So this was the reason Han Yunxi had pushed Long Fei Ye away! In such an urgent situation, she had no choice at all. If she hadn't pushed him away just now, he would've been done for.
Long Fei Ye looked at the woman he doted on, paralyzed in front of him, but he was powerless to do anything about it. His deep eyes burned with anger, as if they would never be extinguished. The sword in his hand seemed to sense his anger, clanging loudly.
"Long Fei Ye, I beg you! I beg you! "Han Yunxi was on the verge of tears. She was afraid that if he acted impulsively, everything would be irreparable.
Baili Yuanlong and Baili Mingxiang were dumbstruck. They never expected this outcome. What reason did Baili Yuanlong have to suspect Han Yunxi?!
Han Yunxi's leg was broken! Broken!
The Snake Queen didn't pity anyone. Seeing that Han Yunxi was injured and Long Fei Ye wasn't moving, the cunning Snake Queen seemed to sense something. She turned around and attacked Han Yunxi with her tail.
At this moment, Baili Yuanlong flew over and pulled Han Yunxi away. He flew towards Long Fei Ye and yelled, "Mingxiang, go get reinforcements!"
Baili Mingxiang came to her senses and immediately flew up, shouting, "Xu Donglin! Xu Donglin! "
However, a venomous snake leaped out of the cliff and pounced on her. She screamed in fright and fell down. Only then did she realize that the venomous snakes that had been hanging on the Snake Queen's body had all climbed up the cliff.
Baili Mingxiang was afraid of snakes. She was very, very afraid. However, she resolutely flew up again.
By this time, the Snake Queen had already launched another attack. Baili Yuanlong's abilities were limited, and he couldn't escape far with Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye. He couldn't keep up after dodging two of the Snake Queen's attacks.
"Baili Yuanlong, take us to the right. No matter what, buy me the time needed to brew a cup of tea. Only then can I cure His Highness of the poison!" Han Yunxi could only rely on Baili Yuanlong even though she was filled with rage.
"I will definitely do it! This general will issue a military order! "Baili Yuanlong answered firmly.
He gritted his teeth and led Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi to avoid the attack of the snake's tail. He sent the two of them to the right corner of the poison cave.
"Baili Yuanlong, don't go too far. The Snake Queen doesn't dare to attack me with her poison, only her tail! If you stand behind me, you won't be poisoned! "Han Yunxi said.
"Alright!" Baili Yuanlong immediately agreed. He remembered how he had been so obedient to Han Yunxi back in the Commander-In-Chief's Manor!
He couldn't think about the past. Whenever he did, he would cry …
Han Yunxi didn't care how much time Baili Yuanlong could buy for her. She only had one thought in mind, which was to cure Long Fei Ye of the poison and save Long Fei Ye's life.
Everyone could only live if he lived. If something happened to him, who would live?
After giving Baili Yuanlong instructions, Han Yunxi turned around and met Long Fei Ye's cold eyes. They were filled with hostility, as if they wanted to destroy the world!
She was shocked and hurriedly grabbed his hand. "Ye, listen to me, okay? Calm down! I'm fine! Really! It's just … it's just a broken leg. It can be cured! "
She didn't even know if he would suddenly draw his sword and charge out. If that happened, his blood would rush to his head and all her efforts would be in vain.
Sure enough, Long Fei Ye retracted his sword. Han Yunxi hurriedly pressed it down. "Long Fei Ye, my life is in your hands! If your poison isn't cured, we'll all die! It's just a pair of legs. Are they worth both of our lives? "
"Long Fei Ye, I'm begging you!"
Han Yunxi didn't have time. To be precise, Long Fei Ye didn't have time.
Han Yunxi tugged at his belt with one hand to help him unbutton his shirt, while her other hand tightly pressed down on his hand for fear that he would use force.
Once his clothes were undone, she had to use both hands to perform acupuncture. However, he still stared at her kneeling legs, his murderous aura growing stronger and stronger.
Han Yunxi took his hand and pressed it against her heart. "Long Fei Ye, I need you to give me strength!"
With that, she let go of his hand and began to search for acupuncture points on his abdomen, forcing herself to concentrate.
Long Fei Ye pressed one hand on his sword and the other on Han Yunxi's heart. One hand was ruthless, the other soft. One hand was cold, and the other was warm.
His self-control had always been strong, but he had never been as impulsive as he was now. He wanted nothing more than to throw away his life to destroy the world!
He wanted to let go of Han Yunxi several times, but in the end, he couldn't bear to let her heartbeat go. He was on the verge of losing control.
Suddenly, he felt a chill in his abdomen. He looked down and saw that Han Yunxi was crying. Her tears were dripping onto his abdomen. Only then did he realize that her face, which had always been strong and calm, was now covered in tears.
Han Yunxi endured the pain in her legs as she performed acupuncture. She was worried about Long Fei Ye's impulsiveness and worried about whether Baili Yuanlong could stop the Snake Queen. She couldn't concentrate at all. Originally, she could have finished it in a short while, but now, she felt like she couldn't finish it.
She was about to break down!
Long Fei Ye finally recovered from his ruthlessness. How could he lose control at this time? How could he break down? Han Yunxi needed him!
No matter how powerful they were or how high their status was, there was one thing he would always surpass her in: the strength of his heart.
