Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 209

“Phoenix Fourteen…” Phoenix Five and Phoenix Thirteen were startled to see that. They wanted to rush forward but couldn’t go there at all. They could only strive to kill the Flying Green Tendrils in front of them.

Hearing Phoenix Five and Phoenix Thirteen’s cries and feeling Fourteen falling slowly, Yu Ying turned to catch Phoenix Fourteen abruptly and held her into his arms.

Yu Ying stared at Flying Green Tendrils in front of him like a starving wolf, his red eyes full of resentment. He held Phoenix Fourteen tightly and raised his sword to slash at the Flying Green Tendrils desperately.

Currently, Yu Ying couldn’t deal with the attacks from the front and the back at all. All he knew was to fight desperately. The Flying Green Tendrils he saw were all killed by him. Very quickly, he and Phoenix Fourteen were both stained with blood. Duanmu Xi was also anxious to see Yu Ying fighting like this and Phoenix Fourteen who was unconscious. She looked at the biggest Flying Green Tendril in the tree, her dark purple eyes flashing with a shimmer of resentment.

“Colorful Spiritual Wand!” Duanmu Xi summoned. Instantly, a golden spiritual wand that sparkled with colorful lights appeared in front of Duanmu Xi from nowhere.

“Divine thunder!” Duanmu Xi grabbed the spiritual wand and struck a series of purple spherical lightning at the Flying Green Tendril in the tree.

“Bang!” Duanmu Xi shouted. Instantly, the Flying Green Tendril was blasted into ashes by the purple spherical lightning.

As the Flying Green Tendril in the tree was killed, the other Flying Green Tendrils just stopped attacking. They either died or fled.

Everyone ran to Yu Ying and Phoenix Fourteen. Duanmu Xi also ran over there with a worried look.

Now that the crisis had been lifted, the secret guards in black also disappeared from the jungle with one bound.

Yu Ying patted Phoenix Fourteen’s face tremblingly, “Fourteen… Wake up… Don’t scare me…”

His hoarse voice was quivering. The others all couldn’t help feeling sorry for him.

Phoenix Fourteen felt as if falling into an endless abyss, where there was no end or light but whistling wind. She could faintly feel that someone was calling her.

Who was it? Whose voice was so sorrowful that her heart couldn’t help aching.

No matter how Yu Ying cried, there was no sign showing that Phoenix Four would wake up. The others were all anxious to see Phoenix Fourteen’s lifeless look.

“Let me take a look at her.”

Hearing that, everyone immediately made way for Situ Kong.

Yu Ying looked at Situ Kong, his dark eyes full of imploring, “Elder Situ, please save her.”

Situ Kong nodded, crouched down, and lifted Phoenix Fourteen’s eyelids. Then, he grabbed Phoenix Fourteen’s arm and ripped off her sleeve to observe the bite.

Seeing that the fair arm turned dark purple now and that the four bites were bleeding with black blood, Yu Ying felt pain as if his heart were squeezed by someone.

“What’s wrong?” Yu Ying’s voice was very gentle but he had used up all his strength.

Situ Kong put on a stern look, “Her condition is very serious. Luckily, she has pointed at her acupoints to keep the poisonous blood from spreading.”

If she didn’t point at her acupoints in time and the venomous blood flowed into her meridians, she would be dead for sure.

Yu Ying stroked Phoenix Fourteen’s face and felt self-condemned. It was all her fault. If it weren’t for saving him, how could she become like this?

“Flying Green Tendril’s venom is quite special. My Alexipharmic Pill can’t dispel the venom. Now, the only solution is to bleed her. No matter what, the poisonous blood must be let out first.” Situ Kong took out a dagger from his arms.

“Wait.” Yu Ying grabbed Situ Kong’s hand to stop the dagger, “Let me do it.” He didn’t want her to be wounded anymore, even if it was a small cut.

Then, Yu Ying grabbed Phoenix Fourteen’s arm and wanted to press his lips against the bite.

“Are you crazy? You’d be poisoned if you did that.” Situ Kong seized Yu Ying’s arm and stopped the latter from sucking out the poisonous blood.

“If she can’t survive, I won’t live alone.” Yu Ying’s voice was very low. He seemed to be explaining and muttering to himself.

Yu Ying waved away Situ Kong’s hand. Then, he directly pressed his lips against Phoenix Fourteen’s bite to suck out the poisonous blood.

Situ Kong had mixed feelings about seeing Yu Ying who was sucking out the poisonous blood desperately. Actually, it was better to suck through the mouth rather than cut the bite. Yet, in that way, Yu Ying would be likely to be poisoned.

He had been single all his life and had never fallen for anyone. Perhaps that was why he couldn’t understand Yu Ying’s behaviors. However, although he didn’t understand it, he admired Yu Ying’s courage.

Duanmu Xi was touched to look at Yu Ying. Unexpectedly, Yu Ying and Phoenix Fourteen were so intimate. Perhaps because they were both sentimental, they would be willing to sacrifice their lives for each other within such a short time.

Not only Situ Kong and Duanmu Xi but also the others present were moved. Long Yue’s eyes slightly glistened. If the same thing happened to Phoenix Five, he would do the same thing as Yu Ying did.

