"We will split up at the junction ahead, thus I need to give you the antidote." She lightly frowned, she had to give them so that they can take them back to her brother.
"We will think of something.." he had responded when they felt a huge cyclone moving in their direction.
"Get down. " She cautioned them before standing on the dragon's back and balancing herself before she began controlling the water bodies.
Motioning her fingers, created a long open tunnel where they swam forward steadily while the cyclone hit the other water layer.
The sea was in turmoil as several sea creatures quacked while escaping for the safest route.
In the forest, Lin Juan had prepared some beef porridge and it was ready, he served her some before pouring some into his bowl.
He passed the bowl to her, "here, be careful... it's still hot." He gave her a warm smile.
She smiled back sweetly before receiving the bowl and began cooling the soup down while she ate.
She was starved, it's been many months in the wild forest and she survived only on wild fruits.
"No need to hurry, there's more." He lightly cautioned her after seeing how she was feasting on that soup in hurry.
She smiled embarrassedly before she toned down her pace, she didn't him to have a bad image of her.
In the Valley, the angry mob burned the house down into ashes.
"The witch is dead.."
"The witch is dead.."
They had just echoed when they suddenly heard loud wails.. it sounded like many children crying.
"The witch is still alive..."
"It's still alive..."
"Wuuuhhh.. wuuuhhhh.." the wails got louder and more frightening, since it was past midnight and it was heading to morning, it was totally scary to hear a baby crying in that darkness.
The angry mob ran away without looking back, no one was brave enough to stand.
They thought they had burned the witch down but no, it was the house they had only burned.
The wails got louder and shrieking while the villagers ran in different directions.
In the Camp, Scorpion and the entire crew of soldiers finally returned to the Camp only to find people drunk and laying on top of the tables.
Scorpion approached Ming Xie who seemed to be totally intoxicated, he nudged her shoulders gently.
She didn't budge but rather pushed his hands away from disturbing her sleep.
"Ming Xie.." he bent down and whispered across her ear, she lifted her head and glanced at him with her misty eyes.
"Scorpion.." she pursed her lips while she tried to open her eyes wide so that she could see clearly.
"You are drunk." He lightly frowned before picking her up and carrying her away, midway he halted in his footsteps.
"You can celebrate.." the pot was so huge and there was a lot of wine that was still remaining.
The soldiers smiled gleefully and began drinking, it was a merry time, others offered to cook while others assisted them.
Some shadow guards assisted Lin Fai, Zhou Feng, Zhou Ling, Zhou Zhei, Eagle, Luo Thu, and others who were drunk back to their resting quarters.
In the Tang clan, Concubine Sia was just there by her son's side watching him dazedly, she wondered what if he never woke up and what she would do, the first prince also accompanied her.
"What if he never wakes up.." she couldn't stop herself from crying at the thought of her son not waking up.
"Just be positive that he will wake up, if not we will think of another possible means." He comforted her as he glanced at the seventh prince who was laying there peacefully.
In the Qing Kingdom, things had turned worse and the entire Kingdom was being wiped out little by little.
King Wang couldn't shield nor protect the borders from the intruders, he already saw the ending but what else could he do? He didn't have any neighbors he would ask for assistance.
"King Wang, they are heading to the palace.." the captain knelt and kowtowed respectfully before reporting.
" Sigh, do we have any other solution? " He wondered if the Kingdom will be destroyed just like that.
" We can let the citizens go down to the secret chambers and then we can think of what to do next, but we can shield the palace and other places, I will think of a way to hold them back until the other soldiers at the borders comes back. " He expressed his thoughts and the King nodded his head giving him a go-ahead.
" Thank you, your majesty.. " the Captain scurried away in a hurry as he couldn't delay.
King Wang slumped down onto his chair, he caressed his head which was now full of white hair, it had just taken him several days to age like this, and his health had also begun deteriorating.
"Sigh, my dear Kingdom." He mumbled bitterly as he gazed into space dazedly.
Wu Xue and Wang Lin have been traveling day and night, they were still so far from reaching their destination.
"Let's rest first.." Princess Wu Xue pulled the reigns and suddenly stopped the horse.
They alighted as she assisted Wang Lin, even though he could control the poison, it was still dangerous as it could attack him now and then numbing some part of his body and causing a blockage.
If he didn't have the power of inner energy, by now he might have been paralyzed.
The carriage also got near the horse and thwarted before they alighted leaving only Bai Chang inside.
They found a flat grassland before settling there, while sitting and thinking of starting to meditate, Wang Lin felt his mind being attacked and he was familiar with this aura.
"Mistress..." He exclaimed loudly, he hadn't talked to her for quite some time.
"Wang Lin, how are you?" She controlled his mind from a distance and she could easily communicate with him.
"I'm fine." He was happy he got to talk to his mistress after so long time apart.
"Does the poison attack you often?"
"No, mistress.. it attacks at intervals.."
"Did you find Wu Xue, is she with you?" She was really worried for that little girl.
"Yes I found her, she is with me.. did you find the antidote?" This was the most important thing.
" Yeah I did, watch out.. there's something wrong around your surroundings. " She cut down the communication while Wang Lin suddenly snapped his eyes open.
" Watch out.. " he cautioned them as he stood up and began gawking around their surroundings.
He suddenly felt a strong aura that was moving in their direction, he knew he couldn't fight this one.
