Chapter 673: Truly Damn It

Chapter 673: Truly Damn It

Despite their recent victory using divine weapons, Emperor Xuanming's forces quickly lost morale.

Xie Yuan and the shadow guards also appeared deeply concerned.

Why is the Bai family on the opposing side?

What about my lady's safety?

After spending time together, the shadow guards had come to regard Su Youyue as their master, and they were particularly concerned about her safety at this moment.

Seeing the morale collapse, Prince Bei was so anxious he was on the verge of developing blisters on his lips.

Just then, a woman's melodious voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

"Your Holiness, you're far too confident. I don't know about others, but you've definitely been affected by the Holy Medicine. Not only did Xie Yuan dose you, but I also made sure you were dosed. Who else would be affected but you?"

Hearing her voice, Xie Yuan instantly turned around.

Su Youyue winked at him with a sly smile.

"But there's one thing you got right. Xie Yuan's Holy Medicine wasn't neutralized earlier, but now it is. His wife is here to deliver the antidote."

With that, Su Youyue quickly approached and handed the medicine to Xie Yuan.

"Little Xie Yuan, take your medicine now," said Lu Xixue, who had just arrived, proudly adding, "Don't waste my hard work over countless days and nights."

Even without her saying so, Xie Yuan would have taken the medicine without hesitation if Su Youyue handed it to him.

He took the medicine and swallowed it immediately.

Hearing her voice, many found it familiar.

Prince Bei's eyes widened: "Divine Physician Ji, you're alive?"

"What do you mean 'still alive'? When did I die?" Lu Xixue said with a look of disdain. "Why are you still so clueless after all this time?"

"..."

Hearing that Divine Physician Ji had arrived, all the Dongrong people, whether they had seen her before or not, turned their eyes to her.

That's the legendary Divine Physician Ji!

With her here, who would fear the Holy Medicine lacking an antidote?

What a joke!

She was the Divine Physician Ji who could pull people from the brink of death!

Prince Bei gradually came back to his senses: "Antidote? Divine Physician Ji! What antidote did you just mention?"

"The antidote to the Holy Medicine, made by me. How about it, do you want it?"

Lu Xixue was extremely proud.

Prince Bei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, I want it!"

Before everyone could react, Su Youyue quickly stepped forward and walked directly to Emperor Xuanming: "Your Majesty, please stop talking for now. This medicine is for you, as instructed by Tuoba Xiao."

Emperor Xuanming's mind was already foggy. If he had heard these words from someone else on a normal day, he would have definitely thought twice before doing anything. However, at this moment, he was already somewhat delirious. Hearing it was Tuoba Xiao who told him to take it, he swallowed it without hesitation.

Seeing his older brother take the antidote first, Prince Bei looked expectantly at Lu Xixue.

Su Youyue, however, said, "Mother, don't give it to him yet. We'll give him his dose after we safely leave Dongrong."

"..." Prince Bei fell silent, but then he blurted out in confusion, "Mother?"

Previously, in his efforts to find a cure for Miss Su's leg, he had sent people to search for Divine Physician Ji for several months, but to no avail. He thought Divine Physician Ji had already met with misfortune. Who would have thought she would suddenly appear now, and even turn out to be Miss Su's own mother?

This world is truly unbelievable! Was he really not in a dream?

Su Youyue wasn't actually unwilling to give Prince Bei the antidote now, but her mother had only brought enough antidote for three doses. After sending one dose to Princess Pingyang, she had rushed straight to Xie Yuan.

"So, Your Highness, isn't my daughter adorable?" Lu Xixue said with pride. Her daughter was stunning!

Prince Bei nodded again.

She was truly beautiful.

And he really liked her.

Unfortunately, she didn't like him back.

Seeing the couple over there, Prince Bei silently walked over to Emperor Xuanming's side. "Brother, how are you feeling now? Any better?"

Then he turned to Lu Xixue. "Divine Physician Ji, my brother has already vomited blood several times. Is one dose of the antidote enough? Could you take another look at him?"

Lu Xixue nodded. "Of course, I'll take a look. But, Your Majesty, I don't mean to criticize you, but you're not exactly young anymore. You should take better care of your health."

"I'm fine, but Xiao is still in danger!" Emperor Xuanming had just taken the medicine and hadn't yet fully recovered. He was still frowning tightly.

Lu Xixue rolled her eyes. "You should worry more about yourself. On our way here, we ran into Xiaoyue. It seemed to be searching for medicine. I'd say there's a ninety percent chance Tuoba Xiao has already escaped."

"Really?" Emperor Xuanming asked excitedly.

Su Youyue also nodded at this. "Indeed, Your Majesty. The white wolf even came by to check on us. From its look, it didn't seem to be in a rush."

"Brother, you should go and rest now. When you wake up, you'll be able to see Xiao," Prince Bei quickly chimed in. "Those amateurs on the other side are no match for Tuoba Xiao. They must be trying to con us with the military seal!"

Finally managing to coax him back, Prince Bei felt like crying but couldn't. However, thinking that they could now truly use the antidote to threaten the Holy Sect, his mood improved considerably.

Su Youyue looked at Xie Yuan and said, "I forgot to mention earlier, those people in the Holy Sect have also been poisoned by the Holy Medicine. Now that we have the antidote, let's see what they can do."

"You poisoned them too?" Prince Bei twitched his mouth, then added, "Truly something only you two could pull off."

Su Youyue glanced at Xie Yuan, then couldn't help but smile. "We call this 'husband and wife, one mind.'"

Xie Yuan nodded in agreement.

Prince Bei also nodded helplessly. "Alright, alright, you two are 'husband and wife, one mind, their strength breaks gold.' Now that Tuoba Xiao is probably no longer in their hands, and my brother is no longer in mortal danger, can we go after the Holy Sect members?"

This time, they would wipe out those remnants once and for all!

From now on, Dongrong would be free of the Holy Sect!

Xie Yuan said coldly, "Whether Tuoba Xiao is in their hands or not doesn't matter. Chu Xiaozi and Shu Mo might be."

Su Youyue was surprised. "How could Chu Xiaozi and Shu Mo be in their hands?"

As they spoke, the shadow guards left at the Bai family also arrived, confirming the news.

"The Holy Sect members stormed the dungeon and rescued Shen Yuansong. Chu Xiaozi and Shu Mo accidentally encountered them and were also taken away. Hua Qingyun is on his way here."

"These Holy Sect members really deserve to die!" Su Youyue's usually calm eyes turned icy.

But as they were discussing, the Holy Sect members, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly launched an attack.

"Sir, my lady, get down! They have explosives!"

Just as Zhe Jing's voice came, Su Youyue felt herself being pulled into someone's arms, shielding her as they tumbled to the ground.

Immediately, the spot where they had just stood was blasted, sending a shower of dirt. The force of the explosion sent debris flying in all directions, heavily falling on them.
