Wei Li was completely confused at first, but gradually, he smelled an extremely pleasant fragrance. When this fragrance entered his nose, it actually brought an inexplicable feeling of comfort to his body.
The next moment, he stared at Wei Jie with eyes wide open in astonishment, his voice full of excitement that he could not conceal: "What, what is this fragrance?"
"You'll know in a moment. Let's see the situation first. We don't know if this fragrance will have any effect on them."
At Wei Jie's signal, the surroundings fell into silence in an instant, and in a short while, the stench from the zombies' mouths had gradually been swallowed up by the fragrance.
As the fragrance spread, the two zombies that were on the verge of frenzy miraculously calmed down and even slowly closed their eyes.
This scene brought great excitement to everyone, but they did not dare to speak and immediately turned their expectant eyes to Shangguan Qingxi.
As time passed, more and more people gathered to guard the place. Before I knew it, Liuying and Ruyan also joined in.
While bathing in this scent, not only did everyone's tired bodies recover, but even their lost strength was gradually restored.
What excited everyone the most was Shangguan Qingxi’s benefits.
Her face was already covered with corpse spots that were gradually beginning to decay, but under the influence of this fragrance, the spots gradually faded away.
From dawn to dusk, Wei Jie and Wei Li stayed by Shangguan Qingxi's side, constantly observing her changes.
"It seems that her attack has been temporarily contained, but I checked her pulse and the corpse poison has not been eliminated yet."
Three days passed in a flash, and the fragrance gradually began to fade. By the morning of the fourth day, it had completely disappeared.
Wei Li panicked for a moment, but Master Zihe stroked his beard and said, "It seems that Miss Yuan is about to wake up."
After three days and four nights of devouring, has the corpse poison in her body finally been devoured?
Sure enough, an hour later, Ling Yuan finally opened his eyes.
When Ling Yuan saw Wei Jie, with a stubble on his face, holding her hand and looking at her with surprise, she was stunned for a moment.
She slowly reached out her hand and stroked his chin: "You look so haggard, what's wrong?"
Ling Yuan's throat was dry and uncomfortable because she hadn't drunk water for several days. Wei Jie handed her a cup of tea without hesitation: "Drink a glass of water first. How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Ling Yuan took Wei Jie's hand and drank the water in gulps. She licked her lips with satisfaction.
Wei Jie immediately poured another cup over, and this time he drank it more slowly, "Do you want more?"
Seeing that she had finished drinking, Wei Jie asked softly.
Ling Yuan shook her head and tried to sit up, but she didn't expect that this movement would touch the wound on her right arm. She gasped in pain: "Hiss, it hurts!"
Wei Jie quickly walked around behind her and held her in his arms with his broad shoulders.
The sudden masculine scent made Ling Yuan stiffen for a moment, but Wei Jie didn't intend to take care of her feelings. After pressing her into his arms, he asked again: "Are you okay?"
Ling Yuan nodded blankly, "Well, it's okay. What happened to my arm..."
But halfway through her words, the last scene before she fainted immediately emerged in her mind. Oh my god, it was Hong Xie. She was attacked by Hong Xie and the eldest prince's men.
She was bitten, she was bitten by the big monster Hong Xie. When she thought of this, her face turned pale in an instant, but unfortunately her face was dark and it couldn't be seen.
But when she thought of the person behind her, she immediately pulled his arm and pushed her out: "Go away, stay away from me, I was bitten, I was bitten by that monster Hong Xie."
Wei Jie was startled by her violent movements. When he heard what she said, his heart warmed: "Girl, you are fine now."
"How is this possible?" Ling Yuan widened her eyes. Wei Jie had no choice but to tell her briefly what had happened.
After hearing this, Ling Yuan was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth tightly: "Actually, there is such a thing?"
"Besides your arm, is there anything else that's uncomfortable?" Ling Yuan shook her head. "I will wake up only when I'm almost fully recovered. I'm in good spirits now. Except for the pain in my arm, everything else is fine."
Seeing that she was fine, Wei Jie breathed a sigh of relief, "Then can you go outside to see someone now?"
"See someone? Who?"
Wei Jie stared straight into her eyes, "Shangguan Qingxi."
Ling Yuan was slightly stunned, and then asked: "What happened to her? Was she bitten?"
