"How could I not have it? You've been at odds with me for so many years, do you think I wouldn't know what you're up to?" Yun Jianyue was anxious, assuming that the other party was reluctant to give her the medicine. "You wouldn't still be trying to spite me at this point, would you?"
Yan Xuehen didn't know how to explain, so she could only say coldly, "No means no, why are there so many questions?"
Yun Jianyue gritted her teeth in anger: "You bastard, if you don't want me to eat it, fine, you can eat it yourself, but first get rid of this disgusting worm!"
The two were, after all, grandmasters, with astonishing cultivation. Even though they were both injured and ambushed by this strange insect, they still managed to injure the insect by using all their trump cards.
However, after so much time, the Scaled Death Worm has slowly raised its body, clearly having recovered and is ready to launch a new offensive.
But the two of them were already exhausted and had no ability to resist anymore.
So Yun Jianyue backed down, thinking that even if she ended up in Yan Xuehen's hands, it would be better than being eaten by this disgusting worm.
To everyone's surprise, Yan Xuehen hesitated and remained motionless.
Yun Jianyue was stunned: "You don't really have it all?"
Yan Xuehen said angrily, "I've told you several times already, there wasn't any!"
She wasn't in a good mood either, thinking that she had given the life-saving medicine to Zu'an, and that guy was probably already far away with another woman, living a carefree and happy life.
How could he possibly know how much he had sacrificed for him?
The moment the thought crossed her mind, she was startled and immediately straightened her face, thinking to herself, "I'll save whoever I want, and nobody else needs to know!"
Seeing her face turn red and white in turns, Yun Jianyue asked curiously, "I haven't heard of you being injured all these years, and with your cultivation level, it's unlikely you would need this medicine... Could it be that you're giving it to some young lover?"
Yan Xuehen, however, seemed to have her thoughts read and hurriedly denied it, saying, "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
At first, Yun Jianyue was just talking casually. After all, in her mind, this old rival was an ice queen who could never have feelings for love. But when she saw her big reaction and her anxious look was exactly the same as her lovestruck disciple, she immediately realized that this woman really had a lover.
"Tell me quickly, which extraordinary man in the world can conquer the heart of our Ice Stone Maiden? I never expected to receive such interesting news before I die. Dying won't be so lonely." Yun Jianyue knew that the two of them were doomed, and she accepted it all calmly. Her only curiosity was about who this man, Yan Xuehen, really was.
"Nonsense! There's no such extraordinary man!" As Yan Xuehen spoke, the image of Zu An flashed through her mind, making her feel both ashamed and angry. That bastard must have cast some kind of spell on her, leaving her in this state!
The scaled death worm in the distance was somewhat wary of the two women, after all, their counterattack had just caused it considerable damage.
Seeing them chatting and laughing there, it was momentarily puzzled, worried that they were deliberately faking it to lure it into attacking.
So they hesitated and didn't dare to attack.
But then it remembered that its attack must have severely injured the two of them, so after a while it couldn't hold back any longer.
If you don't attack yourself, you can send your men to probe first.
It made a strange, rapid cry, and then layers of soil rose up everywhere on the ground and walls, followed by small, dead worms bursting out of the ground.
The giant mother worm let out a series of cries at them, as if issuing some kind of command, and then tilted her body towards the direction where Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen were. The small worms burrowed into the soil and attacked the two women.
They are described as small worms, but that is only relative to the mother worm. Each one is ten or twenty meters long, and its sharp mouthparts are enough to tear a person to pieces.
The two women's expressions changed drastically, and they each took out their respective magical treasures, but they found that their injuries were too severe to activate their treasures.
Both women sighed inwardly. How proud they had been, how admired and powerful they were, yet this was how they had ended up dying.
At this moment, two death worms burst out of the ground, their mouthparts snapping shut instantly. The two women barely managed to muster the last bit of their cultivation to jump up and dodge this fatal blow.
But then several more worms burst out from the walls and above their heads. The two women no longer had the strength to dodge and could only desperately await their death as they fell.
However, the expected excruciating pain did not come; instead, I felt sharp sword energy.
The dead worms that attacked them were decapitated, their bodies convulsing, and green fluid oozing from their severed ends.
The two women were taken aback and looked at each other, each assuming the other still had energy left. But seeing the other's surprised expression, they knew they were wrong.
At that moment, the two strange insects that had been on the ground earlier shot up into the sky and lunged at them.
The two women tried to dodge, but they, who could usually arrive in an instant, now didn't even have the strength to move a finger.
Looking at the strange insect's ugly rings of teeth and the fishy smell emanating from its mouth, even the two women, who were indifferent to life and death, paled slightly.
However, they were not bitten by the two worms. Instead, they were enveloped in a warm and hot embrace. When they looked up, they saw a resolute and handsome face.
"It's you!"
The two women spoke at the same time, saying the same things, but their feelings were completely different.
Yun Jianyue was overjoyed. Not long ago, she thought he was dead. Now, not only did she see him, but he also saved her. She felt nothing but joy.
