Chapter 433:I Said You Won’t Die
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the beginning, before the defensive barrier of Crimson Flame City was breached, some people charged outside the barrier, while others provided support from within.
Those who were injured sought ways to return to the barrier for healing.
As a result, many of the wounded had already entered the city.
Once the barrier was finally breached, the city gates were tightly shut. Those stranded outside had a grim decision to make: to either fight for their lives or succumb to certain death. Among the severely wounded, the ones who could cling to life were as rare as finding a needle in a haystack.
However, these individuals were all critically wounded and on the brink of death.
When the people of Crimson Flame City rescued them and saw their pitiable condition, their faces were filled with sorrow.
These injuries were too severe. If it were just one or two, they could fight desperately to save them. But with so many, it was simply impossible to save them all.
Qiu Moyuan was led to a corner of the wall, where he looked at the blood-soaked wounded lying on the ground. Tears welled up in his eyes.
“I’m sorry; it’s my fault,” Qiu Moyuan said as he knelt beside one of the injured individuals.
His hand hovered over the person’s chest, and white arcane power fell onto the wound.
“City Lord, please don’t blame yourself. I’m grateful… to have… witnessed Crimson Flame City turn the tide in this crisis. City… City Lord, there’s no need to expend your arcane power to heal me. It won’t make a difference. I’m aware that my time is near…”
This young man appeared to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. His eyes were clear, without a trace of despair or resentment despite facing imminent death.
Anyone who saw such a vibrant youth on the verge of death would feel heartbroken.
Gu Qingluan stepped forward and said, “You won’t die.”
“Guard… Guardian Princess…”
The young man had overheard their conversation just now and, upon seeing Gu Qingluan speak to him, smiled and said, “Thank you… Thank you for defending… Crimson Flame… I’ve heard about your deeds and… and 1 like you…”
Gu Qingluan squatted down, and a golden needle as thin as a cow’s hair pierced into his body.
The young man was stunned.
He experienced a sudden warmth in his chest, and the lost warmth seemed to swiftly return to his body.
That feeling of stepping into the netherworld vanished inexplicably.
Could it be because of the Guardian Princess?
Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow at him and said, “I told you, you won’t die.”
Qiu Moyuan was overjoyed when he saw this. “Miss Gu, can this young man really be cured?”
“Yes.”
The people who had followed along couldn’t stop marveling.
“It’s incredible! Such severe injuries, and he can survive with just one needle?”
“What do you mean? Are you questioning the Guardian Princess’ words? If she said he could live, he definitely can!”
Gu Qingluan stood up and said, “In fact, he hasn’t been completely healed yet. Right now, I’m just maintaining his current condition so that it doesn’t deteriorate further. To truly heal him, it will take at least half an hour. But there are still many injured, so for now, 1’11 use the golden needles to seal his meridians. We’ll proceed with treatment later.”
She turned to Qiu Moyuan and said, “Hurry and fetch more golden needles. I’ll need them for the treatment. The more, the better! Speed is crucial; time is life.”
Qiu Moyuan noticed that the young man’s vitality had indeed improved significantly after Gu Qingluan administered the needle.
If the young man can indeed survive, then there is hope for the others too!
At her current speed, she can save the lives of many injured individuals in a short amount of time!
Realizing this, Qiu Moyuan didn’t dare to delay and immediately ordered people to gather the golden needles used by the healers.
Gu Qingluan added, “If there aren’t enough golden needles, silver needles can also be used. They have slightly less effectiveness, but it’s better than nothing.” “Did you hear that? Immediately gather all the golden and silver needles in the city!”
“Don’t touch the golden needle in your chest for now, and try not to move too much. I’ll deal with it when I return,” Gu Qingluan said to the young man before walking over to another injured individual nearby..
