In her sleep, Chi Tang dreamed of Meng Kuo again.
I dreamt that Meng Kuo was lying in a dilapidated thatched hut, with no one to take care of him.
Large mouthfuls of black blood gushed out.
The boy, who was so small, seemed to have a lot of blood on him.
Blood stained clothes, hair, and straw...
His face was clearly ashen, his mouth was full of blood, and he was in excruciating pain.
Half an hour passed, and he was still not dead, but he was in even more pain.
An hour passed, and he was still not dead, but he still hurt himself.
Two hours passed, and he no longer had the strength to harm himself...
Chi Tang cried and screamed desperately, but no one heard her!
She pounded and cried there for who knows how long.
Then, dawn broke.
Meng Kuo stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins and dark mist.
The moment the sunlight streamed in, as he reached out to touch it... he died without a sound.
He died without anyone by his side.
Chi Tang woke up crying from her dream.
Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong were awakened and rushed to take care of Chi Tang.
Chi Tang closed her eyes and entered the space despite her headache.
She exchanged a golden lotus petal for a pill that could cure all poisons.
When Chi Tang opened her eyes again, she was extremely weak, her face was pale and yellow, her eyes were lifeless, and she looked as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.
"Miss!"
"Miss, what's wrong?"
The two were taken aback and didn't understand what had happened.
How could it be that all of a sudden, as if in the blink of an eye, the young lady became seriously ill?
Chi Tang took out the antidote pill and handed it to Xiao Lan, saying seriously, "This is the antidote to save Meng Kuo's life. You must leave now, and ride as fast as you can to get there! Remember, Meng Kuo is in a dilapidated thatched hut. As for the exact location, contact the guards when you arrive."
The bodyguards have their own unique way of communicating.
The guards who escorted Meng Kuo would also leave marks during their retreat so that others could come to their aid.
"Miss, is your weakness due to this antidote?"
Little Blue cleverly guessed it.
She looked at the fragile Chi Tang and felt heartbroken.
Her young master is kinder than anyone else.
"Xiao Lan, hurry! Saving Meng Kuo is important, but you must also take care of yourself. Your life is just as important to me, understand?"
Chi Tang's gaze was intense as he made Xiao Lan swear that she would never disregard her own life.
She knew that for the secret guards, completing the mission was more important than their own lives.
That's why this requirement exists.
Xiao Lan: "Miss!"
"Swear it!" Chi Tang urged.
Just as Xiao Lan was about to swear an oath, Xiao Hong suddenly snatched the antidote pill from her hand.
"Little Red?"
“Miss, let me deliver it. My martial arts are better than Xiao Lan's, but I'm not as meticulous, so let Xiao Lan stay behind to protect you. I'll go deliver the antidote! Miss, to us, your life is more important than anything else!”
Xiao Hong is actually very self-aware.
She knew she was far less attentive than Xiao Lan, and was rather careless and scatterbrained.
Protecting the young lady requires not only high martial arts skills, but also meticulousness!
"Xiao Hong, you..."
"Little Blue, stop talking nonsense. Protecting Miss is the most important thing. Don't worry, Miss, although I may seem a bit unreliable, I will definitely complete the mission!"
Little Red grinned.
Chi Tang couldn't help but shake her head: "How can you be unreliable? Xiao Hong is very reliable. You should also swear that you will definitely protect yourself."
"Yes, yes, I swear..."
After making the vow, Xiao Hong secretly whispered something in Chi Tang's ear.
This made Ah Chi, who was protecting her from the shadows, feel a strong urge to do so.
What did that girl say?
Chi Tang chuckled: "Don't worry, when you come back, I definitely will..."
"Oh! I can't say it! If I do, it won't work anymore."
Xiao Hong was unusually shy.
Chi Tang smiled and nodded: "Okay, then you must be careful. I'll have Xiao Hui go with you."
"No need, Little Grey is used to protecting Miss in the open. If you need someone else to accompany me, that's fine."
"Okay, go quickly."
After seeing Xiao Hong off, Chi Tang stood at the door, wearing a cloak, looking at the round moon, her heart filled with emotion.
"I wish I could fly over walls and scale rooftops too."
In fact, Huo Chenyi had considered teaching Chi Tang light-body skills.
But Chi Tang was simply not cut out for martial arts, especially light footwork, which he was completely incapable of.
Huo Chenyi once asked Chi Tang what she thought about when she was practicing her lightness skill.
Who knew that Chi Tang would say, "How can a person fly? That's unbelievable."
Huo Chenyi didn't know what science was, but he knew that if Chi Tang held this idea, it would be impossible for her to learn lightness skill!
How can someone who keeps telling themselves they won't succeed actually succeed?
Huo Chenyi stopped teaching Chi Tang, and the latter, not wanting to suffer any more setbacks, gave up.
"Miss, would you like to fly? Shall I carry you and fly for a while?" Xiao Lan asked.
Chi Tang shook her head: "No, it's too exciting. I'd better sleep a little longer and go home first thing tomorrow morning."
——
The next day, around noon, Chi Tang arrived home.
The family was very surprised.
However, once Grandpa Chi picked up his daughter, he wouldn't let go.
Even though it had only been two days since they last met, Old Man Chi acted as if he hadn't seen his daughter in half a lifetime. He held her tightly and wouldn't let go, even when Aunt Chi came to hug her!
Aunt Chi was so angry that she kept pinching the old man!
"I'm Tangtang's mother too! Why should only you be the one to hold her? You old fool, don't go too far!"
