So, among them all, Ye Sanshao was the most relaxed. He didn’t even need to lift a finger; simply moving his lips was enough.
"How did you manage that?" Shangguan You raised an eyebrow.
"It’s quite simple. Do you want to learn? If you do, I’ll teach you." Ye Sanshao’s eyes lit up as he took a few steps closer to Shangguan You. As he moved, the barrier in front of him slowly expanded.
Bai Muxue, standing beside Ye Sanshao, also noticed his strange behavior. He let out a sound of surprise, and his palm strike faltered for a mont, allowing a bat to break through, its long, sharp fangs biting down on his hand. With Bai Muxue’s side thrown into disarray, the creatures that Fang Jianfei had failed to intercept also sward forward, biting at him. Li Zhaolei was also bitten several tis. Although Zhuge Feng managed to hold his ground, the venomous bees nearby launched their attack as well. The group could defend themselves, but their backs were now exposed.
"Do I have ti to learn? This is all your fault!" Shangguan You rolled her eyes, blaming Ye Sanshao for the chaos. If he hadn’t showily revealed the barrier, Bai Muxue wouldn’t have been startled and made a mistake, and the subsequent events wouldn’t have unfolded.
Ye Sanshao touched his nose. He was truly innocent. He just didn’t want to waste ti with these inferior creatures. Moreover, he wanted to teach this barrier technique to the young lady; with it, dealing with such brainless things wouldn’t require any effort. If the old Beast Taming Master knew what he was thinking, he would probably die of anger.
Shangguan You quickly ford hand seals. A Fire Dragon swiftly appeared in mid-air. CRACKLE! SIZZLE! The sll of burning flesh filled the air, and in an instant, fire illuminated the surroundings, turning the nearby venomous bees to ash.
The dazzling red fire of the Fire Dragon drove back the Poison Peak creatures, Feiyi, Vultures, and bats. Those that were too slow were burned to a crisp and fell to the ground. This also gave the group a chance to catch their breath and rest.
"Are you alright?" In a flash, Shangguan You was by Bai Muxue’s side, examining the wound on his hand that was oozing black blood. With a wave of her hands, the Plum Blossom Divine Needles sealed the acupoints on his body.
"I’m okay." Bloodstains dotted Bai Muxue’s white robe, and his face was sowhat pale as he nodded faintly to Shangguan You.
"Take these." Shangguan You handed over a few dicinal Pills as she infused Spiritual Energy into her hands. With the movent of the Plum Blossom Divine Needles, the poisonous blood in the wound was forced out bit by bit.
Only when the blood from the wound turned red did Shangguan You sprinkle on the antiseptic dicine. As soon as the powder touched the wound, it healed at a visible rate, scabbing over slowly. This antiseptic dicine, refined with Inferno Fire, was more effective than her previous versions. Although the formula was the sa, the results were entirely different.
"Thank you," Bai Muxue said, looking at the slender, black-robed figure of Shangguan You and nodding his gratitude.
"Senior, please save too! I’ve also been bitten by venomous bees!" Li Zhaolei, seeing Shangguan You’s miraculous dical Arts, couldn’t help but beg her for help, his body aching terribly.
"Hmph, I never save scoundrels," Shangguan You snorted coldly and ignored him, instead walking over to Fang Jianfei. She used the Plum Blossom Divine Needles to extract the poison and gave him dicinal Pills to take.
Shangguan You didn’t dislike Bai Muxue or Fang Jianfei. Moreover, they had shown her kindness before, which was why she was saving them. But as for Li Zhaolei, he was the one Zhuge Feng had pushed out as a scapegoat; why should she save such a shaless person?
"Uncle Zhuge, please, save !" Li Zhaolei cried, seeing Shangguan You’s outright refusal, and turned to Zhuge Feng for salvation. He didn’t want to die, no matter what. If I had known my words earlier would provoke that man’s wrath, I would have kept my mouth shut!
"Young Master Li," Zhuge Feng began, "you know that our Zhuge Family is famous for our dical Arts and poisons. However, as the Family Head, I am not proficient in these areas. If Elder Shi and the other Elders were here, we would definitely save you."
Zhuge Feng glanced at Shangguan You. She was treating the injured, including himself, but pointedly ignoring Li Zhaolei. This old fellow has a peculiar temperant, from what I’ve heard, he thought. There’s no need for to offend Elder ihua for soone like Li Zhaolei.
"Uncle Zhuge, I beg you, I know I was wrong! I’ve been poisoned, and if it isn’t cured soon, I will die! I beg you, please ask Senior to save ! Uncle Zhuge, I plead with you!" Li Zhaolei implored Zhuge Feng desperately, all while watching Shangguan You’s miraculous dical Arts quickly heal Zhuge Feng’s wounds.
Shangguan You’s mouth twitched. Li Zhaolei is truly shaless. Such a grown man, begging so pathetically. If we weren’t in mid-air, he would surely have knelt down by now.
"Hmph, overestimating himself," Ye Sanshao snorted coldly. Shangguan You saving Bai Muxue and the others had already soured his expression. And now she’s going to save this idiot too? Just a mont ago, this fool dared to call the young lady’s disciple! I, Ye Sanshao, am one to hold grudges. Besides, I’m in a foul mood, and when I get angry, the consequences are severe.
"Lord ihua," Zhuge Feng said to Shangguan You lightly, "Young Master Li was indeed offensive just now. I beseech you to overlook his transgression and save him. The Li Family will surely express their profound gratitude." It’s a matter of face, he thought. Whether she saves him or not is up to her. In any case, I’ve already asked.
"Senior, I was blind and foolish to have offended you earlier! Please save ! The Li Family will definitely express profound gratitude!" Li Zhaolei pleaded.
"Profound gratitude?" Shangguan You raised an eyebrow, a smirk forming beneath her black hood.
"Yes! As long as Senior is willing to save , the Li Family will owe Senior one request! Whatever Senior asks, it shall be done!" Li Zhaolei hastily declared.
"Good." Shangguan You sounded sowhat excited. She fed him the dicinal Pills from her hand and inserted the shining Golden Needles all over Li Zhaolei’s body.
"AH!" Li Zhaolei scread in pain. When Shangguan You was helping the others, they all seed to be enjoying it, their complexions improving by the second! Why is it that when it’s my turn, I feel pain all over, and it’s getting worse?
"It’s done." Shangguan You waved her hands and retrieved the Golden Needles. The pain wracking Li Zhaolei’s body vanished instantly, and he slowly began to recover.
"What do we do now?" Zhuge Feng glanced at Shangguan You, his eyes full of bewildernt. He then shifted his gaze to their surroundings. The enormous Fire Dragon had them encircled, keeping the venomous bees out but also trapping them within. They couldn’t possibly stay here forever, could they?
