Chapter Fifteen: The Deadly Bees

  Huò didn't bother to explain, and instead pulled out a wooden stick from the fish's body. He began to help Nalan Xian'er remove the toxic gallbladder from the fish's abdomen. He knew why Nalan Xian'er was doing this - such a large and highly toxic gallbladder inside the fish's abdomen.

  But the fish body is intact and undamaged, so this fish body is indeed a good thing that can be used to place poison.

  The fish belly was cleared, Huo turned his head, looked at He Xian for a moment, and the two nodded simultaneously. Then they jumped up and flew towards the Focused Lotus. They jumped onto the willow tree, drew their swords, and carefully started to pick the Focused Lotus.

  At this time, Nalan Xianuo walked to Quan Long's side, Quan Long lowered his head, and Nalan Xianuo let out a light sigh, saying: "You go back first."

  "No." Longyu refused without hesitation. He knew what Nalan Xinnuo was going to say.

  Although he couldn't see Nalan Xinxiao's emotions, he knew that even if it was to save his life, cutting off his hand would still make her feel uneasy. She knew that the journey ahead would be increasingly dangerous, and he had already lost a hand; she didn't want him to lose his life as well.

  "Princess!" He didn't wait for Nalan Xian'er to continue, he quickly interrupted her. "Princess, don't think that following you for a few days will make it impossible for me to grow into the kind of person you want!"

  He said excitedly, with red eyes, at this moment, he was unwilling to give up even if he died. Being able to follow Nalan Xianyu was the most honorable thing for him in his life. Not everyone in this world had the qualifications to follow her.

  Those who want to follow her must have a proud bone that despises heaven and earth!

  "Not to mention losing an arm, even if it's a matter of life and death, Quan Long wouldn't bat an eyelid!" Quan Long's tone was firm and solemn.

  A real man, a man who stands tall and proud, the most glorious thing in his life is to find someone worthy of following, to find someone worthy of entrusting his life to, because he believes that as long as he follows this person, even death itself would be an honor beyond compare. He had thought that he had already found him.

  He had always followed people like that, but at this moment, even if he had followed Nan Gong Jin for decades, he could no longer shake his determination. The person he truly wanted to follow now was her, Nalan Xianuo.

  Looking at his determined appearance, Nalan Xinnuo couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. People are always inexplicably entrusting their lives to perhaps completely unrelated people.

  Just like her, wasn't it also inexplicable how she had promised him life and death?

  At this time, Huo Zhe and He Xian rushed over with the temporary leather bag made from fish skin. Inside the bag, the crystal-like powder lotus was filled with glistening water droplets, looking extremely enticing.

  Seeing Guan Long's eyes red and his excited expression, He Xian's eyes rolled over and said displeased: "I'm telling you, Old Guan, you can't be like this. The princess cut off your hand to save you, besides, even if the princess had cut off one of your hands, it would have been an honor for you to die for her!"

  Quan Long heard this and laughed, nodding repeatedly. "Right right right, you're absolutely right!"

  "Huh?" Looking at Quan Long's joyful face, He Xian was speechless. What is going on?

  Three people turned back and looked at Nalan Xixiao. Nalan Xixiao shook his head helplessly, laughing: "It's really what kind of master has what kind of followers."

  Huo Zhi heard this and didn't understand. "What does the princess mean by these words?"

  "That day I went to the post house to make an assassination attempt, your master pursued me relentlessly, chasing me almost out of the imperial city, no matter how hard I tried to shake him off, he was more persistent than a ghost." Nalan Xianyu smiled lightly and glanced at Nan Gongyin.

  Nangong Jin's face was expressionless, but his eyes were filled with a thick smile. "You're overpraising me, madam. I knew you were my wife the moment I saw you, that's why I wouldn't let you go."

  Three people listened with a mixture of confusion and curiosity. Seeing their puzzled expressions, Nangong Jin explained: "The first time I met the madam, she flew in through the eaves to steal duck legs from my room. At that time, I knew that one day she would fly in through the eaves to steal me, so I have been waiting for the madam to come and steal me."

  Nalan Xixi's face fell, she glared at Nan Gongyin with ill humor, hating to throttle him to death. He had actually exposed her secret of stealing and eating a duck leg, revenge shouldn't be taken this far.

  The sky grew darker, and a group of people headed north, advancing into the thicket where Miyabi was. They passed through some similar dark forests, which were calm and peaceful, but such calmness often heralded the arrival of a storm.

  A few people walked quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the north side of the entire forest. Nalan Xianyu stopped her footsteps, looked up at the moon that was already full, and said: "Let's rest here for a night."

  Everyone stopped in their tracks, then turned around. He Xian let out a snore and lay down on the ground, closing his eyes to sleep directly. Huo Zhe looked at him helplessly, then went to fetch water from a nearby stream. Quan Long picked up some dry firewood.

  Under the moonlight, Nan Gong Jin gently held Nalan Xianyu, admiring her plain and unremarkable face. After a long while, he stretched out his hand and lightly stroked her complexion that was so fine not a single pore could be seen, softly saying: "It's really well-made."

