Stabber of Hearts Chapter 4

This little beauty couldn't have been killed by his elbow, Lin Yang was shocked and quickly embraced Liam to check her breathing. Fortunately, her breathing was weak but even, and her life was not in danger for the moment. It was also thanks to her strong internal strength. If an ordinary person had gone through these two days of torment, she would have died long ago.

Lin Yang was about to withdraw her hand when her little finger accidentally brushed the corner of Liam's lips, and she couldn't help but pause. The touch from her fingertips was warm, wet and sticky. It was obvious that this man's injuries were not as serious as she made out.

"You... did what."

His fingers were gently grasped by a cold hand. As Lin Yang listened to Liam's hoarse and tired voice, a fire of anger suddenly rose in his heart. "What are you doing? You spit out blood so secretly. Are you afraid that I will find out and rescue you in time?"

Lin Yang refused to let go even though she was holding his fingers, and his eyes were staring at her in the darkness.

Under Lin Yang's gaze, his black and white eyes blinked twice, revealing a bit of innocence, "I didn't mean to hide it."

"Then what's going on? Are you mute?" Lin Yang stared at Liam with a half-smile and sneered. This guy actually learned to quibble.

Liam turned his head slightly, "Just now my chest hurt so much that I couldn't speak, so I could only pull your sleeve, but you ignored me."

Lin Yang was choked by these words and was speechless. She was lost in thought just now and didn't seem to notice Liam's actions.

"Then you won't..." Lin Yang wanted to say something else, but seeing Liam's pale face, he couldn't continue. He stared at her for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, "I was the one who hurt you first, just be patient for a moment, and I will heal you now."

Liam blinked his eyelashes gently, "It's okay, I know you were frightened just now, so it's inevitable that you are distracted."

Lin Yang: "......"

Lin Yang raised his eyes and glanced at her. Although the man's expression did not change, she felt that Liam was making fun of her. But she was in the wrong at this moment and could only swallow the loss for the time being.

Lin Yang held Liam against his shoulder with one hand and put his other hand on her vest. The hot and mellow internal force was slowly released from the palm of his hand and flowed along Liam's meridians.

About half a cup of tea later, the person leaning on Lin Yang's shoulder suddenly trembled all over, quickly pushed Lin Yang away, supported himself on the ground with his hands and began to suppress a slight cough. Lin Yang smelled a bloody smell gradually spreading in the air, and knew that Liam had coughed out the blood clots in his chest. She then withdrew her hand. This effort helped Liam sort out the veins in his chest, and she also felt a little tired.

"Thank you." Liam panted twice, and when he spoke again his voice was much clearer than before and no longer intermittent.

"Why are you saying thank you again?" Two hours had passed since entering the tomb. Lin Yang had been suffocating in the tomb for a long time. He had to be on guard against traps all the way here. He was a lot more serious. Seeing Liam's face getting better, the tension in his heart also relaxed a little. His words became frivolous again. He hooked his arm around Liam's shoulder while speaking, "You keep saying thank you all day, but why don't you want to stay with me?"

Liam raised his hand and grabbed Lin Yang's restless hand, ignoring her crazy words, and said calmly: "Just now you asked me what was outside the door. Now I can tell you, it's a person." After a pause, he added, "It's not completely a person."

Lin Yang's movements were slightly slowed, and a serious look appeared in his eyes. "What do you mean by that? If it's a human, then it's a human. If it's not a human, then it's not a human. It's not completely human. Could it be half human, half ghost?"

Liam shook his head gently, "It's a dead person."

"Are you saying that those people who just passed by the door are dead?" Lin Yangtaohua's eyes showed a trace of confusion, and it was difficult for her to understand the meaning of Liam's words. "How can the dead move and walk?"

"I don't know." Liam's eyelashes drooped slightly, his brows and eyes were solemn, "I saw it with my own eyes, that person is definitely dead."

