Long Fei Ye's eyes flashed with admiration that even he himself didn't realize. He took out the money pouch and threw it to Han Yunxi. However, Han Yunxi threw it back and said seriously, "It's not too late to accept it when you see the poison."
She was a little woman who loved money but wasn't greedy.
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything and just turned to leave. Han Yunxi hurriedly followed him out.
Oh my! The wind outside was so strong. It was more than twice as cold as the room! Long Fei Ye walked very quickly. Han Yunxi trotted behind him, thinking that they could take a carriage after they got out of the door, right?
But who knew that Long Fei Ye would stop at the entrance of Hibiscus Courtyard.
Han Yunxi hid behind him to avoid the wind. She shivered and asked, "What's wrong?"
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye turned around and opened his arms to raise his large cloak. He said coldly and domineeringly, "Come in."
The wind made his cloak flutter. In the dark night, his features were cold and resolute. His brows were sharp like knives. He was like a god of darkness, looking down at her from high above.
Han Yunxi was stunned. She didn't understand what this meant.
Long Fei Ye didn't have that much patience. He reached out and pulled her into his embrace, placing her under his arm. His hand closed, and the large cloak wrapped around her tightly, blocking the invasion of the cold wind.
In that instant, Han Yunxi's heart thumped and sped up. She panicked …
Oh my god! His body was so warm and exuded the mesmerizing scent of ambergris. Was this what it felt like to be under the wings of an angel? It was so warm!
Before Han Yunxi could recover her wits, Long Feiye had already wrapped his arms around her. With a light tap of his feet, they flew towards the northwest of the capital city …
Han Yunxi wrapped herself in a cloak and snuggled into Long Fei Ye's warm embrace. She followed Long Fei Ye as they flew through the air. Their speed was even faster than riding a horse!
In the dark night, other than the occasional flickering lights, she couldn't see anything clearly. She didn't know where he was taking her, but she was very relieved.
Although her body was warm, the wind blowing against her face was cold and sharp like a knife. Soon, Han Yunxi couldn't stand it anymore.
She turned her face sideways and lowered her head, but she couldn't avoid it. In the end, she had no choice but to carefully turn her body sideways.
She moved a little. Seeing that Long Fei Ye did not respond, she became bolder. She stretched her arms behind him and leaned to the side, burying her head in his body.
This time, she was finally completely warm.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't nervous. She stiffened for a while. Seeing that Long Fei Ye didn't have any objections, she slowly relaxed and enjoyed the warmth.
Long Feiye kept his eyes forward as he maintained his speed. Still, his lips had somehow curved into a curve as well, as if he disdained her cowardice. It was as if he was toying with her boldness, just like his deep, dark eyes, mysterious and enchanting. It was hard to fathom what he was thinking.
He led her over walls and over mountains. She could only feel the wind whizzing past her. She was oblivious to everything around her. Unknowingly, she became sleepy and fell into a daze.
It wasn't until Long Fei Ye brought her down and stood on the ground that she woke up. She poked her head out of his embrace and found herself on a high cliff. It was early in the morning.
Long Fei Ye looked down. "You can let go now."
Uh … She was stunned. Only then did she realize that this guy had let go of her a long time ago. Her hands had hugged his waist from behind!
Han Yunxi blushed. As if she had been electrocuted, she hurriedly retracted her arms and struggled out of his wide cloak.
The moment she left his protection, the cold attacked her from all directions. However, Han Yunxi still felt that her face was very, very hot.
She didn't look at him and tried her best to ignore the awkwardness. She said mildly, "What are we doing here?"
Long Fei Ye looked at the sky and said, "Wait for another 15 minutes."
Strange. Why did this guy bring her here? Wasn't he here to cure the poison?
Would someone come in another 15 minutes?
Han Yunxi didn't ask any more questions. She looked around and realized that there were towering mountains and precipitous ridges around her. She couldn't tell where she was, and below the cliff was an abyss. The morning fog hadn't dispersed yet, so she couldn't see the bottom. The sun had already risen, and the white sky was dyed golden. It was a spectacular sight.
Han Yunxi hadn't seen the sunrise in a long time. She was lost in thought when a beeping sound suddenly sounded in her mind.
Poison?
Judging from the rhythm and volume of the beeping sound, this poison wasn't ordinary. It was very large!
Han Yunxi was alert. She turned to look at Long Fei Ye, who was also watching the sunrise. "There's poison nearby. What's going on?"
Long Fei Ye was a little surprised. "How did you know?"
"This poison is very strange. Tell me what's going on." Han Yunxi was serious.
At this moment, Long Fei Ye looked down at the abyss. "This abyss is filled with poisonous fog all year round. It sinks to the bottom of the abyss at night and floats up when the sun rises."
Han Yunxi was very surprised. She didn't expect that it wasn't humans or animals that were poisoned, but the air.
"Do you want to go down?" Han Yunxi asked.
"There's a spy from the Northern Li Country hiding below. He's good at using poison." Long Fei Ye said lightly.
So that's how it was. He came to capture people, but he was blocked by the poisonous fog and couldn't go down.
Han Yunxi watched the white fog slowly rising. Her beautiful eyebrows slowly knitted together. It seemed that things weren't as Long Fei Ye thought!
"Can you do it?" Long Fei Ye asked.
At this moment, a quarter of an hour was up. She saw a cloud of black gas faintly appear in the white fog. The alarm in Han Yunxi's head reached the highest level.
