Eclipse of the Heart: The Alpha’s Forbidden Mate

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: The Pain of Transformation



"It is the seventh year of the Tianhe Continent."

The man's last sentence completely stunned Li Ge, and finally confirmed her earlier guess.

This was an era not recorded in Chinese history. It seemed the parallel universes mentioned in those miscellaneous books did exist, and she had actually been reborn. Li Ge didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment.

However, even if it was a strange era, it wasn't different from her. She was used to living in the forest. Now she would just treat it as a new home, Li Ge comforted herself.

"You…" Just as Li Ge wanted to ask more about this era, a chaotic sound of footsteps rang out.

Ling Mo raised his hand, stopping her words, and said in a low voice, "Find a place to hide."

Li Ge's hearing was always excellent. She also heard something unusual. Seeing the man's instruction, Li Ge didn't say a word, hugging Xiao Hei and hiding behind a large tree that could accommodate two people. Her level of skill would only be a drag if she stood on the battlefield.

Just as she hid, the man was surrounded by more than a dozen men in black. She watched the man, still looking calm and collected, not even giving a glance to the solemn men in black.

"Azure Wing King, prepare to die!" The leader of the men in black, knowing that this king, famous throughout the continent, was a man of few words, shouted first without waiting for the man to make a move.

The leader of the men in black swung his arms, and the more than a dozen people behind him simultaneously drew their weapons and rushed towards the man.

Their eyes were filled with murderous intent, a ruthlessness that meant to kill.

Li Ge watched the man who didn't make any movement, secretly anxious. Could it be that the poison from Xiao Hei's bite hadn't completely subsided? If each person took a sword, wouldn't he become a scarecrow?

Obviously, her worry was unnecessary. Just as the more than a dozen swords stabbed towards the man, he tapped his toes and instantly floated above the crowd. The man looked down at the people below with disdain, his gaze making those people feel inferior to ants.

Just as Li Ge was relieved that her status in the man's heart was higher than these people, the man drew a soft whip from his waist. The silver whip shimmered in the sunlight, and with a flick of the whip, screams erupted one after another.

"Ah…" The horrifying screams startled the surrounding insects and birds, scattering in all directions.

The more than a dozen men in black didn't survive a single move under the man's hand. He didn't directly kill them, but blinded their eyes.

Pa Another whip, another scream. Li Ge looked over and saw that the wrists of those men, where they held their swords, all had a bloody mark. Clang, clang, more than a dozen swords fell to the ground, and wails rose again.

Those people's tendons had been severed. Without eyes and hands, this was even more cruel than directly taking their lives for assassins.

Looking at the blood on everyone's faces, Li Ge felt the rabbit she had just eaten churning in her stomach. She hugged Xiao Hei tightly, trying to suppress the discomfort in her heart.

"You have offended this King and deserve to die. And you," Ling Mo pointed at the leader, the only one whose eyes hadn't been blinded, "go back and tell them that anyone who participates in harming this King should wait for this King to collect their heads a month from now."

Hearing the man's words, those people were silent for a moment. The leader knew he wasn't the Azure Wing King's match. After a moment of consideration, he ignored the blinded subordinates behind him and quickly ran away.

The remaining dozen people, of course, knew they had been abandoned. So, only one path remained. The dozen people, as if by agreement, had stiff faces that slowly fell to the ground.

Looking at the black blood flowing from the corners of those people's mouths, Li Ge was dumbfounded. Were these people like in TV dramas, with poison hidden in their teeth?

The surroundings were silent, and the smell of blood drifted with the breeze. Li Ge slowly moved out, she had never seen so many dead people before, and her steps were a little unsteady.

Ling Mo put away the silver whip without a trace of blood, not even looking at the more than a dozen corpses at his feet, and strode into the depths of the forest.

Li Ge felt that this place was truly eerie. She hugged Xiao Hei tightly and ran in the direction the man had left, even though the man's ruthlessness had frightened her for a moment, she knew he wouldn't kill her again.

The further she went, the more nervous Li Ge became. She hadn't been in the deep jungle before, but this one was clearly different from the modern forests. It was purely natural, untouched by any human modification. As she went deeper, Li Ge felt it harder and harder to breathe. She knew there should be miasma nearby.

"Wait… can we rest for a bit?" Li Ge looked at the remaining sunset falling on the leaves and bushes, and asked breathlessly.

The sun was about to set. If she entered the miasma area now, it would be difficult to get out. She and Xiao Hei were fine. She had been fed a lot of excellent detoxification medicine by her master since childhood. Now her physique wasn't immune to all poisons, but at least ordinary poisons and miasma couldn't harm her. As for Xiao Hei, she didn't need to worry at all. Xiao Hei was a poison and an excellent antidote. But the man in front was different. Looking at his wounds that hadn't scabbed over, these wounds were very prone to infection in the deep forest, and Li Ge was a little worried.

The man turned his head and looked at Li Ge deeply, then said with a meaningful tone, "I hope you won't regret your decision."

Li Ge didn't understand the man's words. She only thought that this would allow the man's body to recover faster, and she could also rest well.

Ling Mo closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, ignoring Li Ge looking around him.

Li Ge cautiously observed the man's face. Seeing that his breathing was even, she thought Ling Mo must have fallen asleep. She quietly raised her foot and walked outwards.

Although it was almost summer, the night was still a bit chilly, and the mist was thick. If she slept here for a night, she might get sick.

Hearing the faint footsteps getting farther and farther away, Ling Mo's eagle-like eyes suddenly opened. He knew the woman couldn't walk out of the forest on her own. Once night fell, wild beasts would emerge one after another. Since she was eager to die, he had no reason to stop her.

Ling Mo closed his eyes again, waiting for the next transformation to come.

After an unknown amount of time, just as he was about to fall asleep, a surprised voice sounded.

"Hey, don't sleep. I just found a cave. Let's go there to rest." Saying that, Li Ge had already walked to the man's side, and without any hesitation, she reached out to take his hand and go to the good place she had just discovered.

Bang A sound.

"Ah… it hurts, you…" As expected, Li Ge was slapped away several steps, landing on her butt. The wounds on her body that hadn't healed last night cracked open again. Li Ge glared at the man's expressionless face, speechless.

"Remember, don't approach me." Ling Mo said coldly, then closed his eyes again.
