Chapter 14

In the endless wilderness, dozens of vehicles pulled by monsters moved forward at high speed.

Behind the monster car are thousands of cultivators riding on the backs of the hurricane beasts. The monsters galloped, their hooves splashed with smoke and dust. The practitioners on the backs of the monsters were as stable as a rock, undisturbed by the surrounding gusts of wind.

"Cough cough cough..."

In the monster cars that were speeding away, a faint coughing sound was heard from time to time in one of the monster cars, which soon dissipated in the whistling wind.

Practitioners have clear ears and eyesight, and even though the surrounding wind is howling, they can still clearly hear the coughing sound scattered in the wind.

Intermittent, like the sound of coughing up blood from a long-sick person, it teaches people to care a little bit.

"Are you all right?"

Ning Yuzhou gently patted the back of the person in his arms, feeling that the thin back was tense due to coughing, and he could not help frowning slightly.

This time, the cough seemed to be quite severe. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief. At the end of her cough, she spit out a mouthful of blood. The white handkerchief was particularly eye-catching.

Wen Qiao leaned in his arms with a sullen expression, her internal organs were burning like fire, and the pain like needles and veins consumed all her energy, so that she didn't notice her posture at this time.

"Open your mouth." Ning Yuzhou said.

Wen Qiao opened her mouth, and a spirit pill was fed into her mouth. The spirit pill melted in the mouth and turned into a spirit concoction that slid down her throat. The tense heartstrings loosened a lot.

After relaxing, the spirit became more and more drowsy.

Ning Yuzhou patted her and said softly, "Go to sleep, with me."

The gentle and warm voice was like a wisp of spring breeze blowing past the willows, slightly wrinkling a pool of spring water, which actually taught people to unwittingly relax their tense nerves.

Wen Qiao leaned into his arms and fell asleep.

It's just that her body may be really uncomfortable, and even if she fell asleep, her brows were still furrowed.

Ning Yuzhou looked down at the person in his arms, his eyes slowly gliding over her delicate facial features, perhaps it had happened once before, with a pale complexion with a hint of blue, leaning against his thin body, extraordinarily petite and weak , can hardly feel the slightest weight, and even the breath is so weak that it is almost impossible to feel it.

After looking at it for a while, Ning Yuzhou gently took out the blood-stained handkerchief in her palm and looked at it, then took her wrist and pressed the pulp of her finger on the pulse to check her pulse.

He lowered his eyes and gently lowered her wrist after a long while.

In the monster car not far away, the fifth prince Ning Pingzhou took his seat quietly.

Even on the road, many cultivators will not relax themselves and regard it as a way of cultivation, buying time to practice and sit down.

Nine princesses Ning Yaozhu and Ning Pingzhou ride in the same car.

Ning Yaozhu pouted slightly when she heard coughing sounds from the monster car not far away from time to time throughout the day.

"Since he's a sick man, why don't he stay in the city and be a rich and noble idler, so what are you doing here?" Ning Yaozhu really couldn't understand the behavior of the couple, and was very disdainful, "I thought there was only one person here this time. Ordinary people who can’t cultivate, I didn’t expect to bring another sick person, don’t they want us to protect them?”

Ning Pingzhou opened his eyes and said lightly, "The Qian Scale Guards will protect them."

"No matter how powerful the Qian Linwei is, there are limits. Don't forget where Lintai Hunting Valley is!"

Lintai Hunting Valley is a secret realm located in Lintai Mountain in the northwest of Dongling Kingdom. Its origin is no longer known. Every three years in the middle of May, when heavy fog covers the entire Lintai Mountain, a bright light appears in Lintai Hunting Valley. The secret realm of Taihunting Valley is open to the public for one month. After a month, the fog in Lintai Mountain dissipated, and Lintai Hunting Valley was also closed.

Nowadays, Lintai Hunting Valley is controlled by the royal family Ning of Dongling Kingdom and several great families, and it has become the occasion for young cultivators of Dongling Kingdom to experience. can go in.

After so many years, Lintai Hunting Valley has been explored countless times by practitioners of Dongling Kingdom, but because the environment of Lintai Hunting Valley changes every three years, there is enough time to recuperate and the resources in it are barely enough. The various forces of the Ling Kingdom regard it as a training ground for the young disciples of various families.

Because the environment of Lintai Hunting Valley changes every three years, and there are no rules to speak of, the danger is immeasurable. Occasionally, you can even encounter monsters of the fifth and sixth orders. For these young cultivators, it is enough to die. .

Ning Pingzhou looked indifferent, Ning Yuzhou wanted to go, Emperor Cheng Hao also allowed it, what happened to him was none of their business.

Ning Yaozhu didn't have the kindness of her brother, and she was still indignant. She felt that Ning Yuzhou would always try to find trouble for others. Since she is a mortal who can't cultivate, she should have self-knowledge. Isn't it good to stay in the imperial city? I don't have any ability, and in the end, I have to send Ning's well-trained Qian Linwei to specially protect the couple. It's just nothing to do.

The coughing sound in the air was exhausted, and it did not sound again for a long time.

Ning Yaozhu couldn't help but said, "It seemed like I had a bad cough just now, wouldn't it be death from coughing?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ning Pingzhou reprimanded, changing the subject, "I heard that our third brother will also go to Lintai Hunting Valley this time."

Ning Yaozhu was surprised: "He came out of retreat? Why didn't you see him when you set out earlier?"

