【208】The dust has settled



Ling Ji storms away!!!

If it weren't for the fact that his third brother's face was really hard to deal with, he really wanted to slap him to wake him up!

Unfortunately, he is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. Even his adoptive father and elder brother are afraid of him, so how dare he provoke him?

So, after swaying a few times, Ling Jifeng, who looked frustrated, scratched his hair in a muffled voice and glared at him angrily: "Speak!"

That expression shows how aggrieved it is.

Wei Jiexuan raised his eyebrows slightly. Although his face remained expressionless, a rare smile appeared in his eyes.

"Second brother, this is my token. After returning to Beijing, you can do this..."

More than half an hour later, Wei Jie finished his instructions, sat up from the ground, and looked at Ling Jifeng who was hanging his head: "After the matter is done, I will give you a surprise."

Ling Jifeng immediately raised his head, his face full of excitement that he couldn't hide, which made Wei Jie speechless.

Can't the second brother be a little more mature?

It made him sometimes really think that he was out to take care of the children.

"You'll know when the time comes. Don't worry, I guarantee it'll be what you like."

Ling Jifeng didn't give up and chased him and asked, "You have to tell me, what aspect is it?"

Wei Jie continued expressionlessly: "Of course it's my second brother's favorite."

"You'll die if you tell me the truth!"

Wei Jie didn't bother to pay attention to him. He stood up and glanced at the situation around him. "Are you okay?"

Ling Jifeng snorted coldly, "I, your second brother, am not so stupid that I can't even find the way home."

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, second brother. The situation in the Never-Sleeping City is a bit tricky, so I'll leave first."

When Ling Jifeng heard this, he stood up and said, "Hey, you heartless person, your old illness has been cured, so what are you going to do next? If there is a breakthrough, won't you..."

Wei Jie paused, then walked down the mountain calmly. In the midst of Ling Jifeng's irritable voice, he lazily replied, "Don't worry, your third brother is not so stupid that he can't handle such a small matter."

When Ling Jifeng heard him repeating his words back to him, he couldn't help but roll his eyes to the sky.

"This damn boy is becoming more and more disrespectful."

Although he seemed to be complaining, the pity in his eyes was so obvious.

When Wei Jie returned to the City That Never Sleeps, it was already daybreak. He also saw the situation outside the City That Never Sleeps clearly on his way back.

Fortunately, everything was well-supplied in the city that never sleeps. After being worried and frightened for several days, everyone was exhausted. Even at dawn, it was as quiet as night.

After learning that Gongzi Yan really dealt with that monster Baili Fu, Wei Jie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise: "This Gongzi Yan is worthy of being the young lord of the Never-Sleeping City. Although he is young, he is very courageous. Not bad!"

"The key is that the formation of this Never Sleeps City is powerful enough to turn Baili Fu into bloody water. In the end, the bloody water was even evaporated. This is really not something that ordinary people can do."

"What do you think they rely on to make the Dragon Empire fear them?"

Wei Jie narrowed his eyes, looked at the environment of the city that never sleeps, and stroked his chin: "Next, I'm afraid there will be a tough battle to fight. You guys, have a good rest."

"How are the rest of the people doing now?"

Qingchen frowned, "They were isolated in City No. 1. They said they would make arrangements after Miss Li's antidote is developed."

When Wei Jie suggested Li Yuan, his expression softened slightly, "She is still in seclusion?"

"Miss Li has not come out since she went in that day. Fortunately, she has consumed all the food that was delivered to her every day. It seems that she will not come out until the antidote is developed."

"Where is Gongzi Yan?"

"This young city lord went to bed last night. I'm afraid he hasn't gotten up yet! Your Majesty, we don't have anything to do here. Why don't you go and rest as well?"

Wei Jie rubbed his swollen temples and nodded, "Then I'll leave this to you. If you need anything, just go and wake me up."

In this way, the silence of the City That Never Sleeps lasted for three whole days. No matter how crazy and screaming the zombies outside were, the City That Never Sleeps was as quiet as the night, without a sound.

Finally, three days later, Gongzi Yan and Wei Jie walked out of the room, and they made powerful deployments against the zombies outside the city.

Of course, the formation outside the City That Never Sleeps played a decisive role this time.

They only need to throw some bloody meat in the middle of the outer formation, and they will swarm in like hungry wolves and tigers. Then, they can be easily led to the formation where they want them to stay.

Compared to Bailifu, these ordinary zombies are really easy to deal with. After they are blocked and wiped out wave by wave, the zombie corpses left behind will be eaten by the next wave of zombies.

Until the sun set, the last wave of zombies turned into blood.

