Chapter 504 Jade Ring
"Brother, don't talk!"
Miao Yi's face was already covered in tears, but she didn't bother to wipe them away.
She pressed the wound on the snake wizard's chest with one hand, and groped in her clothes with the other hand.
"it's useless……"
The snake wizard raised his pale, slender fingers, as if trying to stop her.
"Shut up!"
Miao Yi shouted hoarsely and continued searching, "It's useful! The life-extending pill... Just take it and you'll be fine! You won't die!"
"Brother, you won't die! You can't die!"
"Help me...tell Yun Ran that I'm sorry..."
He didn't ask Yun Ran for forgiveness, because it was too late for him to repent.
In his life, he has done too many wrong things and hurt too many innocent people.
Being able to die like this is the greatest relief.
The only thing he cared about was his only sister.
The snake wizard stared at Miao Yi's face, as if he wanted to imprint her appearance deeply in his mind.
But in the end, he closed his eyes weakly and slowly lost his breath.
Miao Yi's hand holding the small green bottle paused. Her hands were shaking violently, but she still tried hard to open the bottle cap and pour out the small black pills inside.
With trembling hands, she brought the pill to the snake wizard's lips. It was still soft to the touch, with a faint trace of his body temperature.
But he no longer responded.
"Brother, wake up!"
Miao Yi gently touched his cheek with the hand holding the pill, but the snake wizard did not react at all.
"Don't scare me, I found the life-extending elixir, I found it..." She spoke intermittently, her lips trembling violently as they opened and closed.
"Hurry up and eat! You'll wake up after you eat!"
Beep! Beep!
Two clear and loud whistles suddenly pulled her out of the nightmare.
Miao Yi looked up in confusion, and saw the Black King standing in front of her like a wall, dealing with the warriors holding sharp weapons and the sharp arrows shot continuously by the hunting riders.
Not far away, something was rushing towards this side, causing the ground to shake continuously.
Looking up, Miao Yi was stunned.
Yun Ran was seen riding on a black panther, with the dragon whisker mask tightly held in his hand shining with brilliant silver light, drawing sharp arcs in the air.
She rode a black panther and cut through the thorns. Her dragon-bearded face lashed fiercely at the warriors who were surrounding her and the Black King, throwing them away one by one and slamming them to the side.
When the last warrior fell, the severely injured Black King finally collapsed to the ground.
"How are you?" Yun Ran jumped off the black panther's back.
She had just realized that something was wrong here, but King Nanlin and the eldest prince were too difficult to deal with. She spent some effort to tame these black panthers before she was able to break through the siege and rush over.
Miao Yi's face was pale and tearful. She just looked up at Yun Ran and shook her head woodenly.
Yun Ran sighed. Seeing the snake witch lying lifeless in Miao Yi's arms, she almost knew what had happened.
Perhaps, this is the fate of the snake wizard.
"We can't delay any longer. We have to leave here quickly before King Nanlin and his men mobilize their troops." Yun Ran said.
Miao Yi sniffed and nodded.
The current situation is critical, and she is not someone who doesn't know what is important and what is not.
However, just as she was about to get up, she suddenly realized that the snake wizard's hand was holding her tightly.
Miao Yi frowned and her face suddenly froze.
Yun Ran keenly noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
Miao Yi didn't say anything. She bit her lower lip, moved her fingers, and took something out of the snake witch's tightly held hand.
She held the translucent, lush green jade ring in her hand and raised it high to show Yun Ran.
"Jade ring..." Yun Ran was also secretly surprised.
She had read in the "Geographical Records" that in Dakang, the imperial seal was a symbol of the emperor's succession to the throne and his supreme power.
In Nanlin, it is the jade ring worn on the hand of the King of Nanlin.
Miao Yi held the jade ring tightly between her fingers and nodded vigorously.
Her brother actually helped her steal the jade ring!
Her eyes felt sore and tears flowed uncontrollably.
This was probably the last thing the snake witch could do for her. If she got the jade ring, she and Yun Ran would be able to leave Nanlin Kingdom safely.
"Yun Ran, we can leave here safely."
Her voice trembled violently. The jade ring was the symbol of the king's power in Nanlin Kingdom. Now it was in her hands. All the warriors and hunters had to obey her.
"Let's go then." Yun Ran said calmly, "I've just found a chance to inform Brother Xiao Jing and the others. I'm sure they'll be here soon."
Miao Yi nodded, she stood up with great effort, dragged up the already cold snake witch, and carried her stubbornly on her shoulders.
Yun Ran did not stop her. Miao Yi once told her that the Snake Wizard was her last relative in this world.
Now that the snake witch is dead, she doesn't want to bother with a dead person anymore.
Seeing that Miao Yi was struggling, she called a black panther over and asked Miao Yi to put the snake witch's body on the black panther's back.
"How is the Black King?" Yun Ran asked.
Miao Yi stepped forward and sniffed its breath, her expression brightening slightly. "The Black King is fine, he just fainted. He's too big, let's wait for Young Prince Jing'an and General Yun to arrive before we move him."
"good."
Yun Ran responded, and the two of them rode Black Panther towards the city gate together.
Thanks to the jade ring, the journey was smooth. The warriors and hunters who originally wanted to kill them were a little overwhelmed and stopped their actions. They stood aside stiffly, watching them pass by.
At the city gate, they saw King Nanlin and the eldest prince with their warriors and hunting cavalry. Both of them were injured, had gloomy faces, and stared at them with unfriendly eyes.
"Father, I think you have reached the end of your time on the throne. Why don't you give it to me, your son?" Miao Yi raised the jade ring on her hand and spoke directly.
King Nanlin, who was guarding the door with some remaining soldiers, turned pale when he saw the jade ring on Miao Yi's hand.
He looked down at his hands in panic, but they were empty. The ring that should have been worn on his thumb was gone.
"You...!" He gritted his teeth in anger, "When exactly did it happen?"
Miao Yi looked at him with contempt: "It doesn't matter when it happened. What's important is that the jade ring is in my hand now. It seems that my father has a bad memory!"
"What do you mean?!" Mengraolangda suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart. He asked tentatively, "You don't want to..."
"I don't want it," Miao Yi said with a look of disinterest, but suddenly changed the subject, "But, didn't my father insist on giving this jade ring to me, your son?"
"When did I ever give you the jade ring?" Mengraolangda trembled with anger. "You rebellious girl! Return the jade ring to me right now!"
But how could Miao Yi do that?
Her expression suddenly darkened, and she addressed the rows of sturdy warriors standing in front of them, "The new King of Nanlin is here! Open the city gates for me!"
The warriors looked at Mengraolangda, who had nothing, with some hesitation, and then looked at Yunran and Miao Yi riding on the back of the black panther.
He gritted his teeth and obeyed orders, slowly pushing open the heavy black iron city gate.
