Chapter 57 – Beauty Saved by A Hero The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)

“Move!” Murong Ye pushed Murong Ye away and used her short blade to stab the snake once again. A loud “Chi” was heard, the knife-edge cuts straight into the body of the creature, the sun reflected the fresh red blood at the end of the sharp blade…

“Hiss… Hiss… Hiss!” The snake hissed in pain and it flung its sturdy tail towards her in full violence, a gust of strong wind blew across them and the leaves were overthrown by that gushing breeze.

Murong Xue held on her blade tightly around her hands and made a sudden turn; the snake vomited out a pool of blood and strike at her, shaking its tail non-stop like a crazy maniac.

Murong Ye could not escape in time and was hit very hard on his back, he collapsed on the floor and spat out blood from his mouth, he tried to get back on his feet but it was in vain.

“Brother!” Murong Xue stunned at that scene of his brother’s attack, she went forward to help her brother but just then, a swift figure flew down from nowhere and grabbed his brother by his arms, they both were caught up in the mid-air and evaded the snake’s attack.

Mu Rong Xue breathed out in relief. Suddenly, she smelled a taste of blood nearby and looked up, there in front of her were the snake’s fangs attacking towards her cheeks, she knew she could not escape this time…

Just when she was about to move away from it, a white figure came to her rescue. The person was in a white robe and the musky scent made her feel safe.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here!” a firm voice rang through her ears, and a few blows were released from his fingertips, soon enough she heard the snake moaned in agony and it turned into dust, disappeared into the thin air.

Murong Xue looked at her hero and dumbfounded, “Ouyang shizi, why are you here?”

“Yu Mountain is too dangerous, I’m worried when I know you’re here alone!” Ouyang Shaochen looked back at the warming eyes of hers.

“I thought you said that you have something else to do?” Murong Xue asked in confusion.

“You’ve already solved my problems!” Ouyang Shaochen’s mouth lifted up a bit, his eyes shone in delight.

Murong Xue stared at him, feeling puzzled, “You meant… The flood in Ling Nan!”

“Exactly!” Ouyang Shaochen exclaimed. The flood in Ling Nan was disastrous and was in desperate need of aid, since Murong Xue had already thought of a strategic proposal; he did not have to burst through his head thinking for a solution.

“Sister!” Murong Ye limped over towards them with Xun Feng’s help, his face was as white as snow and blood spots were staining the corner of his mouth.

“How do you feel?” Murong Xue asked in concern.

Murong Xue gave her his best comforting smile, “I’m alright…”

“He had internal bleeding but it’s not life-risking!” Xun Feng replied on his behalf, he gazed at the fainted Shuang Xi and Feng Tuo, “one of them is injured badly, another one was poisoned, and they could no longer go up this mountain…”

“Brother, please bring them back to Zhen Manor.” Murong Xue was saddened by the view of her servant; they all needed immediate medical attention at the moment.

Murong Ye was slightly disappointed. The fire lotus had been destroyed and now finally Murong Xue found the Di Yang grass; he wish to go up to the mountain with his sister so badly, but unfortunately, his fighting skill was just average and moreover, he was badly injured. He knew that if he continued on with Xue Er, he would be a burden to her.

“Sister, you must be careful!” Murong Ye emphasized to her, worrying about his sister. He took out a small packet from his waist and passed to Murong Xue, “This is the amulet which mum had prayed for me, you wear this now and you’ll be safe!”

Murong Xue took the packet from her brother and hung it around her waist, “Don’t worry brother, I will go home safely!”

After the assurance from his sister, Murong Xue looked up at Ouyang Shaochen, “ Ouyang shizi, please take good care of my sister.”
