Chapter 211

In astonishment, Yu Ying stared at the finger in front of him and blinked. He didn’t take any action.

The others were also staring at Lyuzhu in surprise. They didn’t understand why she would let Yu Ying whom she met for the first time suck her finger.

Baiyu’s eyes flashed. Somehow, he had bitter feelings. Then, he glanced at Yu Ying’s dark purple lips and took a tumble. Yet, despite that, he still felt disgruntled.

Apart from Baiyu, Duanmu Xi and Situ Kong also understood why Lyuzhu did that.

Seeing that Yu Ying was still staring at her dully, Lyuzhu cracked a sweet smile and moved her finger a bit forward. She said with a pout, “It hurts!”

Hearing what Lyuzhu said, Yu Ying immediately came to his senses and comforted her nervously, “Don’t be afraid. It won’t hurt later.”

Then, Yu Ying sucked Lyuzhu’s finger in his mouth. Instantly, a strange sweet scent permeated his mouth. He licked the wound gently and didn’t take Lyuzhu’s finger out of his mouth until he felt that the wound stopped bleeding.

He blew air to the wound of Lyuzhu’s finger and felt sorry for her. He stared at her and asked in a low voice, “Does it still hurt?”

Lyuzhu saw Yu Ying’s lips become rosy again and smiled sweetly, “No, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Baiyu found Lyuzhu’s sweet smile somewhat dazzling and took two steps forward to hold her in his arms.

Upon seeing Baiyu, Lyuzhu immediately twined her arms around Baiyu’s neck and rubbed her face against his neck, “Bai.”

Baiyu lifted Lyuzhu’s finger and swiped across it. Then, her finger was healed.

Lyuzhu stared at her finger and blinked in confusion. Then, she gazed at Baiyu in surprise, “You’re so awesome.”

Lyuzhu cupped Baiyu’s face and gave him a kiss.

Baiyu’s face slightly flushed. He looked at Lyuzhu’s rosy face, his faint blue eyes flashing. Why did she always kiss him? Did she do this to others too? At the thought of her asking Yu Ying to suck her finger, he felt disgruntled again.

“Mistress, if you’ll excuse me, Lyuzhu and I will go back to the crystal ball.” His cold voice contained subtle fidget.

Duanmu Xi stared at Baiyu and Lyuzhu in his arms. Something flashed across her mind but it just slipped away.

“Okay.”

Right after Duanmu Xi finished speaking, Baiyu and Lyuzhu disappeared in situ.

In the crystal ball.

Baiyu looked at Lyuzhu in his arms and felt a bit perturbed, “Don’t kiss me again.”

Lyuzhu blinked in confusion, “Why?”

Her childish voice was full of grievances. She didn’t understand why Bai suddenly forbade her from kissing him. Did he dislike her now? At the thought of the possibility, Lyuzhu felt even more aggrieved. Her aqua eyes immediately became misty.

Baiyu stared at Lyuzhu’s tearful face and his heart ached abruptly. He turned his face away from Lyuzhu’s aggrieved look, saying agitatedly, “Just don’t.”

After saying that, Baiyu put Lyuzhu on the ground and then walked to his room without hesitation.

Seeing that Baiyu just left her behind, Lyuzhu burst into tears.

When Baiyu heard Lyuzhu’s heart-wrenching cries, his heart ached abruptly. However, he didn’t turn his head.

Upon hearing Lyuzhu’s cries, Hongling, Qingfeng, and Lanze all ran out of their rooms.

Hongling saw Lyuzhu who was crying out of breath and held the latter into her arms. She said gently, “What’s wrong? Who made you so sad?”

Lyuzhu didn’t answer. She just kept crying in Hongling’s arms. Her favorite person disliked her now.

Lying in bed and hearing Lyuzhu’s cries, Baiyu tossed around fretfully, his light blue eyes glistening with worry and self-condemnation.

What was wrong with him? How could he bully a kid? Yet, why did he feel so agitated?

…

In the Wilderness Jungle at night.

Phoenix Fourteen’s poison had been dispelled, but she still had an excessive loss of blood and had been unconscious. Hence, they decided to rest in situ for a night.

Staring at the dead bodies of Flying Green Tendrils here and there, Duanmu Xi knitted her eyebrows and directly threw out a string of fireballs to burn them into ashes.

Long Ri and Phoenix Thirteen should be on watch tonight. Long Yue and Phoenix Five had kept watch last night. Yu Ying wanted to take care of Phoenix Fourteen. Therefore, Long Ri and Phoenix Thirteen became the night watchmen.

Yet, they weren’t close or talkative. So, they just spent the night on watch by the bonfire quietly.

Hugging Phoenix Fourteen, Yu Ying leaned against a tree and stared at the sleeping woman in his arms. His eyes slightly flashed. He bent down to kiss Phoenix Fourteen on her forehead, “You’re such a greedy sleeper. Anyhow, you must wake up tomorrow.”

Currently, Phoenix Fourteen felt that she was no longer in the muddy pond but floating on the blue sea. She felt as if the sunlight shone on her face, which made her want to open her eyes.

Yu Ying was thrilled to see Phoenix Fourteen’s eyelashes flutter. He stared at Phoenix Fourteen’s face without blinking, waiting for her to wake up.

Phoenix Fourteen slowly opened her eyes and saw Yu Ying’s excited and delighted face.

