"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 141

 Lian Xin stepped forward, lowering her head to look at Bai Mo's palm, then raising her head she explained: "Just now, a grey finger wide bug from that flower drilled into your palm." The person it happened to surprisingly didn't feel anything at all, this was very strange.

Xiao Yi Chen immediately struck the main acupuncture points on Bai Mo's back, saying profoundly: "Let me use inner martial arts to force it out, it seems there's still time." He had never seen such an odd and strange bug, and could be a very special bug.

Lian Xin nervously watched Xiao Yi Chen help Bai Mo force the poison out with inner marital arts, however Bai Mo was relaxed and at ease: "Don't worry, I try poisons all year round, there's thousands of poisons in my body, even if this bug is a poisonous bug I won't die, my life isn't in its hand!"

Xiao Yi Chen didn't respond, his hand was pressed against Bai Mo's back, conveying a steady flow of inner martial arts moving inside Bai Mo's body, travelling everywhere, through his four limbs and the hundreds of bones, time passed slowly, Xiao Yi Chen gradually closed his eyes.

Ji Ling Xue and Lian Xin stood to the side keeping watch, after a quarter of an hour, sweat gradually appeared on Bai Mo's forehead, the greyness in his palm faded.

Xiao Yi Chen opened his eyes, complexion as white as a sheet, he retracted his hand: "Bai Mo, how do you feel?"

Bai Mo looked at his palm, smiling: "I'm fine."

Xiao Yi Chen laughed: "That's good."

Xiao Yi Chen swayed, caught by Bai Mo, his fingers pressed on Xiao Yi Chen's wrist, "Rest a while, we'll wait and then leave."

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, finding a place to sit cross-legged he sat meditating to recover, temporarily he couldn't leave.

Ji Ling Xue rubbed her stomach, she hadn't eaten the entire day, with nothing to do she really felt hungry.

Ji Ling Xue looked at Bai Mo: "Are there any rations?"

Bai Mo looked around in his bamboo basket, finding half a very hard flat cake he handed it to Ji Ling Xue, Ji Ling Xue took a bite, the cake didn't break, Ji Ling Xue curled her lips in distain: "Is this cake, its as hard as a rock!" She threw it back at Bai Mo when she was done speaking.

Bai Mo tapped on the outside of the cake, stuffing it back into the bamboo basket: "Having something to eat is good, yet you're still being picky, you think you're in the prince's residence with all the delicacies you can choose from?"

Lian Xin said: "You're really a princess?" She never thought a princess could meet with misfortune, escaping for their lives together.

Ji Ling Xue nodded, "What princess, that's only a title, don't look at me like that, see how much I've fallen to only eat dried flat cake."

Lian Xin laughed: "Aren't there many wolf corpses on the waist of the mountain, let's bring a wolf back, wolf skin can be used to make clothes to keep warm, the meat can fill our stomachs."

Ji Ling Xue sighed, it was so far, she was so hungry right now she felt dizzy, she had no strength to run.

Her gaze fell on Bai Mo, Bai Mo's heart leapt, pointing at himself he said: "Great aunt, you want me to run errands?" He wasn't her guard...

Ji Ling Xue looked like she was in the right: "You're the only one who knows martial arts here, if you don't go who will?"

Bai Mo glanced at Xiao Yi Chen, resigned to his fate he nodded, turned and left.

Only Ji Ling Xue, Xiao Yi Chen and Lian Xin were left in the cave, Lian Xin leaned on the stone table looking closely at the blooming transparent flower, she couldn't help ask Ji Ling Xue, "This flower is so pretty, sadly you can only look and not touch, it shouldn't be a medicinal flower."

Ji Ling Xue picked up a stone from the ground: "Such a strange thing, it's better to destroy it, avoid harming others." As she spoke she raised the stone up high planning to smash the transparent flower, Lian Xin jumped in shock, quickly moving away to avoid being splashed by the flower.

With a bang the stone table shook, the stone turned the transparent flower to sud, a blue liquid slowly flowed along the cracks of the table.

Lian Xin cried out in alarm, "So strange, this flower is clearly transparent, how can the liquid inside be blue."

Ji Ling Xue also tilted her head to look closer out of curiosity, a shadow enveloped them from behind, they however were completely unaware of the danger approaching, still looking at the crushed transparent flower with curiosity.

Lian Xin said: "Could this stone table be some kind of mechanism, why is there only one transparent flower on it?"

Ji Ling Xue nodded: "You're right." As she spoke she looked at the stone on the table.

Lian Xin only felt a chill on her neck, she turned to look, shrieking in fear.

Ji Ling Xue who heard this also turned around, only seeing Xiao Yi Chen who was still meditating before, noiselessly standing behind them, his former black bright eyes were now flashing a strange blue, like a spirit from the nether world, making people feel cold to the core.

Ji Ling Xue said: "Xiao Yi Chen...are you alright?"

Xiao Yi Chen didn't respond, suddenly raising a palm to strike Lian Xin in the chest, Lian Xin flew with a cry, heavily hitting the cave wall, spatting out a mouthful of blood.

"Xiao Yi Chen what's wrong, why did you hit Lian Xin?" Ji Ling Xue angrily said, running over to help Lian Xin up, checking over her injuries, sadly Lian Xin suffered from internal injuries, it simply couldn't be seen, she looked rather dazzled, a trace of blood around her lips, smiling at Ji Ling Xue she then fainted.

