Chapter 8 The Madman's Foster Mother
With slightly unsteady steps, she rushed into the ruins, frantically searching and shouting.
"Ye Qingmei! Come out here! Come out here right now!"
Her voice, shrill and desperate, echoed in the deathly silent night sky.
However, all that answered her was the cold night wind and the crackling embers of the burning flames.
Suddenly, Li Yunrui's gaze was drawn to a faint red glow in the corner.
It was a tiny, blood-stained baby, curled up among the cold rubble, its breath so faint it was almost imperceptible.
Li Yunrui's breath hitched.
She recognized the direction; it was the location of the delivery room.
Could this baby be...?
She carefully walked forward, squatted down, and with trembling hands reached out to gently brush away the dust from the baby's face.
When she saw the youthful face that resembled Ye Qingmei in some ways, yet also exuded a strange and heroic air, her pupils suddenly contracted!
It's him!
It's Ye Qingmei's child!
And he's still alive!
Although he was barely breathing, the faint rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still stubbornly clinging to life!
A complex and indescribable emotion welled up in Li Yunrui's heart in an instant.
There was shock, ecstasy, pity, and a touch of inexplicable excitement.
Ye Qingmei, though she may no longer be here.
But she left behind her bloodline!
This is the continuation of her life!
It is the most direct proof that she once existed in this world!
Li Yunrui looked at Ye Tian's pale face, his tightly closed eyes, and the glaring bloodstain at the corner of his mouth.
Her heart ached for no reason.
What terrifying ordeal did this child endure to survive such a brutal battle and fire?
"You cannot die."
Li Yunrui subconsciously reached out and gently grasped Ye Tian's cold little hand.
That faint, almost imperceptible pulse suddenly softened a corner of her heart.
···········
Looking at Ye Tian's faint life force, which seemed to be extinguished at any moment, Li Yunrui felt a surge of inexplicable anxiety and panic.
She couldn't bear to watch this child, Ye Qingmei's only bloodline, die right in front of her!
"Breathe, yes, breathe!"
Suddenly, fragmented memories of first aid techniques that Li Yunrui had once heard from Ye Qingmei flashed through his mind.
Although she scoffed at it at the time, thinking it was nothing more than some strange tricks.
But at this moment, it became her only hope!
Without further hesitation, she bent down and carefully cleaned the filth from Ye Tian's mouth and nose. Then, she took a deep breath and gently passed the liquid over to his small lips.
Once, twice,
Her movements were awkward and clumsy.
But her eyes were filled with an unprecedented focus and devotion.
It was as if what she held in her hands at that moment was not an ordinary baby, but the most precious treasure in the world.
Just as Li Yunrui was clumsily performing artificial respiration.
Deep within Ye Tian's consciousness, that cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang out once more!
[Ding! Detected that the host has had deep contact with the important plot character "Li Yunrui"!]
[Trigger a special event check-in!]
[Sign in now?]
"Check-in!"
Ye Tian almost instinctively shouted in his heart.
He knew this might be his last chance to turn things around!
[Ding! Special event check-in successful!]
[Congratulations, host! You have received the reward: Nine-Turn Life-Extending Pill (Immortal Grade Pill)!]
Nine-Turn Life-Extending Pill!
Immortal-grade elixirs!
A vast and pure life energy surged forth from nothingness and directly merged into Ye Tian's damaged body!
That life force, which had been almost dried up, began to grow wildly at a visible speed, like rain after a long drought!
The damaged meridians are being repaired rapidly!
The failing organs are bursting with vitality!
Even his soul, which had been depleted from forcibly activating the Fire Spirit Pearl, received tremendous nourishment!
"use!"
Ye Tian silently recited it in his heart without hesitation.
The elixir melted upon entering the mouth, transforming into a warm current that instantly flowed throughout the body.
The cold and weakness of being on the verge of death receded quickly like a tide.
Instead, it brings an unprecedented sense of comfort and power!
His body has not only recovered to its peak condition, but is even stronger than before!
"Cough, cough!"
Ye Tian suddenly opened his eyes, coughed violently a few times, and spat out several mouthfuls of blood-tinged stagnant blood.
He came back to life!
Moreover, he's in incredibly good shape!
