Insanely Pampered Wife: Divine Doctor Fifth Young Miss Chapter 2319 (END) - Side Story - Wu Xiao Dao Edition (9) The End

Wu Xiao Dao lifted her gaze, fixing it on Fu Ming Shao’s firm jawline, lips pressed tightly together, and unwavering eyes. Witnessing how he took slash after slash just to shield her, the depth in her eyes intensified more and more.

“Pfft—”

Another cut landed on his back, making him stumble ahead, yet he refused to release her.

“Fu Ming Shao, release me! These attackers only want to use me to limit your moves!” Wu Xiao Dao shouted desperately.

“I’ll never release your hand for the rest of my life.” Fu Ming Shao gazed at Wu Xiao Dao, his eyes now openly revealing his deep feelings. This sight stirred her heart. A captivating smile bloomed on her face, one that would forever etch itself in his memory.

As she struggled to rise, her smile vanished while she cried out in alarm: “Watch out, behind you! Move aside!”

Fu Ming Shao sensed the deadly threat from behind, but he chose not to dodge, for that would leave her vulnerable.

“Swish—”

A long arrow flew through the air, embedding into his back and straight through to his heart.

.

Time froze in that instant, as Wu Xiao Dao stared blankly at the arrow protruding from his chest, her thoughts emptying out completely.

Blood trickled from the edge of his mouth, his form went limp, and he dropped to one knee.

…

Seeing him struck by the arrow and rendered unable to fight, the enemies circled closer but held back from advancing right away.

“Fu Ming Shao!” Wu Xiao Dao collapsed to her knees alongside him, beholding his ashen face. For the first time ever, aside from her Mother, tears streamed down for another person. “Why act so foolishly? Didn’t I warn you to dodge?”

Fu Ming Shao gripped her hand and managed a faint smile: “If I dodged, you’d get injured.”

“Foolish, utterly foolish, you absolute idiot!” Wu Xiao Dao cupped his face in her hands. “No one in the world is stupider than you!”

“I’m content even in the face of adversity.” Fu Ming Shao smiled at her, though the spark in his eyes was fading.

“You won’t die on me.” Wu Xiao Dao produced an elixir, slipped it into his mouth, then leaned in to press her lips to his. “I’ve saved your life now—you belong to me. Remember to repay me with your body.”

Under the pill’s power, Fu Ming Shao’s fading awareness began to sharpen. Her words made him long to agree, but no words came out.

Noticing Fu Ming Shao improving slightly, the foes advanced to finish them off, only to be repelled by a sudden force.

Air currents swirled around Wu Xiao Dao, her long hair and dress fluttering wildly without a breeze. The aura radiating from her hurled those attackers away.

She broke off the protruding arrow, extracted the rest from his back, and sealed the wound with her spirit power. That power flowed into his body through the injury, mending the damage.

Thankfully, Fu Ming Shao’s sacrifice had jolted her enough to unexpectedly awaken her inner spirit power.

“Arcane, eliminate these people for me—leave not a single one alive!” Propping Fu Ming Shao up to his feet, she commanded. Instantly, a mighty dragon materialized in the sky, and with one breath, it wiped out everyone nearby.

To aid Arcane’s rampage, she cradled Fu Ming Shao and soared upward, landing steadily on the dragon’s head. From there, she observed as it eradicated all foes in the woods, sparing only Fu Ming Shao’s companions.

Those survivors were already wounded, and this spectacle terrified them completely.

Mu Si and his rescue team froze in shock at the dragon’s abrupt emergence.

Dragons truly exist in this world!

“That’s the Prince and Young Miss Wu atop the dragon’s head!” a voice cried out in disbelief.

Spotting Wu Xiao Dao, Mu Si noted her overwhelming presence. With a mere gesture, the small woods became a wasteland. Suddenly, it merged in his mind with the vision of a woman atop a massive fiery bird.

.

He shook his head with a smile. Only when Arcane approached with Wu Xiao Dao did he clearly see Fu Ming Shao’s grave injuries.

“I need to bring him back for healing. Handle returning the others.” With that, she aimed to head to the Prince Manor.

“Returning like this will cause chaos.” Mu Si eyed the dragon under her. A true dragon’s appearance could unleash havoc in the royal court.

Wu Xiao Dao snapped back to reality, recalled Arcane, opened a spatial passageway, and carried Fu Ming Shao inside.

Mu Si’s men witnessed this for the first time, stunned speechless: “General, General, Young Miss Wu, she…”

“Not a word about today’s events.” Mu Si ordered with a frown.

“Yes, General.”

“Check the woods and escort the Prince Manor’s wounded back.”

“Yes.”

Soon, the injured received treatment upon return, corpses were transported back, and enemy bodies were buried right there in pits.

“General, it’s the Second Prince.” A guard uncovered his corpse beneath a fallen trunk. His eyes bulged wide, frozen in terror.

“Return his body to the Emperor.”

A Prince had perished so suddenly—he had to inform the Emperor. Yet the Emperor wouldn’t dare probe the death’s cause.

Though Wu Xiao Dao’s identity stayed hidden, the Emperor knew it. The Second Prince’s audacity in taking her hostage was lucky she didn’t demand royal accountability.

The Emperor panicked upon seeing his son’s corpse, but after Mu Si’s account—revealing Wu Xiao Dao as the killer—he regretted ever fathering him.

How could he provoke an immortal like Wu Xiao Dao?

Recalling her furious demeanor, he rushed to the Prince Manor with attendants to personally apologize to Wu Xiao Dao.

Meeting the Emperor, Wu Xiao Dao showed no rage, instead leading him to Fu Ming Shao. The sight of his son near death on the bed filled the Emperor with anguish.

“I wish to take him away.” Wu Xiao Dao stated to the Emperor.

“Take him where?” the aged Emperor inquired.

“To my world. His heart is damaged. I can only prolong his life here, not fully cure him. I must return to my mother—only she can save him.” Wu Xiao Dao explained.

“When do you depart?”

“I planned to send word today and leave tomorrow. Since you’re here, we’ll go today.” Wu Xiao Dao replied. “I’m not sure when we’ll meet again. I’ll wake him briefly for you two to speak, but keep it short.”

Using needles, she cleared key acupoints, rousing him faintly. Then she withdrew, granting father and son privacy.

Soon after, the Emperor emerged, and Wu Xiao Dao reentered. Seeing the man on the bed smiling at her, she shot him a resentful glare, still upset over his earlier recklessness.

Fu Ming Shao reached out, clasped her hand, and murmured weakly: “Father explained everything. I’m going with you, and you must take responsibility from now on. Since you saved me, I’ll devote myself to you…”

Hmm, those words rang familiar. Hadn’t he been unconscious back then?

“I want to try it once more.”

“Try what again? Rest properly now.”

Fu Ming Shao stared intently at her, as if refusing would mean no rest for him.

Softening at his plea, Wu Xiao Dao bent down, brushing her tender lips against his. Both their mouths curved into slight smiles.

“You’re mine from this day forward.”

“Yeah…”
