After Wen Yuxi figured it out, she put her arm around Zhiming's shoulders and waited for him to wake up.

With his other hand, he pinched the corner of his sleeve and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.

Hot steam rose from the spring. Although he felt cool all over, his forehead was covered with some moisture.

Wen Yuxi wiped the sweat off his face very gently, for fear of waking up the people around him.

After wiping the sweat off his face, he withdrew his hand, and his slender fingers were covered by the wide sleeves.

The wound on the back of his hand, left by the vine monster breaking out of his body, has already scabbed over, and it looks like it will take a few days to fully heal.

Wen Yuxi maintained this posture for a long time, and his whole body felt numb and sore.

I was thinking about how to change my position without disturbing Zhiming.

But he saw the person sleeping with his head on his shoulder, his long eyelashes trembling.

He spoke incoherently.

Wen Yuxi tilted her ear to listen, her eyes slightly widened, as if she wanted to hear more clearly.

But after saying that, Zhiming stopped talking.

Wen Yuxi withdrew his head and muttered cautiously, "He looks so calm and beautiful on weekdays, but even when he's asleep, he's actually worried."

Zhiming raised his eyelids slightly, as if he was opening his eyes.

Wen Yuxi's face lit up with joy, and he thought to himself: Senior brother is finally waking up. It's dangerous here, so it's better to leave early.

But his eyes only opened slightly and he didn't really wake up.

Wen Yuxi couldn't help feeling helpless.

The smile that had just appeared on his face gradually disappeared, and his already numb and weak shoulders trembled slightly.

But his eyes were fixed on the expression on Zhiming's face, afraid of waking him up.

He thought to himself, after his brother fell asleep, he stayed for a while and exchanged items with the lotus demon. Calculating the time, he had already slept for half an hour, so he should have woken up by now, right? Why hadn't he woken up yet?

Could it be the aftereffect of using the lotus demon's pollen?

He naturally hoped that his senior brother would wake up earlier, but he also knew that his senior brother had been taking him day and night for the past two days and had not rested for a long time, so he should have a good rest.

But if some monster comes out from under this gap, although he can risk his life, his skills are really not enough!

At this time, the lotus demon who had just disappeared was hiding behind a lotus leaf. He suddenly said apologetically, "The lotus pollen on this young man has not yet been completely dissolved. Could you allow me to try?"

Wen Yuxi looked behind the lotus leaf in surprise: "So it's really because of the pollen. Then hurry up."

"Ah."

After the woman finished speaking, something was thrown towards Wen Yuxi.

Wen Yuxi raised his hand to catch it, and looked towards the woman with a sharp gaze, waiting for her to clarify.

"This is a lotus pod. There are some lotus seeds inside. Just take one out and give it to Fa to swallow."

Wen Yuxi's face lit up with joy. He didn't expect that lotus seeds could actually detoxify pollen.

"Wait, I have another question."

Wen Yuxi suddenly fell into a coma today, which was very strange, so he asked.

"Sir, please speak."

Wen Yuxi glanced at the emerald green lotus pod and suddenly said, "My brother and I were merely dragged here by the Cang Yin Vine. Why did you make us faint?"

The woman hurriedly replied anxiously, "No, I thought it was another cultivator looking for treasure here. In a hurry, I knocked you unconscious this time."

Wen Yuxi raised her eyelids and asked in surprise, "Again? Could it be that someone has been here before?"

The woman's words seemed to be disturbed.

"Exactly. It has happened several times, and every time it hurts me all over."

"Sorry." Wen Yuxi didn't know how to comfort her and could only respond dryly.

The woman said softly, "Don't blame me, sir. It's my fault that I was born a demon, at the mercy of others."

Wen Yuxi strongly disagreed and replied, "No one has the right to deprive you of your life. Practice hard and make yourself stronger, then no one will dare to bully you."

"Okay." The woman chuckled, as if she had been comforted by him.

Wen Yuxi thought about it and realized, yes, the lotus demon has always been here.

If someone falls from above, every move will be under her surveillance.

And who are the people on the teeth of the giant man-eating flower monster?

Wen Yuxi smiled slightly and said gently, "I want to ask you something, young lady. Have you ever seen people in armor falling in here?"

“It seems so.”

"Really?" Wen Yuxi was delighted. After a pause, he hurriedly asked, "Then do you know where those people went?"

"They, they fell into the water and were captured by the man-eating flower monster."

The woman was behind the lotus leaf, wringing her hands and speaking intermittently.

Wen Yuxi frowned when he heard this.

Sure enough, the group he saw underwater that day should be his elder brother and his group. Could it be that his brother was also...

No, definitely not!

The woman secretly glanced at Wen Yuxi through the lotus leaves, and seeing that he looked unhappy, she quickly waved her hand to explain.

"But don't worry, they are all mortals. I didn't knock them out."

Wen Yuxi was afraid of hearing bad news, and he felt extremely heavy-hearted. He hurriedly asked

"Have you ever seen someone with an extremely good-looking appearance? A tall and thin figure, phoenix eyes, sword-like eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. He is very, very good-looking."

He stared closely at the back of the lotus leaf, his eyes full of anticipation, expecting to hear the word "no" from her mouth.

The woman was very surprised by his description. She turned it over in her mind but couldn't find the person he described.

Those people are very ordinary looking.

After all, she has been living here for many years and it is rare for her to see someone with outstanding appearance. If she sees one, she will naturally remember him at first sight.

"No. I have never seen such a man."

The woman couldn't guess his intention and replied carefully.

When Wen Yuxi heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, young lady."

Since my brother didn't end up here, maybe he is safe and sound somewhere else.

Wen Yuxi turned and smiled bitterly.

In fact, he secretly knew in his heart that if Wen Qianyi came here, he would probably be in great danger, but he always wanted to think positively and pray for him in his heart, as if this way he would be safe.

That person treated him as his own brother, and treated him very well, making him feel a sense of belonging in this world. How could he abandon him alone to support the Marquis's Mansion?

It's just that the old emperor is too insidious and cunning. He wants to hide the good bow after the birds are all gone, and cook the running dog after the rabbit is dead.

This is why Wen Qianyi suffered this disaster.

If his elder brother really disappeared without a trace, would the old emperor take advantage of the situation and charge his family with delaying military affairs?

Wen Yuxi gritted his teeth and thought to himself, if that was true, he would have to run to the palace and make his whole life a mess every day.

I don’t know how things are going at home now.

If Brother Tie knew that he had sneaked out to find Brother Tie, would he be very worried? What would he do if he found him here again?

I should have left him a letter earlier.

At that time, I thought I would be able to return soon on Zhiming's flying sword, but I didn't expect that this world was full of dangers and I was delayed for a lot of time along the way.

And that girl Shuanghua kept talking about going back.

I left right after I came back, and I wonder if she would be worried.

Wen Yuxi was overwhelmed with thoughts and felt deeply saddened.
