The fluorescent plant, which was originally extremely ferocious, shrank back aggrievedly after being chopped several times by Ye Nuan, twisted twice, and then carefully stretched out its leaves to roll up her skirt twice.
Then he actually started dancing on the spot.
That attitude can be described as extremely flattering!
Is this horse still a plant?
Wei Qian and others looked at Ye Nuan, then looked at the plants that were still twisting happily, and collectively took two steps back.
It's so fucking terrifying!
In fact, Ye Nuan was taking a gamble by rushing over. All animals and plants were particularly close to her spiritual spring. Although this plant was a bit weird, it might be the same.
There was no need to gamble that Qi Wuze might die. As an ally, he was willing to risk his life to protect her, so she would naturally protect him as well.
Ye Nuan made the right bet; the plant wouldn't hurt her.
When the plant saw that she didn't move, it immediately stopped twisting and ran over to rub against the corner of her clothes. Ye Nuan got goosebumps all over her body when she thought about the leaves eating her flesh.
"Don't come over!" She waved her hand, and the plant shrank back into the corner in a wronged manner.
In fact, this plant is called fluorescent algae and only grows underground. It will eat corpses and other plants, but it will not actively attack people unless it feels a strong threat or murderous intent.
Qi Wuze, who had been standing up shakily, finally collapsed when he saw that she was not in any danger.
Ye Nuan was so scared that she dropped the knife, and faced Wei Qian's vicious gaze as she dragged him into the pile of fluorescent algae. Then, they sat on the algae together in the horrified eyes of everyone.
The fluorescent algae allowed them to sit there uncomfortably, and even took the initiative to increase the brightness so that Ye Nuan could see Qi Wuze's wound clearly.
Ye Nuan quickly cleaned the gravel from his back and rolled up his trouser legs. Qi Wuze fished out a bottle of medicine and handed it to her. She took it and carefully sprinkled the powder on her back and legs. The bleeding stopped immediately, but Qi Wuze was still pale from the blood loss and his body was cold.
During this time, Wei Qian and the others just watched, wanting to take action, but afraid of the glowing algae.
The temperature inside the cave was very low, and since they were all wearing thin clothes, everyone was starting to feel cold. Wei Qian's group of twenty or so people were relatively safe, but Ye Nuan's group of only two people was still feeling the cold.
After being chased, run, and flee, everyone was tired, hungry, and thirsty. Wei Qian sat down with everyone on the ground and sneered, "I want to see how long you can hold on." Even if he had to die, he would watch them die first.
Qi Wuze had lost so much blood and looked very close to death, so he was definitely the first to die.
However, the next moment, Ye Nuan took out a bright red dragon fruit from the cloth bag and handed it to Qi Wuze who was sitting: "Here, replenish your energy." Her water bag had fallen off long ago, and she could not use the spiritual spring water directly. She could only take out the fruit in the space. Although the effect was weak, it would work.
Qi Wuze raised the corner of his lips, took it and tried to break it in half, but found that his strength was limited and he couldn't break it apart the first time. He kept silent and secretly tried his best. He finally broke it apart the second time, then handed it to her and looked at the small bag she was carrying.
"What else did you bring?"
With a snap, Ye Nuan bit the dragon fruit hard, and the red juice splashed everywhere. The horse bandit opposite couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"I brought a lot more." Then she took out red bean cakes, popcorn, tomatoes, oranges, and apples from the cloth bag.
Even Wei Qian's eyes widened at this, as if it was unbelievable that such a small bag could hold so much food. Actually, the bag was just a trick; Ye Nuan had reached in with her right hand and taken the food directly from the space.
Qi Wuze was also surprised. After eating the dragon fruit, he took the orange she had peeled. The orange was very juicy, sweet with a hint of sourness. He praised, "This is delicious. Did you grow this recently? What kind of fruit is it?"
