Chapter Twenty: A Life-Saving Favor

  Remember in one second

  After being stunned by the thunder, he vaguely heard someone arguing, but what they were arguing about, he couldn't hear clearly at all.

  He felt someone lift him up and place him in a soft spot. He tried to struggle to get up, but his chest was like a heavy mountain, making it impossible for him to move.

  He caught a whiff of a floral scent beside him, but his scattered consciousness made it impossible for him to distinguish whether it was flowers or someone as lovely as flowers...

  The young Mrs. Chunyu sat in the carriage, her moon-like face always bearing a faint sorrow, perhaps due to her unfortunate experiences. She wore a pure white dress with a long skirt adorned with still sea pearls, each as large as a horse's eye. The shoulder-baring neckline revealed her delicate collarbone, and her soft golden hair fell over her chest, just covering the two high **.

  She slightly lifted the hem of her beautiful skirt, bent down and leaned in close to Lega, a pair of bright moonlit eyes carefully observing his body. Her movements were gentle, quiet, full of holy care, as if she was visiting a newborn baby.

  She has an innate elegance, every move, every gaze is dignified and elegant, generous and unrestrained. It's just that when she bends down, her hair falls on Lega's body, the pure white jade-like breasts and the deep cleavage between them are inadvertently exposed.

  A strand of hair brushed against Rega's body, like a warm spring breeze. He tried to grasp it, but exhausted all his strength, and only managed to make his fingers twitch slightly.

  Spring Rain Lady saw a reaction in Laga's body, and immediately spread out her jade-like palms, softly chanting a beginner-level fire system magic spell.

  She was determined to have magical talent since childhood, and had also entered the Women's Magic Academy for study. Although she had to interrupt her magic dream due to family affairs, she still hadn't forgotten the basic magic.

  As she chanted the incantation, a faint red flame condensed into a ball in her palm, jumping ceaselessly.

  Lega's body was icy cold, and the flames were just enough to ward off the chill, but as soon as her palm moved above Lega's body, the red flames went out immediately.

  "Huh?"

  Madam Spring Rain gasped in surprise, instantly putting her loyal servant Akari on high alert outside the carriage.

  "Ma'am? Are you alright?"

  Akira now somewhat regrets putting that mysterious vagrant in Chunyu Furen's carriage.

  "You are entirely to blame for Madame's injuries."

  "If something happens, I will use my own life to protect my wife's safety, rather than being like you, only thinking of shirking responsibility!" Akari said disdainfully.

  "Old fellow! Why are you always against me everywhere?"

  "Stop running your mouth, I'm ready for a duel anytime!"

  "You——"

  Mrs. Chunyu pressed her temples and let out a soft sigh: "You two, move away from the carriage compartment a bit, or I won't be able to focus."

  "Madam, let me stay behind, I must ensure your safety."

  "Milady, it should be me who stays behind! I was personally appointed by the Marquis of White Sand to protect you!"

  "Stand back a bit."

  "Stand a hundred meters away and don't let me hear any sound from you."

  Akili reluctantly obeyed the mistress's order, exchanging a hateful glance with Du Dun before walking 100 meters away.

  Du Dun's face was full of gloomy smiles as he turned around and walked in the opposite direction of Akali.

  After driving away the two noisy servants, Spring Rain Madam cleared her mind of distractions and began to recite the incantation for the beginner-level Flame Magic once again. Flames rose from her palm, but just as they approached Rega's body, they vanished without a trace.

  Spring Rain Lady slightly furrowed her brow, using magic requires consuming spiritual energy, and as someone who only knows a little about magic, the spiritual energy she has developed is extremely limited. The two fire spells almost exhausted her spiritual energy, at least today she can no longer use a third one. Spring Rain Lady let out a tired sigh and softly said: "I'm sorry, I don't know how to save you."

  Her tone was filled with genuine sorrow, without a hint of pretence.

  She sat back in her seat, gazing at Lega with a mixture of pity and thoughtfulness, beginning to think of other ways to rescue him - although it was a long shot, she still didn't want to give up on the young life.

  Lei Ga's clothes were extremely thin and had been soaked through with sweat, his scarred body reeked of rot, his handsome face was smeared with bloodstains. In just a few minutes, the stench and bloodstains made the beautiful carriage filthy.

  Spring Rain didn't mind these, she noticed that Leika was already unconscious, his breath weak, but his arms still held tightly around the messy pile of clothes in front of him.

  She felt a sudden movement in her heart, regardless of the dirty blood stains, stretched out her hand to pull that pile of broken clothes, wanting to see what it was all about.

  The Cang Yuelong sword suddenly fell out of its cloth wrapping, giving Chunyufeng a big fright.

