C153 (2/2)
On Dongfang Chen's side, the night had fallen and it was still as black as before.
Carrying the heavy woman on his back, Dongfang Chen walked step by step towards the brightly lit city.
Under the weak light of the lanterns, the three words ”Xiangfan City” seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Unexpectedly, there was a sense of depression attacking them.
”Save …” ”Life!”
Dongfang Chen waved to the soldiers on the city walls and sat down on the ground, breathing in deeply.
In the past few days, he had been chased around by the people from the Southern Barbarian, so he had no choice but to abandon his horse.
He had originally wanted to abandon this girl who did not look human, but she had poisoned him instead. He had to send her to Xiangfan City, so he had agreed to give him the antidote.
Right now, he was getting further and further away from the territory of Southern Frontier, so if Jun Mohan suddenly returned to the Eastern Region, the consequences would be unimaginable.
With his last bit of strength, he beckoned to the soldiers on top of the city gate tower, then fainted and remained motionless on the ground.
After he fainted, the woman who was lying on the side suddenly sat up. Her dirty hands pushed aside the messy hair that was like a chicken's nest, revealing a face that was as black as a coal ball. It looked extremely disgusting.
She raised her head, a look of amusement flashed past her eyes as she pulled Dongfang Chen onto her shoulders and dragged him step by step into the city.
The next day, a blinding light shone through the shadows of the trees and into the room, scattering across the sleeping figure's face.
Dongfang Chen didn't know how long he had slept, he only knew that when he fainted, he was already at the gate of Xiangfan City.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he was blinded by the sunlight. Angele rubbed his eyes for a while before getting used to the sunlight.
Then, he thought about that crazy woman who poisoned him and he suddenly jumped up. He didn't know she was like this!
However, just as he sat up, he realized that he was in an unfamiliar environment. Judging from the decoration here, it must be the boudoir of a woman who had yet to leave the pavilion.
In the next moment, he felt that something was wrong. It was as if his legs were pressed down by a rock, making him unable to move. He also felt a little numb.
He looked at his leg, and saw that there was a pair of woman's feet on his leg.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Dongfang Chen looked towards her legs while she slept beside him.
The woman had a calm expression, and her oval face was as if the Seven Fairies had descended from the heavens. Revealing his face in his sleep, he smiled lightly. Her hair style was simple, with a single strand at her waist. The long pearl lilies added to her delicate beauty, giving her the appearance of a swallow flying in the wind. Her dress was embroidered with bright red crabapple blossoms.
Dongfang Chen focused and carefully removed the woman's foot from his leg. Then, he slowly climbed back up, intending to escape this place without teasing her.
”Husband, where do you want to go?”
He had just reached the edge of the bed when he heard the delicate voice of a woman behind him.
His heart tensed up as his center of gravity became unstable and he fell to the ground in a hurry.
”Miss, please don't speak or speak. It's all my fault. Please be magnanimous and let me go. My friend is still waiting for me to rescue him.”
Dongfang Chen crawled up from the ground in panic, randomly putting on his clothes, then lowered his head and spoke anxiously.
After a long time, he was unable to hear the female's voice. When he raised his head, he met her beautiful and deep eyes. The pair of eyes were like the stars, it gave people a heart-wrenching feeling.
Time seemed to come to a standstill. Their eyes met, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of each other's heart beating faster.
The next moment, the girl's face grew infinitely larger in front of him, and in an instant, her warm and soft lips covered him. In just an instant, her lips had left him.
”My name is Ye Luoli, may I ask what is the name of the hero?”
In the next second, the girl stood in front of him with a smile and stared straight at him.
Her innocent and brilliant face brimmed with a smile, just like the spring sun, making one's heart bloom and feel relaxed and comfortable.
”Have you seen my friend? She's different, like a beggar? ”
Under Ye Luoli's burning gaze, Dongfang Chen spat out a few words leisurely, and almost forced a mouthful of blood out of Ye Luoli's mouth.
”Who is she to you? ”Do you care so much about her?”
Ye Luoli took another step forward, and asked coldly.
At this moment, the two of them were very quiet, this kind of silence was very scary.
”She's my friend, and I promised to take her home, so I can't go back on my word. If the girl knows, please tell me, Ben... I can't thank you enough. ”
Dongfang Chen's eyes were filled with anxiety. His hands tightly gripped onto Ye Luoli's shoulders with a nervous expression.
The dead woman had told him that the poison must be removed by noon, or there would be no cure.
Right now, the sun was high in the sky, and it was less than four hours from noon. This was the only time he could use, and he had to wait until she did.
