Chapter 4431
Lin Keting let out a scream, her eyes squeezed shut as tears streamed down her face in despair!
In that very moment, a sudden buzzing noise filled the air, and to her astonishment, the restraints binding her vanished.
Even the grand halls surrounding her seemed to dissolve into nothingness!
As she spotted Kai rushing toward her, Lin Keting turned on her heels and fled, shouting, “If you dare to touch me, my master and my father will make you pay dearly. They will torture you to death!”
With that, she gripped the life-preserving jade pendant tightly, preparing to shatter it if necessary!
“Don’t run! Please, don’t run! I haven’t been taken over yet…”
Seeing her terrified tears, Kai called out urgently!
Lin Keting halted, her gaze scrutinizing Kai, her grip on the jade pendant unyielding, ready to use it at a moment’s notice!
“You really haven’t been taken over?”
She questioned, skepticism lacing her voice.
“Honestly, that small remnant soul? It’s no match for me. I would have obliterated it in my sea of consciousness long ago.”
“Didn’t you notice that your restraints and the grand hall have vanished?”
Kai urged her, trying to reassure her!
Lin Keting took a closer look and realized he was right. She then glared at Kai and said, “Fine, if you dare to lie to me, just moments ago, if I hadn’t run, would you have…”
She couldn’t bring herself to finish the thought!
“No, I was just joking! How could I actually do something like that? I’m still human, after all.”
“But you mentioned that your father and your master wouldn’t let me go. Who are they?”
“And what did that guy mean by old Taoist? Is your father a Taoist priest?”
Kai seized this chance to learn more about Lin Keting!
He recalled that Taoist priests could indeed marry and have children. Back in Thunderbolt Guan, Taoist Master Bu Xu had a daughter, making it entirely possible that Lin Keting’s father was an old Taoist!
“My father is a Taoist, and my whole family practices Taoism. Don’t even think about digging into my background; I won’t share anything.”
“You big bad guy, you almost took advantage of me…”
Lin Keting huffed, turning away in frustration!
It was clear she was genuinely angry, especially after the terror she had just experienced!
She had braced herself for a far worse fate.
“Ah…” Kai gasped, wanting to pursue her, but as he moved, a sharp pain shot through him, causing him to collapse!
His recent injuries flared up, and he couldn’t withstand the agony!
Lin Keting turned upon hearing Kai’s anguished cry, glancing back warily. “Stop pretending! Get up, don’t lie to me!”
Puff…
Kai coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face paling!
Seeing this, Lin Keting realized he wasn’t faking and rushed over, panic evident in her expression. “What’s wrong with you?”
“I’m afraid I’m going to die,” Kai replied, struggling to catch his breath!
Despite his robust physique, he felt as if he were falling apart at that moment!
“Is it that serious? Hurry and heal yourself! Do you have any pills?”
Lin Keting asked, flustered and at a loss!
Kai nodded, “I have some, but they’re all in my storage ring. I can’t access them right now, and with my strength sealed, I can’t heal my injuries.”
Puff!
Just after he spoke, Kai spat out another mouthful of blood!
Lin Keting, now frantic, rushed to wipe the blood from his mouth. “If you could regain your strength, could you heal yourself?”
“Of course I could! I’m a pharmacist. The problem is this seal; I can’t recover my strength here.”
Kai sighed lightly, then helplessly added, “You don’t need to worry about me; go find the others and escape this place…”
“No way! I told you I wouldn’t abandon you. Don’t worry, I have a way to help you regain your strength!”
After Lin Keting declared this, she seemed to make a significant decision. She stepped aside and began to chant under her breath!
