Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 781 - Escaping the Demonic Claw

Chapter 781 Escaping the Demonic Claw

The chill almost made Lin Mengya’s pretend facial expression collapse.

In this critical moment, for some reason, Wanyan Jing stopped his actions.

“Looks like your eye trick is still as effective as ever.”

It was not until Wanyan Jing withdrew the cold dagger that Lin Mengya realized that he was just testing her.

But she knew clearly that if she had made any mistake just now, the dagger would have taken her life without hesitation.

Having almost died, she had to admire the ability to stay calm, a quality that she had cultivated over the years.

“Of course. If I was useless, Your Highness would not recruit me at such a high price. Well, you can leave now. After you get back to Fengyu Court, you will forget what happened here.”

The dual-pupiled man used his charming voice to instruct Lin Mengya. She restrained herself from losing her patience and like a real puppet, she stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

There were people around, but Lin Mengya didn’t let her guard down.

She had always been cautious, especially after seeing that demonic dual-pupiled man. She wanted to continue acting to the end.

Before long, the gate of the Fengyu Court appeared in front of her.

Her body shook slightly, as if she had just woken up from a dream.

“That’s strange, why am I here?”

Lin Mengya furrowed her brows in puzzlement.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed several figures rushing to leave in a hurry.

It was fortunate that she had put on such a show, otherwise, she would have been removed by those figures.

She walked back to Fengyu Court calmly. It was a little quiet in the yard. It seemed that Madame Jingrou had not come back yet.

Lin Mengya straightened herself and pretended that everything was fine. It was not until she walked back to her room that her pretty face finally revealed some emotions, by which time it was drained of any color.

With a “bang”, Lin Mengya’s waist and legs softened and she collapsed to the ground.

If she hadn’t reacted quickly and had the help of the Shen Nung system, she would have fallen into the trap this time.

“Are... are you alright, Ma... Miss?”

An anxious Baisu jumped in from the window.

Behind her was Xiaoyu, who was also wearing a ghastly expression on his face.

Lifting her head with difficulty, Lin Mengya gasped for breath and shook her head.

“I’m... alright. Are you guys discovered?”

She knew that Eldest Prince would definitely look for her to ask questions, so Xiaoyu and Baisu had been secretly protecting her these days.

But this time, she didn’t expect that the Eldest Prince would play dirty tricks.

Xiaoyu and Baisu must have seen what had happened, but in order to avoid being discovered, they had agreed on a secret signal.

If she didn’t make the secret signal, it meant that she was safe.

However, the dual-pupiled man did not play by the rules and she did not even have time to get the signal off.

This time, she barely made it out alive.

“No, we didn’t get discovered. We’d been looking for you for a long time before we heard that you had come back to Fengyu Court. Sis, where have you been?”

Xiaoyu frowned. He wanted to follow his sister, but little did he expect that he got held up by something.

After dealing with it, he found that his sister was not in the Fengyu Court or the Linqiu Pavilion.

Even Baisu was missing. If he hadn’t received the news that his sister had come back a moment ago, he would have turned the palace upside down like crazy.

“You guys don’t know where I’ve been?”

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and thought it was absurd.

Baisu lowered her head and nodded dejectedly.

“What? My God!”

Lin Mengya rolled her eyes as she broke out in a cold sweat.

She thought at least Baisu was still by her side.

But she didn’t expect that she really was a lone hero just now.

“What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you not to leave my sister’s side?”

Xiaoyu’s heart skipped a beat at the sight of his elder sister, who was still in shock.

He knew better than anyone what kind of person Lin Mengya was.

Yet now, she was showing a look of relief. And from that alone, it wasn’t hard to imagine how dangerous the situation she had to face was.

He and Baisu were so useless.

“I... I saw a suspicious person hiding at the gate of Fengyu Court and keeping an eye on Miss. I thought he was going to do harm to Miss, so I followed him. It’s my fault. Please punish me, Young Master and Miss.”

Baisu immediately knelt on the ground, looking very regretful.

Xiaoyu was about to lose his temper, but was stopped by a look from Lin Mengya.

“Get up. Xiaoyu, stop blaming Baisu. I think, the Eldest Prince must have had something to do with it. Today, I witnessed how meticulous he was. It’s not shameful for us to suffer a little loss at his hands.”

Lin Mengya, who had regained her composure, had already seen through the matter in her heart.

The Eldest Prince was definitely a tough opponent. Not to mention that he had a dual-pupiled man by his side, his strategy and means were almost airtight without any weaknesses.

Needless to say, Xiaoyu was deliberately tied up too.

He was even meticulous and strategic in dealing with a mere maidservant like her.

If he were really fighting to seize the throne, he would likely be even more formidable.

“This opponent is interesting!” Thought Lin Mengya.

