For the entire afternoon, Duanmu Baiye had been urging Han Yunxi to hurry up and find the wall-hitting ghost. Now that things had reached a point of no return, he would rather lose early than let Yao Yao foolishly search outside.
But Han Yunxi wasn't in a hurry. At this time, she was sitting at the stone table with Long Fei Ye, drinking tea and eating snacks.
Long Fei Ye lifted his robe and sat casually, his entire body emitting a cold and domineering aura as if he was the master of this courtyard. Han Yunxi propped up her head with one hand and held a teacup with the other, looking especially relaxed.
Regarding the wall-hitting ghost, she didn't say anything and Long Fei Ye also didn't ask anything. However, he had to admit that this woman once again gave him a surprise, a surprise that could even be called a pleasant surprise.
For no reason, he actually firmly believed that she would be able to find the wall-hitting ghost.
Long Fei Ye inadvertently raised his eyes to look at Han Yunxi, his deep and cold eyes flashing with a hint of recognition that even he himself didn't notice.
This was the first time he acknowledged a woman like this.
How many more skills did this woman have that he didn't know about?
Finally, the sky was completely dark, but Duanmu Yao still hadn't returned.
Duanmu Baiye couldn't bear it anymore and strode in front of Han Yunxi. "Qin Wangfei, since you've already found the wall-hitting ghost, then show it to avoid wasting everyone's time."
With Han Yunxi's relaxed appearance, only a ghost would believe that she hadn't found the wall-hitting ghost. If she dragged on like this, it was undoubtedly purposely tormenting Yao Yao!
Lord Pill Fiend's eyes lit up and a trace of complexity flashed through his eyes. He hoped that Han Yunxi could find the wall-hitting ghost to amaze him, but at the same time, he didn't want the question that he had carefully set to be solved so easily. Of course, what he hated the most was that he couldn't make Long Fei Ye suffer.
Han Yunxi raised her eyebrows and looked at Duanmu Baiye, saying seriously, "Crown Prince Ye thinks too highly of me. From what I know, the wall-hitting ghost is very strange. Only one can grow on a mountain, or else all of them will die. This valley is so big, and His Excellency Pill Fiend also said that there was only one medicinal herb. It really isn't easy to find. How could I find it so quickly? "
Hearing Han Yunxi's words, His Excellency Pill Fiend's eyes revealed a look of appreciation. At this point, he couldn't help but admire this woman. She even knew about the Ghost Labyrinth's habits. It seemed that she was a very knowledgeable fellow.
She was young and a woman at that. She wasn't simple at all!
His Excellency Pill Fiend looked at Han Yunxi. As he looked, his eyes gradually narrowed, and admiration gradually replaced the original hostility.
However, Han Yunxi's words were a form of mockery to Duanmu Baiye.
His Excellency Pill Fiend had just said that there was only one Wall-Hitting Ghost. Han Yunxi's emphasis was undoubtedly hinting to Duanmu Baiye that she was doing it on purpose. Wasn't Duanmu Yao's speed very fast? She might as well take a few more laps outside. In any case, it was already dark and she didn't want to leave for the time being.
Duanmu Baiye clenched his fist so tightly that it made cracking sounds. If it was Han Yunxi's man, he would definitely throw a punch at him!
If Han Yunxi delayed in the courtyard for a day, Yao Yao would have to work hard for a day. If she delayed for a month, Yao Yao would have to work hard for a month, or even a year …
Yao Yao was completely passive!
How Duanmu Baiye hoped that Yao Yao would be enlightened and come back to the courtyard to search. Compared to searching all over the valley, searching in such a small courtyard was simply too easy.
However, even he himself didn't believe that Yao Yao would be enlightened and come back. Firstly, Yao Yao wasn't that smart. Secondly, he knew that girl's temperament. If she didn't find a single medicinal herb, she wouldn't come back because of her face.
Duanmu Baiye's heart was stifled with anger. He couldn't go down or up. The more he looked at Han Yunxi, the more his heart hurt. This crafty woman, what number one trash? What inability to recognize medicinal ingredients? It's all an act!
