Seeing such a situation, Cong Lv and Xue Xiang both showed joy on their faces, and a proud expression once again flared in Xue Pianran’s eyes.
Ye Lingyue frowned and gazed intently at the child’s complexion.
Despite all external wounds appearing healed, the child’s face still didn’t look good; his eyelids twitched, signaling that he would wake up soon.
Yun Sheng at her side snorted lightly, with an attitude of waiting to watch a good show.
Xue Pianran had expended a good amount of Star Power to heal the child almost completely before retracting the power.
The child in Feng Xun’s arms was already awake. He opened his eyes in confusion and burst into tears when he saw his mother.
The woman, seeing her child awake, cried tears of joy, holding the child and weeping with him.
"Now, we should be even," Xue Pianran said, wiping the sweat from her forehead with pride.
No sooner had she spoken when the child screamed, clutching his head and yelling about a headache, rolling on the ground in pain.
"It hurts, it hurts so much, my head’s going to explode."
The sudden turn of events changed the expression of those who had been admiring Xue Pianran’s medical skills.
The color drained from Xue Pianran’s face as she watched the child in panic, unsure of what she had done wrong.
"You malicious woman, you want to kill my child, give me back my child, give back my child!"
The woman, as if falling from heaven into hell, rushed forward in anger and panic, and started to fight with Xue Pianran.
"Get off, you filthy beggar, don’t touch our Heavenly Maiden," Xue Xiang, also shocked, made a move to push the woman away.
"Everyone look, these nobles from Beiqing don’t regard Daxia’s citizens as human beings. What about beggars, are they not human? Drive them out of Daxia," Ye Lingyue stirred up trouble from the sidelines.
Her words were like pouring oil on the fire, and the surrounding crowd surged forward, ignoring the guards and Cong Lv’s attempts to stop them, and started pulling and dragging Xue Pianran and Xue Xiang.
Xue Pianran intended to resist, but in the chaos, her Crystal Ball rolled to the ground. Moreover, she had depleted a lot of her Star Power to heal the child, and her strength was failing her now.
Both women screamed in misery, their hair disheveled, their clothes torn; someone, no idea who, even spat thick phlegm on Xue Pianran’s face.
"Stand back, or don’t blame me for being impolite," Cong Lv bellowed angrily, his powerful Primordial Power flooding out like a tide.
The crowd that had enclosed them was swept back by the force of the Primordial Power, stumbling away.
Looking again at Xue Pianran, surrounded by the crowd, her clothes were in tatters, exposing her fair shoulders and legs. As for her maid Xue Xiang, having provoked public rage, her condition was even worse. She now lay on the ground, her nose knocked crooked, several teeth broken, having passed out.
Yun Sheng sneered from the sidelines; she was confident in undoing her own treatments just as well as she could heal.
Did they really think that everyone could afford Medicine Buddha Yun Sheng’s treatments?
Cong Lv’s face turned ashen; he glanced at Yun Sheng and hesitated, knowing that today, with Yun Sheng present, Xue Pianran would not gain any advantage.
He took off his clothing and picked up Xue Pianran, ready to leave.
"Thinking of leaving? First, keep your promise. Just now, that woman said she’d kneel and apologize if the boy wasn’t restored to his original state," Yun Sheng stepped beside Cong Lv and stretched out a hand to stop them.
Her frame was much smaller than the burly Cong Lv.
But simply by standing there, her presence made the battle-hardened Cong Lv feel apprehensive.
"Elder, to err is human, to forgive, divine," Cong Lv said in a muffled voice.
The Xue Pianran in his arms was also shivering, looking at Yun Sheng with eyes as if she had seen a ghost.
"Cut the crap, when your people were hitting that kid, did you ever think about showing mercy when possible? Let me tell you, if she doesn’t kneel down and apologize today, I’ll break her legs!" As Yun Sheng finished speaking, she flicked her fingertips, and a streak of golden light flashed by. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
Several thin needles, the thickness of hair, fell to the ground, and instantly a large crater more than a foot in radius exploded on the surface.
Looking at the woman before her, her delicate face held a hint of evil, and the air around her seemed to freeze.
"Elder..." Cong Lv was at a loss for words.
Xue Pianran in Cong Lv’s arms softly spoke.
"Brother Cong, let me down."
Xue Pianran stood up, her face a mixture of shame and annoyance.
She knew this woman must be acquainted with Ye Lingyue, but to beg Ye Lingyue, she would rather smash her head and die.
Xue Pianran’s eyes flickered, a layer of grievance coloring her beautiful eyes, as she pleaded and looked towards Feng Xun.
"Xue Pianran, since you brought this disaster upon yourself, you should bear the consequences." Feng Xun’s eyes were undisturbed, and his voice was cold to the extreme.
Xue Pianran’s body trembled, and she shouted out of voice.
"Enough with the nonsense, making such a fuss about an apology as if it’s a matter of life and death, you’re not tired of it, but I am," Yun Sheng said irritably.
What she hated the most was this type of sanctimonious ’white lotus’, Xue Pianran was better off silent, but once she spoke, it made Yun Sheng even angrier.
With a flick of her fingertips, two streams of Dark Force shot out, and Xue Pianran felt her knees buckle, her kneecaps heavily smashing onto the ground.
This kneel shattered her kneecaps into pieces.
Xue Pianran’s face turned deathly pale, and she almost fainted.
Cong Lv’s heart couldn’t bear it, and he tried to step forward but was stopped by a look from Feng Xun, who shook his head, reminding Cong Lv that trying to help would only make things worse.
What Xue Pianran did today truly chilled Feng Xun’s heart.
Xue Pianran shook all over, and after a long while, she finally said to the mother and child.
"I am sorry, please forgive us both."
The child was still in non-stop headache, the woman holding him cried out, paying no heed to Xue Pianran.
"You all can get lost." Yun Sheng snorted coldly.
She had her limits; after all, the other party was the Heavenly Maiden of Beiqing, and if she really finished her off, it would only trouble her precious daughter Ye Lingyue.
"Son-in-law... Young man, help me carry this child and find a quiet place, I need to heal him." Yun Sheng turned her face and put on a smile more radiant than flowers.
That speed of changing expressions left Feng Xun somewhat flattered.
Ye Lingyue, standing aside, was scornful, not expecting that Lady Ye would be so superficial, not knowing that for Yun Sheng, it was a mother-in-law seeing her son-in-law, the more she looked, the more she liked.
Feng Xun looked around and saw Drunk Immortal Inn not far away, so he simply carried the child and headed towards Drunk Immortal Inn.
"Hey hey, what happened, you’re saying Xue Pianran and her Maid were just beaten by someone? Such a good thing, why didn’t you call me, I could have gone and slapped them a few good ones."
Seeing Feng Xun holding the child, Ye Lingyue walked into Drunk Immortal Inn with Yun Sheng, and the belated realization came over Lan Cai’er as she hurried over to greet them.
