"Hmm~" As the magic power entered her body, Leona, who had been frowning before, suddenly let out a soft moan. Her voice was full of comfort, which made Zhang Ye raise his eyebrows.
I don't understand. I really don't understand...
The surface temperature of Leona's body was estimated to be seventy or eighty degrees Celsius and was still rising. Even though Zhang Ye was grasping her arm which had a relatively lower temperature, he still felt as if his palm was about to be burned. It was terribly hot!
Moreover, when he grabbed Leona's hand, the magic power in his body began to flow into Leona's body at a terrifying speed. At this rate, his magic power would be drained in less than twenty seconds. Even with the magic power recovery, it wouldn't be enough!
"Immediately enter meditation and practice to accelerate the recovery of magic power!" Aira said.
Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment and said, "Can I still practice at this time?"
"Why not?" Aira said, "As long as you can meditate, you can practice as usual. Hurry up. Otherwise, once the magic power supply is insufficient, she may have a complete magic riot at any time!"
"By then, you definitely won't be able to escape the range of the magic riot. You'll have to die with her!"
"Who said I'm going to run away!" Zhang Ye gritted his teeth. In just a short while, his hands had already been burned. If his physique hadn't reached the third rank, he wouldn't have been able to hold on long ago.
But even so, the pain of his burned hands still made him clench his teeth tightly. Coupled with the heat wave hitting his face, he felt that his situation was really bad.
The magic power in his body was being sucked wildly, giving him a cold and empty feeling. But outside his body, there were continuous heat waves. It was like being in the hell of ice and fire!
Although Zhang Ye had thought about the pleasure of ice and fire before, it definitely wasn't this kind!
"When you wake up, if you don't marry me to repay my kindness, you'll owe me!" Zhang Ye gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and forcibly ignored his constantly burning palms and entered meditation practice.
He had originally thought that the pain would be reduced after entering meditation practice. But the fact was—it still hurt as much!
But there was no other way. Under meditation practice, his magic power recovery was three times that of usual, barely keeping up with the speed at which Leona absorbed magic power. Moreover, the magic power in his body had just been sucked vigorously, and now only one-fifth was left. And from now on, the magic power supply to Leona couldn't stop for a moment. So he could only keep it like this at the moment.
Pain... Pain... It hurts so much...
I'm afraid of pain...
He felt as if his hands were being boiled in boiling water. The intense pain almost made his whole body tremble. Several times, he almost quit the meditation practice. Fortunately, with Aira's reminders, he managed to hold on.
But the pain became more and more intense. He even smelled a fragrance.
Fragrance... Oh my god, are my hands cooked?!
Should I add some honey so that I can die with a nice smell?
But at this moment, Zhang Ye couldn't care about so much anymore.
Because he couldn't feel the existence of his hands anymore. The sensation in his palms disappeared, and the burning sensation began to spread upward from his palms.
Gradually, there was also a smell of burning.
He knew that his palms had already been burned to a crisp. Next would be his arms. If he continued like this, his arms would also be cooked.
The intense pain made the veins on his forehead bulge. He even wanted to just faint like this.
"Damn it... It hurts so much!" He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know how those firefighters can endure the temperature of the fire..."
"Firefighters are really great!"
Aira: "..."
Is this the time to say this?!
Time passed by minute by minute. Zhang Ye didn't know how long he had lasted like this. All he knew was that his hair seemed to have been burned and curled up, his whole body's clothes were baked yellow and wrinkled, and he felt the intense pain as if his whole body was burned.
His whole body was burned.
The indoor temperature was forty or fifty degrees Celsius, and Leona's body surface temperature had already exceeded a hundred degrees Celsius. What's more, as he was so close to Leona, the temperature around him reached eighty or ninety degrees Celsius. At this temperature, it was almost like being slowly roasted.
He felt that he might be almost cooked on the outside and tender on the inside.
He didn't even know how he endured the intense pain that came like a tide.
Maybe it was because if he couldn't endure it, he would die.
Or maybe it was because his hands had lost their sensation and he couldn't let go.
Anyway, he kept 坚持着.
In the end, his consciousness became hazy, and he was just meditating passively.
Suddenly, a white light flashed.
He reached the fourth rank, and the [Copy and Analyze] magic of analysis and replication could exceed his own rank by two levels.
And this also made him regain some clarity.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
All his sweat had dried up. He had lost too much water. His lungs were burned by the hot air, and his throat hurt as if it was being cut by a knife. He couldn't make a sound at all.
Suddenly, Leona's body temperature dropped rapidly and seemed to return to normal. And Zhang Ye also felt that Leona no longer absorbed his magic power.
Finally... Is it over...
He thought in his heart that he had been burned like this. He didn't know if he could recover in the future.
I have such a handsome face. It can't be disfigured!
However, this was a fantasy world. Everything was possible. So he should be able to recover... right?
Thinking like this, his consciousness relaxed, and he fell into darkness.
And as Zhang Ye fainted, Aira's figure also disappeared.
She was a system spirit. Only when Zhang Ye was conscious could she manifest a physical body. Once Zhang Ye fainted, she could only return to Zhang Ye's consciousness space.
Just at the moment when she disappeared, Leona opened her eyes.
