"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 166

 Xiao Yi Chen admired the scenery to the side, holding Ji Ling Xue's hand, his mood was very good, the mountains of Dayan were steep, pine trees stood tall, layers of white snow covered their peaks, shining and sparkling translucently.

Ji Ling Xue raised her hand and pointed at a small purple flower blooming on a small crack on the precipice: "Such a pretty flower at the beginning of spring, so pretty."

Xiao Yi Chen followed Ji Ling Xue's finger and looked at it nodding: "Do you like it?" As he spoke he let go of Ji Ling Xue's hand, jumping up, he picked that purple flower and stood in front of Ji Ling Xue, he had completed this in a blink, moving like clouds and flowing water.

Ji Ling Xue blinked, she only said the flower looked pretty, Xiao Yi Chen didn't have to be so speedy in picking it?

Seeing Ji Ling Xue didn't take it, Xiao Yi Chen stuck the flower in his hand in her hair, nodding his head: "En, very pretty." It wasn't clear if he was speaking of the flower or the person.

Ji Ling Xue laughed, her smile had just bloomed when it stiffened.

Seeing Ji Ling Xue in a daze, Xiao Yi Chen poked the tip of Ji Ling Xue's nose and smiled: "What is it? Are you angry from me praising you?"

Ji Ling Xue collected herself, shaking her head, "Nothing, we've been out here for some time, we ought to go back, on such a gloomy day it'll rain suddenly." It wouldn't be good to get drenched and become a drowned rat.

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, with his arm around Ji Ling Xue's waist he turned and walked back, it was just as he was turning around, his right hand behind his back, a bunch of leaves flew out from the tips of his fingers, flying into the forest behind him.

The leaves in the forest behind him shook and fell, a black shadow, if Ji Ling Xue turned around now, she would have seen a person in black lying in the underbush clutching his chest in pain, there was a huge hole in the pit of his stomach, blood was gushing out, he struggled a few times, then quietly laid on the grass, eyes staring at the sky no longer moving.

This all happened very quickly, a life had faded in a turn...

Ji Ling Xue talked about what kind of wild game they would be able to eat later.

Xiao Yi Chen smiled: "You, how can you always think of eating, do you have a gluttonous worm in your stomach?"

Ji Ling Xue raised her fists saying angrily: "You dare to laugh at me, do you want a beating!"

Xiao Yi Chen smiled avoiding Ji Ling Xue white fists, Ji Ling Xue chased after him, Xiao Yi Chen laughed as he jogged, laugher and cheer lingering in their path.

When Xiao Yi Chen and Ji Ling Xue returned to camp, the secret guards had come back with prey, they had also started a fire to roast the meat, Bai Mo held a fan in his hand inciting the fire in front of him, all of a sudden a black smoke cloud covered Bai Mo's face, choking him he began to cough.

Bai Mo used his wide sleeves to fan it away while muttering to himself: "Cough, cough, cough...it seemed easy for the princess to roast meat, why is it so different when it comes to me, I almost choked to death..."

While Bai Mo was taking in deep breaths of fresh air he saw Xiao Yi Chen and Ji Ling Xue return side by side, he immediately straightened up, putting on a calm smile he approached Xiao Yi Chen, "You've finally returned, the meat has been roasted, if you didn't come back now it'll all be gone?"

This was all a joke, without Xiao Yi Chen's princess, who dared to eat first.

Ji Ling Xue approached Bai Mo sniffing, she smiled: "Miracle doctor Bai, why is there a burnt smell on you..."

Bai Mo's face turned red, he took a few steps back coughing: "Princess your nose isn't very sensitive, I only have the scent of herbs on me, how can there be a burnt smell, I won't talk to you anymore..." He turned, wanting to say something.

From nearby a guard holding a dark and swarthy thing rushed to Bai Mo: "Miracle doctor, your meat has been burnt!"

That guard's voice was very clear and loud, everyone in the camp heard, the next moment everyone roared with laughter echoing through the mountain.

Not long after dinner a fine rain continued, the spring rain was like threads of silk, light and delicate, it was like a damp mist, shapeless, and soundless, gently moistening the ground, it was very moist in the air, it was cold at night the rain was also cold.

In the camp, Ji Ling Xue and Xiao Yi Chen sat opposite each other, not sleepy at all.

Suddenly a ball of fire passed through the hazy curtain of rain falling on the wood fence the guards had built, with a bang the entire thing was ablaze, soon after there was a second ball of fire, a third followed closely, falling on the camp without any fear of the spring rain, the flag was set on fire then there was another ball of fire.

"Damn it, I only just fell asleep, why is the sky raining fireballs!" Bai Mo jumped up, grabbing his clothes he ran outside the tent, he had just run out when the entire tent was engulfed in flames, the spring rain continued, sparks flying about with no intentions of burning out.

Bai Mo grabbed his head in confusion, his body moved and avoided a fire ball aimed in his direction, the secret guards didn't care about the burning camp, surrounding Xiao Yi Chen's tent, holding up swords and waiting for action.

Ji Ling Xue and Xiao Yi Chen walked out of the tent, at this moment the fire balls had stopped, a group of people in black noiselessly appeared from nowhere, the swords in their hands shown coldly in the night, both sides were soon fighting at close quarters.

Ji Ling Xue was protected very well by the secret guards, she had been observing these men in black, Xiao Yi Chen was the most powerful, killing one person every five steps, killing three people in ten steps, leaving behind a trail of blood.

