Chapter 95

The young Flame Tiger's eyes were weak, and blood kept flowing from its nostrils. Its limbs went limp, and it fell to the ground.

Zheng Shiwing had just run to its side and, as it fell, he caught it and simultaneously removed the leather whip that bound it.

Zheng Shiwing hurriedly took a bottle of medicine from his pocket and prayed, "I hope these medicines can save you."

Zheng Shiwing gently pried open the young Flame Tiger's mouth. The young Flame Tiger looked at Zheng Shiwing with a hostile gaze, as if it wanted to bite him, but it was too weak to do so. In the end, it could only let Zheng Shiwing feed it the medicine.

Ding Yue, lying on the bed, watched Zheng Shiwing's every move with surprise.

The young Flame Tiger had been fed a drug by Lang Liang that could cause its intestines to rupture. Without an antidote, it would die from the poison.

It had no connection to Zheng Shiwing, and whether it lived or died was none of his business. The fact that Zheng Shiwing ran over to give it medicine only showed that his heart was not as bad as he appeared.

"Could he have been scaring me just now?" Zheng Shiwing's actions made Ding Yue lower her guard somewhat, and she continued to observe him.

Zheng Shiwing gently stroked the young Flame Tiger's fur, looking at it with a pained expression as it clawed at its chest in discomfort.

"He can treat a young beast like this; his true nature must not be bad." Zheng Shiwing's gentle touch and the way he looked at the young Flame Tiger made Ding Yue's opinion of him start to change.

As the medicine went down, the young Flame Tiger's expression improved, and its face gradually looked better.

The young Flame Tiger's gaze towards Zheng Shiwing changed from hostility to gratitude.

"Little guy, you're free now, go home." Seeing that the young Flame Tiger was almost fully recovered, Zheng Shiwing put it down.

Zheng Shiwing turned and walked towards Ding Yue.

"Chirp chirp."

The young Flame Tiger followed behind Zheng Shiwing, its steps on the swamp making crisp sounds.

Zheng Shiwing thought the young Flame Tiger had vomited again and turned to look.

The young Flame Tiger lowered its head, like a child who had done something wrong, and followed closely behind Zheng Shiwing. It didn't notice that Zheng Shiwing had suddenly stopped and bumped into his thigh.

"Little guy, why are you following me?" Zheng Shiwing looked at the young Flame Tiger that had bumped into his leg, puzzled.

The young Flame Tiger lifted its head, tears welling in its eyes, and looked at Zheng Shiwing pitifully, as if begging him to take it in.

Zheng Shiwing pointed to Lang Liang's corpse and said, "That guy is dead, no one can hurt you anymore, go home."

The young Flame Tiger shook its head and pointed with its paw to the dead Flame Tiger that Lang Liang had killed, as if to say that its companions were all dead and it had no home to return to.

Seeing how pitiful the young Flame Tiger was, Zheng Shiwing nodded and said, "Then you can follow me."

"Roar roar!"

The tears in the young Flame Tiger's eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by a look of joy.

The young Flame Tiger ran quickly to Zheng Shiwing's front, wagged its tail, and turned back, wiping its face with its paws, as if making a funny face at Zheng Shiwing.

"This little guy." Zheng Shiwing chuckled and walked to the young Flame Tiger's side, pointing at it and said, "You don't have a name, and we met in this swamp, so I'll call you Xiao Ze."

"Roar roar!"

The young Flame Tiger seemed to like this name and kept raising its front paws to bow to Zheng Shiwing.

"Naughty guy." Zheng Shiwing chuckled and led Xiao Ze to Ding Yue.

Ding Yue's gaze was still as cold as before.

Zheng Shiwing, with a mischievous grin, said, "Hehe, what should I do to you? You're frowning so deeply, are you imagining what I'll do to you?"

Ding Yue's face stiffened, and she said in an extremely cold voice, "If you take another step, I'll kill you. Hand over the antidote you got from Lang Liang."

"You can only move your tongue now, how are you going to kill me? With your tongue?" Zheng Shiwing smacked his lips and said, "You woman! You're so poisoned, yet you're still thinking about killing me and giving me orders."

"If I give you the antidote, you'll kill me on the spot. I'm not that stupid. But we're from the same sect! You don't seem like a particularly evil person. I'm also quite kind..."

Kind? Looking at the corpse of Lang Liang, which was like mud on the ground, and then at Zheng Shiwing's smiling face, Ding Yue couldn't find any connection between the word "kind" and him.

"Besides, you're quite good-looking, it would be a waste for you to die here."

Zheng Shiwing, propping his cheek, looked serious, and Ding Yue suddenly realized that this seemingly cold and brave boy had a playful side, but... this playful side, when used on her, felt really terrible!