The two chatted as usual while eating, completely ignoring the hungry Wei Qian and others across from them. Ye Nuan even deliberately bit into the apple to make a loud crunching sound, describing the taste as she ate.
Wei Qian clenched his fists until they made a crackling sound, and kicked a scarred man beside him: "Go and grab the thing!"
Although the man with the scar was also hungry, he was afraid!
The algae is still behind them!
Ye Nuan looked at them and handed over two tomatoes with good intentions: "Come and take them if you want." The people opposite did not move, and then he kindly put the tomatoes on the ground, but the distance was just within the reach of the fluorescent algae.
This is the most tiring thing.
Wei Qian gritted his teeth, anger surging in his chest.
Qi Wuze laughed out loud, and Wei Qian became even angrier.
But the next second Qi Wuze couldn't laugh anymore. Ye Nuan took out a can of chili sauce and said to him, "Are you cold? You can eat this. You will sweat all over after eating it."
The spicy smell rushed straight to his nose, and his eyes twitched. He finally said: "I'm still injured, so I shouldn't eat spicy food."
"That's right." Ye Nuan stuffed the pepper back into the container, and Qi Wuze secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two sides sat there confronting each other for a long time. The temperature at the bottom of the cave was getting lower and lower. After Qi Wuze finished eating, his head suddenly felt heavy and his consciousness was a little groggy. He turned his head to look at the person next to him, and could only see her soft outline vaguely.
He tried hard to sit up straight, but he didn't have the strength for some reason. His back rested on the stone, and he gradually closed his eyes and felt sleepy.
After Ye Nuan had put away the food, she found him lying on his side, seemingly asleep. Shivering with cold, she worried that Qi Wuze might catch a cold, so she called out to him, but there was no response. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong. Qi Wuze couldn't possibly fall asleep in this state, let alone sleep so soundly.
Wei Qian also noticed something was wrong and immediately laughed happily: "Just now I saw the juice of that grass stained the wound on his leg. I guess he is poisoned and dying."
Ye Nuan's face changed slightly. She reached out to touch his forehead and found it was indeed very hot. She then touched his neck and hands and found they were also very hot. There were even bulging veins on his neck where the pulse was.
Is the juice of that grass poisonous?
Although the bite hadn't hit his foot, some of the liquid had dripped onto his wound and was probably already flowing into his bloodstream. Applying powder alone wouldn't help. They were underground now, and there was no telling when the people from Luomu City would arrive. If they didn't rescue him now, he'd have a hard time making it.
Seeing her solemn expression, Wei Qian smiled sinisterly: "It's such a shame to poison him to death. I've killed many people, using all kinds of methods to kill them. I wanted to use every one of them on him. I wanted to skin him alive, slice off his flesh and roast it, or kick his head like a ball."
"Haha! He's going to die, what a pity!"
His words were filled with malice: "But it doesn't matter. If he dies, you can pay off the debt. He chopped off my hand, so I'll chop off your hands and feet!"
The crowd surrounding him all laughed, their faces distorted with the pleasure of revenge.
Ye Nuan suddenly felt very annoyed. She, who was always soft and warm, suddenly turned around and looked at Wei Qian coldly: "You will definitely die before him!" Her eyes were very dark, and when she said this slowly and seriously, people had the illusion that what she said was the truth.
"Hmph, is that so!" Wei Qian's face looked very ugly, and his eyes stared at Ye Nuan like poisonous scorpions.
Ye Nuan calmly turned around, reached out to help Qi Wuze up from the ground, and brought her right wrist close to his lips. His lips were dry and hot, burning her wrist, but he refused to open them. His lips were already slightly dark blue.
Ye Nuan anxiously pinched his cheek. He moved his lips, opening them. The spiritual spring water dripped down his lips, but he didn't swallow it, instead flowing directly out from the corner of his lips. The fluorescent algae stretched out its leaves, greedily catching the dripping spiritual spring water, and the invisible veins on the leaves became clearer and clearer.
