SBCEJM -Chapter 223 Possessed by an Oscar-Winning Actress! To Save My Husband, I Took Two Blades for Him—The War God Broke Down Crying!

Xiao Zhanfeng opened his eyes to the sight of an exquisite face.

Bright almond-shaped eyes, peach-blossom cheeks, skin as smooth as jade.

It was the Sang Sang he had longed for day and night.

He wanted to speak, but his throat was so dry that no sound came out.

Feng Zexuan forced out a stiff smile.

“Husband… you’re finally awake.”

Her voice sounded terribly unnatural.

But Xiao Zhanfeng’s eyes immediately lit up as he stared at her.

【Sang Sang is smiling!】

【She looks so beautiful when she smiles! Her eyelashes are so long…】

【She must be so happy that she doesn’t even know what to do.】

Feng Zexuan: 【…】

【This guy’s imagination is way too powerful! His love filter is thicker than a city wall!】

Unable to endure Xiao Zhanfeng’s burning gaze any longer, she quickly handed control of the body back to Shen Sangsang.

“So gross~ Hurry and take over. I can’t handle this alone!”

The moment Shen Sangsang regained control, she instantly entered full actress mode.

With a loud sob, she threw herself into Xiao Zhanfeng’s arms, tears flowing on command.

“Husband! You’re finally awake!”

“I thought… I thought you’d never wake up again… wuuu…”

She cried so pitifully that Xiao Zhanfeng’s heart physically ached.

“Sang Sang, don’t cry. Aren’t I awake now?”

He raised a hand, wanting to wipe away her tears, but his arm was limp and weak. He couldn’t even lift it properly.

【Damn it, my body still hasn’t recovered… I can’t even hug her!】

Shen Sangsang took his hand herself and pressed it gently against her cheek.

“Husband, don’t move around yet.”

“You were unconscious for so long. Your body is still very weak and needs proper care.”

“I’ll go prepare your medicine right away.”

Xiao Zhanfeng looked at the tear stains at the corners of her eyes, deeply touched.

【Sang Sang treats me so well…】

【What did I ever do to deserve such a wonderful wife…】

His affection meter shot up to 96%.

Shen Sangsang rejoiced inwardly.

【Yay! Another 1%!】

“That point was probably added because of your face,” Feng Zexuan commented faintly.

Shen Sangsang: 【……】

Xiao Zhanfeng glanced around and only then realized the official road was completely empty except for the two of them.

“Sang Sang, where’s everyone else?”

Shen Sangsang blinked innocently, her face full of guilt.

“I guess I pushed your wheelchair too slowly and got separated from them. It’s all my fault.”

Hearing that, Xiao Zhanfeng’s eyes filled with heartache and guilt.

【It’s all because of me…】

【If I hadn’t fallen unconscious, Sang Sang wouldn’t have suffered so much…】

Grinding his teeth, he struggled to stand.

“Sang Sang, let me walk on my own. You’ve worked hard enough already.”

Shen Sangsang hurriedly pressed him back down, a trace of reproach in her tone.

“No! Husband, you’re this weak right now—how can you walk?”

“Don’t force yourself. I’m not tired at all.”

As she spoke, she pulled out a pastry from her space and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Here, eat something first.”

Xiao Zhanfeng chewed the soft, sweet pastry while watching her bustle around for his sake. His eyes turned red.

【Sang Sang…】

At that moment, unsteady footsteps sounded from not far away.

Shen Ruoyun and the Seventh Prince appeared, supporting each other as they walked over.

Both of them looked absolutely terrible.

When the Seventh Prince saw that Xiao Zhanfeng had awakened, shock flashed across his face.

“Xiao Zhanfeng, you actually woke up?!”

Shen Ruoyun’s eyes widened too, quickly filling with joy.

“Big Brother Xiao, you’re finally awake!”

She had just stepped forward when the Seventh Prince grabbed her back.

Xiao Zhanfeng looked at them with eyes as cold and poisonous as blades.

“You adulterous pair!”

“Stop acting in front of me!”

“Get lost!”

The Seventh Prince’s expression changed drastically. He immediately drew the sword at his waist.

“Who are you calling a dog?!”

Holding the sword, he charged forward.

Shen Sangsang instantly spread her arms and shielded Xiao Zhanfeng behind her.

“How dare you!”

The Seventh Prince sneered.

“Xiao Zhanfeng is nothing but a powerless cripple now. What’s the point of protecting him?”

