Chapter 1868 - 1869: Go Ahead and Kill Me!
In this era of greed and lust, within the human-eating Ancient Tomb Ruins, harboring the intent to kill someone is effortless and devoid of guilt, but extending a helping hand to save someone requires immense courage!
Because in this treasure hunt, every person who dies in the Ancient Tomb Ruins reduces the competition.
Here, kindness is synonymous with stupidity!
Lou Yaoyao deeply understands this truth.
She knows that Ye Xuan surely understands this truth too.
In this situation, not to mention that she is Lou Xinyu’s sister, Lou Yaoyao, even if she were a complete stranger or an insignificant ant, in every sense, Ye Xuan should let her die without saving her.
He has no obligation, much less should he do this!
However, Ye Xuan hesitated for just an instant.
Only for an instant, then he resolutely extended his hand to help.
When Lou Yaoyao almost assumed that he would take her Miracle Medicine Fragment and venture into the passage alone to find the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, he ignored the Miracle Medicine Fragment and focused wholeheartedly on saving her.
Without looking back.
This left Lou Yaoyao somewhat stunned.
She gazed blankly at the man’s face just inches away, able to see every pore on his face, and also his unpretentious focus.
He was making every effort to rescue, sparing no effort, using the silver needles to save Lou Yaoyao.
Lou Yaoyao could feel with utmost certainty that at this moment, Ye Xuan had only one thought in his heart—save her and prevent her death.
"In this world, there is actually such a strange man."
Lou Yaoyao’s beautiful eyes sparkled, full of complexity and fascination, as if wanting to see through the man who defied logic, with emotions surging within her heart.
Lou Yaoyao once always believed that in this life, she would not develop feelings for any man; what she should pursue was the supreme peak of Martial Arts.
But.
At this moment.
She felt that her heart, like a rock, seemed to have been shaken, as if being cut open forcibly and something she never possessed was placed inside.
Very subtle, yet incredibly strong!
...
The world-shocking mysterious poison, which blocked almost all masters from invading, was indeed extremely formidable; even Qi Gong Masters couldn’t resist it.
But how could Ye Xuan’s Taiyin Divine Needle be ordinary?
Additionally, Lou Yaoyao was already an unmatched master of Qi Gong, and the rescue after poisoning was also very timely, so about half an hour later, Ye Xuan finally drove the mysterious poison out from Lou Yaoyao’s body.
"Whew—"
Ye Xuan waved his big hand, retrieving all the silver needles from Lou Yaoyao’s body, and exhaled a relieved breath, wiping the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Clearly, this emergency treatment had also taken quite a toll on Ye Xuan.
Fortunately, Ye Xuan was now a Qi Gong Master, with profound skills; otherwise, after using Taiyin Divine Needle, without two or three hours of rest, he might not even have the strength to walk.
Feeling the significant loss of Qi inside, Ye Xuan gritted his teeth feeling vexed: "Lou Yaoyao, if you keep pestering me and disturbing my mind, I will definitely have to kill you, definitely!!"
Sitting on the ground, Lou Yaoyao finally came back to her senses, looking at Ye Xuan’s exasperated appearance, with a mesmerized smile on her face: "Little brother, you’re so good..."
"You think I want to be this bleeding heart?" Ye Xuan’s anger flared: "If it weren’t for your irreplaceable contribution in looking for the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, I could kill you in a heartbeat!"
"Kill me?" Lou Yaoyao was stunned at the words, then squinted her eyes and smiled again: "Little brother, which kind of killing are you referring to?"
Ye Xuan: "..."
He immediately regretted going through all that trouble to save Lou Yaoyao.
Lou Yaoyao, I saved you fearing future conscience unrest and divine retribution, not so you could live and start playing games with me!
Forget it, forget it, not worth engaging with this female demon.
After a brief Breathing Control, Ye Xuan stood up to continue the journey: "Let’s keep going, you’ve wasted us over half an hour, we need to accelerate now."
"Carry me." Lou Yaoyao pouted slightly, looking pitifully at Ye Xuan: "I still have some poison residues in my body, no strength to stand."
"You..."
Ye Xuan pursed his lips, but eventually carried Lou Yaoyao on his back, because he knew what Lou Yaoyao said this time was true.
The world-shocking mysterious poison is indeed formidable.
If Ye Xuan had delayed his decision by a few more minutes, Lou Yaoyao might not have been able to make a comeback; even though Ye Xuan saved her, for a short time, Lou Yaoyao was like mud, no talk of her supposed strength, even any random master could easily KO her.
She truly has no strength left to walk.
And since Ye Xuan has already chosen to save her, he can’t leave her alone here; otherwise, if someone else enters this place, what awaits her is also death.
However, Ye Xuan is not a dog, or he would certainly enjoy bullying this demon a bit...
So, carrying Lou Yaoyao on his back, Ye Xuan continued deeper into the passage.
While Lou Yaoyao lay weakly and lazily on Ye Xuan’s back, she chattered endlessly: "Little brother, why did you save me? Is it because you’ve fallen for me too?"
Ye Xuan: "As I said, I’m acknowledging your irreplaceable contribution on this mission, and since there’s no personal vendetta between us, I saved you casually."
Lou Yaoyao: "The technique you demonstrated, it should be the long-lost Taiyin Divine Needle, right? I’ve heard it’s extremely draining, how...are you feeling now?"
Ye Xuan: "I’m good, no need for your concern, thanks."
Lou Yaoyao: "Little brother, can you call me ’sweetheart’ again?"
Ye Xuan: "No, what will you do to me?"
What a joke.
Before Lou Yaoyao got poisoned, Ye Xuan was wary of her unfathomable strength, and if she decided to walk away angrily, he couldn’t stop her.
Now, she’s almost a powerless burden, Ye Xuan surely wouldn’t suffer her grievances?
Resolutely refusing to bow to the lady villain!
Lou Yaoyao fell silent for a while.
Suddenly.
She leaned forward and planted a gentle kiss on Ye Xuan’s left cheek.
Ye Xuan was struck by lightning.
Lou Yaoyao, you’re serious!!
Behind Ye Xuan’s unseen back, Lou Yaoyao’s stunningly exquisite face flashed a shy blush, but her voice was still incredibly casual and unserious: "Little brother, now, I’ve really fallen for you, oh, I vow to heaven here and now, this life, I will only be your woman, Ye Xuan!"
Ye Xuan snapped back to reality, almost tripping and taking a nosedive.
The passage resounded with Ye Xuan’s agonized howl: "Lou Yaoyao, if you keep harassing me, I’ll damn out kill you!!"
Who knew, Lou Yaoyao would say: "Go ahead, little brother, kill me, then!"
Ye Xuan: "..."