He held Phoenix Five’s hand secretly. This was the first time he had held her hand. Her hand wasn’t very soft and her palm had lots of calluses but her hand was a lot smaller than his.

Phoenix Five didn’t shake off Long Yue’s hand. Instead, she clenched Long Yue’s hand with a backhand.

As to Phoenix Five’s reaction, Long Yue didn’t resist but let her hold his hand. After all, he was in love with a woman of the Zhuque Empire.

Two hours had passed. Yu Ying’s lips had turned dark purple but the blood he sucked out from the bite was still dark red. Currently, Phoenix Fourteen’s face had turned pale. Even her lips became pale too.

Situ Kong sealed Phoenix Fourteen’s several major acupoints to stop the poisonous blood from flowing reversely.

As time went by, no matter how hard Yu Ying worked, Phoenix Fourteen’s poisonous blood still couldn’t be fully eliminated.

All the others aside looked stern and anxious.

With a frown, Situ Kong grabbed Phoenix Fourteen and started to take her pulse. As time went by, he knitted his eyebrows more heavily.

A while later, Situ Kong put down Phoenix Fourteen’s wrist and looked at Yu Ying who was still busy sucking out the poisonous blood. With a frown, he said, “OK. Stop sucking.”

It seemed that Yu Ying hadn’t heard Situ Kong’s words. He was still sucking out the poisonous blood seriously.

Situ Kong looked at Phoenix Fourteen’s paler face and had his heart in his mouth. He directly pushed Yu Ying away, “I asked you to stop sucking. If you go on, she’ll die.”

An excessive loss of blood would cause death. It had been more than two hours. Her poisonous blood hadn’t been fully eliminated. It seemed that the poisonous blood couldn’t be eliminated unless all her blood was sucked up. However, if all her blood was sucked up, she would be dead too.

Hearing that, Yu Ying sat on the ground in dejection and stroked Phoenix Fourteen’s pale face shiveringly, “Wake up… Could you stop sleeping… Didn’t you say you would be responsible for me… Do you want to go back on your word…”

His trembling and sobbing voice made all the people present’s eyes red.

Situ Kong also felt sad about Yu Ying’s sorrowful face. He took a glance at Phoenix Fourteen who was lifeless on the ground. His eyes glistened with a shimmer of determination, “I have a way to save her but…”

Yu Ying suddenly jerked up his head and looked at Situ Kong with expectation as if catching the last life-saving straw, “What solution? Do you need any herbs? Just tell me. No matter how difficult it is to get, I’ll get it for you.”

Seeing Yu Ying’s expectant eyes, Situ Kong felt even sadder and then shook his head, “Not about the herbs.”

Situ Kong didn’t finish his words because he couldn’t bear to.

Yu Ying stared at Situ Kong’s glittering eyes and his heart sank. He didn’t dare to ask what on earth the solution was.

As Situ Kong and Yu Ying both stayed quiet, Duanmu Xi asked with a frown, “Is the solution to amputate her arm?”

All the others were astonished to look at Duanmu Xi. Yu Ying felt such a serious heartache that even breathing would make him painful.

Situ Kong didn’t expect that Duanmu Xi would know this solution. He asked in surprise, “Xi, how do you know the solution?”

Duanmu Xi’s eyes slightly flashed. Maybe amputation was quite rare in the Hantian Continent. It was not common in modern times but never rare. The ancient people always said that one’s body was given by his parents. Amputation would be an unfilial behavior for ancient people. No wonder Chief Master had a bone in his throat.

“I learned it from the medical book.” According to Fourteen’s current situation, she could only be amputated.

Yu Ying stayed quiet for a while and finally looked at Situ Kong, saying, “Is it the only solution?”

Hearing that, Situ Kong stared at Phoenix Fourteen, his eyes full of regret, “Yes, given her current situation, cutting off her left arm is the only way to keep her alive.”

Yu Ying clenched his fists. Currently, he hated himself so much and even wanted to stab himself. If it weren’t for saving his life, how could her arm have to be amputated?

“Besides, it has to be done as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would be really dead if the poisonous blood spread all over her body.” Situ Kong hated to say that but he still told the truth. Her arm had better be amputated as soon as possible.

Yu Ying looked at Situ Kong and said with a determined expression, “I only want her to survive. I don’t care about the others.” He just wanted to save her life, whatever it took, even if she would hate him after coming around.

Situ Kong nodded. Yu Ying’s decision was within his expectation. After all, an arm couldn’t compare with her life.

Yu Ying carried Phoenix Fourteen in his arms and walked to Duanmu Xi. He knelt on the ground, “Your Highness, I want to marry Phoenix Fourteen. Please grant my request.”

Duanmu Xi stared at Yu Ying and Fourteen in front of her. Her dark purple eyes instantly became teary. She slightly raised her head to keep tears from rolling down, “Get up. When we’re back to the Baihu Empire, I’ll hold the wedding for you.”

Duanmu Xi bent down to help Yu Ying up.

Phoenix Fourteen in a coma also seemed to have heard Duanmu Xi’s words. A tear rolled down her cheeks.

Seeing the scene, everyone felt sad and happy for the couple.
