Chapter 540: Chapter 550 Awakened

Because she had been drinking that medicine for years, the effect of the Ice Snake poison on her was different from others, which is why she was still alive now.

However, the deepening chill in her body was not a good thing.

The medicine she had taken in recent years was in vain, Gu Youyou at this moment was just as when he first met her, equally icy and bone-piercingly cold.

Back then, he had given her his blood to drink, and this time too, it would take his blood to suppress the poison.

A bowl of blood was fed to her, with a few drops hanging at the corner of her mouth, Jin Zijin gently wiped it off with his pristine sleeve.

A moment later, he sighed softly, "I thought you and Ajing didn’t get along, but I didn’t expect that at the critical moment, you would still risk your safety to save him. Youyou, thank you."

Since Yue Tingfang entrusted Yue Rujing to him, their lives had been bound together. If Yue Rujing truly died from a snake bite, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to Yue Tingfang.

Owing the Yue Family so much already, he dared not owe them any more.

Taking off his clothes, he used his own body heat to slowly bring her back to warmth, much faster than using a heater.

The sun was setting in the west, and the day was already turning late.

Lin Qianqing watched the darkening sky with worry and fear.

Yue Rujing was still asleep, her cousin hadn’t come out yet, and there was no sign of movement in the room.

Seeing that they hadn’t emerged so late, the family was probably already sending someone to the medical hall to look for them. In a little while, they would likely find this place.

She didn’t know how to explain this commotion to her family.

"Knock knock knock..." There came a sound of knocking at the door.

Lin Qianqing was startled, hastily getting up to deal with it.

"What is it?"

The Taoist lad outside said, "Is Miss Lin inside?"

Lin Qianqing was slightly taken aback, realizing in an instant what was going on.

What she had feared had come to pass, her family had found her.

"Yes," she answered.

The Taoist lad said, "Miss Lin, Butler Qiu from the Lin Residence is here, what about this..."

"I know, ask Butler Qiu to wait a moment, just say... my cousin is having an attack of her illness and is undergoing treatment."

This was a way to delay for a bit; Butler Qiu wouldn’t dare to barge in, but once he relayed this message back to the family, grandmother would start to worry too.

If her cousin was fine, it would be alright, but what if something bad happened?

She felt like she had lost a clump of hair in the span of just one afternoon from worry.

Time passed as slowly as a snail crawling, and the people inside still hadn’t come out, Yue Rujing continuing to sleep.

She looked at Yue Rujing, stirred the fire in the stove to make it burn more fiercely and added another quilt for him.

The poison of the Ice Snake was highly cold; she hesitated again and again, but still reached out to check Yue Rujing’s temperature.

It was warm, which meant that the snake poison inside his body was no longer a serious threat, otherwise, it should be ice cold and bone-piercing.

"Princely Heir Yue." Lin Qianqing tried calling him.

There was no response; after a moment, she pushed him slightly.

"Princely Heir Yue, Yue Rujing!"

The night had already fallen, Lin Qianqing lit a lamp, and by the dim light, she looked at Yue Rujing.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

That was good, she had been nervous for hours and finally let out a sigh of relief.

Yue Rujing slowly opened his eyes, then saw the girl lighting a lamp before him.

"You’ve woken up?" Lin Qianqing said with delighted surprise.

His head a little sore, Yue Rujing held his forehead and propped himself up to sit.

Looking carefully, he could finally see the person before him clearly.

"You’re still here!" He glanced at the sky and shook his head, "How long have I slept?"

"About three hours," Lin Qianqing said.