"You, you're awake?!"
When Li Yunrui saw Ye Tian suddenly open his eyes and cough violently, he was first stunned, and then his face broke into an unbelievable joy!
Her beautiful phoenix eyes glistened with tears of excitement.
她成功了！
She actually pulled the child back from the brink of death!
The immense sense of accomplishment and satisfaction she felt from personally saving a life, especially the life of Ye Qingmei's child, filled her with an indescribable tremor.
Ye Tian turned his head and looked at the face in front of him, so close that it was breathtakingly beautiful, yet it also carried a hint of morbid fanaticism.
He knew that it was this woman who had saved him at the crucial moment.
Although her motives may not be pure.
But the debt of gratitude for saving my life is real.
"How are you feeling?"
Li Yunrui asked cautiously, her voice carrying a hint of tenderness that she herself was unaware of.
Ye Tian blinked but didn't say anything.
He is just a newborn baby now, and he can't speak yet.
But his big, dark eyes were clear and bright, as if they could see into people's hearts.
Especially her handsome face, which resembled Ye Qingmei but also possessed a unique heroic spirit, appeared exceptionally lively and adorable in the firelight.
Li Yunrui looked at Ye Tian, her eyes gradually becoming infatuated.
picture!
so similar!
She's practically a carbon copy of Ye Qingmei!
Especially those eyes, that spark of intelligence, they're practically identical!
At this moment, Li Yunrui's long-suppressed, almost twisted love and admiration for Ye Qingmei seemed to find a new outlet.
She looked at Ye Tian as if he were a priceless treasure that had been lost and found again.
A bold and crazy idea suddenly came to her mind.
Ye Qingmei is gone.
But her child is still alive!
This child is so handsome, so extraordinary!
He inherited all of Ye Qingmei's good qualities!
If, if she could take this child as her own,
Raise him to adulthood and make him your own.
Does that mean I also possess Ye Qingmei?
Once this thought arose, it spread like wildfire, instantly occupying Li Yunrui's entire mind.
Her gaze towards Ye Tian grew increasingly intense, filled with possessiveness.
"From this day forward, you will be my child."
Li Yunrui reached out and gently stroked Ye Tian's soft cheek, her voice soft yet firm, carrying an undeniable stubbornness.
I will give you the best of everything in this world.
"I will make you shine even brighter than your mother!"
After experiencing the despair of losing Ye Qingmei, this crazy beauty found a new spiritual anchor in Ye Tian.
She decided to raise Ye Tian as her own son!
She wanted to pour all her love and obsession for Ye Qingmei into this child!
Ye Tian felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the undisguised possessiveness and fanaticism in Li Yunrui's eyes.
He knew he had just escaped one wolf's den only to fall into another.
However, compared to his enemies who wanted him dead, Li Yunrui would at least not harm him for the time being.
Moreover, as the eldest princess, she might be able to provide him with a relatively safe environment to grow up in.
"Okay, criticizing a crazy, beautiful foster mother, that sounds kind of exciting, doesn't it?"
Ye Tian silently complained to himself, then blinked his innocent big eyes and gave what he thought was a very cute smile.
Regardless, survive first, then plan for the future!
·············
Li Yunrui carefully lifted Ye Tian from the cold rubble and wrapped him tightly in her own luxurious fox fur coat.
The movements were so gentle, as if they were afraid of breaking a rare treasure.
She glanced at the surrounding ruins, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. Finally, holding Ye Tian, she left this place filled with death and despair without looking back.
Back at the Princess's residence.
Li Yunrui immediately dismissed all the servants and personally prepared hot water for Ye Tian.
They started by cleaning the dirt and blood off his body.
Although her movements were still somewhat awkward, they were filled with unprecedented patience and meticulousness.
It was as if they were treating a sacred work of art.
After washing, Li Yunrui found her most treasured softest silk and made a small swaddle for Ye Tian.
Looking at Ye Tian's exquisitely handsome face, Li Yunrui felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and joy.
"So cute!"
She couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Ye Tian's pert little nose with her finger, her eyes full of doting affection.
Ye Tian blinked and cooperated by showing an innocent expression.
He secretly wondered to himself, "Could this crazy beauty really be treating me like her own son?"
