Chapter 82

Having been stung by the Illusion Poison Bees, Zixi began to experience intense hallucinations.

At the same time, the poison from the Green Demon Hand was also very peculiar, making her lose herself in desire. Her beautiful jade hands were even tearing at her clothes, creating tears that exposed her snow-white skin.

"Qing You practices evil arts, specifically absorbing the true qi of women to strengthen himself. To make it easier to capture female warriors, the Green Demon Hand must have a toxicity that makes women lose themselves in desire! This is going to be quite a challenge!"

Zhang Ruochen didn't know what to do, so he could only give Zixi a Holy Pinch Pill first.

Then, Zhang Ruochen supported Zixi's jade arm, carried her on his back, and planned to leave the area.

Although Zixi was an assassin and likely came to kill him, Zhang Ruochen could have left her to her fate, letting her live or die on her own.

However, they had fought side by side earlier. If it weren't for Zixi killing those seven warriors, Zhang Ruochen might not have been able to break through the encirclement alone.

"Mm... Save me..."

Zixi's body was soft, as if she were drunk, her beautiful cheeks rubbing against Zhang Ruochen's face, her breathing becoming more rapid.

Her soft jade hands involuntarily explored inside Zhang Ruochen's clothes, kneading his chest.

Zhang Ruochen, carrying Zixi, ran quickly through the dense forest, trying to escape from the site of the battle as soon as possible.

Zixi, who was on his back, kept touching him, her soft red lips kissing his face, leaving a strawberry-like mark on his neck.

"Is this ever going to end?"

Zhang Ruochen turned his head forcefully, slightly bumping Zixi's face away.

At this moment, Zixi's consciousness was blurred, and her hallucinations became even more intense.

With a "rip," she tore her clothes, exposing large areas of her snow-white skin, leaving only a close-fitting moon-white fur garment. Her ample bosom pressed against Zhang Ruochen's back.

Her breathing became even more rapid, her body extremely hot, and she rubbed against Zhang Ruochen's back, kissing his face again, leaving wet kiss marks.

"Screech!"

Suddenly, the cry of a Green-Scaled Eagle came from above.

Zhang Ruochen's face changed, and he immediately stopped, lying down in a depression on the ground, covering himself with grass and leaves.

Zhang Ruochen held his breath and looked up.

Prince Hexing stood on the back of the Green-Scaled Eagle, circling in the sky, searching everywhere.

In addition to Prince Hexing, there was another white-clad man riding a two-headed snow owl, also flying in the sky.

Their gazes were fixed on the ground, searching for something.

"Save... save me... hic... hic..."

Zixi's eyes were dazed, her breathing heavy, and she tightly hugged Zhang Ruochen, her jade hands again reaching into his robe.

"Don't move!"

Zhang Ruochen pressed Zixi down, one hand tightly covering her lips, the other hand restraining her arms, afraid that she would move and cry out, alerting the two men above.

If someone passed by at this moment, they would definitely think that Zhang Ruochen was trying to take advantage of Zixi.

Prince Hexing, standing on the back of the Green-Scaled Eagle, ultimately failed to find Zhang Ruochen and Zixi, his eyes turning icy cold. "Damn, they escaped! This time, the Four Directions Kingdom suffered heavy losses, even Feng Zhiyi and Qing You were killed by them. If I don't find them and tear them to pieces, I won't be able to quench my hatred."

Feng Zhilin, standing on the back of the two-headed snow owl, also had a cold look in his eyes. "The Ninth Prince of Yunwu Kingdom, right? He killed my brother; I will make him pay a heavy price."

Feng Zhilin was Feng Zhiyi's older brother, his cultivation reaching the Great Extreme Position of the Xuanji Realm. He had become an outer palace disciple of the Wu City Academy two years ago.

Feng Zhilin was one of the examiners for the first round of the academy exams, responsible for rescuing candidates in danger.

Feng Zhilin said, "Since they have escaped, I should leave. If other examiners discover that I was with you, they would definitely report it to the academy elders, accusing me of favoritism."

Prince Hexing nodded and said, "Senior Brother Feng, you go first! This time they were lucky, but they won't be so lucky next time!"

Then, Prince Hexing and Feng Zhilin rode their mounts in two different directions and flew away.

"So he is Feng Zhiyi's older brother. To withdraw the silver coins from Feng Zhiyi's two-star noble card, I must find him." Zhang Ruochen memorized Feng Zhilin's appearance.

Suddenly, a huge force came from below, and Zixi broke free from Zhang Ruochen's restraint, pressing him down.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and pointed a finger, striking Zixi's forehead.

Zixi's qi lake violently shook, her eyes went black, and she fell onto Zhang Ruochen's body like a pile of spring mud.

