Chapter 122: She Steps in to Save Someone

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: She Steps in to Save Someone

Was he doing this all for Jingjing?

Chu Baihan looked at Yan Lin in shock, her heart in turmoil at that moment.

"I, living like a walking corpse back then, wanted to do a good deed before I died, so I transferred the Poisonous Insect to myself. If you ask whether I regret it, I do not," he said.

"Had I not done this good deed, I likely wouldn’t have gathered enough good fortune to see you again," he added.

Unfortunately, he still did not gain her forgiveness.

Sorrow and bitterness filled Yan Lin’s dark eyes.

He coughed painfully a few times, fresh blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"I..."

"Do not speak. With me here, you will not die," the Princess said coldly.

Chu Baihan’s voice was cold, her eyes filled with determination.

As her words fell, she plunged the dagger in her hand into Yan Lin’s right shoulder.

Yan Lin looked down to see something squirming on his shoulder.

Could this be the Poisonous Insect?

His eyes filled with shock.

Meanwhile, Chu Baihan cut her own wrist with the dagger, her blood flowing out and dripping onto his wound.

"You..." he said, worriedly looking at her wound.

"Do not get distracted," Chu Baihan sternly interrupted.

Though Yan Lin was concerned for her, he endured it.

Chu Baihan’s blood had a faintly sweet scent that was lethally attractive to the Poisonous Insect.

Soon, a black insect with numerous claws poked its head out.

Perceiving no danger, it crawled out and licked her blood clean.

After it had its fill, it slowly crawled back into Yan Lin’s wound.

All this time, Chu Baihan simply watched it, with no intention of killing it.

Once the Poisonous Insect had completely disappeared, she tore a piece of cloth from her skirt and bandaged his wound.

"You must be curious why I did not get rid of the Poisonous Insect just now," she asked in a cold voice.

Yan Lin pressed his lips tightly, not speaking, but he indeed waited for her explanation.

"This Poisonous Insect of yours is one of a twin pair. There is another person who has the same Poisonous Insect as yours. Both insects must be killed at the same time; otherwise, if only one is left, both infected individuals will die," Chu Baihan explained seriously.

In the end, she frowned lightly, muttering, "The person who cast this curse... how profound must their hatred be to want two lives."

Could it be...

Chu Baihan suddenly realized something, her heart clenched fiercely.

Yan Lin had said earlier that he had drawn the Poisonous Insect from Jingjing’s body.

Could the other one be on Xixi’s body?

No, that can’t be right; she had been keeping an eye on Xixi. If there were a Poisonous Insect on him, she would definitely have noticed.

Thinking this, Chu Baihan’s heart somewhat settled.

"So, we need to find the other infected person?" Yan Lin asked in a deep voice.

His expression was also serious as he considered who could be so cruel as to harm such a young girl as Jingjing.

Before he could think clearly, he began coughing up blood again.

"The Poisonous Insect, having fed on my blood, will fall into a long slumber, temporarily posing no threat to you, but your body is severely depleted, and you won’t last much longer," Chu Baihan said, shaking her head with a grave expression.

Yan Lin was about to speak to comfort her, telling her not to worry about a person like him.

But the next moment, he saw her pulling out Snow Ganoderma.

Chu Baihan broke the Snow Ganoderma into two halves, and before he could react, she stuffed one half into his mouth.

What was she doing?

Yan Lin’s face dramatically changed.

And Chu Baihan had sealed several of his acupoints, then forced it down his throat; he had no chance to resist.

"Your situation is very complicated; even a Snow Ganoderma won’t completely detoxify you, but at least it will keep you alive. I’ve administered half a Snow Ganoderma to you, so consider your life saved for now,"

Chu Baihan said, her voice weary.

Just now, to feed the Poisonous Insect, she had lost a lot of blood, and now her head was swimming.

Lowering her eyes to the half Snow Ganoderma in her arms, her feelings were also complex.

She had planned for so long, just to obtain this Snow Ganoderma to save Jinjin.

Half a Snow Ganoderma certainly couldn’t compare to a whole one.

But just now, she had no other choice!

Whether it was because Yan Lin was the father of Xixi and Jingjing or because Yan Lin’s poisoning was due to Jingjing, she couldn’t just watch him die.

"You’ve given half a Snow Ganoderma to this Prince, what about that very important person to you..."

As the Snow Ganoderma entered his stomach, Yan Lin was both shocked and relieved.

The fact that she was willing to save him indicated that he wasn’t as despicable in her heart, still worthy of her saving.

But as he calmed down, his heart couldn’t help but be both anxious and desolate.

She had made such an effort to obtain the Snow Ganoderma to save someone she cared about, and now he had consumed half of it...

Would her heart be very disheartened, and would she resent him once again?

The Prince once dominant in court and battlefield, decisive in slaughter, was now plagued by worries.

"Just like you, half can keep him alive, think of something else for the rest," Chu Baihan spoke slowly.

He didn’t know if those words were to pacify Yan Lin or to comfort herself.

"We should hurry; if your father discovers us, none of us will get out of here today," she said seriously.

After speaking, she tried to stand up.

But the moment she stood up, dizziness overwhelmed her, and she nearly fell, but Yan Lin quickly supported her, lifting her in his arms.

"What are you doing?" Chu Baihan looked up, struggling with effort.

But Yan Lin spoke sternly, "This Prince has regained his strength; I can take you out now."

"You’re still injured; do you not care about your life?" Chu Baihan said anxiously.

"Can you move? Didn’t you just say, if we stay any longer, and are discovered, neither of us can leave?"

Yan Lin lowered his gaze, looked at her, and said seriously.

His words successfully silenced Chu Baihan.

She could only stay quietly in his arms, allowing him to carry her, step by step towards the stairs.

Before leaving, Chu Baihan couldn’t help but look back at the coffin area.

But in a daze, she seemed to see a pair of eyes staring at her.

When she opened her eyes again, there was nothing there.

She frowned, puzzled, wondering if the Illusion Array had affected her too much, still giving her hallucinations?

This stone staircase was long, and although Yan Lin was injured, his hands were very steady as he held her.

Feeling the warmth coming from his body, Chu Baihan was momentarily confused, as if they had returned to the feeling of old times.

Not knowing how long they had walked, they finally saw light again.

They were back in the National Treasury.

"Do you think there’s a lot in the National Treasury?" Yan Lin suddenly asked her this.

"Yes," Chu Baihan nodded faintly.

The Yan Country National Treasury indeed seemed to be much more lavish than the National Treasury of Nanduan Kingdom.

"Yet my father is not satisfied; he still wants to acquire the treasure," Yan Lin said sarcastically.

Treasure?

What did he mean by that?

Chu Baihan’s brows furrowed, her expression puzzled.

Just as she was about to ask for clarification, a frantic voice from the Imperial Army came from outside: "Quick, a assassin has appeared in the palace; let no corner go unchecked, search everywhere."