"A man who hits women really isn't human." Ji Ling Xue angrily glared at Xiao Yi Chen, only then did she notice Xiao Yi Chen's other odd behaviours, his gaze was fixed on crushed transparent flower on the stone table, expression rather sorrowful, kind of like when a rabbit dies the fox grieves.

Ji Ling Xue: E...Xiao Yi Chen has been possessed? 

She had heard a rumour, there was a flower called corpse flower in tombs or caves, the flower bloomed transparent, faultless and fair, stunning to look at, once someone touches the flower, the corpse poison in the flower would invade that person's body, that person will turn stiff, without expression, like a zombie, like to drink people's blood, ruthless.

Ji Ling Xue looked at Xiao Yi Chen who was still staring at the stone table, her heart thumping.

She put Lian Xin down and stood up looking straight at Xiao Yi Chen asking: "Prince, do you know who I am?" She deliberately softened her voice, reminding Xiao Yi Chen of his status and hers.

Xiao Yi Chen slowly turned his head to look in Ji Ling Xue's direction, his movements were rather awkward, like someone was pulling a string on top of his head, movements slow and mechanical.

Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, meeting Xiao Yi Chen's eyes her heart thumped, her hand was behind her back, holding a sharp stone, Xiao Yi Chen moved quicker than her, five fingers forming a claw he reached for Ji Ling Xue, Ji Ling Xue threw the stone at Xiao Yi Chen, like a squid she squirmed out from under Xiao Yi Chen's arm.

With a dull thud, a hole was made in Xiao Yi Chen's forehead, two lines of blood flowed down his forehead, it looked especially horrifying with mud mixed in.

Ji Ling Xue didn't think her random throwing would lead to Xiao Yi Chen's head being cracked open, a trace of guilt in her eyes, then her throat tightened, Ji Ling Xue struggled to push Xiao Yi Chen's face away, not letting his teeth touch her.

The two of them rolled about on the ground, Ji Ling Xue was limited in strength, how was she on equal footing with the martial artist Xiao Yi Chen, Ji Ling Xue raised her leg aiming at Xiao Yi Chen's crotch, finally Xiao Yi Chen let go.

Ji Ling Xue struggled to stand, running out of the cave, cursing Bai Mo for causing all this trouble, he was fine but Xiao Yi Chen who healed him had been poisoned instead.

How come he wasn't back yet from picking up a wolf's corpse from the mountain?

Behind her a large hand grabbed Ji Ling Xue's collar lifting her up, Ji Ling Xue waved her arms and feet crying desperately without tears, "Ah...don't...don't..."

Ji Ling Xue only felt her feet leave the ground even more, Xiao Yi Chen really was good at martial arts, he had just used one strike to send Lian Xin flying and spit out blood, if he ruthlessly smashed her to the ground, wouldn't she break into pieces...

She howled in grief: Xiao Yi Chen, prince Chen, lord Xiao you...wuwu, let me go, I won't kick you again, you also shouldn't smash me up in retribution!

What she wanted appeared, the large hand holding her let go, Ji Ling Xue only felt herself fall down, when her head was about to touch the ground, it was so quiet like time had stopped, her body was still in the air, her ankle was actually held  by Xiao Yi Chen, that's why her head was upside down swaying side to side.

Ji Ling Xue turned her head, "Xiao Yi Chen..."

Xiao Yi Chen was still staring, his eyes flashing green, once again throwing Ji Ling Xue into the air, Ji Ling Xue screamed in fear, Bai Mo rushed into the cave, catching the falling Ji Ling Xue, "What happened?" He had only been outside for a little bit, how could it descend to massacring each other?

Ji Ling Xue's eyes glared at Bai Mo like a knife, "You're asking me, I need to ask you why Xiao Yi Chen has suddenly gone mad and lost his humanity?"

Bai Mo's lips twitched, Xiao Yi Chen's large hand moved, Bai Mo's back felt pain, staggering forward he put Ji Ling Xue on the ground, then turned to deal with Xiao Yi Chen, he raised his hand, a black pill appearing in his hand, while Xiao Yi Chen's mouth was open he threw it in.

Xiao Yi Chen halted in his attack, hand holding his throat, confusion on his face, irritated, Ji Ling Xue picked up a stone from the ground and stood up hitting the back of Xiao Yi Chen's head, let's see if I can't knock you out? 

Thus Xiao Yi Chen fainted clutching his throat, Bai Mo's lips twitched, this woman really was ruthless...murdering her own husband?

Xiao Yi Chen fell to the ground, Ji Ling Xue sat on the ground limply, "Quickly see what's wrong with him? Lian Xin passed out from his fierce attack."

Bai Mo nodded, recovering his thoughts he took Xiao Yi Chen's pulse, confirming the pill he had given Xiao Yi Chen had been swallowed, he let out half a breath, it's good it didn't get stuck in his throat.

Bai Mo said: "His pulse is regular, there's nothing wrong, only there is a pocket of air moving around in his navel region."

Ji Ling Xue used her sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, "His eyes were flashing green just now was he possessed?"

Bai Mo shook his head, turning to look at the stone table, the table was empty apart from the blue liquid moving around, he walked over and looked for a while, picking up a needle he tested it, he took over a small porcelain bottle putting the liquid inside, then said: "There's a hallucinatory drug in the liquid, it can cause people to hallucinate."

Ji Ling Xue said: "But me and Lian Xin were here, how can we be fine but Xiao Yi Chen was affected?"

Bai Mo said: "This hallucinatory drug is useless against people without martial arts, it only targets those with martial arts, sadly that flower has been smashed up, otherwise it could have been taken for cultivation and research."
