Even hybrid monsters have their day

She tried to open her eyes, but found that she couldn't open them no matter what she did.

I could hear some noise around me, as well as the sound of metal clanging.

A wave of doubt washed over her. Were those people still fighting? What about Dongfang Liancheng? Wasn't he supposed to be able to restore everything as long as he appeared?

What about the Huangfu brothers, Xu Ruwen, and Zhang Zijian? After fighting for so long, I wonder how they are doing. There are so many demons; they could be crushed by a war of attrition.

And then there's Luan Hao...

How is he? She thought she saw him running over quickly. Will Dongfang Liancheng let him go?

Geng Miaowan felt she had countless questions in her mind, all of which she desperately wanted to know. She couldn't wait to open her eyes and see what was going on around her, thinking that perhaps she could still lend a little help.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open her eyes, not even a crack!

In a daze, she felt waves of pain all over her body, as if she were being crushed by something. Then, without warning, a blinding light shone into her eyes. This time, she clearly felt the light shining directly into her eyes. This discovery excited her, and even her pupils involuntarily contracted.

"Alright, the patient is out of danger now. All we need to do now is take good care of him."

"Okay, okay, thank you!"

"Thank you doctor!"

She heard several somewhat familiar voices, but she couldn't quite understand what they were saying.

The patient? You mean her?

A bad feeling crept into her heart. Could it be... that she had time-traveled again in such a short time...?

Geng Miaowan's eyes rolled around a few times under her eyelids before she opened them despite the pain.

The person who had been watching her closely immediately noticed, rushed to the bedside, grabbed her hand, and said excitedly, "You're awake! You're awake... You're finally awake..."

As she spoke, a tear rolled down onto the back of her hand, burning hot. Seeing the person before her, Geng Miaowan's eyes welled up with tears. She had thought this was another time travel, but she never expected to see this person, her closest and dearest, whom she thought she would never see again. Even if it was time travel, being able to stand before her mother was enough for her.

Seeing her staring straight at him, he thought she had hurt her head, so he quickly reached out and touched her head, saying, "Jiu'er, what's wrong? Does your head still hurt? It's okay, if you can't remember, don't think about it for now. We'll go see a doctor."

Jiu'er, what a long-awaited name! How long has it been since she last heard it? She quickly stopped Luo's mother, who was about to go out to call the doctor, and said with a smile, "No need, I'm fine, Mom... I was just a little too excited to see you."

"Silly child, why are you so excited?" Luo's mother said, looking her up and down. "Are you really alright? If you still feel uncomfortable anywhere, be sure to tell Mom, and Mom will call a doctor to come and see you."

"Okay, Mom..." Luo Jiu'er nestled into her mother's arms, enjoying the warmth of family she hadn't felt in a long time. "What's wrong with me?"

"You got hit by a car while saving a child," Luo's mother said, hugging Geng Miaowan tightly, her face and eyes filled with relief at surviving the ordeal. "Although your actions deserve praise, you are also my precious child. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your father and me. What would we do if something happened to you... Do you know how much it hurt me to see you lying there covered in blood that day? Your parents don't expect you to be a hero; we just hope you'll be safe and sound..."

Luo's mother expressed the sentiments of a mother: nothing is more important than her daughter.

Hearing Luo's mother say this, Geng Miaowan didn't know why, but tears streamed down her face. She had a thousand words she wanted to say, but in the end, they only turned into a soft call, "Mom..."

With red eyes, Luo's mother gently stroked her head.

It took Geng Miaowan quite a while to come to her senses. She peeked out from Luo's mother's arms and asked, "So, does that mean I didn't die?"

"Pah, pah, pah! Don't say such unlucky things!" After spitting several times, Luo's mother said, "Then you rest for a while, I'll go buy you some food."

Geng Miaowan nodded.

After her mother left, Luo Jiu'er fell into her own thoughts. She was extremely puzzled. The situation before her seemed exactly as she had guessed—it was what happened after she saved the little boy that day, and it was clear that she hadn't died.

If she didn't die, then what happened to her? Was it just a dream? But the dream felt damnably real.

As if to confirm her words, a small head peeked in through the doorway, and the scene of walking on the street that day reappeared in her mind. It was the little boy she had saved. So it seemed that she really hadn't died, and all those events and the people she had met were just a dream.

Thinking of this, she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.

Looking at the little head at the door, Luo Jiu'er felt a strange melancholy rising in her heart, a faint sadness and a sense of loss.

However, she quickly composed herself, smiled, and waved to the little boy. The little boy glanced at her timidly, then slowly walked in. "Sister."

She reached out and took his hand, asking kindly, "Are you alright?"

