Daoist Xuanji looked at the powder on her fair palm and revealed a helpless expression. “If you do this again, I’ll strip you naked with my sword next time.”

The black-clothed woman flipped over and quickly broke free from the rope binding her. “There won’t be a next time. Swear now that you will immediately leave and never bother me again, and I’ll give you the antidote. Otherwise, you will definitely die.”

Daoist Xuanji took off the cap of the wine gourd and took a sip. “1 don’t believe this poison can kill me.”

“Even if the poison doesn’t kill you, demoness, you will still have internal injuries for the rest of your life. I’ll ask you one last time. Are you going to swear?”

Daoist Xuanji waved her hand slightly and said casually, “Hurry up and run. I’ll catch up in an hour at most. I’ll teach you a lesson then.”

The black-clothed woman’s eyes were full of anger. She harrumphed lightly, turned around, and ran.

But after running a few steps, the black-clothed woman turned around and looked back. She felt that no matter how powerful this demoness was, she would still most likely die.

She gritted her teeth, returned, pulled out a round pendant from her collar, and threw it to Daoist Xuanji. “Demoness, if you still have any conscience, this is the end. The next time 1 meet you, I definitely won’t hold back…”

Daoist Xuanji picked up the pendant, opened it, took out the small pill inside, and threw it into her mouth. “Those medicines of yours are just child’s play. None of them are exciting…”

The black-clothed woman was stunned. “If you’re not scared, then why are you taking the antidote?”

“I’m not stupid. Why should I resist when 1 have the antidote? Run quickly. I’ll catch up in half an hour at most.”

“You!” The black-clothed woman man was so angry that her eyebrows bristled. She took out a dagger, thought for a moment, then took out a medicinal bottle, opened it, and threw it at Daoist Xuanji.

Daoist Xuanji picked up the medicine bottle and sniffed it. She was slightly surprised. “What medicine is it this time? It smells quite strong.”

“Lustful Fragrance. Don’t you want a strong medicine? You asked for it. I don’t have an antidote. If you can’t find a man to vent your body in four hours, you’ll explode and die. If you can resist it, 1’11 take your surname!”

Daoist Xuanji blinked her peach blossom eyes, raised her fair hands, and made orchid fingers?.

“What kind of poison is this? I can detoxify it with my hand, or I can grab you and scissor…”

“Ptui—Demoness! I… Ptui!” The black-clothed woman was stunned by this intelligent demoness with no lower limit. She turned around and ran into the forest.

Daoist Xuanji watched the black-clothed woman leave and asked from afar, “You really don’t know the whereabouts of the Bright Spirit Picture?”

“I’ve already told you that I don’t know. I was born with keen eyes and ears. Why are you so stubborn…”

As she spoke, her figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest.

When Daoist Xuanji saw this, a hint of helplessness appeared on her calm face.

After a moment of silence, Daoist Xuanji’s eyes moved slightly as she looked at the bonfire not far away.

She saw a fat eagle with snow-white feathers spread its wings and cautiously walked to the grilled fish beside the fire like a thief. When it noticed her looking over, it quickly straightened up and chirped twice. It looked very intelligent.

When Daoist Xuanji was at the inn, she didn’t notice the bird peeking its head out from the window next door, so she didn’t recognize it. Instead, she thought it was a rare beast in the mountains. She smiled and said, “Eat.”

“Chirp-” The bird ran to the grilled fish with a whoosh, grabbed a grilled fish, and flew into the forest. Along the way, it even chirped and cooed… It probably meant: Sister Demoness, don’t be afraid. I’m going to call someone to save you…

Daoist Xuanji naturally didn’t understand bird language. After the surroundings became quiet, she sat cross-legged on the boulder and closed her eyes…

Rustle, rustle, rustle!

When it was late at night, the heavy rain turned into a drizzle.

In the crack of the stone cliff, Ye Jingtang was lying on a blanket with his traveling bag as a pillow. He was already sound asleep, and his hands were wrapped around a slender waist.

Luo Ning was too tired and lay on Ye Jingtang’s body. It was unknown if she had fainted or fallen asleep, but there were still faint tears at the corners of her eyes. She looked like a pitiful flower that had been beaten by the wind and rain.

Ye Jingtang was much better than before, but his qi and blood were still not calm. As a result, his most memorable memories of Ning’er, Dumdum, Third Lady, and even Yuhu replayed one after another, and then…

“Mm-” Luo Ning frowned slightly in her deep sleep and groaned softly.

Ye Jingtang immediately woke up and opened his eyes. He looked slightly apologetic as he gently helped Ning’er lie down and covered her with some clothes. Then he put on his clothes and got out of the curtain.

