"I've come to find you. The servants said you'd gone out and it was so late you still hadn't returned. I was worried something might have happened to you! But then again, what are these little things?" Si Hongxi asked as he fought.
Wan Ruo sent out the talismans in her hand, sticking them on the white balls. Immediately, the white balls dissipated.
However, compared to the number of white demons, the number of talismans was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
"These are white demons! They look quite cute, all white, but they're quite troublesome! Be careful!" Wan Ruo replied as she dealt with them.
For the white demons, an ordinary person's sword was ineffective against them, but Si Hongxi's sword actually had sword qi!
Although his sword qi could hurt the white demons, facing such a large number, he was starting to feel strained.
Si Hongxi looked worriedly at Wan Ruo and suddenly noticed a white demon flying towards her from behind. Under its cute appearance, it had a huge blood - filled mouth!
He quickly stepped forward and protected Wan Ruo. "Ah..." he cried out in pain.
They could see that behind him, the white demon was biting down on his shoulder and wouldn't let go.
"My lord!" Wan Ruo looked at Si Hongxi with heartache and shouted, "Wanzi!"
Seeing this, Wanzi quickly stepped forward and kicked the white demon on Si Hongxi's back away.
Si Hongxi was also startled. He only felt as if something with great force had kicked the white demon off him.
Could there be something else here? He didn't have time to think much. He endured the pain and stood up again.
"Are you okay, my lord?" Wan Ruo asked with concern as she saw Si Hongxi's torn - open back bleeding profusely.
Si Hongxi's eyes turned fierce as he looked at the white demons and replied, "I'm fine!"
Just as Si Hongxi was about to raise his sword and go on a killing spree, he suddenly noticed that the white demons seemed to be trembling nervously.
He looked up and saw that somehow Bai Chen had suddenly appeared above Wan Ruo.
Then he landed gently, placed his hand on Wan Ruo's shoulder, and with a disdainful glance, the white demons immediately fled in panic and disappeared without a trace.
Wan Ruo watched the white demons disappear and slowly turned around. It was Bai Chen!
"Sure enough, Lord Bai Chen is even scarier! Gotta go!" Wanzi shouted and disappeared with a "bang" as soon as he saw Bai Chen.
At this time, Yun Jiu also rushed over. She was out of breath. Seeing the mess around Wan Ruo, she guessed that they must have been entangled by the white demons.
Why was Lord Bai Chen here, and the Prince of Pingnan too?
"Miss Ruo Ruo, are you all okay?" Yun Jiu ran forward and asked.
"I'm fine, but it's the prince..." Before Wan Ruo could finish, they heard a "thud" as Si Hongxi fainted to the ground.
Watching Si Hongxi fall to the ground, Bai Chen frowned slightly. He noticed that both Wan Ruo and Yun Jiu were looking at him.
Why are they looking at me? Don't tell me they want me to carry him? Bai Chen had a disdainful look on his face.
Wan Ruo looked at him with contempt. Unable to bear her intense gaze, Bai Chen coughed twice and picked up Si Hongxi in his arms with a look of disgust.
The three of them returned to the prince's mansion together.
"Miss Ruo Ruo, what happened to our prince?" Mu Qing asked with concern when he saw Si Hongxi seriously injured.
Bai Chen laid him flat on the bed. Si Hongxi winced in pain, his face showing discomfort, and large beads of sweat soaking his hair.
Seeing Mu Qing's anxious look, Bai Chen said coldly, "He's fine. He won't die."
"He was attacked by the white demons while trying to save me! Please keep the prince's injury a secret for now, especially from the princess dowager. I'm afraid she'll worry," Wan Ruo instructed.
Mu Qing naturally knew that the prince's injury couldn't be made public. He understood the gravity of the situation and nodded in agreement.
Wan Ruo stepped forward to turn Si Hongxi over. Looking at his injured back, it was a bit suppurated and there was still the filth of the evil spirits on it.
She was about to clean his wound. Before she could tear his clothes, Bai Chen stopped her.
"What are you doing?" Bai Chen asked coldly.
"Can't you tell? I'm cleaning his wound!" Wan Ruo replied in a puzzled tone.
She didn't realize how terrifying Bai Chen's eyes were at this moment. Seeing that Wan Ruo still wanted to continue regardless.
Bai Chen: "..."
He stepped forward and grabbed Wan Ruo's wrist, staring at her and saying, "I mean, you're a young girl. Don't you know the propriety between men and women? Do you want to take advantage of him while he's in this state?"
Only then did Wan Ruo realize this. She quickly withdrew her hand.
Seeing Wan Ruo's shy look, Bai Chen pulled her hand over and whispered in her ear, "If you want to be intimate, I'd be more than happy!" After saying that, he winked at her.
Goodness, at a time like this, he still had the mood to make such remarks!
Wan Ruo got goosebumps all over her body. Her face instantly turned red and she pushed Bai Chen away.
"You... you... you..." Wan Ruo was so angry that she trembled and stuttered.
The devil was truly a devil. He was so terrifying!
"Alright, leave this to me. You all go out," Bai Chen said coldly.
Yun Jiu naturally trusted Lord Bai Chen. Since Lord Bai Chen had said so, they could just wait outside with peace of mind.
On the other hand, Mu Qing was worried about this "rival in love" of the prince and didn't want to go out.
Seeing Mu Qing hesitate, Bai Chen glanced at him and said indifferently, "Do you still want to stay here and watch? Fine. But if your prince dies because you distracted me later, I won't be responsible."
Hearing this, Mu Qing's face changed instantly. He declared, "If anything happens to our prince, I won't let you off!"
Facing Mu Qing's threat, Bai Chen just snorted softly.
Wan Ruo quickly pulled Mu Qing outside and persuaded him, "Time is pressing. Come out with me quickly. Don't worry. With him here, the prince will be fine."
Hurry up and go! Wan Ruo and Yun Jiu pulled Mu Qing out of the room together and closed the door tightly to avoid any interruption.
At this time, Bai Chen helped Si Hongxi sit up and took off his clothes, revealing his fair skin, strong chest muscles, and eight - pack abs.
Even Bai Chen couldn't help but praise his figure, "Well, he's got something!"
Bai Chen looked at the injury on his back. It had indeed worsened a bit.
He frowned slightly. In Bai Chen's view, although the filthy qi of the white demons was insignificant, if an ordinary person was contaminated by it, it would quickly spread throughout the body. In the long run, they would surely die suddenly.
Although Si Hongxi's back injury had also worsened, it was worsening very slowly. It was probably because of his masculine qi.
He closed his eyes, focused his mind, sat cross - legged, and gently raised his right palm. A blue light flashed in his palm. He gently swiped it across the wound on Si Hongxi's back, and the wound miraculously healed on its own.
Then he circulated his qi to force out the filthy qi in Si Hongxi's body. Si Hongxi immediately felt a warm current in his body.
With a spurt of fresh blood, Si Hongxi slowly opened his eyes and recovered.
He looked at his bare body and saw Bai Chen getting off the bed. He smiled bitterly in his heart, "I didn't expect that I'd still have to be saved by you."
"It's okay. Just know that you can't compare to me. You don't have to remember this small favor," Bai Chen said indifferently.
