The more he ordered her around, the more unwilling Ye Lingyue was to let go. With how hard she was biting his hand, the golden-masked man had no doubts that she would bite a piece of his flesh if she continued.

He grabbed Ye Lingyue’s chin and pulled her off his hand using his brute force.

Seeing Ye Lingyue opening her mouth once more to bite him again, the man did not hesitate to lean down and bite her lips.

1When their lips touched, Ye Lingyue widened her eyes and she clenched her jaw shut tightly. Their teeth collided against each other.

1Were this man’s teeth made of iron? Hissing from the pain, Ye Lingyue relaxed her jaw, only to have the golden-masked man push both sets of teeth apart.

A powerful iron taste instantly filled his mouth. The golden-masked man knew that it was the taste of his blood.

This woman was really ruthless.

What was worse? She was struggling nonstop under him.

Her body was one without experience, and he usually wouldn’t bother even looking at it. However, after the Bright Sun Ginseng poisoned him, he felt unusually tortured with how she was struggling.

The poison pulsed within him. Like the strongest aphrodisiac, the more the person used their elementary force to suppress the effect, the stronger the reaction they would have. Heat flowed towards his abdomen.

1At that moment, Ye Lingyue felt that something was wrong. The golden-masked man was hot all over, like a piece of red burning iron. His expression was also filled with pain.

In her shock, Ye Lingyue forgot to struggle. Was he poisoned?

The golden-masked man froze as a fragrant and delicious taste appeared on her lips, overpowering the taste of his blood. The fragrance, which was as refreshing as snow, trailed into his body bit by bit, tingling within him as if electric currents were flowing within. It felt oddly comfortable.

The Bright Sun Ginseng’s poison seemed to calm down slowly.

Ye Lingyue struggled with all she had, but the man’s body was as heavy as a wall.

“Hmpf—” Just as Ye Lingyue was about to bite his tongue, she felt her right arm touch something…

Bright Sun Ginseng?

It turned out that amidst her struggle, Ye Lingyue touched the Bright Sun Ginseng the man was holding. Since the poison was slowly acting up inside the golden-masked man’s body, he had no time to pay any attention to Ye Lingyue’s little thoughts.

Ye Lingyue’s eyes lit up as the cauldron breath in her hand entered the Bright Sun Ginseng.

Noting that the girl under him had stopped struggling, it surprised the golden-masked man. However, she ‘tasted’ really good, so his actions became gentle.

Like two beast cubs giving each other warmth, they could only hear each other’s heartbeat. From the fight they were originally in, they ended up cuddling each other with their lips still pressed together.

However, after some time, Ye Lingyue finally let go of the Bright Sun Ginseng fruit after she felt that her cauldron breath had almost swallowed all its essence.

The red tint in the golden-masked man’s eyes slowly faded away as he stared at Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue’s outfit was in a mess. Her dazed eyes were moist and her lips swollen. She looked extremely enticing.

“You saved me.” The golden-masked man’s voice was low and hoarse. It was void of the original coldness it had.

The poison in him was slowly fading, even though he couldn’t understand why her ‘that’ was able to heal him.

After he regained his calmness, the golden-masked man remembered what had happened earlier.

“I’ve repaid your favor. It’s clear between us now.” Ye Lingyue glanced at the Bright Sun Ginseng on the floor.

The man kept the Bright Sun Ginseng and had glanced at Ye Lingyue before he left.

“My name is Wu Zhong. Ye Lingyue, remember this name.” Suddenly, the man disappeared as quietly and quickly as he had appeared.

How did he know her name? Ye Lingyue froze, but she then looked at herself. The wooden name tag she used for the mountain hunt was gone. That man must have taken it.

“Bad guy. Who would want to remember your name, anyway?” As Ye Lingyue wiped her mouth with all of her strength, anger flashed past her eyes. She would just treat it as if a dog bit her on the lips.

1Ye Lingyue hadn’t even realized that she had just given the man her first kiss.

However… Ye Lingyue started laughing. She had reaped quite a bit this time. If that guy knew that he had taken a useless Bright Sun Ginseng away, his eyes would probably pop out of his head.

The cauldron breath had fully sucked the essence out of the fifth-grade Bright Sun Ginseng. This incident was a real fortune despite the misfortune she was in.

As she sat inside the cave, she moved some cauldron breath inside her to absorb the medicinal effect of the Bright Sun Ginseng

Actually, with Ye Lingyue’s current cultivation, she wouldn’t be able to absorb the medicinal effect of such a high leveled spirit herb like the Bright Sun Ginseng. However, she was fortunate enough that she had a treasure like the Qian cauldron. Through the extraction of the cauldron breath, the medicinal effect of the Bright Sun Ginseng calmed down a lot.

Ye Lingyue’s body kept absorbing the ginseng effect.

Ye Lingyue’s originally depleted dantian and elementary force quickly recovered. Not only so, but she could also feel the elementary force in her body pulsing like crazy.

Bang… Her elementary force instantly broke through the ceiling of the sixth level of body tempering, the seventh level… then the eighth level. Under the effect of the Bright Sun Ginseng, Ye Lingyue’s cultivation broke through rapidly.

Ye Lingyue only opened her eyes after a long time.

She glanced at the time. It had been two days since she was trapped inside the cave, and so the mountain hunt should end soon.

‘How are Ye Sheng and the rest?’ Ye Lingyue thought as she walked towards where she came from and saw that the originally blocked cave exit had been cleared.

The monster’s body and the silver-clawed eagle king’s body were still lying from a distance.

She walked towards the cave opening to take a look at it. But she saw several thick vines by the cave entrance.

“I hope I can still make it in time for the mountain hunt.” At this thought, Ye Lingyue grabbed the vines and speedily climbed up.

What Ye Lingyue didn’t know was that in the two days she was missing, the Seven Stars Mountain had fallen into a mess.

After the appearance of the silver-clawed eagle king and Song Han and Ye Lingyue falling down the cliff two days ago, the Ye family members thought that she was already dead.

Because of Song Han’s death, the Song family members clashed with the Ye family, too. Even Ye Sheng got injured from the brawl. If Town Leader Liu didn’t step forward and interfered, someone might have died.

“Song Guangyi, you killed Lingyue! The Ye family will definitely not let you off!” One of Ye Sheng’s arms had an injury. He was in deep regret. If he hadn’t been lured away, Cousin Lingyue wouldn’t have died.

“Song Han had died as well. He’s my biological brother and an actual Song family young master. What is Ye Lingyue? She’s only a b*tch that no one wants!” Song Guangyi shouted angrily. He was still in despair from losing his brother.

From Song Guangyi’s point of view, they had planned everything perfectly. Song Han’s death must have been because the Ye family had played them.

“Dear Nephews, please stop fighting now. Miss Ye and Young Master Song’s deaths are accidents. The abyss is very deep and many silver-clawed eagles are resting there. It will be hard for us to search for them there. Let’s wait until the end of the mountain hunt to send people down to look for them,” Town Leader Liu said, wanting to calm the two parties.

Although he had calmed both parties, the Ye family’s morale greatly stooped down with Ye Lingyue’s disappearance and Ye Sheng’s injury. When it came to the third day’s morning, the Ye family’s mountain hunt performance was not as great as they were before.

There were at least two hours before noon, and those who took part in the mountain hunt returned one by one.
