Chapter 242

In the Wuyou Palace of the Wilderness Holy Hall.

Holding a pile of wedding dresses, Ya’er walked inside with delight, “My Lady, which one of the wedding dresses do you prefer?” Ya’er hung all the wedding dresses.

Duanmu Xi looked at the wedding dresses and knitted her brows, “What wedding dresses? Where are they from?”

Ya’er was slightly dazed and then replied with respect, “The Region Master asked me to take these to you, saying that they were for you to wear on the wedding day.”

“Wedding?” Duanmu Xi frowned more deeply and faintly had a foreboding.

Ya’er said with a smile, “Yeah, you haven’t known this. The Region Master has decided to marry you in three days.” The other maids in the hall envied Ya’er very much, saying that she was so lucky that she could serve the future mistress as she came.

Duanmu Xi’s eyes flicked. It had been three days. He was really anxious. Was he gonna press her to marry him?

As Duanmu Xi lowered her head quietly, Ya’er said, “Which one do you prefer? I’ll ask the embroideress to adjust it as per your size.”

Duanmu Xi arched her brows and said grimly, “Throw them out.”

“What?” Ya’er was directly dumbfounded and seemed not to understand Duanmu Xi’s words.

Looking at Ya’er’s silly appearance, Duanmu Xi felt agitated and directly darted a cold glance at her, “Don’t make me say it for a second time.”

Her cold voice made Ya’er shiver. Ya’er didn’t dare to take her lightly and immediately said with a bow, “I’m on it now.” Then, Ya’er turned around, quickly put away the wedding dress and bowed herself out.

No sooner had Ya’er left than Bai He appeared in Duanmu Xi’s room and sat opposite Duanmu Xi with an angry face, “Shame on that man! You said you wouldn’t marry him, but he still prepares the wedding. He clearly wants to threaten you with Ms. Mei.”

Duanmu Xi still frowned and pondered for a while, “Tonight, I’ll go to the grotto on the back hill.” Now, she was pressed for time, whether she had the Purple Hell Stone, she must go to the grotto on the back hill for the eight elders.

“The grotto on the back hill?” Bai He knitted his brows in confusion.

As Bai He looked confused, Duanmu Xi told Bai He what Mei Luo had said to her last night.

Bai He nodded, “OK. We go to the grotto on the back hill tonight.” If he tried his best to save Ms. Mei, Xi could leave here as soon as possible and get away from that person.

As Bai He agreed so neatly, Duanmu Xi felt touched and looked at Bai He with a sincere face, “Thank you!” The grotto on the back hill was full of mechanisms. It should be dangerous to go there, but he still agreed without thinking. She was doomed to owe him this favor.

Hearing that, Bai He cracked a gentle smile, “You saved my life. No need to say that.” He went back to the land of elves and accepted the legacy merely to stay by her side and return the favor. He would be happy as long as he could help her.

Duanmu Xi smiled, “OK. Let’s go to the grotto on the back hill tonight.” Even though it was an extremely dangerous place, she must go inside and go to the eight elders, because her third master couldn’t wait. Xuanyuan Hao wouldn’t wait either.

At night, at Green Pine Inn, all the people gathered in Phoenix Thirteen’s room.

“Five, can Thirteen’s face recover?” Phoenix Fourteen elbowed Phoenix Five beside her.

Hearing that, Phoenix Five said casually, “I guess, but even if it can’t, it’s fine by me. We’re women. Why would I care about the appearance?”

When Long Yue and the others heard Phoenix Five’s words, the corners of their mouths all twitched.

On the contrary, Phoenix Fourteen heard that and nodded, “That’s true. It’ll be fine as long as her eyes are OK.”

Long Ri also nodded in agreement.

Situ Kong, who was untying the bandage, felt displeased to hear the talk between Phoenix Five and Phoenix Fourteen. He stopped and stared at them, “What? Are you doubting my medical skills?”

Phoenix Five was slightly dazed to hear that and then said with an ingratiating face, “Of course not. You must be the top in terms of medical skills!”

“Exactly. Given your medical skills, even if the patient is unrecognizable, you can treat him well, let alone such a small scar.” Phoenix Fourteen also went forward and browned nose.

The others heard their fawning words and both slightly curled their lips.

Situ Kong glanced at them with satisfaction and continued with his work.

As Situ Kong acted, fewer and fewer white cloth strips were left on Phoenix Thirteen’s face. They all stared at Phoenix Thirteen’s face in case of missing anything.

Very quickly, Phoenix Thirteen’s face was exposed to them bit by bit. The scorched face had recovered by now, which became more tender and glowing than before.

Phoenix Five looked at Phoenix Thirteen’s fair-skinned face and said with a smile, “As I said, Elder Situ’s medical skills are really awesome.”

“Good. Your face looks so tender that I even want to ruin my face and reshape it.” Phoenix Fourteen looks at Phoenix Thirteen’s face with envy.

Situ Kong took a step back in fear, “Don’t. I can’t afford to make the effort.” Most importantly, he didn’t want to waste the herbs. As a refining pharmacist, the last thing he wanted was to waste the herbs.

