Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 634 - 613: One More Update

"Madam, we should leave first," Xing Yu said, looking at the dark mass in the mid-air, feeling a bit frightened. What did the madam want to see? Was there anything good to see, and what if the monster wasn’t dead?

"Xing Yu, rescue everyone alive—" Zheng Nianru’s mind was entirely on Yin He, who had been swallowed by the monster, thinking only that Yin He must not die, Yin He absolutely must not die.

Xing Yu didn’t want to leave, thinking that if there was any danger she could still carry the madam and quickly flee.

Just then, the monster suddenly moved slightly, like a calm pool of water being suddenly disturbed by a huge stone, its entire body shaking violently.

It was not true that Zheng Nianru wasn’t afraid, as she took a step back clutching the short sword in her hand, but still she did not run; the sword belonged to Ju Nanyi, and she had seen with her own eyes what this sword could do to hurt the monster, plus, Ju Nanyi had the ability to destroy Qiandao Temple, obviously having some skills.

"Madam—" Xing Yu suddenly cried out in alarm, pointing at the monster. Zheng Nianru saw it too but did not stop Xing Yu, because, the thing in front of them was constantly changing, starting from the initial sudden shaking of its entire body, the monster kept moving, and now its "belly" slowly sank towards the ground, gradually dropping into a bag until it was less than half a meter from the ground, then it finally stopped dropping and the bag gently swayed.

Zheng Nianru took a step forward, frightening Xing Yu who almost screamed out loud, forgetting even to hold back her own madam.

The monster stopped moving, and this stillness was not to say that it had frozen, but compared to the previous violent shaking, it was less active. Zheng Nianru didn’t know what this meant and didn’t have time to think, only feeling that the longer she delayed, the lesser the chance was that Yin He was alive.

Xing Yu gaped, for the first time in her life she saw Zheng Nianru being so bold. What was the madam trying to do?

Zheng Nianru didn’t know if what she was doing was right, but she couldn’t bear not to do anything. She guessed that the monster had swallowed Yin He but didn’t seem to have gained any benefit. Now she stood in front of the monster, and it didn’t react at all.

The key was that the monster’s "belly" seemed to be carrying something, Zheng Nianru hoped her first fearless attempt would bring some rewards, and the next moment, she fiercely stabbed the dark belly of the monster with the short sword, yet, Zheng Nianru could only push it halfway in before she couldn’t push it any further.

"Madam, I’ll do it—" Xing Yu seemed to understand Zheng Nianru’s intention, the madam wanted to rescue Yin He. Thinking of Yin He, Xing Yu’s face, initially resistant, now hesitated somewhat.

Zheng Nianru nodded, stepped aside, and Xing Yu decisively took it over, and with a forceful push, the monster’s "belly" was smoothly cut open under her hands; the next moment, a thing entirely covered in sticky fluid dropped down, and Zheng Nianru instinctively reached out her hands to catch it, only to cushion its fall as it hit the ground.

Xing Yu hurriedly dropped the sword and crouched down quickly.

"Madam, it’s Yin He—" Xing Yu said joyfully, the madam was indeed formidable.

Zheng Nianru of course saw clearly but still nodded happily, even feeling that the disgusting slime wasn’t so revolting anymore, immediately checking if the other party was alive.

...

"Master, it’s Yin He." In the darkness, a disciple of Qiandao Temple immediately reported back, "The Young Master Yin He from Ghoul Ravine hasn’t died."

This news instantly added a layer of concern to everyone’s faces. If only this fight could end with both parties wounded, they wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of dealing with Ghoul Ravine.

Master Huo Yi wasn’t very surprised by this outcome. Although the monster and Yin He were evenly matched, with characteristics of symbiosis and growth, the monster had been confined for so many years, and despite being young, Yin He had a ruthless heart, something he hadn’t expected.

Because this coexistence relationship differed from the usual, allowing feelings to resonate, he hadn’t expected the young man to actually strike.

"Even so, Young Master Yin He also suffered a vital energy injury, which is not enough to be feared." Master Huo Yi spoke, because this coexistence relationship was not only emotional but also one of strength.

Just now, he had seen that the monster was urgently re-establishing this coexistence relationship with the young man. If the young man were to kill this monster at this moment, it would be tantamount to taking his own life as well.

However, what Master Huo Yi did not know was that it wasn’t just half a life; it almost took Yin He’s life.

When Yin He began regaining consciousness, all he felt was warmth all over, and a pair of gentle hands softly patting his face, the voice was also what he most wanted to hear, making Yin He think he was dreaming.

"Yin He, wake up—" Zheng Nianru detected the young man’s heartbeat, her voice growing joyful, "Xing Yu, touch and see, is there a heartbeat?"

At this moment, Yin He felt he was not dreaming anymore, especially when he opened his eyes and saw Zheng Nianru’s face in his eyes. The young man wanted to speak, but Zheng Nianru wasn’t looking at him; instead, she was pulling Xing Yu to feel the heartbeat.

Xing Yu nervously stretched out her hand, trembling slightly as she was about to place it on the man’s chest, but the young man suddenly blocked Xing Yu’s hand, his gaze still on Zheng Nianru.

"Did you save me?" the young man asked, his whole body aching so much he felt he might faint at any second, but he didn’t care, he didn’t mind if he could get out on his own soon, he only cared about now, she had saved him.

Zheng Nianru nodded excitedly.

"As long as you are alive, Yin He, it is good that you are alive—" Zheng Nianru said happily, with one thought in her mind, if Yin He was alive, Zheng Congyuan could be saved.

The young man cracked a slight smile, using almost all of his strength to try to say something, but the dizziness struck him first.

"Don’t talk, don’t move." Zheng Nianru saw the young man’s weakness, carefully cleaning the mucus off his face with a handkerchief.

"Yin He, I know you saved me, but next time, you must make sure you can stay alive to save others," Zheng Nianru still worried, quickly said.

The young man suddenly felt a surreal feeling, but he had saved her, and she had saved him; this was a fact, and this fact seemed to have touched Zheng Nianru. If he had known, he should have saved her a few more times, making her grateful to him more often.

"Mhm—" The young man nodded, not resisting the dizziness this time, and had already fainted the moment his head nodded.

"My lady, Yin He has just fainted," Xing Yu hurriedly said, her words and demeanor filled with joy.

Zheng Nianru also nodded happily, she could feel the young man’s heartbeat, weak but truly beating.

"Master, he is still alive—" Emerging from the shadows, the mages from Qiandao Temple first checked on Elder Can, who was closest to them, found him still alive, and immediately went to finish him off.
