Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Chapter 46 Action Proficiency

After saying that, he leaped up into the tree, and a red thread shot out from his hand, firmly wrapping around the tree where the two black-finned snakes were. He grabbed Mu Xue and, with her in tow, darted over. Mu Xue skillfully grabbed at the black-finned snakes, and the two worked together perfectly, as if they had practiced countless times.

The speed and movements were incredibly skillful; one snake in each hand, firmly gripping the blackfin snake's vital spot.

With their weakness exploited, the two black-finned snakes immediately became listless and allowed Mu Xue to put them into the bamboo tube that had been prepared beforehand.

This action happened in the blink of an eye, and the two returned to their original positions. Mu Xue and Cang Lin did not linger.

Mu Xue turned around, threw out three pills, and grabbed Cang Lin as they ran.

Cang Lin was pulled a long way before he remembered to use his luck to fly up the tree with Mu Xue and jump over the trees one by one.

Finally, before nightfall, the two returned to their temporary camp.

"What did you throw out last?" Cang Lin asked impatiently as soon as he landed.

"Huh?" Mu Xue didn't react for a moment.

"It's those last few pills you threw out." At first, Cang Lin thought she had thrown out some powerful stuff, but since it happened so silently, he was really curious.

"That's the residue left over from my alchemy. I added something and made it," Mu Xue said.

"Then why did you run away after throwing it away??" Cang Lin asked, his face full of questions.

Mu Xue looked at him like he was an idiot and retorted, "Are you going to wait to be poisoned if you don't run?"

"What do you mean? Are you trying to insult me?" Cang Lin shouted relentlessly.

"No, how could that be?" Mu Xue said with a grin.

The two chatted and joked around until they reached the camp.

It had already darkened, and the surroundings were pitch black, with only two bonfires flickering in the light.

Yoruichi and Reizen stood on either side of the fire, while Mugo was cleaning their dinner not far away.

Mu Xue glanced at Ye Shangyuan's location again; he was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed, making no sound.

Mu Xue first checked on Ye Yi and Leng Quan, then he called out, "A-Hu, come here. Leng Quan will wake up soon. Could you help boil some water?"

Upon hearing Mu Xue's voice, Mu Hu replied, "Yes, Your subordinate will go right away." He shook the water off his hands, picked up the pheasant and the rabbit, and headed towards the campfire.

He had just stopped standing when Mu Xue spoke again, "Has the Prince not woken up yet?"

She always felt something was wrong.

"In the afternoon, the prince helped gather firewood, and he was the one who hunted this rabbit," Mu Hu said, pointing to the already prepared wild rabbit.

"Is there anything unusual?" she asked, still feeling uneasy.

"As it was getting dark, the prince asked us what we were going to do. I just said I was looking for medicine, and he didn't ask any more questions. However, he asked me to help him make a fire." Mu Hu said, pointing to the fire next to Ye Shangyuan.

Mu Xue couldn't help but look over again. This time, she saw the glow of his pale chin in the firelight, and a faint blackish-red tinge at the corner of his mouth, not very noticeable in the night.

Because he was wearing a mask, she didn't notice anything unusual about him when she returned.

He hasn't woken up after so long, which is very unusual for someone who has been on the march and fighting for many years.

Soldiers are always on high alert, even when they are sleeping. It is something ingrained in their bones and has become a habit. The wilderness is dangerous everywhere, so it is impossible to sleep soundly. How could they not wake up for so long?

Mu Xue's heart skipped a beat. Oh no!

Mu Hu realized what Mu Xue was asking.

The two of them ran to Ye Shangyuan's side, but he did not react at all.

Upon approaching Mu Xue, it became clear that he had already fainted. However, even in his unconscious state, he was still tightly clenching his hands, indicating that he was still in excruciating pain.

What a man who suffers for the sake of saving face!

Mu Xue no longer hesitated; she squatted down to check on his condition.

"Ah Hu, bring some clean water." She didn't touch Ye Shangyuan's mask, but simply used a handkerchief dipped in clean water to wipe the cold sweat from his chin and neck.

She couldn't find the herb for the phoenix-tailed scorpion that Ye Shangyuan had described to him, but he had a blackfin snake. She never expected that she would have to give up the snake gall she had just obtained before she could even warm it up.

The inability to cause injury is a problem for people in this time and space, but for Mu Xue, as long as she finds those main medicines, she can find a solution.

Coincidentally, she had three of the ingredients on hand, and these three medicines were also the main antidotes for the deadly poisonous flowers in her body.

She no longer hesitated. The poison in her body had been suppressed, but Ye Shangyuan's poison was about to erupt. At that time, even a god would be unable to save her.

Without hesitation, she decisively took out a blackfin serpent, cut open its abdomen, and extracted its gall bladder.

Cang Lin helped Mu Xue add firewood to the fire.

The snake blood wasn't wasted either; it was all collected in bamboo tubes.

Due to unfavorable circumstances, she did not refine any elixirs. Instead, she used a unique method from ancient medicine to process snake gall, snake blood, the leaves of the fire dragon grass, and the wild lingzhi mushroom she had recently discovered on a tree.

The blood and venom sacs of the blackfin serpent are highly toxic, but its skin and flesh are not poisonous, and its gallbladder is considered a holy antidote.

Mu Xuema worked tirelessly for a while before finally managing to force Ye Shangyuan to drink the dark bowl of medicine.

Leng Quan had already woken up while Mu Xue was brewing the medicine, and he was also excited to see Ye Shangyuan.

Seeing that he was about to get up, Mu Hu quickly stopped him. He told Leng Quan about the current situation, and Leng Quan knew that he couldn't help but stay and take care of Ye Yi.

He stared wide-eyed as Mu Xue grabbed Ye Shangyuan's chin and forced him to drink every last drop of the medicine.

He swallowed hard, wanting to tell Mu Xue to go easy on him, but he swallowed the words back.

Those close to Ye Shangyuan know that he is most afraid of drinking herbal medicine.

After Ye Shangyuan drank the medicine, he slowly began to react. First, his whole body turned red, and then he started sweating profusely.

Mu Xue, who was observing closely, immediately called out to Mu Hu, "Quick, bring some clean water."

Mu Xue and Mu Hu kept wiping the sweat from Ye Shangyuan's skin. If you looked closely, you could see that the sweat was slightly black.

Cang Lin was also busy, changing the water again and again. He was so busy that it was almost dawn. Mu Xue's already thin and pale face looked almost translucent now.

Leng Quan watched the three of them bustling around, while he could only sit there anxiously.

Seeing that Mu Xue and the other two had finally stopped what they were doing, he asked in a low voice, "Miss Mu, how is my master?"

Mu Xue shook her head slightly. She was so tired that she could barely lift her hands. She said weakly, "It's been suppressed and won't flare up for three months. We still need to find medicine to completely detoxify."

After a night of intense tension, Mu Hu was finally able to rest. He slumped onto a rock, panting heavily.

Exhausted, Cang Lin leaned against a tree and said sarcastically, "You three are really lucky. If it weren't for my little Xuexue running into you, you wouldn't even know where your bones are now, carried away by wild beasts."

Reizen: What you said is true, but you don't have to be so direct.
