Feng Ling was caught completely off guard, only seeing a dark shadow flash before her eyes.
Her neck was instantly seized, and no more air could enter her chest.
Her breathing was about to stop.
But she felt no panic, merely looking calmly at the man before her, saying nothing.
"What is the connection between Medicine Man Valley and her? Speak!" Feng Ye Xuan's eyes were filled with rage!
Feng Ling opened her mouth. Although she couldn't breathe, she could still speak with difficulty.
She rasped, "Your Highness... you know it's impossible for me to say... what do you want to ask... why don't you ask the Venerable Master?"
His expression turned grim, and his fingers tightened.
A mist formed in Feng Ling's eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let tears fall. Even though she was struggling to breathe and her face had turned a deep purplish-red.
Feng Ye Xuan's gaze darkened, the force of his fingers not easing.
Feng Ling still did not beg for mercy. Despite her fear, her stubbornness remained...
In Feng Ye Xuan's mind, a certain face flashed again.
In that instant, he let go.
The moment Li'er's face appeared in his mind, he found himself unable to go through with it.
Why, recently, whenever he looked at Feng Ling, he would inevitably think of Li'er?
He turned and left.
Feng Ling bent over, gasping for air.
His actions just now had been ruthless.
If he hadn't suddenly let go at the last moment, her life would likely have ended completely.
In truth, if it had been even a moment later, she probably wouldn't have been able to maintain the calm expression on her face.
Fortunately, he had let go.
She glanced back again; the valley was engulfed in raging flames.
She withdrew her gaze, still hobbling step by step, following behind him...
...
Feng Ding Chu placed Chu Qian Li on the ground, his hands on her back, continuing to channel his internal energy to heal her.
The palm strike she had exchanged with Feng Ye Xuan earlier had caused her internal injuries. Coupled with being hypnotized by Feng Ling's illusionary techniques, her vital energy had been severely depleted, causing her to go berserk when her blood churned.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the surge of true qi within her, which had threatened to burst from her body, was suppressed.
If there hadn't been a powerful expert nearby to suppress it in time, her life would have been in constant peril.
Having such a powerful force within her body should have been a good thing, but she couldn't completely control it. This good thing had turned into a bad thing.
The next time she lost control and went berserk, if there was no expert to protect her heart meridian and suppress that true qi, it was highly likely that the true qi would claim her life.
Therefore, whether this true qi was a blessing or a curse remained unknown for the time being.
After an unknown amount of time, the surge of true qi was finally completely suppressed by Feng Ding Chu, and Chu Qian Li transitioned from a state of unconsciousness to deep sleep.
With the true qi suppressed, her own stamina was also completely exhausted, and she was now sleeping soundly. m..oΓg
However, she still seemed somewhat unsettled.
Her slightly trembling thin lips occasionally murmured a few words: "...She's... a bad person, why... don't you believe me?"
Feng Ding Chu sighed softly and silently.
He had no experience with matters of love and didn't know what these young people's romances felt like.
They cared for each other, yet couldn't be together, only trying to deceive themselves, telling themselves that everything was in the past.
In reality, an outsider could see things more clearly.
As Feng Ding Chu gently placed Chu Qian Li down, the girl inadvertently clung to his leg, resting her head on it and sleeping soundly.
It seemed that this way, she felt a sense of security.
Feng Ding Chu had initially intended to push her away, but then he thought, she was just a child.
So, he took off his outer robe and covered her with it, not wanting to disturb her rest.
The sky was nearing dawn.
Looking up at the horizon in the distance, he felt a sense of melancholy.
He had originally intended to leave and no longer involve himself in the affairs of the royal family.
But the true qi within little Li'er was still wild and powerful. If he left, who would save her the next time she went berserk?
