Su Yan walked in and saw the boy was terribly weak.

He could only stand up by leaning against the nearby wall.

The sound of coughing never stopped.

As if sensing someone approaching, the boy lifted his head.

His eyes bore innocent confusion, as he spoke

"Who are you?"

He appeared so weak and vulnerable.

Su Yan looked at him, and Xiao Hua’s voice sounded in her mind

"Ding dong, congratulations Host on encountering Lord Hero."

Su Yan examined him carefully

"Can you walk?"

The boy lowered his head, his disheveled hair hiding his face.

His voice was hoarse, almost a whisper

"I can’t."

Saying this, he moved his hand slightly.

Only then was it noticed that a chain was tied around his wrist.

With his movement, the chain clattered noisily.

The chain was very thin, seeming to break easily with a snap.

But where it connected to his wrist, there was a black ’卍’ symbol.

The symbol was dark and hard to discern clearly in the night.

Su Yan stepped closer.

Looking at the chain there.

Then looking at his weak appearance.

Su Yan wondered

"Are you injured?"

The boy nodded weakly, the coughing grew louder

"I’m afraid I don’t have much time left."

His whispered voice was lonely and desolate.

She asked seriously

"What can you eat to survive?"

The boy hesitated.

Raised his head.

In his innocent eyes, a glimmer appeared.

His lips trembled

"Holy Sound Grass."

Xiao Hua’s voice echoed in Su Yan’s mind

"Ding dong, system alert, Holy Sound Grass is a rare Holy Medicine, extremely hard to find, worth a fortune.

Seeing Lord Hero’s condition, just one Holy Sound Grass is not enough."

With that, his cough grew even louder.

The chain on his wrist shook more violently with his coughing.

Its noise constantly reminded those nearby that he couldn’t leave.

Then, he spoke again

"If there is no Holy Sound Grass, there’s another way of healing."

He lowered his head, white clothes like snow, voice a quiet murmur

"Willingly feeding me with blood would work too."

After speaking, his lips trembled

"This method is too bloody and harmful, better not."

As his words fell, Su Yan had already cut her wrist and extended it.

She crouched down, very earnest

"Drink."

The boy lifted his eyes, looking innocently at Su Yan, lips quivering

"You’re so nice."

His murmured voice stirred endless sympathy.

The boy lowered his head and truly drank her blood.

And he drank quickly, without hesitation.

He took a few gulps.

Raised his head.

The blood on his lips seemed to have improved his complexion somewhat.

The boy smiled

"Thank you."

Su Yan said nothing, just lowered her head and took out two pieces of candy from her pocket, eating them.

Having drunk a few gulps of blood, she was unharmed.

Su Yan blinked

"Have you always been chained here?"

Mentioning this, the boy’s eyes dimmed.

His lips moved

"Yes, I’ve always been here."

"Do you want to leave?"

"Yes, but I need a key."

Saying this, the boy’s gaze fell on Su Yan’s purse.

The blue gemstone inside that purse was the key he’d waited a thousand years for.

The boy loosened his grip slightly from the wall.

He left five fingerprints on the wall.

His expression unchanged, he looked at Su Yan, his jet-black eyes innocent and pure

"Can you rescue me?"
