Luo Feixue slowly woke up. The moment she opened her eyes, her face changed drastically before relaxing.
"Don't worry, those assassins chasing you are all dead!" Yang Feilong's voice rang out.
Luo Feixue took a careful look and found herself lying in the back seat of a moving car, with Yang Feilong driving. She then checked her body and discovered that several of her wounds had medicinal paste applied to them. Her face turned red, as some of the injured areas were her private parts.
"Ahem, the situation was urgent. If I didn't treat your wounds, you might have died, so... I hope you don't mind!" Yang Feilong said with a smile.
"I don't mind," Luo Feixue said, her face flushed. "That said, you no longer owe me. Why did you still save me?"
Yang Feilong fell silent for a moment before replying, "Aren't we friends?"
Luo Feixue was taken aback. Friends?
"Thank you, friend, for saving my life," Luo Feixue said gratefully.
"It was nothing," Yang Feilong said casually. "By the way, even if you've left the organization, why were you being chased?"
"It was time to return to the organization to take the antidote, and I didn't go back. Naturally, they knew I had betrayed them!" Luo Feixue sighed.
"Right, speaking of the antidote, how was the effect of the antidote I gave you?" Yang Feilong asked.
Although he was confident that the efficacy of the medicine should be appropriate, he was still worried about potential accidents, so he inquired with concern.
"Yes, it's fine now!" Luo Feixue replied.
"Right, I suddenly thought of something. Aren't you very skilled in using poisons? Did you not try to detoxify yourself before?" Yang Feilong asked.
"While my skills in using poisons are good, apart from some simple poisons, I don't even know the antidote for many potent ones. It's like I can kill but not bury! And the grade of that poison was higher than my poison refining level." Luo Feixue said with a wry smile. "Only the Poison King in the organization knows the antidote, because he concocted the poison."
"Poison King?" Yang Feilong was surprised and asked thoughtfully, "This Poison King sounds very formidable?"
"Naturally, he's formidable. Actually, I'm the Poison King's half-disciple," Luo Feixue sighed. "Because some of my poison-using techniques were taught by him!"
"How formidable is this Poison King?" Yang Feilong asked curiously.
Since he had also offended this assassin organization, Yang Feilong naturally wanted to understand more.
"I don't know how strong the Poison King is, but he's one of the organization's two protectors! He can probably poison even someone at the ninth level of ancient martial arts, can't he?" Luo Feixue said slowly, her expression solemn.
"He can even poison someone at the ninth level of ancient martial arts?" Hearing this, Yang Feilong gasped.
"This is just my speculation, but he should be that strong!" Luo Feixue said solemnly. "This is also why I hesitated before! There are too many experts in the organization. Based on some information I know, the organization should have no shortage of assassins at the ninth level of ancient martial arts, not to mention those two protectors!"
"Do you think they might find out that I helped you escape?" Yang Feilong asked, stroking his chin as he drove.
"It's possible they might find out, so you shouldn't have saved me," Luo Feixue said worriedly. "If you get implicated, it will be dangerous!"
"Could my family be implicated?" Yang Feilong asked, frowning slightly.
"Assassin organizations generally don't implicate the relatives of their targets, but this is hard to say! Because you never know what kind of personality the assassin carrying out the mission will have!" Luo Feixue said seriously.
"Is that so?" Yang Feilong fell into thought.
"However, they usually target the person directly," Luo Feixue added.
Hearing this, Yang Feilong didn't worry too much. Of course, he knew that worrying wouldn't help much. As for whether he regretted saving Luo Feixue? He didn't, because if he hadn't saved her, he would have regretted it!
"Right, since you decided to break free from the assassin organization's control before, why were you discovered so quickly?" Yang Feilong asked. "With your abilities, shouldn't it be fine to hide for three to five months, if not longer?"
Upon hearing Yang Feilong's question, Luo Feixue fell silent.
"What's wrong? Can't you say? If you can't, then forget it," Yang Feilong said.
"I was betrayed!" Luo Feixue said with a wry smile.
"Betrayed by someone?" Yang Feilong was taken aback.
"In the organization, I had someone I was on decent terms with. I originally planned to have him help me with the detoxification together, but who knew he betrayed me! He secretly notified the organization, and as a result, I was ambushed!" Luo Feixue said with a wry smile. "Fortunately, he didn't know that my strength had broken through significantly. Although the organization paid attention, the assassins sent were not strong enough, which allowed me to escape!"
"What happened to that person?" Yang Feilong asked.
"Killed!" Luo Feixue replied. "When I was ambushed, there was one Heavenly Martial realm expert, and eight Earthly Martial realm experts besides him. That person I considered a friend was also at the Earthly Martial realm. However, I killed him when I broke through!"
"Is this friend of yours male or female?" Yang Feilong asked after a moment of hesitation.
"Male!" Luo Feixue hesitated before saying. As she spoke, she cautiously glanced at Yang Feilong. However, Yang Feilong's back was turned to her, so she couldn't see his expression. She glanced at the rearview mirror and vaguely saw that Yang Feilong's expression was calm, though she didn't know if he was calm inside.
"You're so beautiful, and a man would betray you?" Yang Feilong asked after a moment of silence, unable to help himself. In his eyes, Luo Feixue possessed perfect beauty, on par with his master, a celestial beauty!
"This..." Luo Feixue's face turned a little red.
"Could it be that he liked you, confessed his feelings, and was rejected?" Yang Feilong chuckled.
"How did you know?" Luo Feixue was surprised.
Yang Feilong: "..."
"I said we should detoxify together, and he asked me to be his girlfriend and wander the world together. I refused, saying I already liked someone. He didn't say much then, and I didn't think much of it. But who knew he would turn around and sell me out!" Luo Feixue stammered.
Hearing this, Yang Feilong didn't know what to say.
Luo Feixue made it sound simple, but he figured it wasn't that straightforward.
"Perhaps when you said you liked someone, it struck him hard, and he had a 'if I can't have it, then destroy it' mentality!" Yang Feilong shrugged, then asked curiously, "By the way, who is the person you like? Do I know them? Could it be me?"
"Hmph, who I like has nothing to do with you?" Luo Feixue retorted angrily. "And you're too narcissistic!"
"Narcissistic?" Yang Feilong rubbed his nose and chuckled, "I was just joking."
"Humph!"