Yu Ying clutched Phoenix Fourteen into his arms and said with excitement, “You’re fine. Finally, you’re fine.”

His hoarse voice was trembling.

Phoenix Fourteen closed her eyes again and slightly curled her lips.

Although she had been in a coma, she had heard what they said clearly. Hence, she understood how he felt now.

Upon seeing Phoenix Fourteen was awake, Phoenix Thirteen immediately ran over here, “Fourteen, you’re awake! You’ve freaked me out.”

Phoenix Thirteen was excited, her eyes becoming faintly teary.

“Thirteen.” Phoenix Fourteen saw Phoenix Thirteen and immediately pushed Yu Ying away bashfully. She wanted to sit up but got held into Yu Ying’s arms again.

“You’ve just woken up. Don’t move about.”

Phoenix Fourteen pinched Yu Ying hard behind Phoenix Thirteen’s back. Phoenix Thirteen was still here. How could he hold her into his arms? It was such a shame.

Yu Ying curled his lips and didn’t feel pain at all. Instead, he felt so happy, because Fourteen had come around.

“Is Fourteen awake?” Duanmu Xi also ran over here upon hearing that Fourteen had woken up, followed by Phoenix Five, Long Yue, and the others.

“Your Highness.” Upon seeing Duanmu Xi, Phoenix Fourteen struggled to get up again.

This time, Yu Ying didn’t stop her, but Duanmu Xi disallowed her to rise, “You’re not well. Lie there.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” It was Yu Ying but Phoenix Fourteen who thanked Duanmu Xi.

Hearing Yu Ying’s thanks, Phoenix Fourteen blushed even more.

“Let me take a look.” Situ Kong also ran over here.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi immediately made way for Situ Kong.

Situ Kong squatted down to check Phoenix Fourteen’s face and then took pulse for her carefully.

A while later, Situ Kong put down Phoenix Fourteen’s wrist and said with a smile, “She’s okay. Her poison has been utterly cleared. Thanks to that little thing, Fourteen’s poison has been dispelled. So has Yu Ying’s poison.”

Yu Ying’s eyes slightly flashed. It turned out that the little girl asked him to suck her finger simply to clear his poison. He would remember her favor for them forever.

Phoenix Fourteen looked at Situ Kong and Duanmu Xi, “Thank you, Elder Situ, Your Highness.”

Duanmu Xi smiled at Phoenix Fourteen gently, “It’s a good thing that you’re fine.”

Then, she turned to look at the others, “Everybody, go to rest. Yu Ying will take care of Fourteen.”

“Yes.” Then, they all went back to their positions.

Under the faint moonlight, Yu Ying hugged Phoenix Fourteen tightly without saying anything.

…

In the Northern Courtyard of Prince Zhan’s mansion.

Huai’er looked at Liqing who was sitting by the table and staring blankly. She knitted her eyebrows and shook her hand in front of Liqing, “Sacred Maiden, Sacred Maiden…”

Liqing looked up at her in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

“Region Master told us to stall Prince Zhan and stop him from going to the Wilderness Holy Region,” Huai’er said and then passed a note to Liqing.

Liqing glimpsed the note and didn’t take it.

“Stall him?” Liqing cracked a bitter smile and looked out of the window, “Region Master has thought too highly of me. Now, I can’t even see Mo, let alone approach him. How can I stop him from going to the Wilderness Holy Region?”

Huai’er hedged and her eyes slightly flashed. She looked at Liqing and said in a low voice, “Princess Consort Zhan has been away for more than half a month. Don’t you want to take the opportunity to win Prince Zhan’s favor?”

Liqing’s eyes sparkled but within an instant, her eyes became dull again, “It’s never easy to win his favor.”

He had long fallen in love with Duanmu Xi. He had never had feelings for Liqing.

Huai’er curled her lips, “Do you forget the specialty of the Wilderness Holy Region?”

Liqing was slightly dazed to hear that and then looked at Huai’er, “You mean planting a worm?”

Seeing that Liqing finally took the hint, Huai’er said with a smile, “You must have heard about Love Worm.”

Of course, Liqing knew about that. The target would fall in love with the one who planted the Love Worm. Liqing struggled a bit. Actually, she had never thought about planting a worm in him. Neither had she thought about hurting him. She loved him. Her love was pure. Yet, no matter how hard she tried, he had never had feelings for her.

Upon seeing Liqing’s hesitant expression, Huai’er had a glimmer of fierceness across her eyes, “Now is the best time. If Princess Consort Zhan comes back, we won’t stand any chance. If Prince Zhan falls for you, we won’t be afraid of your faked pregnancy being disclosed. Don’t you want to be loved by Prince Zhan?”

“Of course I do,” Liqing answered without thinking. She was so desperately eager to gain his love. Without hesitation, she looked at Huai’er and said, “Do you have any Love Worm?”

As Liqing hesitated, Huai’er let out a sigh of relief and took a wooden box out of her arms to pass it to Liqing, “There are Love Worms in the box.”

Liqing took the wooden box and asked with a frown, “How to use the Love Worms?”

“There are two worms. The parent worm is for you and you should plant the baby worm in him.”

Hearing that, Liqing frowned even more heavily, “You know the current situation. We can’t approach him at all. How can we plant the worm in him?”

Huai’er slightly curled her lips, “You’ve forgotten this. We can’t approach him but someone else can.”

A figure instantly crossed Liqing’s mind.
