Chapter 475 Ye Shengsong Severely Injured
Ye Shengsong was sent flying by the impact, showing the force Shang Shaoyan had used.
"Sheng Song! Are you alright?"
Min Hang, while fighting Shang Shaoyan, shouted to Ye Shengsong.
"Cough, cough, I'm fine!"
Ye Shengsong felt like she was about to fall apart, but she quickly got up and ran in another direction. She absolutely could not be caught, nor could she run into the cave and drag everyone down.
Shang Shaoyan, entangled by Min Hang, was furious. Seeing Ye Shengsong running further and further away only fueled his anger. He directly went for Min Hang's life, even breaking Min Hang's leg.
Min Hang, enduring intense pain, fell to the ground and reached out to grab Shang Shaoyan's leg, refusing to let go, all to buy Ye Shengsong time. At this moment, everyone else was also entangled, and no one could save Ye Shengsong.
"Min Hang, I didn't want to kill you, but you forced me to."
"You can kill me, but you still won't catch Ye Shengsong. Brother Sheng will avenge me. Do you know what it means to be cut into a thousand pieces? Hahahahaha."
Shang Shaoyan's eyes were bloodshot. He raised his foot to kick Min Hang's head.
"Ah— bad guy!"
No one saw a little girl suddenly run over and leap towards Shang Shaoyan.
"No, Tiantian."
Min Hang saw it as Shang Shaoyan forcefully threw Little Tiantian away. He roared with tearing eyes and desperately crawled towards where Little Tiantian had been thrown.
At this time, Shang Shaoyan couldn't bother with Min Hang anymore; Mo Lin had him occupied.
"I'll kill you, you traitor, for harming my sister."
Now, everyone from the cave, except those holding babies, had come out. Shang Shaoyan himself had five or six people clinging to him. Although their combat strength was not high, they could still desperately hold onto him.
"Little Tiantian, how are you? Little Tiantian, you spoke just now, didn't you?"
Min Hang crawled to Little Tiantian's side. Seeing the unconscious girl, he pulled her into his arms. His hands trembled as he felt her pulse. Knowing that Little Tiantian had only fainted, he buried his head in her shoulder and shed tears.
When Gong Wentao arrived with his men, a crowd lay on the ground. Even his wife was injured and unable to move.
"Fangni, how are you?"
Sun Fangni smiled weakly at her man.
"I'm fine. Go save Sheng Song quickly. Shang something chased Sheng Song that way, and we couldn't stop him."
"You lie down and don't move. I'll go after them immediately."
Gong Wentao left two people behind and chased after them with his men. When Zi Yisheng arrived, he immediately felt his legs go weak upon not seeing his wife.
"Go north quickly, they've all gone to find Sheng Song."
Min Hang, holding Little Tiantian, shouted to Zi Yisheng. At this point, he couldn't feel the pain from Elder Fan's heavy blows.
"Zi Yisheng, Shang Shaoyan broke my leg. You have to help me break both of his legs, into eight pieces."
Zi Yisheng struggled to keep going, desperately running. He wished Shang Shaoyan wouldn't be ruthless, given his past affection for his wife. In reality, Zi Yisheng had completely forgotten that his wife had a life-saving trump card.
Meanwhile, Ye Shengsong had long since hidden in her spatial dimension. However, she was extremely anxious, worrying deeply about her family and the children in the cave.
Just as Ye Shengsong was preparing all sorts of "weapons" in her space capable of killing Shang Shaoyan, she heard footsteps outside the space.
Looking out, she saw Shang Shaoyan. Ye Shengsong couldn't understand why they were fighting Shang Shaoyan, and for the first time, Ye Shengsong wanted to kill him with her own hands.
As Shang Shaoyan roamed nearby, Ye Shengsong unhesitatingly scattered countless medicinal powders outside, trying a bit of everything.
Just as Shang Shaoyan realized something was wrong, Ye Shengsong flashed out from behind him, stabbed him in the back with a knife, and then disappeared.
Shang Shaoyan, already poisoned, stumbled from this wound, though not deep, and quickly turned towards the direction of the stab.
But he saw no one. He seemed to have thought of something.
"Ye Shengsong, you are indeed different. Let me guess how you did it?"
Ye Shengsong, inside her space, watched Shang Shaoyan as if he were already dead. This man had to die; only the dead could keep secrets.
Ye Shengsong waited, waiting for the poison to spread deeper. Who told him not to move?
"I always felt you were special. It turns out Zi Yisheng discovered your special nature early on and acted so quickly, didn't he?"
"But it makes sense. If I had known earlier, I would never have given up. After all, you are not only the cherished daughter of the Ye family, but with Ye Huaijin and Ye Mu'en, two formidable generals, whoever obtains you gains a great advantage.
