Chapter 231: Meeting from a Thousand Miles Away
"I’m fine!"
Her wound continued to bleed, but luckily it wasn’t an arrow through her heart.
Yāo’s vitality was strong, and she wouldn’t die so easily.
The arrow was also laced with a poison, causing her whole body to lose temperature, making her limbs numb, and her blood flow almost stagnant.
Enduring the intense pain, she pulled out the arrow, causing a second injury with the barb. Surprisingly, the pain made her mind clearer.
"Go south," she said.
Dundun dared not look back, and could only continue to run frantically forward, onward.
…
"Hit."
On a telegraph pole, stood two figures, both scouts of the Blue Wing Society, also assassins and killers of the Blue Wing Society. They didn’t have much difference in essence, all being at the mercy of others, fighting alone in a foreign land.
"Laced with poison, she won’t live long even if she’s hit. Leaving her alone will also result in her death."
"Which arrow did you use this time from the four arrows?"
"The most vicious one."
"Corrosion?"
"No, it’s Soul Devouring. The soul is damaged, and bit by bit, one’s self is lost until eventually becoming a walking corpse."
"I think the rotting from the inside out is even more terrifying."
"But the superiors want us to bring the body back. This Lord Bai Ze might still have a use. Perhaps it could be the final straw to open the gates of Yunmeng City."
"Lord Bai Ze held on for three months, but I’m afraid they can’t hold on any longer."
"Hmph, we’re just pawns. Why bother with domestic affairs? Just focus on getting the job done. If you can’t even handle the small things, then you’re useless."
"Feathered Bird, hey, I don’t dislike that guy. It’s a pity that he’s just a scout, not a killer. Not ruthless enough."
"Should we pursue?"
"Let’s wait for a moment. She’s severely injured and won’t get far. Let’s follow and see if we can uncover anything."
"I still have three feathered arrows left, which can kill at most three people."
"You’re quite particular."
…
She crawled onto Dundun’s back, the poison seeping into her body. She now felt her strength draining away, but she wasn’t sure which kind of poison she had been exposed to.
Her mind was foggy, her body cold, and her limbs numb. Yet, she didn’t feel any pain, even the sensation of pain was fading away.
She bit her fingers several times to keep herself awake, but she noticed that her fingers were losing sensation.
Without sensation, she didn’t know how to move. Soon, half of her palm, and then her entire palm, had lost all feeling.
She felt like this hand was no longer hers, as the nerve signals ceased to transmit.
Although she didn’t know what kind of poison it was, death was already beckoning to her.
As the poison invaded her organs, her life functions would begin to stagnate. She was clearly a young woman, yet she would die like an elderly person reaching the end of their life.
"Dundun …"
"If I die…"
"Then you don’t need to go back anymore."
She only managed to say this sentence before losing consciousness, hearing Dundun’s cry before slipping away.
Even though it’s such an old panda, why does it cry like a child?
You guys, you’re all a group of little ones who can’t grow up no matter how old you are.
Dundun held the unconscious Miss, at a loss for what to do as her body temperature continued to drop, and it didn’t even know what to do.
Everything in the past was arranged by the Miss, it’s good enough for it to just listen.
Dundun has been a retainer of Bai Ze for generations, without any ambitions for fame and fortune, just wanting to live a peaceful life. Most of the monsters living under Bai Ze are like this, eating meat when they have spare money, and eating grass when they’re struggling. They work hard to turn the wasteland into a city engaged in foreign trade, gradually transforming from a remote place into the first trade-oriented small country that attracts foreign investment in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
The people in the territory all adore Bai Ze, and Dundun also adores the Miss. Since childhood, it has been running in the wilderness while carrying the Miss, passing through every corner of Yunmeng City.
It’s not smart, but the Miss is smart. So, it usually just guards the gate, eats and drinks, and then listens to the Miss’s orders. Whether it understands or not, as long as the Miss is wise, it’s fine. But now the Miss has fallen.
