"What!?" Pei Xuanxi's expression suddenly changed. He held Xu Zheng's face with his big hands and found that Xu Zheng's lips were already turning purple.

Han Liuyi's heart was beating very fast, and she couldn't imagine what would happen if the snake bit her.

Besides feeling palpitations, her heart was also moved by Xu Zheng's actions.

She was thinking about how to kill her, but she also saved herself.

However, if Xu Zheng really died from the snake venom, wouldn’t this be exactly what she wished for?

Han Liuyi clutched the grass on the ground, her eyes wide open with tears in them, but she was injured while trying to save herself!

In an instant, Han Liuyi suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart.

Xu Zheng struggled to keep her eyes open, but the people in front of her turned into one or two and she could no longer focus on them.

Pei Xuanxi was extremely flustered. He put Xu Zheng in front of the tree, half-knelt down and let her lean on his arms.

With no other options, he could only try to suck out the snake venom.

Pei Xuanxi had been afraid of Xu Zheng all his life.

As long as something happens to her, he will no longer be able to maintain his usual calmness.

With trembling hands, he undressed Xu Zheng, revealing her fair shoulders.

He leaned over and sucked out the snake venom from her body mouthful by mouthful.

Ah Zheng, Ah Zheng, I don't want you to die... He screamed in his heart. Because he sucked it with his mouth, he inevitably took in some of it, and now his lips were a little purple.

He doesn't care, he just wants his A Zheng to be fine.

Xu Zheng was dazed and saw a white figure repeating the same action in front of her.

She felt a pair of cool lips touching her shoulder and sucking gently, but she didn't mind at all.

It’s because this person is Pei Xuanxi, she thought to herself for sure.

She stretched out her arm and wanted to grab something. Pei Xuanxi immediately held her hand, but did not dare to stop his movements.

Xu Zheng felt her body go numb. Before she closed her eyes, she murmured softly, "Pei Xuanxi..."

-

When they woke up again, it was still dark. They lit a fire again. Pei Xuanxi still held Xu Zheng in his arms and took a nap against the tree trunk.

Xu Zheng felt that she was fine. In the light of the fire, she saw Pei Xuanxi's thin lips which were a little purple. Under the fiery red light, he completely lost his gentle temperament. Coupled with his slightly furrowed brows, he looked particularly cold and stern.

She stretched out her hand and wanted to touch Pei Xuanxi's cheek.

Just as they touched each other, Pei Xuanxi opened his eyes and saw that she was awake. He asked hurriedly, "A Zheng, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Xu Zheng shook her head, her expression was gentle as it was rarely before: "No, I'm fine."

Pei Xuanxi nodded and used his slender fingers to tidy up her hair.

"A Zheng, you scared me to death." He pursed his lips and sighed inwardly, "I don't want you to take the blame for other people's sins, including mine."

Xu Zheng smiled and said, "It's fun to help others!"

She even found it funny after she finished saying it, "It seems that there is no joy... and you are also poisoned."

Pei Xuanxi hugged her tightly: "I'm fine, I'll be fine soon."

Xu Zheng looked at him deeply with her brown eyes. Behind him was a black background, those irregular branches, and the starry sky.

His hair was a little messy and his clothes were dirty, which actually gave him a somewhat unruly look.

Xu Zheng closed her eyes and asked softly, "Pei Xuanxi, why are you so nice to me?"

Pei Xuanxi was stunned. He didn't expect her to ask this question suddenly.

Before he could answer, Xu Zheng continued as if talking to herself: "Is it because of love? Pei Xuanxi, do you like me? I think I've fallen in love with you, really."

She was extremely nervous. She had always been a person who talked things out, but this was her first time expressing her feelings in front of a boy, and it was also the first time she liked a boy in more than 20 years.

Pei Xuanxi moved closer to her and could vaguely hear her pounding heartbeat.

"Do you want to hear the truth, A Zheng?" His eyes outlined her eyebrows.

Countless times, he dreamed of Xu Zheng wearing a bright red wedding dress, a veil embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and sitting at the head of the bed waiting for him to come back after dealing with those people.