It was probably three or four in the morning. Everything was silent under the night sky. Only the lights in the Iron River Manor in the distance were faintly shining.

After taking a look, Ye Jingtang flew up and climbed up the cliff, arriving under a tree at the top of the cliff.

Although he couldn’t see his own fingers, he could still determine Third Lady’s exact location from her breathing and movements.

Pei Xiangjun had been looking around with her monocular. When she saw Ye Jingtang come up, she felt a little strange and said softly, “Are you feeling better?”

Ye Jingtang went over and leaned against the same tree to take shelter from the rain. “Much better. You can get some sleep. I’ll keep watch.”

Pei Xiangjun held Ye Jingtang’s wrist and checked his pulse. She found that his qi and blood were still a little turbulent. She frowned and said, “Why did you come up when you haven’t recuperated? Continue.”

Ye Jingtang hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and replying, “I’ve taken too much of a tonic. It’s not an aphrodisiac. My qi and blood will probably be vigorous for a few days. It won’t affect my mind and skills. I just have too much energy.”

Pei Xiangjun blinked. “Can’t Ning’er take it? 1 knew it. She only knows how to talk big. When it comes to the real thing, she’s crying and begging for mercy in less than half an hour…”

Ye Jingtang felt that it was because of his own fierceness, and Ning’er couldn’t be blamed for being incapable. But it wasn’t easy to say such vulgar self-aggrandizing words. He only smiled lightly.

It was drizzling outside, and the cliff was silent except for two steady breaths.

The faint fragrance wafting from Ye Jingtang’s side made him feel a little confused. He thought for a moment and sat up straight, pretending to be serious and focused.

Pei Xiangjun looked demure and gentle. After a moment of silence, she tried to find something to talk about. “I see that Ning’er’s personality is quite cold. You two have only known each other for a short time. How did you get together so fast…”

“Third Lady, didn’t you give me the wrong medicine? Ning’er originally only allowed me to hug her at most, but in order to give me the antidote, she did that…”

“I didn’t give you that medicine. She bought it herself.” Pei Xiangjun recalled when the vixen had come to quarrel and snatch Jingtang away in front of her. She felt a little useless and leaned closer to ask, “Did she kiss you before she gave you the antidote?”

Ye Jingtang found it difficult to answer this question. “Well… 1 kissed her. On the day I killed the Wingless Owl, Ning’er was hit by a needle. I helped her detoxify it, but when 1 saw that her eyes were closed and that she was full of grief and indignation, 1 couldn’t restrain myself and secretly kissed her. But Ning’er was angry and aggrieved for an entire day, and she didn’t even cook for me. From then on, I’ve been very well-behaved…

“Later in Yun Province, on the day 1 killed Zhou Huaili, 1 was a little excited to reunite with Ning’er after a long separation, so 1 coaxed her and made a bet with her. She lost the bet, so she let me kiss her for a long time…”

When Pei Xiangjun heard this romantic story, she nodded thoughtfully. “Before you kiss her, you have to kill someone to liven things up?”

?

Ye Jingtang was instantly speechless. He thought for a moment and said, “Didn’t 1 not kill anyone today? 1 only beat Guan Yujia half to death…”

“Hmph-”

The two of them had only chatted for a moment when there was a faint sound in the night rain. A big bird flew back at lightning speed and landed on Ye Jingtang’s shoulder. Then it grabbed his collar and pulled it. “Chirp chirp chirp-”

Seeing how anxious the bird was, Pei Xiangjun frowned and said, “Did something happen?”

Ye Jingtang hugged the anxious bird and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The bird spread its wings and gestured. “Chirp chirp…”

Through its tone and movements, Ye Jingtang could roughly understand what it meant: Hurry up and save someone. It’s extremely urgent!

Ye Jingtang frowned. Knowing that an important person he knew was in danger, he asked, “How far and how many enemies?”

“Chirp chirp!” The bird indicated that there were no enemies and it was about 15 kilometers away.

No enemies…

Ye Jingtang wasn’t sure what had happened to this person, so he naturally didn’t dare to delay. He immediately stood up and said, “1’11 go over and take a look. Third Lady, you and Ning’er hide well. I’ll be back soon.”

Pei Xiangjun wasn’t clear about the situation. She stood up and asked, “Shouldn’t we go together?”

“We have to save this person at full speed. Ning’er’s legs are probably weak now. Third Lady, please take good care of her. I’ll get the bird to come back and keep in touch later.”

After giving some instructions, Ye Jingtang leaped down from the stone cliff and landed in the crack. He picked up his saber, the Roaring Dragon Spear, and first-aid medicine and followed the bird southeast…
