Chapter 211: I Believe in Her
Li Yuan lowered his eyes to look at the alluring orchid blooming in her palm and said coldly, "Prisoner Orchid."
There were no corpses left at the scene, as they had all been eaten by the Prisoner Orchid, but the bloodstains on the ground told Li Yuan and Jiang Bai everything that had just happened.
Jiang Bai picked up a piece of white cloth that was left on the ground, examined it for a moment, and frowned, saying, "It's from the Holy Sect!"
Li Yuan stared at the deep, almost bone-revealing wound on her right shoulder, a flash of murderous intent crossing his purple eyes.
His hand rested on Ye Fei's right shoulder, his palm gathering dark spiritual energy, drawing out all the light spiritual energy remaining in her body.
With this movement, blood flowed out again, and Ye Fei, who had already fainted and lost consciousness, couldn't help but let out a soft groan.
Li Yuan felt extremely distressed. He took out a pill and tried to put it into Ye Fei's mouth, but Ye Fei's jaw was tightly closed, and the pill could not be put in smoothly.
Without hesitation, Li Yuan put the pill into his mouth, then cupped the girl's cheeks, pressed his thin lips to her pale lips, and easily pried open her tightly closed teeth with his tongue to push the pill into her mouth.
Jiang Bai silently turned away, sighing. Single people can't stand this kind of scene…
The medicine took effect quickly; although the wound had not fully healed, it had stopped bleeding.
Li Yuan held the girl's fragile body tightly, using his own body heat to warm her.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Sect has injured the Empress. Should your subordinate and Li Yu go and teach them a lesson?" Jiang Bai turned around and respectfully knelt on one knee facing Li Yuan.
Li Yuan remained silent, and Jiang Bai, not hearing the Emperor's reply, naturally dared not rise.
After a while, Li Yuan said coldly, without any expression, "No need."
Jiang Bai was surprised and puzzled: "...Your Excellency?"
“The Holy Sect has offended her, and given her temperament, she won’t like me getting involved in this matter.” Li Yuan gently brushed the strands of hair from the girl’s face, his eyes filled with tenderness.
He was dumbfounded. My God?!
Look at those eyes, listen to that tone of voice—is this really the same Demon Lord of their Demon Realm, who is known as the only one worthy of respect, cruel and bloodthirsty?!
After a quarter of an hour of silence, Bai finally found his voice: "Your Majesty, shall we leave this matter to the Empress?"
But the Empress is only a level six spiritual master... The lowest level cultivator in the Holy Sect is at least a Spirit Emperor. How can the Empress fight against the Holy Sect?
“Of course she can,” Li Yuan said calmly, glancing up at Jiang Bai. “Everything that happened here just now was done by her.”
Jiang Bai was still somewhat skeptical: "But this is also the Prisoner Orchid..."
“If the host hadn’t harbored murderous intent, the parasitic plant couldn’t have done this.” Li Yuan added, his slender fingers gently stroking Ye Fei’s cheek, a slight smile playing on his lips: “She will definitely become a powerful figure on par with me in the future, I believe in her.”
Jiang Bai no longer had any doubts: "It was your subordinate who acted presumptuously. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
“You do deserve to be punished.” Li Yuan glanced coldly at Jiang Bai. “Although you informed me in time using the communication stone, you failed to protect the Empress.”
"I sent you to secretly follow the Empress, not so that you would only realize you need to protect her when something happens to her."
Bai Moming felt a powerful force firmly binding his limbs and bones. Startled, he exclaimed, "It was my mistake that caused the Emperor and Empress to be injured! I am willing to accept any punishment!"
A flicker of light appeared in Li Yuan's purple eyes. This was precisely the time when manpower was needed, and they also needed to continue monitoring the movements of Jing Ji...
