Chapter 153: Domain
The boy's body temperature was high due to the inflammation, and the skin on his neck that he had touched became burning hot as well.
Ye Fei was startled and tried to dodge his hand, but unexpectedly, there was a cave wall behind her. As she tried to dodge, her back bumped hard.
A sharp pain shot through her back, causing her to fall forward uncontrollably.
Li Yuan quickly grabbed her hand, and she fell into his arms in a gesture of surrender.
A familiar, strange, cool fragrance wafted towards her. Ye Fei leaned against him, her heartbeat so close to hers that she couldn't help but hold her breath, barely daring to make a sound.
Li Yuan looked down at her cautious appearance, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He put one arm around her waist and removed his mask with the other. Ye Fei looked up at his pair of bright, sparkling purple eyes, like jewels, and pouted, "Li Yuan, is that your real name?"
Li Yuan nodded: "Mm."
"Also, just now Thorn called you something like 'Demon Lord,' you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Yuan suddenly clutched his head, his expression turning pained, and even his breathing became rapid.
Ye Fei immediately guessed that his inflammation had flared up, and alarm bells rang in her mind.
She wanted to run out of the cave and get away from him immediately, but the unusual fluctuations emanating from the nearby plants made her freeze.
Oh no! Mu Jingshen has caught up!
Ye Fei felt caught in a dilemma.
With Mu Jingshen in front and Li Yuan behind, she didn't want to get hurt because of Li Yuan's poisoning, but once she chose to step out of this cave, all the lies she told Mu Jingshen would be exposed!
At this moment, Li Yuan slightly opened his eyes. He seemed to sense someone approaching outside the cave. With a flick of his finger, dark spiritual energy quickly burst forth from his body and merged into the air, and a domain spread out in all directions from him.
Ye Fei stared in surprise at the area shrouded in a faint black mist, about to ask a question, but Li Yuan covered her mouth, making a shushing gesture.
...
Mu Jingshen stood outside the cave, his sharp gaze fixed on the empty entrance.
"That's strange." He frowned, his handsome face full of confusion. "I clearly sensed some movement over here..."
Could it be that he was mistaken?
Mu Jingshen pursed his lips, put his sword back into its sheath, and turned to leave without pausing.
Ye Fei hasn't been found yet. If she encounters that demon again, it will be very dangerous.
He had to rescue her before the demons killed her.
Mu Jingshen's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.
Inside the cave, Ye Fei sat against the wall, holding her breath. Li Yuan leaned on her shoulder, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and he looked weak.
She tugged at Li Yuan's sleeve and asked softly, "He's gone... How are you? Can you walk?"
Li Yuan straightened up with difficulty and shook his head slightly: "Not really."
Ye Fei touched his face; his body was very hot, indicating that the inflammation had begun to take effect…
Li Yuan opened his purple eyes, grabbed her wrist, and said breathlessly, "Leave here, don't...come any closer."
“Mu Jingshen is still looking for you, how can I just leave you alone?” Ye Fei frowned. “I will stay away from you, but at least I need to find a safe place for you to settle down first.”
"It's too late..."
The fiery poison within his body was gradually burning away his emotions and reason. Li Yuan gritted his teeth and barely managed to maintain his consciousness: "Right now, get away from me immediately, the farther the better!"
Ye Fei shook her head vigorously: "I won't..."
Before he could finish speaking, a soft touch suddenly came to his lips.
