Lin Muyu closed his eyes and held Qin Yin in his arms. He reached behind her to help her put on her clothes. Qin Yin's face was blushing, and her nose was filled with the other's scent. She seemed to have fallen into a very subtle state.
…
After putting on her clothes, Qin Yin also felt a warmth in her chest. The Heart Calming Powder took effect very quickly. It was like a warm current that melted the body that had been frozen by the snake venom from her wound. Even the intense pain from her wound made Qin Yin understand that she had been saved. This brat really had some ability. He could even cure the dragon snake's venom!
Feeling gradually returned to her arm. She quickly gathered her clothes and said, "Thank you …"
"You're welcome. Where's the fee …" Lin Muyu was busy refining the other bottles of antidote.
"Why … do you care so much about money?" Qin Yin sat up straight and regained some of the empire's princess' temperament.
Of course, Lin Muyu could not say that he wanted to learn blacksmithing and needed money to buy materials, so he said, "How would a daughter of a rich family like you understand the difficulties of us poor children? In short, we need money. Without money, we can't do anything."
As he spoke, he put away the antidote he had refined and stood up with the Burning Prairie Sword. "I have urgent matters to attend to. Oh right, tell me your address. I'll pay you a visit later to ask for money!"
Qin Yin could not help but smile. "Alright, I live in the capital's Tongtian Street 1 …"
"Tongtian Street!"
Lin Muyu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Then it's on the same street as the War Holy Temple. That makes things easier."
"You're from the War Holy Temple?" Qin Yin was stunned.
"Yes …" Lin Muyu scratched his head and said with a smile, "I still have urgent matters to attend to. I'll be leaving first!"
"Oh, okay."
Under Qin Yin's gaze, Lin Muyu swept away and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
After searching for a long time in the forest, he still couldn't find the horse he had lost. Instead, he saw many cavalrymen carrying torches walking through the forest, looking for something.
"Most of them are here to look for Xiao Xi." He thought to himself. He stopped looking for war horses and turned to rush into the fertile field.
Suddenly, he realized that he had forgotten something. That's right, he had actually forgotten to ask that beauty's name. 1000 Jin Yin coins might have been wasted. Luckily, he knew the address!
…
"Your Highness! Your Highness! "
In the forest, the shouts of the cavalry did not stop.
It was late autumn in the Dragon-seeking Forest, and it was extremely cold at night. Qin Yin pulled her cloak closer, shivering from the cold. Due to her severe injuries, she could not summon her genuine Qi, and she did not even have the strength to shout.
Step by step, she walked to the jungle path and shouted at the top of her voice, "I'm here."
The Imperial Guards with sharp ears immediately turned around. When they saw the princess standing under the starlight, they immediately felt as if they had been given a new life. They shouted in ecstasy, "General Feng, Her Highness is here!"
In the distance, Feng Jixing's arm was wrapped in gauze, and the white robe behind him was also dyed red. He held his saber and galloped over on his horse. He quickly dismounted and knelt on one knee. He cupped his fists and said, "I'm late to the rescue. Is Your Highness alright?"
"I'm fine."
Qin Yin nodded and smiled. "General Feng, are you injured?"
Feng Jixing shook his head and smiled. "It's just a small injury. However, the Imperial Guards lost many brothers in order to defeat this ten-thousand-year-old dragon snake. It's really a sin. Fortunately, Your Highness is fine. This is great …"
He looked at the bandaged wound on Qin Yin's chest and could not help but ask, "Your Highness … Weren't you stabbed by the dragon snake's venom? That venom … Are you really alright? "
"I'm fine. The venom has been neutralized."
"How is that possible? That's the venom of a ten-thousand-year-old dragon snake … "Feng Jixing was shocked." How did you neutralize it? "
"I met a stranger. He helped me neutralize the venom."
"Oh, who is it? What's his name?"
"This …" Qin Yin was suddenly stunned. Her beautiful face was blank. Oh no, she actually forgot to ask for his name. She was still too careless after all!
Feng Jixing seemed to have guessed something. He held back his laughter and continued cupping his fists. "Since that's the case, I'll send someone to escort Your Highness back to the capital. I'll continue leading the search and rescue mission for Princess Xi."
"No, I want to go personally!"
"Then … Alright …"
…
At the break of dawn, the light of the rising sun shone on the Dragon Seeking Forest.
It was late autumn, and the maple leaves were like fire. A young girl held a walking stick made of tree branches and walked unsteadily in the mountains. Her small boots had been worn out by the sharp rocks, and her snow-white soles were exposed. Looking in the direction of the sun, she pouted and said, "That's the east, then … the southwest should be this direction. No, no, it seems to be the other direction …"
As she spoke, she stomped her feet and said resentfully, "Tang Xiaoxi, why don't you study the geographical maps properly? Look at you now, you're lost again. Sob sob, I'm so hungry …"
She continued to limp into the distance. She had to go, or else she could only wait for death.
However, Tang Xiaoxi did not know that a pitch-black leopard was walking slowly on the other side of the mountain range. A pair of merciless eyes stared at her. To the black leopard, she was not a stunning beauty, but a delicious breakfast.
