Not long after leaving the training field, Yan Xi’s footsteps stopped, and her fingers quickly gestured at her throat a few times.

A large mouthful of black blood gushed out from her throat.

Yan Chushi. who was beside her. was shocked and hurriedly held her. His soft little face was full of worry, and his voice trembled with anxiety. “Xixi, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me! Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. It’s poisoned blood. I’ll be fine after I spit it out.” Yan Xi shook her head. She had just forced the poison out of her throat.

This body had been poisoned.

The host could not speak because she had once helped Yun Yuhan absorb poison when she was young.

At that time, Yun Yuhan was not the Holy Son. He was just an abandoned son of the Yun family. He lived in a dilapidated courtyard and was abused by the other disciples of the Yun family. They got poisonous snakes to bite him.

At that time, Yan Xi was so anxious that she quickly helped Yun Yuhan suck out the poisonous blood without thinking. Later, a portion of the poison condensed in Yan Xi’s throat and did not dissipate. Once she opened her mouth to speak, there was a bone-piercing pain in her throat, like a knife cutting it.

Yan Xi became silent. As time passed, she forgot how to speak and became the subject of everyone’s ridicule.

Digging out her buried memories, Yan Xi clenched her hands, her dark eyes deep.

Suppressing her memories, she pointed to a tree not far away. “Let’s go there and rest for a while.”

The battle and forcing out the poisonous blood made her a little tired.

However, the training ground was probably in chaos now. Therefore, no one would come to find trouble with them for a while.

Only then did Yan Chushi notice her pale face. Yan Xi’s previous performance was so dazzling that everyone had unconsciously ignored the fact that she was seriously injured.

How could he have forgotten about Xixi’s injuries?

Yan Chushi was vexed and rummaged through his pockets. “Right, medicine! I have medicine on me.”

Every month, the Yan family’s disciples were given a monthly allowance. The family would distribute some resources and medicinal pills for their cultivation according to their potential and realm.

However, because Yan Xi was a waste and had no one to back her up, she was not given an allowance.

Although Yan Chushi’s talent in cultivation was not good, at least he could still cultivate. He was also given an allowance every month. However, because Yan Xi was often injured, he spent his money on medicine and iron supplements.

Yan Chushi hurriedly searched his pockets, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

However, no matter how many times he searched, he could not find anything!

Yan Xi had a vague guess.

Yan Lan had a lackey called Yan Hu, who was a branch disciple of the Yan family. He was quite talented in cultivation and followed Yan Lan every day. He often bullied her and Yan Chushi.

Every time the family sent out an allowance, Yan Hu would always steal it from Yan Chushi. It had been seven days since the last monthly allowance was issued by the family. Yan Hu must have stolen it.

A sharp light flashed in Yan Xi’s eyes. Beating up Yan Lan was just the beginning.

Those who had bullied her and Yan Chushi would not fare well. She would make them pay!

“Chushi, there’s no need to look. I’m fine.” Yan Xi comforted him.

“Xixi, I’m useless. I… I can clearly cultivate, but… But no matter how hard I try, I am still not good enough. I can’t protect you at all. I can only watch as they bully you.”

Yan Chushi looked at the blood and wounds on her body, and his black eyes gradually became misty. He burst into tears.

Yan Xi’s heart ached.

“Little Chushi, why are you crying? This isn’t your fault.” Yan Xi gently flicked his forehead and wiped away his tears.

After receiving the memories of the original body, Yan Xi understood that in this world, the strong were respected, and the law of the jungle reigned supreme!

Being weak was the greatest sin!

Yan Xi’s gaze swept over the bruise on the corner of Yan Chushi’s mouth. It was the mark of Yan Lan hitting him while he was protecting her.

Anger rose in Yan Xi’s heart, and a tyrannical emotion swelled within her. She could not help but wonder whether she had been too gentle before.

In the 21st century, almost everyone who knew the head of the ancient martial arts family knew that Yan Xi was not only terrifyingly talented in martial arts, but she was also intensely protective of her own!

Hurting the people she cared about was even worse than hurting her directly!

She reached out and ruffled Yan Chushi’s soft hair. The corners of Yan Xi’s mouth curled up, and her eyes were bright. Her tone was full of unquestionable confidence. “In the future, I will protect you.”

The chubby boy, whose eyes were red from crying, looked up in a daze. “But… my father said that men should protect girls.”

Yan Xi raised her eyebrows and teased, “Would a man cry in front of a girl?”

Yan Chushi’s little face flushed red. He rubbed his eyes hard to hide the fact that he had just cried. He was fighting for Xixi! He did not want to cry.

He looked at Yan Xi carefully and opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say anything.

The Holy Son had treated Xixi terribly earlier. Was she very sad now?

At the thought of this, Yan Chushi felt vexed. He should not have gone to the Holy Son for help.

He knew that the Holy Sun was cold and might be unwilling to come to the training grounds to sort things out, so he lied to him that the Dean was looking for him in the training field.

Yan Chushi thought that even if the Holy Son was as cold as the rumors said, he was engaged to Xixi. Even if it was only for the sake of his reputation, he would not let his fiancée be beaten to death when he arrived at the training grounds, right?

Moreover, even if the Holy Son did not say a word, as long as he stood there, who would dare hit his fiancée in front of him?

However, he never expected that the Holy Son would not care about the truth at all. He did not distinguish right from wrong and even helped the abuser!

He directly determined that Xixi was the thief.

What infuriated Yan Chushi the most was his ruthlessness when he pushed her away at the end. And to add insult to injury, he had defended Duanmu Rou as well. Xixi was his fiancée!

Today, the Holy Son’s reaction made the people who bullied Yan Xi lose all their morals. In the future, those people would only get worse. Moreover, once today’s incident was spread, everyone would know that the Holy Son hated his fiancée. Yan Xi’s days would only get harder and harder.
