Chapter 1616 Kiss Him
"Your Majesty, Yingxue was injured, so we rushed back to treat him." Yan Yi walked quickly to the villain and explained carefully.
Wen Huoran glanced at Bu Yingxue's arm, where there was not a single piece of good flesh left, and felt that Yan Yi was overestimating his own abilities. The demonic energy that had invaded his body was not something a mere mortal female doctor could cure.
Thinking of this, he turned to Bu Yingyue and said, "Call your father." After that, he led a group of Demon Realm guards away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yan Yi touched the tip of her nose and said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, are you - looking down on the medical skills of mortals like me?" After saying that, she returned to Bu Yingxue and pretended to support his shoulders.
Bu Yingyue hurried over and said with a smile, "Xiaoyi, let me go." Then, she pushed Yan Yi forward and said, "You lead the way."
Seeing her sullen expression, Bu Yingyue kindly explained, "Your Excellency doesn't disdain your medical skills. Low-level demons are attacked by unknown demonic energy, their minds poisoned. Ordinary medical skills are powerless to treat their bites."
Yan Yi took Bu Yingyue's words to heart, but she did not look at Wen Huoran with new eyes. She always kept in mind that the villain has been disliking ordinary people for a long time.
When they arrived at the courtyard where Yan Yi lived, Bu Yingxue was already unconscious. Bu Yingyue helped him sit steadily on the chair and then sent a message to Bu Shu.
Yan Yi was devastated that the medical skills he had learned were unable to heal Bu Yingxue's injuries, but he had no choice but to use medicine to stop the toxins in his body to prevent them from spreading.
"Xiao Yi, what did you sprinkle on that low-level demon in Tanzhou City just now?" Bu Yingyue asked casually as she tore off the tattered sleeve of her brother's right arm and threw it away.
"Anti-wolf magic weapon." Yan Yi blurted out, "It's a pity that it's useless against the demons. If the opponent was an ordinary mortal, he would definitely be so spicy that he would cry and snot."
Bu Yingyue didn't understand and couldn't help asking, "Defense wolf—arrogant?"
Yan Yi looked up from the medicine box, carefully assessing her expression, and patiently explained, "Anti-wolf magic weapon, a homemade scented powder, used to ward off scoundrels. It's quite common in my hometown. If you encounter a scoundrel with bad intentions, just throw it in his face when he's off guard, and his fighting power will be almost zero."
She deliberately emphasized the four words "anti-wolf artifact" in an attempt to resolve the doubts she had been thinking about for a long time.
"It sounds like a remarkable weapon." Bu Yingyue praised sincerely, "Xiaoyi, you are braver than I thought."
Yan Yi smiled with relief and continued to organize the medicine box.
When she mentioned the real-world term "anti-wolf artifact", the other party did not experience a headache or other symptoms of physical discomfort, nor was he forced to lose his memory - he simply skipped the topic.
Previously, she mentioned the "locator" in front of Wen Huoran, and he suddenly had a headache and was forced to lose his memory. It was as if the "locator" was erased from his mind by the system.
Yan Yi's doubts grew even stronger - could it be that these rules only apply to the mission targets of the book-traveling person?
With this in mind, Yan Yi thought about finding an opportunity to conduct a test on the villain.
Seeing her staring at the medicine bottle in her hand in a daze, Bu Yingyue stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes, and asked with concern: "Are you scared?"
Yan Yi gathered his thoughts and smiled, "I've recovered now. I was really scared back then."
Seeing that she seemed to be truly alright, Bu Yingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Speaking of which, my mother and you have quite a connection. She was originally an ordinary mortal."
Bu Yingyue used the word "originally". Out of courtesy, Yan Yi did not ask any further questions, but only said softly: "I wonder if there is a chance to meet her?"
After hearing this, Bu Yingyue couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahahaha—when you see my mother, you definitely won't be able to call her 'old lady'."
Yan Yi didn't understand why, so he asked quietly, "Why do you say that?"
"I'll take you to meet her someday, and then you'll know!"
When Bu Yingyue mentioned her mother, the smile in her eyes never faded. She guessed that her family had a very close relationship.
Yan Yi couldn't help but be moved by the scene. Thinking of his parents who were far away "outside the book", his eyes became hot and a few tears rolled down his cheeks.
Seeing this, Bu Yingyue immediately panicked, "What's wrong? Are you missing home?"
Yan Yi wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, hummed softly, and then explained: "I haven't seen my parents for a long time. When you mentioned Master's wife, it aroused my homesickness."
Bu Yingyue came over and hugged her, comforting her, "My mother is a very gentle person. You will definitely like her when you meet her. When the time is right, let her come forward to persuade His Majesty to let you go home to visit your family.
Yan Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was not okay. It was all his fault that he was too emotional and accidentally revealed his true feelings, causing the other party to misunderstand him.
She had no reasonable excuse to refuse, so she could only smile and nod.
About a cup of tea later, Bu Shu hurried over with a medicine box. He placed the medicine box on the long table, dismissed Yan Yi and Bu Yingyue, and began to treat Bu Yingxue's injuries.
As dusk fell, the sky was gradually covered by rosy clouds.
Yan Yi half-knelt on the ground, leaning against the wall, chatting idly with Bu Yingyue.
A thick black fog suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the yard, moving from far away to near. In the blink of an eye, it moved in front of the two people.