In the middle of the night, strong winds blew violently and heavy rain suddenly arrived, completely washing away the bloody and filthy air lingering in the city that never sleeps.

The next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up. The people in the city that never sleeps were relieved of their worries. They boldly took to the streets and began to repair the damaged houses and buildings.

Li Yuan, who had been in seclusion for nearly five days, walked out of the pharmacy tiredly on this sunny morning.

The dazzling sunlight made her head feel dizzy and heavy after being silent in the dark for so many days. She staggered a bit, and finally leaned softly against the door frame, sitting on the ground without caring about her image.

"Ah, the warm sunshine is so comfortable, and the air is so fresh. It seems that everything that needs to be solved has been solved!"

Li Yuan showed a rare look of relief on her face. Coincidentally, at this moment, Wei Jie and Gongzi Yan, who had heard the news, came into her sight.

She held her chin and smiled as she watched them walk towards her with a leisurely pace.

Gongzi Yan and Wei Jie also noticed her relieved expression. After they stood still, they asked in unison, "What happened?"

The corners of Li Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, and her black and white eyes sparkled with the confidence that she could live up to everyone's expectations.

"You have all completed your mission, so I naturally cannot fall behind. Don't worry, the antidote has been developed, and everyone will become immune. Even if we encounter such a monster again in the future, we don't need to worry about infection."

Gong Ziyan rarely smiled, "Miss Kang Qi, you really didn't disappoint me."

Wei Jie noticed that she was tired and her eyes were bloodshot, and said hurriedly: "Since everything is going so smoothly, you should take a good rest for a few days, and leave the rest to us."

Li Yuan stood up with some difficulty, holding onto the door frame, and nodded unceremoniously at the two of them, "In that case, I'll leave the rest to you."

Gongzi Yan nodded, "Don't worry,"

"The dosage ratio and medicine are all in there. Go check them out later and distribute one pill to each person. If there's not enough, I'll refine it after I've rested. There's no need to rush."

"So, are these drugs useful for those who are already virus carriers?"

Li Yuan naturally did not forget those people. "They have what I specially extracted, which is placed in boxes with labels. Distribute those to them. I will go and check again after I have rested."

It seems that Li Yuan had arranged everything before opening this door.

Gongzi Yan was becoming more and more appreciative of her clean and efficient style of doing things.

"However, there is still something I would like to ask the young city lord,"

Gongzi Yan narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows, "I know what you want to ask, but there is no rush now. Let's talk about it in detail after you have rested. How about it?"

Li Yuan raised the corner of her lips and nodded, "In that case, I'll leave everything to you."

Li Yuan lived up to everyone's expectations and developed the antidote without any surprises. That means the haze that had been troubling each of their hearts was completely resolved.

When the antidote was distributed to Li Hongtao, he was so excited that tears streamed down his face and he kept expressing his gratitude to Qingchen.

Qingchen looked at him with mockery on his face: "The one you really have to thank is not us, but your daughter. If it weren't for her, you would have become one of those monsters blocking the city sooner or later."

After Li Hongtao swallowed the antidote, he immediately felt a sense of clarity flowing through his blood and meridians, making him feel extremely comfortable.

Hearing Qingchen's words, he rarely said anything sarcastic, but instead asked, "What about Li Yuan?"

"I'm overworked and have to rest now," she said, not wanting to communicate with him, and walked towards the others with the pills in her hand.

After he left, Li Hongtao's face, which was originally filled with gratitude, suddenly changed, and his eyes were filled with gloom and ridicule.

gratitude?

Why should he be grateful to a daughter who wished he was dead every minute?

Everything he had today was thanks to her, and she was able to give him the antidote out of consideration for themselves.

Why should I be grateful?

Li Yuan, haha, I have underestimated your extremely ugly daughter.

Since you are so capable, perhaps I really have to do something to make it worthwhile to raise you.

In a blink of an eye, another three days passed. The weather was getting colder and colder. Every autumn rain brought cooler weather. Unconsciously, the originally yellow trees gradually became bare.

Li Yuan slept for three days and two nights. She stretched herself with a stiff body, walked out of the door, stood in the yard, and watched her breath coming out unconsciously. She stamped her cold feet and rubbed her hands, "Why is it cold all of a sudden?"

"Counting the days on the road, we've been out for almost three months. Isn't it winter now? How was your rest?"

The sudden familiar voice made Li Yuan, who was blowing on her hands, turn around hastily, "Brother Su, why are you here?"

"My sister Yuan is so amazing. She has solved the worries that have been bothering everyone. Naturally, I have to come and thank her."

Su Yu was still wearing a white brocade robe. With a warm smile, he looked at the little girl who was running towards him and touched her head.