"He didn't set out with us, he came directly after exiting the customs."

Speaking of the third prince Ning Zhezhou, Ning Pingzhou's indifferent expression finally fluctuated a bit, and Ning Yaozhu also became serious.

The third prince, Ning Zhezhou, is the most talented cultivator in the younger generation of the Ning family, and his cultivation speed is also extremely fast. This year, when Lintai Hunting Valley opened, he led the disciples of the Ning family to practice.

Although the talent of the fifth prince Ning Pingzhou is good, he is always overwhelmed by the third prince. Although they are all disciples of the Ning family, the competition within the family is also very fierce. Ning Pingzhou also regards the third prince as a target that must be surpassed.

This time, Ning Pingzhou was supposed to lead Ning's disciples to practice, but who knew that Ning Zhezhou happened to be out of the customs, Emperor Chenghao decided to lead the team by Ning Zhezhou, and Ning Yaozhu was immediately very unhappy.

It wasn't until the night when they set up camp to rest, seeing Wen Mei in the Wen family's twin sisters, Ning Yaozhu pursed her lips, her face a little obscure.

Wen Mei is Ning Zhezhou's fiancee. It is said that if the two of them can form a dual cultivator couple in the future, the road of cultivation will be more effective.

Wen Xian came over and said with a smile, "Ajiu, is your Ning family led by His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince this time?"

It really is that which pot can't be opened and lifted, Ning Yaozhu was slightly angry, and her tone became a bit stiff, "I don't know, it might be the third brother."

Wen Xian was astonished, and felt a little bit of taste in her heart, "So it's His Royal Highness the Third Prince, he's out of the customs?"

"yes."

"I don't know what his current cultivation is like? He used to..."

Ning Yaozhu interrupted her and said sternly, "You came to me specifically to talk about the third brother?"

Wen Xian didn't know that the little princess of Ning's was angry. She still wanted to befriend Ning Yaozhu, so she didn't want to make her angry, so she hurriedly said, "No, I'm here to look for you, by the way to see my third sister, I seem to hear her coughing badly today."

Ning Yaozhu snorted coldly, whether it was Ning Zhezhou or Ning Yuzhou, she didn't like it. Likewise, the Wen sisters, who were related to them, naturally didn't like it either.

Immediately, he rolled his sleeves and left.

Wen Xian didn't know who provoked the little princess of Ning's family. She didn't want to have a relationship with her. At the moment, she didn't want to go to Wen Qiao. Instead, she caught up with Ning Yaozhu.

When Wen Qiao woke up, it was already night, and the traveling team also took the opportunity to camp and rest.

She looked around and found that she was sleeping in a tent with a soft blanket under her body. She sank into the warm mattress and couldn't feel the coldness of the wild night.

Ning Yuzhou sat sideways, flipping through a book in her hand. When she woke up, she noticed it right away.

"Are you hungry?" Ning Yuzhou asked, pouring a cup of elixir tea and holding it to her lips.

When Wen Qiao woke up, he was still a little confused, so he drank the medicinal tea he fed him in such a confused way.

When he woke up, his face was a little red, he struggled to get up, and was about to say something when he saw Ning Yuzhou bring out the Lingmi porridge warmed in the food box and put her stomach.

"You slept for most of the day, eat something first, and continue to sleep later." Ning Yuzhou said, putting the food box on the small table beside him, took a spoon and handed it to her.

She was very hungry, but she had no appetite, but seeing Ning Yuzhou's appearance, she reluctantly responded and drank the porridge silently.

Wen Qiao didn't bring her intimate maid Lianyue over this time to Lintai Hunting Valley. After all, Lianyue is a mortal, so it's better to stay safe in the Seventh Prince's Mansion. So now there is no maid to wait on her, she needs to do everything by herself. Fortunately, Ning Yuzhou also takes care of her, but she is a little embarrassed by being taken care of by him too much.

Ning Yuzhou stared at her and said, "Your body..."

"The natural meridians are fragile, and the internal organs are infected with fire poison." Wen Qiao said calmly, these are also the diagnosis of the pharmacists.

Ning Yuzhou thought that in the blood stains on the handkerchief, the red-to-purple blood indeed seemed to be eroded by some kind of fire poison, but...

Wen Qiao had no appetite, and after reluctantly ate some, he threw away the spoon.

Ning Yuzhou handed another cup of spirit tea over to moisten her throat and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, continue to rest."

Wen Qiao was really lacking in energy. Every time the fire poison attacked, it would drain the small amount of anger in her body. She could only lie on the bed all day long, like a useless person who couldn't do anything, let alone practice.

Soon, she fell asleep again.

Ning Yuzhou sat beside her and guarded her, staring at her pale face thoughtfully.

The next day, before dawn, the troops continued to set off.

Wen Qiao was carried into the monster car in his sleep. Many people saw this scene. Although they didn't say it, the meaning revealed in their eyes was obvious.

Ning Yuzhou didn't care what the others thought, and after entering the monster car, he lowered the curtain to block all the sight outside.

On both sides of the monster car guarded by the hidden scale guards in black armor.

Wen Qiao slept very deeply, vaguely feeling that she was being moved, but she really couldn't open her eyes, she could only move with him, and soon fell asleep again.

After waking up from such a slumber, when Wen Qiao finally recovered his spirits, the large army had already arrived at Lintai Mountain.
