Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Chapter 42 A Frail Young Woman

Cang Lin then spoke up: "Xiao Xuexue, we've seen the show. Since they're all injured, let's go. Otherwise, people might suspect we're trying to take advantage of their misfortune." As he spoke, he shouted in the direction of Wang Chi.

Mu Xue was speechless; she felt like she was taking care of a child while she was with Cang Lin.

He's still an annoying kid.

Seeing Cang Lin's actions and expressions, Yuan Yuan's tense and anxious mood eased considerably.

Seeing that Mu Xue and the others were about to leave, Yuan Gui quickly persuaded them to stay, saying, "It's getting late, and it's not suitable to walk in the forest at night. Why don't you rest with us for the night before you go?"

“Yes, yes, Xiaoxue’er, we’ve only just met, and you’re already leaving? Stay and rest with us for the night,” Yuan Yuan said again, trying to persuade her to stay.

Mu Xue said apologetically, "It really won't work. We still have to get going. This is a matter of life and death."

Hearing Mu Xue say that it was a matter of accepting one's fate, the brother and sister could no longer dissuade her.

Only after the three had walked far away did Yuan Gui turn his gaze away, hoping to see Mu Xue again.

Seeing the three walk away, Wang Chi said, "They're just pretending. They even said there was something wrong with my pills. At such a young age, they don't learn anything good and just do things to deceive people. Second Young Master, I advise you to stay away from people like this in the future."

Yuan Yuan was furious and was about to argue with him when Yuan Gui stopped her and shook his head.

He clenched his fists at his sides; they were still too weak to fight head-on.

Mu Hu walked away before asking, "Master, why did you give them pills?"

Mu Xue stared blankly ahead. Just when Mu Hu thought she wouldn't answer, she spoke up: "I suddenly want to protect Yuan Yuan's innocence."

Upon hearing this answer, Cang Lin and Mu Hu exchanged a glance, and neither of them spoke again.

When they reached a spot very close to the stream, Mu Xue finally spoke up: "Let's rest here tonight. We'll lure out the Blackfin Snake tomorrow."

After saying that, she took out the sleeping bag that Granny Kang had made for her and crawled inside.

Cang Lin looked at the thing in Mu Xue's hand in surprise. He leaned closer and asked, "What is this thing?" He had a look of complete unfamiliarity with the world.

"Something you don't know," Mu Xue said expressionlessly, then turned away without looking at him and went to sleep.

If things go smoothly tomorrow, I might be able to attract a blackfin serpent. If not, it will be very tiring.

Mu Hu also leaned against the seat closest to Mu Xue, closing his eyes to rest.

Silent all night.

Before dawn, Mu Xue had already gotten up to exercise, a habit she had formed. Her body had now regained the strength of her previous life. A thin layer of sweat covered her body.

He took out the Vast Scroll from his person and began to read it carefully.

Mu Hu did not disturb them, and Cang Lin's whereabouts were unknown.

Soon, he returned carrying a pheasant in each hand and casually tossed it to Mu Hu.

He walked over to Mu Xue's side and saw that she was reading the Vast Scripture, looking at it very intently. He didn't disturb her and just sat down and waited.

Sensing the change in the person beside him, Cang Lin looked at Mu Xue with some surprise.

He obtained the Vast Expanse Technique by chance, but at that time he had already been cultivating another advanced technique, so he had always carried this technique with him and had never practiced it.

Mu Xue's aura gradually became ethereal.

He could see her sitting there, but he couldn't feel her aura.

If he weren't sitting right next to her, he would easily have forgotten that she was even there.

Mu Xue closed her eyes and sensed her surroundings; every blade of grass and every tree appeared clearly in her mind.

Cang Lin sat beside him, Mu Hu was cleaning up pheasants not far away, and they were watching the wild rabbits in the distance.

Also, was that a person?

Mu Xue suddenly opened her eyes and warned, "Someone's coming."

Cang Lin had sensed someone approaching long ago, but the aura was too weak, so he didn't pay any attention.

Although the central area is very dangerous, many hunters still come one after another, hoping to try their luck.

This is already in the middle of the perimeter, and not many people come here, especially someone as weak as him.

Mu Xue stood up and said to Cang Lin, "Let's go take a look."

"How come I didn't know you were such a busybody?" With that, he got up and walked away with Mu Xue.

After walking for about five minutes, you can hear low, panting breathing. Judging from the sound, the person is seriously injured.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Leng Quan. His face was flushed, and he was leaning against a tree, struggling to get up, but he failed several times, and his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps, neither too loud nor too soft, neither too fast nor too slow. He looked warily toward the source of the sound.

He gritted his teeth and persevered, trying hard to see who it was. As the person got closer, he finally saw clearly that it was Mu Xue!

His tense heart immediately relaxed.

"Miss Mu..." She had barely uttered the name when she lost consciousness.

Upon hearing the voice, Mu Xue recognized the disheveled man covered in blood as Leng Quan, the Regent's guard.

She rushed forward to check on him and found that he was exhausted and had a more serious internal abdominal injury.

She fed Leng Quan a second-tier hemostatic pill, and when the bleeding stopped, she took out a fifth-tier Heavenly Spirit Pill and gave it to him.

Leng Quan's pale lips had taken on a touch of pink.

Mu Xue said to Cang Lin, "He has too much blood on him. Carry him back and clean his wounds."

"Me?" Cang Lin pointed to himself.

Mu Xue looked at him as if he were an idiot and said, "Otherwise what? Do you expect such a delicate woman like me to carry you?"

"Little Xuexue, I'm also very delicate!" Cang Lin said in a coquettish voice, and even twisted his body.

Mu Xue kicked him in the shin, making him howl in pain.

"Wow, with that kind of force, you'll never be associated with frailty in your entire life," he said, hopping on one foot.

"Stop talking nonsense and memorize it." Without waiting for him, she turned around and walked back.

"So fierce, let's see how you get married in the future." He muttered under his breath, but still obediently grabbed Lengquan and carried him away.

Having already taken a few steps, Mu Xue said coldly, "This young lady has no intention of getting married."

Cang Lin was stunned when he heard this. Was his hearing that good? He could hear him speaking so softly?

Hearing the commotion, Mu Hu came over and saw Leng Quan on Cang Lin's shoulder. He asked, "What's going on?"

"Your master has suddenly taken a kind heart. It's just a pity for my newly changed clothes." Then, he disdainfully tossed Leng Quan into Mu Hu's arms and walked straight towards the river.

Mu Hu hurriedly steadied the unconscious Leng Quan and looked at Mu Xue: "Master, what should we do with him?"

"Ah Hu, find him some clean clothes to change into, and apply medicine to his wounds. I've already given him some medicine, and he should wake up in a few hours. Clean up the blood and qi." Mu Xue instructed.

"Yes, I'll go right away." After he finished speaking, he also went to the river to wash himself, carrying Lengquan.

Why is Leng Quan here? And what about Ye Shangyuan?
