A player on Mount Hua starts by obtaining the Prism color entry.

With a whoosh, more than a dozen flying stones shot out like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, possessing an unparalleled aesthetic appeal. They struck the black-clad man's vital points before they could strike, their internal force penetrating his meridians and killing him on the spot.

With a flicker, when he was seen again, he was already carrying Yaoyue in his arms, running towards the deep mountains and forests.

The men in black weren't unwilling to give up, but none of them could stand up. Each one was fatally struck with pinpoint accuracy on a vital point, occasionally pierced through the forehead; they were all utterly dead.

In a dilapidated hut in the distance, a short, lewd-looking man named Wei Wuya sat in a wheelchair, staring at the handsome monk in front of him with a livid expression.

"You promised to be my hero and save the damsel in distress, but you killed her instead!"

As Yaoyue's number one admirer, he always boasted about how he managed to escape unscathed after proposing to her at Yihua Palace. Everyone else who dared to do that died, but he survived. Doesn't that prove Yaoyue has feelings for him?

Regardless of whether he was crippled or not, let's just say whether he's still alive!

The monk Wuhua chanted a Buddhist prayer, his face expressionless: "You're too attached to appearances. How could you gain the Grand Palace Master's complete trust without a convincing performance? It was your hesitation in intervening that prevented you from playing the hero and saving the damsel in distress, wasting the precious 'Sorrowful Breeze' that I had so painstakingly obtained. Shouldn't you reflect on this?"

Damn it, is it my fault or something? I didn't react in time, and someone beat me to it!

Fearing that this stinky monk's martial arts were no less than his own, Wei Wuyuan slapped the disciple serving him across the face: "Hurry up and chase after him! That brat from the Huashan Sect has been poisoned by the Sorrowful Breeze. Even with his medical skills, he won't last long."

Monk Wuhua smiled slightly; the cooperation was mutually beneficial. He needed Lu Ming's medical skills to do something for him, and Wei Wuya needed to kidnap Yaoyue; thus, they hit it off immediately.

The speed of the Flying Catkins and Light Smoke Technique was second to none among all light-footed skills. Before they could catch up, Lu Ming and his companion had already disappeared from sight.

Hidden among the towering mountains are poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. The lack of human habitation is not because people do not want to live there, but because they cannot.

Poisonous snakes and insects crawl into the house in one's sleep, and one never wakes up again. When hunting, one may encounter attacks from tigers and grizzly bears, and when trying to gather wild fruits and vegetables to fill one's stomach, one is unaware that they contain deadly poisons.

The Sichuan region is characterized by high mountains and dense forests, with towering peaks and deep valleys that deter many from venturing into the area.

In her dazed state, Yaoyue only heard the whistling wind. As night fell, unable to circulate her internal energy, a chill crept in, making her shiver uncontrollably. Without her internal energy, she was no different from an ordinary, weak woman.

When she woke up again, she found herself being held in someone's arms. She was filled with shame and indignation and tried to struggle, but found herself powerless. A sense of dread filled her; had she been defiled?

"Don't move!"

Lu Ming's voice came through, and he reached out to gently stroke her smooth, white forehead before taking her wrist to check her pulse: "The poison from Bei Su Qing Feng is still there; it seems it cannot be eliminated naturally over time."

Yaoyue gave an impatient snort, then her face flushed red with shame and indignation: "Move your dagger away."

"Don't worry about the details. If you don't react while holding a beautiful woman, then you're probably a eunuch. It's a pity I'm not a eunuch. Do you still want to get rid of this poison? Call me 'good brother,' and I'll help you."

Lu Ming chuckled mockingly. He wasn't going to be a simp. If he had to choose between Yaoyue and Lianxing, he would definitely choose Lianxing. She was beautiful and kind-hearted, and when the time came, she would even take the initiative to arrange for her husband to take a concubine, so he wouldn't have to lift a finger. Such a good woman would definitely be a virtuous wife and loving mother!

Hearing the almost flirtatious words, she should have been happy to be praised for her beauty, but Yaoyue's already displeased heart erupted in fury. Her eyes were cold as she stared at the other person, vowing to kill this shameless thief as soon as she recovered!

