this time. I only wanted to be alone for a while, but I didn't expect this to happen."After Feng Lingxi finished speaking, Feng Yu Xi immediately said, "Your Majesty, your servant concubine did not q...Wind Ling subconsciously glanced at her sleeve arrow, raised her hand, but was caught by Lu Nian.
"Don't make a move, just disturb them."
"I'm just looking."
Lu Nian loosened his grip and stared at the pack of wolves in the distance, "Don't wander off while I'm gone, I'll be back soon."
Feng Lingxi watched Lu Nian leave, her heart inexplicably panicking, afraid he was gone.
"Your Majesty, Master Lu is a very good person."
Xiao Li looked at Feng Ling Xi's panicked eyes, "He really treats you as his sister."
As his own sister, Feng Lingxi watched the pack of wolves in the distance, "Xiao Li, who made the first move just now Why have these wolves suddenly calmed down"
"I'm not quite sure either. When I heard the wolf howling, I saw all those soldiers come over here to protect the village, and there were also some injured soldiers."
"It's illogical for these wolf packs to suddenly become so docile. There must be something amiss here."
Feng Lingxi crouched down and looked at the pack of wolves staring at her, falling into deep thought.
"Awooo…"
A sudden wolf howl echoed through the village. Feng Lingxi, hearing this sound, turned in astonishment. The pack of wolves in front of her let out a roar and charged toward the village with astonishing speed.
The soldiers were pounced upon and torn to death by a pack of wolves.
Xiao Li hurriedly pulled Feng Lingxi towards the camp tent. Watching the pack of wolves charging ferociously behind them, Xiao Li suddenly pushed Feng Lingxi aside, getting tackled by a wolf. The dagger in her hand pierced the wolf's abdomen fiercely. She kicked the wolf off her body, stood up, and walked to Feng Lingxi's side.
"Your Majesty, please enter the camp."
Xiaoli drew her short sword from its sheath and looked at the pack of wolves that were frothing at the mouth. The sight of them tearing at their prey made Feng Lingxi's mind flash with memories.
Aren't Liu Daliang's brothers' symptoms when they went mad just like this wolf
"Your Highness, be careful."
Little Li shouted loudly, watching as the wolves rushed towards Feng Lingxi. She drew her sword and stabbed at them, but was knocked down by another wolf. Feng Lingxi's sleeve arrow shot out, piercing the wolf's throat with a whoosh, killing it instantly.
"Get up."
Feng Lingxi's sleeve arrow was fast, accurate and deadly. She calmly shot down the wolves that rushed over. Helping Xiaoli up, she saw the scratches on her arm from the attack and led her towards the tent.
"Take care of your wound first, I'll go help."
A figure leaped down, arrows whizzing through the air and striking a wolf in the belly. Feng Lingxi watched as the newcomer arrived and hurried forward.
"Don't just stand there, hurry up."
Lu Nian finished speaking, her bow and arrows had already slain several wolves. Feng Lingxi followed closely behind, the soldiers fought back, in a fierce battle, the wolf pack was wiped out, but half of the soldiers were killed or wounded.
"Are you alright" Lu Nian threw the bow and arrow aside. He had gone to get it, which took a moment, and then they started fighting.
"I'm fine, I just heard wolves howling in the village, and a pack suddenly attacked."
Lu Nian nodded. "It was those two brothers who called me, I've already shot them both."
"Did you kill them"
Feng Lingxi was very anxious. Looking at Lu Nian's cold eyes, she wanted to question him, but she didn't know how to start.
They don't die, the whole village can't live.
Lu Nian looked at Feng Lingxi, "They've all been poisoned and there's no way to save them. I don't know what to say about them, they should be werewolves."
Feng Lingxi, hearing the word werewolf, thought of that indistinguishable howl. It was them who had lured the wolf pack here. Was this the werewolf Heartwater had created
“That woman is absolutely insane.” Xiaoli angrily exclaimed, these were all innocent lives.
She wanted them to become werewolves and die for her if she couldn't get what she wanted.
Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li, “Let me see your wound.”
Xiao Li shook her head, "My injuries are fine. Luckily these were wolves, their hearts unable to be controlled by water. Otherwise, if I had been caught, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lived past seven days."
Feng Lingxi was not at ease and insisted on checking Xiaoli's body. After confirming that her wounds were just ordinary scratches, she cleaned them and applied medicine to prevent infection. Those wolf claws could be quite dangerous.
"What happened"
Dugu Cheng returned, looking at the mess in the village. He hurried to Feng Lingxi's location and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw she was unharmed.
"You're back just in time, go check how many soldiers are injured first. I'll take care of things here with Xiao Li and we'll immediately head over to bandage their wounds."
Du Gu Cheng nodded and handed the things he brought back to Lu Nian, "This is the purple heartleaf I bought and the herbs Xia Er needs. Please hold onto them for me."
Lu Nian took the mention of the camp tent, and after coming out, she went to help. A group of people were busy until dawn before tidying up the mess. Liu Da and his two brothers had already been killed on the spot because of the sudden werewolf transformation. The atmosphere in the village suddenly became heavy.
Feng Lingxi hadn't slept all night. Villagers helped her boil medicine and clean the bloodstains from the village. Feng Lingxi carefully inspected the bodies of the wolf pack, making sure there were no problems before dragging them all to one place and cremating them.
This seven-day madness disease, Feng Lingxi cannot guarantee how this poison works. Any cats and dogs should not eat it to avoid accidents.
After a fierce battle, everyone was exhausted. Dugu City told Ye Xi to return to the camp and dispatch five hundred soldiers, and also sent enough food to ensure their rations here.
Luo Li and Li Wu Yan were still not back. Lu Nian had the most say in their opinions, but there was nothing she could do. All she could do now was wait for Feng Ling Xi to find the antidote.
"Your Majesty, the five patients who took the medicine yesterday showed no signs of madness. I continued to administer the medicine to them as you instructed. The other patients with madness are in a more severe condition, and they only have two days left."
Feng Lingxi nodded, thirteen others also only had two days left. If the medicine didn't work, they would become werewolves, and there would only be one ending then.
She didn't want to kill them, but if it came to that, she had no other choice.
"Keep them on their medication, have someone keep an eye on them, and make sure to document everything."
"Sister, come eat the buns."
Lu Nian held a plate of steamed buns and came in, "These were made by the soldiers especially for you, big meat-filled buns."
Lu Nian had a rare smile on her face. This Dugu City was truly good to Feng Lingxi. He worried about her diet, so all her meals were personally prepared by the soldiers, and manpower was increased for gathering medicine, leaving nothing to chance.
Feng Ling Xi was picking medicine and couldn't spare a hand at all.
"You eat first, I'll eat later."
Lu Nian grabbed a meat bun and walked forward, “Open your mouth, brother will feed you.” Lu Nian called him "brother" with every bite, regardless of whether Feng Lingxi recognized him or not. He could be said to be attending to his younger sister at all times, serving her attentively. Seeing her so capable made him proud.
Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian handing over the meat bun, frowning, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"You still eat it yourself, I'll eat mine later."
"Open wide, sweetie." If he didn't feed her now, she'd probably forget all about eating later.Mo Huilan, who smiled and explained, "The Fourth Princess might not know, but this capital has been abuzz with rumors. They say the owner of Tianxianglou once invited the Fourth Princess to have a mea...
