I Pick up a Lost Godhood

Chapter 299 - 288: 288

Wang Meng cradled Ma Tian’Er in his arms. "The antidote!"

A blood-curdling scream erupted. The pain drained all the color from Goguryeo’s face. "You... you’re Wang Meng? How is that possible? Zhuang Ren..."

"Give me the antidote and I’ll grant you a quick death. Otherwise, I’ll make you wish you were dead!"

Wang Meng stared daggers at Goguryeo. Gritting his teeth, Goguryeo tried to flee, but in an instant, two sword flashes shot out.

Goguryeo’s legs continued running forward on their own.

Wang Meng hoisted Goguryeo’s torso into the air. "The antidote!"

Goguryeo gave a wretched laugh. "I never expected the Holy Hall to be hiding an expert like you. The antidote? I’m already crippled. For the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, there is only victory or death. But having a beauty to accompany me on the road to hell is worth it. Haha! Oh, right, Wang Meng, I have to tell you something. She’s actually stronger than me, but just because I took on your appearance, she wouldn’t even attack. She just stood there and let me stick her with my needle. Can you believe there’s such a foolish woman in this world?"

Wang Meng twisted off Goguryeo’s other arm. "The antidote! And I’ll let you live!"

"Live? Haha! Even if you let me go, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect wouldn’t. But that’s fine. I’ll be waiting for you in hell!"

Goguryeo’s expression became savage. Wang Meng grabbed him with both hands and suddenly pulled...

Ma Tian’Er lay on the ground, her breathing growing more and more rapid. She mumbled, "Wang... Big Brother... danger... danger..."

Wang Meng froze. He thought Ma Tian’Er had long since forgotten him, or at least stopped worrying about him. But even now, she was still... A wave of warmth spread through his heart. ’Being cared for by someone is the best feeling in the world.’

"Tian’Er, wake up! You have to hang on!"

Wang Meng immediately tore open the clothes on Ma Tian’Er’s chest, revealing a patch of snow-white, glistening skin. Ma Tian’Er was very fair, and now, afflicted by the Wood-Eroding Needle, she looked all the more pitifully beautiful.

In a situation like this, Wang Meng wasn’t about to stand around like an idiot and do nothing. He placed his hand on Ma Tian’Er’s chest and slowly circulated his Elemental Power, gradually drawing out the Wood-Eroding Needle. However, since Ma Tian’Er had been caught completely off guard, the wound from the needle was far too severe.

Wang Meng’s head instantly started to throb. Ma Tian’Er coughed up a mouthful of blood, her consciousness fading further. It was only because Goguryeo had been overcome with lust that the needle had gone slightly off-target; otherwise, Ma Tian’Er would have died on the spot.

Wang Meng could only continue to pour his Elemental Power into Ma Tian’Er’s body while feeding her a Pill, but even after she swallowed an Emergency Pill, her condition showed no signs of improvement.

The Wood-Eroding Needle wasn’t exactly a poison needle, but it was specifically designed to counter a constitution based on the Five Elements Mutual Inhibition. The move didn’t have to be fancy; it just had to work.

Wang Meng grabbed his head. ’Dammit.’

...Suddenly, he remembered his own special Emergency Pill.

This was no time for hesitation. Ma Tian’Er’s condition was critical, and they couldn’t even think about leaving this Little Thousand World of Death Burial until the other person was killed.

Gritting his teeth, Wang Meng took out the glittering golden Emergency Pill and carefully placed it between Ma Tian’Er’s slightly pale lips. ’An Emergency Pill nurtured by a Godhood has to be good, right?’

Ma Tian’Er felt herself drifting through a pitch-black world. Her body was weightless, and she couldn’t get a grip on anything. She wanted to move, but she couldn’t, though she felt like she could still remember something.

’I’m about to die,’ Ma Tian’Er knew. But she wasn’t really thinking about much, nor was she particularly afraid. Her understanding of life was different from others’. It was just that she would never see him again. ’But that’s fine too. At least I won’t have to worry anymore.’