After he lifted the veil, he held her in his arms. Ah Zheng smiled with curved eyebrows and the two pearls under her eyes made her look particularly delicate. Her bright facial features were deeply imprinted in his eyes.

She replied with a smile: Husband.

He succeeded. A Zheng fell in love with him and even took the initiative to tell him.

"Pei Xuanxi?" Xu Zheng waved her hand in front of his eyes. She was very nervous and couldn't help swallowing.

Pei Xuanxi stroked her cheek gently, "I like you, a long time ago, including now, later, and in the next life." He slowly conveyed these words to Xu Zheng's mind word by word.

Xu Zheng looked at him blankly, then smiled, her joy obvious.

"What a coincidence, we love each other." She stretched out her arms and hugged Pei Xuanxi's neck, her heart leaping with joy, "Pei Xuanxi, let's be together."

Pei Xuanxi lowered his head and rubbed her forehead. He was as happy as she was.

"Okay, A Zheng, we'll get married once I get the jade slip," he said.

Xu Zheng's heart suddenly trembled. She suppressed the strangeness in her heart, tears appeared in her eyes, and nodded: "Okay!"

-

It was pitch black in front of Tao Tao and he couldn't see anything.

She was trapped in place and wanted to open her mouth to call for help, but no sound came out.

A rustling sound came from somewhere. She looked up and saw a giant python spitting out its tongue swaying in front of her.

The next second, the giant python opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards her.

With a "bang", Tao Tao unconsciously hit the bed board, then sat up with his eyes as big as copper bells.

Yiqing walked quickly to her bed and sat down, reaching out to touch her face: "A Tao! What's wrong?"

Tao Tao shook her head in a daze: "It's okay... I just had a nightmare."

She looked around and asked anxiously, "It's already afternoon, haven't Zheng and the others come back yet?"

Yiqing shook his head and held her hand: "Don't worry, with Pei Xuanxi here, nothing will happen to Miss Xu."

Tao Tao nodded, threw back the quilt and got out of bed: "Okay, where are Nian Nian and the others?"

Yiqing replied: "They were talking to Zhong Ziyi in the hall about framing you."

"Let's go find them." She casually braided her hair and washed her face again. Her lips were still a little pale.

Why did she dream about snakes for no reason?

In the lobby filled with the fragrance of bamboo, a handsome man in a green suit with loose hair sat on a bamboo chair, looking at the two people in the audience with embarrassment.

"Sorry, Brother Xiahou, Brother Gu..." Seeing the two men staring at him, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he spoke first.

"Zhong Ziyi, I haven't seen you for many years and you are still like this. Why did you block the road to Bishui Villa?" Gu Ling didn't buy his nonsense and asked directly.

Zhong Ziyi smiled awkwardly and said, "This is the rule of our Bishui Villa...There are always a few days a month when we are not allowed to go down the mountain."

"Really?" Gu Ling glared at him.

"Also, there has been an outbreak of smallpox in Taoyuan City recently, so I did this for safety reasons," Zhong Ziyi explained.

"Smallpox?" Xiahou Yu's eyebrows jumped. "When did it happen? How come we don't know about it?"

"I just found out about it a few days ago," said Zhong Ziyi.

The two thought for a moment. At that time, they were busy looking for information about the jade slip. Many things happened in Lianyun City, and they had no idea what was happening in Taoyuan City.

"But don't worry, the city lord has invited a miracle doctor, and he should be well soon." Zhong Ziyi said.

Xiahou Yu stood up, took out the jade pendant from his arms and threw it directly to him.

"Look at this, is it from Bishui Villa?" he asked.

Zhong Ziyi took a closer look and confirmed that the jade pendant was indeed theirs, but... he turned to the back and saw a very small word "Shadow" carved on it.

"This is a piece of jade from our villa, but the owner of this jade pendant passed away a year ago." Zhong Ziyi felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of that childish face.

"One year ago?" Xiahou Yu frowned. "How did he die? Was his jade pendant found at the scene?"

Zhong Ziyi still has a deep impression of Li Ying's death.
