"Huh?" Zuan was startled, feeling that this seemed a bit inappropriate.
"Don't move," Qiu Honglei said indistinctly, her head lowered, as she tucked the strands of hair that had fallen across her cheek behind her ear.
Zuan subconsciously sat up straight. It was very quiet around him, so quiet that he could only hear each other's soft breathing.
He could faintly smell the fragrance of her hair and the delicate scent of a young girl on her body. Of course, what he felt most deeply was her soft lips and her nimble tongue...
Ahem, what was I thinking? Calm down, calm down!
The two of them leaned against each other silently, Qiu Honglei spitting out mouthfuls of the poisonous blood she had sucked out.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she noticed that the color of the wound had completely turned back to normal red, Qiu Honglei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "The poisonous blood has been almost completely sucked out. Fortunately, the poison on Mosquito Daoist's fingernails wasn't too severe."
As Qiu Honglei spoke, she took out a bottle of medicine from her bosom and applied it to his wound, then tore off a piece of the clean lining of her skirt to bandage his wound.
Zuan took out a pot of water and handed it to her: "Here is some antidote powder. Dissolve it in the water and rinse your mouth, then take some. Don't let the poison get into your body."
Qiu Honglei did not refuse and drank the antidote without any doubt.
She was somewhat surprised that he had conjured a kettle out of thin air, but she quickly realized that he must have a spatial artifact. She didn't ask him anything, since these things were everyone's secret.
"Thank you~" Zuan said sincerely.
"Why thank me? You're the one who saved my life." Qiu Honglei smiled, her expression gentler than her usual practiced, formulaic smile.
“You just saved my life too,” Zuan laughed. “If you hadn’t sucked the poison out for me, I probably would have died from it much soon.”
Qiu Honglei stared at him blankly. This man was usually so unruly, but she never expected him to be so gentle and considerate. He was worried that she was still feeling guilty, so he said this to make up for it.
But what he did could hardly be considered a lifesaver. Even without her, the poison in his wounds would only torment him for a while longer, not cause him to die from the poison.
As she looked at Zuan, Zuan looked at her too. Looking at her moist red lips, he suddenly thought of the scene when she had sucked his wound just now. It was as if a slight electric current flowed through his body, a tingling sensation that was enough to make every cell in his body cheer.
It feels so good just to suck on one wound, imagine how good it would be to suck on other places...
He gazed at her luscious red lips and couldn't help but swallow. Because it was so quiet around him, the murmur, though not loud, was extremely noticeable.
Zuan subconsciously looked up at the other person, and their eyes met quickly.
Qiu Honglei's face suddenly turned red, and she spat out, "Vulgar!"
Then, embarrassed, he turned away.
Zuan: "..."
He protested his innocence, saying, "I just swallowed a mouthful of saliva and that's considered lewd? You must have misunderstood something."
Qiu Honglei snorted softly: "You know perfectly well what kind of nonsense you're thinking."
Zuan: "..."
This woman truly lives up to her reputation for having spent time at the Immortal Abode; she knows far more than the average young girl.
But anger aside, how can one not feel rage?
Hehehe~
Just then, a chilling laugh came from afar.
Both of them were startled. The ambiguous atmosphere between them just now vanished instantly, and they were both tense and on guard.
"What a pair of lovelorn lovers! Even while fleeing for their lives, they still find time to talk about love here."
The familiar voice of the Mosquito Taoist came from afar. At first, it seemed to be far away, but by the time he finished speaking the last word, it was right next to him.
The two looked up abruptly and saw a woman in an apricot-yellow Taoist robe standing on the treetop. The branch was not thick and could hardly support the weight of a person, even a petite woman.
However, Mosquito Taoist seemed to be as light as a feather, her toes lightly touching the treetops. As if due to the wind, the branches swayed up and down slowly, but she was not affected in the slightest while standing on them.
Qiu Honglei was shocked: "Where are my companions? Did you kill them all?"
Mosquito Taoist snorted: "I never leave any of my men alive."
As she said this, her face flushed. Although those wandering members of the Demonic Sect were not as skilled as her, they each had their own unique abilities. It would be difficult for her to kill them all at once if they joined forces. In addition, she was in a hurry to capture the two people, so she did not engage in a prolonged battle with them. Instead, she left some of her disciples and followers to deal with them and took the opportunity to catch up with them.
Her original form was transformed from a blood-winged black mosquito, which was naturally skilled at flying and much faster than humans of the same level, not to mention someone like Qiu Honglei from Zuan, who was far inferior to her.
In addition, she was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. Although the smell of blood in the air was faint when the two of them escaped, it could not be hidden from her nose.
So even though the two ran a long way, they were still easily caught up.
Zuan whispered, "Honglei, I'll do my best to hold her off for a while. You take the opportunity to run, preferably back to your uncle Lu Sanyuan. He should be able to protect you."
Qiu Honglei shook her head and gently took his hand: "I will fight the enemy with you."
Zuan panicked: "Are you stupid? She wants the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture on me. She won't kill me anytime soon, but she won't be so polite to you."
Qiu Honglei still didn't leave: "I won't abandon you. At worst, I'll wait for you on the road to the underworld."
