Monarch Of Time

Chapter 138 - 138 Resolving the poison

Shun Longʼs conjecture was right, as after arriving at the foot of the mountain he saw ʼsenior brother Boʼ who was unmoving on the ground, the earth beneath him painted red with his blood, while Su Honghui was struggling to crawl away.

When they saw Shun Long returning, Liu Meiʼs face was painted with joy, while Su Honghui felt fear from the bottom of his heart.

He didnʼt even ask anything about his junior brother who had abandoned him earlier, while deep inside him, Su Honghui even hoped that Shun Long had managed to kill that traitor who had dared to abandon him and run away alone.

Looking at Shun Long who was walking towards him, Su Honghui didnʼt even know what he should say to beg for his life.

Shun Long didnʼt plan to let Su Honghui live in the first place, as he effortlessly crushed his neck without another word, and took his spatial ring before he threw his body to the side.

After making sure that ʼsenior brother Boʼ was also dead, Shun Long took his spatial ring as well, and after putting it inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ, he walked up to Liu Mei.

Liu Mei looked at the bloodied Shun Long who had just killed 3 disciples of the Poison Hall to save her, and gave him a dazzling smile that took his breath away for a moment.

Shun Long felt his surroundings dimming after seeing this peerlessly beautiful girlʼs smile, before his eyes suddenly fell on her injured arms that had started to turn a blackish green color. It looked like the poison had already started to seep into Liu Meiʼs body, as Shun Long looked at her and said with a serious look

ʼʼThe poison is quickly spreading throughout your body. If you donʼt expel it soon, then once it enters your meridians, it will be a miracle if you are still alive.ʼʼ

Liu Mei looked at her slender, jade-like arms, and saw that there were indeed 3 dark green spots that were slowly expanding in her body.

Using her long white sword, she tried to stand up, but her body simply didnʼt listen to her. Shun Longʼs eyes widened as he remembered Su Honghuiʼs words, and understood that there must have been some kind of paralyzing poison in ʼjunior brother Peiʼsʼ dagger.

roarr

At the same time, both Liu Mei and Shun Long were startled as magic beast roars sounded from the forest behind them.

ʼʼUhm, ju-junior brother... can you... help me?ʼʼ

Shun Long was stunned when he heard Liu Meiʼs request, but after noticing that she couldnʼt move her own body, while magic beasts seemed to be quickly approaching them from behind, he nodded his head as he said

ʼʼAlright, make sure to hang tight!ʼʼ

Liu Mei seemed a bit confused after hearing Shun Longʼs words, until she saw him placing one hand on her back and the other one on her feet.

Lifting her up in a ʼprincess hugʼ, Shun Long completely ignored Liu Meiʼs tomato-red face as he ran towards the mountain in front of him.

Although he tried not to think about the peerlessly beautiful girl in his arms, after feeling the supple body in his hands, Shun Long couldnʼt stop his heartrate from speeding up, especially since Liu Mei was the first girl that he was in such a close contact with.

Similar thoughts were also flooding Liu Meiʼs head as she turned her head to look at this man who was carrying her in his arms.

A warm feeling filled her heart, when she felt Shun Longʼs loud heartbeat that betrayed his nervousness, despite his calm facade.

A few minutes later, Shun Long had already climbed halfway up the mountain, until he finally found a natural-made cave nearby.

A feeling of loss suddenly filled Liu Meiʼs heart after she was separated from Shun Longʼs warm embrace.

Shun Long also felt a similar feeling, but he quickly suppressed it as he looked at Liu Meiʼs wounds and said

ʼʼSenior sister it looks like the poison is still expanding on your arm. You should circulate your qi around it to stop it from seeping deeper inside your body. I will look at their spatial rings and see if they have the antidotes on them.ʼʼ

Liu Mei nodded her head and smiled lightly, before she closed her eyes and circulated her qi around her wounds.

Shards of ice appeared on top of her skin, as the dark green spots seemed to have stopped expanding any further.

Then, opening her eyes to look at Shun Long who was now searching through the spatial rings in search of an antidote, her eyes formed 2 crescent moons as a smile that could dazzle anyone who could see her at this moment, had unknowingly appeared on her face.

Searching through all 3 of the Poison Hall disciplesʼ spatial rings, Shun Long found more than 70.000 spirit stones in total, along with various poisonous herbs, as well as 2 small boxes.

The boxes were filled with black and green ointment respectively, but the scent they emitted was anything but pleasant.

Usually, poison masters would always carry the antidote for their poisons with them, in case they accidentally affected themselves while fighting so Shun Long didnʼt found this unexpected.

Opening his eyes, Shun Long was captivated by Liu Meiʼs bewitching smile.

A moment later, he recomposed himself, and taking out the 2 black boxes with the antidotes he said

ʼʼSenior sister, these ointments need to be applied externally on your injuries.ʼʼ

Liu Mei looked at the black boxes in front of her and embarrassedly nodded her head once again.

She was surprised to find out that her heart was actually looking forward to Shun Longʼs hands touching hers once again.
