Chapter 23

Pffft!

The Yellow Spring Poison was domineering and ferocious. Even with her powerful physique, she could not withstand it. In her unconscious state, she spat out a mouthful of black poisonous blood that emitted a pungent stench.

Zhang Ronghua was in a dilemma. Ji Xueyan was the Crown Prince’s fiancée and the future Empress of the Xia Empire. She was destined to be from a different world from him.

If word of today’s scene got out, he and his family would be in danger.

Not only would the Crown Prince kill him, but the Xia Emperor would also send people to kill them for the sake of the imperial family.

However, there was no one else around at this moment. Yue Ya and Zheng Fugui had already rushed out to get reinforcements, so it was impossible for them to return.

She was deeply poisoned. Her exquisite and beautiful face was bloodless, like a piece of white paper. A black aura surrounded her brow, a sign that the poison had reached her heart. She did not have much time left.

Should he save her or not?

There were only two choices in front of him.

After saving him, what if she wanted to silence him for her innocence?

If he did not save her and Ji Xueyan died, as guards, if the Grand Tutor was furious, they would not have a good time either. It would also be a dead end.

Poison blood seeped out of her tempting cherry mouth. It seemed that it could not be suppressed anymore.

Zhang Ronghua took a deep breath, his eyes unprecedentedly determined. “No matter what the outcome is, I admit it!”

He helped her sit on the ground and crossed her legs in a cultivation posture.

He sat down on her back.

He pressed his hands on her back and circulated the Black Yellow Heaven Splitting Technique, sending the Black Yellow True Essence into her body and beginning to expel the poison.

The Yellow Spring Poison was one of the most terrifying poisons in the world. Even if the Black Yellow Heaven Splitting Technique was extraordinary and was suspected to be a Godfiend cultivation technique, it was not something that could be resolved in a short period of time.

The night passed in an instant.

Zhang Ronghua had consumed a lot of true essence and dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Even his face was a little pale. Fortunately, a large portion of the poison in Ji Xueyan’s body had been expelled, leaving only a small spot on her lower abdomen.

He laid her on the bedding and looked at her wound. There was still some there.

If he did not completely remove it, it would not be long before the Yellow Spring Poison spread again and corroded her entire body. All his previous efforts would be in vain.

However, this was an important place in a woman’s body. If he wanted to expel it, he could only suck it with his mouth.

Even if his cultivation was high and he was at the third level of the Celestial Realm, he could not force the poison out of her wound with his Black Yellow True Essence alone.

He rubbed his temples!

Zhang Ronghua had an unprecedented headache. What should he do?

‘Do I really have to use my mouth?’

Looking at her face, which was still covered by a veil, he could only see a rough outline. Even so, it could not hide her devastating beauty.

He gritted his teeth and went all out!

Her dress was one-piece with a white belt at her waist.

He took off her belt and looked at the dress below. If he lifted it, wouldn’t it all be exposed?

He could only tear it apart!

Slash!

He tore a hole in her lower abdomen, revealing a large area of snow-white skin. It was really too fair, like a perfect work of art. There were no flaws. The luster circulated and made one linger.

Zhang Ronghua did not dare to look at it for too long, afraid that he would not be able to look away. He was also a normal man, hot-blooded.

Looking at the wound, the poison was deep and had turned black.

He lowered his head and sucked!

With the Black Yellow Heaven Splitting Technique protecting his body, he was not afraid of the Yellow Spring Poison.

One mouthful, two mouthfuls…

His mouth was about to go numb when he finally sucked the poison dry. Suppressing his exhaustion, he pressed his right hand to her lower abdomen and healed the wound with the Black Yellow True Essence.

By the time the palm was removed, the wound had disappeared and there was no scar left. If not for the poisonous blood on the ground, it would have been as if she had not been poisoned.

He let out a shaky breath and wiped his sweat. He was too tired!

He could not stay here any longer. It would be troublesome if the mastermind was hiding other trump cards.

He took out a coat and tied it around her waist, covering her lower abdomen. Then he carried her out of the tent.

The rain was still pouring, but the thick fog had dissipated.

The Divine Heavenly Dragon Horse had been eaten by the Yellow Spring Ancient Bugs in the battle last night so they could only walk on foot.

He did not take the official road.

Their itinerary had already been leaked. The rogue cultivators from both sides and some bold people wished they could snatch the number one beauty of Great Xia. If they went over now, they would only walk into a trap.

It was still raining heavily, but it was safe.

It was noon.

Zhang Ronghua found a cave and took out two clean blankets from the Five Dragon Spirit Control Belt. He spread them on the ground and put her down.

He sat on the ground and circulated the Black Yellow Heaven Splitting Technique to recover his consumed true essence.

Ji Xueyan had a long dream. In the dream, she stood above the Grand Tutor’s residence and looked at him reluctantly. She waved goodbye to him and was woken up by a nightmare.

Looking at the unfamiliar cave in front of her, the light of the Night Pearl emitted from the ground. Zhang Ronghua sat at the side and circulated his energy to recover his true essence.

Without disturbing him, she looked down at her lower abdomen.

A man’s tunic was tied around her waist. Her right hand touched it.

She remembered the scene before she fainted. She had been bitten by a Yellow Spring Ancient Bug and was poisoned by the Yellow Spring Poison, but at this moment, the poison had been cured and there was not even a scar.

She seemed to remember that someone had used their mouth to suck the poison in a daze.

“It’s him?”

At this moment, her heart was even more complicated than Zhang Ronghua’s.

Kill him? She could not do it, nor did she care to do it, let alone attack her savior. This was her, Ji Xueyan. As the beloved daughter of the Grand Tutor and the future successor of Jixia Academy, she had her pride.

However, she was the Crown Prince’s fiancée. If this matter spread and the Crown Prince knew, even if the Crown Prince did not care, the imperial family would not let him off.

There was a long silence!

Her gaze was unprecedentedly determined. This secret would rot in her heart forever. No matter what, she could not put him in danger.

Otherwise, her conscience would be uneasy for the rest of her life. It would also affect her cultivation. If it was serious, it would become her inner demon.

She closed her eyes again to calm herself down and not think about this. The more this was the case, the more she could not forget the scene of Zhang Ronghua sucking the poison for her. Even if she chanted the Heart Condensing Mental Technique of Jixia Academy, it was useless.

Fortunately, her poison had just been neutralized and her mental state was not good. She quickly fell asleep.

Two hours later.

Zhang Ronghua ended his cultivation and recovered completely. Even his cultivation took another step forward and broke through to the fourth level of the Celestial Realm.

He got up from the ground and saw that she was still unconscious. The cold wind blew in and he took out a coat to cover her.

He sat down at the side and took out some food from the Five Dragon Spirit Control Belt to eat.

After a while, Ji Xueyan opened her eyes and woke up from a deep sleep.

Zhang Ronghua stepped forward and supported her against the wall. He looked concerned. “How is it?”

“A little better.”

The atmosphere was silent. Now, they had to resolve the problem.

As if guessing his thoughts, Ji Xueyan took off an ancient jade from her waist and handed it over.

Zhang Ronghua did not take it and looked at her in confusion.

“It’s called the Origin Divine Jade. My mother gave it to me and it’s also my identity certificate. With it, you can enjoy the protection of the Grand Tutor Manor.”
