Chapter 45 The Arrows Are Poisoned
"Assassins, there are more assassins..." Jiang Meng and the other guards, who had relaxed, immediately became alert again.
As the cold arrow struck her heart, her volatile personality vanished in an instant, and before Mu Xi's consciousness could return, it dissipated even further.
Mu Xun scooped Mu Xi up in his arms and ran towards the carriage, shouting without turning his head, "Doctor Luo, Doctor Luo..."
"Quick, get in the carriage!" Doctor Luo's voice came from behind.
The sound of arrows being deflected was constant, with clanging and clattering.
Mu Xi was unable to move, her consciousness retreating into the dark void: "Am I going to die?"
The fairy's persona flashed into existence: "Soul Master, Soul Master..."
Immediately afterwards, the three-year-old personality, the white-robed fairy personality, and the drunken personality all emerged.
Mu Xi vaguely saw several blurry figures hidden at the edge of the dark void, looking at her.
Finally, there's the hot-tempered individual who, realizing he's caused trouble, crouches down in a corner.
Just as Mu Xi was about to utter a curse, her consciousness suddenly began to rise uncontrollably, as if it were about to leave her body.
At this moment, outside the dark void, her body was being carried by Mu Xun, who was rushing towards the carriage.
Doctor Luo followed.
Mu Xun hugged Mu Xi tightly onto the carriage, and shouted to the outside of the carriage, "Jiang Meng, hurry, let's go, we're almost at Yangyi Altar."
"No..." Mu Xi tried to stop her, but her consciousness rose uncontrollably and her body could not move.
The three-year-old Xuan Nu personality was the first to sense something was wrong: "Oh no, if she dies, we'll all disappear with her."
The white-robed immortal turned around and said, "A shot to the heart meridian means certain death. Unless a divine intervention comes to save you again."
"It's 'spirit summoning' again. Don't you always consider yourself a 'divine messenger'? Why are you asking for divine intervention now?" The three-year-old personality switched back.
The white-robed immortal swayed: "A god... how can we mortals invite one so easily?"
"Pah, it's a wonder you always address me as 'This Prince,' but now that you're not here, what are we going to do?" The three-year-old personality forcibly turned around again.
...
Mu Xi had no interest in listening to this pair of "split personality" arguing.
From the darkness, another personality threw out a sentence: "The heart meridian is damaged and the soul is unstable. If any of us spirits were to sacrifice ourselves to stabilize the soul master's soul, perhaps the doctor outside would still have a chance?"
In short, the personalities began to discuss among themselves:
"Who, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves? Wouldn't that be scattering their very essence?"
"The essence originally comes from the soul, so what is this sacrifice? It's just returning it."
"Give it back? Are you going to give it back?"
"Why me? Why not you?"
"If the essence dissipates, it ceases to exist."
"If the Soul Master is lost, we will cease to exist as well."
"What if, like last time, a new Soul Master can be added?"
...
Mu Xi's consciousness drifted further and further away, and she gradually could no longer hear the words of these personalities.
I never thought I'd have to die again so soon?
It's ridiculous. Just now, she was still planning her "grand blueprint".
Life is truly unpredictable.
Mu Xi had no lingering attachment; after all, this character's personality was really unpleasant...
"I'll go." Just then, the voice of the fairy's personality came from below.
“Sister Fairy Maiden…” Mu Xi wanted to shake her head, but she couldn’t even move her soul. “Why die with her? Like some personality said, what if a new soul transmigrates here in a little while?”
However, the face of the fairy's personality had already appeared before my eyes.
mind to mind
Mu Xi then understood what the fairy's personality wanted to do, and she couldn't bear it: "No..."
Before the sound faded, the fairy maiden's personality gave a final, composed smile, transformed into a ball of white light, and flew into Mu Xi's heart.
The fairy's consciousness merged into Mu Xi's consciousness: "My existence was originally to accompany the former soul master and relieve his grief and worries. Now that the new soul master is a person with his own opinions and foresight, he does not need my spirit to accompany him. It would be better to go back with the former soul master and put an end to a long-held obsession."
"Who says I don't need it?" Mu Xi does have a strong and decisive side, but that doesn't mean she doesn't need emotional comfort.
The Fairy personality is the first and currently the only person in this world who makes her feel warm and reliable.
However, it no longer received a response from the fairy's consciousness and disappeared completely.
The next second, consciousness returned to her body, and Mu Xi unconsciously grabbed Mu Xun's clothes and opened her eyes.
Mu Xun was gripped by unprecedented panic: "Your Highness? My brother? How are you?"
"No... I can't look up... look up..." Mu Xi's chest heaved with pain, and she couldn't muster any strength to speak.
Fortunately, Mu Xun finally realized what was happening amidst the panic: "Right, we can't go to Yangyi Altar. This is an ambush, and there might be an ambush there already. Jiang Meng, stop the car, stop the car..."
Jiang Meng had only just started the carriage when he quickly pulled on the reins: "Whoa..."
"And... we can't go back the way we came..." Mu Xi was still worried, so she had to laboriously add the last half of the sentence.
“Yes, yes, yes… we can’t go back the way we came.” Mu Xun’s eyes were filled with a storm of emotions, and even the words that should have been silently recited in her heart were unconsciously uttered aloud, “Stay calm, stay calm, stay calm… Where to go, where to go, where to go… Where is it safe to go? Doctor Luo, how badly is she injured? Is it serious?”
Without answering, Doctor Luo's hands flew up and down, using a dagger to cut open the clothes around Mu Xi's arrow wound and insert several silver needles to seal several important meridians.
With the fairy's spirit protecting her heart, Mu Xi regained some of her strength. She should properly mourn the fairy's spirit, so she closed her eyes again, but…
A cry of alarm came from Doctor Luo: "Oh no, this arrow is poisoned..."
"What?" Mu Xun's voice began to tremble.
Mu Xi forced her eyes open again, which she had already closed. The excruciating pain in her chest and below her collarbone did not lessen, and the blood that was flowing out had turned black.
"Quickly find a place, I need to remove the arrow immediately so I can clear the poison." As Doctor Luo spoke, he inserted several more silver needles to seal acupoints somewhere.
“Jiang Meng…” Mu Xun’s eyes were bloodshot, and finally, as if he had thought of something, he shouted outside, “Jiang Meng, you drive, there should be a fork in the road ahead, I remember the farm is to the east…”
Before Mu Xun could finish speaking, Jiang Meng understood: "Yes, Second Young Master, rest assured, I know where that place is."
As wave after wave of increasingly fierce arrows rained down, the carriage finally started moving.
"You must hold on. The wound is to your heart, and it's extremely dangerous. You must not faint until I remove the arrow." As Doctor Luo spoke, he put another pill into Mu Xi's mouth, then deftly tore off a piece of his clothing to wipe the wound.
Mu Xi was in so much pain that she had difficulty breathing. She didn't know if it was because of the poison, but her wounds not only hurt but also felt like they were on fire. Gradually, she couldn't open her eyes anymore.
In a daze, I felt that Doctor Luo seemed to have stopped what he was doing and was anxiously whispering in my ear: "When will we get there? I need a stable place to remove the arrow. Although the silver needles can stop the bleeding now, the poison will still slowly seep in if the arrow is not removed. The longer it goes on, the more poison will seep in."
