Chapter 251: Anxious, promptly sitting down (2/2)

How did she do it? She’d managed to explain everything that had just happened down there. Now all she was missing was the entrance to the den, which was actually hidden by a rock just by her feet. Gu Qishao had completely sealed his lips to stare at that particular rock, figuring that everything would be useless to Han Yunxi as long as she couldn’t find the entrance. A worried Gu Qishao shot another glance at Mu Linger, leaving her heartbroken as her lips thinned. Her tears finally flowed silently down her face.

But Han Yunxi suddenly muttered, “Who put so many poisons here at the entrance?!”

That’s right, she had found the entrance. With so many poisons here, anyone who passed through the opening would definitely get poisoned. Many of the poisons inside were fatal, posing an even greater danger than the snake den inside.

“So, these poisons were planted here on purpose,” Han Yunxi explained clearly, before turning to Gu Qishao. “You did it?”

Gu Qishao had no words to reply her, but only tugged his lips into a false smile. Han Yunxi found the situation even more abnormal. She was about to push aside the rock when it was suddenly blasted into the air by a powerful sword qi. Following that, a giant pile of dead king cobras came flying out of the entrance before falling to pieces on the side. It wasn’t just anyone who possessed such a formidable sword qi. The white-robed man’s gaze turned complicated before he landed by Han Yunxi’s side and pulled her up.

“Let’s go!”

Not expecting this development, Gu Qishao made to stop them, but the figure that flew out of the snake den was even faster than him. He chased after the white-robed man before sending out a wave of extremely fine sword qi. Like a stream of light, it aimed precisely for the center of the white-robed man’s skull. He only shifted out of the way, the motion slowing him down just enough for the black-robed man to catch up. He grabbed the white-robed man’s hand, which had been holding onto Han Yunxi’s shoulder, while his other hand scooped Han Yunxi into his arms.

His familiar temperature and scent, along with that ever-aggressive aura, made him a recognizable sight.

It was him, Long Feiye!

His eyes stared coldly at the white-robed man while his hand, filled with strength, held on tightly to Han Yunxi.

Han Yunxi was stunned!

“You brought her down here?” While Long Feiye had been fighting off the snakes below, he’d heard everything that had gone on above his head.

“Coincidentally, we met at the entrance so I brought her along,” the white-robed man said simply.

“Since when have members of the Shadow Clan liked to meddle in other people’s business?” Long Feiye asked again. The Shadow Clan were the personal guards of West Qin royalty. Aside from protecting their imperial charges, they typically didn’t care for anything else.

“I was too idle, perhaps,” the white-robed man bantered.

“You can go now,” Long Feiye’s aggression and superiority had been a part of him since his birth. His words were a simple command.

“She agreed to go with me,” the white-robed man was as gentle as before.

“Now she’ll go back on that promise,” Long Feiye replied directly, not even giving Han Yunxi a chance to speak up.

The white-robed man didn’t reply, but suddenly made a surprise attack with his fist. The wind around his fist was like a blade. Long Feiye shielded Han Yunxi as he dodged, and was about to fight back when Tang Li suddenly appeared through the entrance and shouted, “Long Feiye, your foot! Hurry and treat the poison! Hurry!”

Long Feiye could’ve gone through unscathed, but he couldn’t wait any longer once he heard Han Yunxi’s voice. He’d rested one foot on the ground to make sure his sword qi was powerful enough to blast through the entrance, thus leaving it prey for the poison snakes to attack him. Han Yunxi glanced down and saw the tattered remains of Long Feiye’s pants around his right foot. The foot was covered in snake bites, all of which were pouring black blood. In that moment, Han Yunxi sucked in a cold breath as goosebumps broke out all over her body.

She was a doctor of poisons, so she’d seen wounds even more severe than this one. Gu Qishao’s back and four limbs had been covered in bites, but she didn’t feel the same way when she saw those. Long Feiye’s ten or so wounds from his leg to his foot were enough to make her feel fear!

The white-robed man didn’t pay attention to Tang Li; neither did Long Feiye get distracted. The two of them were still exchanging blows. Although Long Feiye wasn’t as fast as the white-robed male, he was close enough. Add that to his excellent martial arts skills and the two were an even match.

“Stop it!” Han Yunxi suddenly shouted. She struggled free from Long Feiye’s grasp and stood in front to block him. When the white-robed man saw this, he immediately withdrew his incoming fist.

Long Feiye stopped as well, but it was only to look at Han Yunxi with furrowed brows as he said in a low voice, “Don’t fuss!”

But Han Yunxi was particularly ferocious as she lectured, “Treat your poison! Sit down this instant!” How deep must his poison be with so many wounds? If he didn’t treat them now, he’d die!

Faced with Han Yunxi’s wrath and serious tone, Long Feiye’s heart felt an indescribable feeling. He actually abandoned the white-robed man on the side and obediently listened to Han Yunxi as he sat down. Han Yunxi didn’t care about anyone else at this moment. She hastily took out needles and antidote from her medical pouch, her stern, strict motions striking fear in even Mu Linger’s heart. Mu Linger could only think, some women were terrifying when they got serious!

The white-robed man clenched and unclenched his fists, debating whether to continue the fight; Gu Qishao glanced at the wounds riddling his own body and suddenly lost the spark in his radiant eyes…