The thick fog dispersed, revealing a tall figure wrapped in it. "How is Yingxue?" Wen Huoran asked in a deep voice.
Yan Yi stood up, holding onto the wall behind him, and said truthfully, "Your Majesty, Master and the others haven't come out yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door behind him creaked open slowly, and Bu Yingxue poked her head out from behind the door. Her arm was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and her face was visibly weak and pale.
"Your Majesty." He greeted Wen Huoran, then walked over to Bu Yingyue and said weakly, "Sister, I'm fine."
Bu Yingyue frowned, "You call this okay!" She put one hand on her brother's shoulder and turned to say goodbye to Wen Huoran and Yan Yi, "Your Majesty, Xiaoyi, I'll take Yingxue home first. Mother must be worried."
As he walked out, he raised his voice to remind Bu Shu: "Father, mother is waiting for us at home!"
Bu Shu packed up his medicine box, followed the siblings, and said goodbye.
It was dusk and the sky was gradually getting dark. Only Yan Yi and Wen Huoran were left in the empty yard, which suddenly became much quieter.
Yan Yi was so focused on finding the villain to test him that he didn't notice the increasingly subtle atmosphere in the air.
She slowly moved to Wen Huoran's front and asked softly, "Your Majesty, has the evil spirit in Tanzhou City been cleared?"
Wen Huoran lowered his eyes to look at her and hummed softly as a response.
Earlier, he saw Bu Yingxue carrying Yan Yi back to the mansion. He didn't know what emotion was causing him to feel uncomfortable.
At that time, Yan Yi seemed to smell some kind of danger, and quickly let go of Bu Yingxue and took the initiative to approach the villain.
This action made Wen Huiran quite happy.
"Your Majesty..." Unable to suppress his inner curiosity, Yan Yi was the first to speak, breaking the silence in the courtyard, "Did the evil spirit in Tanzhou City transfer from Xiangyun Town?"
Wen Huoran seemed to be extremely interested in her words, and his inquiring gaze fell on her face. "Why do you say that?"
"Tanzhou City is very far away from Taihu Lake, and there is Xiangyun Town between them. This can only be the reason!" She cautiously expressed her guess.
Wen Huoran raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded slowly.
After receiving the response, Yan Yi continued to chat, "While watching the dragon boat race on the Miyun River, a strange man suddenly appeared, grabbed my wrist without a word, and tried to jump into the river. I thought he was a blind scoundrel and was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat!"
Her expression was a little exaggerated, and she spoke in a vivid and colorful manner, with strong traces of performance.
Wen Huoran assumed she was too frightened and hadn't completely calmed down yet, so he showed some patience and said, "I heard from Yingyue that you brought weapons down the mountain?"
Yan Yi couldn't help but be speechless. The villain and the twin siblings were indeed the ones who grew up together.
But - there is no need to tell the truth about such a trivial matter!
"Yes-yes." She was quite embarrassed. After all, the anti-wolf artifact did not cause any harm to the so-called scoundrel.
However, since the villain had put the words on her lips, if she didn't take the opportunity to test it, it would seem a bit unfair to the other party's rare understanding.
Thinking this way, she blurted out the lines she had rehearsed several times in her mind: "Your Majesty, I brought a homemade anti-wolf artifact down the mountain, specially prepared for those foolish scoundrels. However, it has no attack power against the demons."
"Anti-wolf—arrogant?"
As expected, Wen Huoran showed the same puzzled expression as Bu Yingyue, "What kind of weapon is this? I've never heard of it before."
Yan Yi smiled and thought to himself, if you had heard of it, I would have doubted your identity.
"Anti-wolf magic weapon, a homemade incense powder. A few spicy spices are added to the usual incense powder. It is a magical weapon specially used to prevent lechers."
Wen Huoran seemed to understand, but didn't ask too many questions.
After saying this, Yan Yi silently looked at the other person's expression, fearing that he would miss the unbearable pain on the villain's face in a blink of an eye.
However, Wen Huoran looked calm, as if they were just chatting casually and were not discussing any confidential topics that Yan Yi was cautious about.
This trend once plunged her into a vortex of self-doubt.
Yan Yi has always been a person who never gives up. The more he faces setbacks, the more courageous he becomes. So he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned words and expressions from the real world, and even deliberately mentioned the fuse of "locator" in an attempt to awaken the villain's memory.
In the end, nothing happened.
Wen Huoran's expression did change, but it gradually changed from being expressionless at the beginning to one of doubt...
Finally, Yan Yi read the look of "understanding" on his face -
The mortal doctor was frightened, lost her mind, and began to talk nonsense.
The test ended in failure. Yan Yi stood there blindly, staring blankly at Wen Huoran's handsome face.
The villain's headaches didn't strike suddenly, nor was he forced into amnesia.
After thinking about it, Yan Yi suddenly had a bold guess in his mind - the characters in the book would be punished accordingly and forced to lose their memory if they did something that hurt the person who traveled through the book.
Remembering that he had touched the villain's tongue last time, the innocent old antique had a physiological reaction and immediately ran away.
If she kissed him, the old antique would definitely get angry and strangle her neck - just like when she first entered the book, which would cause her to have a headache...
She decided to take a risk and took two steps forward towards Wen Huoran, tightly grasping his collar with one hand. "Your Majesty—"
