Chapter 227
It seems that Huo Jun has noticed her too .
His eyes are bathed in an abnormal red glow . His looks like a predator who has seen his prey as his hands start to tear at the iron bars more fiercely .
Ah Zhao takes a few steps forward as she asks cotton candy: “What is happening to him?”
Cotton candy is confused as well . “I don't know . ”
Ah Zhao walks closer and stops where Huo Jun can't reach her by hand .
“Huo Jun . ” She calls .
However, he doesn’t seem to hear her anymore .
He just wants to get rid of the cage desperately when his open mouth lets out deep groans .
She notices one of his nails is broken and it is bleeding because of all the strength he exerts . There are bruises on his forehead, clearly from hitting the cage .
In the cage, there are a few broken ropes .
Huo Jun has probably tied himself but underestimated his destructive power .
“He is going to hurt himself . ” Ah Zhao says and she suddenly walks forward .
“Ah Zhao, what are you doing?” Cotton candy cries in surprise .
“I must stop him . ”
As she speaks, Huo Jun takes her arms .
His grips are strong which hurts Ah Zhao .
“Huo Jun . ” Ah Zhao walks next to the cage . They lean on each other with only iron bars in between .
“Don't you recognize me?”
Huo Jun pants heavily . His hot breaths blow her face .

His bloodshot eyes are fixed on her .
His hands dig into her flesh which causes her sharp pains .
Though she has always been susceptible to pains, she doesn’t cry this time . She simply looks into his eyes and calls him again and again .
The grips on her arms suddenly relax .
Then, she is pushed hard . She stumbles and falls .
“Go!” A gruff voice goes up .
When Ah Zhao looks up, she sees him crashing into the floor with his arms around his head .
“Huo Jun!” She calls loudly .
However, he just rolls on the floor with his arms around his head as if he is going through great pains .
Ah Zhao suddenly gets up .

She reaches for two iron bars as thick as grown man’s arms .
Her fair and slender hands pull the black iron bars apart slowly until the space between them can fit a person .
She lets out a sigh of relief and walks to him .
He suddenly widens his eyes and is about to grab her .
Quick of eye and deft of hand, Ah Zhao hits him on the neck .
“Pong!”
Huo Jun falls and passes out .
Then, with legs weak as jelly, she falls as well and sits beside him .
She only feels a bit dizzy since what she has done tonight is a big challenge to her weak health .

Before she has time to check on Huo Jun, her vision goes blank and she becomes unconscious too .
Ah Zhao wakes up in her own bed .
Lv Zhu, who has been waiting on her notices that she has woken up, lets out a sigh of relief and calls with smiles: “My Lady has woken up! Go tell the general!”
Ah Zhao moves a bit only to find her arms and back extremely hurt and her head dizzy .
Carefully, Lv Zhu helps her up and puts several pillows behind her .
Ah Zhao rests for a while and asks when she feels a bit better: “What happened to me?”
She just remembers following Huo Jun to that yard, seeing Huo Jun in a bad state and passing out .
Huo Jun!
“Where is the general?” Worried, she asks hurriedly .
Lv Zhu sees her expression and answers hastily: “The general is in the study . He has been by your side for a whole day and night and only left in the morning for an urgent matter . ”