  Nalan Xixi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. Indeed, if even she wearing a human skin mask couldn't be seen through, he wouldn't be Nangong Jin either. She smiled and said seriously: "I've been ugly since I was young, my father the emperor feared that it would humiliate the imperial dignity, so he invited famous craftsmen to create this mask for me. If you want to see, I can take it off."

  Nangong Jin heard this and nodded with a smile. "Good."

  Nalan Xixi hesitated for a moment. "I'm really ugly, no, I'm hideous, are you sure you want to look?"

  Nangong Jin couldn't help but laugh. "This face of yours is already ugly enough, and I'm still happy to look at it?"

  Nalan Xixi lightly punched him and hummed: "If you dare not be happy, I will kill you!"

  Nangong Jin's smile deepened as he gently kissed the corner of her lips, softly saying: "Didn't you want to marry Nangong Jin?"

  "Hmm... You said he's a bald old man, so I thought about it and decided to marry you instead. At least you look good, it's comforting to the heart." Nalan Xianyu explained with a very serious expression.

  Suddenly, Nan Gong Jin's face fell, his cold tone making people tremble. "Is that all?"

  Nalan Xixi looked at him with a serious expression, trying hard not to laugh and risking internal injury. She nodded solemnly. "Yes."

  Suddenly, a pair of cold lips fiercely covered her mouth, the wet and hot sensation brutally slid into her lips, recklessly sweeping and stirring. She didn't show any weakness either, immediately responding with gentle and charming teasing.

  But in a moment, Nan Gong Jin was stirred up by Nalan Xianuo's provocation, however, his self-control was still quite good, he wouldn't be swayed by these things again, because at this moment in his arms, was the woman he wanted to cherish for a lifetime.

  He didn't want his own desires to hurt her, nor would he allow anyone or anything to hurt her, even a little bit.

  In the dark, a pair of cold eyes gazed over here, watching their affection, and a hint of abnormality flashed across those clear and cold eyes.

  At night, in the dead of night, He Xian's snores were like thunder, Nalan Xinnuo tossed and turned, suppressing the urge to chop off He Xian with a knife. She buried her small head into Nan Gongyin's chest, motionless.

  After a long time, Nan Gong Jin's hot breath reached his ears. "He has been there for two hours."

  Apart from the three of them, Nalan Xinnuo and Nan Gongjin had already detected the cautious breathing sound not far away. Nalan Xinnuo replied in a low voice: "Until now, there is no movement, it seems that his purpose has nothing to do with us. Tomorrow will be unknown what we will encounter. Since he has no intention of harming us, let's conserve some physical strength."

  Nangong Jin lightly kissed her forehead. "I will obey your teachings, madam."

  The brook babbled, and the night quickly passed. As the sky grew light, the birds in the forest began to chirp one after another. Huo Zhe got up early and went to the water's edge to wash his face. Quan Long took out the food from the package and handed it to Na Lan Xian Nu and Nan Gong Jin. He Xian was still snoring loudly.

  Huo returned and kicked He Xian twice. He Xian turned over and continued to snore loudly. Huo helplessly said, "Be quiet!"

  He didn't react at all and continued to roar... Huo's mouth twitched as he shouted loudly: "Quiet!!"

  Suddenly, all around was quiet. A moment later, a louder sound than before rang in his ears.

  "What's wrong!!!" Huo Zhi rushed over, intending to kick him a couple more times. However, just as he reached his side, Huo Zhi's footsteps came to an abrupt halt. He turned around, his face full of vigilance.

  Nalan Xixi quickly ate the food in her hand, quietly listening to this sudden sound.

  "Hum, hum, hum" - a sound similar to that of fireflies flying together and flapping their wings, is an insect, an insect with wings, and one that gathers in groups.

  The sound is getting closer and closer, different from the sound of fireflies flying, at this time the "humming" sound is shaking in the ear, directly reaching the brain, disturbing people's minds.

  He Xian had already been woken up, and he looked at everyone's serious expressions, swallowing back the words he wanted to ask. Immediately afterwards, he followed them in looking towards Nalan Xixi beside Nan Gong Jin.

  Nalan Xixi finished eating the food in her hand, suddenly! A figure flashed out of the nearby woods.

  Under the black bamboo hat, a layer of black gauze wrapped around his entire face, revealing only a pair of jet-black eyes. His eyes were calm and serene, with an air of detachment that seemed to be born with him. He was running towards them at high speed.

  Three people vigilantly looked at him, and suddenly changed their complexion! Behind him, a large number of unknown objects suddenly rushed out, their formation was like a swarm of fireflies, except that the fireflies looked like a golden dragon.

  And this monster, it was like a giant python, black and oppressive, invading and coming, several people stood up at the same time, leaping back, that man in black had also caught up, following them and escaping forward together.

  "What is this thing?!" he muttered to himself as he ran.

  Several people remained silent and quickly ran forward, with no one paying attention to him.

  After a long time, the black-clad man's cold voice sounded, and he said lightly: "Killer Bee."
