Ye Huangyu realized that she could not escape fate this time.

She heard Nie Fengxing's roar, a foul stench wafted in, and she felt her body being sucked in by a great force, then, she lost consciousness.

In the moment before losing consciousness, she heard the insane cries of Nie Fengxing.

"Spit out Ye Huang. Eat me instead, if you dare, swallow me whole too!"

Hoping that Nie Fengxing and the other brothers were alright, Ye Huangyu smiled bitterly.

This time, it was her recklessness, had she not been greedy for military exploits and eager to quickly make meritorious deeds to be granted the title of General, she wouldn't have rashly entered the village without sufficient information.

It's also her good fortune that she didn't die after being swallowed by the snake?

Ye Huangyu was curious as to why she could still breathe inside the snake's belly.

She groped around and touched some fragments.

Ye Huangyu did not recognize these fragments, but had Ye Lingyue been there, she would have recognized that these were fragments of a Spiritual Artifact known as Wind Pearls.

These Wind Pearls can generate flowing air in enclosed spaces and are often carried by Alchemists as a tool to help fuel the Cauldron during Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

It turned out that the Double-headed Python had just swallowed an Alchemist before it swallowed Ye Huangyu.

The unfortunate Alchemist had died, but the broken Wind Pearls he carried, by a twist of fate, ended up saving Ye Huangyu's life.

Not far from Ye Huangyu, there was a water buffalo that had not been fully digested, swallowed by the Double-headed Python before her.

Already full, the Double-headed Python couldn't digest Ye Huangyu straight away.

Even so, Ye Huangyu could still feel that the surrounding fluid was highly corrosive stomach acid, and her wounds were getting more painful.

If she couldn't get out, even with the Wind Pearls, she'd survive at most three or four days.

Sitting in darkness, surrounded by Beast Bones and human bones swallowed by the Double-headed Python, Ye Huangyu felt her will crumbling bit by bit.

This feeling of waiting for death was unbearable.

"Ye Huang... Ye Huang."

Ye Huangyu, gradually losing clarity of consciousness, suddenly heard a faint voice.

She thought it was a hallucination, but then something started slowly crawling towards her, and to her surprise, she woke up.

"General... Nie Fengxing, is that you?"

Ye Huangyu did not notice that her voice was choking up, like finding the solitary strand of light in darkness, Ye Huangyu followed the voice, her body leaning forward with all her might.

A hand gripped hers forcefully, and a hand calloused with handwork, pulled Ye Huangyu over.

It really was Nie Fengxing!

Why would Nie Fengxing be here?

Ye Huangyu did not know that the past day and night were painfully unbearable for her, yet for Nie Fengxing, it was no less so.

Seeing Ye Huang swallowed by the giant Double-headed Python, Nie Fengxing felt an unnamed fire burning in his heart, consuming all his reason.

The only thought in his heart was to save Ye Huang.

But it was all too late, he could only watch helplessly as Ye Huang was swallowed.

He fought with all his might to kill the Double-headed Python, even if his clothes were stained with blood, even if his Primordial Power was depleted, and he could barely grip the weapon in his hand.

As he faced the gaping maw of the Double-headed Python, Nie Fengxing had a thought.

Even in death, he wanted to be with Ye Huang.

He knew Ye Huang must be very scared being alone inside the serpent's belly.

He really deserved to die, he should have protected him, and should never have let him come to hunt a Ninth-grade Peak Spiritual Beast.

Regret swept over him like a flood without an end.

After being swallowed by the python and entering its belly, Nie Fengxing came to soon after.

Due to the fierce battle before, his body was covered in wounds, but with the last thread of consciousness, he used his hands and feet to climb through the insides of the Double-headed Python.

The stomach acid corroded his hands, feet, and knees, making Nie Fengxing feel like he could die at any moment. But in the end, determined to find Ye Huang even if it killed him, he made it through.

Until he heard an exceptionally familiar breathing sound.

"Nie Fengxing, is it really you?" The weak male voice suddenly brought Ye Huangyu back to full consciousness.

Grabbing Nie Fengxing's hand and feeling his weakness, Ye Huangyu found that he was seriously injured; there was a large bloody wound on his abdomen.

Nie Fengxing had crawled all the way here, blood continuously bubbling out.

"As long as I've found you, it's alright, don't be scared, I'm here." Nie Fengxing's voice grew weaker, and his deep eyes slowly closed.

"Nie Fengxing, what's happened to you, don't sleep?" Ye Huangyu had never felt this afraid before.

Even in the most hopeless moment more than a decade ago, she was not as desperate as today.

Nie Fengxing would die, he absolutely couldn't die.

He must have fainted due to excessive blood loss and lack of strength.

In such an environment, there was no way to stop his bleeding.

Ye Huangyu gritted her teeth, reached for her wrist, picked up a Beast Bone beside her, and forcefully cut a slit.

Warm blood was fed into Nie Fengxing's mouth.

Nie Fengxing gradually regained his Qi.

"You're insane! I can't drink your blood." Nie Fengxing's mouth was full of a sweet metallic taste—it was blood, the taste of human blood.

"I have taken Seventh Grade Life-extending Pills. Ling Yue said that my physique has been transformed; my blood can extend life. I can't let you die," Ye Huangyu, disregarding the pain on her arm, saw that Nie Fengxing's voice had much more energy than before, and she burst into relieved laughter.

Remembering the times in the military camp, Ye Huangyu had faced Life and Death several times and eventually healed herself. It seemed her words were true.

Nie Fengxing secretly circulated his Primordial Power and found that some of it had indeed recovered. He then checked Ye Huangyu's wrist, the bleeding had stopped, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What brought you here?" Ye Huangyu saw that Nie Fengxing was out of danger and breathed a sigh of relief.

After an awkward silence, Ye Huangyu casually asked.

"I was worried about you," Nie Fengxing muttered.

"You're foolish; if you were worried about me, why did you deliver yourself to be snake food!" Ye Huangyu had never seen anyone with such poor judgment.

"After meeting you, I became foolish." But in the next moment, Nie Fengxing hugged Ye Huangyu and after going through Life and Death, Nie Fengxing realized a lot.

He didn't care what others thought anymore, he liked Ye Huang, and no one could change that fact.

"What are you talking about?" Ye Huangyu hurriedly tried to push Nie Fengxing away, but in the next moment, she tasted a metallic flavor.

It was Ye Huangyu's blood, just moments ago, their blood had mixed together.

Nie Fengxing's body, now flowed with Ye Huangyu's blood.

In that thoughtless moment, Nie Fengxing hugged Ye Huangyu tightly. His hand suddenly touched something and intuitively reached out, feeling an unusual sensation.

Although he had not been with many women, Nie Fengxing was not so foolish as to not understand what it was.

Like struck by lightning, Ye Huangyu let out a gasp and broke free from his embrace.