"Have you seen what they look like? How did you see them..." Lin Yang was about to ask, but suddenly stopped midway, stretched out his hand to pull Liam's shoulders towards him, stared at her with a kind smile, "How could the little beauty leave our hut on her own, and let me find her so hard, could it be that you ran away on purpose to get rid of me? Tell me the truth, considering that this is your first mistake, I won't punish you."

Liam: "......"

Liam was silent for a while, then suddenly looked up at Lin Yang, and said calmly, "I didn't want to escape, I just saw those 'people' in the corridor first, and followed them all the way."

Lin Yang did not respond, her eyes fixed on Liam without blinking. Liam did not evade her gaze either, and looked at her frankly. The two of them stood facing each other in the dark for a long time like two stone statues. In the end, it was Lin Yang who looked away first, and her voice contained a hint of surrender, "Then, how did you come across those things?"

Liam then lowered his eyes, as if recalling, "It wasn't me who saw those things, they appeared in the hut."

"A thatched hut? How is that possible?" Lin Yang showed surprise on his face, and his voice tone couldn't help but rise a few notches.

"You should have left not long ago. I heard a sound in the distance while half asleep, but I didn't sense any breath of living things. I fell asleep again out of exhaustion." Liam said this with a slight smile on his lips. "I have been in Fengdu for less than five days, but I almost lost my life twice because of carelessness. It is really a disgrace to Master."

"You are injured, so it's inevitable that you can't respond with your full strength." Lin Yang responded casually, but as soon as the words came out of her mouth, even she was stunned. When did she become so considerate and know how to comfort others?

Liam did not notice Lin Yang's abnormality, and nodded to himself, "I actually lost consciousness for only a moment, otherwise I would not be able to sit here now. At that time, I just realized that there was more than one person in the room in the chaos, so I forced myself to open my eyes to see." When Liam said this, he frowned slightly, as if he was in the situation at that time, and exhaled slowly, "That 'person' was standing at the head of my bed."

"When I first saw him, I knew he was not alive." Liam's voice was gentle and soft, and his words were particularly fascinating. "The man's skin was gray, his veins were bulging, and his eye sockets were empty. It was obviously impossible for him to be alive. At that time, he stretched out his arms to feel around and would soon touch me. I saw that he had lost his eyes and must not rely on his five senses to find things, so I held my breath to see his reaction. After trying this, I saw that he went out after feeling around for a while. I thought this person should be related to the disappearance of disciples from various sects in the martial arts world, so I followed him all the way here."

After Liam finished recalling what happened, he raised his head and looked at Lin Yang, only to see that Lin Yang was looking at him with a sneer on his lips.

Liam's eyes paused, "What?"

Lin Yang said quietly, "The little beauty's stories are so fascinating. It would be a waste of talent if she didn't become a storyteller."

Liam looked calm, "I don't like crowds by nature, and I have no ambition to be a storyteller. Even if I retire in the future, I think I will make a living by painting and calligraphy."

Lin Yang couldn't tell whether this person was deliberately trying to piss her off or answering her seriously, her face darkened, "Since you're already injured, why do you want to take risks alone? Do you think those half-dead people will torment you less than I did?"

Lin Yang finished speaking with a straight face, and then she realized that her tone was very subtle. What did Liam's life or death have to do with her? Why should she bother with this? She quickly added, "You haven't repaid me yet. If you die like this, wouldn't my efforts be in vain?"

"So I left a mark at the entrance." There was light in Liam's eyes, and a smile slowly spread out. His eyebrows and eyes were soft and clear like the clouds and snow, which made Lin Yang lose his mind for a moment.

"You left that bloodstain intentionally," Lin Yang sneered, trying to cover up his distraction, "Are you so sure that I would come looking for you?"

"Yes." Liam's expression was indifferent, which made Lin Yang unsure of how to react for a moment.

"...Why?"

Liam raised his eyelashes slightly, and stared at Lin Yang with his deep eyes. "Because you want me, right?"
