Chapter 241

"It's no use. We've been poisoned and will surely die within half an hour. Fairy, you don't need to worry about us."

The beautiful woman had her eyes closed, and her voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.

Rong Rong squatted down for a closer look and found that the blood at the corners of their mouths was somewhat black, their faces were also a bit bluish, and their lips were purple, indicating that they were indeed poisoned.

Looking at the largest wound on their chests, it seemed that a throwing knife was stuck in it, and blood was gushing out continuously. The blood was darker than the blood at the corners of their mouths, almost the color of ink, so it seemed that the poison came from the throwing knife.

Rong Rong touched their bodies again; they were cold and stiff. Rong Rong was surprised. She could understand that they were cold, but they weren't dead yet, so why were their bodies stiff?

"It's because of poisoning; we can't move at all right now," the man said with a wry smile.

I can't move them; I feel like I probably can't even lift them.

Rong Rong frowned, then turned her gaze to the man in black lying on the ground beside her.

Since this person's weapon is poisonous, could he possibly have an antidote on him?

Rong Rong hesitated and did not step forward, unsure whether the person was dead or not.

She wasn't in danger of dying, but even if she did, Rong Rong wouldn't dare touch the corpse. Although it wasn't the first time she'd seen a corpse, touching it... Rong Rong felt wronged.

Seemingly noticing Rong Rong's hesitation, the beautiful woman suddenly said, "The person isn't dead yet."

Rong Rong instantly relaxed. "But it'll be soon." Rong Rong became tense again.

Being half-dead is better than being dead. Rong Rong finally mustered her courage and stepped forward.

She kicked the man in black, flipping him over so his face was up. The man in black was indeed dressed in black, his face covered with a black cloth, the standard attire of a martial arts assassin.

After a moment's thought, Rong Rong went straight to touch the other person's chest.

It was warm to the touch, so it's not dead yet.

Rong Rong breathed a sigh of relief and boldly began to touch herself, touching left and right, just as she was getting into the swing of things, when suddenly she met the eyes of the man in black, dark and deep, and she didn't know when he had opened his eyes.

Rong Rong's heart stopped, and she was about to get up and leave when the man in black suddenly tilted his head and closed his eyes.

Dead?

Rong Rong trembled as she checked the other person's breath; there was no breathing.

"He's really dead!" Rong Rong exclaimed softly.

Fortunately, she had just touched a round porcelain bottle.

Rong Rong grabbed the bottle and quickly got up to leave. She only felt relieved when she got to the couple. She didn't know if the bottle contained the antidote, so she opened it to show them and even let the man smell it.

Almost instantly, the man felt a surge of strength. His eyes lit up with joy, "It's the antidote."

Afterwards, Rong Rong helped the two take the medicine, and it worked almost instantly; the two were able to move their bodies very quickly.

The wound was still bleeding, but these external injuries were nothing to martial artists.

The two quickly pressed two major acupoints on their bodies to temporarily stop the bleeding, and with Rong Rong's help, they struggled to get up.

This place is not safe to stay in for long, so the three of them used their lightness skills to leave quickly.

Rong Rong dragged the two of them through the woods, and the two of them gritted their teeth and kept up.

However, given their condition, they couldn't run very far. In addition, the forest was indeed a maze, so the three of them had to stop and find a place to rest before long.

They were initially worried that assassins might catch up with them, but fortunately, the maze in the forest not only trapped them but also indirectly protected them, and they did not encounter any more assassins.

The couple, panting heavily, sat down by the tree and took out their wound medicine, sprinkling it on their wounds.

All that's left is to tough it out.

Most martial arts practitioners do this when they are injured, while Rong Rong sits quietly to the side.

Unbeknownst to the three, shortly after they left, the black-clad man who had been lying dead on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, struggled to pull out a pill from his person, and threw it into his mouth.

A few breaths later, the man in black slowly sat up.

Almost simultaneously, several more men in black arrived. Upon seeing the man in black, they all knelt on one knee, saying, "Young Master!"

The man in black on the ground ripped off the black cloth covering his face, revealing a fair-skinned, handsome baby face.

He grinned, his two small tiger teeth gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

He ignored the man in black kneeling on the ground, and instead raised his hand to bring the handkerchief he was holding to his eyes. It was a pure white silk handkerchief with a delicate "Rong" character embroidered on the lower right corner.

"Don't let me catch you!" Jiang Yetang held the handkerchief, looking like a curious young boy, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes so quickly that it was almost invisible.

The men in black beside him remained silent. Knowing their young master best, they naturally knew that he was angry.

Given their young master's vindictive, wicked, and manipulative nature, it's easy to predict that anyone who offends him will suffer a terrible fate.

This kind of misery is not the misery of injury or death, but the misery of being devastated in terms of spirit and psychology.

They had seen this kind of scene many times before, and they were completely unmoved.

"Continue to hunt down those two until you find their bodies!" Jiang Yetang coldly ordered, and as soon as he finished speaking, the men in black disappeared one after another.

Their movements were so silent that they could be described as ghostly.

Finally, Jiang Yetang looked down at the handkerchief in her hand, and the image of those bright and pure eyes from just now involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

They are so beautiful; he had never seen such beautiful eyes before.

Especially after the other person is frightened, their eyes are filled with panic, like a startled fawn.

Cute, pretty, and charming.

Suddenly, Jiang Yetang sniffed, a look of confusion flashing in his big cat eyes. He unconsciously brought the handkerchief to his nose, and an alluring fragrance suddenly wafted into his nostrils.

Jiang Yetang's body suddenly stiffened, her movements froze, and she remained motionless for a long time.

When he finally realized what was happening, he flung the handkerchief away as if he were throwing something hot to the touch.

After a while, he looked around, calmly picked up the handkerchief from the ground, and muttered something in a voice only he could hear.

"Huh? Considering the incense you chose is not bad, I'll go easy on you when I find you."

"Hmm, you kicked me, so I'll slap you back."

Jiang Yetang spoke lightly, but as the third on the list of young heroes and the seventeenth on the list of masters, if his palm strike were to land squarely, even a first-rate master might have their meridians severed and die.

His so-called leniency could be fatal to most people.

But in his view, being able to let someone die easily was already an act of great mercy.

Rong Rong and the others stayed in the woods for several days, surviving entirely on hunting and roasting meat. They only left the woods after the couple's injuries had healed.

It's not that they don't want to leave sooner, but it's difficult for them to find an exit.

Finally, Rong Rong was lucky enough to encounter a pack of wolves, and they were led away by them.

The couple watched in amazement as the alpha wolf nestled snuggled close to Rong Rong, reluctant to let her go.

Although they knew wolves were intelligent, they had never seen wolves so close to humans.

After the alpha wolf and its pack disappeared into the woods, glancing back every few steps, the three of them used their lightness skills to fly towards the nearest county town.
