Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

A Life for a Life

Ye Mu internally thought, these things must have melted the red ropes before. Moreover, they weren’t conspicuous, like thick water gathering on the ground. And it was actually this fearsome, those people of the empire that time really knew how to find a place!

Mo Linyuan said, “Everyone, avoid those puddles. Go out using full strength!”

The people who got accidentally injured could also only clench their teeth, helping each other to go out. But even if it was like this, they still lost some people. When they went in, there were 120 people in total. In the end, there were only about 80 people going out.

In addition, each one of them were injured, and many had worms in their bodies. Anguished wails were immediately heard everywhere.

After they went out, Mo Linyuan made quick decisions, and asked someone to cover the exit with a boulder. He had also seen those dangerous white worms. It was unknown how many poisonous creatures there were below, it was better not to release them to keep from harming people.

While carrying Ye Mu, he walked in large strides to seek the imperial physician. There were three imperial physicians who were sent first. He hurriedly placed Ye Mu down in front of them, and anxiously said.

“Hurry and look at her! She’s poisoned!”

Seeing that Ye Mu was the one poisoned, the imperial physicians hurriedly surrounded them, but Ye Mu still hazily remembered Mo Linyuan’s legs. While in haste before, he must have stepped on those corrosive liquid, were his legs all right?!

Ye Mu hoarsely asked them to check on Mo Linyuan’s legs, but at this time, how could Mo Linyuan think about that trivial wound?!

The blood on his forehead had dried, the wounds on his legs had also gone numb.

He gripped Ye Mu hard, and then said in a loud voice, “I’m fine, can’t you care about yourself for a while?! Be good and let the physician check. Don’t forget, you said you’ll marry me when we go back!”

Ye Mu went submissive from his loud voice, but she knew in her heart that this time, it was hopeless. This poison was a hundred times more poisonous than arsenic. Before she died, she just wanted to see him well.

Sure enough, after the imperial physicians had a look, each of their faces went pale.

Too poisonous! With this hypertoxic poison, it was already a miracle that Ye-xiaojie lived until now!

Seeing none of the imperial physicians speak, Mo Linyuan was immediately upset! “Why are you not moving? Treat her!”

The imperial physicians shared a look of blank dismay, and one of them hesitantly said, “Your Majesty, this poison is too complex, and the pathogens attack the heart, it’s unsolvable!”

“Unsolvable?!” At that moment, Mo Linyuan’s eyes showed fear. He gazed at Ye Mu who had fallen into a stupor, and furiously said.

“If it’s incurable, what’s your use! If it’s incurable, I want you all to die together!”

The imperial physicians dropped to their knees, trembling with fear. “Your Majesty, this poison is really unsolvable, the pathogens have already attacked Ye-xiaojie‘s heart, if we want to cure her, there’s not enough time to research for an antidote!”

“Yes, Your Majesty, this poison is more complex than arsenic trioxide, these servants are truly helpless.”

For a moment, there were only the noises of pleas of mercy in the tent. Mo Linyuan looked at them, and in the end, his eyes stayed on Ye Mu.

“Why can’t she be saved? Why…” he muttered to himself, and suddenly roared!

“All of you, scram!”

They didn’t dare stay, and frantically escaped. Mo Linyuan sat next to Ye Mu, gazing at Ye Mu who had fallen into a coma, his hand curling into a fist.

In the end, his fingers softly stayed on Ye Mu’s face, his eyes gradually turning resolute.

This poison was threatening, and even with Ye Mu’s hundred years of internal energy, she had fallen into a stupor, not to mention those quacks?

Mo Linyuan deeply looked at her, and uttered in a hoarse voice.

“When I was ten, it was you who saved me from that person. At that time, I made a vow to treat you well all my life.”

After he spoke these words, he suddenly lowered his head, placing a soft kiss on Ye Mu’s forehead. His long eyelashes lightly trembled, and his thin lips pursed into a line after the kiss.

Then, he helped Ye Mu up, his fingers sealing the six major acupoints on her body. He sat cross-legged in front of her. At last, he glanced at her.

“I won’t let you die. I’ve said, as long as I’m alive, you’ll be safe.”

After a shichen, as Ye Mu felt very warm, there was something flowing out of her body. It was her internal energy, and her internal energy was being sucked away, as well as the poison in her body!

Quiescent shen gong, it was actually Quiescent shen gong! Who was it, exchanging life for a life?!

*shen gong (神功) – the practice of cultivating the spirit/consciousness, or to promote spiritual development

She wanted to open her eyes, but couldn’t. She felt the internal energy in her body diminishing, as well as the poison. Then, there was exhaustion deep into her bone marrows, making her want to sleep.

Finally, she fell into Mo Linyuan’s embrace.

Sensing that her poison had disappeared from her body, Mo Linyuan’s eyes became frightfully green, but his eyes that were gazing at her were incomparably soft and gentle.

“I said I’ll protect you, I keep my promise.”

In the end, when Ye Xiaolang entered, he saw Mo Linyuan collapsed on the bed. He looked at Mo Linyuan’s poisoned face, and hurriedly went to shake Ye Mu!

When Ye Mu awoke, she felt extremely tired, but very soon, she noticed her internal energy had disappeared, yet she was alive!

Ye Mu looked at Ye Xiaolang with shock, but Ye Xiaolang pointed at Mo Linyuan!

“Xiaojie, what’s happening? What happened to Aji?!”

Ye Mu looked at Mo Linyuan, her eyes suddenly widening! So the one who sucked away her internal energy and poison, it was Mo Linyuan?!

Seeing Mo Linyuan’s face that kept floating with more death qi, Ye Mu hastily blocked Mo Linyuan’s acupoints, but she had no internal energy now, her fingers couldn’t block the acupoints. She could only have Ye Xiaolang come.

Ye Xiaolang hastily stretched out his hand to seal the acupoints, looking at Ye Mu incredulously.

“What about your martial arts?!”

Ye Mu quickly got up. “It’s not the time to talk about this. To save me, Mo Linyuan used Quiescent shen gong! I don’t know why I didn’t die, but he’ll die in a moment’s delay!”

Ye Mu was right. Right now, the green color on Mo Linyuan’s face kept on spreading. He also had no other way but to do this, because among the people in the scene, he had the greatest martial arts, and only he could do it. He fused Quiescent shen gong and the Paramount Heart Sutra he cultivated himself, and then without harming Ye Mu’s life, sucked away the poison from her body.

But this was merely exchanging his life, exchanging a life for a life. What was the use?

Ye Mu hurriedly called the imperial physicians to come in. Seeing that Ye Mu was still alive, the physicians were shocked, because just now, they thought His Majesty was accompanying Ye-xiaojie on her last journey, but His Majesty who was in a good condition, was now unconscious on the bed. How could they not understand what happened? His Majesty must have used a method to save Ye-xiaojie!

Ye Mu also didn’t waste time, and immediately asked, “I don’t need you to save him, I just want to know, what method do you have to suspend his life?!”The imperial physicians all shook their heads, but at this moment, Ye Xiaolang, who was covering his own injured hand, softly said, “I have a way.”
