Chapter Seventeen: Slipped away right under his nose



ah……

Qian Youxue shouted, thinking she was about to kiss the earth, but unexpectedly landed in someone's arms.

The embrace was broad, but why was it so cold? She couldn't help but shiver. She looked up, trying to see the person's face clearly, but the person didn't give her any chance, throwing her away without any mercy, leaving her with a mouthful of mud that choked her for a long time before she recovered.

"You..." She stood up angrily, disregarding her disheveled appearance, pointing at the culprit in front of her, but swallowed the words that were about to come out.

The man before her, dressed in a purple robe and wearing a silver mask, glanced coldly at Qian Youxue and, noticing the fear in her eyes, immediately sensed impending danger.

Then, with a graceful leap, his slender figure paired with a purple robe gave him an ethereal air, making him so handsome that it was impossible to look away.

Boom!

With a single palm strike, half of the wolf pack that had intended to attack the purple-robed man lay down, while the white wolf that had been injured earlier seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The silver spirit grass in his hand was knocked to the ground. He glanced at the wound inflicted by the white wolf, and with a flick of his sleeve, the white wolf's throat was slit. Seeing their leader killed, the wolf pack fled into the nearby woods.

In just a short while, he resolved these troubles, and when he came to his senses, he found that the Silver Spirit Grass was gone, and the woman had also disappeared.

That damn woman actually slipped away right under my nose!

He angrily exhaled a breath of stale air, only then realizing that the jade pendant was emitting a warm aura.

Could it be?

Coming to his senses, he immediately searched for the source of the scent and rushed off.

Qian Youxue dared not linger for even a moment. Just by looking at the moves she used to deal with the white wolf, she knew he was a master. What she had recently learned was probably nothing compared to him. Fortunately, she had mastered the art of making a quick getaway very well.

In the blink of an eye, she had gone from the desolate wilderness to the city gate. By then, the city gate was closed. She looked around to make sure she hadn't been followed, then went to a rather inconspicuous corner and crawled through a dog hole.

They discovered this dog hole by chance when Wu Xie and she went out of town to gather herbs and lost track of time. Now that she's started refining medicine, she'll probably be going in and out of it frequently.

Once inside the city, she immediately rushed back to the Qian family home, took off her night clothes, and threw them into the ring.

Without delay, she sat cross-legged, summoned the Nine-Tailed Cauldron, gathered all the necessary medicinal herbs, and immediately began refining the medicine.

...

I never imagined there was such a formidable woman in the world, managing to escape from right under my nose twice. If others knew, wouldn't I, Xuan Mingye, become a laughingstock?

However, the fact that he encountered her tonight and she disappeared so quickly suggests that the woman is either in the city or nearby. Furthermore, he's certain she's extremely knowledgeable about pharmacology. Last time, she easily detected the poison and curse on him; she's clearly no ordinary expert.

Even if we don't tear that woman to pieces, we have to find her. Maybe we can get more information about the poison curse from her. After all, this thing is really too torturous. Over the years, due to the ravages of the poison curse, not only has his skill level been difficult to improve, but he also suffers from the torment of the poison flaring up every fifteenth of the month.

Cough cough...

In the cold wind, he coughed twice, a trickle of black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. Clutching his chest, he knew he had to find this person quickly, otherwise…
