"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
Streaks of sharp arrows flew over from all directions like a torrential rain. Long Fei Ye hugged Han Yunxi tightly in his arms as his figure dodged the rain of arrows like a shadow.
It wasn't easy to escape in such a short period of time but it wasn't that easy to injure Long Fei Ye with just the encirclement of sharp arrows.
If it was in the past, Han Yunxi would definitely be afraid but after witnessing this fellow's valiance, Han Yunxi had long relaxed her heart. She carefully poked her head out from Long Fei Ye's arms and sneakily looked at the poison pool below. Very quickly, she concentrated and entered a state of mind.
Under a state of high concentration, she could retrieve poison from the detoxification system. Similarly, she could also store poison into the detoxification system. Just that storing it required more effort than retrieving it.
Once Han Yunxi entered a state of mind, she gradually forgot about the surrounding dangers and allowed Long Fei Ye to dodge and defend against the sharp arrows. She devoted all her attention to the poison pool.
In the end, she couldn't even hear what was happening around her. In her eyes, the only thing left in the world was the poison pool below …
The rain of arrows gradually became sparse and Long Fei Ye took the opportunity to escape. However, at this moment, a shocked cry came from below, "The poison pool has disappeared! It's gone! "
Long Fei Ye turned sideways to dodge the sharp arrows and looked down. He was shocked to see that the forbidden poison pool which was originally filled with poisonous herbs was now empty. Not only that, even the water in the poison pool had disappeared!
This …..
Below, that lean old man and the rest were all stunned. Long Fei Ye was also extremely shocked. But he only took one look and didn't stay for long before he left.
Not knowing how long that bunch of guards were shocked, Long Fei Ye still couldn't believe what he had seen with his own eyes after he left the Medicinal Herb Forest.
"Did you see the poison pool?"
As he asked, he was about to let go of Han Yunxi but who knew that at this moment, he realised that Han Yunxi had fainted in his arms.
When did she faint?
Fainted from fright?
This woman shouldn't be so weak, right?
Long Fei Ye was bewildered. Worry flashed through his eyes, and he immediately brought Han Yunxi back to the Wang family. Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi didn't wake up from her coma.
Wang Gong sought out all the doctors in Medicine City, but no one could diagnose what was wrong with Han Yunxi.
There was no illness, pain, or injury, and his pulse was normal. He was just a little tired, but he shouldn't have been unconscious for so many days.
As for being poisoned, Long Fei Ye did not believe that this woman would be poisoned and not wake up.
In the past few days, the three clans of Alchemy City held several secret meetings to discuss the matter of the forbidden poison pond in the Medicine Forest. Long Fei Ye wasn't mistaken that night. The poisonous herbs and water in the pond had indeed disappeared into thin air.
Wang Gong went there personally and saw that the poison pool was empty.
"Duke of Qin, this matter … is truly strange." Wang Gong stroked his beard and sighed.
Since the Mu family had colluded with the Sangfroid King, they must have known that Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had barged into the forbidden area. Wang Gong didn't expose the fact that the Mu family had colluded with the Sangfroid King to use the poison pond, and the Mu family didn't know about the relationship between Long Fei Ye and Wang Gong. They only said that there were two masked men who had barged in that night. As for their identities, they didn't disclose it.
The three clans increased the security of the Medicine Forest. As for the matter of the forbidden pond, they said they would investigate it together. However, they didn't have a single clue. Who knew what they would find in the end?
"It's good that it disappeared, so this prince won't have to waste the effort to destroy it."
The forbidden poison pond was Medicine City's most precious treasure, but Long Fei Ye didn't hold back in front of Wang Gong.
Wang Gong knew the gravity of the situation. If the poison pond really fell into the hands of the Sangfroid King, then one day, not to mention the Wang family, even Medicine City might not be safe. Wang Gong nodded in agreement.
"There's something fishy about this matter. I'm afraid we'll have to send more people and keep a close eye on it to prevent any more unforeseen events," Long Fei Ye said seriously.
