CHAPTER 464: CHAPTER 334: A NARROW ESCAPE

A flash of panic and fear flickered in Ye Lingyue’s eyes.

After enduring pain, the teenage girl couldn’t help but feel alarmed when faced with such a situation.

Wu Zhong sighed, grabbing Ye Lingyue’s wrist, and found that within her body, the medicinal power of the Nirvana Heart Lotus was like an uncontrollable wild tiger, manically surging.

"How could this be?" He had just used Primordial Power to disperse her medicinal power. Why did it not weaken, but instead become even stronger?

Wu Zhong was greatly startled, and upon seeing Ye Lingyue’s condition, he understood something.

Xue Pianran... that woman had deceived him!

The medicinal power of the Nirvana Heart Lotus simply could not be dispelled using Primordial Power. His previous attempt to help did not only not alleviate the situation but actually harmed Ye Lingyue. If this went on, she would surely burn from the inside out, at best her Dantian would shatter, at worst her body would explode and perish.

He and Feng Xun had both been fooled by Xue Pianran. That woman, intelligent from a young age, must have also guessed that the person who made Feng Xun see her in a new light was a woman.

Daring not use Primordial Power to dispel the medicinal power, Wu Zhong stood still in the bathtub for a while.

After a slight hesitation, he removed his long robe, hastily wiped down Ye Lingyue’s body, and then wrapped her up, instantly leaping out.

Held in Wu Zhong’s arms, they moved as swiftly as lightning, with countless mountains and the sound of wind rushing past Ye Lingyue’s eyes and whistling by her ears.

Not knowing how long had passed, it seemed they had already left Xixia Plain far behind.

In a world filled with ice and snow, beautiful snowflakes fell into an Ice Lake at the summit of a mountain.

"Wu Zhong, you bastard!"

Ye Lingyue was tossed into an ice pool, and within her body, clusters of flames torched her will.

The bone-chilling cold spring water could not extinguish the increasingly intense thoughts in her body; on the contrary, it made her feel even worse.

Behind her, the sound of water.

As if she knew what was going to happen next, she struggled to escape forward.

"Ye Lingyue, if you don’t want to die from your body exploding due to the medicinal power, you’d better behave," Wu Zhong cursed softly, firmly holding her in his embrace.

Eighth-grade Nirvana Heart Lotus was different from Fifth-grade Red Sun Ginseng.

Unable to use Primordial Power to dispel it, there was only one way left.

The coldness from within Wu Zhong’s body, coupled with the water of this thousand-year-old Ice Lake, was enough to counter the medicinal power of the Nirvana Heart Lotus.

"I will try to be as gentle as possible."

Like coaxing a crying child, Wu Zhong’s voice was unprecedentedly tender; he even used the word "I".

His words caused Ye Lingyue’s whole body to tense up, igniting an even greater urge to flee.

The man’s breath rushed towards her, and the fabric on his face broke apart.

Ye Lingyue struggled to imagine how Wu Zhong would react when he saw her face, which hadn’t fully healed yet.

The only thought in Wu Zhong’s mind was to devour her.

"Wu Zhong, you can’t..." Ye Lingyue murmured.

"Why can’t I?"

Wu Zhong’s evil breath entwined around her ear.

Under the hazy moonlight, on the cold surface of the lake, Wu Zhong clearly saw Ye Lingyue’s face.

His breathing suddenly became erratic, not only because of the restlessness caused by the medicinal power of the Nirvana Heart Lotus, but also because of the moonlight. The originally beautiful face was now even more captivating and even tinged with a hint of seductiveness.

Black pupils that were nearly purple, fair skin without a single pore, deep red lips, and delicate nose and brow bones.

"Little Yueyue, the first time I saw you, I thought, ’You are mine.’ Over these years, that useless man got only this right."

The man’s deep and magnetic voice sounded enchanting. When Ye Lingyue heard "Feng Yun’s" name, she suddenly came to her senses.

She opened her eyes abruptly to find herself already on the shore, held by Wu Zhong.

Cold snowflakes drifted down from the sky, transforming into droplets on their bodies before they even touched the ground.

His clothes were now gone, only the golden mask on his face remained, still shining in the darkness.

The ferocious Ghost head and countless dark tattoos made Wu Zhong’s robust body seem even more eerie.

From Wu Zhong’s eyes emanated an astonishment that was hard to ignore.

She struggled to avoid him, but he was one step ahead and caught her swiftly.
