Chapter 331: His Highness the Holy Emperor
Huang Rongyu tried hard to recall what had happened before she fainted—
He saw Xiao Fei suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and then fall from a great height. Without hesitation, he flew over and caught her. Afterward, they both fell off the cliff.
They were falling too fast. He managed to grab a branch that had grown out, but the branch couldn't support their weight and broke, causing them to fall again.
At this point, he realized he was very close to the bottom of the cliff. He saw a slope, so he kicked a nearby rock and used the momentum to fall onto the slope.
He was worried that Xiao Fei would get hurt again, so he held her tightly in his arms and chose to land on his back.
They rolled down the slope, the loose rocks constantly chafing his back as he rolled, until finally he landed safely, and he completely lost consciousness.
Despite the pain in his back, Huang Rongyu picked up Ye Fei and, whether it was his imagination or not, felt the body temperature of the person in his arms gradually cooling down.
"Xiao Fei, hang in there a little longer..."
Blood seeped from the wound on the boy's forehead and flowed down his face.
Blood blurred his vision, almost blinding Huang Rongyu, but he dared not let go and carried Ye Fei for a long distance, leaving a shocking trail of blood along the path he had walked.
There was a cave ahead. Huang Rongyu was already struggling to hold on, but he forced himself to carry Ye Fei into the cave.
A black figure loomed vaguely before her eyes, and at that moment, the last nerve in Huang Rongyu's taut brain snapped.
"Help..." Huang Rongyu's vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground unconscious before she could finish speaking.
A handsome man with black hair slowly turned around. His skin was so white it was almost inhuman. He wore a bamboo-green headband, and his eyes were emerald green with slit-like pupils. He wore a dark black robe, the fabric of which reflected light and revealed patches of silver scales.
"Qingzhu, what was that sound just now?" A clear, cold female voice rang out.
The man slowly walked toward a young woman dressed in a fiery red battle robe. The woman sat cross-legged on a giant rock that rose from the ground, with her back to him.
The man bowed with a cold expression: "Your Highness, these are two injured humans. Should Qingzhu throw them out of the cave?"
"Humans?" Chi Ye's voice suddenly turned even colder, a hint of hatred flashing in his golden eyes: "Kill them first, then throw them away."
"Yes, ma'am."
Just as Qingzhu turned to make her move, Chiye suddenly sensed something unusual and spoke again: "Wait a minute!"
Qingzhu paused slightly, and Chiye stood up and leaped down from the boulder, quickly walking towards the boy and girl lying on the ground.
The girl's face was obscured by her hair. Chi Ye crouched down and reached out to brush away the strands, revealing a familiar face: "...Ye Fei?!"
Qingzhu was surprised that his prince would call out the name of a human girl. A hint of astonishment appeared on his usually calm face: "Your Highness, do you know her?"
"She is the human girl who helped me in the Chaotic Cloud Gorge last time."
As Chi Ye explained, he helped Ye Fei up, and lifted her sleeve to check her pulse, only to find a black line on her wrist.
"This is... Soul-Stealing Sand?" Chi Ye examined the girl's pulse, then narrowed his eyes. How could she have been poisoned by such a vicious poison?
Soul-Snatching Sand is a highly poisonous substance made from a mixture of seven kinds of poisonous insects and corpse poison. Those poisoned will develop a deadly line on their body. Once the deadly line connects to the heart, even a god cannot save them!
