"Damn it! I'm going to find him!" Snapping out of the numbness in her mind, Churi Huaizhu slapped the table. She was determined to rescue her beloved. This time, she would never let him get hurt again!
"Wait. Here's the location. Go and look for him there." Mei Sanniang took out a note from her waist and handed it to Churi Huaizhu, who had just stood up.
It seemed that Churi Huaizhu was about to set off immediately. Mei Sanniang couldn't bear to see her anxious look, but there was nothing more she could do to help.
"Okay. Thank you." Churi Huaizhu took the note, unfolded it to take a look, then carefully folded it up and stuffed it into her waist. Without bothering about Mei Sanniang, she turned around to prepare for the rescue of Wangquan Baye.
Mei Sanniang watched Churi Huaizhu bustling around to make preparations. She moved her lips but didn't say anything more.
Following the location on the note, Churi Huaizhu searched all the way for Wangquan Baye's trail. She didn't know how long she had walked before she saw the unconscious Wangquan Baye on a broad area that looked like a cave.
Churi Huaizhu felt a rush of joy. The stone that had been hanging in her heart finally dropped. Just as she was about to run towards Wangquan Baye, a group of people suddenly appeared. It took Churi Huaizhu a long time to recognize that the person leading them was Lan Ling. The people behind her were all strangers, faces she had never seen before.
Churi Huaizhu's expression turned cold. She stared coldly at Lan Ling and her group, wanting to see what tricks these insects were up to.
"Why is it you again? What tricks are you trying to play this time?" Churi Huaizhu said coldly, with no emotion in her eyes.
"What? Have you gained more confidence after becoming a concubine of the Wangquan family?" Lan Ling tried hard to appear calm, but her face was still full of jealousy and mockery. Her already unremarkable features looked even uglier.
"Moreover, it was you who broke your promise first! You didn't leave Wangquan Baye! And you were even insatiable enough to marry him as a concubine! You're really shameless!" Lan Ling laughed out of anger. Her cackling echoed in the cave, extremely eerie. Her eyes seemed to be poisoned as she shot a sharp look at Churi Huaizhu.
"Humph." Churi Huaizhu was amused by her even more shameless behavior. She didn't take what Lan Ling said to heart.
"Cut the crap!" Churi Huaizhu interrupted her. At the moment, looking at the unconscious Wangquan Baye, she didn't want to waste a single moment on useless people.
"Fine. You're really straightforward. To put it simply, if you want to rescue Wangquan Baye, take this pill." Lan Ling took out a small porcelain bottle from her waist and threw it to Churi Huaizhu on the opposite side.
"What is this?" Mei Sanniang asked Lan Ling warily. This woman definitely had no good intentions.
"Hehe. You'll know once she takes it." Lan Ling laughed strangely and raised her eyebrows at Mei Sanniang.
"Don't take it! Who knows what bad ideas she has!" Mei Sanniang shouted to remind Churi Huaizhu.
"If you don't take it, your Wangquan Baye will surely die."
Lan Ling played with her nails nonchalantly, as if what she was saying wasn't something as serious as killing someone, but as natural as eating and sleeping.
"Don't listen to her! Never take it!" Mei Sanniang only knew that Lan Ling was no good person. She couldn't let Churi Huaizhu fall into her trap.
Churi Huaizhu completely ignored them. She opened the porcelain bottle on her own, without even looking at what was inside. She took out the pill and swallowed it. Mei Sanniang was still anxiously reminding her, but Churi Huaizhu seemed not to hear at all. She quickly swallowed the pill and then looked at Lan Ling.
"Now can I go? Please get out of the way." Churi Huaizhu's eyes were cold and emotionless. She just wanted to quickly check on Wangquan Baye.
"Sure. Go ahead." Lan Ling smiled and made way for Churi Huaizhu.
Without hesitation, Churi Huaizhu strode towards Wangquan Baye. Just then, Lan Ling, who should have been standing quietly by the side, suddenly attacked.
"Die!" With that, she struck at Churi Huaizhu. The people behind her also moved accordingly.
Churi Huaizhu was already on the verge of a mental breakdown. Being provoked like this, all the moves she hadn't mastered before now became extremely proficient. She was on the verge of going berserk.
How could Lan Ling and her group be a match for the berserk Churi Huaizhu? Churi Huaizhu threw out her bamboo flute. A ball of raging fire surrounded the group. Caught off guard, they quickly cast spells to block it. Taking this opportunity, she launched an attack.
Churi Huaizhu drew out the long sword from her waist and stabbed at the group recklessly. In an instant, the people fell one by one, and the ground was soaked in blood. Churi Huaizhu was still gasping for breath beside them, her eyes bloodshot. Mei Sanniang beside her was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.
Finally, Churi Huaizhu couldn't hold on anymore. She knelt on the ground on her knees, spat out a mouthful of blood, and slowly crawled towards Wangquan Baye. Mei Sanniang stepped forward to help her up and took the unconscious Wangquan Baye back to the Wangquan Manor.
[Assassinate Jin Renfeng now!]
Not long after returning to the Wangquan Manor, the mechanical reminder in her mind finally appeared again. Churi Huaizhu was slightly surprised. Why was the plot reminding her to assassinate Jin Renfeng at this time?
However... Churi Huaizhu smiled self - deprecatingly and pursed her lips. With her current physical condition, she would probably have no chance of winning even if she went.
Churi Huaizhu's lips were pale. She planned to recuperate in the Wangquan Manor for a few days and then look for another opportunity to assassinate Jin Renfeng.
Sitting on the wooden chair in the room, Churi Huaizhu felt physically and mentally exhausted. But she must avenge herself against Jin Renfeng. For Wangquan Baye's sake, she must get rid of him. Otherwise, there would surely be future troubles.
Churi Huaizhu closed her eyes. She remembered the scene of Wangquan Baye lying lifeless on the ground that day. She smiled bitterly as she looked at the unconscious Wangquan Baye on the bed. Fortunately, fortunately...
In the following days, Churi Huaizhu had been researching tonics. Even after Wangquan Baye woke up, she didn't have much time or energy to spend on him. Every day, she just stayed in the kitchen making medicinal meals and practicing kung fu crazily.
On this day, as usual, Churi Huaizhu got up early and was about to go to the kitchen to make tonics. Her body was still too weak. If she wanted to improve in a short time, she had to take more tonics.
"Huaizhu, what have you been doing these days? Has something happened?" Wangquan Baye hadn't gotten out of bed yet. Sitting on the bed in his fur robe, he looked at Churi Huaizhu sleepily as she was about to go out.
"Nothing. You can sleep a little longer. Just tell the servants if you need anything." Churi Huaizhu stood at the door looking at Wangquan Baye. She absolutely couldn't tell him about this.
He wouldn't let her go alone. Helpless and powerless in her heart, she went out and continued to go to the kitchen to stew tonics. By the way, she also boiled some soup to nourish Wangquan Baye's body.
Wangquan Baye stared deeply at the direction she left. In the end, he still didn't say anything. He lowered his eyelids to hide the emotions in his eyes and murmured, "What on earth... is it?"
"Ha!" Churi Huaizhu was practicing swordplay nimbly in the courtyard. After practicing for so many days, her swordsmanship had improved. In terms of the divine fire, Jin Renfeng was better than her. She could launch a surprise attack from other aspects.
