Transmigrated into a cunning princess, she sets her sights on a celibate royal uncle.

While the Raven Society is important, it is ultimately just a江湖 (jianghu) organization.

As long as the Jade Crow Token exists in this world, there is no reason why it cannot be found.

Now that her memories have all returned, and she hates those who deceive her the most, why is she still unwilling to kill her?

When this question came to mind, even Huo Jingxuan, who was sitting by the fire, felt a chill run down his spine.

He was never an indecisive person; once he identified a problem, he cut it off immediately.

He would absolutely not allow himself to waver even slightly for Jiang Xi!

After making up his mind, Huo Jingxuan closed his eyes to rest.

Gradually, everyone except a few soldiers on guard duty fell asleep.

Even Bei Ying, who was guarding Huo Jingxuan, started to doze off.

However, in the midst of complete silence, when only the sound of the wind could be heard, an extremely faint rustling sound came from the leaves.

If you don't listen carefully, you might think it's the wind shaking the leaves.

But if you listen carefully, you can tell that it is the sound of something moving through the grass and trees.

Huo Jingxuan was the first to open his eyes, and Jiang Xi was the second.

Jiang Xi, whose hearing is exceptionally sharp, sat up straight in her sleep.

When she lifted the tent flap, a heart-wrenching scream came from outside.

It turned out that a swarm of venomous snakes had crawled in from nowhere and attacked everyone while they were sleeping.

Huo Jingxuan and Bei Ying drew their swords and fought with the poisonous snakes, while most of the others had already been bitten to death by the snakes.

As soon as Jiang Xi opened the tent, Huo Jingxuan's sharp eyes glared at him.

"Go back and close the curtain!"

Jiang Xi subconsciously wanted to listen to him, but the number of venomous snakes increased.

Several snakes had already intertwined and climbed up the sword in Huo Jingxuan's hand, their scarlet tongues flicking out, their sharp teeth biting into the back of his hand.

"Your Highness!" Upon seeing this, Bei Ying stepped forward, grabbed the poisonous snake, and threw it away.

However, Huo Jingxuan already had two bloody holes on the back of his hand.

Meanwhile, the other venomous snakes had already taken the opportunity to coil around the figure's ankles and bite Bei Ying's calves.

"what!"

Bei Ying let out a scream, disregarding everything else, and quickly grabbed the venomous snake and threw it away.

Why are there so many venomous snakes all of a sudden?

As Jiang Xi was surprised, she also smelled a faint, exotic fragrance in the air.

This is... the scent of seven-flower pollen?

Seven-flower powder was the medicinal powder she usually used to lure snakes.

This powder came from her personal space, and she had only given it to her elder brother!

But wasn't my elder brother dead? Who is using this Seven-Flower Powder?

As the number of venomous snakes increased, the situation became uncontrollable, and both Huo Jingxuan and Bei Ying were bitten by the snakes.

In her haste, Jiang Xi had no time to think about anything else. She rushed to Huo Jingxuan's side, took out a bottle of Five Animal Powder, and sprinkled it around.

Where the Five Animal Powder landed, it formed an encirclement, keeping the venomous snakes outside, afraid to approach but unwilling to leave.

It flicked its scarlet tongue, staring intently at them.

At that moment, Bei Ying suddenly remembered something and exclaimed.

"Your Highness, these snakes must have been attracted by Xiao Qi. She did the same thing before when she was in the Prince's residence!"

Huo Jingxuan then recalled the scene of Jiang Xi luring the snake in the Prince's mansion and turned to glare at Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi rolled her eyes so hard they almost cramped up: "I say, Mr. Beiying, have you been bitten by a poisonous snake and gone mad?"

"I've been sleeping in the tent the whole time. Weren't you and the Imperial Uncle keeping watch outside? How could I have had a chance to lure the snakes?"

"You don't necessarily need to do the luring yourself. You just need to give the powder to Chun Tao and let her do it for you to clear your name!"

Despite the excruciating pain in his leg, Bei Ying grimaced as he voiced his guess.

"Am I crazy? I asked Chun Tao to lure the snakes, and then I helped you drive them away?"

Jiang Xi had an urge to kick the Beijing Film Academy out of the industry.

"Shut up, stop arguing!"

Huo Jingxuan, unable to contain himself any longer, roared and looked up at the sky: "The one who really lured the snake has arrived!"

As soon as he finished speaking, accompanied by the sound of a flute, a man dressed in black, wearing a cap and with his face covered by a silver mask, descended from the sky.

Behind him followed countless men in black, dressed identically, as if he had created countless clones of himself.

"You must be Longyue, the leader of the Seven Star Hall?"

Huo Jingxuan stared intently at the man in black holding the flute and asked in a cold voice.

"Now that you know my identity, why don't you go and die in the Yellow Springs!"

Longyue's voice was rough and didn't sound like it came from her throat; it sounded more like ventriloquism, and you could even hear a faint echo.

Jiang Xi stared at him, trying to figure out his true identity.

However, this person deliberately altered his height, build, and even his voice.

There wasn't a single clue to it.

As he spoke, he used Xiao as a sword, aiming for Huo Xidong's heart.

Huo Xidong tried to lift the weight, but ended up spitting out a mouthful of black blood and had to stop.

Seeing that Longyue was almost upon them, Jiang Xi waved her hand, scattering a handful of medicinal powder, and then grabbed Huo Jingxuan and fled.

The white powder landed on people, causing unbearable itching all over their bodies.

Concerned about the power of the medicinal powder, Longyue stopped in time, took a step back, and avoided the powder.

But in that short time, Jiang Xi had already pulled Huo Jingxuan away and disappeared into the dense forest not far away.

"Chase!" Longyue gave the order, and the men in black behind her immediately rushed forward, chasing them into the dense forest.

Jiang Xi knew the pursuers were right behind them, so she pulled Huo Jingxuan and ran as far as possible towards the more secluded roads.

The thorn bushes provided cover and also slowed down the pursuers.

However, Huo Jingxuan was bitten by a poisonous snake, lost all his internal strength, and turned pale.

It was dark earlier, and Jiang Xi was quite far away, so she couldn't see clearly what kind of snake bit Huo Jingxuan.

However, judging from the current situation, it should be extremely poisonous.

Thinking this, Jiang Xi ignored the path beneath her feet, lost her footing, and rolled down a slope along with Huo Jingxuan.

Huo Jingxuan is already very weak and cannot afford to get injured again.

So Jiang Xi hugged Huo Jingxuan tightly, placing one hand behind his head to prevent him from bumping into something.

The two rolled and rolled, not knowing how long they had been rolling, when they heard a splash and fell into a pool of water at the bottom of a valley.

The falling heavy object broke the shimmering surface of the pool, creating a large splash.

Fortunately, Jiang Xi had learned to swim, and immediately pulled Huo Jingxuan to the edge of the pool.

There was a huge rock by the pool. They pulled Huo Jingxuan up and laid him flat on the rock.

Under the moon, there was no wind, and the surface of the pool in the valley was like a piece of tranquil amber. All around was quiet, except for the occasional call of a crow.

"Well!"

Huo Jingxuan sat up, clutching the back of his hand. His face was a mixture of pale and bluish-white, clearly showing signs of the poison taking effect.

Jiang Xi reached into his waistband, found a dagger, pulled it out, and with a swift motion, slashed open a bloody hole in his hand.

Then she grabbed his hand, put it to her lips, and sucked on it forcefully.
