Chapter 97: Let Me Explain
Ye Fei gritted her teeth and raised her left hand in her fading consciousness. The Prisoner Orchid hidden in her wrist sensed that its host was in danger and quickly appeared, climbing up her fingers. The thorny branches struck Li Yuan's face hard with a snap!
A stinging pain shot through his face, and Li Yuan stopped moving, the purple light in his eyes slowly fading.
The metallic sweetness in his mouth startled him slightly. By the time he fully regained consciousness, Ye Fei had already passed out.
Li Yuan wiped away the wound on his cheek caused by the branches of the Prisoner of Bones Orchid. When he lowered his eyes, he saw that Ye Fei not only had a pinch mark on her neck, but also two bloody holes pierced by fangs.
The oozing bright red blood stung Li Yuan's eyes, and images flashed through his mind.
His fiery poison suddenly flared up, and he completely lost his mind. He was the one who hurt Ye Fei...
With a slightly flustered expression, Li Yuan checked Ye Fei's breathing. Noticing her weak breaths, he tore off several strips of cloth from his inner garment without hesitation and immediately bandaged her wounds.
He then took out a pill from the ring and put it into Ye Fei's mouth until her complexion improved slightly, at which point Li Yuan completely relaxed.
"sorry."
Li Yuan gently stroked the wound on the girl's neck, murmuring softly, his eyes filled with unyielding guilt.
The last Nine-Turn Ice Jade Pill I took was the last one, but the dosage was insufficient to suppress the inflammation and poison.
Li Yuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. Besides Qiu Yu, who else in the world could help him refine a pill to suppress the Flame Poison?
Not long after, Ye Fei woke up.
She sat up abruptly, but accidentally aggravated the injury on her neck, causing her to hiss involuntarily.
When Li Yuan saw that she was awake, he immediately helped her up: "Lie down for a while longer, don't rush to get up."
Ye Fei stared intently into Li Yuan's eyes. The purple in his eyes had disappeared, and he had returned to being the aloof young man he once was.
Her gaze was filled with a variety of complex emotions, and Li Yuan knew he couldn't hide it any longer. He sighed inwardly and said, "You... let me explain."
Ye Fei sat up straight, her hand resting on the wound on her neck, and said, "Tell me, I'm listening."
“I was not conscious when I hurt you,” Li Yuanyi said succinctly. “The flaming poison in my body would make me lose my mind and become a monster controlled by killing… So, I did not mean to hurt you.”
“Then your eyes…” Ye Fei glanced at his dark and deep black eyes and frowned: “When you were poisoned, I saw that your eyes turned purple.”
Li Yuan was silent for a few seconds: "My eyes were originally purple, but I changed them to black just to hide my body."
Ye Fei looked at the boy meaningfully: "You're not human?"
“No,” Li Yuan answered decisively, “I cannot tell you my true identity right now.”
Ye Fei didn't insist; she knew very well that he was protecting her.
Her cultivation level was not high enough to allow her to know other things, whether it was about her mother or about Li.
"Then you didn't take any medicine to suppress the poisoning?" Ye Fei asked again.
"I've finished eating," Li Yuan said innocently.
Ye Fei: "..."
Ye Fei: "Are you kidding me? With such a severe poisoning, you wouldn't have any supplies left?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan shook his head, a half-smile appearing on his handsome face: "The guy who's refining pills for me refuses to come out of seclusion. If I force him, it will only result in mutual destruction."
Ye Fei pondered for a moment, then a sly smile appeared on her lips: "How about I become the alchemist and help you refine a pill to suppress the poisoning?"