Seeing Yaoyue remain silent, Lu Ming found it amusing. She had been aloof, arrogant, and domineering before, but now she had become a clawless tigress.

Since she wouldn't speak, Lu Ming ignored her and picked up the roasted bee pupae, eating them bite by bite. The rich, fresh aroma wafted through the cave, and paired with a sip of ginger and fresh fish soup, there was no greater delicacy in the world.

From noon until late at night, I haven't had a drop of water, and my stomach is completely empty. Even as a grandmaster, I still need to eat and drink, and I am far from achieving the state of fasting.

She tried to ignore it, but her stomach rumbled loudly. Enraged, Yaoyue's expression changed; her eyes lowered, a barely perceptible hint of shame flashing across them.

The dignified Grand Mistress of Yihua Palace had fallen to such a state. She hated the black-clad men who had poisoned her, and she also hated this despicable and shameless thief. If he had obediently gone back with her to treat Lianxing, would this have happened?

She didn't think she was wrong; the fault lay with others, with the world.

Her aloofness was unparalleled. Because the man she loved eloped with a maid from the Yihua Palace, she flew into a rage and hunted him down. She even abandoned the maid's two children to raise in different places, and later ordered Hua Wuque, who regarded her as his mother, to kill his own brother, Xiaoyuer. How extreme was that?

Lu Ming deliberately waved the fresh and crispy roasted bee pupae in front of her a few times, the aroma further arousing her appetite: "Do you want to eat? If you don't eat, you won't have the strength. The lingering fragrance of the roasted bee pupae will not dissipate, and when they come after you, you, the Grand Palace Master, will be in trouble."

Yaoyue's phoenix eyes widened in anger, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Bah! You shameless little thief, you're no better than me! The Huashan Sect produced such a shameless and despicable villain like you. I want to ask Yue Buqun how he teaches his disciples! I'd rather die here or outside than eat a single bite of your food!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a roasted bee pupa was shoved into her mouth. She wanted to spit it out, but it was forcibly forced back down. Her stunningly beautiful face suddenly turned frosty with anger, her brows furrowed, and her rage could not conceal her captivating beauty. However, she had nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only take a big bite of the bee pupa to vent her frustration.

To be fair, this stuff is actually quite delicious. As long as you don't have any reservations, it's definitely a great outdoor delicacy.

After feeding him, Yaoyue turned her head away from the despicable little thief's wicked grin: "Can you cure the Sad Breeze?"

"Sure, as long as they're not dead and still have a breath left, I can bring them back to life. You're planning to have me treat the Second Princess, right? I can, but what will you offer me in return?"

Lu Ming pinched her chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze: "You know that Uncle Dong is very happy to come and ask him to practice medicine, but he doesn't like the way you spoke just now."

Yaoyue suddenly opened her mouth to bite him, but he pinched her lips first. Anger, helplessness, and an inability to let go of her pride shattered her thirty years of cultivating the Supreme Emotionlessness. Tears streamed from her eyes, and she began to sob silently.

The strong woman's defenses were broken!

Lu Ming didn't try to persuade her; he couldn't be bothered. To deal with arrogant women, you had to shatter their self-righteous pride. Only by dismantling their worldview could they truly accept new things from the heart.

After a long while, Yaoyue finally raised her head, her beautiful face filled with murderous intent: "I will kill you sooner or later! Ugh!"

Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief; she had actually been forcibly kissed!

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

"Kill me, and you'll be a widow. Let you be arrogant, let you be cocky!"

Lu Ming raised his head smugly; he wasn't so despicable as to attack a woman who couldn't even kill a chicken. If she was poisoned by the aphrodisiac and needed an antidote, that would be saving a life—a meritorious act!

A ripple stirred within her usually calm heart, unnoticed even by Yaoyue. Accustomed to her domineering and assertive nature, she looked down upon men who were subservient to her, deeming them spineless and unworthy of her attention.

Although this petty thief is despicable, at least he is upright and honest, which is barely acceptable.
