My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1600: Disaster Strikes for No Reason
After the black shadow transformed from the inheritance injury retreated, Xiao Zheng checked his body and found that his condition was now a complete mess, with even many places in his internal organs showing cracks!
Earlier, the black shadow, the golden little figure, and the golden giant sword formed from his own Gang Qi had waged an incredibly fierce battle with his body as the battlefield, naturally causing him severe injuries.
"Really..."
Xiao Zheng shook his head with a bitter smile, hardly knowing how to describe his feelings at the moment. A good thing turned into a bad one in the end. Now, not to mention breaking through to the late stage Martial Saint, even recovering from the injuries would take a very long time.
Moreover, the red-dressed girl had almost absorbed all the energy from the ancient blood pool to help him, so even if he wanted to use the ancient blood pool to heal, there was no way.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng lost interest in staying in this ancient blood pool and opened his eyes, preparing to leave.
However, just as he opened his eyes, the red-dressed girl seemed to sense something and, with a swish, opened her eyes as well. Seeing Xiao Zheng’s pale face but knowing he was no longer in critical condition, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"What just happened?"
The red-dressed girl asked with concern.
Seeing the concern in the red-dressed girl’s eyes, and remembering how she was willing to risk her life for him earlier, Xiao Zheng felt a deep trust in her. He didn’t hide anything and explained the situation related to the inheritance in his body, all while giving a slight smile.
"I really have to thank you this time. If you hadn’t absorbed all the energy from the blood pool, depriving that black shadow of the chance to grow, I might really have been done for."
The red-dressed girl smiled and said, "It’s alright; it was just a small effort on my part. Luckily, I didn’t misjudge; otherwise, you would have lost a great opportunity."
Xiao Zheng laughed heartily, "A small opportunity is nothing compared to my life."
The red-dressed girl pondered for a moment and said, "Do you need the Golden Bone to heal your inheritance injury?"
Xiao Zheng nodded, "Yes. If I hadn’t collected a few pieces of the Golden Bone to suppress the outbreak of the inheritance injury, I might already be dead."
Speaking of this, Xiao Zheng sighed, "Unfortunately, the Golden Bone is incredibly difficult to find. Up until now, I’ve only collected a few. The inheritance injury is very stubborn. Relying on just a few pieces of Golden Bone is far from enough to remove it; it might erupt again at any time. At that time, I don’t know if I’ll be able to survive."
Xiao Zheng felt somewhat pessimistic about this. Even though he was a prodigy and possessed combat power equivalent to the eighth level of Peak Martial Saint at a young age, he still found it challenging to resist the strange and unpredictable power of the inheritance injury.
The red-dressed girl said, "I’ve heard that the Werewolf King Rob III has a few pieces of the Golden Bone."
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly, "I know. I came to Europe and killed Duke Harren to search for the Golden Bone. But Rob III is incredibly strong, comparable to you, and he usually stays in the werewolves’ lair. Trying to get the Golden Bone from him is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"
The red-dressed girl said, "True."
Xiao Zheng laughed freely, "Enough about that. This trip to Europe is over, and it’s time for me to take my leave."
Saying this, he stood up. Although he was injured, basic movements weren’t a problem. However, as he stood, he felt a bit embarrassed, after all, he wasn’t wearing any clothes.
"Ahem, sorry about that."
Xiao Zheng coughed dryly, his face turning red.
The red-dressed girl’s face also blushed slightly, lowering her head in embarrassment, "It’s alright, you... you can go out first."
But when they looked down, they both froze.
Initially, the ancient blood pool was filled with thick red blood, so when they jumped in, the pool’s waters covered their bodies, making them invisible. But now, with all the energy absorbed from the blood pool, the water had become incredibly clear and clean.
Therefore, it became transparent.
"Beautiful."
Xiao Zheng said instinctively. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
The red-dressed girl practically wanted to kill someone, both embarrassed and anxious, she shouted softly.
"Get out!"
Saying this, she extended her hand, and a powerful force suddenly surged out, striking Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng exclaimed, flying out. Although the red-dressed girl didn’t hit hard, she casually waved her hand, forgetting that Xiao Zheng was injured,
almost unable to resist. As a result, with that casual wave, Xiao Zheng flew straight out, crashing to the ground with a bang.
The red-dressed girl was stunned.
Then, seeing Xiao Zheng’s disheveled appearance from afar, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud. If Xiao Zheng saw this scene, he’d probably become flustered. The red-dressed girl rarely showed such a smile, now blooming like a flower, displaying an unparalleled beauty that would make other flowers pale in comparison.
"This fool."
The red-dressed girl muttered softly, stood up, and reached out with a grab. Her clothes beside the pool flew over and automatically covered her body as she stepped out of the ancient blood pool.
As she walked out, a warmth gradually emanated from her body, instantly evaporating all the water droplets on her body, making her completely dry.
"Put this on."
The red-dressed girl picked up Xiao Zheng’s clothes, walked to him, and tossed them to him.
While putting on his clothes, Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly, "Big sister, you were too harsh earlier. I’m injured now; what you did wasn’t fair."
The red-dressed girl smiled, "Serves you right for not keeping your eyes to yourself."
"A disaster falling from the sky."
Xiao Zheng could only sigh longingly.
"Alright, stop complaining, let’s leave here." The red-dressed girl pouted and said.
"Okay." Xiao Zheng nodded. By now, he had already put on his clothes and followed the red-dressed girl out.
However, after walking just a few steps, Xiao Zheng’s expression suddenly changed!!
