Chapter 2803: Chapter 3804: How Will You Know If You Don’t Try?
No, there’s still a chance. As long as he finds the right person for resurrection, he can make a comeback!
Unfortunately, Bai Ruozhu won’t give him such an opportunity!
"Quanxin, hurry!" she shouted.
Quanxin swiftly drilled into Gufeng’s head, and the black Soul Fire screamed as it was sucked back, entering Quanxin completely until the screams gradually disappeared.
Even though Gufeng was unwilling, he had no power to resist.
Once Quanxin finished devouring, it happily returned to the Space, soon producing plenty of Spiritual Liquid. Bai Ruozhu glanced at it and saw there were ten drops.
Xiaohei watched, drooling madly, and she immediately asked Quanxin to give Xiaohei one drop.
She also asked Quanxin to set aside one drop for Furball, and she collected the rest. She planned to return to the Peach Forest to see if this Spiritual Liquid was useful for Feng Cheng’s residual soul transforming into peaches.
The Phoenix Poisonous Insect lost its host and suddenly became exceptionally frenzied, attempting to burrow into Lanlan’s body.
Lanlan was frightened and her face went pale, "No, it can only parasitize on a male. If it enters me, I won’t survive more than three days."
Unfortunately, before she finished speaking, the Phoenix Poisonous Insect had already burrowed inside. The Phoenix Poisonous Insect seemed to be furious as if its territory was invaded, and with a scream, it also burrowed back into Lanlan’s body.
"How are you? Are you alright?" Bai Ruozhu hurriedly supported her.
"For now, I’m alright, but I won’t..." survive more than three days.
Lanlan’s eyes turned red. Her survival once hadn’t been easy, and she cherished every day she had stolen from destiny. She really didn’t want to die just like this.
"Don’t worry, where there’s a will, there’s a way. Perhaps it can be transferred to someone else." Bai Ruozhu thought of Gufeng’s purpose; perhaps the Phoenix Poisonous Insect could go to Chenfeng, and then he and Lanlan wouldn’t have an obstacle between them. Additionally, his snake arm feared insects, which might be the best way to control the snake arm.
She looked at everyone, "Let’s head back first. Aunt and grandma must be worried sick."
With Gufeng’s death, those Poisonous Insects also died, and they had no way of being sewn back in, so they had to detour to the Secret Realm entrance before returning to the Jiuli Clan.
It was already noon by then, past the Wedding Banquet time, but no one was in the mood to care about the Wedding Banquet; everyone was worried about Lanlan and the others’ safety.
Upon hearing the news, the clan leader immediately dispatched people to help, but only found the unconscious Chenfeng with Fo Lanying and Yuan Licheng watching over him, and they brought them back first.
Chenfeng hadn’t awakened all along, and many looked at him as if he was a monster, avoiding him from afar. Previously, the Jiuli Clan people only knew he had a strange iron arm, but they didn’t know that inside was a snake.
How could someone have lost an arm, only for a fierce python to grow out? Isn’t this a demon?
Jiao Ling felt upset and ordered people to carry Chenfeng inside, not wanting her son-in-law to be pointed at or looked at with strange eyes by anyone.
When Bai Ruozhu and the others called out from outside the Barrier, everyone in the clan knew, and upon hearing that Lanlan had been rescued, and everyone had returned safely, they all cheered.
Jiao Yunyun and Jiao Ling, the mother and daughter, embraced and cried bitterly, not with sadness but with joy.
The group hurried back to the bamboo house, and Bai Ruozhu briefly recounted the events. When they heard Gufeng was dead, everyone shouted with joy, this poisonous tumor was finally removed.
"Let’s reschedule the wedding to tomorrow. I remember tomorrow is also an auspicious day for marriage," Bai Ruozhu suggested.
"But they..." Jiao Ling felt a bit worried; Chenfeng hadn’t awakened yet, isn’t this too rushed?
Bai Ruozhu had her considerations and insisted, "Let’s do it tomorrow. We’ll prepare for the Wine Feast again."
Lanlan felt a bit unsure, tugged at her sleeve, and asked, "Is this really alright?"