This was a spiritual beast black leopard with a lifespan of 3,000 years. Moreover, it was in heat and needed a large amount of food to replenish its energy consumption. Its paws made no sound as it stepped on the fallen leaves and gravel, approaching Tang Xiaoxi step by step.
Finally, when the two of them were less than 20 meters apart, the black leopard suddenly growled and leaped over!
"Hmm?"
Tang Xiaoxi was immediately alerted. She opened one hand and the Fire Fox martial soul came out of her body. She raised the tree branch in her hand lightly and drew a cross-shaped light in the air!
"Bang!"
Who would have thought that the surface of the black leopard's body would actually have a shield made of spiritual power. It instantly broke through Tang Xiaoxi's obstruction and waved its sharp claws, leaving a terrible wound on her shoulder with a "crack".
If it was a normal day, Tang Xiaoxi would still have the strength to fight, but now that she was covered in wounds and hungry, how could she fight? She hurriedly stepped on the halo of the Fire Fox martial soul and ran away.
"Roar!"
The black leopard roared and chased after her. How could it let go of such a delicious meal so easily?
Just as the black leopard's sharp claws descended again, the sound of horse hooves came from afar and a familiar voice shouted, "It's Princess Xi, hurry up and follow me!"
In the maple forest, a white figure galloped over. It was a young man in a white robe, holding a strangely shaped saber in his hand. Before he got close, he jumped up from his horse, opened his hand and shouted in the air, "Bastard, get out of here!"
"Buzz!"
The golden light exploded and a golden iron chain appeared out of thin air, directly penetrating the black leopard's abdomen. Immediately, blood and intestines rolled out. This was actually the God Binding Chain that was exactly the same as Qin Yin's martial soul!
The saber fell like lightning and with a "crack", the black leopard's head rolled along the grass. He carried the bloodstained saber and cupped his hands, saying, "Xiao Xi, are you alright? I brought the Royal Guards to save you! "
Tang Xiaoxi's body trembled and all the grievances burst out in an instant. Tears flowed down her face, "Brother Qin Lei, you're finally here. I almost died here!"
Qin Lei's eyes were filled with heartache, "Silly girl, it's alright now. We'll return to Lanyan City after resting for a while. Don't worry, with me here, no spirit beast can harm you."
"En." Tang Xiaoxi nodded heavily, then said, "Is there anything to eat?"
"Yes!"
Qin Lei immediately fetched some cooked meat and water. Tang Xiaoxi didn't care about being a virtuous lady and wolfed it down. After she finished eating, she wiped her small mouth and felt that she was too unreserved. Thus, she recovered some of the attitude of a princess and said, "Brother Qin Lei, how's the imperial capital?"
"Same as usual." Qin Lei held onto his saber and stood at the side of the warhorse, saying, "But I heard that after something happened to you in the Dragon Seeking Forest, even the Emperor was alarmed. So … the imperial capital dispatched at least ten thousand troops to search for you in the Dragon Seeking Forest. Luckily, I found you. Everyone was worried to death. I heard that … Her Highness Yin also secretly left the palace to look for you!"
"Xiao Yin, she …" Tang Xiaoxi pursed her red lips, "She'll be fine, right?"
"Haha, don't worry. She's with Commander Feng Jixing of the Imperial Guards. Moreover, they set off with a total of 5000 Imperial Guards. She should be fine. Look at me, I only brought 2000 Imperial Guards."
Tang Xiaoxi looked at the group of Imperial Guards behind Qin Lei and was a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, "I'm really sorry to everyone, causing the imperial capital to mobilize so many troops …"
Qin Lei smiled honestly and asked, "Xiao Xi, what kind of person is that Lin Muyu? I heard that he's just a felon of the imperial capital. Why would you put yourself in danger for this kind of person?"
"No, Lin Muyu is not a felon. He's not that kind of person!" Tang Xiaoxi's expression was very resolute as she said, "He saved my life before so I must come to the Dragon Seeking Forest to look for him. Unfortunately, I met with the ambush of the House of Chivalry and many of the Imperial Guards died …"
Qin Lei said, "The duty of a Knight is to die for the sake of protecting. Their deaths must be of value. Xiao Xi need not blame yourself too much. Let them set off back to the imperial capital. I'll release the Yu's letter now and let Her Highness Yin and Feng Jixing know about this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise they will still be searching around like headless flies in the Dragon Seeking Forest!"
"En, good!"
… …
The white bird flew up and flapped its wings as it swept across the sky, bringing the news of Tang Xiaoxi.
On the vast land, Lin Muyu carried his long sword as he moved swiftly. He avoided all the spiritual beasts in order to find Tang Xiaoxi as soon as possible. However, the route seemed to have deviated. He would never be able to find Tang Xiaoxi in the direction he was heading. Raising his head to look, a white bird flew past. He didn't know who raised it as a messenger bird.
On the other side of the continuous mountain range, the bird slowly landed on Feng Jixing's shoulder. He opened the letter and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Your Highness, General Qin Lei has found Princess Xi!"
Qin Yin was pleasantly surprised, "Good, where is Xiao Xi?"
"I don't know. He arranged for us to meet at the western gate of the imperial capital!"
"En, then let's set off quickly!"
"Alright!"
