Chapter 210

Yu Ying took off his coat and placed it on the clean ground. Then, he carried Phoenix Fourteen forward gently.

Staring at her pale face, Yu Ying felt a gut-wrenching heartache and bent down to kiss her on the forehead, muttering, “I’m sorry.”

His tear dropped to Phoenix Fourteen’s hair and then disappeared.

“Start.” Yu Ying turned to look at Phoenix Thirteen and nodded.

Holding the saber in her hand, Phoenix Thirteen stared at Phoenix Fourteen lying on the ground. Her eyes were full of sorrow. Phoenix Fourteen who was lively today was lying here like a dull doll.

Situ Kong looked at Duanmu Xi next to him and said gently, “Xi, how about going there to have a rest?”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi shook her head. She knew that Chief Master was afraid that she couldn’t stand it but now, she didn’t want to avoid this. She wanted to be there for Phoenix Fourteen.

Situ Kong saw Duanmu Xi shake her head but he still said nothing. He could understand her feelings.

Phoenix Thirteen raised her saber and recalled the scene of her and Phoenix Fourteen practicing martial arts together again and again.

She and Fourteen were around the same age and closest to each other. They practiced martial arts, executed tasks and risked their lives together.

Tears just trickled down uncontrollably. Her hand that held the saber was still put down.

“I’m sorry. I can’t do it,” Phoenix Thirteen slumped to the ground in dejection and said in a sobbing voice. She couldn’t do it. She really couldn’t.

Phoenix Five’s eyes also became red. She didn’t go forward because she knew that she wouldn’t do it if she were Thirteen.

The others also looked away. None of them went forward.

“I’ll do it.” His voice was husky and rather determined.

Everyone was astonished to look at Yu Ying. Currently, all the people admired him simultaneously.

Yu Ying went forward and took the saber from Phoenix Thirteen. He stared at Phoenix Fourteen lying there unconscious, his black eyes filled with mixed feelings of pity, guilty conscience, self-condemnation, fright, and deep affection.

Currently, Phoenix Fourteen was no longer in that endless abyss but in a muddy pond. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t break free from the pond. She gradually lost her strength and could only see herself sink into the pond.

Yu Ying closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes, there was nothing but determination in his eyes.

He raised his saber and slashed it at Phoenix Fourteen’s left arm.

“Hold on.” While everyone was staring at Yu Ying’s action with concentration, a voice came.

When the voice came, a stone went at the saber in Yu Ying’s hand.

The saber dropped with a clang. Yu Ying looked at the saber on the ground in a daze. His mind was totally blank. He had plucked up his courage to amputate her arm just now. Now, he didn’t have any courage to pick up the saber anymore.

All the people were all dumbstruck. They goggled at the woman who suddenly appeared.

Dressed in purple, the woman was gorgeous with enchanting silver eyes. She looked elegant and charming just like the thousand-year-old Water Lily blooming in the dark.

Duanmu Xi looked at the woman who showed up all of a sudden. Her eyebrows were gently knitted, “Zimei?”

Zimei heard Duanmu Xi’s voice and immediately prostrated herself on one knee, saying respectfully, “Mistress.”

Everyone was stupefied to hear the familiar voice. This beautiful woman turned out to be Zimei, the purple Unicorn in human form. On second thought, the woman’s silver eyes were really the same as Zimei’s! “Why did you stop Yu Ying?” Duanmu Xi directly struck out a rush of mysterious Qi to help Zimei up.

All the others also looked at Zimei in confusion. Even Yu Ying who was in a trance also raised his head, his dark eyes faintly full of expectation and imploring.

Zimei glimpsed Phoenix Fourteen lying on the ground and said indifferently, “I know someone can save her.”

Duanmu Xi’s eyes sparkled. She said with excitement, “Who?”

Not only Duanmu Xi but also all the others present were staring at Zimei with expectations and excitement. Particularly, Yu Ying clenched his fists. He was expectant, excited, nervous and frightened.

Zimei ignored all the people’s expectant eyes and said to Duanmu Xi respectfully, “Lyuzhu.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi subconsciously frowned again. Wasn’t Lyuzhu a wood mythical creature? Duanmu Xi knew about Lyuzhu’s poison but she didn’t know Lyuzhu could dispel poison.

Zimei seemed to have seen through Duanmu Xi’s confusion and explained, “As is known to all, the Tianlu Beast is the ancestor of all poisons. Nothing can be more poisonous than the Tianlu Beast.”

Hearing Zimei’s words, Duanmu Xi thought of Hua Xian’er’s Mammoth Elephant. It was poisoned to death by Lyuzhu that had just been born.

“But you don’t know this. Not only is the Tianlu Beast the most poisonous but also her blood is the top treasure in the world.”

“You mean Lyuzhu’s blood can save Fourteen.” Hearing Zimei’s words, Duanmu Xi had guessed something.

Hearing that, Zimei nodded and said, “Yes, the Tianlu Beast’s blood can dispel all poisons.”

