Chapter 875: You cannot think of the pas (1/2)

t

So that was why Han Yunxi had shoved Long Feiye aside! Under these pressing circumstances, she had no other choice. If she hadn’t pushed him just then, he would have lost his life as soon as he circulated his qi to fly them away.

Long Feiye looked at the woman he doted on like a treasure in the palm of his hands. Now she was physically paralyzed in front of him, but he could do nothing to change it. His dark pupils burned with an undying flame as the sword in his hand began to shudder.

“Long Feiye, I’m begging you! I’m begging!” Han Yunxi was almost ready to cry. She was afraid that he’d lose everything in a moment of impulsiveness.

Baili Yuanlong and Baili Mingxiang were both staring gap-faced. They never thought that things would turn out like this. What reasons did Baili Yuanlong have to suspect Han Yunxi now!

Her legs were crippled! Broken!

But the snake queen pitied no one. Seeing Han Yunxi injured and Long Feiye unmoving, it seemed to understand something in its crafty mind and once again, swung its tail at Han Yunxi. At this moment, Baili Yuanlong flew over, pulled Han Yunxi aside, and headed for Long Feiye. He hollered, “Mingxiang, go up and find reinforcements!”

Baili Mingxiang returned to her senses and flew up immediately, shouting at the top of her lungs. “Xu Donglin! Xu Donglin!”

Yet soon enough, a snake leaped from the walls to pounce onto her body. Frightened, she tumbled back down and realized that the other snakes had already started climbing up. Baili Mingxiang was afraid of snakes--very, very much--but she steeled her will and flew up again. Yet the snake queen was quick to attack again. Baili Yuanlong’s skills were limited, so there was no way he could escape with both Long Feiye and Han Yunxi in tow. After dodging two attacks, he was already at his limit.

“Baili Yuanlong, take us to the right. No matter what, help me buy fifteen minutes’ worth of time! Only then can I treat His Highness’s poison!” Han Yunxi was filled with fury, but he was the only man she could count on now.

“I’ll definitely do it! This soldier vows a military pledge!” Baili Yuanlong replied with determination. He grit his teeth and took Long Feiye and Han Yunxi to avoid the snake queen’s blows before dropping them in the very rightmost corner of the den.

“Baili Yuanlong, don’t stray too far from us. The snake queen won’t dare to use poison again me, just her tail! Just stand behind me and you won’t get poisoned!” Han Yunxi said.

“Alright!” Baili Yuanlong agreed immediately. He used to be just so quick to orders back at the south central regions!

But they couldn’t think of the past now when it’d only lead to tears…

Han Yunxi pushed Baili Yuanlong’s promises to the back of her mind. Right now, her primary objective was to treat Long Feiye’s poison and preserve his life. As long as he was alive, everyone would survive; but if he died, who else could live?

After taking care of things with Baili Yuanlong, she turned to meet his icy eyes. They were filled with rage enough to destroy the entire world! Alarmed, she quickly grasped his hand. “Ye, listen to me, won’t you? Clear your head! I’m fine! Really! It’s only...it’s only a pair of broken legs, they can be treated!” She had no idea whether he’d suddenly rush out in a fit of rage to slaughter everything. If he did and his blood and qi rushed to his head, all of her efforts would be wasted.

As expected, Long Feiye rested his hand on his sword. Han Yunxi panicked and held it in place with her own. “Long Feiye, my life is in your hands! If we don’t treat your poison, we’ll all die! It’s only my legs, how can that be worth both our lives?”

“Long Feiye, I’m begging you!” Han Yunxi was out of time. Or rather, it was Long Feiye who was running out of time.

Han Yunxi tugged on his waist belt and opened up his robes, her other hand still pressed tightly against the fingers wrapped around his sword. She was afraid that he’d try to fight again. Now that his chest was exposed, she’d need both hands to start the acupuncture treatment, but he was still fixated on her kneeling legs, his killing intent growing stronger and stronger. Han Yunxi tugged his hand to rest over her heart.

“Long Feiye, I need you to give me strength!”

Then she dropped his hand and began to search for his acupoints and apply the needles. She told herself to focus. Meanwhile, Long Feiye had one hand on his sword and the other pressed to Han Yunxi’s chest. One was gripping tightly, the other relaxed; one was icy cold, the other gently warm. His self control had always been phenomenal, but he’d never felt so hotheaded as he did now. He’d rather throw away this life and wreck the entire world!

Many times, he wanted to release Han Yunxi, but he couldn’t bear leaving her beating heart. Now he teetered on the edge of self control until an iciness in his stomach made him look down. He saw Han Yunxi crying, the tears falling against his skin. Only then did he struggle to clear his head and realize her face was soaked with crying.

Han Yunxi treated him while battling the pain in her legs, the worry for Long Feiye in her heart, and the fear for Baili Yuanlong and whether he’d be able to beat back the snake queen. It was impossible for her to focus, so what should have taken a moment seemed to take forever.

She was about to fall apart!

Long Feiye finally recovered his senses from his vicious thought cycles. How could he lose control at a time like this? How could he fall apart? Han Yunxi needed him! No matter how powerful he was or how high his status, there was one point where he always surpassed her, and that was the strength of his heart. No matter where and when, his heart had to be stronger than hers. Only then could he qualify enough to protect her!

He finally released his sword and rested his hands on her shoulders with a tender voice. “Yunxi, be good...nothing will happen!”

“Trust me, everything will be fine.”
