Chapter 162: Chapter 162 Trouble Comes Knocking (5)_1

"Hanzhang, how are you feeling?"

Chu Heng sat by the bedside, his eyes showing concern as he looked at Xiao Ruiyuan.

At that moment, Xiao Ruiyuan leaned weakly against the headboard, his complexion still pale. Upon hearing Chu Heng’s greeting, his expression softened considerably, "Your Highness, rest assured, Hanzhang is not in serious trouble."

"With me here, even if you stepped one foot into the Gate of Hell, I could pull you back," Doctor Gui said consolingly with a smile, before suddenly speaking seriously, "However, your injuries this time are too severe. If that young lady hadn’t brought you out of the deep forest, and promptly sought out Yan Kid, by the time we found you, you would have already met King Yama."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruiyuan furrowed his brows; it was actually a young lady who had rescued him from such a perilous place?

Seeming to detect his confusion, Chu Heng recounted the entire incident from start to finish, finally expressing from the bottom of his heart, "That Miss Mo is truly extraordinary; not only did she manage to command Little Flower, but she also dared to enter the mountain herself to save you. She’s a kind-hearted young woman."

Hearing that he had been saved by Mo Yan once again, Xiao Ruiyuan was stunned for a moment, involuntarily thinking of that bright and beautiful smiling face, and an unusual feeling surged up from the depths of his heart – a mix of sour tenderness and an indescribable emotion, which gave him an urgent impulse to see that smiling face again.

These unfamiliar, uncontrollable feelings left him at a loss; poor Xiao Ruiyuan had reached twenty years of age without understanding he was moved by love, as he could easily ignore maidens who fell for him right before his eyes.

Chu Heng failed to notice his unusual demeanor and spoke with a heavy sense of guilt, "Had it not been for me, you wouldn’t have risked your life! Hanzhang, my body has already improved a lot and will get even better in the future. You should not risk your own life for my sake again."

Toward the end, Chu Heng’s voice trembled slightly.

A warm current rose in Xiao Ruiyuan’s heart, but he wasn’t good at offering comfort, and his words came out stiff, "Your Highness, it was Hanzhang’s carelessness this time that allowed others to take advantage; there’s no need for you to blame yourself! It’s a pity that I couldn’t find the Red Python this time and retrieve the gallbladder for Your Highness."

Toward the end, Xiao Ruiyuan’s eyes were filled with coldness, those people had tried to kill him solely to prevent him from finding the Red Python’s Gallbladder to treat Your Highness, but even without this, they would find every possible way to eliminate him, leaving Your Highness without any support, to be manipulated at their will.

"Then, during your venture, did you see that Red Python?" Doctor Gui asked eagerly, knowing that if they could obtain the Red Python’s Gallbladder and find Black Lingzhi and Thousand-year Ginseng, the toxins in Your Highness’s body could be completely eliminated.

Xiao Ruiyuan shook his head, a flash of frustration passing through his cold gaze, "I originally found a trace, and it was very likely that I would find it if I continued searching. Unfortunately, everything was disrupted by those people."

Doctor Gui also showed a face full of regret; they had received news of the Red Python appearing in Yuhua Mountain years ago, but despite sending people to search for so many years, no one had caught a glimpse of it. There had been a chance of finding it this time, but it was unfortunately spoiled by those people.

"Right, I do have an idea," Doctor Gui suddenly thought of a good strategy and said excitedly, "Weren’t you found by that wolf cub? Since it frequently ventures into the mountains, why not let it search for you?"

The more Doctor Gui spoke, the better he thought the plan was. Little Flower was no ordinary wolf, and with it going in to search, it would surely be able to follow the scent to the Red Python, which was far better than a group of people entering aimlessly, like searching for a needle in a vast ocean.

Xiao Ruiyuan and Chu Heng exchanged glances, each seeing the joy in the other’s eyes.

"Don’t even think about it, knowing Little Flower’s temperament, do you think it would obediently obey?"