Her left eye was covered in darkness, and her pupil showed an evil purple color. But in the next moment, the darkness and purple color all gathered towards her pupil, like a black hole being completely absorbed, and her pupil returned to the fiery red color like a ruby.
Her eyes were shining with excitement.
Success!
The power of the Demon Realm had submitted!
From now on, this invading power of the Demon Realm would turn into her power and make her stronger!
And all of this... was because of the guy beside her.
She turned her head to look at Zhang Ye.
She found that he was sitting cross-legged beside her, grasping her arm.
When she was fighting against the power of the Demon Realm, her magic power was about to be exhausted. Just when she thought that all her previous efforts would be in vain, a stream of magic power flowed into her body. The comfortable feeling made her couldn't help moaning.
Then she began to greedily absorb that magic power, continuously and without stopping.
She had also wondered where the magic power came from.
Because when she closed her perception and fought with all her strength against the power of the Demon Realm, Zhang Ye was only at the second rank and shouldn't have had such a large amount of magic power. But now she knew that she was wrong.
In just a few days, she was surprised to find that Zhang Ye had reached the fourth rank!
And he also had a larger magic power reserve than ordinary fourth-rank people!
But at this time, his aura had become extremely weak. His body surface was seriously burned, the epidermis had peeled off, his hair was charred and would break at a touch, and his hands were completely blackened, almost unrecognizable as human hands.
Looking at Zhang Ye's face that was burned beyond recognition, her gaze became softer.
She stretched out her hand and gently stroked his face. A magnetic voice came.
"Could you be so desperate just to make me marry you?"
"Nice guy."
After saying that, gentle flames condensed in her hand and covered Zhang Ye's body. But it didn't burn him. On the contrary, Zhang Ye's extremely serious injuries began to recover at a visible speed. The clothes that were baked dry also slowly unfolded.
[The Breath of the Phoenix]!
After a while, his injuries were seventy to eighty percent healed, except for his hands.
His hands were burned too seriously. Even with Leona's healing magic, it couldn't cure them in a short time.
She moved her arm and found that Zhang Ye was still tightly grasping her hand.
And when she moved like this, Zhang Ye actually let out a soft groan and began to inject magic power into Leona's body.
Leona was stunned for a moment, but then found that Zhang Ye was still in a coma.
She looked at Zhang Ye with an even softer gaze. Suddenly, she chuckled softly, gently pried open Zhang Ye's hand, and gently tapped her finger on Zhang Ye's forehead. Immediately, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed, a peaceful expression appeared on his face, and his breathing became even.
Leona laid Zhang Ye flat.
"Why did you save me?" She lay sideways beside Zhang Ye, propped her cheek with her hand, looked at his handsome face like this, and asked softly, more like talking to herself.
"You clearly don't know me. Why did you endure such pain to send magic power to me?"
"Ordinary fourth-rank people don't have as much magic power as you. Who on earth are you?"
Speaking of this, a figure suddenly appeared in her mind.
That year, she was sixteen years old.
In the Lion City of Fire, ruins, sea of fire, screams...
All of this was caused by her.
The flames in her body began to rage. She thought that she would die in this raging fire, taking the whole city's people with her. But at the last moment, she was saved by that person.
She asked why he saved her.
She was clearly a sinner!
He said, "Does saving someone need a reason?"
She cried, crying loudly. That person pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "Don't cry. Face life with a smile."
"But I caused all of this. I'm a sinner!" She cried.
"You're not a sinner. You're Leona."
"You're the one who will become the strongest Red Lotus Lion in the Carlo Mon family in the future!"
"But, but I'm a girl. How can I become a Red Lotus Lion?"
"What's wrong with being a girl?" That person smiled and said, "You should know that it's the female lions that hunt on the prairie!"
"Come on, have a piece of chewing gum. This is called being open-minded. Hehe, being open-minded and laughing makes you stronger!"
"Only by laughing can you become stronger."
"The more heroic your laugh is, the stronger you'll become!"
"Okay, it's time. It's time to say goodbye." That person smiled.
"Are you leaving?" She asked, "What's your name? Will we meet again in the future?"
"Yeah, I'm leaving. As for my name, you'll know it later."
"I promise you that we'll meet again."
"By then, you have to..." Before she finished speaking, that person disappeared in front of Leona.
She couldn't remember what he looked like. Or rather, he was wearing a mask at that time, so she couldn't see his appearance. And his voice also gradually became 模糊 with her memory.
But Leona knew that it was that person who changed her whole life.
It was he who made her what she was now.
She wanted to find him, let him see how strong she had become, and let him hear how heroic her laugh was!
And today, she met another guy.
A guy who saved her without any reason, just like that person.
Didn't he want her to marry him? How could there be no reason?
No, Leona could feel that he saved her not because he wanted her to marry him at all.
Would anyone risk their life for beauty?
Maybe there were some, but definitely not him. Because during these days when he was in a coma, he didn't have any improper behavior. Except for feeding her, there was very little physical contact.
Would such a person risk his life to save someone for beauty?
Impossible.
She was very curious about why Zhang Ye saved her.
She decided to wait for him to wake up and ask him clearly.
