"Do you really think you can just come and go as you please? Do you take Qiling Villa for a marketplace?"
Just as the three were about to leave, a charming and enchanting woman led her soldiers into the water prison and surrounded them tightly.
Tang Youyou forced herself to stay calm. The more critical the situation, the less she could lose her composure. She still had some poison, which would be enough to deal with these people.
She quickly threw a poison gas bomb on the ground, stuffed an antidote into Su Bai's mouth, and shouted, "Run!"
"Quickly inform the Lady and the Lord. There are intruders in Qiling Villa!" After saying that, the man fell to the ground unconscious.
Tang Youyou grasped her sword tightly and protected the two behind her as she broke out of the water prison. However, she didn't expect that the outside was already fully on high alert. With just her own strength, she couldn't handle it at all. Even though she had poison, she was outnumbered.
If Rong Xun were here, it would be great. She didn't know where Ye Yue had gone. At this moment, she realized that there was no one by her side.
There were still two poison gas bombs left. She stuffed them into Su Ran's clothes and said, "You two go first. I'll deal with them here."
"No!"
"Go quickly. I have a way to deal with them, but Su Bai's injury can't be delayed any longer. Hurry up!"
Under the current circumstances, if they stayed here, they would only be captured by these people together.
Unable to resist Tang Youyou's insistence, Su Ran carried Su Bai on his back and left first.
Tang Youyou didn't have many silver needles left. She used up all the poison on her body, but these people had anticipated it. As soon as she took out the poison, they all covered their mouths and noses.
She sneered. Not all poisons could only enter the body through the mouth and nose. She scattered the yellow powder into the air. Those who got the powder on their skin soon had their skin fester and emit a foul smell.
She ran for her life. Just as she was about to escape from the villa, unexpectedly, someone struck her hard on the back of her neck. She gradually lost consciousness.
"Lady, how should we deal with this person?"
"Throw her into the dungeon."
"Yes."
When she woke up again, her whole body was soaked. Her body was tightly tied to a wooden frame and she couldn't move at all.
"Hey, you're awake?"
The person who spoke was holding a whip covered in blood. She didn't know if it was her blood or someone else's. She only felt that her whole body ached unbearably, burning from head to toe.
"I said, why did you have to come to Qiling Villa? Do you really think you're invincible? You've caused such a big stir. Even if you're the Holy Maiden, it's not easy to handle. The Lady is furious. If it weren't for the Lord pleading for you, you'd be dead by now."
"The Lord."
A masked man appeared in the darkness. The man immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.
"This person is awake. What should we do with her, my Lord?"
"Leave."
"This..." The man looked embarrassed. This person was handed over to him by the Lady to watch over, but he didn't dare to disobey the Lord's order. "Yes."
After the man left, the man called the Lord walked up to her. Tang Youyou stared straight at him. The redness between her eyebrows had become even deeper. The arrow poison had already invaded her lungs.
"What do you want to do?" Tang Youyou showed a look of vigilance in her eyes as she saw him approaching. She was like a fish on the chopping board and an ant in someone else's hand. As long as he wanted, she would never see the light of day again.
"Why are you scared? Since you had the guts to break into Qiling Villa, didn't you think about the consequences?"
The man's voice was deep and seemed a bit angry.
Tang Youyou snorted coldly. "There's no need to say more. Kill me or torture me. It's up to you."
Seeing that she was still so stubborn even when facing death, the man got angry but still held it back. He drew out the dagger in his hand and stabbed at her.
Tang Youyou smiled bitterly. She didn't expect that in the end, she would fall into the hands of a person whose name she didn't even know. Her life had been full of regrets.
Why didn't she feel any pain? She opened her eyes and saw that the ropes on her hands and feet had been cut. She moved her wrists that were already bleeding from being tied and looked at the man in front of her.
"What are you doing?"
The man didn't even look at her. He wrapped his big arm around her and pulled her into his arms. He grabbed her wrist and checked the injuries on her body. The most serious one was the wound on her chest, which had turned black. And the redness between her eyebrows was very heavy. If the poison was delayed any longer, she might not live much longer.
She let out a scream. This man actually picked her up by the waist. Suddenly, her body was suspended in the air. She was so scared that she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.
"What are you doing!"
"If you don't want to die, don't move."
The man's cold words made it impossible for her not to obey his order.
Her head was dizzy and she felt sleepy. Whether it was because the embrace was too warm or the fragrance on this man made her feel at ease, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"My Lord, this person broke into Qiling Villa. How can you place her in your room?" Tang Yan saw the woman in the man's arms from afar. She had been with the Lord for a long time and had never even touched his hand. She didn't expect that this woman could make the Lord treat her so tenderly.
"Shut up and get out."
The man gently placed the woman in his arms on the bed. He slowly took off her dirty clothes. Seeing the shocking wounds, he frowned tightly and controlled his emotions as he wiped the blood around the wounds clean.
He took out a pill from the box, put it in his mouth and melted it, then slowly fed the medicinal soup into her mouth drop by drop.
Tang Youyou seemed to be having a dream. In the dream, Rong Xun held her in his arms and gently licked her lips. It was the familiar temperature, but that temperature disappeared the next moment. She shouted everywhere but didn't get a response.
"Rong Xun, Rong Xun, don't leave me."
The man tightly held her hand and whispered softly in her ear, "You'er, I'm here."
As if getting a response, the person on the bed slowly calmed down.
The man opened the medicine box, scooped out a large piece of ointment and gently applied it to the terrifying scar on her chest. He bandaged it up, then applied the ointment to all the big and small wounds on her body. Only then did he cover her with the quilt.
At this time, Su Ran was taking care of the still unconscious Su Bai in the inn. Seeing that Tang Youyou hadn't returned for a long time, he couldn't help but feel worried.
"Could she have been captured by the Mo Clan people?"
Su Ran felt extremely remorseful. It was all his fault that he had dragged the Holy Maiden down. If he went back to the Blood Clan and asked the elders for help, maybe he could rescue the Holy Maiden.
She didn't know how long she had been sleeping. Tang Youyou only felt that her body was heavy and it was even difficult to lift her arms.
She opened her hazy eyes and struggled to sit up.
"Where am I? Have I died?"
She saw the wound on her chest. Although it wasn't fully healed, it was no longer black and bleeding, and new gauze had been put on. She looked around. The room was magnificent. It was obviously not an ordinary person's room.
The memories from before slowly came back to her. She remembered that in the end, she was carried away by someone.