Ye Nuan had no choice but to drink it herself, feeding him mouth-to-mouth. Then, she pressed firmly on his neck with her left hand. Qi Wuze coughed softly, his heavy eyelids opening a crack before quickly closing again. Fortunately, he was able to swallow. The spiritual spring water seeped between his lips and teeth, his previously pale complexion returning to normal, the veins on his neck receding, and his lips gradually turning from dark blue to red.
The wound on the leg that had not yet healed healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, even the scar disappeared, and it was smooth as if it had never been injured.
His change was so obvious that even Wei Qian and the bandits across from him noticed it. Wei Qian's eyes widened in disbelief, the horror in his eyes overshadowing the coldness. He stared at Ye Nuan with an uncontrollable excitement in his voice: "You, your face is also so good?"
"Did you also give the Qi family army medicine?"
This woman actually has such a miraculous ability! The horror in his eyes turned into madness. As long as he got out... As long as he got out, he would definitely get her.
Ye Nuan put Qi Wuze down again and said in Wei Qian's usual cold tone: "I told you, you will die before him."
The corners of her lips formed a strange curve.
The twenty or so people on the opposite side suddenly became alert, thinking that the woman was abnormally beautiful and might be a man-eating monster.
"What do you want to do?"
"Kill you!" People like this are garbage in the wasteland, and their lives are a waste of food.
Wei Qian stood up and took two steps back, saying viciously: "Aren't you weak and powerless? You should have the ability to kill people, but you always let others protect you?" He remembered that on the way to exile, and at the Creation Pavilion, the woman was hiding behind Qi Wuze.
He was right. Ye Nuan was indeed powerless. Even if she had the ability, she wouldn't easily kill someone. She always obeyed the law, helping the elderly cross the street and throwing trash into the trash can.
She was not a very good person, but she would not easily harbor evil thoughts. She had never even thought of killing Li Gan. But now she wanted to kill Wei Qian and this group of evil horse bandits.
They saw their own spiritual spring and must die!
Ye Nuan said nothing, her right hand resting on the fluorescent algae. The spiritual spring gathered around her wrist and then dispersed towards the algae. The fluorescent algae glowed brightly, almost illuminating the entire cave. Then, amidst the horrified expressions of Wei Qian and the twenty or so bandits, it continued to sprout and grow.
In the blink of an eye, the twisting branches stretched out in front of them. Wei Qian reacted the fastest. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the nearest horse bandit and pulled him to the front to block it. The horse bandit screamed and was wrapped and digested by the leaves. The rest of the leaves seemed to have spirits and all came towards Wei Qian. Wei Qian's pupils shrank and he kept pulling the horse bandits around him to block the
The remaining bandits didn't care whether he was the boss or not, and struggled to escape in fear, but it was useless. Looking at the curled and bloodstained leaves, Wei Qian almost went crazy. While slashing wildly, he cursed at Ye Nuan: "You crazy woman, stop!"
"You want to fucking die, don't you?"
Seeing the leaves wrapped around his instep, the originally vicious Wei Qian suddenly collapsed. He could hardly hold the scimitar in his hand and knelt on the ground crying: "Please, stop!"
He roared madly, almost in despair.
Suddenly, the shouts of bandits could be heard from above the fracture, probably looking for Wei Qian after the earthquake stopped. However, they only heard a wild animal-like roar from below, and Wei Qian shouted his last words in despair.
"stop……"
The leaves rolled over his head, and he could only struggle feebly, unable to utter a word. Ye Nuan was not moved by his pleas for mercy, but the hand holding the leaves was shaking, and even moving her fingertips was powerless.
She...this counts as murder!
Everything returned to calm. The fluorescent algae retracted its leaves, and in a moment, the light faded. Then, its tiny tip, poking out from the front, cautiously tugged on a section of Ye Nuan's right sleeve and shook it. Countless tiny velvet flowers blossomed between the algae's leaves, scattering to the ground as it swayed.