Bai Ruozhu whispered, "If something happens to you, he won’t live alone, so why not give it a try?"
After everyone congratulated them, they all left. The clan leader curiously asked, "Ruozhu girl, isn’t this decision too rushed? Such things just happened, shouldn’t the two children rest for a few days?"
Bai Ruozhu smiled, "That’s why we should hold a joyous event to counter with joy."
"Haha, that’s fine, that’s fine," the clan leader said with a laugh.
Once everyone left, Bai Ruozhu went to check on Chenfeng. After applying a few needles, Chenfeng awoke. As soon as he opened his eyes, he urgently called, "Lanlan, quickly save Lanlan!"
Lanlan grabbed his hand, "I’m here, it’s alright now, Gufeng is already dead."
Chenfeng breathed a sigh of relief seeing her and said with reddened eyes, "I was useless, almost endangered you."
"What are you saying? It’s all the trouble I caused," Lanlan said self-reproachingly.
Bai Ruozhu coughed twice, "Why not wait to apologize to each other when you’re in your wedding chamber? There are so many of us watching right now."
Lanlan and Chenfeng’s faces turned red as Chenfeng’s gaze fell on his snake arm, where fine needles were embedded, causing the snake to stop moving.
His expression changed drastically, "No, I can’t, I can’t let Lanlan be harmed."
Bai Ruozhu sighed and turned to her aunt, saying, "Aunt, please take Lanlan to rest for a while. Achun and I need to talk to Chenfeng."
Jiao Ling nodded and led Lanlan out while everyone else also gave them privacy.
"Chenfeng, I know you don’t want to implicate Lanlan. I just want to ask you, for Lanlan’s sake, are you willing to die?" Bai Ruozhu asked.
"I am," Chenfeng said earnestly, but then he showed a look of urgency, "What’s happened to Lanlan?"
She looked at Jiang Yichun, "You say it."
"The reason Gufeng caught Lanlan was because only by mating the Phoenix Poisonous Insect with the Phoenix Poisonous Insect can they truly develop, and Lanlan can only marry someone with a Phoenix Poisonous Insect, otherwise the partner would die overnight..." Jiang Yichun said.
Chenfeng was a bit shocked, does this mean he can’t marry Lanlan?
"But Gufeng is dead, the Phoenix Poisonous Insect cannot find a host and unexpectedly burrowed into Lanlan’s body. The Phoenix Poisonous Insect can only be maintained by a male. If it cannot find a suitable host, Lanlan won’t survive more than three days," Bai Ruozhu added.
"Therefore, Ruozhu hopes you and Lanlan can get married. During your wedding chamber time, you can lure the Phoenix Poisonous Insect into your body. We are not sure if you can withstand the Phoenix Poisonous Insect, but if you can bear it, it might also help control your snake arm, and perhaps your problem will be solved," Jiang Yichun continued.
Chenfeng excitedly sat up, "I agree, whatever it takes to save Lanlan, I’ll do it. I’ll also give my all to make it through."
"Alright, get married tomorrow!" Bai Ruozhu said happily.
She thought for a while, worried that Lanlan, that silly girl, wouldn’t agree, so she directly asked Jiang Yichun to talk to Chenfeng while she went to find Lanlan.
Lanlan had already informed Jiao Ling of the situation, and Jiao Ling immediately asked Bai Ruozhu upon seeing her, "Did Chenfeng agree?"
Bai Ruozhu nodded, "He said for Lanlan’s sake he’d definitely try his best, and if he can maintain the Phoenix Poisonous Insect, he might control the snake arm, and perhaps there could be unimaginable benefits."
"What if he fails to control the Phoenix Poisonous Insect?" Lanlan worriedly asked.
"How would you know without trying?" Bai Ruozhu helplessly glared at her, "If you don’t try, you won’t survive three days, and he doesn’t want to live alone. Even if we managed to persuade him, that snake arm would claim his life anyway. This is your chance and his chance too, rather than being scared of this or that and afraid to try, it would be better to pray to heaven to help you both."
