432: Chapter 292: Between the Abysses_2 432: Chapter 292: Between the Abysses_2 “Wang Cheng, when the earth dragon turns over, it will cause a disturbance in the Origin Qi, but that sort of disturbance is chaotic and without pattern…”
“….”
Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng’s brow furrowed, and he closed his eyes to sense for a mont.
When he opened his eyes, there was a look of confusion in them.
Origin Qi was indeed disturbed, but it was not without any pattern; rather, it showed a regular pattern of spreading upward.
Very faint, so faint that it would be impossible to detect without careful sensing, but this fluctuation definitely existed.
Old Li stared at the snowstorm below the city, his voice grave:
“There seems to be sothing underneath.”
As he spoke, his eyes excitedly turned to Wang Cheng:
“Wang Cheng, you stay here on guard, I will take a hundred White Armors to report this matter to the marquis.”
“Huh?
Why am I not going?”
“…..” Old Li.
…
…
…
Blood Magic Cave.
When the white light faded, the shock dissipated and everything returned to calm, the earth-shattering hiss of the ink snake was no longer heard behind them.
In the silence,
Bai Muxi also stopped in her tracks, glancing at the young master tightly holding onto her, and after a slight hesitation, she did not speak up to remind him.
Being held by Princess Mu Xi, Xu Yuan slightly adjusted his posture, grasping one of her fragrant shoulders with one hand, while the other hand wrapped around her delicate jade back from under her armpit, naturally resting his chin on Mu Xi’s soft shoulder.
Bai Muxi’s figure trembled slightly, but she did not resist and stood obediently still.
The warm, soft touch ca through the thin veil of the woman’s clothing, allowing Xu Yuan to feel the softness that was pressed against his chest and changing shape, as well as the fragrance emanating from her hair.
The reason he did not let go was not because he was enjoying it.
At a life-or-death juncture, who would think about such things?
In desperate circumstances, one must prioritize accordingly.
He was waiting for Li Qingyan’s signal.
His One Hundred Twelve Thousand Li of might was indeed shockingly powerful, but if it did not kill that monstrous ghost ink snake, they would still have to continue fleeing.
Going down would only increase the danger; it was better to keep hanging on.
“….”
Ti ticked away by seconds and minutes,
and suddenly light footsteps sounded in the darkness.
Soon, a figure in a red gown erged from the darkness.
Even after such a fierce battle, her red robe was still in perfect condition, without the slightest damage.
Well, it seems with the Black Death Bacterial Armor, it will be difficult to see the Princess in battle-damaged attire again.
Just as he was thinking this, Xu Yuan inadvertently t her gaze.
Her phoenix eyes, shimring with scarlet light, were half-closed.
Li Qingyan stared at the two still holding each other.
Her lotus boots moved evenly and smoothly, only the Scarlet Blade in her hand exuded an eerie cold gleam.
Her cool gaze seed to say nothing, yet at the sa ti, it seed to say everything.
“……”
With a mont of eye contact,
Mu Xi very sensibly bent down and released Xu Yuan:
“Young Master, it’s safe now.”
Under the gaze of Li Qingyan’s crimson eyes, Xu Yuan coughed lightly and straightened his clothes:
“I already said that ink snake couldn’t possibly survive; I told you to let go, but you insisted on protecting .”
“….”
Bai Muxi imdiately bowed in apology:
“The young master forgives , it was Mu Xi’s mistake.”
Xu Yuan casually waved his hand as if it were nothing:
“Considering you were also looking after the young master’s safety, this ti I will let it….”
“You two really have gotten quite good at playing the double act.”
As she spoke, Li Qingyan’s icy gaze suddenly thawed, a smile flickering in her phoenix eyes: “The palace didn’t say anything, so why the nervousness?”
“….”
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes internally.
He couldn’t fathom the princess’s thoughts.
She appeared to have a strong possessive streak, yet in so respects, she seed not to care much.
Gathering his thoughts, he stepped forward and in a soft voice asked:
“Nervous?
In such pressing tis, it should be you….”
Pausing, Xu Yuan scanned Li Qingyan up and down, then softly asked, “Are you hurt?”
Of course, he knew Li Qingyan was injured, and not lightly, but knowing was one thing; asking was another.
Won need to be cared for.
Li Qingyan’s phoenix eyes curved, the Scarlet Blade dancing in her hand, returning to its sheath with an elegant and powerful motion:
“The channels are a bit damaged, but it’s not too serious.
A few days of breathing exercises should restore to my original state.”
“Still, be careful.
Right now, you’re our only hope of getting out.”
Xu Yuan raised his hand affectionately to wipe the blood traces from her lips, and with a flip of his other hand, a jade bottle appeared in his palm:
“This is a Three-patterned Protective Dan.
It should help with your injuries.”
Li Qingyan’s eyes flashed with surprise, but without opening her hand, she looked at him with a smile on her lips:
“Why does it seem like your Suru Ring has everything?”
Xu Yuan smiled and blinked:
“The sect spent thirty million silver on that Cloud Qi Bomb.
There wasn’t enough silver, so most of it was exchanged with various resources.
Anything you can think of, I likely have most of it here.”
As he said that, Xu Yuan chuckled:
“Your Highness, sotis, silver really can buy one’s life.”
“Virtue.”
Li Qingyan chuckled, extending her hand in front of him: “Once we get out, the palace will repay you.”
“Family doesn’t talk about repaying.
But if you really insist on paying back, why not just repay with your body?”
With the ink snake cleared out, Xu Yuan was in a good mood, joking as he placed the jade bottle in her palm.
But at that mont, his gaze suddenly noticed the crimson bloodstains in her palm.
He frowned slightly, grabbed her wrist, and then smoothly rolled up her red sleeve.
Her fair arm ca into view, displaying several grueso wounds from which blood continuously flowed down her white forearm….
