Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

After the two left, Ling Yue came to Wu Xie, sat down cross-legged, and looked at his blank eyes, asking, "Wu Xie, what exactly do you want to do?"

They didn't even care when they were poisoned.

Moreover, Ling Yue was very curious about when he had been infected with snake venom.

Wang Meng was bitten by a black-haired snake in the previous room, but Ling Yue can guarantee that not a single snake will escape Wu Xie's clutches.

Just moments ago, Hei Xiazi said the toxins had damaged his nerves and he couldn't speak. Wu Xie slowly blinked, looked at her, and said in a strained voice, "Xia...will...protect...him."

Ling Yue shook his head: "No, what I'm asking is, I can help you force the poison out, so why are you unwilling?"

His thoughts seemed to slow down, and after a long while, Wu Xie slowly curled the corners of his mouth.

His expression was a little stiff, but you could tell he was smiling: "No need, wait, wait."

Ling Yue: "It'll get better with time?"

Wu Xie closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

Ling Yue found it hard to believe, because Wang Meng, who was also poisoned by snake venom, was writhing like a maggot and making inhuman roars and hisses from time to time.

If you look closely, a white film is gradually covering the eyes.

She had known all along that Wu Xie was a contradictory person.

He seems to be a ruthless person.

However, when faced with real trouble, he is ruthless towards himself, but tends to be soft-hearted towards others at crucial moments.

Ling Yue was worried that Wu Xie was deliberately deceiving her, so she placed his right hand on her knee and kept monitoring the changes in the snake venom in his body by holding his pulse.

Wu Xie didn't struggle; he simply lowered his eyes and sat quietly, letting her do as she pleased.

It looks like he fell asleep while sitting.

Seeing this, Ling Yue released his acupoints to prevent prolonged pressure from hindering blood circulation.

As time went by, Ling Yue did indeed notice that the toxins in his body were slowly dissipating, as if his body had its own antidote.

Ling Yue put his hand back and prepared to get up and explore other parts of the temple.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xie suddenly grabbed her hand and looked up at her again: "Su Nan said that you told her that you like Li Cu. If you could only choose one to take back between me and Li Cu, you would only choose Li Cu."

His eyes looked strange, a mixture of grievance, expectation, and perhaps other emotions.

Wu Xie still had things left to say.

He wanted to say that, clearly, in all these instances, you chose me without hesitation between Li Cu and me.

But he knew perfectly well that there must be two reasons for this: firstly, he was still of great use to her.

Secondly, she saw through her own arrangements for Li Cu and knew that Li Cu would not actually be in mortal danger.

But what torments people the most is this desire under the influence of lucidity.

This longing, every time Ling Yue showed it favor, stirred within it, yearning to take root and break through the soil...

Perhaps his mind was truly affected by the toxins, Wu Xie now desperately wanted even the slightest feedback from her, whether good or bad.

But Ling Yue didn't give him what he wanted. Instead, he reached out and touched his face, looking into his eyes and whispering, "Why are your eyes covered with a white film, just like Wang Meng's?"

He looked so strange and otherworldly.

Wu Xie couldn't help but flutter her eyelashes, and then she was affectionately tugged at her long, thick eyelashes. Suddenly, she heard her murmur, "It's quite pretty."

I don't know if they were praising his eyes or praising him in general.

It's that same ambiguous, subtle flirting again, so light it seems like it was done casually!

Wu Xie was a little annoyed, but couldn't help turning her ears red.

Still wanting to say something more, Ling Yue got up and went without hesitation to look at the murals depicting sacrificial scenes on the door they had just entered through.

Wu Xie gritted his teeth.

After Ling Yue finished looking at the murals and every nook and cranny of the temple, Li Cu and Hei Xiazi finally returned.

However, only one vial of serum was brought back.

They are now facing a situation where they can only save one of Wang Meng and Wu Xie.

Li Cu was caught in a dilemma, holding the syringe, but unexpectedly Wu Xie suddenly snatched the syringe and injected Wang Meng with it.

"Wu Xie, what are you doing!" Li Cu secretly favored Wu Xie, but Wu Xie didn't give him any more chance to hesitate.

The thought of Wu Xie turning into the snake-man she had seen before made Li Cu emotional and unable to accept it. Suddenly, she looked down at the back of her hand, staggered, and fell to the ground.

