Chapter 286 The Peach Blossom's Delight
When Ye Ru appeared in the little girl's sight, she was obviously stunned for a moment, but then a look of panic appeared on her face.
The two ferocious tigers instinctively took two steps back when they saw Ye Ru appear in the shadows in the distance, but then their faces turned fierce, ready to strike at any moment.
Ye Ru narrowed his eyes. Although he was somewhat surprised, he had no time to think too much in the face of the threat posed by the two tigers.
The next moment, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, the arrow carrying a rather fierce energy, and pointed it at the two tigers. The two sharp arrows, carrying a powerful momentum, were launched in an instant.
puff puff!
The force of the arrows sent the two ferocious tigers hurtling towards a distant rock. The rock shattered instantly, and both tigers died.
"solved."
Having dealt with the four tigers, Ye Ru visibly breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he saw the injury on the little girl's arm, his brow furrowed.
"Young lady, why are you here?"
"Who are you? You can't hurt me!"
The little girl was clearly exhausted. She staggered backward, leaned against a rock, and stared with wide eyes as she spoke.
These words stunned Ye Ru, who was both amused and exasperated, as he had just saved her.
"I will not harm you. May I ask your name, young lady?"
Ye Ru repeated himself, but did not move forward.
Seemingly sensing that Ye Ru meant no harm, the young girl pondered for a moment before saying:
“Yaoyao, that’s the name my father gave me. He said it was taken from the poem in the Book of Songs, ‘The peach tree is young and tender, its blossoms are bright and beautiful.’”
"Excuse me, but you seem to be injured?"
Ye Ru nodded, but then spoke again, saying that although the injury was not too serious, if it was left exposed here without protection, it would probably bleed uncontrollably and become weak.
"I know it's okay, I can manage on my own."
Yao Yao shook her head. Before she could finish speaking, Ye Ru quickly walked in and grabbed her arm:
"Let me heal your wounds. I happen to know some medical knowledge."
After saying that, he took out the medical classic "Qing Nang Zi Shu" and began to recite it.
As his lips moved, streams of green healing light surged toward Yao Yao's brow, and the wounds on her arm visibly healed rapidly.
"Young man, do you know how to cure illnesses?"
When Yao Yao saw that her injuries had completely healed, she pouted, but then became happy, as if she saw that Ye Ru had a glimmer of hope.
"I know a little bit, what's wrong?"
Ye Ru asked, puzzled.
"My uncle is injured, could you please treat him?"
Suddenly, Yao Yao said shyly, completely unlike her previous brash self.
"Uncle?"
Ye Ru was taken aback and said:
"where is it?"
"It's a bit far; we have to cross this mountain."
Yao Yao pointed to a mountain range in the distance and said.
"let me see."
Ye Ru pondered for a moment. He would have to return to his military tent soon, and if Chen Tianjian couldn't find him, it would be troublesome.
Moreover, although the demon race has withdrawn its troops, the crisis has not been eliminated, and who knows if they will make a comeback?
"is it okay……"
Yao Yao held Ye Ru's hand and said in a coquettish tone, which made him both amused and exasperated. Finally, he nodded and said:
"Okay, then we need to hurry."
Immediately afterward, Ye Ru and Yao Yao left the place. However, after they left, two men in black robes appeared at the location where Ye Ru had shot and killed the four wild beasts.
They stood on the tree trunk, their gazes filled with a coldness. Then one of them jumped down, approached a tiger, grabbed some soil, and sniffed it, saying:
“That little girl came here, and she didn’t go very far.”
"So what do we do? Should we give chase?"
Another man in black robes spoke in a hoarse voice.
"We definitely have to chase after her. She is very important to us, and we can't let her get away. However, she is seriously injured, and in theory, these four wild beasts shouldn't be able to kill her, even if she is from that tribe."
The leader of the men in black pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Could it be that someone is helping us?"
"Impossible, that follower has already been wounded by us. Let's go, we'll give chase. Or it's the Northern Army. Go back and give those orders..."
The leader of the men in black whispered something to another man in black robes.
"I understand. Whether they are the Northern Army or not, perhaps we can..."
After saying that, their bodies disappeared from the spot once again.
Under the starry sky at night, Ye Ru told Chen Tianjian and headed to another mountain range. Ye Ru trusted Yao Yao because he didn't sense any demonic energy on her, only a pure aura.
"Where did you come from? This place is surrounded by mountains, and there seems to be no way out."
Halfway there, Ye Ru suddenly asked.
"I'm from..."
Yao Yao thought for a while, but then hesitated, as if she had something difficult to say.
"It's okay if you can't talk about it. After I take a look at your uncle's injuries, I'll see if they can be treated and healed. Then you can go back as soon as possible."
Seeing that Yao Yao didn't want to talk, Ye Ru sighed, but he had more doubts about this girl.
With Ye Ru traveling at full speed, they soon arrived at a cave.
“My uncle is inside. Come on, I’ll take you there.”
Yao Yao took Ye Ru's hand and walked inside.
"Uncle Ao, I'm back."
Yao Yao and Ye Ru entered the cave. On a bluestone slab, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes lay, looking extremely weak, but still conscious.
"Yaoyao, who is this?"
The middle-aged man slightly opened his eyelids, and after seeing Ye Ru, a strange look appeared on his face, but he quickly returned to normal and said.
"This is the doctor I invited for you, Brother Ye Ru. Can he cure my uncle's illness?"
Yao Yao looked at Ye Ru with a pleading expression.
"I'll try."
Ye Ru walked in, took the middle-aged man's wrist, closed his eyes and checked the latter's pulse. As time passed, a strange expression appeared on his face, as if he had discovered some secret of the other party. When the middle-aged man saw the strange expression on Ye Ru's face, he hurriedly withdrew his hand.
"He's been poisoned, and the poisoning is quite severe. It's probably been going on for several months. If it had been another month, even a miracle wouldn't have been able to save him."
Ye Ru frowned slightly and said.
He sensed a pulse different from that of a human from the middle-aged man's pulse, which puzzled him greatly.
"Is there really no other way?"
Yao Yao said.
"There is a way, but it's just too difficult, and that is..."
After speaking, Ye Ru raised his head, looked at the middle-aged man, and, without paying any attention to the latter's changing expression, said, word by word:
"We need the blood of a legitimate royal family of the dragon race!"
