760 Bone Assault
“I… I saw a pile of bones…!”
Seeing Liu’er Qianqian like this, Jiang Ming walked over and clenched his fists.
He could feel an inexplicable sense of panic rising in his chest when he stood there.
He felt that if he took another step forward, he might lose his life.
However, he could not see the bones that Liu’er Qianqian was talking about. He could only turn toward the direction that Liu’er Qianqian was looking at.
Liu’er Qianqian was still staring at the spot. When she saw Jiang Ming walk over, she immediately raised her hand and pointed in the direction where Jiang Ming had gone. She stuttered, “Lord Ning Caichen… one of the bones seems to be alive?”
Liu’er Qianqian’s voice was so soft that Jiang Ming could hardly hear her. He stopped in his tracks and looked at her. “What? What do you mean?”
“Ah!”
Liu’er Qianqian’s face was filled with fear. She suddenly shouted and retreated.
She felt as if she was facing a great enemy. She cried and trembled in fear.
Seeing Liu’er Qianqian like this, Jiang Ming went forward to comfort her, but he also saw the bone.
The bone emitted a green light and rushed toward him. It wanted to absorb Jiang Ming’s soul essence.
Liu’er Qianqian quickly went up to protect Jiang Ming, but she was attacked by the bone. Her entire body was instantly covered in wounds, and even her breathing became weak.
Jiang Ming felt the bone’s malice. He broke the bone with one hand and shielded Liu’er Qianqian with the other.
The sound of bones breaking could be heard clearly.
Jiang Ming looked at Liu’er Qianqian and comforted her. “It’s okay. The issue has been resolved.”
Seeing that Jiang Ming did not forget to comfort her when he was in danger, Liu’er Qianqian could not help but feel touched.
The Liu’er family had always allowed her to stand on her own feet and not let her become a cowardly woman.
Otherwise, she would not have let her take her mother’s surname, let alone become a member of her mother’s family.
However, she did not want to be like that. She wanted to be like her mother. She wanted to become a gentle little princess who was loved by everyone around her father.
However, the bone came to life in an instant. It looked at Jiang Ming and rushed toward him.
This time, not only did he break it, but he also cast a spell on it.
Now, the bone could no longer move.
The barrier at the entrance also disappeared in an instant.
As the barrier disappeared, Jiang Ming walked out with Liu’er Qianqian.
Liu’er Qianqian was already panting.
With her injuries and the exhaustion from earlier, she was at her limit.
Jiang Ming kept whispering in her ear, “Don’t fall asleep. We’ll be there soon. You can’t die. You are the princess of the Fengyu Kingdom, and the entire kingdom needs you. Anything can be solved, but if you lose your life, it’s over.”
In order to prevent Liu’er Qianqian from dying, Jiang Ming bandaged her and treated her internal injuries.
However, Liu’er Qianqian still needed to rest. If she did not rest well, her external injuries would get infected.
Jiang Ming found a carriage and asked the coachman to take them to Sikong Wuyuan’s inn.
***
Liang Sisi was waiting for Jiang Ming outside the door. However, after waiting for a while, Jiang Ming still did not come out.
She could not help but feel anxious and wanted to go in and ask.
Just then, Cherry came out to buy groceries and was stopped by Liang Sisi.
“Is Ning Caichen inside? He’s the man who received the embroidered ball.”
Cherry pretended to be confused. “Lord Ning Caichen has left.”
“What?”
Liang Sisi was stunned for a moment before she turned around to look for Jiang Ming.
There were many doors around the mansion. She felt that Jiang Ming might have walked out of another door.
Liang Sisi looked left and right, but she could not find Jiang Ming. She could not help but have a strange feeling.
Didn’t Ning Caichen go out on his own? Why did he seem to have disappeared for no reason? This should not be the case.
Could it be that he had gone to Sikong Wuyuan’s inn?
She felt that Ning Caichen seemed to be in danger. If she did not stop him, Ning Caichen would lose his life.
Thinking of this, Liang Sisi ran even faster and went straight to the inn.
Sikong Wuyuan was still wiping the table in a daze. This table had been wiped so many times that it was sparkling.
“Lord Sikong, is Ning Caichen back? He seems to be missing.”
Liang Sisi had just stepped into the inn when she opened her mouth.
Sikong Wuyuan, who was still in a daze, suddenly became clear-headed.
“What did you just say? Lord Ning Caichen is missing?”
Sikong Wuyuan looked at Liang Sisi.
Liang Sisi told him everything about throwing the embroidered ball and Cherry’s reply. Sikong Wuyuan felt that it was strange and started to think about it. “Are the servant girl’s words really credible? Who knows if she’s spouting nonsense?”
Liang Sisi suddenly realized something, but then she became anxious again. “Then we have to find that servant girl and question her.”
“Let’s go; I’ll go with you.”
Sikong Wuyuan threw the rag aside and hurriedly followed Liang Sisi out.
As soon as they went out, they immediately saw Jiang Ming and Liu’er Qianqian.
Liu’er Qianqian looked like she was on the verge of death. Her entire body was covered in bruises, and her clothes were tattered. There was some blood flowing from the corners of her mouth.
Sikong Wuyuan walked to Jiang Ming in a panic. “What’s going on?”
Jiang Ming could see Sikong Wuyuan’s worry. “Liu’er Qianqian is injured. I’ve checked her injuries. They’re all superficial wounds. She’ll be fine after resting.”
“As for me, I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Liang Sisi could not help but ask, “Where did you guys go? How did Liu’er Qianqian become like this?”
“It’s a long story. I can only tell you about my current situation with Liu’er Qianqian. I can’t tell you anything else.”
Liang Sisi did not ask further after Jiang Ming said so.
Sikong Wuyuan also shut his mouth and called Jiang Ming to bring Liu’er Qianqian to the room next door.
When they arrived at the room, Jiang Ming sorted things out. Then, he discussed Liu’er Qianqian’s matter with Liang Sisi and Sikong Wuyuan.
Now that Liu’er Qianqian was injured, Liu’er Yuanyuan would definitely not let them off. King Fengyu would not let them off either.
The king did not particularly favor Liu’er Qianqian, but he did not allow Liu’er Qianqian to be hurt by others. He put his family first.
