Capítulo 1088: Chapter 854: Why Do You Look Different?
Mu Fan’s voice made the air in the corridor suddenly feel stagnant.
“Faint life force…”
Lu Qingxue closed her eyes, in the Spiritual Vision, she could faintly sense a flickering Life Fire on the other side of the wall, seemingly on the verge of extinguishing.
Mu Fan nodded, and after exchanging glances, the two headed towards the room marked B005 together.
The right hand covered in dark golden armor was placed on the door once again, and with a soft “click” the cabin door was invaded at close range.
Subsequently, the tightly closed cabin door gently opened.
A burst of fresh air from nature overflowed from inside, causing a small surprise in their hearts.
When they saw the entire cabin environment in the corridor, Mu Fan felt emotional.
Mu Rensheng had arranged his cabin to be so friendly and natural, but his humanity had completely perished.
At this moment, a faint sound came from inside.
Mu Fan glanced at Lu Qingxue and strode into the cabin.
A thin figure… tied by vines to the wall, dressed in tattered clothes and covered in wounds, the healthy skin tone and body contour indicate it’s a female.
“Not part of the Blood Teeth Team.”
“She must have been captured by Mu Rensheng.”
The two did not rush to rescue, because caution in such situations is never a bad thing.
But when the girl lowered her head slightly, revealing pointed ears.
Mu Fan’s pupils instantly contracted.
“Rescue.”
The voice remained where it was, while he was already in front of the girl.
His right hand formed a blade with his fingers and slashed like lightning across the wall, causing the girl’s tightly tied hands to droop weakly, Mu Fan stepped forward to support her, then squatted down to sever the vines on her ankles.
The wounded girl lay entirely in Mu Fan’s arms.
It seemed the momentary movement made her feel something, although she didn’t open her eyes, she murmured lightly, “Wood God… Your devoted follower… has returned.”
Wood God…
The familiar term.
Mu Fan’s eyes finally showed surprise.
…
The girl only felt her body falling softly from the air, then being held by strong, firm arms.
Yet, she didn’t feel any warmth, the cold sensation felt like icy armor.
However, she thought this was the most peaceful moment these days.
As if when Father went to war and wore his armor… I used to always rely on Father’s embrace when I was little.
“Father, did you come to take Sinya away, Sinya misses you, Sinya will never wander again…”
The girl murmured, she was ready to return to the Wood God.
Legend has it that when a Wood God’s descendant is about to return to the Stars, they always see the closest person coming to lead them.
Now, she saw Father, which meant she was at the point of exhaustion.
Only…
After more than ten seconds, she still felt the cold armor didn’t move.
Her consciousness didn’t fade away either.
Instead, she heard a faint voice of confusion by her ear.
“Do you have a fever?”
Then a cold hand was placed on her forehead.
The girl shivered, suddenly opened her eyes.
Then she saw herself in the embrace of dark golden armor, surrounded by a soft blue glow, one hand placed on her forehead.
As she lifted her eyelids, she happened to meet those calm eyes.
Mu Fan looked at the girl who hadn’t gotten up from his arms, he clearly saw the confusion in her eyes.
Then…
The girl blinked.
“Father, why have you changed appearance?”
Upon hearing this, Mu Fan was finally able to confirm.
He turned to Lu Qingxue, “Her body temperature is high, possibly causing hallucinations.”
Lu Qingxue observed the girl’s face, with her youthful features, indicating her age was likely no more than sixteen.
Upon hearing Mu Fan’s words, she handed over a white fruit, “Squeeze out some of its juice for her.”
Mu Fan took the Frost Fruit, suspended it above the girl’s dried lips, gently squeezed it, and the glistening droplets of juice dripped down and settled in her mouth.
The cool sensation, carrying immense vitality, instantly surged through her body, and at this moment the girl’s half-awake mind fully awoke.
Her pupils instantly flashed with alertness, she tried to push Mu Fan away, but when her hand fell on the strong and majestic chest, it was like a small wave hitting a rock, unable to stir a ripple.
She was too weak, too weak to have any strength left.
Her wary gaze fixed on Mu Fan, “Who are you all?”
“…Where’s that cursed wooden soul?”
Mu Fan handed the fruit to the girl, nodded, and only after those hesitant, scarred delicate hands took it, did he calmly speak: “All dead.”
The girl was silent for a moment as if she hadn’t heard clearly and threw a questioning glance, but after five seconds… she seemed struck by lightning, her teeth clenched tightly.
She grasped Mu Fan’s arm tightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
“You said, that wooden man is dead, his life is gone?”
Mu Fan still maintained his stance supporting the girl’s body, looked down at those tear-brimmed eyes, nodded, and his deep voice came through the face armor:
“Mu Rensheng, Iron Man, Ice Snake, Night Ghost, Poison King, all dead. Now I’m here checking the spoils and saw you.”
Seeing the serenity reflected in those calm eyes, the girl inexplicably chose to believe instantly.
Large teardrops finally couldn’t help but slide down her cheeks.
Then she collapsed in Mu Fan’s arms and cried loudly.
Mu Fan stayed standing like this, allowing the newly rescued girl to vent her emotions.
Imagine what kind of despair this girl might have experienced these days.
Finally tired of crying or feeling bouts of weakness and dizziness, the girl stopped crying, her eyes red as she looked at Mu Fan, the armored man in front of her, although not her father.
But in this moment, in her heart, that figure looked so much like Father.
Lu Qingxue, quietly standing by, noticed the injuries on the girl’s wrists and ankles, took out recovery ointment and a small stack of gauze from her armbag.
Then she raised one of the girl’s arms to apply the ointment.
Lu Qingxue saw the unusual look in Mu Fan’s eyes, as if there was something he wanted to ask.
It’s just that men ultimately aren’t attentive enough to girls.
This girl, after continuous mental stimulation, might soon be weak.
“Calm your emotions, don’t worry, you’re safe now.”
The clear, cool voice by her ear inexplicably calmed her mind.
The girl looked in amazement at Lu Qingxue, with her features like a painting, lowering her head to apply medicine, feeling as if everything was in a dream.
In adversity for too long, she kept repeatedly confirming everything she saw now.
“Thank you, thank you both… I thought I would never get out again.” The girl, excited, tried to get up to thank them, but had no strength, letting Mu Fan hold her, the broad hand on her back inexplicably giving her peace of mind.
“May I know the benefactor’s name, Sinya will surely give thanks.”
She simply rested her forehead on Mu Fan’s chest, silently shedding tears.
This time, they were tears of joy.
“My name is Mu Fan, from Dingchuan Academy, and I wanted to confirm one thing…”
Yet when Mu Fan uttered the next sentence, it caused the girl’s body to suddenly stiffen.
“Are you from Babon Duchy?”