"Truly a terrifying poison, it can make an ice-cold assassin become so wanton. Fortunately, I was here; otherwise, you would have lost both your life and your dignity today!"

Zhang Ruochen moved Zixi's body and carried her again.

After half an hour of running, Zhang Ruochen finally found a relatively safe cave.

Zhang Ruochen placed Zixi on the ground and noticed that her lips had turned blue, her face pale. If she wasn't treated in time, she would surely die.

Zhang Ruochen made Zixi sit on the ground, then walked behind her.

He also sat down, circulating his true qi, the second level of the *Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture* appearing in his mind.

"The second level of the *Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture*, the Great Bright Jade Heaven!"

As the true qi continuously circulated, Zhang Ruochen's true qi became purer, turning jade-white.

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Ruochen's palms struck Zixi's exposed jade back simultaneously.

Jade-white true qi flowed from Zhang Ruochen's palms, entering Zixi's body through the Zhongtian Meridian on her back.

The first level of the *Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture* is the Great Yellow Heaven.

The second level is the Great Bright Jade Heaven.

Each level of cultivation brings a qualitative change to Zhang Ruochen's true qi, not only making it purer than that of warriors at the same level but also giving it certain attributes.

For example, the second level of the *Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture* cultivates Jade Purity True Qi, which can purify evil and poison.

In other words, as long as Zhang Ruochen successfully cultivates the second level of the *Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture*, even if he can't be immune to all poisons, he can at least be immune to most of them.

The Jade Purity True Qi circulated through Zixi's body for a full cycle, then flowed back to Zhang Ruochen's palms, returning to his qi lake.

This cycle repeated thirty-six times, and the toxins in Zixi's body were significantly reduced. Her lips turned red again, and a rosy flush appeared on her face.

"Ah!"

A mouthful of dark green poison blood was spat out.

Zixi slowly woke up, feeling a chill on her body. She immediately looked at herself and found that she was completely naked, exposed to the air.

Zhang Ruochen's hands were on Zixi's back, and he said, "Don't move. Follow me in circulating your true qi. Only then can we completely remove the toxins from your body."

Hearing Zhang Ruochen's words, Zixi's heart became even more agitated.

"Boom!"

A powerful force erupted from her body, sending Zhang Ruochen flying backward.

She covered her chest with one hand to prevent exposure, and with the other hand, she formed a sword gesture, pointing her index and middle fingers at Zhang Ruochen's forehead, coldly saying, "What did you do to me?"

Zhang Ruochen was speechless and said, "Can you calm down? If I wanted to do something to you, I would have done it long ago! Besides, it wasn't me who did something to you, but you who did something to me. Look at the red marks on my neck, my clothes, and the scratches on my chest. If I hadn't stopped you in time..."

"Shut up!"

Zixi saw the red marks on Zhang Ruochen's neck, her face turning red with embarrassment. She bit her lips tightly and immediately took two steps back.

Her body was still weak, and her steps were unsteady, causing her to fall to the ground, breathing heavily.

Zhang Ruochen stood up and sighed, "I told you not to move. You're still so stubborn. The toxins in your body haven't been completely removed, and they could flare up at any time."

"None of your business!"

Zixi took a small jade bottle from her spatial ring, poured out a detoxification pill, and swallowed it.

Suddenly, she saw Zhang Ruochen walking towards her, covering her body with a large robe.

Zixi was slightly stunned, lowered her head, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Apart from the marks on your neck, nothing else happened between us, right?"

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "What else could have happened?"

Zixi's face turned even redder, and she bit her lips, looking at the handsome young man in front of her, feeling a wave of embarrassment and wanting to escape from this place to avoid being seen in such an embarrassing state.

"Right! There's one more thing!"

Zhang Ruochen took out a sleeve fish intestine sword and handed it to Zixi, saying, "I found this sword in your sleeve. Here it is!"

Zixi's face changed, and she stared at the sleeve fish intestine sword in Zhang Ruochen's hand, saying, "You... You already know I'm an assassin from the Underworld Gate?"

Zhang Ruochen looked at the sleeve fish intestine sword in his hand, nodded, and smiled, saying, "Who else would use such a sword besides an assassin from the Underworld Gate?"

Zixi's beautiful eyes fixed on Zhang Ruochen, and she said, "Since you know I'm an assassin from the Underworld Gate, you should know that I came to kill you. Why did you save me?"

"I couldn't just watch you die in the wilderness, could I?"

Zhang Ruochen continued, "Besides, if you had really tried to kill me, you would have been dead long ago! How could you still be standing here alive? Since you can't kill me and didn't kill me, why shouldn't I save you?"

Zixi felt extremely ashamed, her lips almost bleeding from biting them, and she said, "Zhang Ruochen, has anyone ever told you that you're a jerk?"
