Now that Jin Lin was adamant about not revealing the method to save and detoxify, the only option left was for him to forcibly use his energy to expel the poison from Yun Sisi. However, doing so would inevitably deplete his spiritual power!
Mo Changxing took a deep breath, realizing he wouldn’t get any answers, and stopped pressing Jin Lin further.
Yun Sisi, now in unbearable pain, had tears streaming down her face. She had clearly heard the conversation between Jin Lin and Mo Changxing—the man refused to disclose the antidote, all because she had intended to harm that wretched woman earlier!
But hadn’t she failed? That woman remained unharmed, while Yun Sisi was the one suffering from their poison! How dare they talk about revenge! She would remember this debt!
Her heart filled with agony and hatred, yet Yun Sisi looked at Mo Changxing with an increasingly pitiful and aggrieved expression. “Brother Changxing, save me!”
Pleading words spilled from her lips one after another. Though Mo Changxing neither agreed nor offered any comfort, his steps carried him steadily toward Yun Sisi.
Hope flickered in Yun Sisi’s eyes—her Brother Changxing would never abandon her!
“Mo Changxing!”
Just as Mo Changxing reached Yun Sisi and ordered Yue Jian, who had arrived, to lift the fallen woman, Jin Lin suddenly called out coldly.
Mo Changxing stiffened but didn’t turn to look at Jin Lin. Meanwhile, Yue Jian had already picked up Yun Sisi, who was too weak to rise.
Jin Lin sneered. “You still want to save a woman who was determined to harm Xuexue?”
Mo Changxing pressed his lips together, his voice devoid of emotion as he replied after a brief pause, “I have no choice but to save her. She cannot die yet. Jin Lin, since you insist on protecting Qingxue and refuse to tell me the antidote, I won’t press further. But don’t stand in my way, alright?”
“Hmph! Fine! I won’t stop you! But remember this, Mo Changxing—this woman just tried to hurt Xuexue, and now you’re determined to save her. That means you’ve chosen to stand on the side of Xuexue’s enemies. From the moment you save her, you’re one of them! Stay away from Xuexue from now on!”
Mo Changxing’s hands clenched involuntarily, his voice turning icy. “That’s my business!”
Jin Lin raised an eyebrow, laughing in fury. “Mo! Let me make this clear—if you want to save this ugly woman, you’d better promise right now to keep her far away from Xuexue! Otherwise, you won’t save anyone today!”
“My affairs are none of your concern!” Mo Changxing snapped coldly, flicking his sleeve to signal Yue Jian to leave with Yun Sisi.
Though Yun Sisi was writhing in agony from A’dai’s poison, she couldn’t help feeling furious that Mo Changxing wasn’t the one carrying her. Not daring to vent at him, she glared at Yue Jian and hissed weakly, “Worthless servant! Can’t you hold me in a more comfortable position?”
Yue Jian’s brow twitched imperceptibly, but he said nothing. He had no patience for Yun Sisi’s spoiled tantrums.
“Trying to leave? Not a chance!” Jin Lin roared at their retreating figures. With a flick of his wrist, A’dai, coiled around his arm, shot toward Yue Jian, who was carrying Yun Sisi.
Sensing danger, Yue Jian swiftly dodged.
Mo Changxing halted and turned back—just as Jin Lin charged forward on the wind.
“My Lord!” Shui Liu, who had just arrived, witnessed Jin Lin lunging at Mo Changxing.
“Shui Liu, kill the woman in that man’s arms!”
Even as he confronted Mo Changxing, Jin Lin didn’t forget to issue the command.
Shui Liu obeyed without question, rushing toward Yue Jian. Yue Jian, uncertain of his opponent’s strength but aware that those who served the king were no weaklings, dared not take the threat lightly. He had no choice but to set Yun Sisi down and engage Shui Liu.
“Hiss—” A’dai, who had missed Yue Jian on its first strike, adjusted its trajectory just as Shui Liu and Yue Jian clashed. Its beady eyes locked onto Yun Sisi, now lying helpless on the ground.
In her pain, Yun Sisi spotted the little venomous snake that had bitten her earlier staring at her. With no one to protect her, she shuddered in terror and cried weakly, “Help me!”
“Hiss—” A’dai’s eyes gleamed with malice. So the wicked woman was scared now? Well, Lord A’dai would send her off properly this time!
Coiling its body, A’dai bared its sharp fangs and shot toward Yun Sisi like an arrow.
Both Mo Changxing and Yue Jian noticed Yun Sisi’s peril, but one was entangled with Jin Lin, the other with Shui Liu—neither could break free to rescue her in time.
Yun Sisi instinctively rolled on the ground to evade A’dai’s strike. The snake adjusted its path effortlessly, matching her frantic movements.
After two weak, clumsy rolls, Yun Sisi felt something cold wrap around her neck. Panic surged as she stopped rolling and instinctively reached up to claw at the constricting sensation.
“Hiss—”
The cold, slithering presence moved along her neck, up to her chin, across her face, and finally stopped right before her eyes.
Terror seized her as her trembling hand froze mid-air. Her wide eyes locked onto the small, swaying black-purple triangular head mere inches from her face.
“Hiss—” A’dai flicked its tongue, revealing two sharp little fangs.
“Ahhh—!” Yun Sisi screamed uncontrollably. A’dai’s eyes flashed with irritation—this ugly woman was unbearably noisy!
It opened its mouth, aiming its gleaming white fangs at the delicate bridge of her nose.
Though the thought disgusted it slightly, it was the easiest spot to bite. Lord A’dai would make do!
“AHHH—!!!” Yun Sisi’s shriek cracked with sheer terror.
A’dai twisted violently, but no matter how it strained, it couldn’t reach her nose. In fact, the distance only grew.
“Hiss—!” It writhed in frustration, its beady eyes meeting another pair—wise and composed.
Gasping for breath after her narrow escape, Yun Sisi looked at the man who had saved her and sobbed, “Holy Lord, save me! Please save me!”
Holy Lord Ziqu frowned, then suddenly bellowed with a voice that resonated deep from his core:
“EVERYONE, STOP!”
The command echoed, and instantly, all those locked in combat obeyed, stepping back and ceasing their attacks.
