An Mo gaze remained fixed on the small leaf resting between his fingers. To others, it looked completely ordinary, nothing more than a stray leaf that had accidentally fallen into Su Qinglan’s hair during the chaos earlier.
But the moment his eyes landed on it, the warmth inside them disappeared completely, replaced by a terrifying coldness that made even the surrounding air feel heavy.
Without saying another word, violent flames suddenly appeared at his fingertips.
The fire quietly swallowed the leaf whole, and within seconds it turned into ashes that scattered into the wind.
An Mo eyes darkened as he looked at the disappearing ashes, and a dangerous aura slowly spread from his body.
"They dared to use witchcraft on my female," he muttered coldly.
Su Qinglan, who had been standing beside him earlier while eating snacks and watching the drama unfold, looked at him with confusion.
She did not understand why his expression had suddenly become so ugly. However, before she could even ask him what had happened, her entire body suddenly stiffened.
A sharp pain exploded inside her chest without warning.
Her breathing instantly became uneven as she tightly clutched her clothes near her heart. It felt as though countless invisible threads that had been severed for a long time were suddenly forcefully connected again all at once.
The overwhelming sensation nearly made her collapse.
"Ah—!"
A painful sound escaped from her lips as her face turned deathly pale.
The sudden agony came so violently that her legs lost strength, and her body staggered backward.
Fortunately, An Mo’s expression changed instantly, and he immediately caught her before she could fall onto the ground.
"Lan Lan!"
For the first time, panic appeared clearly inside his voice.
But Su Qinglan could barely answer him. The pain surging through her body was becoming stronger and stronger with every passing second.
Her beast marks had all begun glowing faintly, and every single one carried different emotions and suffering toward her.
Xuan Long’s beast mark was trembling heavily against her skin. The sorrow coming from it was so deep and overwhelming that tears instantly gathered in her eyes. It felt suffocating, painful, and desperate, as though someone was drowning in endless despair with no way to escape.
At the same time, Shi Feng’s beast mark began throbbing violently.
The pain from it was even worse, so sharp and unstable that Su Qinglan nearly bent over completely. It felt as if his life itself was hanging by a thin thread, weakening little by little.
Cold sweat covered her forehead as she bit her lips hard to stop herself from crying out louder.
Meanwhile, Han Jue and Hu Yan’s beast marks were also glowing.
Although the pain from them was not as horrifying as Xuan Long’s and Shi Feng’s, there was still uneasiness and injury flowing from both of them.
All the pain mixed together and rushed toward her at once, making her entire body tremble uncontrollably.
An Mo expression became colder the more he realized what had happened. His eyes immediately shifted toward the ashes of the burnt leaf, and understanding flashed across his mind almost instantly.
