Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Witnessing this scene, Fang Jiawen was deeply shocked.

It turned out that there was such a deep meaning behind his father's strict prohibition on him touching the bottle of elixir.

Thinking that his physical condition was not outstanding and that he might not be able to avoid the danger of the drug's backlash, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

As the son of the master of the Divine Doctor Valley, he was forced to learn boring pharmacology knowledge every day and had to endure those extremely bitter medicine soups. This was exactly why he had always wanted to escape from that closed world.

Ying Er, who was standing by, caught the surprise on Fang Jiawen's face, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile.

"It's pathetic that he claims to be from the Divine Doctor Valley but doesn't even know such basic common sense."

His words were full of contempt and disdain.

Fang Jiawen's anger was instantly ignited: "Who do you think you are? Do you know me well? You have been acting weird since we had dinner together. Did I owe you something in my previous life? Just say what you want to say. Don't always say things that are offensive."

Just as Ying Er was about to fight back, Xiao Zhixue intervened in time, her tone firm and unquestionable: "Alright, stop arguing, my ears are almost callused. If you keep on nagging, I'll really make you drink poison."

Her words were simple and direct, yet they revealed unquestionable authority.

Ying Er glared at Fang Jiawen fiercely, but finally chose to remain silent.

When Fang Jiawen heard the word "poison", he was not afraid, but showed a childish smugness: "Miss Xiao, let him taste the power of poison, and it's best to make him shut up in the future. As for me, I have been accompanied by various medicinal soups since I was a child, and I have long trained myself to be immune to all poisons. Those poisons are nothing to me."

His tone was full of confidence, and he seemed quite proud of his special physique.

Facing this scene, Xiao Zhixue did not show the slightest bit of surprise, as if she had already carefully considered Fang Jiawen's extraordinary identity in her mind, and concluded that it was reasonable for him to possess such a special physique.

Ying Er, on the other hand, had a look of disbelief on his face, his eyes wide open revealing surprise. He had never imagined that Fang Jiawen could possess such an amazing physique.

Ying Yi gently nudged Ying Er, who was still immersed in shock, with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "What medicine did you take wrong today? Why did you provoke that person for no reason?"

Ying Er curled his lips slightly and muttered quietly, with a barely perceptible jealousy in his tone: "I'm annoyed by his conceited look."

Then, he leaned closer to Yingyi's ear and whispered, "Haven't you noticed that he always finds various reasons to get close to Miss Xiao? Miss Xiao is the only woman our master has been attracted to for many years. I don't want to see this kid take advantage of her."

Yingyi seemed much more indifferent about his master's marriage.

He had long seen through Fang Jiawen's feelings for Xiao Zhixue, but deep down he firmly believed that the distance between the two was as far as heaven and earth.

Whether in terms of martial arts attainments, appearance, or family background, Fang Jiawen could not be compared with their extremely noble prince.

In Xiao Zhixue's eyes, Fang Jiawen was just a slightly immature boy, and compared with the prince of a transcendent status, he could not even compare to him.

Fan Yanmu's figure stiffened, he stood up sternly, and moved quietly between Fang Jiawen and Xiao Zhixue, invisibly blocking their eye contact.

He said in a deep voice: "It is too cold here to stay for long. We should set off as soon as possible. After arriving in Zhangzhou, I will arrange a suitable place for you to stay."

There was an unquestionable strength in his words, steady and resolute.

Xiao Zhixue agreed with this proposal. After all, sleeping outdoors in such a harsh environment would undoubtedly be a great test for everyone's health.

Moreover, some people in the team were already feeling unwell, and this bitterly cold night was undoubtedly a double torture to their will and bodies.

"How far is it from Zhangzhou?"

Xiao Zhixue was secretly anxious. Her feet almost felt pain, but there was still no sign of the end.

Fan Yanmu's gaze pierced through the darkness and locked onto the towering mountain in front of him, which was dyed black by the night.

Just cross the continuous mountain peaks and you can enter the territory of Zhangzhou.

He briefly told Xiao Zhixue this information, and she immediately came up with a plan: "I'll go discuss it with the village chief."

After that, Xiao Zhixue walked lightly towards the village chief and explained the situation clearly and logically.

The village chief heard this and looked easygoing, as if he could accept any decision. "Okay, then we'll set off immediately."

Xiao Zhixue returned to her parents, packed her luggage swiftly, and slung it over her shoulder with ease.

The village chief also informed everyone of Xiao Zhixue's decision, and everyone started to get busy, packing their bags and preparing to embark on a new journey.

As soon as we arrived at the foot of the mountain, a vast world of white snow came into view. Thick snow covered the mountains, as if the earth was covered with a white cotton robe.

Even a sturdy horse-drawn carriage was difficult to navigate on such a road, so everyone had no choice but to abandon it and choose to climb on foot.

The mountain road is usually sparsely populated, and the snow is thick, almost above the pedestrians' knees. Even the sturdy wooden carts prepared by the villagers can hardly move in this soft and endless snow, which seems extremely difficult.

Fang Jiawen stared at the strange glow of the medicine liquid in the pottery jar, and his doubts grew stronger.

He couldn't help but think of the moment when he met Xiao Zhixue in the mountains and forests. Her figure looked particularly resolute in the sunset, as if all the difficulties in the world could not bring her to her knees.

Is this extraordinary perseverance and determination due to the fact that she knows more unknown secrets?

The air around seemed to freeze, and the only sound that could be heard was the faint sound of flames licking the bottom of the pot.

There was a hint of imperceptible tenderness in Xiao Zhixue's eyes, which was a deep concern and protection for her brother.

"Brother, believe me, we still have a long way to go and we can't rely on this quick method."

Her voice was soft but extremely firm, as if it could penetrate the fog in people's hearts.

Xiao Tingrui looked at his sister's eyes that were full of wisdom and determination. The struggle in his heart gradually subsided. Finally, he slowly shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​taking the potion.

He knew that although there were many difficulties ahead, relying on his own strength and taking one step at a time was the true path of cultivation.

At this time, the wind and snow outside seemed to be even more violent, as if it was a test from nature to these indomitable travelers.

Fang Jiawen stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and secretly decided in his heart that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, he would stay by Xiao Zhixue's side and face the wind and rain together.

The villagers sat around a simple campfire, worry and hope mixed on their tired faces.

The children snuggled in the adults' arms, occasionally revealing sweet smiles in their sleep, as if they were chasing the warm spring sunshine in their dreams.
