Chapter 105 Zhang Qiling's certification passed
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Qiling's tone was emotionless, and her gaze was fixed on you, asking if you were panicking. Yan Huai was certainly quite panicked.
"...I need your heart's blood. After sharing our fate, you should be able to break free from the rules of your original world and no longer be affected and restricted by the book's... uh, inexplicable coma..."
Yan Huai almost blurted out the words "plot of the book," but thankfully he stopped himself in time. After all, a real person was standing right in front of him. If it were just a fictional character from a book, not only would Zhang Qiling be unable to accept it, but Yan Huai himself would also be furious.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling's expression gradually became ambiguous—was it necessary to use heart's blood...? Was it some kind of contract?
"So you came here to get my permission?"
Yan Huai nodded, then shook his head: "On the condition that I can find you."
What if we can't find it?
When this question came up, Zhang Qiling was a little stunned. He didn't expect that his first reaction would not be to doubt Yan Huai's purpose in making a contract with him, but rather to think about what way Yan Huai would try to save him if he couldn't find him.
Save him... instead of harming him...
A strange emotion flashed in Zhang Qiling's eyes, and he seemed to smile.
"I'm giving you my heart's blood, be careful."
A short sentence seemed to represent a signal, breaking the deadlock that should have been maintained.
The tentacles entwining the outside of the space suddenly became increasingly restless. Visibly, the golden liquid flowing inside the hard shell gradually transitioned to a dark red, adding a touch of terror and eeriness to the already dim sea of consciousness.
Yan Huai, still reeling from Zhang Qiling's words, blushed deeply. When he turned to look at the tentacles, he noticed their change in color.
"Zhang Qiling!" Yan Huai sensed something was wrong and hurriedly called out.
However, the instinctive warning came too late, because Zhang Qiling, who was standing not far away, suddenly collapsed as if he had lost all his strength. Yan Huai only had time to rush over and support his shoulder, but he didn't have time to look at the special space behind him that had opened up with a crack...
Pia——
With a whooshing sound echoing in his mind, Yan Huai's back was instantly torn open.
Damn...
It was a dark red tentacle, about the thickness of Yan Huai's arm. It silently crawled in through the crack and lashed Yan Huai's back hard.
Yan Huai grinned, cursing under his breath, as he scooped Zhang Qiling up and ran—these bastards are never going to stop!
The tearing sensation at the wound, besides the burning pain from corrosion, seemed to also weaken Yan Huai's spiritual body.
Yan Huai dared not be careless. He had already noticed Zhang Qiling's increasingly pale face out of the corner of his eye, and he had a guess about the changes in these tentacles. They must have been sucking Zhang Qiling's blood, and with the support of the Qilin blood energy, they were able to directly attack his spiritual body through some means.
If this is the case in the realm of consciousness, what about in reality?
Yan Huai considered a possibility, and a chill ran down his spine. Although this special space had developed cracks, it was still much better than the situation outside where you could be entangled the moment you stepped out. So, for the time being, he could still avoid it...
Yan Huai pursed his lips and held Zhang Qiling protectively in his arms. He withdrew a small amount of his mental energy back to reality to help Zhang Qiling regain his senses.
We need to hurry...
Outside, the already dimly lit mountain valley, due to its low-lying terrain, was now filled with an eerie atmosphere. Dark clouds had somehow covered the visible sky, rolling in large swathes like tentacles in Zhang Qiling's mind, as if they were about to collapse.
A few drops of cold sweat rolled down his cheeks and face as he was startled by the thunder, and he suddenly opened his eyes, the glint in his vertical pupils flashing and disappearing in an instant.
"Zhang Qiling!"
Yan Huai quickly moved closer to Zhang Qiling, who was leaning against a rock, and reached out to touch the latter's cheek. He felt a chilling coldness in his palm.
"I'm giving you my heart's blood, be careful."
A trembling hand slowly slid down Zhang Qiling's cheek to his carotid artery. The faint throbbing pulse sent a tingling sensation through his fingers to his heart. Recalling the trust in Zhang Qiling's eyes when he said those words in his mind, Yan Huai's brows furrowed with reluctance.
"You like me, right?" Yan Huai stared at Zhang Qiling's thin, unconscious face and asked hesitantly.
But this uncertain self-answered question couldn't be verified at this moment. He could only follow the instinctive guidance of shared destiny, and as he bent down, he revealed his sharp dragon fangs to the seemingly vulnerable neck beneath his palm...
