Return of the Phoenix Lady

Chapter 172 Poisoning

After coming out of the remote house, Han Xing took Ying Rui and a few others for a stroll.

Not long after, Jin Haoyu came.

As soon as he saw Han Xing, he immediately ran over and said with a worried look on his face: "Brother Han, where have you been? It really made it difficult for me to find you!"

Han Xing smiled apologetically and said, "Brother Jin, we still know our limits. Don't worry, we just felt a little bored, so we went for a walk."

Jin Haoyu nodded and said, "In that case, then..." Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a gentle and aggrieved voice.

"Brother Haoyu!" Shangguan Lan'er came running over with a look of grievance on her face as if she was about to cry. Her red eyes looked at Jin Haoyu pitifully.

When Jin Haoyu saw her, he frowned and said nothing.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Lan'er lowered her head and bit her lip. After a while, as if she had mustered up the courage, she raised her head and said to Han Xing and the others: "Brother Han'er, I'm sorry! Please forgive Lan'er! It was Lan'er who was bewildered for a moment, so she cooperated with Sister Rong to hurt you. I'm sorry! It's Lan'er's fault! Please forgive me! Wuuuu~" As she spoke, she burst into tears again out of grievance.

Han Xing was about to say something, but before she could open her mouth, she heard a delicate rebuke: "How dare you! How dare you bully my sister Lan'er!"

After a gust of fragrant wind, Princess Xiyu appeared in front of everyone, standing in front of Shangguan Lan'er with an angry face.

Since Princess Xiyu showed up, Yingchen would certainly not be absent. He was standing not far away in a daze, looking at Han Xing and others, and he hadn't reacted for a while.

Jin Haoyu frowned upon seeing this and said unhappily, "Yu'er, you don't know the situation, don't make trouble!"

When Princess Xiyu heard this, she immediately became unhappy and said arrogantly, "I don't care what the situation is. I just see that these people are committing crimes against their superiors. Not only did they bully Sister Lan'er, they even dared not to greet me when they saw me!" It turned out that the grievances suffered by Shangguan Lan'er were not as serious as the severity of not paying respects to her princess.

"Yu'er, stop messing around! They are my friends and they didn't bully Lan'er!" Jin Haoyu had to glare at Princess Xiyu and say this.

"Third brother! Why are you so fierce! These few lowly commoners are worthy of being your friends. What's wrong with you, brother?" Princess Xiyu's eyes clearly showed contempt for Han Xing and others, especially when she saw that these people were all very beautiful. Princess Xiyu, who always thought she was the most beautiful, suddenly became hostile to several people, regardless of gender.

Jin Haoyu simply ignored this spoiled sister and said to Han Xing and the others, "I'll take you guys for a walk!"

"You are not allowed to go!" Princess Xiyu got angry and no one could stop her.

Han Xing originally ignored this unruly and headstrong princess, but who would have thought that this princess would suddenly attack them.

Ying Chen, who had finally reacted, saw the princess heading towards Han Xing and immediately rushed to Han Xing reflexively, but he forgot that his cultivation had been sealed.

Everyone could understand Yingchen's behavior, except Princess Xiyu, who knew nothing. When she saw that her beloved man was standing in front of her and against her for another man, she immediately became angry, but she still stopped the attack in time. After all, she still remembered that Brother Qin had no cultivation at all.

"Get out of the way! I want to teach this bold pariah a lesson!" Princess Xiyu glared at Yingchen and scolded him.

Yingchen said nothing, but his body standing in front of Han Xing remained motionless, expressing his position with his actions.

"You!" Princess Xiyu was so angry that her mind went blank and she forgot everything. Only anger was running through her mind, gradually devouring her reason.

So, Princess Xiyu, who had lost all her mind, drew out her sword and stabbed him, forgetting that Yingchen was just an ordinary person.

Ying Rui, who was beside Han Xing, moved, took out his new weapon, and stood in front of Ying Chen. He exerted force with the hand holding the bone fan and deflected the tip of the sword.

When Princess Xiyu saw that her first stab failed, she immediately attacked with another sword. But how could a delicate princess like her be a match for the man nicknamed "Master Tongtianying"?

Soon, the sword was knocked to the ground by Ying Rui, and Princess Xiyu also fell to the ground due to inertia.