And the Bai family, what a financial pillar that is. Zi Yisheng just saw it clearer than I did, otherwise, I would be the one winning now.
Do you guess if he truly loves you or if he's after everything you bring? I think he values power more, after all, it's very attractive, isn't it?"
Ye Shengsong sat in her space, listening to Shang Shaoyan's instigation. She had never realized Shang Shaoyan had such a despicable side.
"Cough, cough, cough, hehe, as expected, you are the most venomous woman. You've poisoned again, but you don't know my body is more resistant to poison than ordinary people?"
"Is that so?"
Shang Shaoyan didn't even see how she appeared before he felt a stab to his chest.
Ye Shengsong even twisted the knife forcefully, but she underestimated the man's strength. Shang Shaoyan raised his hand and grabbed Ye Shengsong's neck.
"Actually, dying with you is also good. That way, in the next life, I will be the winner."
Ye Shengsong clawed at Shang Shaoyan's hand with one hand and quickly grabbed another dagger with the other, stabbing him fiercely in the stomach, again and again.
"I, I won't die!"
A large amount of blood gushed from Shang Shaoyan's mouth, but he still laughed, forcefully choking Ye Shengsong's neck, with the determination to drag her to death with him.
Ye Shengsong could no longer breathe and couldn't break free from Shang Shaoyan's grip. Her head began to feel hazy, but she knew she had to save herself. With her last breath, she pulled out the knife and plunged it into Shang Shaoyan's neck.
Blood spurted out, splashing all over Ye Shengsong's face, blinding her eyes.
Ye Shengsong didn't see Shang Shaoyan's wide-open eyes because she had already fainted from severe oxygen deprivation.
When Gong Wentao arrived, he saw two bloodied figures lying together.
"Sheng Song!"
Gong Wentao quickly pulled Shang Shaoyan's hand from Ye Shengsong's neck and felt for her breath. There was none.
"Sheng Song, wake up. Think of Zi Yisheng, think of the two children."
Gong Wentao shouted as he laid Ye Shengsong flat. Disregarding the impropriety between genders, he unbuttoned her collar and clasped his hands together, pressing forcefully on Ye Shengsong's chest.
Zi Yisheng also ran over. Seeing Gong Wentao's actions, he knew his wife had stopped breathing. He immediately rushed over to assist Gong Wentao, breathing into his wife's mouth.
These emergency measures were all promoted by Ye Huaijin throughout the army, who said that this method might save a life.
"Sheng Song, I've come to pick you up. Wake up quickly."
Ye Shengsong felt a strange force pulling her into darkness, struggling to breathe, and her chest ached terribly.
But in her daze, she heard someone calling her. The voice was familiar, but her mind couldn't recall who it was.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough."
"She's awake, she's awake!"
Zi Yisheng saw his wife open her eyes and then close them again. Before he could be happy, he quickly leaned over his wife's chest to listen for her heartbeat. When he heard it, Zi Yisheng cried.
Gong Wentao also slumped to the side, his strength drained. He looked at the blood-covered Shang Shaoyan and asked his subordinate.
"Is he dead?"
"Yes, completely dead."
"Give him two more blows. Consider it revenge for Min Hang."
Zi Yisheng held his wife and glanced at Shang Shaoyan, his voice cold.
"Throw him into the mountains to be fed to wild beasts. Make sure to watch him being gnawed clean before leaving."
"Yes!"
Zi Yisheng quickly carried his wife away. He needed to find Elder Fan to examine her.
As Zi Yisheng walked, he held his wife's face tightly against his, constantly feeling her body temperature.
Near the cave, he saw Mother Ye running towards them. Seeing her daughter covered in blood and unconscious, she cried out her daughter's name in grief and despair.
"Sheng Song, Sheng Song, my precious daughter, what happened to you?"
Gong Wentao beside Zi Yisheng quickly supported Mother Ye, who was about to fall.
"Mom, Sheng Song has fainted. Let's quickly have Master take a look."
"Right, let's go quickly."
Mother Ye hurried to find Elder Fan and Elder Dang. As many people were injured, the two masters had been busy.
Upon hearing Mother Ye's voice, neither master could attend to anything else and ran as fast as they could.
"Where is Sheng Song? What happened to Sheng Song?"
Mo Lin was nearby. He immediately carried one person on his back towards his sister, holding back tears.
Everyone, whether injured or not, rushed towards Ye Shengsong. Grandma Bai, holding her chest, was helped along, desperately forcing herself to persevere.
Upon seeing her youngest disciple's state, Elder Fan's heart sank. He quickly took her pulse, but the more he checked, the deeper his frown became.
Zi Yisheng had not let go of his wife. He was afraid, truly afraid that his wife would have an accident.
At this moment, Elder Dang was also carried over. As soon as he touched her, he also frowned.
