Chapter 2706 - 2707: Feng Ran and Shuangshuang
Ayi let out a big sigh of relief, repeatedly calling out Ali’s name beside him, but unfortunately, Ali showed no reaction.
"Stop calling, it’s difficult for him to wake up." Bai Ruozhu said, shaking her head, "However, dying is worse than living, maybe he’ll wake up in a few years."
Wenyu stood to the side with a black line across his face, she calls herself a doctor, is this how you comfort a patient’s family? It sounds more like you’re being cynical.
Ayi started crying, "He won’t survive for a few years, is there really, truly no chance for him to open his eyes again?"
Bai Ruozhu shook her head, "I’m just a doctor, I can’t help with matters related to your Merfolk Bloodline."
As she spoke, she packed away the silver needle and started walking outside.
Wenyu followed her out, "Madam Bai, thank you for your help."
"A mere effort, not worth mentioning, it turns out I couldn’t help, I couldn’t wake him." Bai Ruozhu said, shaking her head helplessly.
Wenyu felt relieved and after sending Bai Ruozhu away, he returned to report to the great elder.
That evening, Bai Ruozhu didn’t go to find Ayi, because the Merfolk had arranged for some people to watch Ayi’s house, making it inconvenient for her to go.
Fortunately, Ayi was a calm person, after receiving her hint, even though her husband remained unconscious, she did not lose her composure.
As night fell, a small figure emerged from Ayi’s house, the moonlight shone on her face, which was filled with tears.
Perhaps out of fear, she walked faster and eventually started running.
Bai Ruozhu was hiding inside observing the situation outside, when she suddenly saw this scene and recognized the little girl as Ayi’s daughter Yunyun.
She prepared some medicine and quietly went out to follow Yunyun, but didn’t expect footsteps from afar, forcing her to hide within the Space.
"Great elder Grandpa!" Yunyun’s eyes lit up when she saw the person coming, and she ran over with her little legs.
"Isn’t this Ali’s daughter? Why is she running around outside at night?" The great elder asked with a kindly smile, as if he were a loving old man.
Yunyun started to sob, then suddenly knelt on the ground.
Imitating adults, she solemnly kowtowed, saying: "Great elder Grandpa, please save my father! I know you are selecting a saintess, they don’t want to be saintess, but I’m willing to, as long as my father can wake up."
Bai Ruozhu felt a pang of pain in her heart, such a young child yet so understanding, her mom couldn’t tell her much, so she thought her father was in trouble and was willing to sacrifice herself to save him.
The great elder stroked her head and helped her up from the ground.
"Do you know what a saintess does? Once you become a saintess, you will never see your parents again, nor will you be able to go outside and play, you must stay in the Holy Hall for life." The great elder said.
After all, she was a child, upon hearing she could never see her parents, Yunyun started crying, her small face scrunched together.
"Can’t I see them once a month?" She asked through her tears.
The great elder shook his head.
"Once a year?" She asked persistently.
"No, you must decide carefully, whether you want to save your father or go home and sleep." The great elder smiled kindly, but there was a glint in his eye.
Inside the Space, Bai Ruozhu clenched her teeth, despicable, deceiving a child.
If Yunyun said she wouldn’t save her father, would the great elder then not select her as the saintess?
He’s just trying to torment the child’s innocent mind, what kind of mentality is this?
"Who? Come out!" The great elder suddenly shouted, raising his hand and slamming it towards Bai Ruozhu’s hiding place.
Hiding within the Space, Bai Ruozhu broke into a cold sweat, was she discovered?
Then, footsteps sounded from the grass behind, someone slowly walked out, it was the madwoman who had mistaken her and grabbed her before.
"Feng Ran, why are you here?" The great elder asked coldly.
Bai Ruozhu’s heart skipped a beat, this old woman was Feng Ran? On that day she called out "Shuangshuang", was it referring to the woman forced to eat the Purple River Carriage in the cave?
That woman also asked Jasper to send them a message, asking them to take away Feng Ran, showing their relationship is not ordinary, most likely "Shuangshuang" mentioned by the old woman.
Is it Chushuang, Achun’s mother?
Bai Ruozhu’s heart warmed up, if this is true, then Achun’s mother is still alive, she almost met her!
"Why can’t I be here? You fear I might run away, aren’t you planning on imprisoning me?" Feng Ran snorted, her tone seemed clearer now.
"What nonsense are you talking, quickly go back to rest, stop wandering at night, or you’ll scare the children of the clan." The great elder said.
Feng Ran suddenly burst into laughter, scaring Yunyun who hugged the great elder’s leg.
"You used the same trick back then to deceive Shuangshuang, using me to threaten her, making her willingly become a saintess, so many years have passed, you’re still so shameless." Feng Ran seemed filled with hatred, speaking through clenched teeth, Bai Ruozhu hiding within the Space could hear the grinding sounds.
"Enough, stop mentioning the past!" The great elder shouted.
Feng Ran didn’t fear at all, "What? Want to kill me to silence me? You ask this child to choose, if she chooses not to save her father, you won’t let her be saintess? Is it fun to toy with a child? You’re still so sick, I was blind to have married you back then!"
Bai Ruozhu widened her eyes, this woman was actually the great elder’s wife, the relationship is too complicated.
"After all these years, have I ever been bad to you? You couldn’t bear children, did I ever hold that against you? Ever marry another? But why can’t you understand me? Everything I do is for the clan, for everyone in the clan!" The great elder showed a pained expression, "How can you hate me so, forget our marital affection so easily?"
"Affection? I was just your tool, used to control Shuangshuang, then forced to survive, living in pain every day, now the only reason I live is to see you go to Hell!" Feng Ran hysterically shouted, her emotions lost control again, she madly lunged at the great elder, reaching out to tear his clothes and fought him.
The great elder raised his hand and knocked her unconscious, holding her before her body went limp.
"Is it necessary?" He sighed heavily.
He looked down at the trembling Yunyun and said gently: "Don’t be afraid, Grandma Feng Ran is suffering from a strange illness and is not clear-minded, she’s not intentionally throwing a tantrum."
Yunyun, still young, was easily deceived by his few sentences, she nodded hard and said: "I’m not afraid, you should take Grandma back quickly, besides, I want to save my father, I’m willing to become a saintess."
"Have you thought it through?" The great elder asked.
Yunyun lowered her head and cried: "I’ve thought it through, I want my parents to stay alive."
The great elder smiled, "As long as you pass the test, I promise to lift the Curse from your parents."