“Wanyan Jing actually really dares to make moves against you!”

Xiaoyu was furious. The person he hated most was his elder brother, who was cold as an iceberg.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Wanyan Jing’s mother was always bullying his mother was enough to put him off.

And today, he dared to make a move on his sister.

Sooner or later, he would personally send Wanyan Jing to hell!

“Don’t worry, Wanyan Jing is not an easy opponent to deal with. From now on, we can’t take a single step in the wrong direction.”

She narrowed her eyes. The fear that had been making her tremble just now slowly turned into a raging fighting spirit.

She had always been an untamable person. Being tolerant and forgiving was just something to cover up her true colors.

In the beginning, she was just an orphan. Only she knew what she had to endure to get into the medical college with a high elimination rate and how she became the student of the world’s best doctor.

In front of her family, she was willing to be protected. She put away her claws and showed her gentlest side for them.

Now, she must expose all her claws for the sake of protecting her most important family members.

It was time for her to put her gloves on and show the Eldest Prince who would come out on top.

The harsh environment made Lin Mengya gradually transform from a clever and naughty kitten into a lion.

On the other side was a male lion, who was currently in a state of wild joy and grief, and was on the verge of collapsing.

In the cave of the Qijue Peak of Snow Mountain, in a huge snake-shaped formation, a man in black was standing at the snake-head pond, his face changing constantly.

“She is no longer here!”

Looking at the clear water, Long Tianyu trembled all over.

In the past few days, he had received several important pieces of information about the Candle Dragon Cult.

He was so anxious that he didn’t even verify the authenticity of the news. He just wanted to take his men and make a move on the Candle Dragon Cult.

But for some unknown reason, he wanted to see her before leaving.

Unexpectedly, the snow mountain was still cold and lonely, but the person he didn’t know whether was still alive was no longer in the pond.

“Have you said goodbye to her? Stop dilly-dallying and let’s go. The sooner we come back, the sooner she will wake up... Where is she?!”

A fiery red figure walked towards the snake-head pond. But before he could stop laughing at Long Tianyu, his fox-like eyes were wide open.

“How could this happen? Didn’t you say that as long as she was in the water, her body will not decay?”

The torture over the past month had made Qinghu as skinny as Long Tianyu.

His coldness made him the new God of Massacre, who had become well-known in Jianghu recently.

If Long Tianyu wanted to save Lin Mengya, he naturally had to go.

Little did he expect that when he came to bid farewell to Lin Mengya, all he saw was an empty pond.

“I don’t know. Maybe...”

Long Tianyu suddenly strode outside with big steps. He had originally thought that something had happened to Lin Mengya.

However, a trace of hope that almost drove him mad with joy supported his reasoning, what little was left of it.

“Maybe... maybe Ya’er is not completely dead but resurrected!”

The two madmen completely ignored the difficulty of climbing the snow mountain and arrived at the foot of the mountain within a day.

The town that was wiped out by the Candle Dragon Cult had now become a military camp.

Long Tianyu barged in with a cold expression on his face. He stopped in front of the largest courtyard and rushed to kick open the door.

Inside, a luxurious man dressed in a white robe was looking out of the window at the snowy mountain, lost in thought.

“What’s wrong?”

Hou Yuetian came back to his senses and furrowed his brows as he looked at the two men with cold expressions on their faces.

The surrounding guards all tensed up, for fear that these two men, who looked even colder than the snow mountain, would harm their Master.

“Tell your men to get out. I have something to tell you.”

Even at this moment, Long Tianyu’s emotions were still the same as before.

It was because he thought through one thing on the way.

“Alright, you can all go. No one shall remain behind.”

Hou Yuetian gave the order calmly. For Long Tianyu to be so cautious, it must have something to do with her.

He would not shirk any responsibility when it came to matters related to her.

Without any objections, the guards left quietly and quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them were the only ones left in the spacious courtyard.

“Please tell me what’s going on.”

With just one look, Qinghu also left the room.

He could stop anyone from overhearing their conversation.

Long Tianyu’s patience had been stretched to the limit.

Hardly able to wait any longer, he lowered his voice and asked.

“Ya’er’s body... did your men touch it?”

In reality, Hou Yuetian was aware of their identities long ago, so he was naturally aware of Long Tianyu’s question.

He shook his head seriously. Lin Mengya’s deep sleep was the biggest secret in the entire nation of Dongxia. All the people who came here were elite guards, and no one dared to touch her body.

Could it be that something unexpected had happened?

“Afterwards, did anyone come down from the mountain? Did your people see a grey-haired young man bring something down from the mountain?”

What happened that day had been deeply imprinted in Long Tianyu’s head. He would never forget any detail.

He was sure that there were no mistakes in any parts, but he forgot the only variable—Xiaoyu!
