Chapter 82

Oh no, she seemed to have taken the wrong way. She was dragged here by Yue Ruye before so she was too nervous to pay attention to the way and the direction. Besides, it was too dark and the trees were too densely located, which made it even harder for her to identify the direction. The further she walked, the more sidetracked she got.

“Yue Ruye…” Chu Lian’er tried to call his name, which immediately startled a flock of unknown birds. As a result, Chu Lian’er rushed forward in fear.

“Chu Lian’er…” Yue Ruye’s voice was full of anxiety and self-accusation. While searching for anything left by Chu Lian’er on the ground, he called Chu Lian’er loudly.

Yue Ruye looked around and called Chu Lian’er loudly again. After waiting for several seconds, he still couldn’t hear the answer. Yue Ruye hit the tree next to him in disappointment. Why? Why didn’t she respond to him? He clearly saw her walk in this direction. Why couldn’t he find her? He really wanted to hear her voice now.

“Argh…” A scream pierced through the darkness. Chu Lian’er missed her step and fell into a deep cave.

It was Chu Lian’er’s voice. Yue Ruye raised his head and ran like a flash of lightning in the direction where the sound came from.

He hoped that she was fine. She must wait for him.

With a bang, Chu Lian’er fell into the bottom of the cave heavily. It was so dark in the cave that she couldn’t see anything.

Chu Lian’er felt dizzy and pain all over her body. She struggled to sit up and then suddenly felt that something cold got on her body. Then, she felt a prick in her chest as if something bit her. Chu Lian’er felt flustered and took out her spiritual wand without hesitation.

“Thunderous Shock.” A flash of lightning landed from the sky and blew up the poisonous snake that bit her.

A flash of light made Yue Ruye speed up running forward.

“Chu Lian’er…”

It seemed that someone was calling her. Chu Lian’er opened her eyes from a daze.

“I…am…” Chu Lian’er tried to respond and found that her voice was too low for the people outside the cave to hear.

Chu Lian’er searched around on the ground. Finally, she got a stone and tossed it upward with all her strength.

The noise here was not loud but Yue Ruye, who had been paying attention to everything, still heard it. He scurried to the mouth of the cave in which Chu Lian’er stayed and asked, “Chu Lian’er, are you in there?”

“Yes… I’m here…” Chu Lian’er answered Yue Ruye with effort. Chu Lian’er was happy. He was coming to save her. Even if she died now, she wouldn’t have any regret then.

Yue Ruye heard Chu Lian’er strange voice. His joy of finding Chu Lian’er was replaced by restlessness. He directly flew into the cave.

The cave was not big. Yue Ruye found Chu Lian’er leaning against the cave wall with the dim light, took two steps forward and then made Chu Lian’er lean against his shoulder gently, “Chu Lian’er, how are you feeling now?”

Chu Lian’er leaned against Yue Ruye’s shoulder and felt like crying with joy. She raised her hand and stroked Yue Ruye’s handsome face gently, “Could…you…call…me…Lian’er?”

Feeling that something was wrong with Chu Lian’er, Yue Ruye felt frightened rather than flustered, “Lian’er, what’s wrong?”

Chu Lian’er’s lips curved into a smile, “I’m…fine.”

Hearing Chu Lian’er’s talking in a forcibly normal tone, Yue Ruye was extremely frightened. He felt that this young girl in his arms was slowly dying.

Yue Ruye took out a night-shining pearl from his storage ring and instantly, the dark cave became bright.

With the light of the night-shining pearl, Yue Ruye finally saw clearly the dark lips of Chu Lian’er and looked around the cave. Then, he found the charred venomous snake.

Yue Ruye grabbed Chu Lian’er’s wrist and checked her meridians only to find that the poison had entered her internal organs but not her heart yet. Yue Ruye felt slightly relieved. Luckily, it was still not too late.

“Where is the injury?” While asking, Yue Ruye glanced over her body but failed to find the injury.

Hearing that, Chu Lian’er blushed and could barely tell where the injury was!

“Tell me!” Yue Ruye was so anxious aside. Although the poison hadn’t reached her heart, the injury must be handled as soon as possible!

“It’s…in…my chest,” Chu Lian’er faltered and then didn’t dare to look at Yue Ruye at all. Not only her face but also her neck and ears were red.

Yue Ruye looked at the position where Chu Lian’er talked of and also blushed. The injury was in her chest. No wonder she didn’t want to tell him before. What should he do now?

…

The moment Xuanyuan Mo got out of the rest area, he threw the man in black to the ground and flew towards Xuanyuan She alone.

Following Xuanyuan Mo out of the rest area, Duanmu Xi also saw the man in black and then immediately chased after Xuanyuan Mo.

Feeling someone was following him, Xuanyuan Mo slightly frowned and flew even faster.

Xuanyuan Mo was so fast that Duanmu Xi quickly lost him.

She looked around and suddenly caught sight of a white figure flashing across in the south. Then, she ran after the figure without hesitation.

