There are many black scales on Candice's body that pierce into her skin like blades, reflecting a dim light in the sun.

In some places, deep scars were left, and even the white of the broken bones could be vaguely seen deep in the wounds. The blood had already coagulated, revealing dark red scabs.

Candice's breathing was weak, like a gossamer, and she leaned pale and weakly in Xing Feng's arms.

As if she felt a familiar warmth or a familiar breath, the unconscious girl hurriedly curled up in Xing Feng's arms for shelter, and she couldn't help but let out a few pitiful whimpers from the depths of her throat.

Seeing this, the adventurer nearby mistakenly thought that Xing Feng was the owner of this demi-human.

So she said with apology and helplessness: "Sorry, this is all our fault. We will compensate you with a new slave..."

But before he could finish his words, Xing Feng's anger had already erupted.

His eyes shot towards the adventurer like a sharp sword.

"Candice is no one's slave! She's my friend!"

Xing Feng had never been so angry before, and every word he uttered was filled with unquestionable anger.

For a moment, the surroundings became silent.

Xing Feng no longer paid attention to other people's reactions, and his full attention returned to Candice.

"Candice, everything's going to be okay."

Farah watched the scene quietly from a distance, a complex emotion revealed in her eyes.

Perhaps, Candice is much more difficult to deal with than she thought, and she holds a considerable position in Xing Feng's heart.

But she still walked forward quickly and stood next to Xing Feng.

...

It hurts... it hurts so much...

Candice felt as if her whole body was about to be cut open. When she opened her eyes, she suddenly realized that she was out of danger and back to her familiar home.

She stared at the ceiling with dull eyes, and her mind couldn't help but replay the scene when she faced the Dark Iron Scale Beast. The feeling of being stared at by death was so real and terrifying that she couldn't help but tremble every time she thought of it.

In the past, she might not have been afraid of death at all, but once she had something to worry about, the fear of death made her weak.

Candice slowly sat up from the bed. Her body still felt weak, but when she checked her injuries, she found that her skin was extremely smooth and did not look injured at all.

At this time, Xing Feng, who had just bandaged his wound outside the door, also saw Candice waking up.

He walked quickly into the room and came to her bedside.

"Benefactor, you again..." No matter how stupid Candice was, she knew that Xing Feng must have fed her blood again.

This made her feel a strong sense of guilt again.

Xing Feng smiled awkwardly and hid his right hand.

It was just a minor injury for him, but facing Candice's serious injuries, Farah's medicine was not as effective as his own blood.

So he secretly fed Candice blood after Farah left home.

While feeding Candice blood, he also tasted his own blood to verify it.

As expected, the blood had absolutely no effect on healing his injuries.

Fortunately, seeing Candice finally wake up, Xing Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Candice's cat eyes, which were full of curiosity and vitality, seemed to have lost their luster, leaving only deep sadness.

Her cat ears drooped unconsciously, clinging to her hair.

Tears welled up in her yellow-orange eyes. As she broke down emotionally, the tears finally overflowed from her eyes and slowly slid down her cheeks.

At this moment, she was in deep self-blame and guilt, and every drop of her tears carried her apology to Xing Feng.

There was a sense of powerlessness and despair in her fragile and uneasy cry, which was the truest emotion revealed from the bottom of her heart.

This was the first time Candice cried in front of Xing Feng.

Although she was an adult, the sight of her crying still made Xing Feng panic.

Is it that something hasn't been healed yet? Or is it that something still hurts?

"Candice, are you still feeling uncomfortable? Why don't you drink some more..."

As Xing Feng was about to untie the bandage on his hand, he was held down by Candice with both hands.

She quickly shook her head and choked up as she spoke: "My benefactor...you shouldn't have saved me...Candice is not qualified..."

Her lips trembled slightly, her voice became hoarse, and she gently pushed Xing Feng's hand away.

"What are you talking about? What happened?"

Looking at Candice like this, Xing Feng felt extremely confused. This was nothing like the girl he remembered.

So Xing Feng reached out and began to wipe Candice's tears.

Feeling her tears being wiped away drop by drop, Candice's guilt seemed to turn into a bitter gall, stuck in her throat.

Her voice was choked with guilt, and she squeezed out every word almost in self-torture.

"My benefactor, I...I am not worthy of your help. That night...I wanted to save you, but..."

As Candice paused, Xing Feng's body stiffened.

As if frightened by Candice's words, her body tensed up a little. Was it referring to that night...

Seeing Xing Feng's frightened expression, Candice took a deep breath. Although her heart was filled with pain, she knew she had to tell Xing Feng everything.

Even though her sister Becky kept emphasizing that she must not speak directly, she could no longer endure the torment in her heart.

So after a long silence, Candice finally took the lead in breaking the silence between the two.

"I was in heat that day... I couldn't control myself... When I regained consciousness, I actually... I became the one who hurt you."

As Candice spoke, she lowered her head and tears flowed down her eyes.

Her words were filled with deep self-blame, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting her fragile heart.

"My benefactor, I know you must hate me, and I am willing to accept all the treatment and punishment."

