The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!-Chapter 1310 - 1305: Xiao Muyan’s Self-Inflicted Woes

Chapter 1310: Chapter 1305: Xiao Muyan’s Self-Inflicted Woes

He wept miserably, a middle-aged man facing death and only begging for the lives of his wife and daughter, already devoid of any dignity.

Yet Xiao Yu ignored him, simply lifting the hem of his robe and gently shaking him off.

Chasing Shadow’s blade sliced off the man’s head, and the blood-stained head rolled down the stairs, blending into the pile of blood and corpses, becoming less conspicuous and somewhat indifferent.

Xiao Yu gazed upon the scene of slaughter before him, seemingly weary. He massaged his temples, recalling the time when he was trapped in Gorge Skyline Canyon.

He too had wanted to forsake his dignity like the man just now, to negotiate with others, to trade his life for theirs, but unfortunately, heaven did not give him the chance.

The Gu corpses at the foot of the mountain simply couldn’t be bargained with.

And he could only watch as Miaoyan and Ningning in his arms grew weaker by the day, each moment more unbearable than the last.

At the instant Ning’er could not cry, he felt an unprecedented hatred.

Emptiness, remorse, powerlessness, vulnerability… various emotions swept over him.

Some of these feelings he had experienced during the years of his illness, but others were entirely new to him, the eldest legitimate son of the Xiao family, something he had never felt since birth.

In his past twenty-eight years of life, he had never imagined that one day his children would suffer from hunger, from illness with no doctors in sight.

The aunt who had raised him as if she were his mother ended her own life to lessen their burden.

“Young Master has been much happier since marrying the young madam!”

“Young Master, don’t spoil the young madam too much. The burdens of the Xiao family are still heavy.”

“Young Master… this maid begs you one last time, if Miaoyan cannot become the madam of the Xiao family, you must not be soft-hearted anymore.”

Aunt Yun, with tears on her face, made a painful and resolute expression that appeared in his mind.

Xiao Yu moved his lips, a voice rose in his heart:

“Aunt, not anymore.”

Soft-hearted.

He would not be so again.

As for his Ning’er…

It seemed they were not destined to have a father-son bond in this life. He did not dare to hope that Ying Yi and Ying Er could safely escort him out. When he had entrusted his child to them, his own breathing was already faint.

“Ning’er, goodbye.”

Xiao Yu looked toward the gradually whitening sky and whispered softly.

One-Line Sky Canyon.

Xiao Muyan had been disgracefully chased from her home, fleeing all the way to this place, with a group of unconscious, man-eating Gu corpses in tow. It had been three days. She hadn’t had a drop to drink or a bite to eat, but what was worse was the wound on her chest, throbbing incessantly, swollen and painful. At the site of the stitches, a yellowish liquid had begun to ooze out.

The past two days she had endured, but today, before the sky had even brightened, the pain brutally awoke her.

“Ah!!! Rong Sheng!!!”

Why, why was she in so much pain?

Hadn’t Rong Sheng just said it was for fat extraction? Why was there necrosis and pus, and such nerve-wracking pain?

Thirsty and hungry, Xiao Muyan rolled on the muddy ground. When she could no longer bear it, she shouted at the group of Gu corpses at the mouth of the canyon, “Go… go find me something to eat! Water and food!”

If she didn’t eat soon, she would starve to death!

If she died of hunger and thirst, how would she return to Chen Ruobai’s side and help her achieve greatness?

But the gu corpse at the door wouldn’t listen to her at all, and instead, one of the gu corpses seemed to have developed some awareness. It suddenly turned its face to look at Xiao Muyan, its skin and flesh rotten completely, and one of its eye sockets was empty, lacking an eyeball. The other eye stared at Xiao Muyan, scaring her so much that her soul almost flew out, and she immediately rolled backwards in pain, tumbling twice.

Then the gu corpse stopped moving, hanging in front of Xiao Muyan with such a horrifying appearance. She couldn’t take it and threw up, vomiting on the ground where she had rolled.

The smell was both foul and fishy.

Xiao Muyan looked at herself, covered in filth, and couldn’t stand it any longer—she almost cried from disgust.

But she must survive!

With great effort, she propped up her will and dragged her hunched body outside, each step as difficult as climbing a mountain.

She wanted to find some water to quench her thirst and some food in these deep mountains, but after walking a long distance, she found nothing.

Not to mention water or fruits, even the edible grass roots and tree barks had been stripped clean. By chance, she spotted a fresh little tender grass, and like a starving ghost, she pounced on it and pulled it up by the roots to chew on.

Bitter and astringent!

Taste so awful it was extreme!

Such things would never be found in the Xiao family—she wouldn’t even see them!

But now… she had to rely on it to fill her stomach, and to her pathetic realization, aside from that small tender grass, which might have grown freshly after rain, there was nothing else around!

All the edible grass roots had been dug clean, leaving traces of a knife!

Xiao Muyan cautiously got up, wondering if Xiao Yu might have sent people after her.

But looking at the loose soil, she realized these were not recent marks, but from a month ago.

A month ago…

Wasn’t Xiao Yu trapped in the canyon at that time?

“Damn it!”

Xiao Muyan kicked the ground fiercely out of anger!

She was actually filling her stomach with wild grass that Xiao Yu didn’t want—what a humiliation!

Shameful!

However, soon she could no longer care about whether it was shameful.

She had to keep searching for any edible grass roots or tree barks, no matter how pitiful, just to fill her stomach so she wouldn’t starve to death—anything would do!

But she searched for a long time, and by nightfall, she had only eaten one grass blade and two thin grass roots.

Not to mention not being full, her mouth still had the taste of dirt, a disgusting earthy flavor, and the gritty feeling of dirt.

Dragging her exhausted body back into the canyon, just to clear her mouth of these gritty particles, she vomited for a long time—it was torturous and miserable.

Such a feeling, she had never experienced in over twenty years of her life!

This was even worse than pretending to be a man since she came of age, an even bigger injustice!

Xiao Muyan sat in a spot blocked from the wind by a gu corpse, crying out with resentment as she rested, “Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu, I will surely kill you! I will tear you to pieces!”

The suffering she endured today, she would make Xiao Yu pay back a thousand times, a hundredfold!

But shortly after she made this vow, her body began to change in an uncontrollable way, like something was swelling from inside, and her legs started to visibly… wither.

“What’s happening? Someone, save me! Save me!”

Xiao Muyan cried out in panic, but in this canyon, except for her, a live person, all that remained was a group of gu corpses that could only be moved by flute sounds. No one could call for help for her, nor could any gu corpse save her.

All night long, Xiao Muyan wailed terribly in pain, making those outside the canyon find the sound… particularly pleasant.
