Chapter 347: Escape! Long Feibai's Thoughts
He Zhaojun quickly held his shoulders and said, "Stop talking, Long Feibai. These are nothing compared to your life. If you really want to talk, go outside and talk."
Long Feibai firmly grasped He Zhaojun's hand. "I'm afraid if I don't tell you now, I won't have the chance later. I was born without feeling, and I don't understand joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. When I grew up, I locked myself in a water dungeon and experimented on myself, studying medicine and poison techniques. I thought that was enough."
"But my master told me that even though I'm already a top-notch doctor, if I can't understand the sufferings of the world and lack the seven emotions and six desires, I'll never become a great witch... It wasn't until I tricked you into eating the Golden Phoenix Gu that I felt for the first time what it was like to be born a human and live like this."
While dodging the flames that were licking at her madly, He Zhaojun was looking for a mechanism to open the door on the wall. She knew that since Wang Yanji did not come in through the secret passage above, there must be other doors leading to the outside world.
Suddenly, her finger touched an unusual brick, and a breeze blew into the closed chamber, bringing a hint of coolness. He Zhaojun was overjoyed and turned around to help Long Feibai up without paying attention to anything else.
"I'll take you away! Cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief!"
Long Feibai was stunned: "What about Wang Yanji? Aren't you taking her with you? Besides, I've already said that I'm loyal to you, to you... Why are you still willing to take me with you? Do you know that if I die, the Golden Phoenix Gu will belong to you. From then on, you will be immune to all poisons, have an extraordinary memory, and some people may even achieve great martial arts..."
He Zhaojun pulled off the scarf from her face and covered Long Feibai's mouth with it. "Stop talking. Why would I need that thing?! Since you said that this Gu has such a nature, I think you will be affected and feel that you have other thoughts about me. I can't blame you."
"As for Wang Yanji," He Zhaojun turned her head to look at the person who was gradually being engulfed by the sea of fire. She left without any regrets. "When I still have the strength to save her, I will choose to save her. But between you and her, I don't have to choose."
She carried Long Feibai on her back and struggled to move out of the secret room. Cold sweat gradually seeped out of her forehead. "Long Feibai, hurry up, get back and close the door."
The moment Long Feibai closed the door, a very violent explosion was heard in the secret room. Even though the door was blocking them, the two were still knocked to the ground by the air wave and rolled to the side.
"Young Lady is here! Young Master Long is here!" The He family's followers and the black-armored guards nearby discovered the two men's whereabouts, shouted and came nearby, lifted the two men onto stretchers, and ran to a safe place.
Shao Shang heard someone shouting that He Zhaojun had been found, so he hurried over. However, the moment he saw He Zhaojun, he burst into tears.
He Zhaojun was covered with a white sheet, lying motionless on a stretcher. Part of her hair was burnt off, and her face was covered in black ash. It was unknown whether she was alive or dead.
"Sister Zhaojun! Sister Zhaojun! Don't die... wow..."
He Zhaojun forced herself to open her eyes, reached out and pulled Shao Shang's arm: "I'm not dead, why are you crying?" Her outer robe had just been burned in the secret room, and her skirt was full of holes. There was no material here, and no one dared to take off their clothes to give to He Zhaojun, so they simply tore off a large piece of uncut bandage and covered He Zhaojun with it.
But who knew that, from a distance, Shao Shang thought He Zhaojun was dead. The guard beside him rubbed the back of his head, looked around, and pretended that it was not his bad idea.
Shao Shang wiped his tears and handed her a relatively clean outer robe: "Sister Zhaojun, please don't scare me like this again. I felt so sad when I thought you were dead."