As she said that, Candice handed the dagger at her waist to Xing Feng again. She now only hoped that Xing Feng would stab her a few times to vent her anger.

This is better than letting her face Xing Feng with guilt all the time.

After hearing what Candice said, Xing Feng's brain went into a brief blackout.

That is to say, it was Candice who forced herself on him for the first time that night.

Xing Feng widened his eyes, extremely shocked by what Candice said, and at the same time, he felt an extremely indescribable feeling.

He should have been angry and should have completely cut off all ties with Candice. His subconscious mind was cursing Candice's shamelessness, but Xing Feng's subjective consciousness simply couldn't get angry.

Especially when he saw Candice, who was still sobbing, handing him the dagger.

At this moment, the anger and resentment in my heart seemed to turn into a powerless sigh.

Could he still attack Candice?

Xing Feng is not from this world, and it is even more impossible for him to risk his life over something like this.

To put it bluntly, the reason he felt pain and anger was because he fell in love with Farah.

But Candice forced herself to betray Farah.

Xing Feng sighed and continued to ask: "Then why did you end up like this today?"

Candice raised her head, tears sparkling in her eyes, and her voice trembled a little: "I...I came to make amends to you. I heard that among humans, making amends requires giving the other person a gift."

Candice lowered her head as she spoke, her eyes slightly red.

"But I have no money, so I can only go out hunting, and I want to make a set of armor for you as my apology... and then..."

At this moment, Xing Feng's heart was slightly touched.

He realized that everything Candice did was out of guilt towards him.

Her guilt, her efforts, and even her injuries are all because she wants to make up for her mistakes in her own way, even though this way puts herself in danger.

Xing Feng still remembers how Candice felt uncomfortable when she first entered the human world, and how long he had ignored the helpless Candice.

It takes two to tango. Xing Feng began to realize that he was not completely innocent and that he was partly to blame for all this.

It was he who never gave Candice a clear answer from beginning to end, it was he who had been ignoring Candice's courtship and trying to avoid Candice's closeness.

After Farah appeared, he focused most of his attention on Farah and completely forgot about Candice's existence.

Xing Feng stretched out his hand.

Candice instinctively shrank her head, then forced herself to raise it, hoping that Xing Feng would punish her.

Then, she felt Xing Feng gently wiping away the tears from her face.

The gentle voice seemed a little weak, and slowly said to her: "Let's not mention this matter again, okay?"

Xing Feng understood that things had already happened, so what was the point of being angry?

The only option he had now was to accept it and keep the matter buried forever.

Candice looked up at Xing Feng, the tears in her eyes gradually dissipated. This hard-earned understanding and tolerance was completely beyond her expectations.

Xing Feng's gentleness was like sunshine that could accommodate everything and embraced her tightly.

Candice nodded quickly and sniffed.

Although he has a mature body of an adult, he still acts like a child.

At this time, Xing Feng blushed and made a request: "But as an apology, you have to do me a favor. My injuries need treatment, so..."

Candice nodded hastily. She had been injured often in the tribe in the past and was very familiar with simple medicinal herbs.

It is not difficult to find herbs for Xing Feng. This is what she should do. How could she forget about it?

At this moment, Candice suddenly remembered her sister's warning: if she apologized to Xing Feng, she must mention that incident.

"My benefactor, there is actually one more thing. The person who kidnapped you that day was actually..."

"Eh?"

"Actually, Letty..."

?????

...

Chapter 101 "Exercise" the body

Rose collar,

In a huge mansion,

After Letty sealed the letter with ink, she handed it to her personal servant Xiaohua, with a serious look in her eyes.

"Xiaohua, please personally deliver this reply letter to my sister and make sure she receives it personally."

Xiaohua was stunned. Although delivering the letter was nothing to her, her top priority was to protect Letty's safety.

"Princess, this matter..."

Letty naturally saw Xiaohua's confusion. She came to Xiaohua, held her hand, and said in an unquestionable tone: "This letter concerns the Holy Son. I don't feel comfortable handing it to anyone except you, Xiaohua."

Letty raised her head, her purple pupils twinkling with stars of expectation. Such an eye attack was completely irresistible.

Xiaohua was naturally aware of the pros and cons. If the Son of God was found here, things would become extremely serious and might very well develop into a major trouble that would shock the entire country.

"Then Princess, your safety..." Xiaohua was still a little hesitant.

"Don't worry, I will hire someone to protect me. Besides, I'm not a child. You're just away for a few days, nothing will happen." Letty put her hands on her hips and said with a smile.

"Then Princess, I know a few acquaintances in the association, why don't we let them come..." Xiaohua was still a little worried, so she told Letty about the several strong men introduced to her by her friends in the association.

Letty nodded in agreement and said that she would go to the association to look for it later, and told Xiaohua to go and come back quickly as this matter was extremely urgent.

Xiaohua finally had no choice but to take the letter with a submissive look on her face.

"Yes, Princess, I will come back as soon as possible. Please protect yourself during this time."

Looking at the little flower going away, the relaxed smile on Letty's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a complicated expression.