No matter what, his heart had to be stronger than hers. Only then would he be able to protect her!
He finally let go of his sword and rested his hands on her shoulders. "Yunxi, be good … it'll be fine!"
"Trust me, it'll definitely be fine."
Han Yunxi dearly wanted him to give her strength. Hearing his gentle voice calmed her heart. As long as he was calm, she could be calm as well.
She wiped away her tears and gathered her thoughts. Needle by needle, her movements were nimble and beautiful!
By now, Baili Yuanlong had already been swung around multiple times by the Snake Queen's tail. Although the blows landed on his chest and back, he used internal energy to protect his body and bones.
His sword had already been flung to one side and his body was riddled with internal injuries. He could only rely on his broken body to resist the Snake Queen's tail.
He mustered up all his strength and used all his internal energy to get into a horse stance behind Han Yunxi!
If the Snake Queen wanted to hurt Han Yunxi and the rest, it would have to hit him first.
There was a loud crash. The Snake Queen's tail came crashing down, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. Although he was on the verge of collapse, he grit his teeth and steadied himself.
Soon enough, there was another crash as the Snake Queen's tail came crashing down again. Baili Yuanlong's body swayed and almost fell backwards. Baili Yuanlong only felt the world spin before his vision turned pitch black. He simply closed his eyes and forgot everything before him, including the injuries on his body.
In his mind floated the image of Han Yunxi sparring with the head of one of the south central regions and fighting for power for the Baili Army. Back then, that girl had nothing to do with Western Qin. She was purely Qin Wangfei, the mistress he was proud of.
Bam … bam … bam!
The Snake Queen thrashed about madly, each blow harder and faster than the last. Baili Yuanlong's blood had already spilled onto the Snake Queen's tail.
He was already prepared to die here, so dying like this would be a peace of mind.
Just how long was the time it took to brew a cup of tea?
Baili Yuanlong didn't know how much time had passed. He only felt that his internal energy was about to run out and his legs were about to give out. His entire body leaned back uncontrollably.
"Esteemed wangfei, how long has it been?" he muttered to himself. He didn't even realize that he'd called her 'esteemed wangfei'.
If His Highness was only Tianning's Duke of Qin and Han Yunxi was only their esteemed wangfei, wouldn't everything be much simpler? He was a soldier who led troops into battle and killed enemies. If His Highness wasn't the one who gave him pointers, then it was the strategists who came up with strategies. More than anyone else, he wanted everything to be simple.
All of his daughters' marriages had been forced out of their own hands. His most beloved eldest daughter had concealed her identity and married off to the distant Northern Li. Even now, no one else in the Baili Army knew that there was actually an eldest young miss in the family. His youngest daughter, Mingxiang, had stayed by his side for the longest time, but she'd suffered the most.
All of this was for the sake of revenge and the revival of East Qin, ah!
What was wrong with him being on guard against Western Qin's princess? He'd already tacitly approved of His Highness's willfulness, so shouldn't he be on guard against her as well?
But now he didn't even know if he was right or wrong.
Just as Baili Yuanlong was about to fall to the ground, Xu Donglin caught him. He could faintly hear Xu Donglin say, "Someone come, send General Baili up first."
After that, he fell unconscious.
Baili Mingxiang had already reached the surface while Xu Donglin led 20 poison guards to rescue him. He'd long wanted to come down, but His Highness's orders prevented him from interfering with His Highness and the princess, so he could only endure. Baili Mingxiang hadn't even reached the top of the cave when he heard her shouts. He knew the situation wasn't good and immediately rushed down to rescue General Baili.
The princess was still helping His Highness detoxify the poison while he stood guard on one side. The 20 poison guards worked together to stop the snake queen and buy time for the princess.
At this moment, the Shadow Guard above the snake cave was transmitting true qi to the bloodied Baili Yuanlong to heal his wounds. Even so, fresh blood continued to flow from Baili Yuanlong's mouth. The Shadow Guards were starting to panic.
Baili Mingxiang fell to sit on the side, tears streaming down her face like a broken dam.
"Father … Father, you have to hold on!"
"Father, you said you'd personally lead troops to flatten Tianning and kill your way to Northern Li. You said you'd personally see His Highness ascend the throne!"
"Sob sob … Father, you promised the clansmen that once His Highness revived East Qin, you'd personally go into the water to salvage the skeletons of the merfolk soldiers! You promised that you would help them find their families and erect a monument for them! "
"Father, you can't die … you can't die …"
… …
After an indeterminate amount of time, Long Fei Ye's poison was successfully detoxified. The 20 merfolk soldiers and Xu Donglin protected Han Yunxi while Long Fei Ye killed the snake queen with his sword!
With nothing to worry about, he easily avoided the snake queen's poison gas under Han Yunxi's guidance. Within three moves, he'd split the snake queen into three parts with three slashes before killing off the rest of the snakes on the walls one by one.
He stood in front of Han Yunxi, hoping with all his might that Han Yunxi would stand up like before and wrap her arms around his neck. But Han Yunxi only sat paralyzed on the ground. He didn't dare examine her leg, afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Was it really … only broken?
Han Yunxi smiled at him, her face pale. "It's fine!"
He didn't say anything, only stared deeply at her without saying a word for a long time.
When facing each other, whose heart was stronger?