All the people burst out laughing.

Long Ri didn’t pay too much attention to Phoenix Thirteen’s face but stared at the white cloth on Phoenix Thirteen’s eyes, “Elder Situ, are her eyes recovered?”

Hearing that, Situ Kong stroked her beard and said, “Her eyes should be fine, but I can’t be sure of whether they are recovered until I take a look.” Then, Situ Kong started to untie the white cloth on Phoenix Thirteen.

“Thir…teen, don’t… don’t be nervous. You’ll be fine.” Long Ri grabbed Phoenix Thirteen’s hand and stared at Situ Kong removing the cloth strip.

“I’m not nervous.” Feeling that Long Ri was nervous, Phoenix Thirteen clenched Long Ri’s hand.

Phoenix Fourteen heard that and then said, “Exactly. I think you’re the one who feels most nervous. Thirteen becomes nervous because you’re nervous.” Long Ri was even faltering. Clearly, he was nervous.

Hearing that, Long Ri instantly blushed. Ridiculed by Phoenix Fourteen, Long Ri felt a lot less nervous.

Very quickly, Situ Kong removed the white cloth from Phoenix Thirteen’s eyes.

“Try to open your eyes and see if you can see the light.”

Phoenix Thirteen slowly opened her eyes. The sudden light made Phoenix Thirteen feel stingy pain in her eyes, “The light hurts my eyes.”

Long Ri looked at Situ Kong with a nervous expression.

Situ Kong nodded and said, “This is normal. You were in the darkness and your eyes also didn’t work for a long time. As your eyes reached the light suddenly, of course your eyes would feel hurt. Now that you can see the light, it indicates that your eyes are fine.”

Long Ri felt delighted and said, “Terrific. Your eyes are recovered. No rush. Take it easy. Try to adapt yourself to the light first before opening your eyes again.”

Phoenix Thirteen slowly opened her eyes again. The first thing that came to her vision was Long Ri, who looked excited. Now that she saw Long Ri again, Phoenix Thirteen had complicated feelings. When she was blind, she could find an excuse to accept his care. Now that she had recovered, she had no reason to accept his kindness!

“Can you see me? Can you?” Long Ri looked at Phoenix Thirteen with an excited expression.

Phoenix Thirteen nodded, “Yeah, I’m fine. I can see you now.”

Phoenix Five and Phoenix Fourteen also went to Phoenix Thirteen.

“Great. Your vision is recovered,” Phoenix Five thumped Phoenix Thirteen’s shoulder and said.

“Exactly. I’m afraid that you may turn blind,” Phoenix Fourteen also patted Phoenix Thirteen’s shoulder and said with a smile.

Phoenix Thirteen looked at Phoenix Five and Fourteen and subconsciously slightly curled her lips. It was so nice to see them again!

Long Yue aside suddenly looked at Situ Kong and said, “Since Thirteen’s eyes are recovered, should we go to find Her Highness?”

Phoenix Five hastened to nod, “Of course. I miss Her Highness so much. I haven’t seen her for a few days. It seems that I just can’t compose myself no matter what I do.” She wondered how Her Highness was doing, whether Her Highness was bullied by them, and how Her Highness’s babies were doing. She couldn’t wait to find Her Highness.

With his eyes slightly flickering, Situ Kong said with a frown, “Xi has offered us the solution to break the formation on the Wilderness Holy Hall. There should be no problem for us to enter the Wilderness Holy Hall now, but according to Xi’s letter, she doesn’t allow us to enter the Wilderness Holy Hall recklessly. If we really alert the enemy, I’m afraid that Xi will be in danger.”

The others all lowered their heads. For them, nothing was more important than Her Highness’s safety. Her Highness’s safety was the priority.

While the others were pondering with a frown, Phoenix Thirteen suddenly said, “Here’s the thing. In order not to alert the enemy, we’d better not go. Send two or three people there. Protect Her Highness in secret after going there. The others just stay here for updates temporarily.”

The others’ eyes all sparkled.

Phoenix Fourteen nodded and said, “Good idea. If only a few of us go there, those people may not find us and alert the enemy.”

Long Yue also touched his chin, “Exactly. Her Highness won’t be in danger as long as we aren’t found by those people.”

Situ Kong stroked his beard and said, “Since everyone agrees on this, let’s send two people there. If anything untoward happens to Xi, whoever goes there must send a message to inform others. I’ll go. Who will go with me?”

“Me.”

“Me.”

“Me…” All of them wanted to go.

Situ Kong looked at the others and frowned, “You can’t all go. Only one of you can go with me. Pick one.”

“I’ll go.” Yu Ying was the first one to step forward. Her Highness was lost under his nose. If he didn’t do anything, he couldn’t face His Highness anymore.

Long Ri also stood up and said, “I’ll go. I’m the most competent one here.”

Phoenix Five stared at them and said, “I don’t care. Anyway, I’m going.”

…

“None of you will go!” When all the people were striving to rescue Duanmu Xi, a piercingly cold voice shocked everyone as if the snowstorm blew into their hearts.
