Chapter 266: Chapter 258: Captured Alive
The system advised, [Host, paper cannot contain fire. If you want to use the healing ability to treat the injured on the battlefield, it will be exposed sooner or later. It’s impossible to hide it forever.]
[You are currently afraid of exposure, hesitant and cautious, unable to use the true power of top-level healing abilities. In my opinion, with the current situation, it’s better to reveal it publicly. That way, you won’t have to hold back anymore, and you can win the favor of the Yun Family, making them your supporters.]
After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Tang found that the system made sense.
After exposing the healing ability, there are both advantages and disadvantages.
But overall, the advantages should outweigh the disadvantages.
Shen Tang looked at Yun Han, "Mr. Yun is a hero of our Empire. I can save him without needing anything from you in return."
This life would repay the original host, and from then on, they would owe each other nothing.
Yun Han was stunned by these words, his deep, sharp black eyes fixed on Shen Tang, seemingly trying to probe her real thoughts. Unfortunately, the female’s attitude was too cold and calm, with none of the previous obsessive persistence towards him.
His throat tightened, a sudden sense of loneliness and desolation filling his heart.
But at this moment, Yun Han couldn’t care about anything else. He quietly cleared a space beside the old wolf king, and Shen Tang walked over, knelt down, her fingertips emitting a pure green glow, full of vibrant life.
This was the first time she formally used the healing ability in front of others.
The beastmen present were all stunned, the voices of doubt gradually disappearing.
Even Yun Han held his breath, staring intently at Shen Tang, watching her movements, yet his gaze uncontrollably fell on her face... Considering their current relationship, his heart was filled with bitterness, and he lowered his gaze.
Everyone who came into contact with this power felt as if their bodies were gently wrapped by soft clouds, a pleasant and comfortable sensation, with injuries slowly healing—a miraculous and powerful effect!
The white wolf’s corpse, lying on the ground with blood nearly drained, was rapidly inflating under the green light like a balloon, with blood flowing back into the damaged body.
The dry, gray fur appeared to regain its vitality.
The large dark hole in its chest was also rapidly healing.
Seeing this transformation, Yun Han’s heart seemed to come alive again, shock appearing on his handsome and profound face!
But this was far from the end.
Being cut down directly was easy to handle; regenerating flesh was not difficult. But unfortunately, the heart of the Yun Family head was crushed on the spot by Zaxxis, making regenerating the heart a great challenge, requiring tremendous energy.
Shen Tang frowned, quickly grabbing Yun Han’s hand.
Yun Han’s body stiffened slightly, and then in the next second, he felt a sting in his palm!
Looking down, he saw Shen Tang holding his hand, mercilessly slicing a cut across it, the blood flowing along the palm lines, running down to the old wolf king’s body, seeping into the large hole in its chest.
Under the effect of the healing power, granulation tissue quickly spread across the wound, weaving together, filling the hole with fresh flesh.
Shen Tang’s healing ability is not omnipotent; it must be used within five minutes before the corpse is completely dead; otherwise, even immortals would be powerless to reverse it.
Shen Tang had to grasp every single second, for if she were late by half a second, the old head of the Yun Family would truly be beyond help!
Soon, the white wolf, declared dead by all present, suddenly twitched weakly a few times. Yun Han quickly retrieved a recovery potion from the space and fed it to the old white wolf after bandaging his hand.
The old white wolf slowly opened its eyes; the dilated pupils gradually focused, regaining the breath of a living being...
Seeing the head of the Yun Family awaken, Shen Tang also breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and said, "I fulfilled the promise I made to you."
The beastmen present were too shocked for words, witnessing this scene of resurrection.
No one expected their family head to truly return!
Even Princess Shen Tang could bring the dead back to life; what a heaven-defying power this is!
"Her Highness is incredible; the brothers will be saved on the battlefield in the future!"
"With Her Highness around, we can’t even die on the battlefield; I’m fearless! I’ll make the rebel army flee like crazy!"
After witnessing this scene,
morale soared, the troops’ hearts stabilized, and they became invincible.
Seeing the soldiers cheering, the chain in Shen Tang’s heart also loosened a bit, and she smiled lightly, "I understand everyone’s excitement, but don’t get complacent. Underestimating the enemy on the battlefield is a great taboo."
"There’s no invincible power in this world. My healing ability can’t truly bring the dead back to life; it can only heal when the body’s flesh hasn’t completely died yet."
As she spoke, Shen Tang turned to look at Yun Han and his father, regrettably, "Although I saved the old head, I am powerless against the shattered Crystal Core; Mr. Yun has lost his superpower and will only be an ordinary person in the future... I’ve helped as much as I can."
Yun Han did not have extravagant expectations; just saving his father’s life was enough!
"Thank you, Xiao Tang. We’ve got it from here; you should go rest for a while." Shen Li, seeing the sweat on Shen Tang’s forehead, walked over and gently wiped it with a clean towel, tenderly and considerately.
Before leaving, Shen Tang turned to look at Yun Han and spoke lightly, "I owe you nothing from now on."
Yun Han did not understand what she meant. To him, saving a cub from human traffickers when he was young was just a whim, quickly forgotten amidst laughter with his brothers. Besides, he didn’t know the original host’s identity at that time.
But at least, Shen Tang felt no guilt.
She had done her utmost for the Yun Family, both publicly and privately.
Yun Han looked at Shen Tang with complicated eyes, never imagining that one day it would be Shen Tang who bestowed favor upon the Yun Family—she had saved his father and son, and it was the Yun Family’s turn to owe her two lives; otherwise, the Yun Family might have ceased to exist.
Yun Hong, upon fully regaining consciousness from the chaos, was also deeply shocked.
He touched his intact chest; not even a wound remained, and the scene before death felt like a nightmare.
Yun Han recounted the events in detail to his father.
Yun Hong’s emotions were extremely complex, never imagining that the "Fake Princess" he once despised would save him! Even more shocking was a female awakening a healing ability, capable of bringing the dead back to life—a peerless miracle!
Though proud and arrogant, Yun Hong was not an unreasonable scoundrel.
To his life-saving benefactor, he felt only gratitude.
And to strong individuals, admiration.
Upon learning he had lost his superpower, he felt regret, but surviving such a disaster overwhelmed him with relief. After all, he was not young anymore and couldn’t match the young warriors. He had not expected to be killed in one blow by that leader. It was shameful to mention; the battlefield was never suitable for him. Retirement, pursuing self-cultivation, and managing household affairs would suffice for his later years.
Once Yun Hong regained mobility, he personally sought out Shen Tang to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your assistance. I, Yun Hong, will never forget your life-saving grace. The great kindness and virtue you’ve shown my Yun Family, we will repay with all our strength!"
He also offered his deepest apologies for the previous offense.
Indeed, he was blind to fail to recognize her, and now he deeply understood whom the Yun Family should truly support.
The Yun Family had always supported only the pure blood of the Royal Family. Yun Han and Shen Qingli were fond of each other, and the Yun Family’s support had always been for Shen Qingli. After today, however, the old head’s favoritism shifted toward Shen Tang.
Unnoticed in a corner, hidden in the shadows, Zaxxis was deeply shocked upon seeing this scene. The old man’s heart was clearly crushed by him, yet he still lived!
As the leader of the rebel army, even with his vast knowledge and many acquaintances among capable individuals, it was the first time he had encountered a superpower that could revive the dead!
And it came from a female!
Excitement flashed in Zaxxis’s eyes; he threw aside Shen Qingli’s instructions. Such a beautiful and powerful female—he could not bear to kill... he wanted to capture her alive!
The black shadow vanished into a spatial crevice, disappearing without a trace.
