Chapter 107: Bite

The air was chilly in the cave. If they didn’t start a fire, they would catch a cold. Fortunately, Jun Huang had brought a flintstone with her. There was also some dry grass on the ground.

Once the fire was started, Jun Huang squatted down and rubbed at her cold fingers.

for Nan Xun, but she was good at compartmentalized her feelings. She would not allow herself to lose control. How could she let herself fall in love when her sole focus was on getting revenge?

But again and again, Nan Xun had put her safety above his own. A few days ago he had jumped off after her without hesitation. And now this. She couldn’t stop her heart from racing.

Everything could be faked, but this feeling? It could only be real.

It was as if a thunderbolt had struck her in the heart. She broke into goosebumps at her realization.

Nan Xun, on the other hand, was blushing hard because of the intimacy.

He had lived his whole life on battlefields. He rarely came in contact with any women. Things changed after he met Jun Huang earlier this year.

Jun Huang usually dressed in men’s clothes, though. Sometimes she could be even more masculine than many men. Her every move showed a strong and resilient character.

Being this close to Jun Huang with everyone watching, Nan Xun couldn’t stop his blood from rushing to his face. He didn’t dare to look Jun Huang in the eyes.

He spat out a mouthful of tainted blood. It was a shocking sight. The incident had made everyone more vigilant.

Jun Huang had known that she might encounter snakes or other vermins before she came to Mount Wuming. To be on the safe side, she had prepared some medicine that could cleanse poison, which was exactly what she needed now.

Once her head was clear enough, she asked for her rucksack. She took out a silver needle and inserted it into her wound. The skin turned from a bluish grey to red, but the red was not the red of blood. It was more vibrant and harsh.

Nan Xun frowned worriedly. “What does this mean?”

Jun Huang jabbed her ankle a dozen times before dropping the silver needle on the ground. A puff of green smoke went up and in a blink of an eye, the needle disappeared, corroded by the venom.

Nan Xun and the guards looked at Jun Huang with wide eyes, worried that something might happen to her as well.

Jun Huang took a deep breath. Seeing the pale faces surrounding her, she put on a smile and said gently, “I’m fine.”

As if she had used up all her strengths to utter those few words, she fell forward and almost hit the ground. Fortunately Nan Xun had been keeping an eye on her. He caught her just in time.
