The Unknown Beauty - Chapter 221 The Boy who thanked her
Lin Yu Yan held her hand as Han Bingwen carried Chen Xing-Fu as they ran away as far as possible from the situation.
They ran into the Unknown forest. They ran until they felt safe enough to settle down.
They are all breathing hard. Lin Yu Yan’s bloodlust to kill the woman was still strong so she had to calm down. She focused on her breathing and her mind.
Han Bingwen set Chen Xing-Fu down on the soft grass. Right after, he fell over, losing all strength to get back up again.
“Brother Bingwen!” yelled Chen Xing-Fu.
“Bingwen!” shouted Lin Yu Yan.
Lin Yu Yan was focusing on breathing, she forgot Han Bingwen was hurt too. After she calmed down, she grabbed a few healings from her bag.
“I’m fine…” he said.
Lin Yu Yan grabbed the healing cream that Li Dan E made only for emergencies and rushed over to Han Bingwen’s side.
With only one hand available, she took off his shirt with the help of Chen Xing-Fu and couldn’t believe the wound on his back. It was all bruised up and bleeding. Not only that, the punch was so severe, the woman’s strength alone made thousands of scratches.
Lin Yu Yan spread the cream over his wound expecting it to work but it didn’t. Something didn’t seem right. She placed a little of her qi into his body to find something odd. Something is his body is stopping his wound from healing.
She thought of ways to get rid of it but nothing came up.
“What’s going on…?” said Lin Yu Yan.
“No…,” said Chen Xing-Fu. He held his head remembering something. “My mother did this…. She has done this to me before… she didn’t let my body heal… At one time, maggots were swarming over my injuries….”
He was frightened, remembering those harsh times. Lin Yu Yan was in disbelief. ‘What do you mean your mother did this…’
Then a question popped into her head that might give some information about the situation.
“Xing-Fu… how old are you?” she asked.
“I’m 4…” he said.
“You’re 4?!”
Lin Yu Yan looked at him and still can’t comprehend how little he is for a four-year-old.
“I know… My body is too little… it’s because for 2 whole years… she didn’t let my body heal…,” he said.
“That might of prevented you from growing…,” said Lin Yu Yan. ‘She used this on her own child… this power that weakens the body so far, the body’s only instinct is to stop it from growing to reduce needs, so the injury she created will rot and kill the victim if not carefully treated…’
She kept thinking over and over again on what to do. ‘But if he was infected with maggots at one point… meaning Xing-Fu isn’t in such horrible state anymore base on how he said it… but something doesn’t seem right… Bingwen is losing strength as we speak…’
“Sh!t… what am I supposed to do…,” said Lin Yu Yan.
She wiped the cream off his back to have a more proper diagnosis and noticed that the cream slowed down the process. Lin Yu Yan put more cream on his back and wrapped him up.
‘But… not only is the body stopped healing, the wound is getting worse…’
“Something is not right… Why is his wound so purple….?” asked Chen Xing-Fu.
Lin Yu Yan gave it one more look and it seems that his wound isn’t just bruised… it seems cursed.
“It’s a curse…” she said.
“A curse!?” said Chen Xing-Fu.
“He’s been curse twice, for his body to rot away and his body to stop healing as time passes… at the same time…meaning he has no time!”
Lin Yu Yan was getting frustrated and didn’t know what to do. She had no medical knowledge of someone doing this.
“Yu Yan…” said Han Bingwen.
“Bingwen!” she said. She helped him up but was stopped.
“Heal yourself first…” he said. “And Xing-Fu…”
Lin Yu Yan couldn’t help but cry. She did what she was told and used the cream on Chen Xing-Fu. His body was covered in old wounds and scars that reminded her when she used to have hers.
Her tears didn’t stop while treating him. With the help of Chen Xing-Fu, she was also able to get her broken arm cast.
With her broken arm, she set up camp for the night. She gathered some wood and created a fire to warm them up. She put up a tent quickly and placed Han Bingwen in a futon so he can rest.
She watched over him, thinking about what do to. She tried to think of all the things she learned from the books her mother left for her. She forgot she had them in her ring and grabbed it out, reading the context only to find nothing.
She sighed and place the book back to her ring and started to walk around to see if anything can trigger her memory. She was thinking too hard, she bit through her skin on her finger.
She licked the blood off and felt something weird. Her eyes turn red as she feels the energy flow throughout her body to her injuries. She could feel her body heating up and her arm got healed instantly. Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.