Wang Gong nodded in understanding. The forbidden poison pond had always been full of mystery. Now that it had disappeared into thin air, who knew when it would appear again? It definitely couldn't be underestimated.
Just as they were talking, a servant girl's surprised voice suddenly rang out from inside the room. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, Your Highness Duke of Qin, esteemed wangfei is awake! She's awake! "
Long Fei Ye was overjoyed. He immediately stood up and left. He was usually calm and collected, but this time, his surprise was written all over his face. Wang Gong couldn't believe his eyes as he watched that hurried figure leave. In fact, it was already surprising that someone as cold as the Duke of Qin could bring Qin Wangfei out.
In the inner room, Han Yunxi had just opened her eyes. Her head was still dizzy and her limbs were weak. She felt like she was about to collapse.
She knew that she had to sleep for a long time, but she didn't know how long she had slept.
What was this place?
Just as she was about to ask the servant girl beside her, a familiar voice rang out. It was cold and domineering as usual, but there was a trace of pleasant surprise in it that anyone could hear. "Han Yunxi, you're finally awake?"
Unfortunately, the dizzy Han Yunxi didn't hear it. Soon, Long Fei Ye's handsome face that angered both men and gods appeared in front of her.
Han Yunxi grinned and smiled with a pale face. "Your Highness, we've escaped."
Long Fei Ye had just rushed over like an arrow, but when he arrived, he suddenly felt at a loss as he stood by the bed and looked at Han Yunxi. He only faintly replied with an "En" and sat down on the edge of the bed.
The servant girl immediately poured warm water and respectfully handed it to Long Fei Ye. Long Fei Ye casually took it, but after taking it, he didn't know what to do.
"Your Highness, Wangfei hasn't had a drop of water for the past few days. She needs to drink some warm water before eating. This servant will go and bring some millet porridge over." The servant girl hurriedly retreated as she spoke.
Feed her water …
Long Feiye didn't reply, but he quickly helped Han Yunxi up so that she was leaning against his arm. Then he held the water to her lips.
His movements were very unfamiliar, as if it was his first time serving a patient like this. However, his arms were very strong and steady.
Han Yunxi was still dizzy. After sleeping for so many days, she was thirsty and hungry. When she saw the warm water, her heart burned with anxiety. She immediately gulped it down, but after a few mouthfuls, she choked. "Pfft … cough cough …"
With this choking and spitting, she immediately spat out a mouthful of saliva onto Long Fei Ye's hand.
Seeing this, Han Yunxi immediately shut her mouth. She was instantly clear-headed. Although her throat hurt so much that she wanted to cough, she still made muffled sounds. Her face was deathly pale.
One had to know that the most honorable His Highness Duke of Qin had mysophobia! And it was a serious case of mysophobia!
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye put down the cup and hurriedly had Han Yunxi lower her head. He patted Han Yunxi's back and said unhappily, "Cough hard. Why are you holding it in? Do you want to die?"
Didn't he dislike it?
Han Yunxi couldn't hold it in and coughed heavily. After coughing for a long time, she finally coughed out the water stuck in her throat. Once her breathing was smooth, she had no more strength. She collapsed in Long Fei Ye's arms.
She was extremely weak. She looked at Long Fei Ye like a child who had done something wrong. She looked at him timidly and was about to apologize, but Long Fei Ye had her lean against the pillow and went to wash his hands.
Han Yunxi swallowed the words of apology that were about to come out of her mouth.
She silently looked at Long Fei Ye. She couldn't see his face, only his cold profile. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was a little disgusted. He washed for a long time and was very serious.
Actually, it was good enough that he didn't push her away on the spot. However, she didn't know why, but looking at Long Fei Ye so focused on washing his hands, Han Yunxi felt an indescribable sense of loss.
After wiping his hands clean and looking at his well-maintained hands, a complicated look flitted across Long Fei Ye's eyes. He poured another cup of water and asked Han Yunxi, "Drink some more?"
Han Yunxi shook her head. She didn't want to drink for the time being.