Zheng Shiwing didn't give Ding Yue a chance to speak, pointing at her and scolding, "Look, I haven't even saved you yet, and you're already looking at me like that. How can I dare to save you?"

"I can save you, but you have to promise me that once you recover, no matter what grudges or misunderstandings we had before, you won't come after me. And no matter what conflicts we have in the future, you won't try to kill me."

"Also, if the woman who came with you to chase me causes trouble again, you have to stop her. If you agree to these conditions, I'll give you the antidote."

Ding Yue didn't answer but looked at Zheng Shiwing coldly.

"Are you agreeing or not?" Zheng Shiwing didn't move forward, standing in place, looking at Ding Yue with confusion.

Ding Yue wanted to express her principles, but in this dangerous swamp, it wasn't a good place to do so. She frowned and ordered, "Stop talking nonsense and give me the antidote!"

"So you agree?" Zheng Shiwing still stood in place, a sly smile on his face.

Ding Yue, impatient, said, "I agree, I agree!"

"Very good." Zheng Shiwing nodded with satisfaction, took out the antidote he had obtained from Lang Liang, and threw it on Ding Yue's bed, "Here."

Ding Yue looked at the antidote with great anger and shouted at Zheng Shiwing, "Don't you know I can't move? Feed me..."

"What I said just now only includes giving you the antidote, not feeding you. If you want me to feed you, you have to promise me that from now on, if I need you to do something, you'll do it no matter what."

"If you agree, I'll feed you."

Zheng Shiwing realized this was a good opportunity to bargain. The woman in front of him seemed like someone who would keep her word and wouldn't go back on it.

"You bastard." Ding Yue was so angry with Zheng Shiwing that she was almost confused. How could this guy be so shameless and make such a demand?

Ding Yue glanced at Zheng Shiwing coldly and said, "So if you tell me to die, I have to die?"

"That's right." Zheng Shiwing realized his demand was indeed a bit excessive.

Zheng Shiwing thought for a moment, held up three fingers, and said, "Then let's change it to three things that don't go against your conscience. How does that sound?"

Even though she was extremely unwilling, to save her life, Ding Yue had to nod and say, "I agree."

"Even though your agreement is a bit forced, I still choose to believe you. Don't let me down." Zheng Shiwing's face was full of satisfaction as he stepped towards Ding Yue and picked up the antidote.

As Zheng Shiwing took the antidote out of the bottle, he ordered Ding Yue, "Open your mouth."

Ding Yue glared at Zheng Shiwing fiercely; no one had ever dared to order her around like this. In the end, she opened her mouth.

"Smells good." Smelling the orchid-like fragrance from Ding Yue's mouth, Zheng Shiwing inhaled sharply and put on a look of ecstasy.

Ding Yue's face turned red, completely red, and her gaze was so cold that it made one's soul tremble. This guy dared to put on such an expression in front of her.

"Feed me quickly. If you stand there dazed, I'll kill you!" Ding Yue pursed her lips and ordered.

Zheng Shiwing scratched his head and apologized, "Sorry, I lost my composure."

Noticing Ding Yue's gaze, he realized that if he continued like this, she would likely go back on her word and cause him trouble later. Zheng Shiwing had to put on a serious face and feed the antidote to Ding Yue, one by one.

Ding Yue's gaze softened slightly, and she moved her small mouth to swallow the medicine.

Zheng Shiwing wasn't sure about Ding Yue's poisoning situation and didn't know if she would go back on her word and kill him once she recovered.

Zheng Shiwing hurriedly said to Ding Yue, "You've taken the medicine, remember what you promised. I'll go first."

With that, Zheng Shiwing ran off.

This place was in the Immortal Spirit Mountains, full of dangers. He couldn't move, and if a beast appeared, he would be in trouble. Ding Yue could only shout at Zheng Shiwing, "I can't move for a while, you have to take me out of here."

"Can't move for a while?" Zheng Shiwing stopped, scratching his head and thinking about Ding Yue's words, "From her tone, it doesn't seem like she's joking."

"If I don't save her, she'll likely die here. Saving someone means saving them completely, so I'll take her out."

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Shiwing agreed to take Ding Yue out.

Zheng Shiwing looked around; it was all swamp, and Ding Yue couldn't move. The only way to take her out was to carry her.

Zheng Shiwing was afraid that Ding Yue would think he was taking advantage of her and would come after him again, so he said, "I can take you out, but you should see the situation around us."

"I have no other choice but to carry you out. If you don't think I'm taking advantage of you, I'll carry you out. If you think I am, I'll go out by myself."
