An arrow pierced through the python's mouth, completely taking care of it.
Long Fei Ye watched as the python rolled over and stopped moving, no longer spitting out white poison mist. Only then did he put away his crossbow in satisfaction.
At this time, a certain timid woman was still hanging in his arms, completely unaware of everything that had happened.
His lips curved in a shallow arc. With his hands behind his back, he gently flew down and landed beside the python.
"You can let go now."
When the ice-cold voice sounded from the sky, Han Yunxi finally recovered from her fright. She discovered that her feet had already touched the ground. She subconsciously raised her head and met a certain person's heartless gaze. She immediately let go as if she had been electrocuted.
Long Fei Ye ignored her and pulled out his dagger to retrieve the snake core.
Han Yunxi lightly coughed a few times and acted as if nothing had happened as she watched from the side. She only saw him move quickly and nimbly, taking out a pellet-sized snake core in no time.
With this snake core, it was equivalent to having the Life Blood Pill. They had more than half succeeded.
Han Yunxi composed herself and took out her golden needle to collect the python's blood. This kind of rare poison, of course she had to bring it back to properly study it.
"What are you doing?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"Nothing." Han Yunxi's face was taut and her tone was even colder. She didn't want to talk to him anymore for the time being.
"Coward." Long Fei Ye spat.
Han Yunxi angrily clenched her fists, but she only pretended not to hear it.
After collecting the blood, she said, "Now that you've obtained the snake core, I'm no longer of any use to you. I want to go back."
Long Fei Ye was slightly stunned, but he didn't urge her to stay. He Coldly said, "Let's go. This prince will bring you out of the valley."
Thus, the two of them silently walked back the way they came.
Helplessly, when they reached the valley, they discovered that the carriage and coachman had been poisoned to death. No one could protect her back.
Han Yunxi secretly rejoiced in her heart, thinking, "Let's see what you plan to do with this trouble of mine now! Who told you to look for trouble again! "
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye gave her two choices. "Either you walk back by yourself, or you come with me."
After he finished speaking, he didn't give Han Yunxi any time to think. He turned around and went back into the valley.
Han Yunxi cherished her life very much. There were a lot of robbers along the way, and it was very dangerous. She didn't dare to go back alone. Most importantly, she didn't know the way!
While she was still hesitating, that guy's back view was already very far away.
Are you serious?
Han Yunxi panicked and quickly chased after him while shouting.
"Hey! Long Fei Ye, you're too much! "
"Stop right there, Long Fei Ye!"
"If you don't stop, I'll leave immediately!"
…
Long Fei Ye didn't stop when he heard her shouting. Instead, he walked faster and faster. The smile on his face grew wider and wider. Han Yunxi had no choice but to run.
Thus, the two of them, one in front and one behind, quickly passed through the valley.
Duanmu Yao lay weakly on a tall tree in the valley, blood still dripping from her lips. Long Fei Ye had used just the right amount of strength to heavily injure her so that she couldn't move, but it didn't take her life.
She was clearly as beautiful as a celestial fairy, but her phoenix eyes were as malicious as a witch's. Coldly, she watched the two figures disappear into the distance.
"Han Yunxi, you're really shameless. You actually dared to hug my senior brother!"
Duanmu Yao's maidservants were also in disbelief. The Duke of Qin, who was obsessed with cleanliness, actually allowed a woman to get close to him, and even hug him so tightly?
Could it be that they were mistaken?
"Slut, I'll definitely kill you." The more Duanmu Yao thought about it, the angrier she became. After all, she'd left the palace this time precisely because of Han Yunxi.
She advised in a low voice, "Princess, recuperating is more important."
"I won't! Let's see what he'll do if I die. How will he explain this to master?! "Duanmu Yao raged. Her anger aggravated her internal injuries, causing her to spit up a mouthful of blood.
"Princess, you know as well that the Duke of Qin hates being threatened. Why must you …"
Before the maidservant could finish, Duanmu Yao cut her off harshly. "Do I count as someone else in his eyes? He'd rather hurt me than save that woman's life? Since when has Han Yunxi been more important than this princess in his heart? "
"Princess, Han Yunxi is still Qin Wangfei appointed by the empress dowager. The Duke of Qin probably had no choice," the maidservant coaxed again.
Duanmu Yao laughed coldly. "As long as he's unwilling, there's nothing in this world that can't be forced."
Han Yunxi had married into the Duke of Qin's estate on the emperor's orders. But why did he leave that woman there?
She'd been waiting in silence for him to get rid of Han Yunxi since the wedding, but he didn't make a move. Instead, he kept her by his side.
They'd been martial brothers and junior sister for so many years, but when had he ever taken her out on a business trip?
Just what part of that useless, cowardly woman caught his eye?
The more she thought, the angrier she grew. "Qiu 'er, let's go to Tianning's capital city. I want to stay at the Duke of Qin's estate … to recuperate! "
"Princess, His Highness Crown Prince is still in Medicine Ghost Valley asking for medicine for esteemed empress. You should at least make a trip there," the maidservant reminded her urgently.
Duanmu Yao finally remembered and could only nod her head. It won't be too late to go to the capital after asking for the medicine, she mused.
By now, Han Yunxi was in Long Fei Ye's arms again as they flew through the air, weaving through the trees.
Although she'd given Long Fei Ye a cold look, she was once again curious about the white-robed woman. Still, she couldn't guess her intentions.
As expected, curiosity killed the cat. After a long struggle, Han Yunxi couldn't help but ask, "Hey, who was that white-robed woman just then?"