The boy shook his head.

She looked the little boy up and down carefully and found that apart from a little gauze on his hand, he had no other injuries.

"Why did you come here by yourself? Where are your parents?"

He pointed to the door and said, "Brother, wait down."

The boy wasn't very old and could only say a few simple phrases, but she understood him. "Your brother is coming down?"

He nodded, pointed to her leg which was in a thick cast, and reached out his small hand as if to touch it, but then stopped in mid-air.

"what's wrong?"

"pain……"

Luo Jiu'er smiled slightly, "It doesn't hurt, sister."

"Sister is brave, and so am I!"

Just then, the door opened, and Luo's mother walked in, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. It's all thanks to you contacting the most authoritative doctor to perform the surgery on Jiu'er; otherwise, we really wouldn't know what to do..."

“Auntie, you’re too kind. If it weren’t for Jiu’er, my brother might have lost his life. No matter what we do, we can’t express our gratitude to your daughter.”

The incredibly familiar voice froze Luo Jiu'er's smile on her face.

“Jiu’er…”

She suddenly looked up and saw a young man, even more handsome than a movie star, standing at the door, smiling and looking at her. The "Jiu'er" that was called out by him was his.

He was immaculate, handsome as a god. She was utterly astonished, and could only stare blankly at him, "Luan...Luan Hao..."

She couldn't utter a word beyond those two words. A flicker of something passed through the man's eyes, but he quickly smiled and walked towards her. "I'm glad you still remember me."

Although he had a smile on his face, his words sounded like they were being squeezed out from between his teeth.

Just as he was about to hug Luo Jiu'er, a furry object suddenly sprang up from the ground and stood between him and her.

Luo Jiu'er was startled. It was a snow-white animal that looked like a puppy, but its face was obviously longer and more pointed than a dog's.

If she wasn't mistaken, it was a fox...

It first bared its teeth at the man for a while before turning to look at Luo Jiu'er. Its eyes gave Luo Jiu'er a strange sense of familiarity, and they were gentle, even more docile than a pet dog. There was even a hint of mockery hidden deep in its eyes.

Before Luo Jiu'er could react, the door opened again, and an angry voice instantly entered her ears, "Haotian, could you be any more shameless?"

Looking up, a face identical to the one at the bedside appeared in the doorway, with a small white dog standing at his feet. Upon seeing the newcomer, the man before Luo Jiu'er's expression instantly changed. A mocking smile appeared on his lips as he looked at Geng Miaowan, but his tone was icy as he said, "Luan Hao, you really are a persistent ghost!"

He was just a hair's breadth away from holding the person he had been longing for day and night, and Haotian couldn't help but curse Luan Hao a thousand times in his heart.

Luan Hao completely ignored him and went straight to Luo Jiu'er's bedside. "Jiu'er, I've finally found you."

“Luan Hao…” Luo Jiu’er’s eyes glistened with tears, and the anxious and indignant face she had seen before losing consciousness reappeared before her eyes. “I thought I would never see you again.”

Luan Hao gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, leaned down, and just as his lips were less than a centimeter away from her forehead, a voice rang out from behind him, "Excuse me, the doctor is making his rounds."

He straightened up again, turned his head and glared disapprovingly at the person in the white coat who was looking at him with a serious expression. Luo Jiu'er felt as if the air around her had suddenly dropped several degrees, but the doctor seemed completely oblivious as he pulled him aside and came to the bedside.

Seeing the familiar face that suddenly put on an ambiguous smile, with a hint of wickedness on its handsome face, Luo Jiu'er could only stare wide-eyed, without any other expression.

"Qiu Pi, you... why are you all here..." Everyone except Peng Yuxian was already in the ward. Peng Yuxian had once said that after Dongfang Liancheng woke up, he would cease to exist in this world. Thinking of the helplessness on his face when he said those words, her heart inexplicably clenched.

"Lie down properly. Everyone else, please leave. I need to check your wound."

Luan Hao: "I really don't understand why Dongfang would let you become a doctor."

Haotian: "If I find out you're abusing your power to do anything underhanded, I'll beat you to a pulp."

The two argued and fought, but Qiu Pi ignored them, staring at Luo Jiu'er as if to say, "You can't escape."

Luo Jiu'er closed her eyes speechlessly. Although she was relieved that everyone was alright, but...

Who can tell her how to deal with them, since they all seem determined to make a scene?

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Lord Yama, please let me go back!"

However, no one heard her prayers, and the ward quickly fell silent. Qiu Pi began to examine the wound on her abdomen with a serious expression.

Everything seemed to be over, yet everything also seemed to be just beginning. (To be continued.)
