Now that he's been given an Invulnerability Pill, even if the female lead's father still tries to poison Xu Yixuan according to the original plot, this pill will ensure Xu Yixuan's life!
She rummaged through the pills in her space again, looking at the Body Strengthening Pill, Inner Strength Pill, and Marrow Cleansing Pill, which were good for the body and could improve martial arts. She wondered if she should give the male lead a set as well!
Just as she was thinking, Xu Yixuan, who was lying on the ground, slowly woke up, muttering, "Water! Water!"
Seeing that his lips were already dry and cracked, Lin Ru picked up the water bag next to her, helped him up, and personally fed him water!
Xu Yixuan felt a sweet taste on his lips. As if he had grasped a lifeline, he squeezed the water bag with all his might and drank the sweet water inside in big gulps!
He had been thirsty for far too long. Along the way, he had not only been chased and killed, but also ambushed by his enemies. The water sources he encountered were all poisoned, and after being poisoned twice, he dared not drink the water by the roadside anymore! He could only crush the wild grass by the roadside and squeeze out the juice to survive!
He hadn't drunk water like this for ten days. He gulped down half a water sac and then felt like he had come back to life!
It wasn't until he was able to put the water down that he realized what he had just done!
He quickly sat up and looked at the person in front of him with great vigilance. When he saw clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could finish speaking, the breath stopped in his chest!
He then realized that he had just been half-lying in the arms of this beautiful woman and had even drunk her water!
His ears immediately turned bright red with embarrassment, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
Lin Ru smiled as she watched his reaction, feeling that there was a reason why the male lead had been poisoned before; he was simply too foolish!
"Xu Yixuan! Shouldn't the first thing you do when you wake up be check your body? Aren't you afraid I'll poison the water? Or perhaps take advantage of you while you're unconscious!?"
Why are you blushing all of a sudden?
Upon hearing this, Xu Yixuan quickly calmed down and examined his body. He circulated his internal energy and took his pulse, only to be surprised to find that the poison in his body had been neutralized and that his previous internal injuries had also healed considerably!
Moreover, he always felt a warm sensation inside his body, especially in his meridians, as if an invisible force was flowing through them, rapidly repairing his injured meridians and expanding their width, thus increasing his internal energy compared to before!
He stood up excitedly, wanting to bow and thank Lin Ru, but he was too tall and bumped into the roof of the carriage. Coupled with the bumps outside, Xu Yixuan lost his balance and almost fell onto Lin Ru!
Just then, the carriage curtain outside was suddenly lifted, and a long, strong hand reached in, precisely grabbing Xu Yixuan's clothes from the back. With a clever twist, it pulled him from a forward-leaning position to a backward-leaning one, and he finally fell onto the carriage!
Moreover, to prevent Xu Yixuan from falling and kicking Lin Ru, the people outside pulled Xu Yixuan's upper body out and lifted him into the air in front of the carriage!
His face was only a fist's distance from the horse's hoof!
Lin Ru was afraid that Wu Ling might be too rough and kill Xu Yixuan under the carriage!
She quickly spoke up to stop him, "Wu Ling! Don't hurt him!"
Then Wu Ling reluctantly helped Xu Yixuan up and put him back into the carriage!
Although Lin Ru only saw Wu Ling's back, she always felt that he seemed very unwilling and looked aggrieved!
Xu Yixuan, looking like he'd just escaped death, patted his chest and exclaimed, "My God, that was close! I almost got kicked to death by that horse's hoof!"
"Girl! Your guards are incredibly skilled! They managed to pull me out with one hand and then shove me back in with the other!"
"He's incredibly strong! And his skills look pretty good too!"
"Oh, right! Miss! I haven't asked your name yet!"
"Lin Ru!"
Xu Yixuan bowed deeply, his hands clasped in gratitude, and said, "So it's Miss Lin! I, Xu Yixuan, am so grateful for Miss Lin's great kindness!"
"Thank you for saving me. You not only detoxified me but also helped repair my meridians!"
"Thank you so much!"
"I don't have anything else on me, except for my ancestral jade pendant, which is worth some money!"
"Although I know you are not short of money, and this jade pendant is nothing compared to the life-saving grace, it is still a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it!"
After saying that, he took off the jade pendant he was wearing around his neck and handed it over with both hands!
Lin Ru looked at the jade pendant in his hand. The jade was mutton fat white jade! Both its luster and texture were excellent!
Moreover, this piece, worn around his neck and hidden inside his clothes, is a personal item! Most importantly, it's an heirloom! It must be incredibly valuable!
Lin Ru remembered that Xu Yixuan was unaware of his own identity and was heading north to find his relatives!
His mother was the younger sister of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Later, it seems that the Marquis of Zhenbei was ambushed by enemy forces, and his sister was kidnapped. Somehow, she ended up in Mianzhou! After getting married, she gave birth to Xu Yixuan!
Life was pretty good! However, when Mianzhou was conscripting soldiers, Xu Yixuan's father couldn't evade it even with money. He never came back after that, but they still kept in touch from time to time.
Before they fled the famine, his mother wrote letters to the Marquis of Zhenbei in Yuzhou and Xu Yixuan's father in the capital. After that, people kept hunting down Xu Yixuan and his mother! His mother died on the way to flee the famine due to overwork and fear.
Lin Ru pushed the jade pendant back, "Xu Yixuan! You should keep this jade pendant! You don't owe me anything! You'll need it when you acknowledge your relatives later!"
Xu Yixuan was utterly astonished upon hearing this!
"Miss Lin, how did you know I was on my way to find my relatives, and how did you know this jade pendant would be useful when I'm recognizing them?"
Lin Ru smiled mysteriously, "Haven't you heard that a goddess appeared in Mianzhou?"
"I am that goddess! I can tell you where you came from and where you are going with just a few calculations!"
Xu Yixuan's eyes widened in surprise!
"Miss Lin, you're not lying to me, are you? You're the legendary goddess?"
"You are the goddess who single-handedly repelled tens of thousands of troops under Prince Shun?!"
"Are you kidding me?"
