Chapter 166: Chapter 36 Sudden Declaration of Love

"Ling Yue, this matter is quite difficult. The Crown Prince has been assassinated, and the whole Xia Capital already knows about it. The assailant is an Elixir Realm expert, and Hong Fang has already sent out a message that anyone whose hands show they’re an Elixir Realm expert could be a suspect. Under such circumstances, Marquis Wu would absolutely not make a move to heal your mother." Lan Yingwu felt that the situation was very tricky.

The Marquises of Daxia are the guardians of the Imperial Family. Although it was Hong Fang whom Ye Huangyu attempted to assassinate, people outside always thought she was targeting the Crown Prince.

"Adoptive father, no matter what, I must try. Otherwise, mother’s Primordial Elixir is very unstable, and if it shatters, her cultivation will be completely destroyed." Ye Lingyue knew that the chances of success were very low, but she could only try.

Lan Yingwu immediately stepped out of the door.

It was not until the next morning that Lan Yingwu returned with a disappointed expression.

"Ah, Lord Marquis Wu refused." Lan Yingwu relayed the situation to Marquis Wu, but the other party still refused to heal Ye Huangyu.

Although Ye Lingyue had already guessed the outcome, she was still very disappointed.

"Ling Yue, there is actually another person who might be able to save your mother, and that is Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong." Lan Yingwu suddenly thought of it.

But immediately, Lan Yingwu shook his head.

With the vast world, the elusive Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong might even be harder to find than Venerable Xiahou.

Moreover, Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong, having killed countless people, how would he save someone?

Ye Lingyue had also thought of Wu Zhong, but that man was too unpredictable. The previous two rescues made Ye Lingyue feel they were not coincidental; she did not want to provoke that man unless absolutely necessary.

"Ling Yue, let’s think of other ways. You should rest too; you haven’t slept for days." Lady Lan was distressed for Ling Yue.

"No, adoptive mother, I will go ask Lord Marquis Wu again. Please take care of mother for me." Ye Lingyue knew that only Lord Marquis Wu could save her mother Ye Huangyu now; she did not say more and left the Lan Residence.

Lan Yingwu wanted to stop her but couldn’t.

Feng Xun saw Ye Lingyue leave, and his face was full of worry.

Ever since returning from the Hot Spring Palace, he had been waiting at the Lan Residence. After learning about Ye Huangyu’s injury from Lan Yingwu, Feng Xun took out an Elixir Pill.

"Lady Lan, I have a Seventh Grade Soul Reviving Elixir here. You give it to Ling Yue’s mother to ingest first; it should be able to help Third Miss Ye."

When they saw that Elixir Pill, both Lan Yingwu and his wife were startled.

Although they did not know much about Elixirs, the one in front of them was a Red Pattern Elixir.

"Prince, that is the life-saving Elixir refined for you by Lord Fang Venerate; you can’t just give it away..." The Sword Slave saw Prince Feng take out the life-saving Soul Reviving Elixir and immediately tried to stop him.

"It’s none of your business, Sword Slave," Feng Xun said coldly.

The Sword Slave immediately fell silent, knowing that Prince Feng was angered.

A Seventh Grade Red Pattern Soul Reviving Elixir could even bring back the dead, and even Beiqing could only refine three a year; was Prince Feng really willing to part with it?

Wasn’t this equivalent to handing over his own life?

Seeing this, both Lan Yingwu and Lady Lan showed signs of surprise.

They originally thought that Prince Feng and Ling Yue were just good friends, but which friend would hand over their life-saving Elixir so readily?

It was clear to everyone that Prince Feng’s feelings for Ling Yue...

"Just take it; I will go and find Ling Yue to come back," said Feng Xun before he left the Lan Residence.

"Now they’ve all left. What do I do with this Elixir, use it or not?" Lan Yingwu was hesitant.

"Saving a life is like putting out a fire, just give it to Ling Yue’s mother first." Lady Lan took the Elixir and fed it to Ye Huangyu.

Xia Capital, within Marquis Wu’s Mansion, second only to the Imperial Palace, is the place with the strictest security.

Ordinarily, even a fly would not easily pass by here,

But today, from noon onwards, there kneels a person.

Although the Ghost Festival has passed, in the tropical Xia Capital, the midday sun remains brutally scorching.

The fierce sunlight bears down on Ye Lingyue.

"Please, Lord Marquis Wu, save my mother’s life."

A woman’s voice, from clear to hoarse, echoes around Marquis Wu’s Mansion, reaching into it.

Yet, the gates of Marquis Wu’s Mansion remain firmly shut.

Sweat, dripping onto the ground.

From the incident to treating Ye Huangyu’s injuries, exhausting all her Cauldron Breath, Ye Lingyue had not closed her eyes or eaten; though her body is strong, it is not made of iron.

"Zhiyo~" Little Zhiyo watches his big sister with extreme worry.

The little one somehow manages to find a lotus leaf, props it on his forehead, looking pitifully as he wipes his big sister’s sweat.

Suddenly, it darkens above, and Ye Lingyue, dizzy from the sun, lifts her head, only to see Feng Xun’s face concern-stricken.

He holds an umbrella in his hand, shielding away the dizzying, piercing sunlight.

"Ling Yue, let’s go back," Feng Xun says with immense heartache.

"No, I must request Lord Marquis to save my mother." At this point, Ye Lingyue, in Feng Xun’s eyes, is like a stubborn child, with only one thought: to seek Lord Marquis’ help.

Feng Xun knows the Ye Lingyue he’s familiar with won’t rest until her goal is achieved.

"Then I’ll wait with you," Feng Xun steps beside Ye Lingyue, like a towering tree shading her from the sunlight.

Most of the umbrella shields Ye Lingyue, while the majority of his own body is exposed to the sun.

"Prince?" The Sword Slave steps forward.

"Step back," Feng Xun’s voice is ice cold.

Feng Xun’s pale face has started to redden from the excess exposure to the sun.

However, he continues to hold the umbrella, standing by Ye Lingyue’s side.

Unbeknownst to them, the sky turns gloomy, and massive lead-colored clouds roll in from the other side, thunder flashes tearing through the sky, and raindrops, large as beans, begin to fall, splashing against the umbrella.

The rain pours like a torrent, and quickly the water on the ground forms into streams.

"Feng Xun, you should go back," Ye Lingyue worries for Feng Xun’s health. "Why do you... for me..."

"Doing anything for the woman one adores does not need a reason," Feng Xun’s words softly land in Ye Lingyue’s ears.

Adoration... Feng Xun’s feelings for her...

Ye Lingyue’s eyes suddenly widen, she lifts her head... only to feel the world spinning, her legs give way, about to fall to the ground.

In the blink before she loses consciousness, she feels herself caught in a pair of warm arms, so powerful they give her an oddly familiar feeling, but before she can discern who the owner of these arms is, Ye Lingyue collapses into unconsciousness.

"Zhiyo~" Little Zhiyo curiously looks at Feng Xun and his big sister in the rain.

The beautiful Feng Xun seems somewhat different today.

Looking down at the frail and pale Ye Lingyue in his embrace, Feng Xun’s eyes fill with a soft gaze.

Such a silly girl that leaves one with incessant worries... Feng Xun lifts his head, looking towards the still shut Marquis Wu’s Mansion gates.

His eyes, brewing with a storm.

"What a Marquis Wu indeed, so high and mighty."