"What happened to my Nannan? How could this be?"
Grandma Bai covered her mouth, afraid to cry loudly, and leaned on Aunt Bai, unable to stand.
"Take her to the cave first, clean Sheng Song up. I need to give her acupuncture, her heart condition has relapsed."
Zi Yisheng's heart sank further and further. He thought his wife would never have a heart condition again. How ruthless had Shang Shaoyan been?
Zi Yisheng quickly carried his wife into the cave. He didn't let anyone else touch her. He quickly stripped her clothes, cleaned the blood from her body and face, and his eyes darkened as he saw the increasingly black and purple finger marks on her neck.
After changing his wife's clothes, he stayed by her side. Mother Ye also forced back her tears and stayed. The others waited outside the cave.
Min Hang, leaning on a wooden stick with one leg, also waited outside. Little Tiantian had already woken up and was waiting with Mo Lin, who was carrying her.
The Bai brothers were covered in injuries, but not one of them was willing to rest. Even if they couldn't stand, they sat by the cave entrance, unwilling to leave.
Chen Tangtang had long since abandoned her children and held her mother-in-law, weeping silently.
"Why does Sheng Song have a heart condition? I saw marks on her neck like someone was choking her, and she's covered in blood. I don't know..."
"Shut up. You don't need to repeat how badly Sheng Song is injured. No one wants to hear you speak right now."
Chen Tangtang was like a firecracker, easily ignited. She didn't want to hear anyone speak ill of Sheng Song, not anyone.
"I didn't say anything, you!"
"Shut up!"
Luo Xueli was startled by Bai Chufan's angry shout. She hadn't said anything, and she had only said what she saw. Why were they all scolding her!
Aunt Bai also gave her daughter-in-law a stern glare. If you can't speak properly, then shut up.
Grandma Bai was too weak to speak. Her legs had long been unable to stand, and her head was spinning terribly.
"Let her leave."
"Yes, Mom, don't be angry."
Aunt Bai gave her son a look and no longer looked at her daughter-in-law.
Zi Yisheng looked at his wife covered in needles and regretted not keeping a better eye on Shang Shaoyan. Was he too arrogant, always feeling that everything was under his control, yet he had harmed his wife.
"Send people to find the medicine. Hurry!"
Zi Yisheng, holding the prescription from Elder Dang, ran out immediately and handed the prescription to Gong Wentao.
"Go get the medicine immediately. Anyone who tries to stop you, detain them. Hurry!"
"Yes!"
Gong Wentao, without even a glance at his parents or wife, quickly ran off with two subordinates.
Mother Ye just wanted her daughter to wake up quickly. She had all sorts of special medicines for heart disease in her space. If she had known, she would have kept some outside. Now, she could only worry anxiously without medicine.
"Wuwuwu, Mommy, I want Mommy."
"Wuwuwu~~~"
The children in the neighboring cave cried in competition. Aunt Zhen was also sweating anxiously.
"Go and take care of the children. They were all badly frightened just now."
Aunt Bai gave an order. Staying here wouldn't help much.
Chen Tangtang directly pushed her mother-in-law away. She wanted to stay and wait. Xia Hong couldn't bear to hear the children crying and quickly went to comfort them.
Meanwhile, Luo Xueli was pulled aside by Bai Chufan. Luo Xueli looked at her husband's still bleeding wounds and felt heartbroken. When she reached out to touch his face, he dodged.
"Chufan, does it hurt?"
Bai Chufan remembered a question his mother had asked him at the time: "Don't regret it!" He had confidently said he wouldn't.
In fact, he still didn't regret it. Luo Xueli's thoughtless words were because her life had been too comfortable, and he hadn't had the chance to teach her properly.
There were many people in the cave every day. Bai Chufan thought that when they returned to Mingcheng, he would hand-teach his wife how to be a woman who could shoulder the role of the eldest sister-in-law. In reality, he didn't ask much of Luo Xueli.
"Xueli, don't make me regret marrying you."
Luo Xueli looked surprised and sad. She truly didn't understand what she had done so unforgivable to make him have thoughts of regret.
"It's not unforgivable, but you always do and say things that touch upon others' taboos without realizing it. I used to think you were endearingly silly, but now I know you're just not smart."
Luo Xueli admitted she wasn't smart and had been very careful with her words.
"I was really careful with my words, and I didn't intend to do anything to anyone."
Bai Chufan sighed, still showing Luo Xueli the utmost patience.
"Fortunately, you didn't have malicious intent towards anyone, but the problem is that you offend people without realizing it.
Never mind. Don't speak carelessly lately. When we go back, I'll teach you slowly. Besides, Grandma and Mom are not petty people. Once you learn how to behave, everything will be fine."
"Okay, I'll study hard. Don't be angry with me."
"I won't be angry. I also have a responsibility."
