The Female Lead is Looking at Me Differently (GL) - Chapter 44.2

But she never expected that one day, Fu Yu would faint due to unbearable injuries.

Thinking about it, her nose turned red.

But now was not the time to be sad.

After helping Fu Yu change into dry clothes, Wen Zhao took out an extra blanket and covered Fu Yu with it. Then, she was going to check on You Zixia and the others, and by the way, she could ask for some hot water.

Wen Zhao carefully closed the door and walked out cautiously, holding her whip.

However, as soon as she passed the room she shared with Fu Yu, she noticed something was wrong…

Wen Zhao slowed her pace, narrowed her eyes, and then sniffed.

This smell… was it the smell of bl00d? It was quite strong, where was it coming from?

Although she was puzzled, Wen Zhao didn’t dare to delay or act rashly to check. She tried to control her slightly trembling hands, which were caused by acting alone, and went to find You Zixia’s room, which was closest.

Just as Wen Zhao was about to arrive, You Zixia burst out of the room, followed by a lot of sand.

It seemed that You Zixia had also encountered the same situation as them.

Thinking of this, Wen Zhao’s heart sank. It seemed that this was not accidental, but someone was targeting them.

Wen Zhao greeted him, “Senior brother, how are you?”

You Zixia turned his head and coughed a few times, then he brushed off some of the thick dust on his body and looked over, “Junior sister? How is the situation on your side? Did you also encounter an attack?”

Wen Zhao nodded, “Yes, Fu Yu… she’s injured.”

You Zixia’s eyebrows jumped, “Fu Yu is injured? What happened?”

Wen Zhao said, “Let’s go find Zhan Fu and Lu Bicai first, and we can talk while we walk.”

Hearing what she said, You Zixia stood up, “Okay, let’s go.”

On the way, Wen Zhao briefly told You Zixia what had happened on their side.

You Zixia still had dirty dust on his face, and he frowned tightly, “The same thing happened to me. It seems that this danger comes from the same person. I just don’t know… if we accidentally got involved in some incident, or if that person is specifically targeting us.”

Wen Zhao was also thinking about this matter.

She recalled the original plot in her mind, but because it had been too long, and she hadn’t actually finished reading the original, she had no impression of anyone who could use such a method.

As they walked, Zhan Fu and Lu Bicai were also coming towards them. Seeing You Zixia and Wen Zhao, the tense expression on Zhan Fu’s face relaxed for a moment. She pulled Lu Bicai’s hand and walked over, “It seems I don’t need to repeat what happened.”

You Zixia nodded, “What’s going on this time?”

Zhan Fu didn’t hesitate, “It seems we’ve encountered some insane person, or we’ve been involved in some incident.” She looked to the side, “And… the strong smell of bl00d.”

Zhan Fu said this, then stopped and kicked open the door next to her; it was from here that the unmistakable smell of bl00d came.

In the light of the candle outside, the tragic sight of the occupant inside was revealed.

Bl00d had pooled into a stream, slowly flowing out.

Wen Zhao’s face turned pale from the shock.

This was the first time she had been so close to something like this. Even though she had read about it in books and seen similar things on TV, those… were completely different from reality.

Wen Zhao covered her mouth with one hand and frowned tightly, trying to suppress her physiological reaction.

It seemed that the bloody smell she had smelled earlier must have been something similar to this.

You Zixia’s expression changed as well, “This is?!”

Zhan Fu didn’t answer immediately, but asked Wen Zhao, “What about Fu Yu?”

Wen Zhao said, “…She’s fainted.”

Zhan Fu frowned, then said to You Zixia, “Let’s go check on Fu Yu first.”

You Zixia had no objections, “Okay.”

Everyone came to Wen Zhao’s room and saw Fu Yu’s current condition.

Zhan Fu glanced at her face, then asked Lu Bicai, “Can you take a look? Is there any way?”

Lu Bicai’s expression was calm, although she said, “I’m not my senior sister.” But she still walked over, grabbed Fu Yu’s wrist, and took her pulse.

Zhan Fu stood quietly for a moment, then said, “I’ll go check Fu Yu’s room, A Zhao, do you want to come with me?”

Wen Zhao glanced away from Fu Yu’s cheek, then nodded, “I’ll go too.”

After all, she couldn’t help much here, so she might as well go to the next room with Zhan Fu and see if she could find anything. And with the system, if there was really something, she could ask it to take a look.

You Zixia followed.

Some of the ice in Fu Yu’s room had gradually melted due to the destruction of the formation, although the entire room was still white, the cold air couldn’t dissipate for a while, so as soon as she entered Fu Yu’s room, Zhan Fu shivered.

“No wonder she fainted,” Zhan Fu said softly.

Wen Zhao began to search along the wall; what she couldn’t understand was, when were these formations buried?

Because looking all the way, Wen Zhao had only found traces of formations in the rooms where they lived, while the other rooms were normal, but the people living in those rooms had also been killed.

These signs indicated that the person behind this was targeting them.

But if the formation was buried before, how did the enemy know they would stay here?

And if the formation was buried later, how did he do it without being noticed?

Could it be that the enemy’s strength is several levels higher than ours?

Wen Zhao couldn’t figure it out, and she couldn’t figure out who could have done such a thing.

Could it be the person who killed the Fu family?

But that didn’t make sense either… Although the other party might have the strength, that person had no reason to do this.

After all, that person was expecting Fu Yu to find him, and he had no intention of obstructing Fu Yu’s path, so he wouldn’t have set a trap here.

