Han Yunxi slowly opened her eyes, filled with bewilderment. Her consciousness wasn't clear at all.
This time, she didn't enter the poison storage space like before. Instead, she was completely exhausted and her mind was in a state of chaos. Still, she could sense Lil Thing's presence amidst the chaos. She could sense that it was much stronger than before.
She didn't know why, but she had a vague feeling that her own cultivation had improved as well.
"Yunxi …"
The familiar voice was very, very close.
Only then did Han Yunxi recover her wits and notice the face that was already right in front of her. This was the face she was most familiar with. She could imagine every detail of it even with her eyes closed.
"Yunxi, can you … answer me?" Long Fei Ye spoke carefully, afraid that Han Yunxi would fall asleep again if he spoke too loudly.
After all, he was already on the verge of collapse!
Han Yunxi had no idea how many days she'd been unconscious. She calmed herself down and reached out to stroke Long Fei Ye's stubble. "You …"
Before she could finish, Long Fei Ye suddenly grabbed her hands and pressed them against his face.
He gave her a deep look without a word before burying his head in her chest.
Han Yunxi wasn't sure if she was imagining things, but she felt as if this man was trembling. She suddenly realized that she must have been unconscious for a long time.
There were many things she could work hard and do her best to control. But there were some things she couldn't control no matter how hard she tried, much less stop them. For example, she couldn't completely understand and control the poison storage space. She didn't know when she'd succumb to cultivation deviation and never wake up again. She couldn't control whether she stayed or left. She didn't know why she'd come to Cloud Realm Continent, much less when she'd leave.
Both she and Long Fei Ye had always believed that she wouldn't leave. But that was just self-deception and mutual consolation.
"Long Fei Ye … I've made you worry again," she sighed, her voice soft and helpless.
Long Fei Ye looked up at her, wanting to say many things, but ended up hugging her tightly with a sigh. "You've made me afraid again. What should I do?"
Han Yunxi's heart ached at the sight of his bearded face, bloodshot eyes, and haggard, but when she heard his helpless sigh, she felt as if a large hand was clenching her heart. It was so stifling that she almost stopped breathing. It was an indescribable discomfort.
"It's fine … it's fine …"
"Ye … I'm already awake. It's all right."
Han Yunxi kept repeating these words as she hugged Long Feiye even tighter. It was as if if she hugged him tightly, she would own him and they would never separate again.
The two of them hugged each other, neither willing to let go. How they wished they could hug each other tightly for the rest of their lives.
Gu Beiyue had rushed over when he heard the commotion in the inner room. But at this moment, he was standing beside the screen, watching Han Yunxi and the others quietly.
He was very calm, but his clear eyes were filled with gentleness.
His gentleness towards Han Yunxi was a kind of pity, because he loved her.
His gentleness towards Long Fei Ye was a kind of empathetic pity, because he understood him.
He was like an outsider, but no one knew how deeply he immersed himself in the role and how deeply he loved her. But he was never lost.
He was very sober and immersed himself in the role.
He knew his position and his mission too well.
He waited for a while, looked at the sky, and decisively interrupted Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye, who were immersed in each other's arms.
He said, "Your Highness, since the princess is awake, please allow this subordinate to take her pulse."
At this moment, Long Fei Ye finally woke up. Even though he was reluctant, he still let go of Han Yunxi and made way for Gu Beiyue. He asked, "What's wrong with you? Is it the poison storage space? You've never been unconscious for so long before! "
"How long have I been unconscious?" Han Yunxi asked.
"We've already been in Da Central Garrison for three days," Long Fei Ye replied.
Han Yunxi estimated the time on the road and the time they'd been staying here. Even she was shocked. She immediately thought of the incident at Hundred Poisons Sect.
"What time is it today? Is it the agreed time? Is Bai Yanqing here? "She asked anxiously, unconsciously shaking her hand away so that Gu Beiyue couldn't take her pulse.
Long Fei Ye didn't take this matter to heart. He didn't answer Han Yunxi and immediately came forward. He pulled her hand down and pressed it against the headboard for Gu Beiyue to take her pulse.
Gu Beiyue took a closer look at Han Yunxi's complexion and could basically confirm that she was fine.
A helpless smile flitted across his lips, and he began to take Han Yunxi's pulse again.
Han Yunxi couldn't calm down and was burning with anxiety. "What time is it today? Gu Beiyue, tell me! "
"Am I …" She looked at Long Fei Ye in horror. "Is it because of me that this matter fell through? Is Bai Yanqing here? "
Long Fei Ye and Gu Beiyue didn't answer her. Long Fei Ye pressed his hands on her shoulders to prevent her from moving, while Gu Beiyue looked down and focused on taking her pulse.
"I'm fine, I can feel Lil Thing!"
"I'm really fine! This time it's different from before. It seems like Lil Thing is cultivating. I can feel it cultivating! Maybe … maybe it's affecting me! "
After confirming that her pulse was normal, Gu Beiyue spoke. He wasn't talking to Han Yunxi, but to Long Fei Ye. "Your Highness, the Princess's pulse is normal. There's nothing wrong with her body."
He was completely sure of this. As for the poison storage space, he wasn't sure.
Long Fei Ye's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally calmed down. He immediately asked, "What's wrong with Lil Thing? Why can you feel it? Where is it? "
Long Fei Ye had never been so concerned about Lil Thing!