"Drink some more."
As Long Fei Ye spoke, he was about to pass the cup to her, but Han Yunxi instinctively reached out to take it. Both of them paused. Very quickly, Long Fei Ye passed the cup to Han Yunxi and said mildly, "No one's going to snatch it from you. Drink slowly."
"Oh." Han Yunxi responded and lowered her head to drink the water.
Both of them were silent. After a long time, Han Yunxi spoke up. "Just now … I dirtied you. I'm sorry."
Long Fei Ye responded with a faint "Mm" and didn't say anything else.
However, Han Yunxi felt annoyed for no reason. Even she didn't understand why. She had always been decisive, straightforward, and carefree. Why did she always feel like she couldn't let go in front of this man?
Was it because she had expectations and thoughts that she shouldn't have?
Just then, Long Fei Ye asked, "You were unconscious for three days and three nights. What happened? Did you faint from fright? "
With the change of topic, Han Yunxi felt much more at ease. She looked up and pretended to be shocked. "Three days and three nights?"
"What happened? Why did you faint? "Long Fei Ye asked again.
"I don't know either. I didn't dare to look up when I saw so many sharp arrows. I don't know why, but I felt a little uncomfortable breathing. After that, I don't remember what happened." Han Yunxi was especially serious.
In other words, he was hugging her too tightly and she fainted from suffocation?
Long Fei Ye stared straight at Han Yunxi. "That's it?"
Goodness, this guy wasn't so easy to fool. Han Yunxi stuttered. "Actually … Actually, when this concubine was suffocating, this concubine pushed Your Highness a few times. But Your Highness was busy dodging those sharp arrows and didn't notice. Your Highness's grip was too strong, so this concubine couldn't break free."
There wasn't any other meaning behind her words. She was saying that he was hugging her too tightly.
Hearing this, Long Fei Ye's gaze wasn't as wanton as before. Han Yunxi snickered inwardly. Was this considered taking liberties with the Duke of Qin?
She wouldn't admit it even if she was beaten to death. She wasn't that daring!
She struck while the iron was hot and said, "Your Highness, did this concubine really faint for three days and three nights? This concubine couldn't have contracted some strange illness, right? What did the doctor say? "
"Rest first. I'll have the doctor come take a look at you later." Long Fei Ye finally withdrew his scrutinizing gaze.
"Your Highness, then the matter of the forbidden area's poison pool … how should we deal with it?" Han Yunxi probed.
Long Fei Ye told her about the strange matter and the three great patrician families' arrangements.
"It's so strange! How could it be like this? "
Han Yunxi was inconceivable. She was very excited, but a trace of craftiness flashed through her eyes. She was probably the only one in the entire world who knew why it was like this!
"Your pool was strange in the first place. The three great patrician families couldn't explain it either. However, it's still a good thing that it's disappeared, "Long Fei Ye said indifferently.
If the pool water and poisonous herbs hadn't disappeared into thin air, he also wouldn't have known how to deal with them. After all, they were Medicine City's most precious treasures. Destroying them wasn't easy.
Han Yunxi nodded her head like she was pounding onions. She had done it without anyone noticing. No matter how capable the three great patrician families were, they definitely wouldn't be able to find the poison pool. Moreover, it was impossible for the pool to produce water again!
She wondered how His Highness, the Duke of Kang, would react when he found out that the new species he had painstakingly cultivated had been uprooted and pocketed by her.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and pretended to rest. In reality, her divine sense had secretly slipped into the detoxification system. Only when she saw that the poison pool water and poisonous herbs were all hidden inside did she relax.
Her trip to Medicine City this time really wasn't in vain. She didn't have enough energy to try to activate the detoxification system's program to analyze the poison water and poisonous herbs. However, since it was all in her bag, she wasn't in a hurry.
Han Yunxi didn't know how much of a surprise the poison water and poisonous herbs had brought her. Of course, this was a story for another time.
After resting for a day, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi finally returned to the inn. At this time, Gu had been looking for them until he was almost in despair.
