Chapter 1867 - 1868: Lou Yaoyao Is Poisoned
"Be careful, there’s an incredible poison mixed in the air here!" Ye Xuan frowned, saying to Lou Yaoyao who was beside him.
Lou Yaoyao had clearly sensed the anomaly of this place as well; before Ye Xuan could remind her, she had already activated her Qi Gong Protection and shielded herself tightly.
Ye Xuan was taken aback by this, feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness.
Lou Yaoyao had been tagging along all the way, wrapped in the disguise of a delicate little woman, not stopping for a moment for three days and nights. In such urgency, he had surprisingly forgotten the real abilities of this woman.
The Hidden Dragon demoness, needs him to worry?
When Lou Yaoyao heard Ye Xuan’s warning, she smiled pleasantly, "Little brother, you thought of me right away, it seems you care about me quite a bit!"
Ye Xuan pulled at the corners of his mouth, a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
Speaking of it, he was also a bit confused as to why he cared about Lou Yaoyao’s safety. This woman was Lou Xinyu’s biological sister!
Lou Yaoyao giggled again, "Little brother, since there’s incredible poison, why aren’t you reacting? Aren’t you afraid of getting poisoned?"
"I’m immune to all poisons."
Ye Xuan remarked lightly, suddenly feeling quite proud.
Indeed, Lou Yaoyao immediately displayed a look of admiration and surprise, "Wow, immune to all poisons? Little brother, you’re amazing!"
Ye Xuan: "..."
Praised by Lou Yaoyao like this, Ye Xuan felt inexplicably weird.
With a shrug, Ye Xuan came back to his senses, "This place is no good to linger in, let’s go."
Saying this, Ye Xuan continued to walk deeper into the passage.
Lou Yaoyao clung tightly.
In the poison-filled passage, corpses lay everywhere!
For about half a mile, the place was filled with dense poison gas, so much so that wherever Ye Xuan walked along this section, there were bodies everywhere beneath his feet.
The decaying corpses emitted a heavy stench.
Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched continuously, holding back laughter, "These people must have sensed the presence of poison long ago, yet they insisted on pressing deeper. For treasure, they’ll even throw their lives away."
"Little brother, that’s where you’re wrong." Lou Yaoyao giggled, "They are all top experts from around the world, very proud, and before dying, they probably believed they could withstand the poison’s corrosion; it’s just that reality is too harsh."
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but glance at Lou Yaoyao.
Hmm, you are very well-endowed.
Finally, the two of them walked out of the section filled with poison gas, but the passage ahead was still filled with corpses dead from poisoning.
Clearly, some managed to endure until exiting the poison zone, but eventually couldn’t avoid being corroded by the poison, meeting a tragic end.
"Phew—"
Ye Xuan let out a heavy breath, shedding the meaningless sentiment, quickening his pace.
He could feel that this Li Gate passage was nearing its end, and the Miracle Medicine Fragment that Lou Yaoyao held in her little glass bottle was reacting more and more frequently and intensely.
Yet, he hadn’t walked far.
Ye Xuan suddenly sensed that something was off with the Lou Yaoyao who was stuck to him.
Admittedly, during these few days, Lou Yaoyao was constantly clinging to Ye Xuan, but that kind of clinging was merely embracing, and now, Ye Xuan realized Lou Yaoyao seemed to have turned into a puddle, leaning weakly against him.
"What the heck?" Ye Xuan’s heart skipped a beat, "Could this demoness be harboring ill intentions in this kind of setting? All those corpses... does it have to be this thrilling?"
Ye Xuan was terrified.
It’s often said that when a woman isn’t speaking, she’s preparing for battle.
Lou Yaoyao hadn’t spoken for quite a while!
No, it can’t be!
I must remain faithful for my wife!
Ye Xuan decided to resist strongly, directly pushing Lou Yaoyao away from him and sternly saying, "Lou Yaoyao, don’t push your luck..."
Ye Xuan hadn’t finished speaking.
Boom!
Lou Yaoyao directly fell onto the ground like a scam victim.
Ye Xuan immediately felt a bit dumbfounded.
Lou Yaoyao, what kind of pose is this? What are you trying to pull?
The next moment.
Ye Xuan’s expression changed dramatically.
Because he realized that this Lou Yaoyao was no longer the Lou Yaoyao from half an hour ago!
Her exquisite face was pale as paper, her white, smooth forehead had a dark blue hue appearing faintly, her lips, fingertips, and even the veins throughout her body were changing color.
Lou Yaoyao was poisoned!
"This..."
Ye Xuan’s pupils contracted slightly, feeling extreme horror.
Just now passing through that poison-covered area, Lou Yaoyao’s reaction was very sharp; she activated her Qi Gong Protection immediately, but unexpectedly, she still got poisoned!
The incredible poison in the air turned out to be beyond even Qi Gong’s defense?
"Little... little brother..."
Weakly collapsed on the ground, Lou Yaoyao still seemed to retain some consciousness, looking at Ye Xuan with ultimate weakness, calling out in a voice as faint as a mosquito.
Ye Xuan snapped back to reality.
With great effort, Lou Yaoyao clutched the little glass bottle in her hand, gritting her teeth, "I... I’m afraid I can’t continue with you, take the Miracle Medicine Fragment and find the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus yourself."
Ye Xuan was taken aback, his face blank.
Looking at Lou Yaoyao’s small bottle, Ye Xuan’s heart was incredibly conflicted.
These past few days, he has constantly been troubled by Lou Yaoyao. Her identity and outrageous actions left Ye Xuan without a moment of peace.
And now, Lou Yaoyao is poisoned, losing her former high combat ability. Ye Xuan could easily eliminate her with a flick of a finger and take the Miracle Medicine Fragment.
Indeed, Ye Xuan should do this.
After all, Lou Yaoyao is Lou Xinyu’s biological sister, with countless reasons to become Ye Xuan’s mortal enemy, and none to become his friend.
Killing her would allow Ye Xuan to wholeheartedly pursue the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus and avoid a future threat.
But...
"Just consider me a fool."
Ye Xuan bit his jaw, directly stepping forward to cradle Lou Yaoyao’s weak frame, then quickly rushed to an area entirely devoid of poison gas.
Then.
Tear!
Ye Xuan rudely tore apart Lou Yaoyao’s sleeves, revealing a slender arm as white as jade, yet with a few dark veins showing.
Next, Ye Xuan took out the silver needles he carried, disregarding disinfection, performing Miracle Healing, the needle flickered, bewildering to the eye.
One by one, the silver needles were inserted into vital acupuncture points on Lou Yaoyao’s body.
And lying on the ground, letting Ye Xuan have his way, Lou Yaoyao stared at Ye Xuan with beautiful eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.
Moreover, faintly, there was a trace of special complex emotions flowing in her eyes.
As if unable to believe that the man before her would choose to save her...