However, very quickly, the black gas drifted back into the valley and disappeared.
"See, this cloud of black gas is the most poisonous." Long Fei Ye said lightly.
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi said, "This isn't poisonous fog."
The poisonous fog that Long Fei Ye spoke of was actually miasma. It was the foul air of the mountains and forests, appearing at the end of spring and disappearing at the end of autumn. If there wasn't enough temperature, miasma wouldn't form.
Now that it was winter, even the places where the sun shone on the mountaintop were freezing to death, to say nothing of the shady valley.
"Then what is it?" Long Fei Ye was alarmed.
He had once sent a group of elite soldiers down there, but half of them died before they could find the person. Those who escaped said there was miasma down there, so it wasn't long before they all died of poison.
The spy hiding in the valley held important military secrets of Tianning Country in his hands. If he escaped, the consequences would be unthinkable.
He'd already chased after him for more than a month. Last time, he'd been poisoned because of that spy.
This spy was very treacherous. He'd waited until the last moment to use his poison skills. Before that, no one knew he could use poison.
Long Fei Ye had chased him all the way here, but the spy had hidden himself in the sealed valley and hadn't come out again.
"It should be a poisonous mosquito swarm."
Han Yunxi was surprised as well. She hadn't expected to run into something like this.
Many ancient texts had recorded that when a cloud of miasma floated past, people would die of poison. This cloud of miasma was then called miasma. But in reality, that black cloud of miasma wasn't real miasma, but a large number of mosquitoes flying together. The ancients mistook it for miasma.
These mosquitoes carried the bacteria of malignant malaria. If humans and animals were bitten by them, they'd be infected and die quickly. It was like being poisoned.
Under these conditions, it was impossible for a poisonous miasma to form, but it was very possible that there was a swarm of poisonous mosquitoes hidden in the valley fog.
"Poisonous mosquito swarm?" This was the first time Long Fei Ye had heard of this term.
"The white fog isn't poisonous. That cloud of black miasma is the poisonous mosquito swarm. When there's not enough light, it looks like black miasma, so you've all misunderstood." Han Yunxi explained seriously, then said, "Take me down. I have to get close to that cloud of black miasma to know what kind of poisonous mosquito it is."
In modern times, there were countless types of poisonous mosquitoes, not to mention in ancient times. Many of them had not gone extinct, so there were definitely more of them than in modern times.
Han Yunxi had to determine whether she could recognize them or not, and whether she could make an effective mosquito repellent.
After confirming that the white fog wasn't poisonous, everything was simple for Long Fei Ye. Without saying anything, he grabbed Han Yunxi's waist and jumped down.
As soon as they entered the valley, Han Yunxi's detoxification system detected the presence of poison. Soon, she determined the direction. "It's on the right." Long Fei Ye hugged her tightly and flew over in an instant. However, not long after, the detoxification system reminded them that there was poison on the left as well.
Could it be … that there was more than one swarm?
Han Yunxi was shocked. Who knew that at this time, the detoxification system's emergency warning came from above and below.
Heavens, above, below, left, and right. Was this the rhythm of surrounding them?
"We're surrounded." Han Yunxi whispered.
Before she could finish speaking, Long Fei Ye saw a black, fog-like thing rapidly encircling them from all directions.
Long Fei Ye didn't expect there to be four swarms, but he was very calm. How close do we have to be to detect the poison?
"Hurry up and leave, it's too dangerous! They're very fast. "Han Yunxi made a prompt decision to escape.
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye coldly said, "Answer this prince's question."
"Ten steps, ten steps away. I can determine what poison it is!" Han Yunxi answered truthfully.
Ten steps. Based on the current speed of the poisonous mosquito swarm, after ten steps, they would be able to reach them in an instant. Moreover, they were surrounded from above, below, left, and right.
In other words, when the poisonous mosquito swarm was ten steps away from them, they would be submerged in the black fog in an instant.
Han Yunxi didn't even dare to think about it. She still didn't know what kind of poison the poisonous mosquito swarm carried, and she wasn't sure if she could neutralize it. Moreover, if she was poisoned, what would she do?
Just as she was feeling nervous, Long Fei Ye only said two words, "Wait."
"No!" Han Yunxi shouted. She watched as the poisonous mosquito swarm came closer and closer. She seemed to be able to hear that terrifying and annoying buzzing sound.
"Prepare to be tested." Long Fei Ye tyrannically ordered.
This wasn't an ordinary poison, but a poisonous mosquito swarm. Four large swarms of poisonous mosquito swarm. Being swept by them was more terrifying than being galloped by a large herd of antelopes. They would be covered in cuts and bruises.
Han Yunxi admitted that she was timid. She shouted, "No, I'm scared!"
However, Long Fei Ye suddenly pulled her into his arms and coldly said, "With this prince here, you're not allowed to be scared!"
So domineering! So domineering!
Han Yunxi hated arrogant, overbearing, and unreasonable men the most. However, at this moment, she didn't feel any disgust at all. Her heart thumped wildly, and she calmed down for no reason.
This man's domineering aura gave people a sense of security.
At this moment, the poisonous mosquito swarm from above, below, left, and right approached at the same time.
"Are you ready?" Long Fei Ye asked in a low voice.
After calming down, Han Yunxi brought out her professional standards and fully activated the scanning system. She constantly paid attention to the movements of the black swarm in all four directions. She also said in a low voice, "Ready."
