Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

But she couldn't help sobbing.

The wound and the fabric of the clothes were stuck together. I was careless just now and didn't expect there were so many traps in the forest. I didn't have time to block them and was still hit by two arrows.

He would have been hit by a few more arrows, but a sudden airflow appeared in his right hand and blocked a few arrows, buying time for Bai Sui'an to find a breakthrough point and leave.

He wanted to treat the wound quickly before going home, but considering that the bloodstains along the way would be easy to trace, Bai Sui'an pulled out the arrow only when he was near the village, and then took out some medicine from the space and poured it on the wound.

But I don’t know what kind of poison was used on the arrow, it actually has a hallucinogenic effect.

Bai Sui'an held on all the way and drank a few sips of spiritual spring water, but it didn't work immediately. Finally, before he lost consciousness, he fell into someone else's yard.

As long as she waits until the spiritual spring water takes effect, she can go home.

The pain from the wound gradually brought Bai Sui'an back to consciousness. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes to see Ye Lingche's well-defined profile.

Ye Lingche glanced at Bai Sui'an lightly, and seeing that she was awake, he did not stop his actions.

"The flesh and cloth are stuck together. It will be a little painful. Just bear with it."

He moistened the cloth on the wound again with a wet handkerchief and slowly lifted it up.

Bai Sui'an closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and ignored the pain in his waist and abdomen. He asked, "Where is this?"

"You fainted in Brother Qi's yard. They put you there."

The cloth finally separated, and in addition to the smell of blood, there was also a faint smell of medicine at the wound.

Ye Lingche asked: "Have you used the medicine yet?"

"Well, the arrow was poisoned, so I used the antidote."

Ye Lingche glanced at Bai Sui'an without leaving a trace, and then continued to treat another wound.

"You are a very good doctor."

Bai Sui'an didn't understand why Ye Lingche said that.

"I only know how to take medicine, not see a doctor," she said.

Ye Lingche smiled faintly: "Then you also cured me of the poison, didn't you?"

Bai Sui'an suddenly thought of the letter he had just found and said, "The emperor has been poisoned. I have an antidote. Find a way to have it delivered to the palace so he can drink it."

Ye Lingche paused and tilted his head to look at her: "After such a serious injury, is this the only news I get?"

He didn't seem to care whether his father lived or died.

"The Crown Prince is still alive, but we haven't had time to find out where he is. His murder is linked to someone in the palace. They're going to make a move soon, targeting the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and will also devour every state and prefecture one by one."

"First, take good care of your injuries. I'll have someone investigate these."

Pushing Bai Sui'an's pants to his knees, Ye Lingche asked, "Where's the medicine on you? I'll clean your wound and apply the medicine again."

The room was dim, and the candlelight was not close to the bed. Bai Sui'an's hand was hidden in the shadows, and he took out a bottle of medicine from the space and gave it to Ye Lingche.

“Just pour it on top.”

Ye Lingche took the bottle, rubbed the skin at the edge of the wound with his thumb, and slowly shook the medicine onto the wound.

Bai Sui'an had no other reaction except closing his eyes, frowning and enduring the pain.

"You weren't timid when you applied the medicine to me before. Now it's my turn to apply the medicine to you, but you seem to be at ease. Don't you feel that I have offended you?" Ye Lingche said.

"I have served you for so long. It's your turn to serve me. There's no need to feel uncomfortable." Bai Sui'an answered casually.

If she is shy, she rarely feels shy.

Perhaps because she was used to being stared at in the laboratory since she was a child, she didn't think her body was private.

"Are there any other injuries on your body?" Ye Lingche asked.

The two arrow wounds had been treated with medicine. Ye Lingche capped the medicine bottle and placed it next to his pillow.

Bai Sui'an raised his right hand and gently pressed it on his left shoulder. He said, "I got hit by a palm strike here. It's just a simple internal injury. I'll just apply some medicinal wine on it when I get back."

"Have you fought with someone?"

I thought Bai Sui'an was just hit by a hidden arrow. After hearing this, Ye Lingche couldn't help but get nervous.

"Brother Qi and the others are helping you clean up the bloodstains. Will the people over there chase after them and attack them?"

"No, the blood trail stopped halfway. If Sister Xi and the others follow my blood trail, they should be back soon."

Being blocked by an arrow won't cause too much bleeding.

Ye Lingche asked, "Is the person you're fighting strong?"

"The best master in Tianxuan Country, what do you think?" Bai Sui'an said in a relaxed tone, curling his lips and watching the changes in Ye Lingche's expression.

"Ni Ya?"

"Yes, I learned all this from her."

Ye Lingche frowned: "Did she hurt you? But you look..."

"Of course I won't show her what I look like. She and Gong Chang are in cahoots."

"But how do you know she's telling the truth?"

Bai Sui'an laughed and said, "Maybe she thinks I'm despicable?"

Ye Lingche whispered, "You're obviously stupid. You should run when you see her. She's very strong, and it's not easy to recover from a blow from her."

He stretched out his hand and gently touched Bai Sui'an's left shoulder. Just by touching it, he could feel the swelling in that area.

"I owe you something, and I will repay you in the future," he said.

Bai Sui'an pushed his hand away: "Don't repay me later, just stay away from me now. We both know that we are not a real couple, and it's not good to keep doing things that I can't handle."

"Because I care about you and want to be your real husband and wife, is that not possible?" There was a hint of loss in Ye Lingche's eyes.

Unfortunately, Bai Sui'an didn't see it: "Why do you care about me? Even if they are not your children, you should still care about them. The most urgent thing is to let them grow up well."

"When I care about them, I also care about you. I care about whether you are in danger outside, whether you need my help, and whether you will fall in love with other men outside."

Just like Bai Sui'an would be straightforward in any situation, Ye Lingche was not stingy with his expression at this time.

The sudden expression of his feelings caught Bai Sui'an off guard.

Her biological parents abandoned her, her colleagues in the organization alienated her, and even the doctor only cared about her because he treated her as an experimental sample.

Bai Sui'an looked at Ye Lingche blankly: "Is it because I helped you take care of the child? You really don't have to thank me, I wanted to do this myself."

Ye Lingche pinched Bai Sui'an's cheek and said patiently, "I'm a man, not a fool. I can tell the difference between a life-saving grace and a heartfelt feeling."

"I've always wondered what kind of woman is capable of fearlessly hunting wild boars, catching thieves, and even risking her life alone to gather information. And..."

Ye Lingche's deep eyes looked at Bai Sui'an, as if he was admiring a rare treasure.

"Why do you always make me dizzy and obsessed with you?"

Bai Sui'an grabbed Ye Lingche's arm and retorted, "This is just your own feeling. Don't act like I've done anything wrong."

"Of course you did nothing wrong." Ye Lingche chuckled, "I did everything of my own accord."

If it weren't for Bai Sui'an, he wouldn't have felt this way.

People will die, and ending their lives in mediocrity is what Ye Lingche wants for his future.

He was used to growing up under the protection of his brother, who was the most powerful person in the world. He had never thought of leaving his brother, nor had he ever thought that one day he would want to protect someone who had no blood relationship with him.

Even if that person is much stronger than him.
