Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Inside the Medicine King Valley, the whiskers of the Little Ginseng swayed in the air. “Hey, if you like someone, just admit it. Why are you being so awkward?”
“I didn’t.” Su Yingxue said coldly.
She had calmed down these past few days, and she no longer deliberately thought of anything.
“But that Your Highness is handsome!” The Little Ginseng couldn’t hide its fondness for good looks.
After living for thousands of years, it had seen countless people, dogs, and grass, but Chu Yihan was the most pleasing to its eyes.
It would be a pity if Su Yingxue didn’t get to see him every day.
“If you like it, go and see it yourself.” Su Yingxue opened her eyes after she finished preparing the medicine.
…..
She opened the door and called out, “Zi Wei.”
A man dressed in black swiftly appeared before her. He didn’t utter a word, but a deep purple hue at the corner of his eyes revealed his presence.
It was a full moon night, and his expression seemed normal as usual, except for his increasingly pale lips, which confirmed Su Yingxue’s suspicion. “Tonight, the poison will flare up. Drink this medicine and rest well for the night.”
Zi Wei glanced at the medicine and said, “I’m not drinking.”
“Why?” Su Yingxue grabbed his hand, and the prominent veins and the black discoloration on his arm were clear signs that the poison was acting up.
He was enduring great pain.
“You are in great danger,” Zi Wei said calmly.
Su Yingxue forcefully placed the medicine bowl into his hands. “It’s just for one night. I won’t die, but I don’t want you to suffer this pain. The more the poison flares up, the harder it will be for me to save you.”
The poison in his body was highly potent, and if not for his powerful martial arts skills and deep inner strength, he would have died already.
At present, he was holding on, and for Su Yingxue to save him, she had to minimize the frequency of the poison flaring up and gradually heal his body.
Zi Wei put the medicine bowl down and refused to drink it.
Su Yingxue picked up the medicine again, but he retreated. “Tonight, it’s dangerous.”
“You are currently experiencing the poison flare-up. Even if I’m in danger, you won’t be able to protect me. Drink the medicine quickly,” Su Yingxue urged him.
Zi Wei, as the number one assassin of the Silver Moon Pavilion, was exceptionally sensitive to auras. He could sense the danger surrounding Su Yingxue. He absolutely couldn’t drink the medicine and fall asleep, losing his ability to protect her.
Su Yingxue didn’t possess such a heightened perception. She beckoned him with a wave of her hand. “Come here, I want to tell you something.”
Zi Wei stood still. “Speak.”
“Come closer! It’s a secret that only the two of us can hear,” Su Yingxue said, using a playful tone and winking at Zi Wei.
Zi Wei’s mind wavered, and he lowered his head.
Her beauty had startled him.
Su Yingxue continued to entice him, “Hurry up and come over! 1 have something important to tell you!”
Zi Wei’s face unconsciously reddened, and he lowered his head, taking a few steps toward Su Yingxue. But as soon as he raised his head, Su Yingxue swiftly stabbed two needles into his neck and forcefully poured the medicine into his mouth.
Zi Wei’s body immediately went weak, and he struggled to vomit out the medicine. Su Yingxue firmly held his hand. “Why are you so stubborn? I said I’ll save you, so I will! You’re not allowed to die in front of me!”
“It’s… dangerous!” Zi Wei struggled, but he couldn’t resist the strong effect of the medicine Su Yingxue had administered. Before long, his body turned weak, and he fell into drowsiness.
Su Yingxue dragged him onto the bed, covered him with a blanket, and gently patted his emaciated face. “Don’t worry about me. It’s just one night. Rest well. Assassins are humans too. You need to take care of your body to protect your master.”
Su Yingxue’s lips curled up, revealing a sweet smile.
Zi Wei’s heart skipped a beat..
