Chapter 23: Afraid of pain, but not of death.
Hearing Nangong Yi's complaints, Qian Daoliu approached with a scowl on his face.
"I just said I'd do it, but you insisted on doing it yourself, and now you're blaming me?"
When Bibi Dong's hand had plunged into Nangong Yi's chest, he'd truly thought the boy was dead!
Who knew he loved showing off so much?
"You do it? Do you have the guts to wake her up?" Nangong Yi scoffed.
"How could a bunch of you, reckless men who only know how to fight and kill, pull off such a cool move like I did just now?"
Qian Daoliu's eyes twitched.
What time was it? Still showing off?
"Don't move." Qian Daoliu activated his six-winged angel spirit, reached out, and placed his hand on Nangong Yi's shoulder, directing the divine power within him to flow into his body, protecting his heart meridians.
"Pull it out slowly."
"Stop!"
Nangong Yi interrupted Bibi Dong just as she was about to pull her wrist.
"I'll do it myself," he said, grasping Bibi Dong's wrist and slowly pulling it out at a speed undetectable to the naked eye.
Ten seconds passed, and Bibi Dong's hand didn't seem to budge at all.
"You...are you afraid of death?" Qian Renxue said with a strange expression.
This bastard had been so stubborn earlier, insisting on challenging her mother to a duel. He'd assumed this guy was completely indifferent to life and death.
Nangong Yi glared at Qian Renxue. "I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of the pain!" "
Rip it out! "
It hurts so damn much!
"..."
Another minute passed, and Bibi Dong's hand, still held in Nangong Yi's grasp, showed no sign of moving.
Bibi Dong's expression grew increasingly strange.
How afraid of pain was this guy?
"At your speed, I'm afraid you might not be able to pull it out even if it scabs over?" Qian Renxue complained.
"Try it?!" Nangong Yi glared at Qian Renxue again.
"This is ripping your heart out!"
"Do you know how painful it is?"
Qian Renxue turned her head away, feeling somewhat guilty. It seemed that Nangong Yi had been stabbed this way because of the feud between her mother and her father.
"And you!" Nangong Yi glared at Bibi Dong.
"Why did you have to poke me here when you couldn't just poke me somewhere else?"
"You just want to tell me something from the heart, right?"
"You don't have to poke me from the heart, just say it, I'm not going to listen."
"Uh..." Bibi Dong looked embarrassed.
She had just lost her mind, her instinct was to kill, so not poking him in the head was already quite nice.
"No, could you please hurry up?" Qian Daoliu complained.
"Do you know that the image you were trying so hard to show off just now has been practically destroyed by you in just a few minutes?"
The man who had been so tough and cool just a moment ago now acted like a child who was afraid of pain.
What a contrast, wow.
But it did fit the boy's current image.
"You..." Nangong Yi hesitated, letting go of Bibi Dong's wrist.
"Pull it out yourself, I can't bring myself to do it."
"Really?" Bibi Dong looked puzzled.
So cowardly?
And then what about that time he was trying so hard to show off by standing in front of her?
Nangong Yi steeled himself, closed his eyes, and turned away.
"Pull it out!"
"Really?"
"Pull it out! "
"I'll pull it out?"
"You pull it out!"
"..."
"Have you pulled it out?" Nangong Yi asked, eyes closed.
"No." Bibi Dong had already pulled her hand out.
The angelic power that Qian Daoliu had injected into Nangong Yi's body had already protected his vital parts. The reason she pulled it out slowly was because she was worried that too much movement would puncture his heart meridians.
The soul power of a ninety-nine-level demigod, peerless Douluo, was not difficult to stabilize this minor injury that was not fatal.
"No, hurry up!" Nangong Yi urged.
When Nangong City was invaded as a child, he'd been shot with an arrow that nearly killed him.
Back then, he hadn't known the arrowhead had a barb!
He gritted his teeth and ripped it out himself!
The pain nearly killed him!
He wasn't afraid of anything else, but the pain of pulling something out was a real psychological scar!
He simply couldn't pull it out!
"..."
Even as Nangong Yi closed his eyes, waiting for Bibi Dong to pull her hand free, the atmosphere at the scene had already reached a tense state.
Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu exchanged a silent stare.
The other priests remained on guard, preventing outsiders from observing the situation. Even the Titled Douluo Elders who had come to investigate were kept outside.
Qian Renxue, unaware of the grudges between the adults, was simply overwhelmed by the current atmosphere.
Hu Liena, oblivious to everything else, remained completely focused on Nangong Yi.
Time ticked by.
Nangong Yi couldn't help himself and quietly opened one eye, glancing at his chest.
"Huh? When did you pull it out?"
Bibi Dong turned her head and looked at Nangong Yi with a gentle gaze. "Just now."
"Did it hurt?"
"Ahem!" Nangong Yi coughed twice and stood up again.
"Who do you think I am? I'm afraid of pain?"
"It's just a minor injury, not worth mentioning?"
Hu Liena looked peculiar. "Then why are your legs shaking? Aren't you afraid?"
"Trembling legs?" Nangong Yi was stunned and looked down at his lower body, which felt as if it had been electrocuted.
No, his whole body was shaking!
Damn!
Before he could say anything, Nangong Yi's eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.
Seeing Nangong Yi about to fall to the ground, Hu Liena and Qian Renxue were about to attack, but Bibi Dong was quicker and picked Nangong Yi up.
"I hurt him, I will take good care of him, great priest, I'm sorry I can't see you off."
"Nana, follow me."
With that, Bibi Dong carried the unconscious Nangong Yi and turned to leave.
Without even glancing at Qian Renxue.
Hu Liena, completely oblivious to the situation, glanced questioningly at the unfamiliar blonde woman before her, bowed to Qian Daoliu, and quickly followed Bibi Dong.
"..."
Qian Renxue looked at the departing Bibi Dong with a complicated expression.
He ignored her again. Was she really that insufferable?
"Grandpa." Qian Renxue turned to look at Qian Daoliu.
She had just witnessed with her own eyes her mother trying to kill her father!
She saw that mad murderous intent clearly!
"My dad..."
"Xiaoxue, let's talk about this later," Qian Daoliu interrupted.
"You can't appear in public, go back quickly."
"...Okay."
Seeing Qian Daoliu unwilling to talk, Qian Renxue stopped asking questions and turned to leave.
"High Priest, I'm afraid this matter can't be kept secret anymore." Golden Crocodile approached.
He was one of the few people who knew the full story.
If Qian Renxue knew about this, the child would definitely be in trouble!
"Let's take it one step at a time."
Qian Daoliu sighed heavily.
How should this be explained?
Tell Qian Renxue that her father raped her mother and gave birth to her, and then her mother killed her father?
It's easy to say, but what about Qian Renxue, who is at the center of this matter?
The father who was so tall and majestic in her heart turned out to be that kind of person?
How should she face her own existence?
How should a proud and proud girl face this reality?
"..."
"What happened here today must not be spread. A complete blockade." Qian Daoliu turned around.
"Also, it's time to purge the spies in Wuhun City to avoid any leaks."
"Understood."
"Leave no one alive!"