Ling Yue almost thought the boy was just having trouble accepting the reality that Wu Xie was going to die, and he was so anxious that he fainted.

She wondered if Li Cu's feelings for Wu Xie had become that deep.

Wasn't he flirting with her? Do all men in this world like to practice "monogamy" like this?

This made Ling Yue wonder again if Wu Xie had other feelings for Li Cu.

Meeting Ling Yue's suspicious gaze through the white membrane, Wu Xie was momentarily confused.

But Li Cu woke up again quickly and said that she saw Shen Qiong: "I saw her in Zhang Dafoye's office!"

Ling Yue's heart skipped a beat.

After Wang Meng was cured of the poison, Wu Xie urged Li Cu to leave. When Li Cu was reluctant to leave, Wu Xie hysterically shouted at him to get out.

Ling Yue wanted to follow Li Cu, but he was worried about Wu Xie.

Standing there, Ling Yue glanced at Wu Xie and met his greyish-white eyes. He hesitated for a moment, then turned and caught up with Li Cu, and the two left together.

Once everyone had walked away, Hei Xiazi nudged Wu Xie and said, "Stop looking, they're gone!"

Wu Xie remained seated, not moving.

Wang Meng comforted him with some concern: "Boss, Ling Yue is Li Cu's bodyguard. He promised to take him safely out of the desert."

So it wasn't that she chose Li Cu and abandoned you.

Wu Xie calmed himself down, closed his eyes, and fell back onto the ground, lying there motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.

Black Bear felt a pang of sadness watching this, crossed his arms, clicked his tongue, and kicked him, "So reluctant to let go? Want me to help you get him back?"

Actually, if he had just caught up with Ling Yue and asked him to switch his protection target, Ling Yue might actually have been willing to come back.

Wu Xie shook his head, his voice full of weariness: "No need."

Black Bear chuckled, "You little rascal, you actually thought about it! Looks like nobody loves me, huh?"

Wang Meng sighed repeatedly, wanting to say something but not knowing what else to say.

Hei Xiazi didn't urge Wu Xie any further. After all these years, he felt tired just watching Wu Xie. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a losing deal for the first time.

If other people knew that Hei Xiazi could work for free one day, they would definitely be laughed at to death!

Wu Xie lay on the ground for an unknown amount of time, until the stone beneath him had almost completely absorbed all the heat from his body and the residual toxins in his body had gradually subsided, before he finally got up.

After casually brushing the dust off his clothes, Wu Xie said, "Let's go."

Suddenly, a series of light and rhythmic footsteps came from behind.

Wu Xie turned around in surprise and met Ling Yue's eyes as he walked in.

Ling Yue looked at him for a while before turning to look at the other two, a smile on her face. She raised her hand to indicate the bag she was carrying: "I've come to bring you some supplies, which I just retrieved from the lake."

Black Bear lazily nitpicked, "So fast? Were you still dry after getting into the lake?"

Ling Yue ignored him and handed the bag to Wu Xie: "I've left Li Cu by the lake for now. I'll come back to you after I've taken him out. Even if you've taken the money, you still have to maintain your professional ethics."

Wu Xie, clutching the bag, couldn't suppress a smile: "No need, I have Hei Xiazi here. After you go out, find someone, and he'll tell you what you need to do next." He gave an address and a name.

Ling Yue raised an eyebrow at him with an ambiguous expression.

He didn't say anything, but the meaning was clear: he didn't say anything before, and insisted on waiting for her to come back before saying anything, so if she doesn't come back this time, he won't say anything?

Are they going to make such a blatant attempt to test each other?

Ling Yue felt a little itchy to touch his hands.

Wu Xie seemed to sense the lurking hostility in her eyes and quickly explained, "No, I've already arranged for someone to meet you in the desert. He'll let you know when the time comes!"

He was simply surprised and delighted by her sudden turn around, and couldn't help but want to talk to her more.

Black Bear turned slightly to the side and raised his hand to shield his eyes.

This foolishness shows that the Third Master hasn't changed at all!

Despite his inner disdain, a smile crept into his eyes behind his glasses.

It seems that having Ling Yue as an unexpected addition is actually a good thing.
