Your Highness Yh Chapter 63 (1/2)
It turned out the couple wasn’t from the village. They were actually a pair of wandering doctors in jiang hu. The reason why they entered the black forest was because they were being chased by their mortal enemies. The villagers from the black forest saved them, and they ended up residing here.
However, a year ago, there was a strange outbreak of a contagious disease. All the villagers that encountered the disease grew yellow spots. The spots gradually expanded until it covered their entire bodies. The victims eventually died from the pain.
Although the couple weren’t exactly good people, they couldn’t stand seeing all the villagers die from pain. They tried their best to invent some type of healing potion, but the disease was just too strange. Thus, they could only watch their saviors turn yellow and die.
Afterwards, nearly all the villagers were dead. The only ones that remained were the children. Perhaps since they were young, their immune system were stronger.
The couple tried the best to save the children. After researching day and night, they finally found a method to cure the disease. However, in order for it to be effective, the potion needed the blood of forty nine female virgins.
In order to gather the blood of forty nine female virgins, the couple took the risk of b.u.mping into their mortal enemies once more. They only needed the blood of two more virgins, but at the time, they were going to be discovered and killed. Therefore, they had no choice but to retreat back to the black forest to think of a different plan.
At this point, the old woman elaborated: “We actually only wanted the blood from her fingertips. We weren’t planning to kill her or anything. Since our intentions are to save the children, please let us go!”
Lin Shan was very skeptical. What?! How did they suddenly turned from evil to good? They are so good with their words. They could turn a mouse into a cat. I bet they could even turn a monk into a woman. Those liars!!!
Lin Shan went over and grabbed the dagger from the old man and threw it onto the ground. She pretended to look fierce and threatened: “Don’t lie to me. Tell me where that young lady is! How dare you use her for your potion?! I’m going to kill you both!!!”
The old man was nearly in tears. Oh I’m so old, why am I always encountering these type of women? The previous woman was scary enough. This one is even worse!
He wailed: “Miss. We are truly telling the truth. If you don’t believe us, you can check our cellar. The children are still waiting for our potion!”
This time, it actually sounded more believable. Lin Shan looked at Lian Feng and noticed he was silent. Therefore, she continued to press: “Where is that young lady then? Where have you hid her?”
“Who would dare to hide that woman? The man that was with her took her away. While they were leaving, she even bit him. His buff arm was all b.l.o.o.d.y….” The old man recalled as he shuddered.
Based on his words, it did sound like Du Ming Yue’s style. Could she still be around the area? And who’s the man that’s with her? Is he the one that kidnapped her?
Lin Shan had a bunch of unanswered questions in her mind and she was bewildered. She decided to let Lian Feng make the final conclusion.
Lian Feng was firm and decisive: “Which direction did they go?”
After the couple pointed at the direction, Lian Feng woke up the rest of the guards and made some revisions. Then, they continued their path to locate Du Ming Yue.
Before they left, Lin Shan willingly gave the couple a few drops of her blood. The old couple were overjoyed.
As they went on their way, Lin Shan couldn’t help but questioned Lian Feng: “How do you know they’re not making things up? You’re not guessing, are you?”
“Of course not.” Lian Feng replied. “Actually, the moment we encountered them in the forest, I already knew something was fishy. Those two clearly knows Martial Arts.”
Lin Shan came to a realization: “So you purposely followed the old woman into her house?”
“Yes.” Lian Feng nodded.
“So how are you so sure they are not lying to us?”
