Chapter 2252: Miao Jiang Youth Fiercely Loves 15

Red snake suddenly darted out from the grass, precisely biting Luo Xiao's natal gu.

Silver bell sound rang behind his ear, Luo Xiao snapped his head back, only to see Jin Chen leaning on a withered tree, shaking his silver bell chain, appearing like a forest ghost under the moon, silent and unseen, always waiting to reap lives.

How could you!

Aren't you in seclusion!

Luo Xiao's whole body went numb; before his Miao dagger could strike, the boy had already vanished like mist, a few blue-winged butterflies fluttered past his eyes, and a bone-chilling cold suddenly struck his back.

Jin Chen appeared behind him again, drawing his silver blade.

Luo Xiao staggered, spitting a mouthful of fresh blood.

He backhandedly swung his blade, but the edge only cut through a few wisps of drifting red smoke.

Jin Chen sneered, his voice sounding behind him, full of mockery.

Healthy person, your blade is slower than an eighty-year-old from Miao Jiang.

Luo Xiao: ""

Bai Mo lay collapsed in the rock crevice, watching helplessly as Luo Xiao grabbed his collar and fled; he was in so much pain his consciousness faded, and the last thing he saw was Jin Chen tilting his head to size up Nan Yixiang.

Jin Chen stepped in the blood pool, the silver bell chimed softly with his tilted head, his violet pupils glowing with an eerie light.

"Older brother, you're disobedient."

The night wind lifted Nan Yixiang's scattered strands, a few sticking to his blood-stained lips.

Jin Chen didn't brush them away, just stared, his pupils dilating slightly in the dark as if trying to suck him in.

The dagger at his fingertip still dripped blood, yet he used it to lift Nan Yixiang's chin without concern.

"Didn't you promise not to run around?"

Under the moonlight, Nan Yixiang's whole body took on an unnatural pallor, only the blood on his lips striking vividly.

In response to Jin Chen, Nan Yixiang, too weak to stand, collapsed into his embrace.

Jin Chen wrapped his arms around Nan Yixiang's waist, bent his forefinger to wipe the blood from his lips, saying, "Older brother, you need detox now, but you…"

Nan Yixiang's consciousness blurred; instinctively he choked Jin Chen's throat, thinking he used seventy percent strength, but his wrist trembled uselessly.

"Detox… give me detox, Jin Chen."

"Alright, don't worry."

Jin Chen lowered his head, holding him tighter.

Nan Yixiang's strength in his hand gradually eased; just before his consciousness faded, he felt a kiss land on his lips.

Jin Chen looked at the person fainted in his arms, gave a soft hum, then bit a few times as if venting anger.

As expected, not keeping an eye on him, the wife just won't be obedient!

——

When Nan Yixiang opened his eyes, the back of his neck still felt numb and sore, his lips tingling.

His fingertip unconsciously brushed his lip, feeling a tiny split that throbbed faintly.

He would recall the soft touch before fainting, tinged with a hint of ruthlessness.

Nan Yixiang stared, then looked up at Jin Chen beside him.

Jin Chen propped his chin on his hand, violet eyes reflecting the campfire; seeing Nan Yixiang awake, he leaned in, thumb brushing the wound on his lip.

"Still hurt?" he asked lightly, with no guilt.

"You bit me?"

Nan Yixiang's voice still held the husk of just waking.

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, "Who else could say that?"

He deliberately pressed on the wound; seeing Nan Yixiang frown, he grew dissatisfied, "What, not allowed? I haven't settled accounts with you yet."

Nan Yixiang fell silent for a moment.

"... My blood carries deadly poison."

Jin Chen's pupils contracted, "Ah?"

【Oh dear】

Red Snake Gu darted from his sleeve, anxiously circling his wrist.

Nan Yixiang looked at him and nodded.

Jin Chen gritted his teeth, "Why didn't you say sooner?"

Nan Yixiang, dizzy from being shaken, helplessly gripped his wrist, "You didn't ask… no, I'm telling you what to do."

Jin Chen touched his own lip, sighed softly, "What now? I'm probably poisoned to the bone."

Nan Yixiang: ""

He slightly awkwardly turned his head, took a pill from his sleeve and gave it to Jin Chen.

Jin Chen lifted his eyes, sucked the pill from Nan Yixiang's hand into his mouth, and swallowed.

"Has Luo Xiao's gu been cleared?" Nan Yixiang asked, then pulled Jin Chen's wrist, fingertips resting on his pulse to probe how deep the toxin went.

Jin Chen nodded, wanting to say more, "It's cleared."

Nan Yixiang frowned, "You have something to say."

"I discovered your secret," Jin Chen said softly, returning the wooden box to Nan Yixiang, adding, "It fell from your clothes; I didn't peek on purpose."

At most, I just happened to see a worm inside.

Jin Chen's arm wrapped around Nan Yixiang's waist, he whispered in his ear, "Older brother, you want to use the child gu to find the mother gu, right? But this child gu is almost dead."

"Beg me, and I'll keep it alive."

The child gu had been punctured; even if Nan Yixiang was a bit annoyed, there was nothing to hide.

What he couldn't see through was Jin Chen's attitude.

Nan Yixing couldn't help but look at Jin Chen strangely.

Isn't it said that the people inside the stronghold use Gu insects on outsiders and even try to find Gu insects in the Forbidden Land, which is full of taboos?

How can Jin Chen be so candid?

Nan Yixing hesitated, "Yes, but the Mother Gu I'm looking for is in the Forbidden Land."

Jin Chen: "Good."

Nan Yixing: "……?"

Nan Yixing instead felt it wasn't so good.

He didn't understand, yet solemnly said, "You're the young master, Jin Chen; you wouldn't let me enter the Forbidden Land, so stop trying to fool me."

Jin Chen lifted his eyes, his clear eyes full of dissatisfaction, "You didn't even ask, how do you know I won't allow it?"

However, sneaking into the Forbidden Land is dangerous; once I become the Holy Son, I'll take you to the Forbidden Land to find the Mother Gu.

Nan Yixing fell into a long silence.

He thought that Jin Chen, as the young master, was truly incompetent.

But on the other hand, he couldn't help wondering whether Jin Chen's easy talk hid some ulterior motive.

Just as when he first approached Jin Chen.

Jin Chen, however, seemed able to see Nan Yixing's thoughts, denying, "I don't just bring anyone into the Forbidden Land."

Nor would I give just anyone a silver bracelet.

Speaking of this, Nan Yixing's thoughts were briefly diverted; he unconsciously lifted his wrist, recalling how last night Luo Xiao's Gu insect had just burrowed into the back of his neck, the excruciating pain almost unbearable, which had been dispersed by the suddenly scorching hot silver bracelet.

This bracelet... is indeed miraculous.

A flash of inspiration struck Nan Yixing's mind as he looked at the monstrous-looking boy before him; he exclaimed in surprise, "The bracelet lets you know where I am."

Firelight cast mottled shadows across half of Jin Chen's face; the corner of his mouth lifted slightly, not a smile, but resembling the pose of a venomous snake about to spit its tongue.

No.

Even without the bracelet, I can always know where my older brother is, so don't think about running away.

Nan Yixing choked, "Why?"

Jin Chen, however, shifted his gaze and easily took control of the topic, "Brother, this bracelet is the only one; it can save your life, so don't lose it."

He leaned on Nan Yixing's shoulder and pointed at the Gu urn, "Once the Gu insects are cultivated, we should leave Broken Dragon Cliff."

Tomorrow is the seventh day.
