t it unfolded, Mrs. Fu's smile froze instantly.Above the "Shou" character in "Fu Shou Kang Ning" (blessing, longevity, well-being), a large, scarlet "Death" character was written. It stood out jarring...-----* Malin Head Castle.

Inside the arena.

Li Huiyi lay sprawled on the ground, covered in wounds and gasping for breath.

After a long battle with the beast, she was exhausted. Her long hair, tangled and messy, was soaked with blood and sweat, sticking to her cheeks and neck. Crimson blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth.

Those beautiful and captivating azure eyes were, however, surveying the various arched gateways with a piercing gaze.

For every beast she killed, a new one would randomly emerge from a passage, bringing with it another life-or-death struggle. This was Prince Charles' punishment for her.

He wanted her to fight constantly.

Fulfilled her life, a destiny to die in battle...

Across from them, a massive figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

That was a Bengal tiger with golden and black stripes all over its body. It was naturally fierce, and after being trained, it was extremely wild!

The moment it caught a whiff of blood, its blazing eyes flared with murderous rage. It surged forward towards Li Huiyi with unbridled ferocity!

Li Huiyi drew out the dagger stuck in the sand, gritting her teeth and struggling to stand. Her eyes were fixed on the Bengal tiger rapidly approaching!

Whirlwinds of sand rise in its wake, stirred by its sharp, powerful claws!

Formidable and intimidating!

Li Huiyi's hand, stained with blood, clutched the dagger tightly. Blood oozed from the broken palm and dripped incessantly. On the brink of life and death, she ignored the pain, focusing all her energy, ready to fight!

As the Bengal tiger pounced, she seized the moment, dodging its attack while raising her dagger and striking with all her might!

The Bengal tiger, pierced in the front leg, felt searing pain that ignited its ferocious savagery. With a roar, it opened its jaws wide, revealing sharp fangs, and lunged again at Li Huiyi.

After much strenuous dodging and fighting, Li Huiyi's entire reaction ability slowed down considerably. For a moment, she couldn't dodge or evade in time, and her chest was struck by a tiger claw. Her weak body uncontrollably fell to the ground.

She struggled to climb up, but her body was completely drained of energy.

The Bengal tiger was extremely large, and it pounced on her with a terrifying force. Its immense weight caused her to spit out blood. Before she could even recover, the Bengal tiger opened its bloody maw and lunged at her!

She had no more strength to escape…

Li Huiyi lay beneath the tiger's claws, her body covered in blood, awaiting death.

Just as the sharp fangs touched her collarbone, suddenly!

"Bang!"

A gunshot!

The Bengal tiger was shot, paused for a second, then continued to bite at Li Huiyi.

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out again!

Then came the second shot, the third shot, the fourth shot...

The continuous gunfire echoed and reverberated through the silent, vast Coliseum...

Li Huiyi heard the gunshot and turned her head with difficulty. She saw the tall figure rushing towards her, her eyes trembling fiercely!

How did he come!

This silly man!

Do you know what place this is! How dare he come here!

The bullets rained down, drawing the Bengal tiger's attention away. Enraged, it released Li Yiyi and turned its gaze towards its attackers. It bared its teeth and let out a low growl, its claws frantically digging into the sand, sending dust flying!

The next instant, it saw its powerful body flying past like a bolt of lightning!

Yun Tuo's eyes were bloodshot, he walked towards the charging beast, holding a gun in one hand and firing continuously. His resolute face was filled with killing intent!

The soldiers behind him also fired their guns, the Bengal tiger couldn't stand such intense firepower, it was bleeding all over and quickly retreated. The soldiers continued to suppress it with fire until it collapsed.

Yun Tuo had already run to Li Huiyi and knelt halfway before her.

The woman was covered in scratches and bite marks, with broken bones and torn flesh. Blood still oozed from the wounds, showing how many desperate battles she had endured before he arrived.

"Sorry... I'm late... I'm so sorry..."

Yun Tuo put away his gun, gently lifted the woman up, and carefully held her in his arms. He kept apologizing to her, feeling both heartbroken and remorseful.

He knew she was suffering this punishment because of him.

Yuntuo's eyes trembled, tears welling up in his eyes.

Even a man as tough as iron could not hold back his tears at this moment...

Li Huiyi originally wanted to drive Yun Tuo away, this place was too dangerous for him, but seeing his tearful and self-blaming appearance, she couldn't bear to push him away.

She leaned weakly against his chest, her blurry vision struggling to focus on him. "Fool," she whispered, "Don't say you're sorry. Say you love me. Love is the only cure for pain."

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you..."

A man who has always been bad at expressing his love with words, blurted out "I love you" dozens of times.

"I guess, it doesn't hurt that much anymore..."

Li Huiyi's blood-stained mouth curved into a slight smile. The pain in her body was unbearable. She whispered the words, then blacked out from pain.

Yuntuo hurriedly picked her up and ran out of the Colosseum, got into the car, "Go! Back to the base!"

The car sped out of the castle like an arrow released from a bow, as if racing the wind.

On top of the castle, Charles stood silently in the night wind, his deep and three-dimensional features hidden in the darkness.

Gazing at the vehicle disappearing into the night, a cold arc curved at the corner of his mouth, "Go on, exert your greatest value..."

-

On the way back, Yuntuo looked at the woman covered in wounds in his arms and suddenly remembered that there were only male doctors at their base. He immediately ordered his subordinates to call the person in charge and arrange for a female doctor.

When Yun Tuo arrived at the base, a female medical team hastily assembled from the hospital was already waiting for him.

He hugged Li Huiyi as soon as he got out of the car, and the doctor immediately took her away and rushed her into the operating room.

Besides the visible wounds, Li Huiyi also suffered from multiple fractures. Her internal organs were severely damaged with significant bleeding. The surgery lasted until the morning of the next day before it was finally completed.

Yun Tuo stood outside the operating room, never leaving his post. The moment Li Huiyi was wheeled out, he rushed forward to check on her.

The woman was still unconscious, her eyes tightly closed, her body wrapped in bandages. Her beautiful face was pale and devoid of color.

"Doctor, how is she"

Yuntuo looked at the female doctor urgently.

“The main issue is that she suffered severe internal bleeding, but thankfully it has stopped. She’s not in any immediate danger, but she has so many wounds on her body that there's a high probability of infection. We need to keep a close eye on her.”

The female doctor skipped over the dangerous moments during the surgery and briefly told Yun Tuo about Li Huayi's condition. She sent her to the ward, administered medicine, gave a few instructions, and then left.

Yun Tuo sat by the bed, quietly watching Li Huiyi, observing her condition.

As the doctor diagnosed, that night, Li Huiyi's wound became infected and she developed a high fever, serious enough to lead to septic shock.
