Chapter 40: 40 Qu Ying Struck by a Boomerang (2nd Update)
They now dare not seek a new hospital bed, the leading doctor simply glanced at the nurse beside him.
"Go push the wheelchair over here."
Yun Ran had just moved slightly, and the wounds on her body that had started to stop bleeding began to tear open and bleed again.
It had to be her; if it were someone else encountering such a Life and Death Tribulation, there would be no escape.
Ginsengfruit also felt that the Heavenly Dao in this bookish world was a bit too much, but unfortunately, its energy was insufficient, otherwise, it would have definitely taught this fellow a lesson.
[Host, if you cannot use a Magic Artifact, can you draw a few talismans to withstand this for a bit?]
"No, if I do nothing and endure this as an ordinary person, the power of this Life and Death Tribulation would be manageable.
Once I fight back, Heavenly Dao will get more intense, and the power of the Life and Death Tribulation will significantly increase. By then, it will be more troublesome, and might even draw out some ancient beings in retreat."
Ginsengfruit immediately understood that although Heavenly Dao’s Life and Death Tribulation would injure the Host, with the Host’s capability, dodging it wouldn’t be a big issue.
However, if others discovered that the Host possessed capabilities to contend with Heavenly Dao, attracting attention from certain individuals, the Host’s troubles would become even greater.
"However, drawing a few Vajra Talismans for others to use is still possible."
Yun Ran directly used the blood from her own body to draw talismans in the air, and after the talisman formation, she didn’t use them on herself but cast them around her.
The Vajra Talisman created a barrier between her and others, so that no matter how absurd the upcoming Life and Death Tribulation was, it wouldn’t affect those close to her.
Though it didn’t directly affect her, the residual power of the Vajra Talisman still provided her some protection.
Such a blatant cheating move, even the Heavenly Dao couldn’t find an excuse to penalize her more severely.
When the talismans were formed, the people around clearly felt a sense of relief, although they didn’t know why.
But when they looked at Yun Ran again, the fear in their hearts had dissipated, leaving only sympathy for Yun Ran.
"Your wound is still bleeding, let me help you bandage it first."
Yun Ran’s exposed skin appeared horrendously stained with blood, but after properly cleaning the wound, it wasn’t as scary.
"Just rest up and we will see after some observation."
Watching the discarded gauze soaked with her blood being taken away, Yun Ran swiftly cast a Magic Spell at it, and when the nurse dumped them in the waste bin, they suddenly turned to ashes.
Yun Family was wealthy and influential, and soon Yun Ran was transferred to a private luxury ward; with the residual effects of the Vajra Talisman, she could rest peacefully for the moment.
Though she couldn’t directly confront Heavenly Dao, it didn’t mean she couldn’t take precautions.
Little Paperman was released by Yun Ran: "Go keep watch outside."

Yun Shaotang was originally handling business affairs at his company, but upon hearing everything that transpired at home, his expression immediately turned grim.
If it were before, he might have immediately blamed everything on Yun Ran.
But now, knowing that Yun Ran had considerable skills and also some backing, his eyes weren’t blind anymore, and he knew to get to the bottom of the matters.
The servants at home, quite astute, were very good at guessing the thoughts of the family head.
If the master had still favored his wife like in the past, they would have unanimously said it was the third young miss who had been reckless, causing the lady of the house to miscarry.
But now, when the master asked what exactly had happened, they immediately understood what he meant, and they told the truth openly, even preparing the surveillance footage.
Yun Shaotang saw in the video Qu Ying’s pale face, a trace of pity flashed through his eyes, but upon hearing Qu Ying asking Yun Ran for money, while Yun Ran seriously lied.
A flicker of displeasure appeared in his eyes, he always believed he had never mistreated Qu Ying, the jewelry, real estates he had provided her were never given sparingly.
Yet Qu Ying was still eyeing the money in Yun Ran’s hands, which unsettled Yun Shaotang.
However, this discomfort vanished when he saw Qu Ying getting frightened by the crystal chandelier crashing down and falling, turning into anxiety and concern.
He didn’t lack for children, but if the child in Qu Ying’s womb was something he had eagerly hoped for, even considering leaving his overseas assets entirely to this child.
Now seeing this scene, he knew, the child he had been looking forward to was gone, despite being adept at manipulating people, he still couldn’t hold back a tear.
After delegating all the affairs to Yun Jinyang, he rushed to the hospital and stayed by Qu Ying, who had just been moved to a ward.
It was dark when Qu Ying finally opened her eyes, looking at her husband holding her hand, she was momentarily stunned as memories flooded back.
Tears immediately streamed down, appearing truly heartbroken yet beautiful.
"Hubby, our child is gone..."
Listening to Qu Ying’s voice of despair, Yun Shaotang immediately felt heartbroken, gently touching her face: "It’s alright, we can still have children in the future. Right now, your health is the most important, don’t cry."
Qu Ying was genuinely sad; it took her a while to say, "What about Ranran?"
Yun Shaotang then remembered he hadn’t visited Yun Ran yet.
At that time, watching the surveillance footage, the chandelier had directly aimed for Yun Ran; had Yun Ran not been clever, she would have surely been killed.
Through the surveillance, he also saw the chandelier hesitate mid-air; that moment allowed Yun Ran to evade, and he became even more convinced of Yun Ran’s capabilities.
Yet, due to years of neglect, it had become a conditioned reflex.
Making him completely forget to visit Yun Ran and maintain a surface-level harmony.
"Don’t worry, the child wasn’t seriously hurt, just shocked. She is just downstairs in the ward, I’ll go check on her in a moment."
Qu Ying opened her mouth, suddenly experiencing the suffocating feeling of being stabbed in the heart by a boomerang.
She meant to advance by retreating, she was this miserable, yet still caring about the daughter who harmed her child, showing how kindhearted she was.
Similar incidents had happened before, she only needed to act kind and generous, and the Yun Family would grow even more disgusted with Yun Ran.
But now, Yun Shaotang didn’t follow the old routines and even said he would go check on Yun Ran, making Qu Ying feel a sudden panic.
A sensation of utter loss of control swept through her body. Over the years, she had maintained her footing in the Yun Family and became a well-regarded affluent lady in Hai City by stepping on Yun Ran.
If she lost Yun Ran, a handy tool, what would she do in the future?