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye pretended not to hear her question. He stared straight ahead with an expressionless face.
Han Yunxi rolled her eyes as she lost all interest in the matter.
After a day's rush, they arrived at Medicine Ghost Valley early the next morning.
As soon as they entered the valley, Han Yunxi caught a whiff of the various fragrances of medicinal plants. Heaven knows how many medicinal ingredients were planted here, but it was truly a miraculous place.
Soon, they arrived at the real entrance. They saw a gate made of vines and two medicine boys guarding it. There were two groups of people in front of the gate. One group was lining up, and the other group was all kneeling.
It looked like the people in line were here to buy medicine, while the kneeling ones were here to beg for it.
Han Yunxi and the others watched for a while, only to see the people in line chatting with an old steward for a while. They were all dejected and joined the kneeling line. It looked like they couldn't buy any medicinal ingredients.
Suddenly, the kneeling person rushed over and shouted, "Master Pill Fiend, I'm willing to pay ten million taels of gold for a stalk of Dragon Beard Grass. Please do me a favor! I'm waiting for the medicine to save my life! "
The old steward immediately walked over and angrily rebuked, "What are you shouting for! Is this a place where you can show off your wealth? Come, kick him out! "
"Steward Ming, how could this lowly one dare to show off his wealth? This lowly one has exhausted all of his family's property to beg for the medicine! Steward Ming, please do me a favor and inform your master! "That person hurriedly begged on his knees.
However, Steward Ming was unreasonable and waved his hand, ordering people to kick him out.
Han Yunxi frowned as she watched.
She knew how precious the Dragon Beard Grass was, but it wasn't worth ten million taels of gold! Moreover, he had already lost his family's fortune.
Seeing that person in tears and despair, Han Yunxi felt very uncomfortable. She really wanted to give him a stalk of Dragon Beard Grass. She just happened to have a few stalks in her detoxification system.
Unfortunately, looking at the hundreds of people in front of her, she gave up. She could help one person, but not all of them.
If she only helped one person in front of all the people in need, she wouldn't be seen as a good person. She would only be seen as a heartless villain like the Medicine Ghost Valley.
Moreover, they were here to ask for medicine, not to cause trouble.
At this time, Steward Ming saw them and came over, gesturing. "Hey, hey, you two. I'm talking about you two. What are you standing there for? Don't you know the rules? Why aren't you lining up? "
Long Fei Ye looked over and ordered Coldly, "You, come here."
Steward Ming was stunned, then his face was filled with disbelief. "What did you say?"
"I told you to come here. Don't you understand human language?" Long Fei Ye retorted.
Steward Ming was immediately enraged and rushed over. He could tell at a glance that Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had extraordinary auras. They were either rich or respectable. However, there were many influential people who came to the Medicine Ghost Valley to ask for medicine. He had seen even more respectable people, but he had never seen anyone so arrogant!
He looked at Long Fei Ye with disdain. "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that. You want medicine? Haha, don't even think about it!"
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up. He said coldly, "Go tell Gu Qi Sha that Long Fei Ye has brought a poisonous python pill. Ask him if he wants to trade."
Steward Ming was almost choked to death. As soon as he heard the words "Long Fei Ye," his eyes widened. When he heard the words "poisonous python pill," he nodded furiously.
Only then did Long Fei Ye release him. The old steward didn't even report his arrival, but said respectfully, "I didn't know it was Your Highness Duke of Qin. If I've offended you, please forgive me. Your Highness Duke of Qin, please wait a moment. This one will immediately go report."
Han Yunxi was startled on the side. Only now did she realize that the words "Long Fei Ye" were useful not only in Tianning's capital city, but outside as well.
There had to be a reason why Tianning's emperor feared Long Fei Ye.
Soon enough, the old steward scrambled out of the courtyard like a lackey. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, His Excellency Pill Fiend invites you in. Please follow this one!"
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi climbed into the carriage as soon as they passed through the rattan gates. As they sped along, Han Yunxi discovered that all the plants within the gates were actually medicinal ingredients. Moreover, the deeper they went, the more precious the plants became.
Good heavens, Gu Qi Sha might not have any medical ethics, but he's definitely a rare talent!
Soon enough, the carriage stopped in front of an elegant courtyard by a stream. Steward Ming didn't follow them inside, but announced, "His Highness Duke of Qin has arrived."
Very soon, a strange, slow voice drifted out of the room. It was so strange that it didn't seem to come from a human. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, you've brought a poisonous python pill on your first visit. What should this excellency give you in exchange?"
"The Life Blood Pill," Long Fei Ye replied.
Silence fell upon the room at his words.
After a long time, the strange, androgynous voice spoke again. "You two … come in."
Han Yunxi felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard the strange voice. She followed Long Fei Ye into the room.
When she saw the person inside, Han Yunxi felt another layer of goosebumps all over her body. Sitting in the main seat was a tall man dressed in black. His black robes covered his entire body, and even his head was covered by a large black hood. From afar, he looked like a faceless person.
This was the ghost genius, Gu Qi Sha.
Han Yunxi originally thought that he was an old man, but now she couldn't even guess his age. Even his gender was a blur.
Han Yunxi was curious, but Long Fei Ye wasn't. He asked Long Fei Ye coldly, "Gu Qi Sha, do you want to make the exchange?"
"Ai …" Gu Qi Sha let out a long sigh. "Unfortunately, someone brought the Seven Stars Caterpillar Grass and also wants to exchange it for the Life Blood Pill. These are two things that this excellency has been dreaming of for a long time. How do you expect this excellency to choose?"