Dundun lost its backbone and realized that maybe it was not the Miss who was being protected, but itself. It is so stupid and lazy to use its brain. If it weren’t for the Miss always taking care of it, who else could protect it? But the Miss also gets tired, gets injured, and makes mistakes. She’s only twenty years old. It’s just a loyal subordinate and can’t be her support.
Cats and dogs can heal people’s souls, but they cannot become someone’s pillar.
Dundun cried, not only because it felt it couldn’t protect the Miss well, but also because it felt a profound sense of powerlessness and self-blame.
It felt it was too useless, always relying on the Miss. Without her, it turned into a stupid waste.
What should be done?
It’s in complete chaos now, and it has no idea what to do.
The idiot racked its brains to think, crying and slapping itself hard to wake up, swallowing the sorrow and weakness that hadn’t had a chance to be cried out. It exerted too much force and even knocked out its own tooth, leaving a mouthful of bloody taste.
Yingzhou people are unreliable. What it thought of was Jin Yi Wei, but it couldn’t get through to Jin Yi Wei’s phone.
Phone, yes, the phone…
The man from the Ming Country, find the man from the Ming Country for help.
It carried the Miss on its back and ran towards a certain direction.
…
Without knocking on the door, it almost sprinted all the way here. Fortunately, Kobunacho is old Edo. If it were the new Tokyo, it wouldn’t know how many red lights it had run through.
A panda this big can’t hide even if it wants to.
Dundun stumbled and fell onto the grass, creating a pit upon impact. The two to three-meter-high wall was like a hurdle for him.
The commotion was not small, even Yagyū Simozi, who was listening to music while doing homework, heard the sound of the doors and windows shaking.
Bai Wei was boredly watching TV when he heard the commotion and immediately looked towards the courtyard.
Instead of being surprised, he was rather puzzled.
Looks like the delivery has come right to the doorstep.
The description is quite accurate. Even though I didn’t do anything, trouble and exclamation points came to me on their own, and this exclamation point…
Oh! A purple exclamation point! It’s actually the same level as Jingūji and Oreimo?
"Are you trying to steal another late-night snack?" Bai Wei joked as he got up, but soon caught a whiff of blood. "Who’s behind you?"
Dundun couldn’t hear anything, he just approached and carefully set down the young lady.
"Please, I beg you, save the young lady."
It couldn’t help but burst into tears, wiping its eyes with its paw. "Mr. Bai, I beg you, please save the young miss…"
The giant panda sat on the ground, feeling helpless.
"I… I don’t want to trouble you, but I really don’t know what to do."
"In a foreign land, I have nowhere else to go. The officials in Yingzhou are still searching for us, and the embassy is the same."
"The young miss is injured, she’s not doing well. I… I…"
Bai Wei walked over, looked at Dundun who had become a tearful mess, and reached out to pat its head.
"Stop!"
Dundun abruptly stopped and stared over without panting.
Bai Wei said another word.
"Good."
The panda couldn’t help but want to cry again. How could there be such a good person in this world? I should have a little panda and raise it at your house.
Bai Wei horizontally carried the unconscious young woman, her hoodie hood slipping off, revealing her cascading emerald green hair on her shoulders.
The young man was slightly taken aback, as he saw her face clearly under the moonlight and the lamplight, exactly matching what he had seen in the previous files.
Chao Lu… Princess?
Did she drift to Yingzhou because of the shipwreck in Hainan?
Bai Wei’s face turned serious. This was originally good news, but Chao Lu’s condition was very bad at the moment.
[Soul Exhaustion][Weapon Poison: Soul Devouring]
The two lines indicated that her soul could wither and die at any moment. The poisonous weapon, Soul Devouring, needed to be removed as soon as possible, or a joyous occasion would turn into a tragedy.
After knowing her identity, it was even more imperative not to let her die here.
Bai Wei couldn’t help but think what a coincidence it was. Princess Chao Lu was here, and she even possessed a purple exclamation point. Fate that couldn’t be avoided.
Truly, it was a fate to meet from a thousand miles away.
