Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 1966 - 488: An Yiqing Poisoned (Part 7)

Immediately, Xiao Yu, who was about to catch An Yiqing, was kicked far away.

The old man, who was the Sect Leader of Han Clan, was furious, but before he could see who had arrived, he was forced to retreat by a surge of inner breath like a raging storm.

"Junior Sister!"

Nie Yuan seized the opportunity to escape, quickly running to An Yiqing’s side, only relaxing when he confirmed she was unharmed.

At this moment, a deep male voice rang out.

"Take her back."

Nie Yuan was startled, realizing that the person who had suddenly appeared was actually Gu Yelin!

Together with him was a red-haired man. Though his strength was not as great as Xiao Yu’s, his speed made him an equal match in battle.

"Junior Sister, hurry, your poison can’t wait any longer!"

Nie Yuan grabbed An Yiqing and ran towards the hall with her.

An Yiqing looked back with some concern at Gu Yelin, who was entangled with the Han Clan’s Sect Leader. The old man’s strength was formidable, and she was worried that Gu Yelin might get the worst of it.

But this was no time for sentimentality; biting her lip, An Yiqing turned her head and ran into the elevator with Nie Yuan.

Upstairs, open the door, make the medicine. Nie Yuan’s actions were smooth and practiced.

An Yiqing quickly lay on the sofa, pulling out silver needles and inserting them into several major acupoints on her body to slow the spread of the poison.

"You silly girl, always trying to show off! So what if you lose the competition? If Sect Leader Uncle finds out you’ve been poisoned, he’ll be worried sick!" Nie Yuan busily fumbled around while scolding An Yiqing. Always gentle and warm, he had suddenly turned into a nagging old maid, criticizing An Yiqing relentlessly.

An Yiqing lay on the sofa, feeling guilty and not daring to speak. She was afraid if she said a word, the furious Nie Yuan would throw her into the medicine cauldron to be refined into a pill.

Fortunately, Nie Yuan’s alchemy skills were excellent. Also luckily, An Yiqing had all kinds of medicinal herbs in her ancient space. Ten minutes later, Nie Yuan successfully concocted the medicine using the Internal Breath Flame.

However, to save time, there wasn’t enough time to form the medicine into pills. Nie Yuan poured the blackened residue from the cauldron into a bowl, mixed it with water, and handed it to An Yiqing.

"Drink it."

An Yiqing’s mouth twitched as she looked at the contents of the bowl. It looked like cigarette ash mixed into clear water and smelled just as disgusting.

"Stop staring at it. Even if your eyes fall out, you have to drink it." Nie Yuan poked An Yiqing’s head in irritation.

An Yiqing sheepishly touched her nose, chuckled twice, then closed her eyes and drank the bowl of black medicinal soup in one gulp.

After drinking, Nie Yuan anxiously asked her, "How do you feel?"

An Yiqing didn’t speak; she closed her eyes, feeling the changes happening inside her body.

After a long time, when Nie Yuan was almost out of patience, An Yiqing suddenly opened her eyes and nodded.

"Senior Brother’s medical arts have improved again. Besides tasting bad, it’s fine."

Seeing An Yiqing’s cheerful expression, Nie Yuan suddenly flicked her forehead hard, "You little brat! Still joking around?! You scared me to death!"

An Yiqing winced in pain, rubbing her forehead as she jumped off the sofa, ready to check on Gu Yelin and the Han Clan’s situation.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

An Yiqing’s eyes lit up, and she quickly ran over to open the door.

Immediately, she felt darkness in front of her eyes as she was pulled into a tight embrace.

"What happened?"

Gu Yelin’s voice was cold, almost like it was frozen. An Yiqing shivered and burrowed guiltily into his arms.

She had promised him she wouldn’t let herself fall into danger easily. But today, she had broken that promise.

Gu Yelin felt particularly helpless, sensing his wife’s guilty attempt to burrow into his arms. His usually expressionless facade almost broke.

Nie Yuan gave Gu Yelin a helpless look, packed up the herbs and medicine cauldron on the coffee table, and tactfully left for another room.

For the next hour, An Yiqing coaxed and kissed Gu Yelin until she finally managed to make him smile again.

Secretly wiping away sweat, An Yiqing vowed never to put herself in danger again. When a man gets angry, he’s incredibly hard to pacify.

At that time, the results of the morning’s competition had already come out. During the two-hour lunch break, Ye Chenghong, who had always found An Yiqing strange, immediately returned to the accommodations.

"What happened?" Ye Chenghong, who raised her, couldn’t possibly not know her well. If it weren’t to keep the team steady, he would’ve rushed back already.

Before An Yiqing could speak, Nie Yuan began recounting everything from last night when they ran into Shi Xiaowen, up to the point where the Han Clan’s Sect Leader almost delayed An Yiqing’s detoxification. Ye Chenghong’s expression grew darker and darker as he listened, until finally he angrily slammed his palm on the coffee table, shattering the hard marble into pieces.

"So it’s the Han Clan! And Guh Siyi and the Divine Institute too! Is Medicine Sect really without anyone!?" Ye Chenghong, rarely seen in a rage, shivered at the thought of his treasured disciple of twenty years nearly dying from poison.

An Yiqing had been avoiding the topic earlier, and it was Gu Yelin’s first time hearing the full story. Cold air emanated from him, even strands of black aura surrounding his body.

If An Yiqing hadn’t bumped into Shi Xiaowen yesterday, if she hadn’t been extra cautious, then would he be holding a cold corpse right now?

At the thought of this possibility, Gu Yelin felt a murderous urge!

Ye Chenghong, seething with rage, was shocked inside, while Nie Yuan and An Yiqing, busy comforting him, looked up in surprise.

"Ah Lin!"

An Yiqing’s face turned pale as the dark aura around Gu Yelin intensified, and his eyes became entirely black!

"Old Jin!"

Ignoring Nie Yuan’s presence, An Yiqing quickly summoned Old Jin, who had been training in her ancient space, to set up a barrier to isolate Gu Yelin’s aura.

In such a time, with Xuandu City teeming with factions, Gu Yelin absolutely couldn’t be discovered!

Luckily Old Jin appeared in time, for just as Gu Yelin’s dark aura was about to be released, Anpei Lan, who had arrived in Xuandu but hadn’t watched the matches, was the first to notice the anomaly!