Following Duanmu Xi closely, Mei Luo saw her disappear into the jungle and had a sense of foreboding.

“Show yourself,” Mei Luo didn’t run after Duanmu Xi but shouted at the dark jungle.

“You are the former sacred maiden indeed. Quite impressive.” A coquettish female voice sounded in midair.

The moment she finished talking, a girl wearing black clothes and a veil over her face showed up before Mei Luo. More than ten men in black also emerged with her.

The former sacred maiden? So, the girl was the current sacred maiden?

The leading woman in black took out a black token from her arms and raised it high, “As per the sacred master’s order, arrest the former sacred maiden, Mu Wan.”

The men in black all took action upon hearing the order.

Mei Luo looked at the people in black surrounding her. It was hard to tell her facial expression but her eyes were filled with a kind of relief. What should come still came but today, she couldn’t go with them.

“It’s Elder Mei.”

Mu Jianfeng, Huangfu Yu, Feng Xifan, Xue Luochen and Hua Ye’er all arrived.

“Action.” Hearing the order of the woman in black, all the people took action. Upon seeing Mei Luo attacked by the people in black, Mu Jianfeng and the others all came forward and helped.

…

In the depths of the jungle, a young man in yellow seemed to be waiting for something.

“There you are!” Xuanyuan She looked at Xuanyuan Mo who suddenly appeared before him and raised the corner of his mouth. He knew that Xuanyuan Mo would come.

Xuanyuan Mo stared at Xuanyuan She coldly, his amber eyes glistening with coldness.

Xuanyuan She felt the killing intent on Xuanyuan Mo and got frightened but thinking of the benefits that woman promised him, he feigned calmness and said, “I think you don’t want that woman to know you are an orc.”

As he mentioned “orc”, Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes turned red again. The rich killing intent on his body made Xuanyuan She shiver all over.

Xuanyuan Mo’s bloodthirsty eyes reminded Xuanyuan She of the terrible night a dozen years ago. Thinking of the scene of blood flowing like a stream, Xuanyuan She couldn’t help trembling.

“Third Brother… please calm down. I won’t tell her. Never.”

Xuanyuan She’s pacification made Xuanyuan Mo restrain his killing intent slightly.

Seeing Xuanyuan Mo’s red eyes turn amber slowly, Xuanyuan She wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with retrospective fear. Gosh. He was freaked out. It was great that Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes were changed back.

“Third Brother, I want you to help me find the wind spiritual fruit. As long as you help me find the wind spiritual fruit, I will never tell your secret to the others, especially that woman.”

Wind spiritual fruit? Xuanyuan Mo arched his eyebrows but he neither said anything nor asked about anything. He just waited for Xuanyuan She to continue talking coldly.

“I’m here in the Spiritual Beast Forest for the wind spiritual fruit. It is said that the wind spiritual fruit is in the Wind Valley, guarded by the mythical creature Immortal Crane.” If it were not for the wind spiritual fruit, he wouldn’t come to such a dangerous place.

“I will find the wind spiritual fruit,” Xuanyuan Mo said and then disappeared with a bound. He would find the wind spiritual fruit for Xi.

…

After pondering for a while, Yue Ruye reached out his hands to take off Chu Lian’er’s clothes.

“Don’t.” Chu Lian’er grabbed Yue Ruye’s hands and stopped him from continuing.

“I will be responsible for you.” Yue Ruye looked into Chu Lian’er’s eyes seriously and promised earnestly. Maybe he hadn’t fallen in love with her. Maybe he had fallen in love with her. Although he hadn’t figured out how he felt for her, he had no problem with marrying her and even felt a bit expectant.

Chu Lian’er wore a bitter smile. That was not what she meant. She liked him. If he wanted, she would even sleep with him. Moreover, he was doing this only to save her. However…

“It won’t help. The poison has got into my internal organs…” Chu Lian’er didn’t want to implicate him. Having said that, Chu Lian’er was out of breath. She had been poisoned by the snake. It would be fine if she stayed still. However, she exerted her spiritual power, which sped up the spread of the snake poison. The poison just got into her internal organs. Even if he helped suck the poisonous blood out of her, her life couldn’t be saved anyway.

Seeing Chu Lian’er feeble appearance, Yue Ruye felt so pitiful for her, “Stop talking. Have a rest. You will be fine for sure.”

After saying that, Yue Ruye pulled away Chu Lian’er’s hand gently and slowly took off her silk clothes. Women’s clothes were more complicated than men’s. Yue Ruye was inexperienced and the atmosphere was so weird. Gradually, Yue Ruye’s breath became rapid and he even had a cold sweat on his forehead. His hand also started to slightly tremble nervously.

Chu Lian’er slightly tilted her head and didn’t dare to look at Yue Ruye. When she heard his more and more rapid breath, her heart also started to race faster.

Finally, a red bellyband was exposed. While looking at Chu Lian’er’s fair skin, beautiful collarbones and exquisite neck, Yue Ruye couldn’t help holding his breath. The visual impact of red and white made him unconsciously swallow.