  Rega, who had been unconscious, felt the pressure on his body suddenly disappear. He abruptly opened his eyes, which were filled with blood vessels, and found himself inside a horse-drawn carriage. A fragrant woman like a flower sat across from him. He didn't notice her appearance, but saw that she was bending down to pick up his sword, slightly furrowing her brow as she carefully examined it.

  My sword!

  Lega's throat emitted a hoarse voice, but his numb tongue still couldn't clearly articulate a complete syllable.

  "Spring Rain Lady was quite surprised and lifted her head, 'You're awake...'"

  Lei Ga didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and suddenly violently jumped onto her body, throwing her onto the soft sofa. One of his dirty hands pressed against her snow-white chest, making her unable to move, while the other hand grasped towards his own Qinghe sword.

  Spring Rain's wife let out a subconscious scream, instinctively starting to struggle and resist. She was not a true magician, nor an assassin, and with just her weak and delicate body, she could not push away Rega who was in a state of frenzy.

  Lei Ga's hand touched the hilt of the Cang Hu sword, and he immediately felt a dizzying sensation. He tried to grit his teeth and persevere, but his rapidly weakening body was unable to support him, and he fainted again. The Cang Hu sword fell to one side, and his body heavily pressed down on Chun Yu's ceremonial skirt.

  Spring rain lady struggled frantically, but accidentally pulled down the neckline of her low-cut dress, one snow-white **popped out instantly, and the other was half-covered and half-exposed, calling out to come out.

  "Ma'am?!"

  Akili heard the mistress's scream and immediately ran towards the carriage, panting and asking "What happened?"

  "It's nothing!"

  Madam Chunyu hastily replied. Such an embarrassing scene, in any case, cannot be seen by Akari and Toudon.

  "Madam, I heard a strange noise inside!" The speaker was Du Dun, who also noticed that Chun Yu's tone was somewhat unusual.

  "Spring Rain Madam suppressed her wildly beating heart, took a deep breath, and then said: 'It's nothing, I can handle it myself.'"

  When they heard this, Akari and Toudou could only wait quietly outside the carriage. Entering their master's room without permission was a very serious offense.

  The spring rain lady pushed away Rega's body with force, then quickly lifted up her skirt to cover the rounded hemisphere. Her whole body was trembling, half because of shame and half because of fear.

  Lei Ga woke up again, his first thought was to control Chun Yu Furen, but his body was still in a state of extreme weakness, and he couldn't move at all. He could only stare at Chun Yu Furen with a pair of black pupils, vigilantly watching her.

  The pale face of Chunyu Furen showed a hint of annoyance, as the daughter of the lord, she had never encountered such disrespect before. Not to mention a wandering child, even other noble lords would not dare to be so rude to her. Her exceptional aristocratic demeanor vanished in an instant, and with a red face, she asked angrily: "Do you know what you just did?"

  Lei opened his mouth and made a vague sound.

  "Spring Rain Lady blinked in surprise, 'What are you talking about?'"

  The numbness in his tongue had yet to dissipate, and Lei Ga couldn't help but let out a sigh, pointing at the Cang Hua sword and then at himself.

  "So it was dumb..."

  The pity in Chunyu's heart grew a little more. Since he was mute, even if he had seen the scene earlier, he couldn't say it out loud. Chunyu felt slightly relieved and the red flush of shame on her face gradually subsided.

  "Listen, I don't know what kind of wound you've suffered, but judging from the situation just now, it must have something to do with this sword."

  To prove this, Spring Rain Madame was on guard against being pounced on by Leiga again, and carefully picked up the Cang Huai sword, but she forgot to defend against the good spring light in front of her chest, and was seen by Leiga sitting opposite her.

  Ke Lei Ga had no time to appreciate it, he stared tightly at the Cang Hui Sword, his eyes uncontrollably becoming wild.

  Spring Rain picked up the Azure Crane Sword and placed it in a location farther away from Lei Ga.

  After the Azure Sword was moved away, Leiga's body immediately felt a bit more relaxed, and his face also gradually regained some blood color.

  Spring Rain Lady saw Lei Jia and didn't make any rough moves, she let out a slight sigh, "See, I didn't lie to you? You should keep a distance from this sword."

  This sentence was more painful to him than if he had been stabbed with a sword and left with a gaping wound. He finally realized that the problem wasn't with the Qinghe Sword, but with himself. With this thought, his dry mouth only tasted of bile.

  Now that Lai Ka was no longer in danger, Chun Yu Furen found it inconvenient to stay with him. She pushed open the door of the carriage and called out to her loyal servant: "Ah Kui, you come and take care of him for a while, and also take this sword away."

  "Madam, let me handle this small matter. Akule is the coachman, he will focus on driving and we can return to Senyan City before nightfall."

  Doudan's proactive attitude made Chunyu Furen somewhat surprised, but she didn't think much of it and handed the Canghui Sword over to Doudan with ease.
