C40

Yan Xiaoxi took out her soft whip and whipped it. The long whip moved nimbly towards Man in Black like a giant python and accurately hit a certain Man in Black.

The others cleverly avoided Yan Xiaoxi's attack.

At the side, Bei Baixi was busy fighting with Man in Black.

At this moment, Bei Baixi also realized that these people were purposely pestering him, with the intention of separating him and Yan Xiaoxi so that they could deal with Yan Xiaoxi.

By the time Bei Baixi realized this, he was already unable to escape from Man in Black's attack power.

On the other side, Yan Xiaoxi was in an extremely dangerous situation.

From time to time, a sharp sword would come out from the left, and from time to time a sharp sword from the right.

Although Yan Xiaoxi's attack speed was quite fast, it was fortunate that her martial arts skills were not weak, so she could still deal with them one by one.

At this time, Man in Black saw that they had been delayed for a long time. If they continued, it would not be good for their situation.

Thus, a certain Man in Black secretly left the group and lurked at the side, looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

As long as the mission was completed, the method would not matter to them at all.

Yan Xiaoxi, who was focused on fighting, didn't even realize that she was in a dangerous situation. If she wasn't careful, she would lose her life.

"Kill!" The leading Man in Black shouted, and his morale immediately rose.

Yan Xiaoxi responded calmly. However, it was difficult for two fists to contend with four hands, and her moves were getting weaker. Her negligence also gave Man in Black, who was hiding in the shadows, an excellent opportunity.

Man in Black gripped his sword tightly and was ready to attack.

After finding the right time, he quickly attacked.

Yan Xiaoxi, who had been defending against Man in Black, was completely unconscious. At this moment, Bei Baixi turned his head and witnessed this scene with his own eyes. He immediately shouted in shock, "Xi!"

This heart-wrenching scream made Yan Xiaoxi immediately alert, but it was already too late.

The sword was already coming at her at an indescribable speed.

Yan Xiaoxi stood rooted to the spot like a statue. It was as if someone had pulled all the strength out of her body. She just foolishly looked at the sharp sword coming at her.

What should he do?

There wasn't enough time to defend, and it was too late to dodge.

The anxious Bei Baixi wanted to get rid of Man in Black in front of him, so he rushed to Yan Xiaoxi's side and was saved by her. However, no matter what, he couldn't get rid of Man in Black.

"Nangong Lin." Yan Xiaoxi shouted.

Even she didn't know why she would call out his name at such a critical juncture. Even if he couldn't have heard, he wouldn't have miraculously appeared here to save her.

However, she suddenly shouted just like that.

Without a reason, everything was up to him. Even Yan Xiaoxi didn't expect that at this moment, her life was hanging by a thread. At this moment, her heart was thinking about Nangong Lin.

The sword was getting closer and closer.

Even Yan Xiaoxi could feel the cold stream of air from the sword Qis.

She had long since raised her arm, but it was too late to knock down the sword that had come to take her life.

Yan Xiaoxi closed her eyes. Her mind was filled with Nangong Lin's anger towards her. He wanted to protect her and snatch her food.

She had thought that the sharp longsword would immediately pierce into her chest, but after waiting for a long time, it didn't move at all.

Suddenly, she felt a few drops of viscous water on her hands.

The feeling of the water stain was so familiar. It seemed like … it was blood.

That's right, blood!

Yan Xiaoxi instantly had a bad feeling. When she opened her eyes, she saw Nangong Lin's tall and big body standing upright in front of her.

His five fingers tightly gripped the longsword as fresh blood flowed from it.

All of a sudden, he used his inner force. With a slight movement, the longsword was broken into two halves.

Not far away, Man in Black and the Wang Mansion's people were engaged in an intense battle.

"Xi." Bei Baixi, who had escaped, immediately ran over to take care of Yan Xiaoxi's injuries.

Yan Xiaoxi remained silent, her gaze locked firmly on Nangong Lin's hand. She clearly saw the deep wound on his finger. He held it tightly, as if he was covering the sword with all of his strength, afraid that the sword would pierce her chest.

"Linlin." In the blink of an eye, tears flowed down Yan Xiaoxi's cheeks.

"I'm fine." Nangong Lin comforted Yan Xiaoxi by rubbing her black hair with his other hand.

"So much blood, how could it be okay?" Yan Xiaoxi wasn't stupid, she didn't believe Nangong Lin's words at all.

"Skin trauma." To Nangong Lin, this sort of injury was nothing.

To think that he was wearing armor at the age of ten, what kind of injuries had he not suffered before?

Hiss *

Yan Xiaoxi tore off her skirt and immediately wrapped it around Nangong Lin's neck. Her actions were very gentle.

"Don't touch water for the next few days." Yan Xiaoxi gave Nangong Lin medicine and told him.

She had carefully examined him before. Fortunately, he hadn't injured her muscles and bones. He would be able to recover in a short period of time.

Nangong Lin nodded. Looking at Yan Xiaoxi's pained expression, he was in a good mood.

"Prince, Wu Tie has run away." The butler went over to Nangong Lin and reported it.

"Let's go chase them." With that, Yan Xiaoxi immediately made her move. She definitely wouldn't let the person who hurt Linlin go.

"Don't chase after a desperate enemy." Nangong Lin held out his hand to stop Yan Xiaoxi.

"But …" Yan Xiaoxi originally wanted to say something, but was forced back by Nangong Lin's dark gaze.

Suddenly, Yan Xiaoxi was shocked. Her eyes widened as she turned around to look at Bei Baixi, who had been neglected, and asked, "Is Brother Bei alright?"

Bei Baixi shook his head and smiled.

Now that Yan Xiaoxi finally remembered his existence, he wasn't sure if he should be happy or disappointed. At least he had a place in her heart.

Once they returned to the Prince Lin's Mansion, Yan Xiaoxi immediately wrote the prescription and told her people to go get the medicine for Nangong Lin.

After making the medicine, Yan Xiaoxi went back to her room.

"Linlin, take your medicine." Although Nangong Lin's injury wasn't serious, he still needed to be treated.

She placed the bowl full of steaming medicine on the table and pushed it in front of Nangong Lin.

Nangong Lin smiled charmingly and reached out his uninjured hand, but immediately retracted it back.

He placed his hand in front of Yan Xiaoxi and said, "I'm injured."

It was only three words, but Yan Xiaoxi already understood Nangong Lin's meaning.

He immediately picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of soup and blew lightly on it. Then, he placed it in front of Nangong Lin's mouth.

Nangong Lin smiled in satisfaction. He drank the soup that Yan Xiaoxi passed him and said, "Hot."

"Hot, I'm blowing." Yan Xiaoxi played the soup in her spoon seriously for a long time before she passed it to Nangong Lin.

He thought the soup was cold, but unexpectedly, Nangong Lin complained again: "Hot."

Hot?

It shouldn't be too hot after such a long time!

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Lin doubtfully. Then, she prepared to test the temperature herself. She scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth.

The moment the medicine entered Yan Xiaoxi's mouth, a sinister smile appeared on Nangong Lin's face. He looked at Yan Xiaoxi and said, "Feed it to me like this."
