After talking with Gu Yuena all night, early the next morning she took Xu Ran back to Tiandou City.
To make Xu Ran more comfortable, Gu Yuena even found some fine wood to make a wheelchair for him. It seemed that for the better half of the following month, Xu Ran would have to live in a wheelchair.
"Xu Ran, how are you feeling? Are your injuries better?"
Just after returning to the academy, the girls immediately surrounded Xu Ran, showing him their warm concern. Seeing the injuries on Xu Ran's body, they felt incredibly heartbroken, particularly Ye Lingling. Seeing Xu Ran confined to a wheelchair, she couldn't help but sit aside and sob quietly.
"My injuries aren't a big deal, I should be fine after resting for about half a month. It's not as though we're parting in life or death, so why cry?" Xu Ran said, feeling a bit annoyed, yet a warm sensation rose in his heart.
"You all should go. Just leave one person to take care of me," Xu Ran waved his hand, feeling somewhat uneasy at this moment, as if sensing something was about to happen.
"Oh, then rest well, Xu Ran."
"Xu Ran, call us if you need anything."
The girls agreed and looked at Xu Ran with reluctance, not wanting to leave him even for a step. However, they also knew that given Xu Ran's condition, he needed to rest properly without disturbances.
"Sisters, you go back first. I'll stay and take care of him alone," Ye Lingling volunteered, looking at the other girls. Xu Ran had been seriously injured because of her, and naturally, she had a lot on her mind that she wanted to say.
"Xu Ran, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I really had no idea that trying to break the curse on me would put you in such great danger."
"Had I known earlier, I definitely would not have allowed you to take such a risk."
After everyone had left the room, Ye Lingling couldn't help but cry again.
Dressed in a black long dress, her tear-stricken appearance was especially pitiable.
At this moment, Ye Lingling still despised herself deeply.
If it weren't for her, Xu Ran wouldn't have gotten hurt.
"I've told you, it's not your fault. The Rakshasa God's attack had another reason. Even if I hadn't helped you, he would have found another opportunity to attack me," Xu Ran shook his head.
He posed a threat to Tang San, which was why the Rakshasa God wanted to kill him.
The Rakshasa God was always incredibly unscrupulous, daring to attack even the Asura God's Inheritor, Bi Bidong, and Tang Chen. Tang Chen became the King of Slaughter, turning into a wreck who needed to drink blood to maintain his sanity. As for Bi Bidong, as the Killing God of Slaughter City, she didn't even inherit the Asura God's inheritance and was directly intercepted by him.
Such a person would eventually set his sights on Xu Ran.
Before, perhaps he refrained from attacking in hopes of leading Tang San towards corruption. Now, Tang San has completely merged with the aura of the Rakshasa God, and there was no longer any need for him to guide Tang San towards corruption.
Even if he hadn't helped Ye Lingling, the Rakshasa God would have soon found an opportunity to attack him. With the enemy hidden and himself exposed, it would have been even more troublesome.
Therefore, when the System's Miss reminded Xu Ran, he did not back down; rather, he wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the Rakshasa God. It's just that he hadn't anticipated what happened later.
Now, what troubled him the most was Gu Yuena.
This reckless woman had exposed herself, which was the biggest hassle.
If the Divine Realm really came at some point, what was he supposed to do, fight them with his head?
"Xu Ran, do you really not blame me?" Ye Lingling asked between sobs, her shoulders shaking with each breath, her gaze filled with guilt as she looked at Xu Ran. She was afraid that Xu Ran would dislike her because of this.
"Why would I blame you? You're my treasure. Now that there are no restrictions, we can have as many children as we like in the future," Xu Ran said playfully, looking at Ye Lingling's figure, soft and charming. It was a pity that his current physical condition didn't allow for more, otherwise, he could have added another to his "Harem."
This damned body's restrictions!
But to be fair, as he lay in bed not moving, Lingling moved, which seemed not to be entirely unreasonable. After all, his injury was on his chest, and he couldn't engage in vigorous activities, but Lingling could.
"Lingling is yours, whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it, you can." Ye Lingling said passionately, her eyes brimming with tears. She had already fallen for Xu Ran before, and after experiencing such an event, she was even more certain that her love was Xu Ran, and could only be Xu Ran.
Xu Ran had risked life and death for her, even daring to make an enemy of the Rakshasa God.
Her strength was not formidable, so she couldn't join Xu Ran in battle, but as a girl, she could care for Xu Ran in her own way, making him happy and content.
"Really, anything goes?" Xu Ran gave a start, then said, his gaze becoming even more unrestrained.
Even Xiaowu and Zhu Qing wouldn't dare let him do as he pleased.
Because they knew that doing so would genuinely be maddening.
Now, Ye Lingling had spoken such words, which couldn't help but stir his emotions.
"Lingling is already your maid; from that moment on, I had decided. A mistress can do anything to her maid, and the maid cannot oppose." Ye Lingling stated, her expression unchanged, still gazing lovingly at Xu Ran.
She knew Xu Ran's principles; how bad could Xu Ran really get?
She had heard from Yan Yan that many boys have some quirks, even some that are hard to accept, behaviors that could shame a girl to death. But she liked Xu Ran, so she could give him everything.
And since Xu Ran was a gentleman, he would not mistreat her either.
"In my heart, I am not your master, and you are not my maid. I have always regarded you as the love of my life." Xu Ran said tenderly, the peculiar light in his eyes fading, replaced by deep affection and compassion.
Ye Lingling, she was a good girl too.
"I know." Ye Lingling looked at Xu Ran, her pale cheeks flushing with a hint of red. Hearing Xu Ran's words, a wave of happiness surged in her heart, making her gaze towards him even softer.
In this lifetime, having Xu Ran is wonderful.
"Xu Ran, I'm glad I met Yan Yan, and met you. Having you in my life is wonderful." A sincere and beautiful smile emerged on Ye Lingling's pretty face.
Then clothes slid off, exposing a fair and delicate body in the air, which left Xu Ran staring, dumbfounded, his eyes heating up.
"Xu Ran, I've heard from Yan Yan that for some things, you don't need to move. Your body is still weak now; let me handle everything." Ye Lingling struggled to move Xu Ran to the bed, her tender hands and fair, silky skin touching Xu Ran, making him feel overwhelmed.
What is this situation?
Could it really be that sort of... um... a reverse role?
But could Ye Lingling, such a frail girl, endure it? It is known that girls are delicate, especially the first time; it could be life or death.
But to tell the truth, lying in bed unable to move was indeed quite dull. If Lingling could keep him company in the future, these couple of weeks might not seem so tedious after all.
Favors from a beauty are the hardest to repay. In such a situation, he had no way to refuse.
"Xu Ran, don't stop me; I've actually been waiting for this day for a long time," Ye Lingling said, looking down, her eyes involuntarily darting to a particular spot on Xu Ran, turning her pale with fright, but her gaze was as determined as ever.
Xu Ran had been through life and death for her, endured such humiliation; she wanted to do something for Xu Ran too.
