He lowered his head in silence, looking embarrassed.
"It's because you've taken my secret elixir!" I bluntly exposed him.
Actually, from the first moment I saw him, I sensed the aura of my spiritual blood within him.
And this is about every bottle of blood medicine I sold.
This was also to avoid selling to some wicked and vicious people, thus aiding and abetting evil, and ultimately causing me, a being destined for divine punishment, to suffer the consequences.
In fact, it's not something that ordinary people can buy just because they have money.
These were all times when my divination indicated great fortune.
Only then will it be sold to those who are destined to receive this blood medicine.
So far, only one bottle of this medicine has been sold. It is usually just used as a prized possession of the pharmacy to boost the store's business.
That's why I held back and didn't harm a single soldier of his during our three-day and three-night battle.
"Some time ago, I shielded the Emperor from the poisoned wine offered by Prince Shi Ci, and by chance, I drank a secret remedy from the young lady's pharmacy, which saved my life," he said.
"The sorceress you speak of is the one who saved your life. And this is how the court you swore to serve treats its own people."
"Ha, with such a corrupt court, it's no wonder that Prince Shila would rebel," I said sarcastically.
I saw him lower his head again, looking ashamed of himself.
"Boom!"
The fire had spread so far that it had burned down the small courtyard where Zhou Lang and I lived.
Watching the place where Zhou Lang and I had lived for almost a year being engulfed in this sea of fire.
My eyes hardened even more as I declared, "No matter what demons and monsters lie ahead, I will break through here!"
Having said that, I carried Zhou Lang on my back and strode out towards the sea of fire.
As soon as I stepped out of the sea of fire, countless flaming arrows flew in and relentlessly hurtled towards my direction.
But I, with a chilling aura, fearlessly dodged the rain of arrows.
I looked around and saw that there were probably three thousand archers surrounding the area.
But I was clearly struggling to carry Zhou Lang on my back.
I no longer have the energy to deal with these people. The only way is to act quickly, capture the leader first, and get rid of that corrupt official.
This is the first time I have ever committed murder.
I carried Zhou Lang and soared into the air, then with a spinning kick, I pierced the chest of the corrupt official who was sitting arrogantly in his sedan chair.
He stared wide-eyed as he clutched the long arrow that had suddenly come flying at his chest.
His body, filled with resentment, slammed violently off the high sedan chair.
The archers, who were poised to fire, saw that their commander had fallen to the ground.
From afar, I heard the archers, who had suddenly stopped, whispering among themselves:
"The Minister has been killed in action. Should we continue firing arrows, or retreat?"
While these people were hesitating and unable to make up their minds.
"Don't let this witch leave this place, she has sorcery." At this moment, a Taoist priest who looked like an immortal but was covered in soot shouted to the archers around him as he escaped from the sea of fire.
This shout gave the hesitant archers some direction.
They all launched arrows in my direction again.
With a fierce glint in my eyes, I kicked the flying arrow at the chest of that damned Taoist priest who hadn't even bothered to ruin my plans.
But the stinky Taoist priest dodged it with a swift movement.
Although he dodged my long arrow, he couldn't escape the barrage of arrows fired by the archers, which pierced his heart and killed him.
Another thousand arrows flew in, and I, carrying Zhou Yu on my back, had no choice but to put him behind a big tree, intending to teach these blind and ungrateful bastards a good lesson.
"stop!"
At this moment, General Yan, standing behind him, strode out with steady steps, holding his general's token in his hand, his imposing presence defying the blazing firelight.
"I am General Yan Shuo. The Minister was ordered to provide disaster relief, but he disobeyed the imperial order and harmed the people and a hundred soldiers. He deserves to die. Now I give you a chance to lay down your bows and arrows and atone for your sins. Those who disobey the order will have their entire families executed!"
The voice was powerful and resonant, truly awe-inspiring.
Everyone put down their bows and arrows and shouted in unison to General Yan Shuo, "We swear to follow General Yan Shuo to the death!"
"Girl, don't worry, come out quickly!"
After General Yan strode into the crowd of soldiers, he stood on a high place and said to me with a friendly expression.
Seeing his sincerity, I lowered my guard and wanted to carry Zhou Lang on my back again.
I walked up to Zhou Lang and looked at his quiet face and the slightly disheveled hair beside him.
She reached out and tidied his hair, then couldn't help but gently stroke his face and say softly, "You've been wronged today. We'll go to Uncle Yuan's place later and give you a proper makeover."
After saying that, she picked him up and carried him on her back.
"Whoosh!" I suddenly sensed a cold, long arrow flying through the air from behind Zhou Lang.
The speed was so fast that I could only quickly turn around and block the arrow for Zhou Yu.
A sharp, piercing pain suddenly shot through my shoulder and spread throughout my body.
After letting out a low, muffled groan, the weakness in my arms almost made me drop Zhou Lang from my back.
I looked up and glanced in the direction from which the arrow had come.
Dressed in crimson, she resembled Ye Chen but was disguised as a woman. Standing on a treetop in the distance, she smiled wickedly at me with her charming and alluring eyes.
Then it suddenly disappeared from my sight.
I couldn't help but feel nervous and alert, and I gripped Zhou Lang's leg tighter and tighter.
However, she possesses magic, and my meager martial arts skills are nothing compared to hers.
Sure enough, she suddenly appeared in front of me in a flash.
She moved so fast that I didn't even notice her presence before she cast a spell with a single finger.
Zhou Lang behind me vanished in an instant, right before my eyes.
I frantically searched everywhere for him.
But on a high slope behind General Yan and his thousands of soldiers, they saw Ye Ling'er tying Zhou Lang's body to a tree trunk.
I saw her smugly raise the corners of her lips as she looked at me: "Little flower fairy, you want him? As long as you walk back from there unharmed, I'll give him back to you! Otherwise..."
She gave me a coded message.
After saying that, he brandished a gleaming dagger and made a rather perverse slash across Zhou Lang's cheek.
Fresh blood kept sliding down his cheeks.
Afraid she would continue her reckless behavior, I could only stand there and shout at him, "What are you doing! Put him down!"
"Otherwise, if you pass by unharmed before I've finished tearing him to pieces, I'll take pity on you and return his remains to you!"
She roared wildly to the sky and continued to slowly cut a gash in Zhou Lang's chest.
But I could no longer bear it.
He ran in her direction in a fit of rage.
Unexpectedly, General Yan's soldiers seemed to be under her puppeteer's spell, their eyes turning bloodshot as they wielded their broadswords and slashed wildly...