Ye Nuan came back to her senses and went to check on Qi Wuze lying on the ground. His breathing was even and his temperature had dropped a bit, so he should be fine.
There was no longer any sound of the bandits searching above the cave. Ye Nuan climbed up and looked up. She could still see a narrow line of light at the edge of the crevice. She walked to the edge of the rock and observed carefully. This cave was not completely unclimbable.
She tried to grab the raised rock above her, then stepped on the concave part below to climb up. Steady, she tried to climb up again, but the next second, the place where her hands were holding on loosened, her foot stepped on empty space, and she fell directly to the ground.
Boom!
Ye Nuan wasn't hurt, but the person beneath her groaned. Qi Wuze, who was still asleep, was woken by her fall. He subconsciously opened his eyes and looked up, only to see a tuft of raven-black hair that exuded a fragrant scent.
The hazy touch on his lips seemed to still be there, and as he regained consciousness, his heartbeat quickened. After forcing himself to calm down, he propped himself up and helped Ye Nuan up. He felt no discomfort. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered their current situation and quickly turned to look in Wei Qian's direction.
There was nothing there except a pile of bones and scattered scimitars. He had a vague suspicion and pulled Ye Nuan away from the fluorescent algae that had been sitting there for a long time. He looked her up and down, his tone tinged with a nervousness he hadn't noticed.
"What just happened?"
He felt very tired after eating, so he leaned down. When he woke up, Wei Qian and more than twenty bandits had been eaten.
This grass underground is so scary!
"Your wounds were contaminated by the juice of this grass, and you've been poisoned. They tried to take advantage of the situation, but ended up getting entangled and eaten by this thing. I just tried to crawl out, but it seems impossible."
He had observed this cave before being poisoned. Not to mention Ye Nuan, even he would have difficulty climbing out.
Ye Nuan hugged her arms and trembled, and asked worriedly: "What should we do now?"
Qi Wuze wanted to take off his clothes for her, but he found that he only had one piece of clothing and even his belt was gone, so he gave up.
He was not thinking about Ye Nuan's question, but was curious about the wounds on his back and feet.
He had tried the golden wound medicine, and while it was effective, it usually took overnight for the scab to form and two or three days to fall off. Not only was he healed now, there wasn't even a single scar left on his back or feet.
The body feels relaxed and there are no signs of poisoning.
He looked at Ye Nuan suspiciously. Did she have other medicine on her? It was even more effective than the medicine she'd prepared, and it could even cure a hundred poisons? He was groggy just now. Was she taking advantage of him, or was she feeding him medicine?
His gaze was too direct, and even Ye Nuan, no matter how slow-witted she was, could sense it. Ye Nuan, who had just been anxious about how to get out, suddenly calmed down, uncharacteristically.
"Ask whatever you want."
But she couldn't guarantee a truthful answer.
"Why did you kiss me just now?"
Ye Nuan hadn't expected him to ask this. Shouldn't he have asked how he'd cured the poison? Her thoughts were all gone!
Why kiss him? This isn't a kiss, this is saving someone!
She was about to explain when Qi Wuze opposite her suddenly turned his eyes away and said, "No need to answer." Everyone can have secrets. She just saved herself, so it's better not to expose her little thoughts.
A strange awkwardness spread. Ye Nuan bit her lip, unsure why this happened, given she hadn't done anything. The cave was momentarily quiet. Qi Wuze picked up the broken black gold sword and climbed high, but the soil was too loose, and he slid down, sword and body, a trail of sparks and lightning.
Tried it three times and it was the same.
Just when he was about to try for the fourth time, a big bird tumbled into the cave and landed right at Ye Nuan's feet, lying upside down with its two claws raised, motionless.
Ye Nuan picked up the falcon at her feet and said to Qi Wuze happily: "Oh, your bird!"
Why does this sound so awkward!
