Chapter 450 - Your Life Is More Important
“Mobai, weren’t you on the Xuantian Continent? How did you…” Feng Tianlan raised her head as she looked into Si Mobai’s demonic face. Her eyes lingered on the zhusha on his forehead, which was red as blood. “Did you use the natal contract?”
Previously, Si Mobai forced her to let him sign a natal contract with her. One of the terms was that whenever she was in danger, he would be able to use his spiritual force to instantly teleport to wherever she was. However, the disadvantage of that was it would take a toll on him.
“How could you use it?! You should know that it will damage your spiritual force! Besides, you won’t be able to regain your spiritual energy for a month. What if—”
“So what?” Si Mobai said indifferently.
Feng Tianlan was cut off abruptly. She stared at him with her phoenix eyes. “Mobai—”
“Your life is more important than anything else.” Si Mobai opened the door to her room and began to close it behind them.
At this exact same moment, the door at the end of the corridor was pushed open as Shen Yunya walked out. She glanced at the room which Si Mobai was entering as she closed the door behind her slowly. She frowned instinctively. It was that unusual-looking man.
Feng Tianlan thought she saw a vaguely familiar figure through the gap in the closing door at the end of the corridor. But when she blinked, the door was already closed shut. The figure was gone. She must have been mistaken, after all it was late at night.
Si Mobai tucked Feng Tianlan into the bed carefully. “Rest well. Their lives are not at risk.”
“From now on, don’t use the natal contract to casually teleport anymore.” It cost too much.
Si Mobai sat by her bed and pushed her wisps of hair behind her ear. “Lan’er, do you really think my spiritual force is more important than your life?”
If he had not signed the natal contract with Lan’er, even if he was a foot away, not to mention being somewhere as far as the Xuantian Continent, he would have lost her by now.
If anything, at this moment, he was fully convinced of the importance of the natal contract.
“No, I just—” She was afraid that he would get hurt. She was also afraid that if he were to run into an enemy in his current condition, he wouldn’t have the strength to fight back.
“I can’t live in a world without you.” Si Mobai lowered his head and kissed her gently on her lips. “Besides, don’t forget that there is another term in the natal contract.”
Feng Tianlan’s face turned pale. The other term was that if she died, he would die as well. On the other hand, if he died, she could continue living!
Her life and death would directly affect his, but his life and death would not affect her at all. She was the only beneficiary of this contract.
What possessed him to want to sign such a disadvantageous natal contract with her?
“Mobai, why did you do that?” Feng Tianlan felt her bottom lip trembling. The thick barrier she created to protect her heart was being torn down layer by layer. If this kept going on, she wouldn’t be able to control her own feelings and he would easily take up the whole of her heart.
Why was he treating her so well, even to the point of being willing to sacrifice his own life? He doted on her so much, to the extent of being willing to keep his promise to her through a blood oath and even enforcing a natal contract to keep her safe.
“If you want me to be safe, you must cherish yourself.”
Feng Tianlan bit her lip, and as if she had made up her mind about a huge decision, she moved further into the bed. “Come up and rest with me.”
“Lan’er?” Si Mobai’s eyes brightened up like the Polaris.
Feng Tianlan blushed hard under his gaze. The courage that she tried so hard to muster up dropped slightly. She turned her back to him and tilted up her head. In a spoilt tone, she said, “If you don’t want to, then forget it.”
His body was definitely very weak now after having used the natal contract to save her. She knew that while she was in a coma, he definitely did not take care of himself and went without rest to watch over her. She was afraid that he would collapse at this rate.
“No, I want to,” Si Mobai said in a low voice and a straight face. He took off his shoes and lay stiffly on top of the bed. He didn’t dare to move about. His pale face turned an odd shade of red.
