The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Behind him were cave walls, offering no way out; in front of him were swarms of Gu worms, leaving no way to survive.

The fact that one of the three was physically weak and pale made their predicament even worse.

Xuan Zhu and the other two were in a sorry state, staring with despair at the swarm of black Gu worms.

They had been fighting these Gu worms tirelessly for two days and two nights without sleep or food, and their bodies were now at their limit. They feared that if these Gu worms attacked again, they would collapse.

But deep down he was unwilling. A true man would rather die protecting his master than die under the claws of these beasts, and even less become their food.

However, it now seems that this is a foregone conclusion.

"Brother Zhu, rather than die at the hands of these disgusting beasts, we might as well swallow the Corpse-Rotting Pills." One of them said with resentment in his eyes. In this desperate situation, he had no other choice.

Xuan Zhu's eyes darkened. He had spent his life studying medicine and never imagined that he would one day commit suicide by swallowing a corpse pill.

This is a disgrace to a doctor, but compared to becoming food for these worms, accepting this disgrace seems less shameful.

"So be it, brothers, let's go together. We can keep each other company on the road to the underworld. In the next life, let's continue our brotherhood." Xuan Zhu sighed, took out a corpse-rotting pill from his sleeve, and took one last look at his two brothers beside him, hoping to remember their faces one last time.

"Brother Zhu, see you in the next life!" The two took one last look at Xuan Zhu, and then took out corpse pills to swallow.

"Bam—"

Just then, a huge explosion suddenly occurred, shaking the ground violently and causing many rocks to fall from the cave ceiling.

"Bang—thud—" In an instant, stone fragments flew everywhere like dust, and dust filled the air.

"Awooo—" Accompanied by the sound of falling gravel, came the pitiful cries of the Gu worms.

After the dust and pebbles settled, a figure in dark ink appeared in the air, with flowing black hair, a sword flashing like lightning, and eyes as cold as ice.

Who is that person, Luo Qianmo?

"Your Highness!" Upon seeing Luo Qianmo, Xuan Zhu and the other two excitedly dropped the Corpse-Rotting Pills they were holding.

Their prince came to their rescue.

In fact, Luo Qianmo could not hear the voices of Xuan Zhu and the other two at all, but he felt that they were right there. As soon as his gaze swept over, he saw the three disheveled figures and the hope shining in their eyes.

"Xuanlan, go and save Xuanzhu and the others immediately!" Luo Qianmo swept his sword across a swarm of Gu worms and gave the order with an icy expression.

Xuan Lan was fighting a group of Gu worms when she heard that Xuan Zhu was still alive. She immediately became as if she had been injected with chicken blood and fought her way in, carving a bloody path in almost an instant.

Xuan Zhu and the other two were exhausted, but upon seeing Luo Qianmo, they seemed to come back to life and immediately began to fight the Gu worms surrounding them again, as if they had inexhaustible strength.

This is the power of hope.

In an instant, the sounds of swords slicing through the air and the screams of Gu worms rose and fell, piercing yet exhilarating.

In the end, Luo Qianmo rescued Xuan Zhu and the other two from the dead-end cave.

During the fight, Xuan Zhu and the other two still had some strength, but once the danger passed, their tense nerves relaxed, and when they were about to kneel down and pay their respects to Luo Qianmo, their bodies began to sway.

Luo Qianmo frowned slightly, waved to Xuan Zhu and the other two, and dismissed their formalities.

Only then did Xuanzhu and the other two breathe a sigh of relief, letting their bodies slump to the ground, lying there without any regard for their image.

Just as Xuan Zhu lay down, she suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Fang Qingyou with pleading eyes: "Miss Fang, please save Ling Feng, he has been bitten by a Gu worm."

In an instant, everyone's expression changed, as they all knew what the consequences would be if they were bitten by a Gu worm.

Before Xuan Zhu could speak, Fang Qingyou had already noticed Ling Feng's unusual behavior.

Xuan Zhu and the other two were indeed physically exhausted and should have been weak, but Ling Feng's weakness was tinged with an eerie pallor, as if he had lost all his vitality.

Upon hearing Xuan Zhu say that Ling Feng had been bitten by a Gu worm, Fang Qingyou's expression changed drastically. She immediately bent down and squatted down beside Ling Feng.

Ling Feng was about to say something, but Fang Qingyou stopped him with a raised hand: "Ling Feng, you don't need to say anything. The most important thing now is to conserve your energy."

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng's lips moved slightly before closing again; he truly had no strength left to speak.

Upon seeing this, Fang Qingyou immediately placed her fingers on Ling Feng's wrist to check his pulse.

At that moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Fang Qingyou, as if those few slender fingers could determine Ling Feng's fate.

Fang Qingyou's delicate eyebrows furrowed and relaxed repeatedly.

Everyone's hearts tightened as Fang Qingyou frowned, and relaxed as her brows unfurrowed.

Finally, Fang Qingyou's brows relaxed, and at the same time, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

The crowd had a vague feeling that what they were waiting for might not be such a bad outcome.

Fang Qingyou turned her gaze to Xuan Zhu: "Lord Zhu, what medicine did you give Ling Feng after he was bitten by the Gu worm?"

Xuan Zhu shook his head and looked at Ling Feng with a questioning gaze: "I didn't give Ling Feng any medicine. The situation was too chaotic at the time, and I had no time to take care of Ling Feng. After being bitten, Ling Feng took some medicine himself, which temporarily suppressed the Gu poison."

"Oh?" Fang Qingyou was somewhat surprised.

Ling Feng's lips moved weakly, silently uttering the word "purple".

Fang Qingyou's eyes flickered, and she took out a purple medicine bottle from her body: "Ling Feng, look, the bottle you used to take medicine looked like this?"

Ling Feng had no strength to speak or nod. He silently mouthed "yes" while closing his eyes, hoping others would understand his answer.

A look of surprise flashed across Fang Qingyou's eyes. The medicine in the purple bottle was one she had prepared. It was originally a tonic that could instantly replenish physical strength and restore vitality, but she hadn't expected that this medicine would have the effect of restraining the poison of the Gu worms.

Logically speaking, this medicine shouldn't have this effect. Is this unexpected effect because it contains Seven Star Purple Ginseng or Purple Spirit Water?

"This, this is Miss Fang's medicine!" Xuan Zhu recognized it at a glance, looking at Fang Qingyou with shock in his eyes. He never expected that she had only been in contact with Gu worms for a short time, yet she was able to prepare an antidote to Gu poison so quickly.
