Chapter 89: Capital
The wise may plan a thousand times and still suffer a single loss.
In this world, there is no such thing as being truly infallible or holding a sure victory.
Just when you think everything is sailing smoothly, something unexpected will always occur.
Heaven seems to be reminding you that it is the true master of all things.
……
The night was deep and quiet, the bonfire burning brightly.
Lu Jianjia paced back and forth, holding several handkerchiefs, as she wiped the wounds of Gu Shiyi.
Gu Shiyi had collapsed after defeating the Storm Human Eagle.
His injuries were grave; the sharp talons of the Storm Human Eagle were capable of crushing rocks, let alone human flesh and blood.
Several pieces of flesh were missing from his body. Wang Xu had performed magic to help his wounds knit, but scars were inevitable.
Hongxiao took a blood-stained handkerchief from Lu Jianjia’s hand, tilted her head back, and wrung it out, swallowing every drop of blood that flowed from it.
In truth, she longed to crawl onto Gu Shiyi and drink from him directly, but she knew that would cause her to lose her sanity.
Even though it was mixed with plenty of river water, Hongxiao still found the taste incredibly sweet, and she even licked her red lips.
Wang Xu’s expression was somewhat awkward. She blinked and said, “If you don’t want me to do this, I will stop.”
Wang Xu shook her head. “It’s fine, this is good for you.”
“I don’t want you to drink it,” Lu Jianjia said, pouting.