But who else could it be?

Suddenly, Wen Zhao stopped stroking the wall. Because she had found some traces of talismans on this wall.

They were faint marks left from being drawn over and over.

Wen Zhao’s fingers brushed across the cold wall, and for some reason, her heart felt like it had been hit by a small hammer.

This wall… was the wall between her and Fu Yu.

Wen Zhao stared blankly at the traces of the talismans left behind, and after a moment, she softly asked You Zixia, “Senior brother, what kind of talisman is this?”

Wen Zhao was not familiar with talismans, and the original female supporting character only knew some basic talismans. Because although she came from the Lihuo Sect, she preferred whips and was not interested in talismans.

Therefore, even if she searched her memory, Wen Zhao couldn’t figure out which talisman it was.

Therefore, this… must be a more difficult talisman beyond the basic talismans.

Hearing Wen Zhao’s question, You Zixia walked over. At this time, he had not had time to clean up the traces on his body, so his face, neck, and clothes were still covered in sand, but no one disliked him at this moment.

You Zixia reached out and stroked the trace, then opened his eyes slightly, with a hint of surprise in his emotion.

“This… judging by the outline, it should be a restraining talisman. As for which specific branch, it’s hard to tell because the trace is too shallow.”

“Restraining…?”

“You can also think of it as a suppressing type.” You Zixia paused, then looked at Wen Zhao, hesitated for a moment before saying, “I think this should be a talisman drawn by Fu Yu. She should have discovered something was wrong earlier, so while dealing with the situation on her side, she was also helping you control the situation over here. Because she drew it over and over again, so… it left traces of the talisman.”

Hearing his words, Wen Zhao opened her eyes wide, and she looked up at You Zixia with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.

What… did he mean?

Wen Zhao’s lips moved slightly, and her pupils trembled slightly.

It meant that the reason why the situation on her side was so easy, and the reason why she could last so long, was all because Fu Yu was helping her control the situation over here.

Fu Yu was dealing with the bad environment on her side while also helping her.

That’s why she couldn’t hold on for much longer and fainted inside.

That’s why the freezing situation on Fu Yu’s side was much more severe than the scorching situation on her side.

That’s why she was almost completely frozen.

So, so…

Wen Zhao’s eyelashes trembled, and a crystal tear welled up in her eyes.

She reached out and grabbed the collar of her shirt tightly, feeling a pain that made her almost unable to straighten her back.

“Junior sister?!” You Zixia immediately grabbed her arm and asked worriedly.

Wen Zhao slowly squatted down, her hands clenched tightly around her clothes, her fingers trembling.

Warm tears flowed down her eyes, covering her face. Wen Zhao looked at the scene blurred by tears, her heart aching. In a daze, she even saw Fu Yu, exhausted and counterattacked after helping her, frozen into a coma.

Wen Zhao bit her lip tightly, preventing herself from making any sound.

The sting from biting her lip seemed to make her feel a little better, a little less guilty.

Why… why did she help her so much?

Wen Zhao had never felt so painful.

At this moment, she even wished that Fu Yu didn’t really like her. Even if she was as indifferent as before, it would be better.

Because she… really didn’t deserve it.

Wen Zhao closed her eyes tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks and gathering at the tip of her chin.

Zhan Fu squatted down and gently patted Wen Zhao on the back, “A Zhao… don’t be sad, no one could have predicted that something like this would happen, after all, Fu Yu…” Zhan Fu gritted her teeth and sighed softly, “The most important thing now is to see if we can save Fu Yu, and even if Lu Bicai can’t save her, isn’t there Xie Ting? We’re about to get to Xie Ting, so don’t worry.”

Hearing the name Xie Ting, Wen Zhao suddenly came to her senses.

She wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and pinched the palm of her hand tightly to calm herself down.

Opening her eyes again, she had suppressed all her uneasy emotions  in her heart.

“You’re right, now is not the time to cry.” She had been useless enough, and she couldn’t hold back anymore. In this situation, she couldn’t let others have to distract themselves to comfort her.

Wen Zhao stopped crying and suppressed all her emotions in her eyes, her eyes slightly red. Then she stood up, “Since we haven’t found any clues here, I’ll go back and see Fu Yu.”

Coming to the next room, Lu Bicai had already finished examining Fu Yu’s condition.

Wen Zhao asked, “How is Fu Yu?”

Lu Bicai glanced at her, “It’s both good and bad. She’s been poisoned by the icy poison, but there is an antidote, and my senior sister can do it. But there is one thing that is more troublesome about the icy poison, that is, the poison must be detoxified immediately after it breaks out, otherwise, within an hour, the poisoned person will be frozen to death.”

Wen Zhao said in a deep voice, “When will the poison break out?”

Lu Bicai said slowly, “In an hour.”

Wen Zhao’s pupils constricted slightly.

“An hour,” she thought, ‘We won’t even be able to make it to Lotus Platform in that time.’

Her gaze instinctively went to Fu Yu, and seeing her pale face, her heart started to panic. But quickly, she suppressed her emotions.

Wen Zhao bit her tongue, “Is there any way? Like, to temporarily delay it?”

Lu Bicai replied, “There is, but there are side effects.”

Wen Zhao asked, “Can the side effects be treated?”

Lu Bicai thought for a moment, “Yes, but someone will have to sacrifice.”

Wen Zhao didn’t hesitate, “Okay, use it on her. Whatever the sacrifice is, I’ll do it.”

T/N: Your safety is more important than her life! Don’t you know that?! QAQ