Qi Wuze took the bird from her hand and shook it hard, and the dirt on the bird's head fell off. He patted the bird's head in disgust, and the falcon, which was pretending to be dead, immediately fluttered its wings.
There was a letter at its feet. Qi Wuze took it down and opened it. He glanced at it and said, "Just wait. Gao Zangfeng is here with his men."
Ye Nuan praised: "Your bird is so good, it can find you wherever you go!"
Qi Wuze: Can’t you put it another way?
"I've been raising him since he was little, and he always has a weird temper!"
The falcon flapped its wings and escaped from Qi Wuze's hands, and began to jump around the fluorescent algae, pecking at it again and again. The leaves of the fluorescent algae curled up into a ball, so slippery that the falcon didn't know where to start.
From above the cave came the sound of chaotic footsteps and Gao Zangfeng's urgent and loud voice.
"City Lord, City Lord!"
He lay at the mouth of the crevice and shouted at the top of his lungs, and the whole cave was filled with echoes.
"City Lord, City Lord, you're not dead, are you? If you're not, then answer me!"
Qi Wuze: "."
Ye Nuan looked at his expression and quietly observed two seconds of silence for Gao Zangfeng. If you keep shouting, you will be kicked to death!
Qi Wuze released the falcon, and soon he heard Gao Zangfeng's excited shout. A rope was soon lowered from the crack, and Gao Zangfeng's loud voice began to echo again: "City Lord, we'll pull you up."
Qi Wuze tugged at the rope, confirming it was firm, and reached out to Ye Nuan. Just as Ye Nuan was about to walk over, the hem of her skirt got tangled in fluorescent algae. She stretched out her toes and kicked, and the algae immediately shrank back into a ball.
"You seem to be particularly fond of animals and plants."
Ye Nuan chuckled: "That's right, I was born to grow whatever I sow, and it grows exceptionally well!"
Qi Wuze's eyes lit up slightly. What a coincidence, whatever he sowed died!
He reached out and grabbed her waist, using the force of the rope to jump through the darkness and land on the ground. The moment he landed, Ye Nuan noticed that the branches of the fluorescent algae also extended, but the moment they came into contact with the light, they quickly withered and then retracted in grievance.
This thing is really a bit like the Piranha Plant. It’s a good thing that it can’t be exposed to light, otherwise it would be so scary.
As the two men stood still, Gao Zangfeng suddenly shouted, "City Lord, you can't be fickle. You said you were coming to see Miss Ye, how come you've already messed with such a beauty?"
"Although Miss Ye is ugly, you can't play with her!" Gao Zangfeng angrily looked at Ye Nuan and swore that he would not let the city lord make a mistake even for the sake of delicious chili peppers.
Qi Wuze, who was always thick-skinned, was embarrassed for the first time. He kicked Gao Zangfeng who was talking nonsense and said, "If you don't know how to speak, shut up!"
Ye Nuan laughed out loud: "It's fickle."
Gao Zangfeng was slightly stunned, then looked Ye Nuan up and down, and suddenly took a breath: "You... are... Miss Ye?" It really looks like it. Hey, Miss Ye looks like this, where is the scar on her face?
He turned his head in surprise and found that many of the soldiers he brought were secretly looking at Ye Nuan, their eyes filled with surprise and amazement.
It seems that these bastards need to be taught a lesson. This may very well be the future wife of the city lord, how can they just look at her so casually!
"City Lord, let's go quickly. The people from Weijiazhai are nearby."
The earthquake here quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the wasteland. When Gao Zangfeng followed the falcon here, he had already met a small group of people from Weijiazhai. Their main force was also rushing here.
Qi Wuze's snow-riding horse was still there. He glanced at Ye Nuan, who was waiting nearby, and said, "Wei Qian is dead. I'm afraid the people from the Wei Family Village will go to Luomu City to cause trouble. You should lead the others back quickly. I will take her by the shortcut to Dahuang Village and then return."
