Shen Zhiyi put the herbs into her basket, clapped her hands, lifted her skirt and stood up, following the scent as she walked quickly away.
She parted a clump of green plants that were about half her height.
On the shallows downstream of the stream, a dark-skinned figure was seen unconscious.
The man wore a strange black mask that covered most of his face, revealing only his hard jaw and a thin lip.
His lips were bluish-purple, but that did not diminish his imposing heroic spirit in the slightest.
Half of his body was submerged in the stream, his dark-colored outfit torn in several places and now soaked through, clinging tightly to the lines of his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
Water droplets condensed on the fabric slid down the fabric, making the exposed wrists appear even more defined.
Shen Zhiyi's gaze fell on the wound on his left arm.
The flesh there was torn and the bloodstains had been washed away until they turned white, but his fingertips twitched almost imperceptibly.
Shen Zhiyi's watery eyes shone brightly.
A person who is critically poisoned and on the verge of death.
Despite suffering such severe injuries and being battered by rocks and rushing water, he actually survived!
Not only are they physically strong.
Their willpower is also beyond the reach of ordinary people!
Perfect for research!
Unable to contain her excitement, she walked over, squatted down, and placed her fingertips on the inside of his wrist, carefully feeling the faint pulse.
"It really is the Heart-Shattering Poison!" she murmured to herself, her voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement. "The most extraordinary poison in the world, recorded only in ancient books, has actually been concocted by someone!"
They practically delivered it right to her face!
Legend has it that this poison is colorless and odorless, but there is no complete record of its specific symptoms and aftereffects.
She has always been very interested in this poison.
After much research, it was discovered that to completely cure this poison, the blood of lovers was necessary as a medicinal ingredient.
However, the solution is still unclear.
She recently made an antidote pill that can cure all poisons; I wonder if it will work on the Heartbreak Pill.
This person is someone I could give a try.
She was determined to save him!
Shen Zhiyi immediately decided to drag him back.
She glanced at the man's tall and broad figure, got up and walked half a circle around him, her eyebrows furrowed deeply.
His palm alone is twice the size of hers.
Can it be dragged?
Never mind, let's give it a try.
Shen Zhiyi squatted down, took out the herbs from the basket on her back, and put them into the cloth bag at her waist.
She then laboriously placed the man's arms on her slender shoulders, gritted her teeth, and used all her strength to drag him backward step by step.
After walking for a while, her fair and cool face flushed slightly from the exertion.
Fine beads of sweat also appeared on his forehead.
"How... so heavy..." She was slightly out of breath and was about to stop to catch her breath when she tripped over a protruding tree root!
"oops!"
She staggered backward uncontrollably.
To steady herself, she instinctively clung tightly to Duan Xingzhi's arm.
His head, propelled by inertia, slid sharply towards her, burying itself squarely in the crook of her neck.
The cold black eagle mask pressed against the warm skin.
His lips pressed against her neck.
Shen Zhiyi froze.
His breath brushed against her sensitive earlobe.
The aura was somewhat scorching due to the poisoning, carrying a faint, almost imperceptible, bloody scent, yet strangely intertwined with a masculine, clear, and domineering aura, mingling with the medicinal fragrance on her body, creating an inexplicably ambiguous atmosphere.
Her face flushed red, and she tilted her head slightly to the other side to avoid his lips.
"This is terrible..."
She complained softly and dragged him a little further.
However, due to the touch just now, his steps were unsteady, and when he passed a slightly steep slope, he stumbled and fell uncontrollably to the side!
Duan Xingzhi then pressed down on her.
"Hmm!"
A cool sensation came from my lips.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Shen Zhiyi stared wide-eyed at the man pressing down on her.
His long eyelashes were tightly closed, and his lips kissed her perfectly.
His long arms also hung horizontally at his sides.
Because she had fainted, all the strength was on her, making her unable to move.
It felt like she was being held tightly in his arms and kissed forcefully.
Shen Zhiyi's heart raced, and the heat that had just subsided in her ears returned.
She frantically pushed against his chest, only to touch a hand full of muscular pectoral muscles.
Her face turned even redder.
Shen Zhiyi turned her head away, and his head landed heavily on her neck, stirring up another wave of heat.
Using all her strength, she kicked and pushed the unconscious man away, finally managing to climb out of his arms.
Panting, Shen Zhiyi hurriedly propped herself up and touched her lips.
A strange heat suddenly spread and surged through his body.
"Oh no!"
She slumped backward, covering her lips, a crack appearing on her usually cool face for the first time, her eyes filled with disbelief.
This heart-wrenching melody can actually be passed down through lips and teeth?!
She hurriedly opened the cloth bag at her waist, took out a pill to suppress the toxins, and swallowed it.
She crawled over again, staring at the unconscious man with a hint of resentment.
That's really impressive...
He was completely oblivious; he not only kissed her but also poisoned her!
Enraged, she reached out and slapped his face.
The mask hurts my hands.
Slightly annoyed, Shen Zhiyi pushed his head to the side, found the mask strap at the back of his head, and skillfully untied the knot.
He turned his face back, touched the mask with his fingertips, and slowly moved it away...
