Chapter 439 (2/2)

He patted her hands, comforting her. “It’ll be alright. With me here, he will definitely be okay. Although it’s going to take a while, he can be saved. The problem is that I need something and I’ve got to go get it.”

“What is it? Master, just tell us and we’ll definitely get it for you!” volunteered the crowd. The way they said ‘Master’ was filled with respect now, truly recognising Ye Lang as Tigress’ master.

“It’s called Tianji armour…” Ye Lang stared at them as if embarrassed to be a wet blanket.

“Tianji armour?! What IS that?” asked Athena.

Athena had arrived a while ago. Although she was slower than Ye Lang, she wasn’t THAT slow. She’d already been here since Ye Lang’s conversation with the assassin. From their dialogue, she realised how intelligent the kid actually was to think of counter-hiring the assassin to kill the other client. This way, he could strike the other party even though he didn’t know them. Even she wouldn’t have thought of this.

However, the cost of this plan was astronomical too. A million gold coins had to be offered, though he didn’t seem to be affected at all.

No matter what, Athena realised she liked Ye Lang more now. He was sometimes intelligent, sometimes dumb but she liked it.

“Tianji armour, isn’t that the precious heirloom of the Li clan? Right, Ye Lang, didn’t you make one too? Can you use that instead?” On the other hand, Tigress was familiar with this treasure. However, this was a suit of armour with alchemy properties. While it was a unique piece of equipment, it didn’t seem to be related to treating a poisoned patient.

“Yep, that’s the one! The one I made might be able to help but I left it in my lab. And it’s not completely done, I didn’t have time to bring it with me…”

“You didn’t bring it… That means it’s still at the Ye Residence! The Li clan lives in the Imperial City of the Soaring Sky Empire too… Master, it would be difficult for us to get in…” Tigress said worriedly. “Can you make another suit?”

Ye Lang shook his head. “I can’t! The materials required are extremely rare. We might not be able to find them even if we search the entire mainland. I’ve already collected most of it years ago, I don’t think there’s any left anywhere! Making a new suit would definitely be more difficult than entering the Soaring Sky empire! I think it would be better for me to go get it myself…”

“No! You entering Soaring Sky now would be the same as a goat walking into the tiger’s jaws! Why must it be the Tianji armour, isn’t it just a suit of alchemy armour?” asked Tigress, puzzled.

“Yeah but it’s special because the armour can be absorbed into the wearer’s body. If we use it well, it can absorb the Call of Hades from the chief’s system. Not only will the chief be well again, but the poison would also reinforce the armour!” answered Ye Lang.

One needn’t use only herbs and medicine to solve medical problems, anything else can be used too!

“What if I get it myself? You wait here, I’m not important to them anyway!” Tigress thought for a moment and decided to go in Ye Lang’s place.

“You’re not important to them but you’re important to your father! Although he’s now sealed in ice crystal, I think you should still stay by his side to tend to him. I’ll go to the city myself, it won’t be a problem!” objected Ye Lang.

To be honest, other than the reason he stated, he was also very worried for Tigress. When he left Soaring Sky years ago, people like Liu Feiyan were harassed by the eighth princess due to their relations to himself. If Tigress were to enter the empire herself, he wasn’t sure what the eighth princess would do to her.

“But you’re a wanted criminal there, isn’t that suicide?” Tigress asked anxiously.
