Chapter 129: Reuniting with Ruixing

A Second-Class Wizard Apprentice from Verdantia University lay on the hospital bed. Rough-looking vines covered her right side. Each vine had purplish-red roots and stems, while sharp thorns protruded from their surfaces. The thorns had pierced Ruixing's skin; if she moved even slightly, they would tear her flesh open and make her bleed profusely.

The three vines sprawled across the entire bed, leaving Ruixing lying there like a Sleeping Beauty princess, unable to move anything but her eyes.

The blood flowing from her wounds was also being absorbed by the three Magic Vines.
