Chapter 1889: Chapter 1887: Saved
Sima Xiaowen’s eyes were tightly closed, seemingly already unconscious. At this moment, Chu Chengfeng was also in a half-conscious state, yet he still remembered to create a space for Xiao Wen to survive.
But it was clear that he was at the end of his strength, which was why Elder Sima and Gu Qiaoqiao felt something was wrong earlier.
They should be credited for arriving just in time.
A little later, who knows what the situation would have been.
Immediately afterward, the other four elders also rushed over. For them, even if they couldn’t use Spiritual Fire, they certainly had great strength, so in the blink of an eye, they threw the large stone aside, and both Chu Chengfeng and Sima Xiaowen were saved.
Seemingly aware that someone had come to rescue them, Chu Chengfeng barely managed a glance, not even having time to ask what was going on before he fainted. Elder Sima held his daughter, while two other elders carefully lifted Chu Chengfeng and quickly ran back along the passage.
The Third Elder of the Phoenix Clan turned his head curiously before leaving, indeed confirming this was another world.
The sky was gray mixed with red, and black stones were everywhere.
Feeling the ground trembling, it seemed this place was on the verge of collapsing, and there was no trace of green in sight.
The Third Elder couldn’t help but shiver; such a place was truly terrifying, as there wasn’t a single living creature within his field of vision.
Once they were all out, Gu Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Without her support, in an instant, the passage closed, and the barrier disappeared. Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t even have time to see how Sima Xiaowen and Chu Chengfeng were before she fainted with her eyes closed.
Since there were other disciples waiting outside the woods, they quickly brought three bamboo stretchers and carried the three individuals swiftly toward the Divine Land.
When Gu Qiaoqiao woke up, it was already evening. To avoid scaring the two children, they hadn’t let her return to the courtyard but stayed in another side hall of the Divine Land Hall.
Chu Chengfeng had already woken up, having suffered some injuries on his back, and a clan doctor was treating him.
Xiao Wen had also woken up and was now by Gu Qiaoqiao’s bedside. Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao open her eyes, Sima Xiaowen’s eyes filled with tears of joy, "Qiaoqiao, you’re finally awake. You scared me to death."
For saving them, if Gu Qiaoqiao had come to harm, what would happen to Qin Yize and those two children?
Gu Qiaoqiao took a deep breath of fresh air, moved her fingers, then slowly sat up and checked herself. Fortunately, there was no problem, though she felt her fingers seemed different than usual.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at her right index finger with curiosity and suddenly noticed a faint red flame symbol on the pad of her right index finger.
Right in the center of the fingerprint, if not looked at carefully, it could be mistaken for part of the fingerprint.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes sparkled, as it seemed she had gained another ability.
Moreover, the thrilling part was that her Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation had finally succeeded.
She looked at Xiao Wen, finally curling her lips slightly, "Sister Xiao Wen, I’m glad you’re fine. Also, I’ve succeeded in the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation..."
Sima Xiaowen nodded happily, "Mm-hmm, I just heard from my father. Qiaoqiao, you’re really amazing."
"I suspect it has something to do with the abundant Spiritual Energy here, perhaps some other factors too. By the way, Sister Xiao Wen, have you not checked on Chu Chengfeng? Is he seriously injured?"
Sima Xiaowen hesitated for a moment, "I’ve already visited him. He’s indeed injured, but not seriously. He’ll recover with some care."
Then she sighed, "I didn’t expect him to react so quickly back then..."
She didn’t continue with her words, but her expression was clearly complex.
Between lovers, perhaps only in critical moments can you truly see if the other person cares about you.
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded and said, "A man keeping you in his heart isn’t just words. I remember reading a story where a radio host, who was very beautiful and had a gentle voice, captured a man’s heart.
He sent her gifts and flowers every day, picked her up from work, and was gentle and considerate. The female host was moved, and they got married. While honeymooning, they went travel and crossed a river by boat. Unfortunately, the boat capsized in the middle of the river, and a wooden plank drifted towards them. Unexpectedly, the man shoved her away and grabbed the plank for himself..."
Sima Xiaowen furrowed her brows tightly in anger and asked, "What happened after that?"
"Afterward, they were both rescued."
"I guess the host realized the man’s true nature, and they definitely couldn’t stay together."
"Exactly, the man didn’t expect his wife to be rescued too, and he regretted it, but the host couldn’t possibly forgive him. They ended up divorcing..."
Sima Xiaowen contemplated for a moment and then relaxed her brows, smiling at Gu Qiaoqiao, "You girl, where did you find such stories?"
Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled, "No matter what, Chu Chengfeng is a good man. Don’t miss out; it would be such a pity if you did."
"I know, of course. Alright, let’s not talk about this. Qiaoqiao, you should get out of bed for a walk and check if there’s any discomfort. We have several doctors here, and the equipment is quite comprehensive."
Gu Qiaoqiao got out of bed, put on her shoes, stretched her body, and sensed around, then smiled, "I’m fine now, all recovered."
Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao lively again, Sima Xiaowen finally felt completely relieved since she was unharmed, thanks to Chu Chengfeng’s excellent protection.
The two went to see Chu Chengfeng together. On the way, Gu Qiaoqiao curiously asked, "How did you end up in another world? The passage isn’t easy to open."
"Perhaps it was fate. Chu Chengfeng said he wanted to find the Imaginary land of joy and plenty where we once stayed, and then we reached the center of the meadow. Suddenly, the sky seemed to darken, and Chu Chengfeng held my hand, and we stepped into another world. Qiaoqiao, doesn’t that sound a bit eerie?"
Gu Qiaoqiao rubbed her arms, "If that was truly the Imaginary land of joy and plenty, you’d stay there forever. But the place you went to was terrifying, some unknown space without green, without life, and even the sky was different from ours."