"Well, if it weren't for the fragrance emanating from your body, I'm afraid you would have turned into a corpse by now."
Ling Yuan raised her eyebrows, "She... is very important to you?"
Wei Jie pursed his lips and stared into her eyes. Under her expectant gaze, he finally chose to nod: "It's very important."
"How important is it?"
To what extent?
Wei Jie was a little stunned, "You..."
"If you want to save her, you must answer this question. If she and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?"
As soon as this question came, Wei Jie was dumbfounded, "Girl, it's already this time, why are you still asking these questions? Our lives are at stake now, let's first,"
"Why do you think I will save her? And why do you think I can definitely save her?"
"I……,"
Wei Jie obviously didn't understand why she was entangled in these questions as soon as she woke up. He intuitively thought that this was a little woman throwing a tantrum, and immediately stood up calmly: "I won't answer such meaningless questions of yours. You were obviously fine, why did you fall into the water? Besides, you all have martial arts skills, so there is no need for me to make such a difficult choice!"
"You, don't you want to save her?"
Ling Yuan was so angry that she just sat on the bed and acted like a spoiled brat. Seeing her like this, Wei Jie couldn't help but sneered, "Are you threatening me?"
"Do you think that no one else can save her except you? Ling Yuan, when did you become like this? You used to be so kind, why did you start to act like a spoiled brat after waking up?"
"I, I'm not, I just, just," Ling Yuan muttered for a long time without being able to explain the reason. She simply clenched her fists and glared at him, "Let me ask you, what is your relationship with Shangguan Qingxi? Why are you so worried about her?"
"Didn't I tell you that it doesn't matter. What kind of relationship can there be between us?"
"You must be kidding me. Who was so worried about her during the Four-Party Grand Gathering? Who was the one who kept guarding her in the formation? Also, when she was at Prince Rong's mansion, you personally sent her there. And that night, she went to your Youyue Tower alone. Do you think I didn't know?"
"So what? What does this prove? You," he paused, then looked at Ling Yuan in surprise, "You, are you jealous?"
Ling Yuan's face froze, and she turned away awkwardly, snorting coldly: "Will I be jealous of you? Haha, will I be jealous of you? Wei Jie, do you think this is possible?"
"If it's not the case, why are you so nervous?"
"Who, who said I was nervous? I just can't stand her, is that okay?"
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is. Then can you go see her now? If you don't go, she will really become a poisonous person. I will explain everything about her to you slowly later, okay? My Phoenix Princess?"
It has to be said that at the critical moment, someone's words "my Phoenix Princess" played a crucial role.
Ling Yuan was pleased by these words. She snorted coldly and raised her chin proudly: "You only realize my importance now?"
Wei Jie immediately extended his hands and clasped his fists to bow to her: "I'm counting on you, okay?"
"Hmph, that's better." Seeing that she was finally willing to get off the bed, Wei Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As Wei Jie helped her out, Ling Yuan was grabbed by a sudden figure. When she saw who it was, she immediately frowned, "What are you doing?"
"Is it Princess Feng? Please, check on her. She's twitching again, and the corpse spots on her face are back."
Wei Li coughed a few times due to excitement. Seeing how nervous he was about Shangguan Qingxi, Ling Yuan subconsciously raised her eyebrows: "Who are you?"
Wei Jie calmly separated the two of them and said to her, "He is Wei Li."
"Prince Li from the Rong Palace?"
"That's me."
"Okay, don't be nervous, I'll show her right away."
When she saw the surroundings clearly, she opened her mouth in surprise, "Why, why are there so many people?"
When she looked up again, the situation in the palace made her even more dumbfounded, but Wei Jie did not give her time to digest the news: "Hurry up and show it to her. It's okay. I'll explain it to you later."
"Then tell me, how long have I been unconscious?"
"Three days and four nights." Three days and four nights? That means three full days have passed since August 15th?
My God, what terrible things happened in these three days that caused the entire palace, oh no, even the entire capital city, to be in such a state of desolation?
The billowing thick smoke clearly showed the result of a fierce battle?
However, she didn't have time to think about these things, because she could clearly feel their expectations in everyone's eyes.
She put her hand on Shangguan Qingxi's pulse, closed her eyes, and felt it with her heart.
