Gu Xiaoqi's heart was moved, she looked out of the window, looking forward to see.

If she were to leave with Xia Yichen, she would not be locked in here and would be able to live like a normal person.

But to leave Mu Liancheng...

Gu Xiaoqi answered this in her heart even faster than her. She did not want to leave.

Even though Mu Liancheng had locked her up here, she still didn't want to leave. Just thinking that it was possible that he would never see this man ever again made her nose sour, and she couldn't help but want to cry.

"Xia Yichen, thank you. I'm fine." Gu Xiaoqi kept her spike from before, and now she truly considered Xia Yichen a friend.

Xia Yichen did not expect such an answer. He became anxious and went forward to grab Gu Xiaoqi's arm, and was about to walk out. "Gu Xiaoqi, I came to save you!"

Just then, the door opened from the outside, but the one who entered was not Mu Liancheng, but Shen Nan.

He was first shocked, then looked at Gu Xiaoqi in anger, and her tone of voice lost the respect she had in the past, "Gu Xiaoqi, what are you doing!?"

Xiao Qi was shocked, before she could even explain, Xia Yichen shouted in righteous indignation, "I will bring her away, Gu Xiaoqi is only a person, he isn't a pet of anyone!"

These words were heavy, and Shen Nan's eyes instantly turned red. He shouted without thinking, "Gu Xiaoqi, if you want to leave, quickly leave, otherwise, when Ninth Master wakes up, you won't be able to leave!"

Shen Nan stood at the door, feeling depressed in his heart. He felt that it wasn't worth it for the Ninth Master.

Xia Yichen gave Gu Xiaoqi another tug, "Hurry up and go, or else it'll really be too late!"

Gu Xiaoqi caught sight of the loophole in Shen Nan's words, what was the meaning of the Ninth Master waking up?

With her mind completely blown away, Gu Xiaoqi broke free from Xia Yichen's grasp and hurried to grab Shen Nan's sleeve, "What happened to Ninth Master?"

Shen Nan's expression was ugly, as he said in an incomparably stiff and cold manner, "Ninth Master doesn't need you to worry."

Gu Xiaoqi was extremely anxious, she did not care what Shen Nan was thinking anymore as she urged him: "Tell me quickly!"

Shen Nan was still unwilling to speak. He turned his head and was about to leave, causing Gu Xiaoqi's temper to rise.

Other than being a good cat in front of Mu Liancheng, Gu Xiaoqi was just a hedgehog with spikes all over its body.

"Shen Nan, for matters between Ninth Master and I, it's not the place for anyone to hold grudges!" Gu Xiaoqi stood in front of Shen Nan, not taking a single step back.

Shen Nan was frightened, he hesitated, he did not know what attitude the Ninth Master had towards Gu Xiaoqi, and the Ninth Master was in a dangerous situation right now.

Glancing at Xia Yichen, Shen Nan said solemnly: "Follow me."

Xia Yichen watched Gu Xiaoqi's back and then gradually disappeared from her sight. He clenched her fists tightly, her face was filled with hostility, and she did not seem to have the usual sunny look.

Gu Xiaoqi followed Shen Nan to the study room, then looked at the secret room behind the bookshelf in shock.

Shen Nan casually tapped on it a few times, and then, the secret room slowly opened.

Shen Nan warned repeatedly with a heavy tone: "Ninth Master isn't in a good condition right now. You, prepare yourself."

Gu Xiaoqi did not make a sound, and only quickened her pace.

The room wasn't big, only about six or seven square meters. There was nothing else in the room except for a huge ice bed in the middle that was emitting white mist.

Gu Xiaoqi ran over in shock, looking at the familiar face, she was currently chained up on the sickbed, his entire body was naked, the veins on his body were popping out, the ice beneath his body melted very quickly, and she had already turned into a human figure.

"Ninth Master!" Gu Xiaoqi ignored the thin nightgown on her body and directly climbed on.

Shen Nan, who was observing Gu Xiaoqi, secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't do anything either, and from then on, his heart had been hanging in the air.

Now that he saw Gu Xiaoqi like this, he could finally relax.

As she climbed onto the ice bed, Gu Xiaoqi shivered from the cold. However, she did not care about all these, as she focused all her attention on Mu Liancheng.

That man, who had been majestic and arrogant during the day, now had bloodshot eyes and was constantly twitching. He even let out a beast-like roar from his mouth and two vague words could be heard — — "Xiao, Xiao Qi, Qi …"

What was even more serious was that some of the skin on Mu Liancheng's body had already ruptured, and was bleeding profusely.

Gu Xiaoqi's tears fell in an instant. She held onto Mu Liancheng's arm and shouted angrily: "What exactly happened here?"

Shen Nan stood at the side with difficulty, as he could not help but lower his head, "Ninth Master has a strange disease which he suffers from every rainy day, becoming like this the moment he erupts. This time, it's really too serious. Furthermore, I've been calling your name the entire time, that's why I … I had to bring you here. "

"And you didn't call a doctor?" Gu Xiaoqi's heart ached but at the same time, she angrily questioned her. Her heart was about to break as she looked at this man.