“You’d be better off following this prince. I can guarantee you wealth and glory!”

Xiao Zhanfeng trembled with rage, his nails nearly digging into his flesh.

【Damn it!】

【If I had my strength right now, I’d tear this bastard into pieces!】

Just then, Feng Zexuan’s voice rang out in Shen Sangsang’s mind.

“Shen Sangsang, shout ‘Help!’”

Shen Sangsang immediately obeyed.

Using all her strength, she let out a terrified scream.

“Help!”

Moments later, over a dozen masked men wielding broadswords rushed out from the forest.

The leader bellowed:

“This road was built by me, this tree was planted by me!”

The men behind him shouted in unison:

“If you want to pass through here, leave behind your money!”

“Surround them!”

After being drugged, the already weakened Seventh Prince and Shen Ruoyun couldn’t even resist.

The group of “bandits” subdued them with ease.

The leader searched the Seventh Prince from head to toe and didn’t find even a single copper coin.

His expression darkened as he raised his broadsword.

“No money? Then pay with your lives instead!”

The blade whistled through the air straight toward the Seventh Prince’s face!

The Seventh Prince was scared out of his mind. Just as the blade was about to split his head open, his survival instincts exploded.

In his panicked retreat, he tripped over a stone and lost control of his body, crashing violently into Xiao Zhanfeng’s wheelchair and knocking him to the ground!

“No—!”

Shen Sangsang reacted swiftly and kicked away the “bandit” swinging the blade.

The “bandit” staggered backward, looking even angrier.

He exchanged a glance with another companion. At the same time, both men raised their broadswords and lunged from opposite directions toward Xiao Zhanfeng, who had fallen to the ground.

Shen Sangsang quickly found the perfect angle and spread her arms to shield Xiao Zhanfeng.

【Here it comes! One stab from the left, one stab from the right!】

【The blood packs are waiting for you guys!】

“Puchi—!”

“Puchi—!”

Both blades pierced through her body at the same time!

One pierced through her left kidney.

The other pierced through her right kidney.

Blood instantly burst forth, staining the front of her clothes red.

Even the trembling Seventh Prince and Shen Ruoyun were utterly dumbfounded.

Xiao Zhanfeng’s eyes split wide in horror. At that moment, it felt like his entire world had collapsed.

“SANG SANG—!”

He tried to rush toward her, but his body felt nailed to the ground. He could only watch helplessly as she collapsed stiffly.

Shen Sangsang slowly turned around and, with a tragic smile, fell into his arms.

She raised a blood-covered hand, wanting to touch his face, but it dropped weakly midway.

“Husband…”

Her voice grew weaker and weaker, barely audible.

“I’m sorry… I… can’t stay with you anymore…”

Blood trickled from the corner of her lips, dripping hot onto Xiao Zhanfeng’s hands and scorching his heart with pain.

Xiao Zhanfeng clutched her increasingly “cold” body tightly, his voice trembling.

“No! No, you can’t!”

“Sang Sang, hold on! I’ll save you! I’ll take you to a doctor!”

Shen Sangsang weakly shook her head, tears sliding down her face.

“Husband… I love you so much…”

“Being… able to die for you… makes me happy…”

Her voice faded softer and softer.

Her eyes slowly closed.

Her head tilted to the side and rested against his shoulder.

Her hands fell limply.

Completely motionless.

Xiao Zhanfeng hugged her tightly and let out a heart-wrenching cry.

“Sang Sang! Sang Sang!”

“Don’t sleep! Wake up!”

He shook her frantically, trying desperately to wake the now cold body in his arms, but it was all futile.

“I promise you! I’ll promise you anything!”

“Wake up—!”

His voice was filled with despair and agony.

Inside the system space, Feng Zexuan complained:

【Not bad acting. The prop knives looked pretty realistic, huh?】

【And those blood packs were hidden perfectly. Full marks for the effect!】

On the system panel, Xiao Zhanfeng’s affection toward Shen Sangsang finally broke through the last barrier and reached 100%.

“Ding—! Affection meter maxed out! Romance mission completed!”

Feng Zexuan nodded in satisfaction.

“Alright. These people can pass out for a while now.”

The “bandits” immediately scattered knockout powder toward the grief-stricken Xiao Zhanfeng and the stunned Seventh Prince and Shen Ruoyun.

The three of them soon fell unconscious once more…
