Chapter 259: Not unless I’m dead

It wasn’t clear when the flesh-eating rats congregated around the stone door would leave; in any case, Jun Yixie wasn’t chased at all as he fled with Han Yunxi in his arms. Because he’d triggered the Sky Pit Death Trap to fall directly in the poison beast’s lair, his return path hadn’t been completely sealed by rocks. He retraced his route and quickly flew out of the limestone cave and up through the entrance.

The missing map and the activation of the Sky Pit Death Trap meant that the medical academy’s guards had tightly surrounded the entrance to the Sky Pit. It wouldn’t be easy for anyone to escape their eyes and escape. But Jun Yixie had enough skills to burst out of their guard and escape. One hand held on tightly to Han Yunxi while the other covered his face with a mask. He was about to leave when the silent Han Yunxi suddenly spoke up in a cold tone. “Jun Yixie, if you expose my identity, I’ll definitely let all of Northern Li know that His Highness Duke of Kang is the head of the Hundred Poison Sect!”

Despite the fact that the Sky Pit was ringed with guards, Jun Yixie had forgotten about her after hiding his own face. Though he only seemed to be holding onto Han Yunxi lightly, he had plenty of strength. As soon as she tried to struggle, she’d definitely break her back. It wasn’t strange for Han Yunxi to not struggle, but the unusual silence from her glib tongue was definitely abnormal. Jun Yixie had long taken precautions, but who knew that Han Yunxi’s first words would be to threaten him! He couldn’t help but laugh coldly.

“Han Yunxi, don’t forget that you’re in my hands now!”

Han Yunxi was as expressionless as ever. “Your Highness Duke of Kang, don’t forget that I’m the only one who can treat the poison in your shoulder!”

None of them had seen the poison beast this time. In other words, Jun Yixie didn’t have the poison beast’s blood to treat his poison, which meant his only choice lay with Han Yunxi. He laughed even louder at her words. “What, you don’t plan to treat your lordship’s poison even after falling into my hands?”

“I really wasn’t planning to,” Han Yunxi said fearlessly.

Jun Yixie wasn’t angry, but gave a soft laugh. Soon after that, he stuffed Han Yunxi’s head into his embrace, hugging her tightly as he flew towards the sky. This time, Han Yunxi did struggle, but the more she tried to move her head, the tighter Jun Yixie pressed against it. Her entire face was plastered against his chest, making it uncomfortable to breathe. One of her hands was pressed tightly against his body, the other trapped at her side by his hand around her waist, making it impossible for her to move.

Bastard!

Han Yunxi cursed from her heart. Was she too nice to others, and that’s why everyone bullied her? Unless she acted like a tiger, were they really going to treat her as a sickly cat?

By now, Jun Yixie had already taken her to the top of the Sky Pit. As soon as the medical academy guards saw someone come out, their archers launched arrows to shoot at them simultaneously! Jun Yixie avoided them while he escaped, his attention wholly focused on his surroundings. But it was then that Han Yunxi suddenly opened her mouth to bite down on his chest!

Biting, a woman’s most potent weapon!

Once, she’d bitten Long Feiye to the point of pain. Of course, compared with Long Feiye last time, Han Yunxi didn’t use poison this time. Jun Yixie’s poisoned shoulder was her greatest counter against him. Though she had plenty of poisons, she was in no rush to waste them all. Jun Yixie never expected that Han Yunxi would bite him. He unconsciously looked down at the same time an arrow flew towards him head-on. Jun Yixie quickly turned aside his head to avoid the weapon, narrowly preserving his life.

Detestable! This woman had done it on purpose, taking advantage of his concentration to make a move with her mouth!

Jun Yixie had no choice but to loosen his grip. “Han Yunxi, do you believe it when your lordship says I’ll thrown you back down?!”

Han Yunxi finally released him, her voice completely indifferent. “Do as you like…if you don’t want to live, that is.”

If she died, who would treat his poison?

He was the awe-inspiring sect head of the Hundred Poison Sect, a fierce and ambitious man in the world of poisons. Despite this, he still had no idea what the poison in his shoulder was, or when it’d flare up again to kill him. If news of this got out, how could he still maintain his foothold in that world? Jun Yixie was depressed. Time and again, he’d tried to kidnap this woman. Now he’d finally succeeded, but there was no sense of accomplishment at all. Instead, he was nearly fed up to death.

In the end, he chose to remain silent and give up on arguing with Han Yunxi. His focus was completely on dealing with the incoming arrows, but the extremely cranky Han Yunxi needed a place to vent and didn’t plan to let him off. Taking advantage of Jun Yixie’s loosened grip, Han Yunxi suddenly reached out a hand and scratch at his injured shoulder. No one else knew that Jun Yixie’s shoulder wound had still yet to heal, but Han Yunxi was very clear on the fact. More than that, she knew the best way to cause him pain was to scratch at it ferociously!

“Han Yunxi!” Jun Yixie bellowed in pain. Because Han Yunxi was in a bad mood, she didn’t fear Heaven or Earth. Instead of replying, she renewed her efforts with more strength! Jun Yixie couldn’t stand it anymore and held fast her hand again. But Han Yunxi only struggled violently in turn.

Jun Yixie dodged the various arrows while facing off against Han Yunxi kicking up a row. Before long, two arrows found their mark in his other shoulder. By now, each of the medical academy guards had started chasing after them using lightness techniques to get airborne.

“Han Yunxi, enough from you!” Jun Yixie gritted his teeth helplessly. He could only allow her to scratch him as he faced off against the medical academy guards. By the time he brought her past the arrows and guards to flee into the surrounding forests, both of his shoulders were soaked in blood. As soon as they landed, he viciously threw Han Yunxi aside, not showing her any tenderness at all.

Since when had any woman in the world tormented Northern Li’s Duke of Kang to such an extent? Han Yunxi tumbled to the ground in a lot of pain, but even that couldn’t compare to the pain in her heart. She didn’t even crease her eyebrows, but sat up and gave Jun Yixie a cold, penetrating look. Jun Yixie was currently treating his wounds when he caught Han Yunxi’s stare. His temper burst all over again as he kicked up a foot of dust into her face. “Slut!”