Time passed little by little. His Excellency Pill Fiend sent for dinner. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi both ate, but Duanmu Baiye didn't have the slightest appetite.
Yao Yao, ah, Yao Yao. Come back for a bit!
However, after an entire night, Duanmu Yao still hadn't returned. According to the old steward's report, Princess Changle had been seen flying all over the valley with a torch.
Hearing this, Han Yunxi laughed out loud in front of everyone, nearly causing Duanmu Baiye to vomit blood.
With Long Fei Ye watching over Duanmu Baiye, Han Yunxi was very relieved. She went to sleep early in the guest room. It had to be said that she made it so that even His Excellency Pill Fiend couldn't sleep. He accompanied Long Fei Ye to watch over Duanmu Baiye.
After the long journey, Han Yunxi slept especially deeply and soundly. The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, she lazily walked into the courtyard.
"Good morning." Han Yunxi was in a good mood and greeted everyone.
Long Fei Ye raised his brows and glanced at her, not saying anything. His Excellency Pill Fiend muttered to himself, not knowing what to say.
Duanmu Baiye narrowed his eyes and suddenly rushed in front of Han Yunxi. However, at almost the same time, Long Fei Ye also arrived in front of her, protecting her behind him. Cold eyes gazed at Duanmu Baiye, a trace of displeasure flashing through his sharp eyes.
Although she knew that Long Fei Ye was protecting her for the sake of the Life Blood Pill, Han Yunxi still felt a bit of warmth in her heart. At the very least, this proved that she was worthy of the protection of the number one King of the world.
"What exactly do you all want?" Duanmu Baiye finally exploded.
Although it was only one day and one night, his heart ached for his little sister. Yao Yao was a golden branch and jade leaf. Since childhood, she had been doted on by everyone. Even when she was training at her sect, she had never suffered such hardships!
What's more, this was basically Han Yunxi's scheme. Han Yunxi was here to laugh at them. The longer this dragged on, the more humiliating it would be for them.
This was the first time Duanmu Baiye had suffered in front of a woman. Such humiliation was unbearable!
"Crown Prince Ye, don't be impatient. I haven't found the third medicinal herb yet. If you can't wait, you can surrender. I won't stop you." Han Yunxi seriously suggested.
As soon as these words came out, Duanmu Baiye suddenly raised his hand and angrily said, "Han Yunxi, you!"
A trace of killing intent flashed through Long Fei Ye's eyes. He grabbed Duanmu Baiye's wrist and coldly said, "Qin Wangfei, you can't afford to be fierce."
Seeing Long Fei Ye's killing intent, Duanmu Baiye was shocked. He had known Long Fei Ye for so many years, but when had he ever seen Long Fei Ye so serious about a woman?
"Duke of Qin, don't tell me you really exchanged the Life Blood Pill for this woman!" Duanmu Baiye probed.
Long Fei Ye fiercely pushed him away and pushed him to the side of the wall. He coldly replied, "It has nothing to do with you. Either surrender or wait on the side."
Duanmu Baiye clenched his fists until they cracked, but he had no choice but to continue waiting.
Soon, half a day passed. Han Yunxi basked in the sun while drinking tea. From time to time, she would look at Duanmu Baiye with a smile that wasn't a smile, full of provocation.
Duanmu Baiye was already angry, so how could he withstand Han Yunxi's provocation? He had been proud his entire life, but this was the first time a woman had looked at him like this.
How could he tolerate this?
Finally, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He stood up and hatefully said, "Lord Pill Fiend, we surrender. Immediately call Yaoyao back!"
Surrender …
Lord Pill Fiend dug his ears and loudly said, "What? What did Crown Prince Ye say? This lord didn't hear it. "
When had Duanmu Baiye, the Bloodthirsty Crown Prince, ever been so sullen? When had he ever admitted defeat so easily?
"We surrender. If you want the Seven Stars Caterpillar Grass, then immediately call Yaoyao back!" Duanmu Baiye's anger overflowed to the heavens. His voice was so gloomy that it seemed to come from the underworld.
