Long Chen knew something terrible had happened the moment he heard the explosion from the Pill Furnace.
He and Jiang Tong hurriedly rushed into the basement.
The basement was a mess at this point.
Beside the cracked Pill Furnace, Tang Ying lay on the ground, unconscious, her face covered in blood and scorched by the flames, rendering her almost unrecognizable.
Even Long Chen found the sight heart-wrenching.
"Long Brother, what can we do?" Jiang Tong asked, tears streaming down her face, utterly frantic.
She and Tang Ying had lived together for several years.
Although they often bickered, their bond was very deep, not like sisters but better than sisters.
Now, seeing Tang Ying in such a tragic state, her face disfigured, Jiang Tong felt immense heartache.
Long Chen crouched down, lifted Tang Ying into his arms and softly told Jiang Tong, "Don't be afraid, she'll be okay."
Having said that, Long Chen quickly carried Tang Ying up to the third floor.