"You think we haven't?" Shen Nan growled back in grievance, "But I can't normally tell that Ninth Master is sick, only a sick person can."

"If others were to find out that Ninth Master had this strange disease, then not only him, his entire Mu Family would also be finished!"

How could Shen Nan not know that the Ninth Master was in such pain? He was anxious and pained, but he had no other choice.

Ninth Master would rather endure it silently than have his weak points seized and become a shackle.

Because the Mu Family required him, the entire Rong City needed him.

"Then is it really going to be so tough?" Gu Xiaoqi didn't care about any Mu Family. What Rong City, she only cared about whether this man was good or not!

"What can we do? A reliable doctor has already been found, no one can cure him, can we go find some strange doctor? Ninth Master can't take this risk." Shen Nan was helpless. He squatted on the ground and tears fell from the eyes of such a big man.

The rain outside was still pouring down. Mu Liancheng lost his mind and struggled continuously, the ice bed under his feet had already been drenched half an inch in blood, his mouth still calling out nonstop — — "Qi, Qi, Qi …"

"I'm here, I'm here, I've always been here." Gu Xiaoqi's nightgown was wet, her lips were purple from the cold, and her body was trembling uncontrollably.

She pressed her face against Mu Liancheng's face, gently coaxing him as she sang an indescribably melodious hibernation song.

Sitting alone while lying down, Gu Xiaoqi felt a sense of familiarity, as if something like this had happened before.

It was an empty room, surrounded by glass cabinets that were filled to the brim with test tubes. Inside the room, there were dozens of sickbeds lined up side by side, and each of them had a person lying on them. "She" was sitting on one of the beds, holding out her small hands …

Ah!" An intense headache came. Gu Xiao Qi opened her arms and hugged Mu Liancheng's head.

Gu Xiaoqi could not help but groan. She seemed to see a man wearing a white coat walking over, and although his appearance could not be seen clearly, he held a white needle in his hand, which was filled with a light blue liquid.

"No, no, don't come over here!" Gu Xiaoqi's body instinctively felt fear as she retreated, tore away at random, and accidentally drew on her arm. Several streaks of blood oozed out blood, some flowing onto the ice bed, some dripping onto Mu Liancheng's body.

Suddenly, Mu Liancheng who was tied to the chain started to struggle intensely, and bit onto Gu Xiaoqi's leg.

Gu Xiaoqi was instantly awakened by the pain. She woke up from the hallucination and watched the man bite her skin and suck it in.

Seeing that it was not good, Shen Nan immediately ran over to help, but was stopped by Gu Xiaoqi, "Don't come over!"

Shen Nan did not dare to move again.

She watched as the blood was swallowed into Mu Liancheng's mouth, and then, the man's eyes gradually became clear, and his body no longer twitched.

As time passed, Mu Liancheng had completely quietened down. Her face was already pale and almost transparent, but there was a warm smile on her face.

Shen Nan could not bear to turn his head. At this moment, he had no choice but to admit that he had no right to question Gu Xiaoqi's feelings towards the Ninth Master.

Gu Xiaoqi lost too much blood, and after being agitated by the ice bed, her vision began to turn black, and in the end, she could no longer endure it any longer and fainted.

The instant she closed her eyes, Mu Liancheng finally regained consciousness. Using a heart wrenching rate of practice, he undid the iron chains.

Then she quickly hugged her in her arms, "Xiao Qi, what's wrong!"

Mu Liancheng carried the person down, and felt that the person in his embrace was so icy that their bones could pierce through.

Shen Nan followed behind wordlessly. The sharp blade in Ninth Master's eyes from before had scared him so much that his legs were still weak.

Mu Liancheng carried her into bed and laid her down beside him. He stuffed her hands into his pockets and continued to rub her.

The family doctor came very quickly, and because of Mu Liancheng's instructions, he brought along all the blood transfusion equipment.

After losing two whole bags of blood, Gu Xiaoqi's face finally turned red.

Gu Xiaoqi's entire body was like a cooked prawn as hot air came out from the top of her head.

Her brows were tightly knitted, and her body was writhing uneasily. Her mouth did not stop muttering: "Big brother Lian, big brother, don't be afraid. Xiao Qi, accompany you, Brother Lian …"

Hearing Gu Xiaoqi's words, a trace of pain quickly flashed across Mu Liancheng's usually expressionless face. He muttered in a tone that sounded like it was coaxing a child: "Xiao Qi be good, big brother is fine. After we leave, big brother will buy a house full of princess dresses for you and then reconstruct a crystal house …"

Mu Liancheng patiently said, the expression on his face was so tender that it could drip water, probably because of his words, Gu Xiaoqi gradually quietened down and did not struggle anymore.

However, Mu Liancheng's face actually became ugly, he sorrowfully exclaimed: Destiny makes fools of people, it's good enough that he had to bear all these by himself, why did he have to torture Xiao Qi.

Mu Liancheng tightly hugged the woman in his embrace, and secretly swore: My Xiao Qi, this time, I will definitely not lose you!
