The Sickly Emperor Is Only Immune to Me-Chapter 147 - Miracle
Chapter 147 -147 Miracle
Jiang Ke had bitten Lv Tianrui to death.
Lv Tianrui’s throat was torn open with a large hole, and thick, fishy blood gushed out, quickly filling the entire room.
Little green snake also smelled the blood but was so drunk that its triangular head, heavy as a mountain, simply couldn’t lift itself up.
It couldn’t save its master in time.
“You, you… Why…”
Lv Tianrui died with his eyes wide open.
Jiang Ke opened his mouth, watching him stare with wide eyes, as he stiffly fell to the ground.
His mouth and half his chest were covered in blood, and his right shoulder was also injured by Lv Tianrui, the blood pouring out, the pain intense.
But he smiled.
He had finally taken his revenge.
Yet he was also crying.
What of it, having taken his revenge?
What was lost could never be retrieved.
He staggered out of the room, and sure enough, there was no one outside.
He returned to the room, excessive blood loss making his head swell.
“Jiang Ke!”
Sang Yan exclaimed, rushing to support him, “What are you doing? Why are you always getting hurt?”
Jiang Ke didn’t have time to explain, just told her, “Quickly pack some commonly used items, especially medicines, we need to leave now.”
He had looked over the small boat.
It was already outside.
Gref wouldn’t kill them—at least, not him—right away. No, he would want him to carry the reputation of harming the pirate leader until he came to power, then he would settle the score with him.
This was his chance.
Sang Yan didn’t understand but obediently did as told.
She packed her belongings, a small parcel she tied securely around her, and left with him.
He changed clothes during her packing.
The two of them walked outside.
There was no one around.
Everything was as smooth as Gref had said.
He jumped onto the boat, helped Sang Yan aboard, then started rowing the small boat away.
The sea surface was calm.
As the sun rose, it shimmered with waves.
As Sang Yan helped row, she asked, “What did you do? What happened?”
Jiang Ke closed his eyes, Lv Tianrui’s stubborn face before his death flashing in his mind, yet his heart remained undisturbed as he calmly said, “I cooperated with Gref and killed Lv Tianrui.”
He told her the whole story.
Sang Yan: “…”
At this moment, when we’re almost home, you pull this stunt?
Is this what it means to seek Revenge at any cost?
She frowned, somewhat displeased, “Why do this… You said… he was coming for me. Now that we’re leaving here…”
Could it be that his promise to let her return to He Ying’s side was just a deception?
Jiang Ke saw what she was thinking and gave a bitter smile, “Ah Yan, isn’t it good that I personally take you back?”
Sang Yan: “…”
She looked at the direction in which the small boat sailed, the ocean vast and infinite, with no indication of whether they were headed towards Quanzhou.
But she could only trust him.
The boat traveled from sunrise to sunset.
Sang Yan prayed for calm seas all the way.
A small boat fears wind and waves the most.
And as is often the case, what one fears comes to pass.
As the moon rose, a fierce storm swept in, threatening to overturn the boat.
Sang Yan was very scared.
First for fear of falling into the sea, second for worrying about Jiang Ke’s condition.
Jiang Ke had a fever again.
His wound was still bleeding, and there was no time to tend to it.
“How are you doing? Jiang Ke, don’t fall asleep!”
She embraced his feverishly hot body, drawing strength, “I’m so scared.”
His face was flushed as he mumbled deliriously, “Don’t be afraid… My life has always been smooth sailing; whatever I want to do, I accomplish it. Look, even Lv Tianrui, when I wanted to kill him, I could; this time, too, we will surely be unscathed.”
But fate slapped him in the face.
The boat was capsized by the wind and waves.
“They ‘thump, thump’ all fell into the sea.”
The salty, fishy seawater surged into their throats.
His bleeding wound spread in the sea, likely to attract predators from the depths.

“Jiang, Jiang Ke—”
She felt they would die here.
She even hallucinated the sounds of predators.
“Um, um—”
She couldn’t swim and struggled in the ocean, swallowing lots of seawater.
Just when she thought she was going to drown, her body was suddenly lifted into the air.
It turned out Jiang Ke had lifted her high with his left arm, raising her out of the water.
Breathing became suddenly easy.
“Cough, cough, cough—”
Tears and snot ran down her face as she coughed, “Jiang Ke, you’re going to die. You’ll die like this. Stop worrying about me.”
But he wouldn’t listen, holding her up as the sea water submerged himself.
She began to struggle, writhing out of his iron-like grip: Keep calm, keep calm, the human body is seventy percent water, and the density of seawater is high, as long as she doesn’t panic and can float, she won’t drown…
With this mental suggestion, a miracle born of desperation, she really learned to float, to swim…
“Jiang Ke!”
She grabbed his hair and yanked him out of the water.
He was already unconscious.
She breathed air into him, slapped his face, “Jiang Ke! Wake up! Don’t sleep!”
Jiang Ke didn’t react at all, and his body temperature rapidly declined.
These were all dangerous signs.
Could it be they were really going to perish in the sea?
Clutching Jiang Ke, she swam desperately, the darkness above the sea obscuring her direction, the heavy rain made it even harder to see.
She could only swim numbly, guided by instinct.
She was cold, hungry, and exhausted, ready to give up countless times, yet each time she persisted.
Perhaps their lives were truly not meant to end, just as she exhausted herself into unconsciousness, unable to see the shore, a pair of dolphins lifted them up and delivered them to a coast.
In the modern world, she had heard about dolphins rescuing people.
So, miracles really did exist.
She was suddenly reassured and let exhaustion drag her into darkness.
When she woke again, daylight had already arrived.
She opened her eyes and immediately checked on Jiang Ke.
Jiang Ke was still feverish, his body scorching hot, lips cracked, alternating between feeling cold and hot, his body occasionally twitching spasmodically, it looked particularly dreadful.
“Jiang Ke, Jiang Ke—”
She called out twice, and when he didn’t respond, she stopped calling, got up, and searched the packs they had brought. Thankfully, they had taken the golden sore medicine and other items, though they couldn’t disinfect the wounds now; they could only apply the medicine first.
There was no clean cloth for bandages.
She tore her garment into strips and bound his wounds.
Such terrible treatment methods could only rely on his physical resilience to endure.
“Jiang Ke, don’t give up, hold on…”
She kissed his forehead and whispered words of encouragement.
After doing all she could, she didn’t sit idly by, but went to find clean water, as well as fire stones and dry grass that could be ignited.
This was something she had learned previously while following Jiang Ke in the mountains, and now it was proving useful.
She finally found a stream, picked a large leaf, folded it, filled it with water, and fed him.
She also spotted a coconut tree with two coconuts on it.
She shook it for a good while but couldn’t dislodge them, so she had to climb up and pick them.
Too high.
But she still managed to snatch them down.
The person also fell harshly to the ground with a “thud!”
Luckily, the ground was soft mud.
The pain was there, but when she got up, her arms and legs were uninjured, only her skin was scraped.
These minor injuries, she didn’t take to heart, with the coconuts in hand, she looked for a rock, cracked them open, and fed him.
His fever had not yet subsided.
“Cold, cold, Ah Yan, Ah Yan—”
He talked deliriously, like a vulnerable child, tears streaming down his face, “Ah Yan, don’t leave me, Ah Yan—”
Sang Yan felt an inexplicable urge to cry.
Holding back the tears, she wet another strip of cloth, repeatedly wiped his body and applied cold compresses, and then held him tightly, murmuring into his ear, “Jiang Ke, Jiang Ke, survive, you must survive…”
