Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 1310: Putting It into Action
He Ruomei was in a panic at the time, not knowing what to do, fearing that her family and child would worry, and worried about the safety of the mountains.
Thinking about how she was scolded by Wu Jianhan and now faced with this situation, she couldn’t help but cry in grievance.
The car was out of gas, and she couldn’t start the air conditioner; the mountain became colder and colder at night.
He Ruomei knew that if she stayed in the mountain overnight, she definitely wouldn’t survive a night and would freeze to death.
She searched the car and herself for a long time, but found nothing to help, not even a lighter.
He Ruomei gritted her teeth, wiped her tears, and stepped outside, thinking that as long as she reached the main road, she might encounter a park ranger or other tourists.
If worse comes to worst, when she gets to the main road, her phone should have a signal.
At that time, she could ask for help.
He Ruomei couldn’t tell the direction, so she just picked a random direction to walk towards, which was better than staying in the same place and freezing to death.
However, she didn’t know how long she had been walking without seeing the main road.
He Ruomei was already terribly cold, hungry, and worn out, her strength rapidly waning, gradually feeling a suffocating sensation as her breath grew increasingly labored and her legs increasingly heavy. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Suddenly, she was tripped by a tree root hidden in the snow, with a thud she fell straight down, her forehead striking a stone at her side.
Everything went black, and she immediately fainted.
When she woke up again and climbed from the ground, she thought she was still alive, until she couldn’t feel cold or hot. She reached out to touch her heart, realizing it had stopped beating, and only then did she understand she was already dead.
But inexplicably, her soul remained within her body.
He Ruomei sat on the ground and cried desolately, beside her, the stone was stained with her blood, suddenly a strand of Spiritual Energy drilled into her body.
She felt as if she had come back to life.
At that moment, she discovered the stone seemed unusual, so she dug it up and brought it home.
She walked all the way back home from Leping Town, Wu Jianhan was still at home at that time, seeing her return covered in slush, he felt quite guilty and apologized to He Ruomei, admitting he was just upset and spoke out of turn without thinking.
He Ruomei said nothing because the apology came too late.
After returning home, she initially intended to live normally.
But later she realized this was completely delusional.
Her body was already dead, over time, her flesh began to decay, emitting a foul odor.
For a while, she needed to spray half a bottle of perfume daily to mask her odor, during that period she dared not visit the inn or crowded places, fearing being discovered.
Yet, even this was futile.
Seeing more and more places on her body rotting, He Ruomei became somewhat desperate, for after all she and Wu Jianhan were husband and wife, sharing a bed; she feared Wu Jianhan would notice her abnormalities.
It wasn’t just Wu Jianhan’s discovery that concerned her, but once he discovered, the whole family would know.
She didn’t care about others’ opinions but didn’t want to hurt her child because of this.
So, she frantically sought ways to fix her appearance.
She suddenly remembered seeing a movie where skin could be replaced.
She wondered if she could do the same.
Suddenly, she thought of that stone, feeling it held a powerful force, she took it to study.
She discovered that every time her blood stained it, the stone’s power would share a bit with her.
Not much, but enough for her to do many things, enough for her to bring her ideas to life.
