He frowned and stood up, wanting to carry Hu Jiaojiao to the bed to rest, but this movement pulled the wound, and his cold face wrinkled.
Hu Jiaojiao was a light sleeper and was quickly awakened by his movements.
"Long Mo, you're awake." Seeing Long Mo wake up, Hu Jiaojiao was delighted and quickly asked him to lie down. "Don't move around. Your injuries haven't healed yet. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable anywhere."
Although there's no point in telling her.
"I'm fine, Jiaojiao, that red spirit didn't hurt you yesterday, did it..." Long Mo looked at Hu Jiaojiao nervously.
He was in a coma yesterday. I don’t know how they came back, and whether his spirit hurt Jiaojiao after he was in a coma.
"I'm fine. I'm not hurt at all. The spirit has completely disappeared. You don't have to worry. What you need to do now is to heal your wounds." Hu Jiaojiao explained with a faint smile.
Despite what Hu Jiaojiao said, Long Mo still checked her again and again, and only relaxed after confirming that she had no injuries.
I'm glad Jiaojiao is okay.
"That spirit is..." How did it disappear
Long Mo opened his mouth, and seeing Hu Jiaojiao's slightly narrowed eyes, he seemed to be wanting to explore, so he hesitated to speak.
"Let's put the matter of spirit aside for now." Hu Jiaojiao didn't give him the chance to ask questions and pulled the wooden chair beside the bed back one meter.
Then he sat down upright, straightened his back, and looked at Long Mo seriously.
Long Mo frowned slightly, having a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next second, he heard Hu Jiaojiao's voice asking faintly:
"Long Mo, are you hiding something from me?"
Long Mo looked up at Hu Jiaojiao. Her clear and bright eyes seemed to be able to see through everyone's heart. At this moment, she was looking at him very calmly, as if she already knew everything.
His heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Jiaojiao already knew about it
She asked herself now if she was already very angry.
Without waiting for Long Mo to answer, Hu Jiaojiao continued:
"Long Mo, I don't want you to reveal everything about your past to me, but the thing you're hiding concerns your body and your life. I hope you can tell me."
"We are partners, and we should shoulder any problems together."
She doesn't think that couples can't have secrets. On the contrary, she believes that even partners should have their own privacy, so she has never asked this question.
But now, this problem endangers Long Mo's safety, which means it endangers their family.
This is not just Long Mo's problem.
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's words, Long Mo felt a little guilty.
He knew he shouldn't hide anything from Jiaojiao.
"I do have something to hide from you." Long Mo also forced himself to sit up straight, sitting upright on the edge of the bed, looking Hu Jiaojiao straight in the eye.
"You know, I'm a dragon orc who failed to transform."
Hu Jiaojiao nodded. Everyone knew this.
Orcs probably have a special way of identifying this.
"After a dragon orc fails to transform, it will have an irreversible weakness and its body's self-healing ability will be very poor."
Hu Jiaojiao nodded again. She also knew this.
Long Mo looked at Hu Jiaojiao's face, which showed no disdain at all, and let out a long sigh, then slowly said:
"Another point is that as you age, your ability to heal yourself will get worse and worse, until... you can no longer heal yourself."
That's still a euphemism.
Judging from what Hu Jiaojiao saw yesterday, it is not only impossible for the disease to heal itself, it is impossible for it to be cured, and it is even impossible to be fully recovered.
Even the witch doctor couldn't heal him.
Hearing this, Hu Jiaojiao frowned slightly.
Isn't this the same as a certain AIDS patient
Any minor injury would carry the risk of death, but in such a harsh living environment, how could one not get hurt at all
"So... what will happen in the end?" Hu Jiaojiao took a breath and asked with a serious look.
"If you are injured, you will not be able to recover and will die of illness." Long Mo replied.
This is the fate of orcs who fail to transform.
This is also why, although he was born with a weak body, he was still able to survive in the tribe, but after his transformation failed, he was directly expelled from the tribe.
Because what awaits him is only death.
Hu Jiaojiao's heart sank. These things were not mentioned in the book when she was reading it!
No wonder with Long Mo's strength, how could he be defeated by Ying Yuan? It turns out that in addition to his original body holding him back, there is also this important reason.
But even without his original body, he still couldn't survive
Can a person's destiny be changed? Will the ending in the book still be the same
Seeing that Hu Jiaojiao didn't speak, Long Mo thought she was angry, and explained in a low voice:
"I thought that with my ability, that day wouldn't come so soon. I could hold on until the cubs grow up, but I didn't expect..."
A bone-eroded spirit actually caused the aftereffects of his failed transformation to worsen prematurely.
"What about the cubs when they grow up?" Hu Jiaojiao frowned and looked at Long Mo steadily.
Does he mean that once the cub grows up, he can leave
Long Mo's solid defense was broken by a look from Hu Jiaojiao. He lowered his eyes and apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Jiaojiao, I shouldn't have hidden this from you."
"Tell me, what will happen when the cub grows up and your body can no longer heal itself?" Hu Jiaojiao just repeated the question calmly.
She knew that Long Mo would not answer, so she continued slowly:
"You're going to leave me and the cub, aren't you?"
Long Mo did not avoid Hu Jiaojiao's question and nodded calmly, "I wanted to wait until my cub could stand on his own, then return to the Dragon Tribe and look for a way to undergo a second transformation."
If you want to continue your transformation, you must return to the Dragon Tribe.
Going back means leaving Jiaojiao.
He didn't want Jiaojiao to experience hope and then be disappointed again, so he didn't plan to tell her about this.
He had calculated everything, even the possibility that he wouldn't be able to come back, and he had prepared for Hu Jiaojiao.
Hearing that there was still a way to continue the transformation, Hu Jiaojiao's eyes sparkled.
That means there is still hope!
"Can we find a way to transform a second time by returning to the Dragon Tribe? I'll go back with you!" she said with a firm look in her eyes.
"Yes, but the Dragon Tribe will not welcome me back." Long Mo's eyes darkened a little, and his low voice was a little cold.
When they threw him out like garbage, did they ever think that he would come back one day
"You are still injured. If you get injured again, you will..." Hu Jiaojiao was very worried.
"Don't worry, Jiaojiao, I'll be fine." Long Mo gently held Hu Jiaojiao's hand and placed it on his chest, "We'll talk about going to the Dragon Tribe later."
"Okay." Hu Jiaojiao nodded. She looked deeply at Long Mo and said firmly, "I am your partner. No matter what happens, I will stand by you."
Long Mo's eyes were gentle, "Yes, we are partners." So he would never let Jiaojiao be in any danger.
