Her eyes were dry and she blinked slightly, her mind still muddled, but the events before her coma replayed automatically, frame by frame, in her mind.
She was going mad again; the rebound of the Devouring God Gu was getting worse.
Just then, a squeaking sound suddenly pierced into her brain, and she suddenly clutched her head, moaning in pain.
"Baobao?" The man’s alarmed voice came from beside her, and Dong Huiying, enduring the pain, turned to look at the ragged man beside the bed. She saw concern and helplessness written all over his face.
Liang Yuening, was it Liang Yuening... why was he here?
He had lost weight, so much weight, and he looked so unkempt.
How had he gotten himself into this state?
That’s right, Liang Zhichen had said that after she left, this foolish man had foolishly traversed the land on foot, relying solely on his mouth to ask around, one person after another, just to find her...
Because of the headache, her complexion was deathly pale.
"What’s wrong? What’s wrong?"
Liang Yuening did not know what to do, but it was obvious that she was in great pain.
His shouting disturbed Liang Zhichen and Shen Qiu Yang outside, and the two rushed in immediately.
While Shen Qiu Yang was down the mountain, Liang Zhichen had spent nearly half a month with Dong Huiying. He had seen her go mad before. Seeing her now with a scrunched-up, bloodless face, he knew she must be having another episode.
"Qiu Yang, come here, help me hold her down!"
Zhi Chen was truly scared now! Before, he could understand why she did not want others to witness her madness. She took the Gu Pills in secret, away from him, because she feared hurting him if she lost control.
However, ever since she had nearly been buried alive in the cave, he had sworn in his heart that no matter what, even if her mind was compromised, even if she was manipulated by the Devouring God Gu, even if she really lost control and hurt him, he would not care.
All because no matter what, he could not leave her alone, could not let her lock herself away in some secluded place, to bear that pain and torture alone!
Shen Qiu Yang held down Dong Huiying’s legs while Liang Zhichen brought several quilts, wrapped her up in them, and then used a rope to tie her up tightly. Yet even so, he was still extremely worried...
With her Innate Divine Strength, if she broke free...
With that thought, Liang Zhichen immediately called out, "Qiu Yang!"
Shen Qiu Yang got the message and dashed out. When she returned, she was carrying a set of iron chains.
Zhi Chen used the iron chains to bind her several times over, working up a sweat in the process, while Liang Yuening had already been scared stiff by this display.
He came to his senses, looking annoyed, and glared at Liang Zhichen furiously.
He was about to scold him, but suddenly, "—Shut up!"
Zhi Chen’s expression was extremely stern, and his authority instantly silenced Yue Ning.
Dong Huiying was tied up like a zongzi; lying on the bed, she was screaming, in too much pain to handle.
This time, the backlash of the Devouring God Gu was more vicious than ever before; she had a foreboding feeling.
She recalled how she had been hit on the head, bleeding from a wound, during the cave collapse...
She suddenly had a guess!
To add insult to injury!
Originally, because of the hematoma in her head, the Devouring God Gu was confined to a certain area, exerting very little influence on her, only causing trouble when she drove it to desperation. However, if the hematoma dissolved, the Devouring God Gu would no longer be contained; the implications were unthinkable!
Shen Qiu Yang was also terrified, "What on earth is going on? From her previous condition, she should have just had an episode, so how come she just woke up and turned into this again?"
