Four hours later, Li Cangmin still hadn't returned.

Murong Ling could no longer sit still. Supporting herself with the wall, she walked out of the cave, and before she could inquire any further, he saw Li Cangmin walking back while wearing the moonlight. He was holding the corpse of a rabbit in her left hand and the Scarlet Mai Grass and Primordial Vermillion Fruit in his right hand.

Murong Ling did not reply, her gaze sweeping across his body.

His clothes were no longer the same as the ones he wore when he left, but instead, he had changed into an ill-fitting coarse cloth suit. No one knew where he had found him, but he guessed that he came from the same place as the tiger skin and medicine jars in the cave.

Even though she was injured and her strength had been greatly reduced, she could still smell the scent of blood on his body, "Are you injured?" Let me see. "

Li Cangmin looked at her closely, a dim light seeming to flash in his eyes. "Are you worried about me?"

Murong Ling's gaze fell on his chest that was already drenched in blood and frowned, "Yes, I'm worried about you. If you die because of me, then I won't be able to repay this favor."

Without waiting for him to speak further, Murong Ling dragged the person into the cave and easily untied his belt. When she clearly saw the wound, she immediately took a deep breath.

His wound was wrapped in a white cloth, and inside was a huge claw mark that was so deep that the bones could be seen. The wound was badly mutilated and was faintly green in color. It was evident that it was poisonous.

Just as she was about to start treating him, Li Cangmin dodged his hand. He reached out and tucked her hair away, and as his fingers brushed past her ears, his long and narrow phoenix eyes shone upon her face. His gaze was heavy as he said, "This king is fine, you should recuperate from your injuries first before showing this duke."

Murong Ling scoffed, and said in a cold voice, "By the time I recuperate from my injuries, you have already died from poison."

As she spoke, her hand had already touched his chest, and a lustering green light leaked out from her palm. In the next moment, Murong Ling saw the ice elemental energy circulating inside Li Cangmin's meridians, and other than that, there was also a faint cyan color, it was the poison on his chest.

She could only increase the vitality of her muscles. She glanced at Li Cangmin and said, "Activate your cultivation to force the poison out of your body."

When he was poisoned, Li Cangmin had already sealed the tendons in his chest to prevent the poison from spreading. Now that Murong Ling was here, she no longer had any worries. Murong Ling's wood elemental energy followed closely behind, repairing his meridians, which had been destroyed by the poison. With such a Great Zhou, the poison in his chest had already been expelled completely.

She couldn't hold on any longer and fell down softly. Li Cangmin caught her in time to help her wipe the sweat off her forehead. Her gaze seemed to be glued to her face, unable to shift away no matter how hard she tried.

As Murong Ling recovered her strength, she noticed that she was leaning against Li Cangmin's chest. The skin beneath his chest was thin and tough, her heart was strong and powerful, and slowly, his heartbeat became faster and faster, like the sound of a storm falling on a drum. Accompanied by hurried rhythm and music, she couldn't help but look up, and coincidentally met his eyes that had become pitch black without her knowing when.

Even though Li Cangmin's facial features were handsome, Murong Ling had always felt that what attracted the most attention was those narrow and long phoenix eyes of his. When she pretended to be a fool, they were as clear and pure as the stars, and normally, they were deep and profound like a deep pool, like a black hole.

Only when her cold fingers touched her face did Murong Ling regain her senses and pushed her away with a straight face. Li Cangmin was not angry. He put on the clothes and looked at her, "You heal yourself first, I'll protect you."

Murong Ling did not refuse, and swallowed the Scarlet Mai Grass and Primordial Vermillion Fruit one by one. She meditated and activated his cultivation technique, and the vigorous medicinal energy flowed according to the route of her cultivation technique, from her dantian to her tendons, and the chapped marks were slowly being healed like a slow lens. In these two days of Great Zhou, there were no longer any cracks in her body.

Even so, her meridians and dantian were still weak. For example, they used to be flexible and stretched, but now they were thin paper that could be broken with a single poke. If they could not continue to grow, then every time she broke through to the next stage, her tendons and veins would expand and she would be in danger of rupturing.

His condition was even worse than when he first entered.

Covering the worry in her heart, Murong Ling opened her eyes and met Li Cangmin's gaze. Seeing that she had finished channeling her energy, her pale white face also had a tinge of red.

"Don't worry, after we leave this place, I will order some people to search for heavenly materials and treasures. I will recover very soon."

Murong Ling declined to comment, and upon recalling the things she said earlier, Li Cangmin's expression became slightly cold, and turned and left the cave. When he came back, he had a skinned rabbit in his hand.

"Give it to me."

Seeing him set the rabbit on the fire again, the piece of trash that Murong Ling had just thrown out, had already given up on his technique. She hadn't eaten for seven days, not wanting to starve to death.

In her 'past life', she had always wanted to survive in the wild. Although her cooking skills were not exceptional, she was still better than an average person. Not long after, a glistening yellow barbecue meat that exuded an alluring aroma appeared in front of the two of them.

Murong Ling couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Out of the corner of her eyes, she took a glance and discovered that Li Cangmin was also staring at the roast meat without blinking, almost as if she was deeply in love with him.

The corner of her mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but ask, "What have you eaten these past seven days?"

Li Cangmin immediately withdrew his gaze from the roasted meat and sat upright. His stern face was expressionless as he spoke without any fluctuations, "Roasted rabbits and wild fruits."

"You like to eat rabbits?"

Li Cangmin looked at her, as if disgust had flashed past his eyes, "I only know how to roast rabbits."

It was conceivable that he had suffered greatly from the poison of the rabbit during these seven days. If he could enjoy it, then that would be true love. However, thinking about the reason why he had come in to suffer, Murong Ling's emotions became complicated once again.

The spirit energy condensed into a knife, splitting the roast meat into half and giving it to him, "You can leave tomorrow."

Li Cangmin's movements paused, he lowered his head and took a bite of the meat, his mouth full of fragrance, but he could not smell any of it, as though it was no different from the meat he was eating.

Besides the crackling of the firewood, there was no other sound from the cave. Li Cangmin did not speak the entire time, as he did not understand Murong Ling's thoughts.

"No need, you're injured too. Go and rest."

Murong Ling sprinkled a few seeds around the cave entrance. In the blink of an eye, the seed had grown into thick thorny vines, tightly sealing the cave entrance.

She had peeled these seeds from the Ghost Vine in her Spirit Sea. They were the same as her main body, they were not only extremely poisonous, but also had a bewitching effect. The ferocious beasts outside could not break through their defense at all.
