502: Ming Xi Gets Injured

Such a pure-hearted girl, it was a pity for her to die! Ai Lin thought.

While Ai Lin was thinking this, those around Zi Cheng thanked her for saving their lives. Zi Cheng repeatedly told them they didn’t have to be so polite, but everyone left a token keepsake with her before leaving anyway.

She won so many favorability points; it was an excellent harvest. The only people she didn’t get points from were Ai Lin, Tian Ya and Zo. Tian Ya, because of being pushed by Feng Wu, looked especially bad.

Tian Ya had grown up alongside the prince at the royal palace after being selected by Ming Xi to be his personal body guard.

His job was to protect the prince and yet he was the one to escape while the prince was the one who stayed behind. He was doing a horrible job as a bodyguard! Even though he had not intended leave, the result was still the same. It would have been strange if his expression wasn’t bad.

While they were busy being worried, Rui Baby and Little Seven finally made it back to the mansion. Little Seven, upon arriving, immediately sprayed the boundary covering the land surrounding the mansion with her flames.

The heavy rain stopped and a gap filled with bright sunlight opened up. Ming Xi grabbed Feng Wu’s hand and immediately jumped up, trying to reach the hole, but just as he did so, the little girl reappeared by his side with eyes full of anger.

She wanted revenge for the burn from Feng Wu earlier. She couldn’t touch Feng Wu, but she sure as heck could touch her man. Did they think they could hurt her without repercussion? Her eyes were filled with hate and her soft little hands approached Ming Xi without warning.

She sneered and touched Ming Xi just as he was mid jump.

Taken by surprise, Ming Xi’s reaction came too slow. He failed to dodge and could only hit her with some light magic.

The little girl smiled coldly and let his magic hit her. She watched as frost formed on Ming Xi’s hand. But unexpected the frost did not spread to the rest of his body as expected. Only his hand became frozen.

Feng Wu grabbed Ming Xi’s other hand and dragged him through the gap in the barrier.

The little girl let out an angry roar as she watched Ming Xi disappear with Feng Wu through the gap. That human! How could he not die from the extreme yin?! She couldn’t believe they were able to escape her mansion.

The long- missed sunshine shone on Ming Xi and Feng Wu.

“Classmate Ming Xi!”

The exclamation sounded as soon as they landed.

Within two seconds, an old man with a staff flew to Ming Xi’s side at a speed that belied his elderly age.

“Ming Xi, Feng Wu!”

Mogefei and the others rushed over soon after the old man and surrounded Feng Wu and Ming Xi.

None of the other groups were around. Mogefei and the rest of the team were still in the area because they were waiting for the teacher from the school to arrive.

Ming Xi had stayed behind and acted as a decoy in order to save them. Such a great favor, how could they leave? No, they stayed and waited for the teacher’s arrival.

They’d been there all day. The flow of time inside the barrier was different from the external world. Though it felt like they’d been inside the mansion for many days, in reality it had only been a day.

The teacher had been worried about Ming Xi and Feng Wu, so he had used teleportation magic to travel. It had only taken him an hour. Other necromancers were coming as well, however, they would not be able to enter the enchantment and save the students.

Fortunately, Feng Wu and Ming Xi came out on their own, otherwise when the teacher forced open the barrier, who knew if the two of them would still be alive.

“Ming Xi’s hand!” Zi Cheng covered her mouth in shock when she saw the popsicle that his hand had become.

The teacher’s face paled. “This is extreme yin!”

Extreme yin killed invisibly. If not for the divine blood protecting Ming Xi, he would have been dead.

“Jiji!” Little Seven flew over and chirped. She spat red flame out at his hand and melted the ice away.

“Look! The ice melted! The ice melted!” Ai Lin happily cried out.

The old magician hurried to check Ming Xi’s injury. His expression did not improve.

“Teacher, what’s wrong with my arm?” Ming Xi still couldn’t not feel his hand despite the ice being melted away.

Even if the teacher didn’t say anything, Ming Xi knew his hand was in trouble. Perhaps he would be unlucky and need to amputate.

“Multiple nerves in your hand have become necrotic. I must take you back to school immediately. If we wait too long, I’m afraid you may lose your hand!” The old magician spoke seriously.

“Then what are you waiting for Teacher! Take him away please!” Tang spoke up immediately. Ming Xi was his savior. He didn’t want his savior to be crippled!

“I’ll go too.” Feng Wu stubbornly held onto Ming Xi’s hand.

“No, you stay and complete the task. The mission is very important, and we can’t afford to fail. I’ll probably have to return home anyway. Even if the injury is serious, my family will have a solution, so don’t worry about me. Just wait, I’ll be back.” Ming Xi pulled his hand back from Feng Wu and used it to pat her head.

He knew his injury was serious and that the likelihood was high he would have to return home to the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom to recover.

He was worried the mission would be more dangerous, especially since now there were blood clan members with unknown intentions roaming about.

Feng Wu nodded expressionlessly as she looked at Ming Xi. “I’ll wait for you to come back.”

“Okay.” Ming Xi’s eyes were full of tenderness.

The old magician watched the ambiguous scene and sighed. Apparently even the next Moon emperor had a sweetheart.

Ming Xi left quickly after that, but before he did, he promised Feng Wu he would let her know about his injury.

Feng Wu stayed with the team and continued with the mission with everyone else. She was already missing him. He had said she didn’t know what love was, but he had said it was something akin to like. She definitely liked him. She wouldn’t have let him by Xiao Ye’s father if she hadn’t.

Back near the mansion, two gray-haired old men arrived not long after everyone left. The little girl inside the mansion suddenly felt a strong forboding. . .