Han Yunxi wasn't clear about some of the rules of the poison storage space. She didn't have a master. Her understanding of the poison storage space was either from her own exploration or from the secret manuals of the poison storage space.
When she advanced to the second level of the poison storage space, she could feel the rules of cultivation. However, this rule wasn't all the rules of the poison storage space, just the rules of cultivation.
"It's just a feeling. I don't know what's going on. Lil Thing's strength has recovered a lot. I … I seem to have improved a lot. It's just … it's very tiring. "Han Yunxi answered honestly.
"Could it be that the Princess and Lil Thing's cultivation is the same?" Gu Beiyue asked in shock.
Han Yunxi had her suspicions as well, so she nodded.
"What else can you feel? Is Lil Thing in Bai Yanqing's poison storage space? It can't escape? "Long Fei Ye had a lot of questions.
Han Yunxi shook her head, "I'm not sure. I can't feel Lil Thing at all. "
Gu Beiyue was also very curious. However, he didn't probe any further. Instead, he reminded, "Your Highness, Princess, there's less than two hours until the appointed time with Bai Yanqing. If we rush over now, we might still be able to make it."
Han Yunxi was shocked when she heard that. "Today?"
"Yes." Gu Beiyue nodded.
Han Yunxi got off the bed without another word. Long Fei Ye grabbed her hand. She mistakenly thought that he was going to stop her, so she was very agitated. "Long Fei Ye, you should know how important this matter is!"
Long Fei Ye wanted to explain, but Han Yunxi emphasized, "This matter is very, very important. No matter the price, we have to do it!"
She had already made up her mind a long time ago. How could she give up so easily?
Long Fei Ye didn't know what kind of decision she had made, but he could see her determination. He only thought that she was thinking for the sake of Eastern and Western Qin.
It wasn't easy for Eastern and Western Qin to work together. It wasn't easy for them to fight side by side openly. This was an opportunity that she couldn't give up so easily. Moreover, there were many people watching from Hundred Poisons Sect now. They were waiting for them to not appear, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.
He was frightened by Han Yunxi. He didn't want to care about any of this. Right now, all he wanted to do was to hug her and have a good sleep.
Even if he didn't appear today, he still had a way to deal with Hundred Poisons Sect afterwards.
However, he still obeyed Han Yunxi.
"Men, prepare the horses!"
After Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi hurriedly appeared, Xu Donglin delivered the latest news.
"Your Highness, Bai Yanqing is here!"
Xu Donglin also relayed Bai Yanqing's words when he was at the tower.
Gu Beiyue was no longer in his hands, but he was still so arrogant. Why?
Did he have an ulterior motive, or did the poison storage space level up and surpass Han Yunxi? So what if the poison storage space level up? Han Yunxi never intended to poison him to deal with him!
Han Yunxi's poison storage space was enough for defense. The one who really wanted to deal with him was Long Fei Ye.
With Bai Yanqing's intelligence, he wouldn't have thought of this.
Therefore, Bai Yanqing's high-profile appearance must have an ulterior motive!
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye discussed as they mounted their horses. Gu Beiyue chased after them. "Princess, Your Highness, be careful. Bai Yanqing's high-profile appearance, he must have a trick up his sleeve! He must be thinking about the feud between Eastern and Western Qin! "
Long Fei Ye nodded, "Wait for our good news!"
"Don't worry, there will be good news, I promise!" Han Yunxi's tone was even more resolute than Long Fei Ye's.
Long Fei Ye hugged Han Yunxi tightly with one hand and brandished the whip with the other. The husband and wife galloped towards Hundred Poisons Sect.
Although the horses were very fast, they had to admit that they had wasted too much time. Soon, Long Fei Ye said seriously, "We won't make it, time is almost up."
At this rate, they wouldn't be able to reach Hundred Poisons Sect on time. Once they exceed the time limit, who knows what will happen?
Han Yunxi pondered. Not long after, she suddenly grabbed Long Fei Ye's hand that was holding the reins, "Turn right, we'll go up from the back of the mountain. The path to the back of the mountain is easy! We'll be in time if we kill our way through! "
"Good idea!" Long Fei Ye quickly changed directions and galloped forward. The two madams were like a gust of wind, quickly disappearing into the mountain path.
As the time approached, the entrance to Hundred Poisons Sect grew even quieter.
Although many people were muttering that Han Yunxi and Long Feiye wouldn't show up, they were still stunned when it really happened. None of them dared to believe it.
After all, this wasn't just a challenge to Hundred Poisons Sect, but also the first time that Eastern and Western Qin had cooperated to settle their old grudges.
What reason could there be for Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi not to show up?
There was only the time it took to brew a cup of tea left, so no one could sit still. Even Bai Yanqing was beginning to clench his fists behind his back. He had to admit that he was nervous as well.
Soon, a Poison Sect disciple brought an hourglass and placed it on the stage. Once the hourglass finished one round, time would be up!
Bai Yanqing stared at the hourglass and silently counted in his heart, "Five … four … three …"
When he counted to two, a disciple suddenly rushed out from Hundred Poisons Sect and whispered, "Master, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi are attacking from the back of the mountain!"
Bai Yanqing's lowered eyes suddenly lit up. He whispered, "No need to make a fuss."
But before the disciple could retreat, someone else shouted from the crowd, "The East Qin crown prince and Western Qin princess are attacking from the back of the mountain!"