Ji Ling Xue's eyes fell on the trees close by, noticing the flash of coldness, "Damn it!"

Ji Ling Xue silently cried out, rushing away from the protective circle towards Xiao Yi Chen.

Some of the secret guards protecting Ji Ling Xue were fighting against the men in black, when would they have expected Ji Ling Xue who knew no martial arts would suddenly run out, some of the men in black made a move against Ji Ling Xue, Ji Ling Xue raised her hand scattering poisonous powder, irritating them that they took a few steps back.

Taking advantage of this moment, Ji Ling Xue ran to Xiao Yi Chen's side, picking up his hand she ran, Xiao Yi Chen wasn't clear what was happening, seeing Ji Ling Xue run he also ran, on their way they came across a few men in black, Xiao Yi Chen dealt with them with a wave of his sword.

The secret guards saw Ji Ling Xue run off with Xiao Yi Chen, they also withdrew from the fight.

They didn't get very far, when there was a deafening rumble from behind them, Xiao Yi Chen turned to look, where there camp had been flames were flying everywhere, bits of rock swirled in the air, his eyes chilled.

Xiao Yi Chen, "He even used flint, Yuchi Gong Ru really put in a lot of effort."

Ji Ling Xue coughed: "Facing such a great character as you, of course some effort has to be put in."

Xiao Yi Chen's lips twitched, turning to look at Ji Ling Xue, her eyes reflected the flames, warming his heart.

Xiao Yi Chen asked: "How did you know our camp was in danger?"

Using flint to bombard them, he really didn't expect it, he had also only heard of flint, it was a stone that if thrown from far away it would cause sparks, luckily Ji Ling Xue had pulled him away, otherwise even if he had ten lives he would have been buried in a sea of fire.

Ji Ling Xue said: "I just saw Yuchi Gong Ru, it was in the trees behind us." As she spoke, Ji Ling Xue pointed, "These men in black were only sacrificial soldiers to hinder us, the big move was the flint."

Xiao Yi Chen nodded not stopping, he put Ji Ling Xue onto his back and hurried on using light martial arts, the secret guards followed after closely, those flints loudly exploded behind them, flames flying everywhere.

Rushing through the night, Xiao Yi Chen and the others found a cave to rest, even if Yuchi Gong Ru had a lot of flint, he couldn't continue to bombard them through the night.

Ji Ling Xue took the water pouch from around her waist passing it to Xiao Yi Chen, "Drink some water."

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, not looking worried at all, taking the pouch from Ji Ling Xue he took a sip then passed it to Ji Ling Xue: "Based on Yuchi Gong Ru's fortune, we're on a cliff face right now, if we go up there'll be Yuchi Gong Ru's flint balls, what if we went down?"

Ji Ling Xue shrugged, "Prince wants to lure Yuchi Gong Ru out?"

Xiao Yi Chen shook his head, this wasn't it, he had been poking at Yuchi Gong Ru since he's been in Dayan, it was beyond reasonable for Yuchi Gong Ru to seek revenge on him, now he had also been put on house arrest by the old emperor of Dayan, it was easy for him to get away, it was hard to avoid a tough fight, only the winner and loser isn't decided on who has flints.

Xiao Yi Chen said: "Xue Er, being chased after with this prince, are you afraid?"

Ji Ling Xue shrug her shoulders, her eyes sparkling, she was used to such excitement of running for her life.

Ji Ling Xue smiled: "We're not so tragic, Yuchi Gong Ru is the one who is in a bad position, he is suffering from a very serious and strange poison, he can only drink virgin blood to alleviate the symptoms, it's tough for him to chase after us with such ailments."

The poison she had scattered at the camp wasn't for fun, Yuchi Gong Ru probably shouldn't get close to it, otherwise he'll be poisoned with something else, it must be so painful.

"Achoo!" 

At this moment somewhere in the mountain, Yuchi Gong Ru leaned against a tree, raising his head he looked at the marble white colour of the dawn sky, red clouds floated at the summit of the mountain, the sun slowly rose, the first ray of sunshine broke through the darkness, making the dew drops on the grass sparkle, the sun fell on his face, his face was however ash grey.

That's right, he had been poisoned, just now after the explosion, he had chased after Xiao Yi Chen and Ji Ling Xue, wanting to blow them up into minced meat, he didn't think with the north wind, a strange odour was carried over, he had thought it was the smell from the exploded flint, but later he felt there was something wrong, his steps became heavy, gradually he couldn't keep up with them, afterwards he felt his entire body weaken, he could only send his men ahead while he looked for a quiet place to rest.

Two hours passed, four hours passed, Yuchi Gong Ru only felt his inner forces rushing about, causing havoc to his five viscera and six bowels, at first he could control it with inner martial arts, after a while he felt the poison he was supressing acting up again.

Sadly he didn't have a virgin girl to hand to act as his antidote, Yuchi Gong Ru clenched his fists, bearing his teeth he said: "Ji Ling Xue...you poisoned this prince again!"

When he thought of that wicked woman, Yuchi Gong Ru fumed with rage, he only became like this all because of that woman, the men who had been sent after Xiao Yi Chen returned to Yuchi Gong Ru, saying in shame: "Third prince...they...disappeared..."

Yuchi Gong Ru raised the sword by his side pointing it at the head guard who said this, scaring him so much he knelt down begging for forgiveness, "Third prince please forgive me."

Yuchi Gong Ru said: "What do you mean they disappeared...there's more than ten of them, do they know how to vanish into the ground?"