Shangguan Lan'er didn't care about gloating, and hurried to help Princess Xiyu up, asking with concern: "Princess, are you okay?"

Princess Xiyu lost all her thoughts after falling down. She only wanted to kill the people in front of her. She shouted, "Someone! Someone! Kill them! Kill them! Kill them! Kill..."

Jin Haoyu couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he knocked Princess Xiyu unconscious with a palm strike.

"This...this..." Shangguan Lan'er looked at Princess Xiyu who had fainted in her arms in a daze, not knowing what to say.

"Lan'er, send this girl back to her room!" Jin Haoyu ordered Shangguan Lan'er.

"Yes." Shangguan Lan'er responded obediently and left with Princess Xiyu.

"Brother Jin, thank you!" Han Xing said to Jin Haoyu.

"You're welcome. This is what big brother promised you. You guys can chat slowly. I'll keep watch." Jin Haoyu smiled at Han Xing.

After Jin Haoyu left, Ying Rui couldn't help but yelled at Ying Chen, "Brother! You're going too far!"

Ying Chen looked at Ying Rui with a complicated expression, then looked at Han Xing, and then said, "I'm sorry, everyone!"

Ying Rui sighed softly and looked at Ying Chen and said, "Brother, leave Mother's affairs to us! The Young Master will definitely rescue Mother, so you don't have to worry. What you should worry about now is your cultivation. Without it, it will be too dangerous for you to be alone!"

Then, he turned to look at Han Xing and asked, "Master, how can I unlock my brother's cultivation?"

Han Xing didn't say much. He stretched out his finger and pointed at Yingchen. A faint silver light emerged from his fingertips. He concentrated and carefully examined Yingchen's body.

"Damn it!" Han Xing suddenly shouted angrily, scaring everyone.

"Young Master, what happened to my brother?" Ying Rui asked hurriedly. Looking at the young master's angry expression, the situation seemed very bad!

"What did they give you to eat?" Han Xing stared at Ying Chen.

Yingchen also realized that something was wrong. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "A pill to seal your cultivation."

"That's not a medicine that seals one's cultivation, but a chronic poison! This poison can completely destroy one's cultivation, and the body becomes weaker day by day. However, the change is not obvious, so it is difficult to detect. By the time it is finally discovered, the poison has already penetrated into the internal organs and there is no medicine to cure it!"

"Is there any medicine to cure it?" Ying Rui asked worriedly.

"The medicine is not difficult to find, but the difficult part is the medicine guide." Han Xing said in a deep voice.

"What is it? No matter what it is, I will find it!" Ying Rui said firmly.

"Cold snow grass."

"Cold snow grass? What is that?" Even the knowledgeable Ying Rui didn't know.

"I read in the medical book the old man gave me that snowweed grows on the steep cliffs of icebergs in the Ice Country, in the cracks of ice-stained rocks. The climate there is extremely cold, and the snow never melts year-round. The book describes it like this: there's grass in the snow, like a lotus with a single stem."

"In the Ice Country? Then young master, you stay here. I will go to the Ice Country first to gather information, and try my luck on the iceberg. Maybe I can find it." Ying Rui suggested.

"No! The iceberg is extremely cold. If you go there alone, it would be like seeking death!" Han Xing rejected it without even thinking.

"But, what should we do?"

"Yingchen's illness is not urgent. Although it cannot be cured now, I can give him some time to recover. After we finish dealing with things here, we will go to Bingguo together to find Hanxuecao." After hearing what Han Xing said, everyone thought it was better to be safe. Anyway, Yingchen's poison was not urgent, so everyone agreed.

Han Xing took out a tonic made from Suifeng grass, handed it to Yingchen, and said, "Eat it."

After taking the medicine, she wanted to say something, but when she heard Jin Haoyu's footsteps, Han Xing's expression changed. She threw herself into Ying Chen's arms and shouted, "Brother! Brother! I can't bear to leave you! Brother!"

Yingchen smiled bitterly, touched the top of Hanxing's head, looked at the little head in his arms, his expression was so tender that tears flowed out of his eyes, and said: "I can't bear to leave you either."

Seeing this scene, Jin Haoyu couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's almost time, Brother Han, let go!"

So, under Jin Haoyu's advice, Han Xing finally let go of his hand after a lot of tugging and, with a reluctant look on his face, led the group away.
