A possessive and obsessive Prince? A dark-bellied Princess Consort with the support of a system that grants mastery over both medicine and poison. A journey of mutual devotion...
Mobeichen, t...
"Where did they go?" Qiong Yicai didn't care about the situation in the city; all he wanted now was for them to die.
When he heard the news about the next three days yesterday, he immediately realized that he had been tricked and had clearly done something for someone else, but he didn't care anymore.
The matter of the medicine man has alarmed so many forces, and the royal families of various dynasties all want to get involved. So he has figured it out: he can't get the medicine man, but if he can't get it, no one else can either.
Even if they die, the Xuancang Continent will still descend into chaos, and in chaos, he will still have a chance.
"Reporting to Master, Yun Qingluo and her group have gone to Minxi Mountain." Zi Mei said this with a hint of fear.
During a previous mission, she chased someone all the way to the Minxi Mountains, where she suffered a great loss and nearly died. As for the person she was chasing, she witnessed him fall into a river full of poison; his fate was irrelevant. Anyone who falls in has no chance of survival.
Qiong Yi glanced at Zi Mei thoughtfully, then frowned slightly. "Worry-free. So much time has passed, and you still haven't moved on."
"Please calm down, Master." Zi Mei suppressed her fear and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Qiong Yi ignored Zi Mei and continued, "They actually dared to go to Minxi Mountain? Do they really think they can save their lives with their meager medical skills? How utterly laughable! Aren't they just relying on the fact that those people want to capture them alive and won't dare to burn down the forest? After all, that mountain is their only protection right now! Hahahaha... But since they're so courageous, how can I not give them a proper 'treat'?" As she said this, Qiong Yi's eyes became increasingly sinister.
He said viciously, "Those people don't dare to burn the forest, but I do! Hahaha, burn them all to death! Let them taste what it's like to be roasted by fire, and see if they still dare to oppose me!" At this moment, Qiong Yi had completely fallen into madness, his face twisted and ferocious.
Zi Mei knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe, for fear of accidentally angering Qiong Yi and bringing about her death.
Qiong Yi, having had his fill of madness, looked down at Zi Mei and said, "Idiot, go and keep an eye on them and find an opportunity to strike. Let them fight and snatch things away. Throughout the process, our whereabouts must not be revealed. Of course, if we can make them fight amongst themselves and kill each other, that would be a good show."
"Master, are you sure you want to destroy that medicine man?" Zi Mei asked Qiong Yi again to confirm.
After all, not long ago, the master was determined to obtain the medicine man.
"Destroy it. We can't get that drug-using man anyway, so it's better to destroy it." Qiong Yi snorted coldly.
He didn't understand why it was so hard for him to get something, why everyone was trying to take it from him. If he wanted it so badly, then he should just give it all up.
"It must be destroyed. If they manage to escape by chance, then use that thing. Hmph, I'm sure I don't want it, and I won't let it fall into anyone else's hands."
"Yes, Master." Zi Mei was startled. That was something her master valued more than her own life. Her master had made up her mind, and she had to complete the mission.
Qiong Yi turned her head and looked in the direction of Minxi Mountain, her eyes sinister.
Yun Qingluo, Mo Beichen, I'm waiting to see you beg me.
After entering the forest, Yun Qingluo and her group headed straight for its depths, because Shadow had said that he had accompanied His Highness here once and that they could pass through the forest.
Along the way, thanks to the medicine prepared by the Ghost Doctor and Master Yun Qingluo, although they encountered many dangers, they were able to turn danger into safety.
"I never expected to encounter man-eating flowers, man-eating trees, and poisonous snakes. Our luck is just incredible," the Ghost Doctor remarked as they found a clean spot to rest.
Everyone had some injuries, except for Yun Qingluo, because Mo Beichen had protected her very well along the way.
"Have you noticed that the rain stopped after we entered the forest? We can't feel any raindrops at all," Yun Qingluo said.
Everyone looked up at the sky, but only the tangled branches of the trees blocked their view, making it impossible to see the sky outside. It was definitely not a sunny day, because no sunlight was shining down.
“Perhaps the rain stopped just as we entered the forest,” Mo Beichen said softly.
Yun Qinglu shook her head. "There are localized rains and localized sunny days. If I'm not mistaken, this area should be partially sunny. If it had been raining for the past few days, the soil on the ground should be damp. The air in the forest is naturally humid, so it's impossible for it to dry out so quickly. The tree trunks are also dry."
Listening to Yun Qingluo's words, the group recalled the path they had just walked. The ground was indeed dry. Their feet were covered in dust, but there was no mud on the soles of their feet. Moreover, the grass and tree trunks were dry. Despite walking for so long, their clothes remained dry.
"It's really amazing. The climate of the Xuancang Continent is indeed strange. There are cold waves in the middle of winter, and it can rain in the east and be sunny in the west." The Ghost Doctor stood up in amazement and looked at the surrounding environment.
Yun Qingluo looked into the depths of the forest, where a pale purple mist seemed to be slowly flowing, appearing mystical and ethereal. However, all of them knew that it was poisonous miasma.
Yun Qingluo stood up, took out a medicine bottle, and had Shadow distribute it to the hundred guards. At the same time, she took out another identical bottle and distributed it to Mo Beichen, her master, and her uncle. She also took one herself.
"Wait here for me, I'll go take a look first," Yun Qingluo said calmly.
"No." Four voices spoke at the same time.
Shadow said, "Madam, scouting should be left to us. I'll lead some men to scout ahead."
The Ghost Doctor and Master Yun Qingluo said, "No, it's too dangerous. We're all here; we don't need a little girl like you to protect us."
Mo Beichen stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Yun Qingluo looked at the group of people, unsure how to explain herself.
She and Xiao Yi now have a better understanding and tacit understanding. Even if something happens to her, Xiao Yi can pull her into the system a second before it happens. But if Mo Beichen is there, Mo Beichen can't get into the system.
She couldn't tell them about the system.
Yun Qingluo's silence made the others think she insisted on going, and they became anxious.
The shadow approached and emphasized, "Madam, I promised His Highness that I would protect you both and ensure your safe return to the capital. I certainly wouldn't dare let you two take any risks. Please understand."
The Ghost Doctor and Yun Qingluo's master didn't say anything to Yun Qingluo, but instead whispered to each other, "Why is this girl so stubborn? We never noticed before."
“Hey, this is my apprentice. Of course I know her. She’s always had this stubborn temper. Once she’s made up her mind, nothing can change it.”
"They're all your good students, but you don't teach them anything good either."
"You're still his senior martial uncle..."
