this little girl was seriously injured!

Both of them are in bad shape.

Bai Feier looks slightly better, but this "better" is only in comparison to Qin Yiyao.

Her arms were covered with deep, bone-revealing wounds, as if she had been deliberately tortured. Her face was pale, and the blood dripping from the corner of her mouth looked somewhat bluish-purple. Compared to Qin Yiyao, her external injuries were slightly better, but her brow was bluish-black, clearly indicating that she had been poisoned! However, at least she could still walk.

Qin Yiyao could barely walk.

A deafening roar immediately filled Gu Heng's mind.

He suddenly stood up and walked over step by step!

As she drew closer, Qin Yiyao swayed and raised her head, meeting Gu Heng's gaze. Her thin, bloodless lips moved slightly, and she weakly murmured, "Master... I'm back..."

After saying that, he completely fainted.

Gu Heng quickly hugged her.

He smelled a mixture of blood and the scent of a young girl.

Then, the anger in my heart began to burn fiercely.

"Young Master Gu, I... I failed to protect her..."

Bai Feier stood there with difficulty, not daring to look Gu Heng in the eye. It wasn't so much the toxins in her body that had sapped her strength, but rather the overwhelming sense of defeat that made her feel utterly ashamed. She had personally sworn a solemn oath to Gu Heng that she would ensure Qin Yiyao wouldn't be harmed, not even a single hair on her head.

However, a Blood Shadow Envoy at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage turned her promise into a joke. Even with a Saint-grade divine weapon in hand and a Grade Earth-grade armor on her body, she couldn't gain any advantage against this assassin whose cultivation level far surpassed hers and whose cultivation technique was so treacherous and vicious.

Her cultivation level was ultimately too low, preventing her from unleashing the full power of the Saint-grade soft sword.

Otherwise, she could have killed that Blood Shadow Envoy in seven or eight moves!

But despite their thoughts, neither of them could even be considered a winner; it was merely a lose-lose situation for both of them.

"Don't say such things, Miss Fei'er, I don't blame you for anything."

Gu Heng looked at Qin Yiyao, who had fainted in his arms, his eyes dark and cold. He didn't care who had done this now; healing the two of them was the most important thing. But Bai Feier hadn't taken two steps when she spat out another mouthful of dark green, foul-smelling blood and collapsed to the ground.

Having no other option, Gu Heng had to call other people from inside the house.

When Bai Chong and Bai Mo saw Bai Feier lying unconscious on the ground, their faces were completely distorted.

"This is how the same thing?!"

Bai Mo's eyes widened in horror. He rushed forward, picked up Bai Feier, and placed his hand on her pulse. His heart skipped a beat—

It's blood poison that's corrupting the blood vessels and causing internal damage!

Miss has been poisoned again?!

"Take them upstairs first."

Gu Heng's expression was solemn, and he immediately gave the order. Bai Mo also realized what was happening and hurriedly followed Gu Heng upstairs. He put Qin Yiyao and Bai Feier on the bed and then left Gu Heng alone to treat them.

He untied Qin Yiyao's robe and tore off her tattered skirt, revealing her youthful, delicate body covered in scars.

Qin Yiyao has an exceptionally beautiful body.

But Gu Heng had no interest in paying attention to the scenery in front of him.

Because she had countless wounds on her body, some deep and some shallow, almost turning her into a blood-soaked figure. Her chest and abdomen were covered in bruises, indicating that she had suffered a severe blow and definitely had internal injuries.

He immediately got to work.

First, stop the bleeding, then treat the wound. After the system's diligent training, Gu Heng himself was unsure of how proficient he had become in medicine, but treating external or internal injuries was definitely no problem for him!

Moreover, Qin Yiyao is still hanging on by a thread; she has a strong will to survive!

Gu Heng quickly finished treating the situation and fed Qin Yiyao the pill, listening as her breathing gradually returned to normal and then became steady.

After treating Qin Yiyao's injuries, he removed Bai Feier's clothes and saw that she was wearing a silver-white soft armor, which seemed to have protected her from a lot of damage.

"As expected, people from big families do have some good treasures that can save their lives."

Although Gu Heng thought the soft armor was of poor quality, since Bai Feier was wearing it, it meant it was protective armor for cultivators, so his opinion was naturally useless.

This kind of magical artifact used by cultivators is very powerful, but he simply couldn't see its secrets.

How could a mere mortal possibly fathom the treasures of a cultivator?

However, Gu Heng really hoped that his medical skills could help Bai Feier. Even if a cultivator suffered a superficial injury, a mortal's medical skills could treat the injury and remove the poison, which shouldn't be a problem.

At least the medical skills were taught by the system itself. If it won't train them for itself, at least it shouldn't make these "skills" so useless that they can only help mortals. Otherwise, who else can help Bai Feier?

Downstairs are three old men, each one a skinny stick; he's the only useful one in this clinic.

Hoping that the system wouldn't disappoint him at this time, Gu Heng began to treat Bai Feier's injuries.

After working for half an hour, it was almost dark.

Finally, he stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and let out a long sigh of relief.

We've used all the medications we needed.

As the worries gradually subside, what rises is the anger that was suppressed by those worries!

Who on earth would use such ruthless methods against two women?!

Seeing his little girl lying on the bed with such a weak breath, Gu Heng clenched his fist, making a cracking sound.

Normally, when she's too lazy to wash her own clothes, Gu Heng wouldn't even yell at her, but now she's been beaten like this?!

And then there's Bai Feier... His relationship with Bai Feier isn't actually that deep. If Gu Heng were to judge for himself, he would say that the two are good friends who can talk to each other. After all, it's rare for mortals to make friends with cultivators, and he's lucky to have such a person.

Who could have hurt her like this?

With a burning desire in his heart, Gu Heng went downstairs.

He didn't think about it anymore.

Whoever did it, he must make them pay a bloody price!
