“How can this be calculated like that?!” Bai Ning Yuan retreated a step in shock by Du Xiao Li’s

calculations and weakly said, “Next time I see Luo seven, I might as well let him pay double the

price.”

“Hmph!” Du Xiao Li snorted once and turned around, continuing on her way. She wanted to have

the antidote rushed out tonight.

On the second day of mid-autumn, Luo Qi left. Now, he was probably already on his way back to the

Four Sea Manor. Thinking Luo seven might act against Luo Qi or others he cared about at anytime,

she felt endlessly worried inside.

“Don’t worry, Luo Qi is very strong too.” Seeing Du Xiao Li this worried, Han Ming Yi consoled.

——–Although he didn’t want to say Luo was strong.

“En, however it’s still best we have the antidote made and delivered to them as soon as possible,

just in case.” Du Xiao Li said.

“Alright, I’ll accompany you.” Han Ming Yi said.

Du Xiao Li had already slept a lot during the day, so right now, she wasn’t sleepy in the least,

thinking it wouldn’t be a problem for her to stay up all night to make the antidote. Seeing the

persistence in Han Ming Yi’s eyes, she nodded her head and took him to her medicine room.

Bai Ning Yuan, in the end, still followed after them. Since developing the re and ice poison, he has

never considered making an antidote for it, although this to him was very simple. However, hearing

that Du Xiao Li had cured his poison in a few days, he was very curious inside and wanted to see

how exactly did she concoct the antidote.

Thus, the three got busy in the medicine room. Specically speaking, it was Bai Ning Yuan that got

busy, because preparing the medicinal ingredients and whatnot, Du Xiao Li left it all for him to do,

while she just mixed the medicinal ingredients into pills at the very end.

As for Han Ming Yi, he just sat next to Du Xiao Li the whole time, watching her order Bai Ning Yuan

to get this and that.

Bai Ning Yuan thought of wanting to rebel, but Du Xiao Li blocked his mouth with a few words.

“If not for you, would we need to do all this? If you don’t work more, who will? Of course, if you don’t

want to stay here, then I won’t force you either.”

Bai Ning Yuan glared at Du Xiao Li, but in the end, he still compromised and obediently organized

those medicinal ingredients she mentioned for her.

And before dawn, Du Xiao Li nally managed to make three antidote pills. Although it wasn’t a lot, it

should still be enough. Afterwards, she can just make more and send to Luo Qi later.

Han Ming Yi gave the antidote to Leng Yi, letting him have someone deliver it to Luo Qi, who was far

away in Jiangnan.

“Right now, it’s still some time until morning. Why don’t you go rest for a while.” Han Ming Yi said.

“Alright, you all go rest too then.” Du Xiao Li said with a nod.

“Then let’s go rest together, want to rest in the same room?”

‘Bang——‘

Du Xiao Li knocked against the table, knocking over the cup on the table. She had the cup set

upright, and then stomped down on Han Ming Yi’s foot. “You’re thinking too much!”

With that said, she directly returned to her room.

“Flirting in front of my face, are you really that rumored ice-face wangye?” Bai Ning Yuan previously

was still sighing at Du Xiao Li’s medical skills, and when he turned around, this was the scene he

saw.

Han Ming Yi leaned against the back of the chair, as he stared at Bai Ning Yuan, “Say it, what’s your

goal for approaching Xiao Li?”

Seeing Han Ming Yi’s appearance, Bai Ning Yuan also pulled a chair over to sit down. Leaning against

the back, he had his feet propped up on the table and said, “Ding Wang, what are you talking

about?”

“Would you really stay here because of grapes? Han Ming Yi looked to Bai Ning Yuan unconvinced.

“This excuse of yours, only Li’er would believe. And wanting to cure grandmother of the gu is also an

excuse, right?”

Bai Ning Yuan changed from his previous sloppy mannerism and looked to Han Ming Yi, saying with

a smile, “Ding Wang doesn’t believe this? Then why don’t you tell me, for what reason am I staying

here for?”

“This prince is waiting for you to answer.” Han Ming Yi calmly said, but his body emitted an ice cold

air.

“Since Ding Wang is this impressive, then you denitely should be able to guess the reason.” Bai

Ning Yuan looked to Han Ming Yi, apprehensive of the air he suddenly emitted. However, this wasn’t

enough to make him surrender. “Seeing that you’re that worried about that girl, I’ll just tell you, I’ve

never thought of harming her. As for the reason why I’m staying here, this, I am unable to inform.

But since Ding Wang is this impressive, you’ll denitely be able to gure it out very soon.”

Han Ming Yi looked to Bai Ning Yuan, this Bai Ning Yuan that was dierent from the one in front of

Du Xiao Li, and faintly chuckled, “People from the Mandara Valley are indeed dierent. Although this

prince doesn’t know what your Mandara Valley wants to obtain from Li’er, if you don’t want to die,

then you all best leave immediately. If you all dare to harm Li’er in the slightest, then don’t blame

this prince for leading the troops to decimate your Mandara Valley.”

With that said, Han Ming Yi got up and prepared to leave.

“Ding Wang.” Bai Ning Yuan called out to Han Ming Yi, as he slowly got up and walked to Han Ming

Yi’s side, “Why do you think I’ve come to harm her, and not to protect her?”

“Protecting Li’er, this prince alone is enough.” Han Ming Yi said.

“Hahaha, Ding Wang is worried that I might steal that girl’s heart? If that really is the case, I actually

rather want to compete with Ding Wang.” Sensing the air around Han Ming Yi becoming increasingly

colder, Bai Ning Yuan laughed and said, “However, this no chest, no butt, little doll really isn’t to my

taste. Perhaps, only Ding Wang, who’s immune to feminine charm, would like this avor. Haven’t

slept all night, so tired ah, I’m going to go sleep rst.”

Bai Ning Yuan nished saying this and left the medicine room. Turning the corner to a place where

Han Ming Yi couldn’t see him, he nally heavily let out a breath, “According to rumors, not many

people can survive Ding Wang’s wrath, isn’t this extracting a tooth from the tiger’s mouth here?”

With that said, he rubbed his own neck and nally left.

Han Ming Yi watched Bai Ning Yuan leave and then walked out of the room. He lifted his head,

gazing toward the white horizon over the mountains, as he stood with his hands behind his back,

unknown as to what he was thinking.

After Du Xiao Li returned to her room, she removed her shoes and crawled into bed, burying her

head into her blankets. A good while later, she nally got up and quietly cursed, ‘that bastard’.

Afterwards, she nally sat up cross-legged on her bed and began practicing the wind blowing snow’s

inner energy manipulation, using her inner energy to dispel her body’s fatigue.

In the days afterwards, Du Xiao Li was busy everyday examining the Grand Empress Dowager’s body

and preparing medicinal meals. And whenever she had time, she taught Meng Jiang Zhuo how to

cook, or discussed medicine with Qing Cheng, or poison with Bai Ning Yuan. Her every day were all

without waves and disturbance, until one day, when the head of the Sui Yuan Club hastily came to