Just as Liuu Mei had said, Ma Tian’Er was simple-hearted and always thought of others. She had come to the Great Yuan Realm intending to start completely fresh, but who would have thought they would end up together again? When she got the news, Ma Tian’Er had been so happy, so overjoyed. She didn’t care if she died in the Great Yuan Realm; as long as she could watch him from afar, that was enough.

Everything in the Great Yuan Realm felt like a dream. Ma Tian’Er didn’t care at all whether she became stronger. Wang Meng might not have known it, but she was aware of his every move.

Heaven might not have let her be happy for long, but at least one of her wishes had been granted. ’How blissful it would be to die in his arms.’

"Tian’Er! Tian’Er! Wake up! Wake up!"

Wang Meng could feel that his bootleg Emergency Pill was working rapidly. His Heart Spirit could sense Ma Tian’Er’s body growing warmer, the color gradually returning to her face. The wound on her chest from the Wood-Eroding Needle had already shrunk to a tiny dot.

In her daze, Ma Tian’Er felt her thoughts multiplying, becoming clearer and clearer. Suddenly, she felt a bit of strength return to her body. She could feel the outside world again, and it seemed like she could open her eyes.

Through her blurry vision, Ma Tian’Er felt herself being held in someone’s arms, a familiar voice calling her name in her ear.

She opened her eyes. It was really Wang Meng???

’Did heaven hear my final wish?’

Wang Meng’s super Emergency Pill was working. Not only was Ma Tian’Er’s body gradually recovering, but her mind was also clearing. Ma Tian’Er quickly regained her composure. She was facing an enemy from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

And now...

SLAP~~~

A stinging slap landed squarely on Wang Meng’s face. Even for someone as overwhelmingly powerful as Master Wang, the blow was solid and truly stunned him.

"Goguryeo, you won’t die a good death!" Thinking the man before her was still the illusion, Ma Tian’Er viciously bit down on her own tongue.

Wang Meng was terrified. He lunged forward in an instant. In that split second, Wang Meng’s reaction was absolutely top-tier; he stuck his fingers into Ma Tian’Er’s mouth.

Although Ma Tian’Er hadn’t recovered her strength, the bite was bone-deep. The pain was so intense it made Wang Meng see stars. It was a clear sign of just how determined she was.

"Tian’Er, it’s me! It’s really me! That Goguryeo guy is already dead!"

Ma Tian’Er froze, listening with a mixture of belief and doubt. Her gaze then fell upon the decapitated body of Goguryeo not far away.

’This isn’t a dream?’

Only then did Wang Meng pull his poor fingers out of her mouth, shaking them frantically. ’Ow, that hurts! This girl... did she have to be so vicious?’

Ma Tian’Er’s eyes instantly welled up with tears, which left Wang Meng at a complete loss. ’Hey, I’m the one who got bitten!’

In an instant, Ma Tian’Er threw herself onto Wang Meng and began to sob uncontrollably. It was impossible to tell if she was crying from the relief of surviving or from overwhelming joy. In any case, Ma Tian’Er just needed to cry.

Wang Meng was caught in a dilemma—to hug her or not to hug her. Remembering Ma Tian’Er’s ferocity just now, he thought about how his fingers had been a hair’s breadth away from being bitten off.

Ma Tian’Er didn’t care about any of that. She thanked heaven, she thanked everything. She no longer cared about life or death.

"Tian’Er, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. It’s okay. I’ve always been here."

Wang Meng gently patted Ma Tian’Er’s shoulder as if coaxing a little sister. But Ma Tian’Er’s clothes were currently in disarray, which was a huge test for Wang Meng’s Heart Spirit. Frankly, the old Ma Tian’Er was more like a cute girl from the Lin Family, making it hard to think of her in *that* way. But Wang Meng had, after all, just seen something he shouldn’t have. Desperate times called for desperate measures, but the image was seared into his brain. It was an unimaginable, breathtaking sight. The fact that the gentle Ma Tian’Er could be so fiercely resolute had also left a huge impact on Wang Meng.

On the other side, Mingren was facing off against Lim Yun’Er. The two were fighting with great enthusiasm, and Mingren wore a faint smile the entire time. (To be continued.
