Chapter 6: 第2章 血玉奇缘

Chapter 2: The Fated Encounter of Blood Jade

It was only then that Jun Lanfeng realized. What he had just seen was indeed a person—a filthy woman. However, what she was did not matter. Right now, even if the sky were falling, he had to return to the capital before the city gates closed.

"Borrow your body to neutralize this poison! Afterward, any reward is negotiable."

Seeing that the man had already ridden off, Jing Yue'er didn't know how it happened, but she actually stood up and followed him like a sycophant. She understood perfectly well that once struck by aphrodisiac, there was absolutely no second option other than having relations with a man to neutralize it!

With a neigh from the fine steed, the horse was instantly turned around. Jun Lanfeng's green robes fluttered wildly in the wind, and a layer of frost instantly settled upon his exquisite face. Had he not coldly spat out those four words, "Shameless!", Jing Yue'er wouldn't have known they were in a feudal ancient era.

*Cough, cough...*

"Qing Feng! This Prince will not allow such a woman to exist."

Whether it was due to the aphrodisiac or something else, Jing Yue'er felt that even his insulting voice was incredibly beautiful, like the crisp sound of melting frost dripping.

Wait! *Will not allow such a woman to exist?* He's disgusted by her?

Damn! Jing Yue'er snapped back to her senses a bit. Was this man trying to eliminate a public menace? To reform social morals?

Qing Feng drew his sword, his cold expression causing Jing Yue'er to take two steps back. Before Qing Feng's precious blade could strike, Jing Yue'er's body fell backward without warning.

Of course, it wasn't that Jing Yue'er was afraid; it was simply that the damn aphrodisiac felt like ten thousand insects gnawing at her heart. Even if her body were made of iron, she couldn't withstand such torment. She fell into a deep coma!

"Master, she seems to be poisoned!" Qing Feng turned around helplessly, feeling a flicker of sympathy.

Jun Lanfeng's phoenix eyes flickered, and he finally began to observe Jing Yue'er seriously. Her cheeks were flushed, and her disheveled clothing revealed a segment of a shoulder as beautiful as fine jade. Even though he never held women in regard, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Recalling that woman's actions just now, beyond the haze of passion and desire, there seemed to be a trace of tenacity!

That kind of glimmer of light was something Jun Lanfeng seemed to be seeing for the first time.

Damn it! What was he thinking?

"Master, should we really kill her?"

Having followed Jun Lanfeng for many years, Qing Feng had seen countless souls fall under his blade. But when it came to killing such a frail woman, it was rare.

Jun Lanfeng hesitated for a moment, then shifted his gaze away from Jing Yue'er. "Qing Feng, go notify the Gate General first. Ensure the city gates do not close until this Prince has entered the city."

"Master..." Qing Feng glanced at Jun Lanfeng, then at Jing Yue'er, as if suddenly understanding something. "Yes!"

He had originally not understood why his Master needed to rush back to the capital today, and now, he understood even less why he would stop for a woman.

"It's just, Master, this woman's appearance was too strange. Your subordinate fears..."

As Qing Feng departed, he couldn't help but voice his doubts.

But it was this very sentence that caused the last shred of goodwill Jun Lanfeng held to vanish instantly. He tightened his grip on his whip. "Let her fend for herself!"

Jing Yue'er gradually regained a sliver of consciousness. Enduring the pain of ten thousand insects gnawing at her heart, she couldn't help but roar inwardly. *Damn it! Don't let me leave here alive today, or I won't let you off the hook!*

Just as Jun Lanfeng was preparing to leave, several hidden weapons shot through the air with powerful force. They were decisive and ruthless, every strike intended to kill.

"Master, watch out!"

Eight hidden weapons came rushing in like a mountain collapsing into the sea. Out of habit, Qing Feng blocked himself in front of Jun Lanfeng. "Master, run!"

In an instant, hidden weapons were continuously fired from throughout the mountains. With a wave of his large sleeves, Jun Lanfeng released a powerful internal force that intimidated all directions, causing countless hidden weapons to bounce back. Instantly, the wails of the enemies hiding in the depths could be heard, and the green leaves were stained crimson.

His martial arts were formidable; those struck by the reflected weapons did not die, but instead found themselves in a state where they could neither live nor die!

"Come out! This Prince will grant you a swift death. Otherwise..."

The surrounding shadows of the trees swayed, and a powerful cold wind blew past. The surroundings, which weren't hot to begin with, instantly dropped several degrees! This man was like an Asura from hell; wherever he passed, corpses littered the ground, and wherever he went, the very landscape changed color.

Jing Yue'er shuddered. She grabbed a stone from the ground and slammed it hard against the back of her hand to maintain a moment of clarity. Then, she struggled to crawl up once more. Relying on a sliver of her intuition as a top agent, she attempted a feeble self-defense. Of course, regarding this cycle of dying from pain, coming back to life, and then falling unconscious again, Jing Yue'er really wanted to end it quickly.