“Ah!” she shouted, remembering something. “How could I forget!?”
She ran into the tent were Han Bingwen was laying face down since it’s his that’s injured.
“Bingwen! Bingwen!” she said.
“What!? Did something happened?” he said, waking up from hearing her voice. He now has enough strength to get up but it was only to make Lin Yu Yan worry less. Lin Yu Yan helped him by letting him lean on her.
“My blood! Drink my blood!” she said. “My Aunt Zhi Zhen said my clan has special healing powers which is why I heal faster than normal people. But she was surprised when I told her I healed my ribs in 4 hours, the fastest time she has ever heard of any broken bone being healed!”
“What?” he said. He was a little confused.
“I think you need a higher dosage of my blood! The healing cream has a very small percentage of it but it was able to slow down whatever is doing this to you.”
Han Bingwen was a little shocked to hear that and watched as she made a cut on her hand.
“So if I drink your blood, then I will heal?” he asked.
“Ow… Yes,” she said, looking at her wound. It was the first time she had to injure herself so it was a surprise. She then looked at Han Bingwen and said, “Now, drink.”
Blood dripped down her translucent skin. Han Bingwen looked at Lin Yu Yan eyes. Her eyes glowed a beautiful red and then he licked the blood dripping down her arm up to her cut. He drank her blood, feeling the energy throughout his body.
His back was heating up, with the cells in his body working quickly to heal his body. Han Bingwen licked the cut clean and helped wrapped the wound.
“Your arm is okay?” he asked.
“Yeah… Much faster then the time my uncle broke my ribs,” she said. To show him proof, she moved it up and down and lifted a piece of wood.
Lin Yu Yan asked Han Bingwen to undress so she can check if it’s fully healed. It’s healed but Lin Yu Yan could still feel something wrong. Just like the cream, it only was able to heal at a certain point and slow it down.
“No… Something is not right…” said Lin Yu Yan. “it’s a curse. My blood was only able to heal you but it didn’t fully stop it. We still have to find a way to cure you…”
“So it’s going to happen again…” said Han Bingwen.
“How are we going to get rid of it if we don’t even know what it is?” asked Lin Yu Yan.
“Sigh… we have to fight her,” said Han Bingwen.
“I guess we do. You just have to drink my blood in the meantime,” she said.
“But you’ll lose too much blood,” he said.
“I won’t. I won’t run out until I’m dead so I will be fine,” said Lin Yu Yan. She smiled at him as her eyes glow red.
Han Bingwen just smiles and hugged her tightly into his arms.
“I’m sorry,” Han Bingwen said. “I couldn’t protect you or Xing-Fu.”
“…me too,” Lin Yu Yan said. She buried her face into his chest as her hands clenched around his back, flinching from an unsettling pain. She wrapped her hand with the cut she made.
Chen Xing-Fu, who went out to use the bathroom, got back to the camp to see Han Bingwen and Lin Yu Yan still setting up camp.
“What are you doing!? Your arm is still…” he then looked at his arm an noticed there was no more bruising. Then he noticed Han Bingwen was also standing up as if the injury he had never happened.
“You’re… healed?”
“Yes,” said Han Bingwen, patting his head.
“Yeah… I heal pretty fast,” she said. “Don’t worry, come look.”
He walked over to her and touched her arm to make sure she wasn’t wrong. Han Bingwen undressed to show Lin Yu Yan and Chen Xing-Fu the wound has been healed. But for extra precaution, she used her qi to watch over his body.
“It really is healed…I was surprised I healed fast too,” he said. Chen Xing-Fu is still healing due to his body heals slower than normal people probably because of his mother but the cream definitely helped.
They finished setting up the fire and cooked some dinner. By then, it was sunset. They decided it was best to stay in the forest for a few days to make sure it’s safe.
Lin Yu Yan didn’t allow Chen Xing-Fu to go back to her. He also didn’t want to go back but his mind somehow was conditioned to do so. After what happened, there was no way that’s going to happen.
“You have to stay next to me… understand?” she told Chen Xing-Fu. “I don’t ever want to see another scar on you.”
He didn’t know what to say. No one has ever said that to him. He looked down, trembling a little, and cried. He nodded his head.
Lin Yu Yan felt broken. She hugged him close to her body, never wanting to let go of this child.
“Thank you, Yu Yan and Bingwen… Thanks for saving me,” Chen Xing-Fu said.