"Brother Su will make fun of me. This time it's not just my credit. Compared to Gongzi Yan, what I did is much worse! But fortunately, the result is good. I believe it won't be long before we can leave here."

Su Yu pinched her chubby little black face and asked, "What? Are you missing home?"

Li Yuan nodded, "I thought about it. This time I realized that everyone has to return to their roots. No matter how good this place is, it is not my home, nor is it an environment I am familiar with. After staying here for a long time, all the novelty has faded, and I want to return to my own nest more and more."

"You're right. A nest of gold or silver is not as good as our straw nest. However, there is no news about them yet, and I don't know."

"Don't worry, Brother Su, it will be solved."

It seems that Su Yu still doesn't know that all their people have been taken away by Gongzi Yan. It's time to talk to him.

"By the way, how are Yang Su and Hong Xie?"

Baili Fu is dead, what about Yang Su and Hong Xie?

"Maybe he escaped during the chaos. The black area is already deserted."

Li Yuan's face changed, and there was a chill in his eyes: "This Hong Xie is not dead, it's like a time bomb, it will bring us endless troubles at any time. Really, we should have killed him at that time. How come no one of us thought of such an important thing?"

"At that time, everyone was only concerned about Baili Fu. Who would pay attention to him, a dying man? By the way, is it possible for him to cure the poison you gave him?"

Li Yuan shook her head. "It's hard to say."

Everything in the world is interdependent and mutually exclusive. She can even make an antidote for such a troublesome poison as zombie poison. Although the poison made from pure black body fluids has certain limitations, it is not impossible to find an antidote if she meets an expert among experts.

"Even if he does, he'll still have to suffer a lot."

When Hei Chun's unhurried voice sounded in his mind, Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "I don't know how many layers of skin he has shed."

"How can you still laugh? If he really gets better, won't you have another powerful opponent?"

Li Yuan didn't take it seriously. "Brother, that's wrong. The art of medicine and poison is a never-ending journey. Having an opponent like Hong Xie can constantly motivate me to move forward, and the same goes for him."

Since you are alive, live a good life for me. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of all the suffering she has endured these days?

There has to be a time to settle this grudge.

"Okay, after talking so much, you must be hungry. Come on, eat something to fill your stomach."

Li Yuan then noticed that her brother Su came with a food box. When she saw the food box, her stomach immediately started growling.

"Brother Su is really considerate of me. That's great. I haven't had enough of the delicious food in this city that never sleeps. Come on, let me see what delicious food you brought."

Just as Li Yuan opened the food box, a deep voice came over with a chill, "It seems that I came at a very unfortunate time!"

Li Yuan's attention was forced to be drawn away from the food. She looked up and saw that Wei Jie was also here with a food box?

But isn't this expression a little too gloomy? How can someone who comes to see her, who is so weak, use such a cold expression?

"Phoenix King? Oh, I have something to eat today. Are you here to bring me food? Come on, bring it here. Let me see what you brought."

As he said that, he grabbed the food box in Wei Jie's hand.

Unexpectedly, Wei Jie, who was dressed in a black brocade robe, suddenly picked up the food box and glanced at Su Yu behind Li Yuan, "Who said this is for you?"

Li Yuan was slightly stunned, and subconsciously bit the chopsticks in her hand, "It's not for me? If it's not for me, why did you bring it to me?"

"My lord, I am just passing by, is that not okay?"

Wei Jie glanced at her face expressionlessly, "It seems that you slept well this time. At least your energy is back. Look, you even have time to flirt with someone?"

The corners of Li Yuan's mouth twitched, as if she was frightened by his words, and she rubbed her arms vigorously.

"Emma, ​​Your Highness, don't you think that using this word on me is an insult? Look at my face, who do you think would be interested in me? And you're still talking about 'flirting'? Haha, thank you. I'm really flattered that someone thinks highly of me!"

As she said that, she glared at Wei Jie and curled her lips in disdain: "If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. I don't want it. I have what Brother Su brought me. It won't matter if I don't eat yours!"

Wei Jie's handsome eyebrows moved slightly, and when Li Yuan just sat down and was about to pick up the braised pork she had been longing for for a long time, a gust of palm wind suddenly swept over.

After a series of crisp "clatter" sounds of plates falling to the ground, the four dishes and one soup originally placed in front of Li Yuan had disappeared.

Poor Li Yuan was still picking up food, and the only thing left was the piece of steaming braised pork on the tip of her chopsticks.

She swallowed hard, her eyes blazing with fire, and turned little by little to meet a man who was sighing beside her: "Oh, what a pity, a good table of food is gone just like that, how could you be so careless!"

Li Yuan: ...