Everyone was ecstatic to hear that. Yu Ying sobbed with joy and clutched Phoenix Fourteen into his arms. He stroked her pale face and slightly curled his lips, “Did you hear that? You don’t have to be amputated.”

He was so happy that her hand didn’t have to be amputated. Although he didn’t care, he knew that she must care about it. All the martial artists cared about their hands. Besides, she was left-handed.

“Lyuzhu.” After knowing Lyuzhu’s blood could save Fourteen’s life, Duanmu Xi summoned Lyuzhu at once.

In the crystal ball, Lyuzhu couldn’t help pouting her mouth upon hearing Duanmu Xi’s summon.

Seeing Lyuzhu slightly pouted her mouth, Baiyu hesitated and bent down to carry Lyuzhu from the ground, “I’ll go with you.”

Hearing that, Lyuzhu was no longer disgruntled. She put her arm around Baiyu’s neck and kissed him on the cheek, “I like you best.”

Baiyu curled his lips subtly, his light blue eyes filled with affection.

Seeing that the two of them disappeared, Hongling finally came to her senses and elbowed Qingfeng aside, “Feng, did my eyes deceive me? Bai has just smiled.”

Qingfeng immediately said with jealousy, “He can never smile. You must be mistaken.”

Hongling blinked in confusion. Was she mistaken? He smiled just now though it was not obvious.

A gust of wind whistled by. Everyone couldn’t help rubbing their arms. What happened? Why was it so colder?

“Mistress.”

“Mistress.”

Two different voices came. One was cold and the other was childish.

They looked in the direction where the voice came only to find a handsome man in white with silver hair. The man was glistening with a white halo as if he came from a cold place. There was nothing in his light blue eyes but coldness. Everyone just couldn’t help shivering by staring at him.

Weirdly, this handsome man was holding a little girl in his arms.

This little girl was adorable with fair skin. Most attractively, her aqua eyes were watery as if she were interested in everything. She was so cute.

Duanmu Xi blinked and looked at the cold man and the cute little girl. For the moment, she felt a bit confused, “Are you Baiyu and Lyuzhu?”

“Yes.” Baiyu put Lyuzhu on the ground and prostrated himself on one knee, “Greetings, Mistress.”

Upon reaching the ground, Lyuzhu ran to Duanmu Xi and wanted a hug.

Duanmu Xi looked at Lyuzhu and her heart softened. She bent down to carry Lyuzhu in her arms.

Lyuzhu put her arms around Duanmu Xi’s neck and rubbed her face against the latter with delight. Her mistress was the one she liked most apart from Bai.

Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips. This was Lyuzhu. She looked at Baiyu and cracked a gentle smile, “Rise.”

“Thank you, Mistress.” Baiyu got up and stood behind Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi carried Lyuzhu in her arms and stayed quiet for a while, saying, “Lyuzhu, you should know why I summon you.”

Hearing that, Lyuzhu nodded and pouted her lips. The contracted beasts’ and their mistress’ minds were in sync. Of course she knew why her mistress summoned her.

Seeing Lyuzhu’s pouted lips, Duanmu Xi felt somewhat sorry but upon thinking of Fourteen who was lying there on the verge of death, she had to say, “Lyuzhu, I promise only a little blood will be enough.”

Lyuzhu looked at Duanmu Xi’s imploring eyes and instantly became soft-hearted, “I like you. So, for your sake, I’ll save her.”

Then, she got off Duanmu Xi and ran to Phoenix Fourteen. She glimpsed Phoenix Fourteen’s condition and Yu Ying who was holding Phoenix Fourteen in his arms.

Lyuzhu reached out her right hand. Instantly, her short fingernail became sharp and long. She slit her left index finger, which bled at once. A strange aroma was given off.

Lyuzhu directly put her bleeding finger to Phoenix Fourteen’s mouth.

Yu Ying immediately pinched Phoenix Fourteen’s jaw to make her mouth open.

Phoenix Fourteen drank Lyuzhu’s blood and instantly, her ghastly pale face gradually blushed. Her body also started to recover the temperature.

Feeling that Phoenix Fourteen was getting better, Yu Ying was ecstatic. He looked at the adorable girl, his dark eyes full of gratitude.

“Thank you.” His husky voice was sobbing. His words made Lyuzhu take a few more glances at him.

They were all relieved to see that Phoenix Fourteen had gotten better.

Lyuzhu didn’t withdraw her fingers until the poison in Phoenix Fourteen’s body was all dispelled.

Staring at Lyuzhu’s bleeding finger, Duanmu Xi, Baiyu and Zimei all felt sorry for Lyuzhu.

Duanmu Xi squatted down, pulled Lyuzhu’s finger over gently and blew air to it, “Does it hurt? I’ll apply medicine to it for you.”

Then, Duanmu Xi took out a bottle from her arms.

When Lyuzhu found the pity in Duanmu Xi’s eyes, the little pain was immediately gone, “No, it doesn’t. I don’t want to apply the medicine to my wound. Sucking the finger will be enough.”

Then, Lyuzhu showed her finger to Yu Ying, “You do it.”
