Chapter 218 – Fangfei and Linghua
Saying any more wouldn’t do much good. Lin Xuanzhi’s actions today really were too harsh, so much so that Duan Yuyang couldn’t help but start to doubt whether there was some other profound meaning behind Lin Xuanzhi’s actions. Otherwise, with Lin Xuanzhi’s personality, he would never take this kind of action that brought pain to those he held dear and joy to his enemies.
Three people and two tigers swiftly arrived at the foot of the mountain. It was full of different varieties of trees and lush green vegetation. At first glance, the mountain was verdant and full of vitality.
Ah Bai and Hu Po were experts at mountain exploration. As soon as Hu Po received the command, he disappeared up the mountain, leaving a trail of smoke in his wake. Ah Bai, however, remained locked in Yan Tianhen’s arms, s.h.i.+vering nonstop.
Yan Tianhen saw Ah Bai’s pitiful appearance and took out a demonic delight fruit, giving it to Ah Bai. Ah Bai held the demonic delight fruit in his mouth and immediately pulled himself together. He shook his head, splattering water on Yan Tianhen’s face.
Within a moment, Hu Po returned.
“Ao ao ao!” Hu Po excitedly ran to Yan Tianhen. Yan Tianhen’s eyes lit up, and he informed Duan Yuyang, “Yuyang Gege, we found a cave.”
It wasn’t easy to climb up mountains on rainy days. Yan Tianhen had already prepared himself for accidental slips and falls.
At this moment, Yuan Tianwen spoke up, “Let Chi Xiao take us up.”
He whistled once, and a penta-coloured crane spread its wings and soared over from the distant rainy sky. It even uttered a crisp chirp.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier if you brought Chi Xiao?” Duan Yuyang rolled his eyes.
“As soon as I saw you, I forgot about everything else.” Yuan Tianwen stared at Duan Yuyang with deep affection.
Duan Yuyang s.h.i.+vered and rubbed the gooseb.u.mps that broke out on the back of his hand.
Yan Tianhen couldn’t help laughing, but he choked on something, and his chuckles abruptly turned into coughing that seemed as though he was hacking out a lung.
Ah Bai saw the penta-coloured crane and was immediately excited, as though he’d been pumped full of chicken blood. He jumped down from Yan Tianhen’s arms in a flash and half-ran, half-skipped towards Chixiao, who had landed on the ground.
Chi Xiao, “…..”
Heavens, why did he b.u.mp into this crazy tiger again?
Ah Bai, “Ao ao ao!”
Seeking kisses, seeking hugs!
Chi Xiao, “Chirp–”
The two rolled on the ground—
For a moment, the crane tried to fly around as the tiger kept jumping on it.
Hu Po expressionlessly watched Ah Bai act like an extreme embarra.s.sment. Suddenly, a demonic delight fruit appeared in front of his eyes; instantly, Hu Po couldn’t move his eyes away.
“Don’t pull such a long face.” Yan Tianhen hugged Hu Po in his arms and kissed his black nose. He smiled, “You’re still a tiger cub, don’t be so mature.”
Hu Po thought secretly, what’s wrong with being mature? Don’t tell me it’s better to be like Ah Bai, who acts as though there’s a pit in his brain every day?
However, for the sake of that demonic delight fruit, he wouldn’t refute the little master.
Just as they were about to approach the cave entrance, the rain suddenly stopped, and the sky changed from a dark grey to an eerie twilight crimson. Half of a deathly-pale moon hung from the sky, but it also didn’t seem like the moon, because it was truly too large — it was a hundred times larger than the moon that Yan Tianhen had seen before!
Yuan Tianwen stood at the entrance of the cave and gazed at this moon, frowning deeply.
This could absolutely be considered an anomaly.
Even in Mysterious Lands, anomalies definitely were not common sights.
Yan Tianhen was damp and clammy all over, as though a piercing chill had reached his very bones. Moreover, he felt that this frigid chill had already drilled into every single inch of his body, leaving him with nowhere to hide, and he couldn’t even expel the cold.
Not long after, his mind started to become distracted, and his body shook uncontrollably.
“Ah Hen, what’s wrong with you?!” Duan Yuyang, who had just finished heating up and drying his clothes with Qi, opened his eyes and saw that Yan Tianhen’s lips were purple, his entire body cold and clammy. He hurriedly rushed over, felt Yan Tianhen’s forehead with the back of his hand, and cried, “Yuan Tianwen hurry up and come over for Laozi, Ah Hen is sick!”
Yan Tianhen was already a Refining Qi Seventh Layer and naturally couldn’t be afflicted with common diseases.
Right now, his entire body was burning hot, like a stove, yet he gritted his teeth with all his might and trembled all over, evidently extremely cold.
Yuan Tianwen felt Yan Tianhen’s pulse. After a moment, he frowned. “The spiritual Qi in his body is in chaos, that strange rainwater has affected him.”
Looking at Yan Tianhen’s skin, it had actually turned red, as though it was burning.
Duan Yuyang was scared to death. He looked at the back of his own hand, and even though it was a little red and hurt a little, it simply couldn’t be compared to Yan Tianhen’s condition and wasn’t even worth mentioning.
Duan Yuyang was extremely anxious. “What do we do? I brought quite a lot of medicinal pills with me, see if any of them can be used.”
However, Yuan Tianwen said with a grave expression, “I have never seen symptoms like his before. He’s showing symptoms for both a fever and a cold. Clearly, we can’t casually give him any random medicine.”
The so-called “prescribing the right medicine for an illness” meant that one should be cautious. Even a small mistake could lead to a disastrous result and produce an irreversible consequence.
Duan Yuyang was so anxious that he scratched at his cheeks. He took another glance at Yan Tianhen and saw that he had fallen into a coma.
Duan Yuyang gritted his teeth as he reached his hand out and pushed Yan Tianhen up. “Anyways, we should at least dry up his wet clothes.”
Yuan Tianwen sat down in a cross-legged position and took Yan Tianhen. “Let me do this kind of thing.”
Duan Yuyang didn’t argue with him either. After all, his cultivation level was far behind Yuan Tianwen’s, and the experience he could bring Ah Hen couldn’t compare to what the other party could bring.
Within a moment, Yan Tianhen’s clothes were steamed dry.
He fell softly into Duan Yuyang’s arms and muttered unceasingly, “Da……Dage, Dage.”
