Chapter 566 2 Your Highness
In the blink of an eye, a bolt of purple lightning shot straight in one direction.
Fu Wennian and the others exchanged glances and then followed the bolt of lightning.
They sped across the endless mountains and fields, chasing each other for eight hundred miles, before finally smelling a strong stench of blood near a cave in a mountain valley.
Luo Qing'an glanced at Fu Wennian, who nodded and rushed ahead to enter the cave.
Jiang Li's eyes flickered, as if she wanted to say something, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jiang Junze stride forward and block her behind him.
A surge of anger welled up inside Jiang Liqian, and just as she was about to step forward, Xu Youan grabbed her sleeve.
Jiang Liqian was stunned for a moment, then suppressed her temper.
The group ventured deeper into the cave and finally discovered a blood-red shadow, half-human and half-demon, near a spring.
Fu Wennian raised his hand, blocking everyone's path, and cautiously stepped forward alone, his right hand already forming a hand seal.
Suddenly, the shadow by the spring moved, and a torrent of blood rushed toward the group. The group was shocked, fearing there might be a hidden attack in the blood, and instinctively dodged it. Just then, the shadow moved with incredible speed, and before anyone could react, it gripped Luo Qing'an's neck tightly with one hand.
In an instant, streaks of blood welled up from her snow-white skin.
"Qingqing!"
"Third Senior Sister!"
Fu Wennian's expression changed. The once gentle man was now filled with terrifying rage in his eyes, and his initial defensive formation transformed into a killing move capable of tearing a person to pieces.
He stared coldly into the other person's eyes, each word dripping with icy chill: "I'll only say it once, let go of Qingqing."
A low laugh was mixed with a soft cough, and the babbling spring water reflected the outline of the figure.
With a refined and elegant demeanor, and captivating eyes, his narrow, almond-shaped eyes exuded endless charm with a single glance. The young man possessed a bewitching and alluring beauty, and his pink robe, made of fur, swayed gently with the flowing water, like apricot blossoms falling from a branch, lightly adorning the calm, mirror-like surface of the water.
Despite being surrounded by demonic energy, he possessed an air of noble elegance that drew attention from others.
The fox demon boy was clearly severely injured. His face was pale, and his body was covered in bloodstains that he hadn't had time to remove. He didn't even have the strength to retract his fox tail, which slumped to the ground. His fur was mottled and covered in blood, and one could vaguely see half of his tail, which had been bitten off by something, being desperately hidden among the bloodstains.
At this moment, he seemed to have been greatly stimulated. He gripped Luo Qing'an's neck tightly with one hand, glaring fiercely at the group of uninvited guests who had barged in. He bared his teeth, and his aura was violent.
Upon hearing Fu Wennian's threat, he glanced at him dismissively, first letting out a disdainful laugh, then coughing and gasping for breath in pain as the injury aggravated his body.
"A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to trespass on my territory and threaten me. Let's see if your killing formation is faster or my claws are faster."
"Speak! Where did you all come from? Why did you trespass into my cave? What is your purpose? If you don't explain clearly, I'll kill this woman first to whet my appetite!"
Fu Wennian was furious and about to make a move, but was stopped by a look from Luo Qing'an, who remained calm.
"Let go of my third senior sister first. We can talk things out calmly." Jiang Liqian stared nervously at the hand that was gripping Luo Qing'an, afraid that he would really go all out and drag others down with him. She quickly explained, "We are not bad people, nor do we want to harm you. Don't be nervous. We don't need to become mortal enemies!"
The fox demon boy remained unmoved and was about to say something when he suddenly felt a numbness in his arm, and then he staggered and fell to the ground.
Freed from his restraints, Luo Qing'an sneered, squatted down, and patted his face: "Has anyone ever told you that it's best not to touch a healer's body, or you'll dig your own grave!"
Fu Wennian rushed over immediately, took out the medicinal powder and applied it to Luo Qing'an's neck, his eyes almost overflowing with heartache and self-blame. He formed a healing array beneath her, and in the blink of an eye, the flowing light of the array healed the wound on her neck until it was smooth as new.
But Fu Wennian was still so nervous and worried that he felt like he was suffocating.
The moment Luo Qing'an was threatened by the fox demon with her throat, he felt his life was tied to that hand. All his reason and upbringing turned to dust. He could only see her, and only see the drops of blood rolling down her neck.
"I'm fine, it's just a scratch." Luo Qing'an didn't expect Fu Wennian to react so strongly. It was just a small scratch, yet he applied medicine, bandaged it, and used a healing array, making her seem so delicate.
Although this fox demon already has five tails, one of its tails was just broken off, and it was seriously injured. It couldn't even unleash one percent of its strength. How could Luo Qing'an be afraid of it?
Wen Nian and her junior sister, on the other hand, had their eyes practically glued to her neck. Their usually sharp minds were completely blank. It was only thanks to her junior brother's composure that she was able to cover for her sneak attack without making a sound. Otherwise, she really couldn't guarantee that she would be able to succeed in her sneak attack.
"Third Senior Sister, are you really alright? Are you hurt anywhere else?" Jiang Liqian asked anxiously, grabbing Luo Qing'an's hand and trying to check her over, but Luo Qing'an helplessly held her arm down.
Xu Youan shook his head, pulled his senior sister over, and then gestured with his lip towards Fu Wennian, who was holding Luo Qing'an's hand tightly. Jiang Liqian was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly touched her face and shifted her gaze to the fox demon who was slumped on the ground.
At this moment, Jiang Junze had already drawn his sword and placed it against his neck, the cold blade exuding a merciless killing intent.
The fox-spirit boy gave a bitter laugh, didn't struggle, raised his neck and sneered: "If you want to kill me, then kill me, do it."
Jiang Liqian found it strange. This fox demon called himself "this prince", so he must have a background. How come he was alone and seriously injured here?
She walked over, squatted down, and examined the boy's clothes and appearance. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You wouldn't happen to be the twelfth prince of the fox clan in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, would you?"
The fox demon boy stared wide-eyed at Jiang Liqian in astonishment, his finger trembling as he pointed at her: "You, you, you, how did you know?"
Jiang Liqian's expression instantly became complicated.
She not only knew where he came from, but she also knew that he would die here from his serious injuries and never be able to return to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Because she was hunted and persecuted in her previous life, she had no choice but to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons to hide. It was the fox clan elder who came out to find the remains of the Twelfth Prince who pointed out the way.
She hadn't thought of this before, but now...
After all, the fox clan had shown her kindness in her past life, and she didn't want to repay kindness with enmity. As long as he could tell her the truth about what happened in the village, she could help him heal his wounds and send him back to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons so that he wouldn't lose his life here.