A trace of disdain flashed through the depths of Pill Fiend's eyes. He immediately ordered, "Someone, go bring Princess Changle back!"
Duanmu Baiye didn't even want to look at Han Yunxi. Lifting his robe, he sat to the side, his face dark.
Han Yunxi was overjoyed. She looked towards Long Fei Ye with a smile, not avoiding the taboo of angering Duanmu Baiye. Natural and unrestrained, she loudly said, "Long Fei Ye, I won!"
Han Yunxi's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. Her entire being radiated with a threatening radiance. This radiance caused Long Fei Ye's gaze to be fixed on her face, not moving away for a long time.
Seeing that Long Fei Ye was expressionless and had no reaction, Han Yunxi raised two fingers and made a "V" sign. Her smile became even more brilliant. "Hey, we won!"
Long Fei Ye pulled at the corners of his mouth. It was unknown whether or not he was smiling. In short, it was very stiff. Han Yunxi really wanted to roll her eyes. Thinking about it, she decided to forget it. This large block of ice was born with facial paralysis. She was already used to it.
Duanmu Baiye was originally anxious. Hearing that Han Yunxi was so happy, he was unable to restrain his anger. Originally, he didn't want to look at her, but at this moment, he was fiercely glaring at her. If that gaze could kill, Han Yunxi would have been annihilated long ago.
On the other hand, Pill Fiend faintly stared at Long Fei Ye. If it weren't for Han Yunxi's competition, he definitely wouldn't have allowed Long Fei Ye to take away the Life Blood Pill so easily.
Where had this fellow found such an extraordinary woman? If she could stay in Medicine Ghost Valley, it would be a good choice.
Soon, Duanmu Yao was brought back. Her entire person was much dimmer. Her long hair was disheveled, and her originally spotless white dress was speckled with dirt. She probably hadn't slept for the entire night. Her eyes were bloodshot and revealed an unconcealable exhaustion.
The person who brought her back didn't tell her what happened. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw that Han Yunxi was also there. Duanmu Yao immediately perked up and sneered, "What, Han Yunxi, are you going to admit defeat?"
Don't mention three herbs, this woman definitely couldn't find even one. If she didn't admit defeat, why did they bring her back?
Han Yunxi didn't say anything. She looked at her up and down with great interest.
Duanmu Baiye was distressed for his sister and angry. He pulled Duanmu Yao over and said unhappily, "Take out the Seven Stars Caterpillar Grass."
When these words came out, Duanmu Yao was stunned. "What?"
"They won. Take it out." Duanmu Baiye's expression darkened even more.
Duanmu Yao was stunned again, then angrily said, "Impossible! How did they win? Where's the item? "
Although she knew that her imperial brother wouldn't lie to her, she still couldn't believe it. This was too sudden!
"It was your imperial brother who admitted defeat to Lord Pill Fiend. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lord Pill Fiend." Han Yunxi smiled innocently.
Duanmu Yao abruptly looked at Lord Pill Fiend. Seeing Lord Pill Fiend nod, she inconceivably retreated a few steps. She then grabbed Duanmu Baiye's collar and angrily questioned, "Who told you to admit defeat? Who told you to admit defeat?"
Duanmu Baiye was a dignified crown prince, yet he didn't get angry when his sister grabbed his collar like this. Instead, he looked distressed for her and explained in a low voice.
However, before Duanmu Yao could finish listening, she was already furious. Obtaining the Life Blood Pill was one thing, but losing face was another. How could she lose to Han Yunxi? And in front of her senior brother!
"Where's the item? This princess wants to see it for herself!"
Duanmu Yao was extremely furious. She rushed in front of Han Yunxi, and even Duanmu Baiye couldn't stop her.
Han Yunxi was very willing to enlighten her. She pointed at the Seven Deaths Hawktails and Shan Bai Yimi in the courtyard for Duanmu Yao to see. Duanmu Yao was surprised. After a while, she came back to her senses and realized how stupid she had been.
