Chapter 577: Chapter 67 Make You Kneel Before Her

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Qiao Bu, despite being scared, still managed to ask angrily. Meanwhile, the bodyguards had all gathered around, protecting Long Ji.

Gu Xiaoxi hurriedly explained her purpose: "Don’t misunderstand. I came to rescue your majesty."

"Rescue his majesty? Why would you do that?" Qiao Bu wasn’t someone who would easily trust anyone, especially when Aotai had their eyes on them.

Gu Xiaoxi tossed the bottles and jars from her bag onto the ground and explained: "These I stole from Aotai’s biological laboratory, although I don’t know which one is the antidote. It’s still better than randomly researching. Quickly take Long Ji’s blood and test the medicine on him. If you don’t save him now, he’ll die from blood coagulation."

"You even know this? Who are you?" Qiao Bu gripped his weapon tightly, ready to shoot the moment Gu Xiaoxi made a move.

Yet Gu Xiaoxi seemed utterly relaxed, as if not frightened by their numbers, and said with seriousness: "I come from the International Alliance. The higher-ups don’t want hostility between your two states, so they sent me to resolve the situation."

"Evidence? The badge of the International Alliance, or a mission order!" Qiao Bu asked again.

Gu Xiaoxi simply smiled faintly, "The mission order is with my captain, and I came in such a hurry, I don’t have any evidence."

"And we’re supposed to believe you just like that?... Seize her and interrogate her afterward," Qiao Bu ordered as he and his men moved closer to Gu Xiaoxi. At the same time, they all aimed their weapons at her.

Gu Xiaoxi just smiled faintly, then suddenly flew up, standing mid-air with a smile as she looked down at everyone, "You can’t catch me. To tell you the truth, I was here last night. None of you noticed my presence. If I want to leave, no one can catch me. If I had wanted to harm you, Yi State would have already fallen into dire straits."

After that, Gu Xiaoxi exited through the window. Even though the bodyguards behind her opened fire, they didn’t even touch the hem of her clothes.

Qiao Bu looked at the pile of bottles and jars on the ground, then at Long Ji, lying on the bed.

Although he still harbored doubts about Gu Xiaoxi, just as she said, she had left. If she had wanted to harm them, they couldn’t have stopped her.

All they could do now was pray she was a good person.

Qiao Bu ordered his men to quickly test the medicine and find the antidote to save Long Ji.

After leaving, Gu Xiaoxi relayed the whole incident to Jing Rui and reassured her: "Don’t worry, as long as Long Ji wakes up, this problem will be solved. Aunt, did I not do you a big favor!"

"You did help, but stealing Aotai’s drugs on your own might get you in trouble!" Jing Rui thought for a moment, then instructed: "If Long Ji wakes up, you need to destroy all the drugs you took there. Things from Dong State, if they end up in Yi State, are very likely to cause a lot of trouble."

"I know!" Gu Xiaoxi felt that Jing Rui was more thoughtful. Long Ji, having been harmed, was surely harboring resentment. No matter what, he would want revenge. If she left Aotai’s drugs with him,

he might use them for retaliation, potentially exacerbating the conflict between the two states.

Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t gone far when she turned back.

At that time, Long Ji’s people were busy testing medicines.

Just as Gu Xiaoxi entered the sickroom, she heard the doctor’s voice, full of surprise, "The antidote has been found!"

Gu Xiaoxi sat on the balcony in front of Long Ji’s sickbed, watching as everyone in the room became too overjoyed to notice her return.

So, she stayed quiet, watching the doctor inject the antidote into Long Ji’s bloodstream.

The drug’s action was very fast, in just a minute’s time, Long Ji’s heartbeat gradually returned to normal.

Both the doctor and Qiao Bu held their breath, watching the man on the bed, fearing any mishap.

Luckily, after the drug was administered, the heartbeat slowly got back to normal.

Now, they just waited for Long Ji to wake up.

"Giggle..." Just then, laughter from the window made everyone turn around in shock.

Upon seeing Gu Xiaoxi, the crowd’s guard was much lower this time.

However, Gu Xiaoxi swung her legs, resting her chin in one hand as she looked at the doctor: "Now that the antidote has been found, give me back the rest of the medicine."

After thinking for a while, Qiao Bu instructed the doctor: "Return all the other medicines to this young lady."

Gu Xiaoxi offered a faint smile, feeling that Qiao Bu was quite perceptive.

Soon, the doctor returned the medicine that Gu Xiaoxi had brought to her.

After checking the items, and seeing nothing was missing, Gu Xiaoxi turned to Qiao Bu and said, "All’s well. My task is complete. I hope your two nations will continue to live in peace."

With that, Gu Xiaoxi grabbed her bag and was about to leave.

However, Qiao Bu hurriedly called after her, saying, "Don’t you want His Majesty’s reward?"

"No need for rewards, next time we meet, just have him kneel and bow his head to me," said Gu Xiaoxi as she swiftly flew out of the window.

Qiao Bu and the doctors, upon hearing this, were all shocked into stupefaction.

They all thought their ears must have deceived them. This woman actually expected His Majesty to kneel and bow his head to her...

Such an arrogant tone!

Not long after Gu Xiaoxi left, Long Ji awoke.

Qiao Bu and the doctors all excitedly knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, you have finally awakened."

"I’ve caused you all worry." Long Ji felt his spirits lift significantly, but he couldn’t forget the woman he had met while unconscious.

Qiao Bu quickly explained, "Your Majesty, it was a stranger, a woman, who saved you. She just left!"

"A messenger of the gods..." murmured Long Ji to himself.

Qiao Bu, however, elaborated, "She moved freely in my presence, bullets couldn’t touch her. She also said..." Qiao Bu hesitated to continue, feeling that Gu Xiaoxi’s last words were an affront to His Majesty.

"Speak! What did she say..." Long Ji asked with a stern expression. The twenty-something emperor was mature, handsome, and shrewd.

"She said she didn’t want any reward. Only that, upon your next meeting, you should kneel before her..." Qiao Bu’s voice trailed off to a near whisper at the end.

Long Ji, however, nodded in understanding, his expression not the thunderous rage Qiao Bu had anticipated, but one of nonchalance.

"What’s the situation outside?" Long Ji asked as he threw back the covers and got out of bed.

Qiao Bu immediately responded with reverence, "Aotai currently dares not make a move, but if you hadn’t awakened, I’m afraid they would have taken action!"

"Good! Make preparations. I’ve slept long enough, it’s time I made an appearance."

...

After meeting up with Jing Haoran, Gu Xiaoxi, heeding Jing Rui’s advice, destroyed all the medicine brought from Dong State.

Because of this, in Dong State, Aotai was almost spitting blood with frustration.

After finally trapping Long Ji, hoping to take Yi State in one fell swoop, he hadn’t expected the medicine to be stolen, and he was almost certain Long Ji was safe and sound by now.

This battle could not go on.

Indeed, the morning after the disappearance of the medicine, Long Ji made a public appearance. He was still the spirited, supreme ruler of a nation.

Aotai had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

After that, Long Ji also pulled back his troops.

A tense confrontation came suddenly and receded just as unexpectedly.

No one knew what had transpired behind the scenes.