Upon hearing this news, the soldiers of Luomu City were somewhat incredulous. This bandit leader who had been rampant in the wilderness for over a decade and had done no good was dead. After they recovered, they became excited again, and all agreed, and rode away.
Qi Wuze jumped onto the horse and when he passed Ye Nuan, he bent down and jumped on her. The sudden movement made her chest pound, and before she could sit firmly, the horse rushed out.
The sun had already set, the sky was ablaze with fiery clouds, and the late autumn wind was a bit chilly. Ye Nuan was so cold that she didn't care about the relationship between men and women, and she huddled as close as possible to lean back. She was a bit thin, and she felt soft and weightless in his arms. Qi Wuze frowned and quietly tightened his grip slightly.
Snow God Mountain was left far behind. As the last ray of light disappeared into the wilderness, the Snow Horse had already been running for a long time on the rugged mountain path. There were too many thorns in the mountain ahead, and the Snow Horse could not pass through. The two of them had to dismount and walk.
The crescent moon was like a hook, and all was quiet. Qi Wuze walked in front, and Ye Nuan walked behind. She almost fell several times because she didn't see the rocks on the ground. When she missed a step again, Qi Wuze finally couldn't help but stop and look at her.
He frowned, "Women are trouble." Then he directly put the black gold broken knife into her hand, turned around and squatted, "Come up."
Ye Nuan was a little surprised holding the knife. Aren’t people usually given a princess hug? Why did he just squat in a horse stance?
"Come on, are you going?"
"Oh, okay." Ye Nuan jumped up, put her hands on his neck, and wrapped her legs around his waist. Her movements were not awkward at all.
Qi Wuze weighed the person up and down, and the corners of his lips, which had been flat, curled up slightly. He thought to himself: She really wants me to carry her on her back, and her movements are so smooth.
He passed his hand through the bend of her legs and then walked quickly along the mountain path. As he walked, he paid attention to the movements of the person on his back, but the person on his back said nothing, even seemed to be holding his breath.
His eyes turned slightly, and he said deliberately: "Hold the knife well, don't drop it." The mountain was silent and his voice was casual and natural, as if he only cared about the knife.
Ye Nuan gripped his precious knife a little tighter.
"You'd better not send people to the salt mine at the foot of Snow God Mountain. That glowing grass is a bit dangerous. It would be bad if they accidentally dug it up. The wasteland is so big, we can go look somewhere else."
Qi Wuze nodded in agreement, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "You said before that you can live on whatever you sow?"
"Um."
"Can a dead orchid be replanted? It's been dead for over ten years."
Ye Nuan had never tried this before. "Is this orchid important to you?"
"Hmm!" Qi Wuze was silent for a moment, "It's my mother's favorite flower, a Emei Chunhui."
Orchids are always delicate, and this Emei Chunhui is particularly vulnerable to cold and needs careful care.
"How about you try it?"
"Okay." Qi Wuze was thinking about how to trick the dead orchid from his father.
For City Lord Qi, who loves tending flowers and plants even though everything he plants dies, Ye Nuan's special skills really attract him.
So he asked again: "Do you have any secrets for growing flowers and vegetables?"
The journey was difficult, and it would be a bit boring if they didn't chat. Ye Nuan left the spiritual spring aside and started chatting with Qi Wuze about how to plant flowers, how to grow vegetables, loosen the soil and fertilize, and graft seedlings. The two of them chatted in perfect harmony, and surprisingly, they connected with each other.
Qi Wuze walked him to the edge of the pond, but still had no intention of going in. Ye Nuan handed the knife back to him and asked, "When will you bring the flowers?"
Qi Wuze raised his eyebrows: "I'm not sure, I'll let Falcon come to find you." He was secretly happy in his heart, but he couldn't tell why.
"Oh," Ye Nuan responded softly, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qi Wuze after taking only two steps.
His eyes flickered and he hesitated, "You... don't have anything to say to me?"
