When the assassins saw him make his move, they didn't dare to delay any longer. They used the trees in the forest to dodge his concealed weapon and rushed towards him with their blades raised.
Logically speaking, these people were not Mo Wenli's match, but in order to let Yu Yan keep breathing and let her hang on a little longer, Mo Wenli had lost too much of his internal energy, so when he made a move, he was far from being as ruthless as before. Instead, he was trapped in the middle of these people, so much so that he nearly fell into their hands several times.
"Mo Wenli, the emperor only wants to invite Miss Yu Yan back to treat her illness. Don't you miss her?" The leader of the assassins, seeing that he was unable to move for a long time, also became anxious and shouted at him.
"How is he able to treat Yu Yan's illness? I'm afraid he's full of the heart of a villain and wants to make dirty plans. " Mo Wenli sneered, with a palm, he grabbed an assassin who was rushing towards him. With a wave of his hand, the assassin fell into the water.
When the blade fell, it almost hit Yu Yan, causing her to quickly pull back her leg.
"Mo Wenli, you're missing the right timing." she complained.
"Lie still." Mo Wenli also complained.
Just as he was speaking, several figures appeared from behind the tree, forcing the assassins to turn around and deal with them. Mo Wenli could not care less who it was as he carried Yu Yan and prepared to leave.
But just at this moment, Yu Yan smelt a burst of fragrance. This fragrance was very strange, it was neither flower nor grass, and it was indescribably fragrant. She looked at Mo Wenli, and the back of his hand was scratched.
Yu Yan couldn't help but lean over. Before Mo Wenli could react, the little lilac tongue had already touched the back of his hand. He was shocked, and quickly turned around only to see Yu Yan squinting her eyes and looking at him with a confused expression.
"Mm …" He let out a muffled groan. The pain in his shoulder quickly spread. When he lowered his eyes, he saw a slender silver needle piercing into his shoulder.
In the blink of an eye, when Yu Yan absorbed more of his blood, he growled and threw himself into the small pond with her. The impulse that she could not control flowed through his blood vessels. The thing that hit his shoulder was not a poisonous needle, but an extremely fierce medicine! At this time, Yu Yan laid softly on his body. She didn't care if she fell into the pond or not, as she grabbed onto his fingers and bit into it, sucking greedily.
Mo Wenli's mind was in a mess. When Yu Yan was still a baby, she had also pulled his finger and sucked his blood.
The cold water surrounded the two of them. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist to prevent her from sinking, and he had to restrain himself from destroying her innocence. His long eyebrows scrunched together, the corners of his lips curled into a straight line, and his amber eyes were filled with the cold moonlight.
She snuggled up to him, holding his fingers and drinking the sweet spring water with all her might. Yes, in her eyes, it was not Mo Wenli, but just a spring flowing with sweet spring water. As the fresh blood entered her throat, the unbearable pain in her five viscera and six bones was slowly alleviated.
"Back then, you drank the water from your collarbone and fed it to her, allowing her to live for seventeen more years. If I kill you, I'll kill her. High Lord Mo, you are the only person in this world that can keep her alive. " A low, hoarse voice came from the shore.
Mo Wenli turned his head, only to see the person in black wearing a cloak, revealing a pair of calm eyes, calmly looking at him. Behind him stood a dozen men wearing copper masks. If it weren't for this mask, he would be no different from those assassins.
"Don't stop, otherwise your previous efforts will be in vain. She will only have half of her life left, like a living dead person, and you will be in even more pain." The man in black chuckled. Victory was within his grasp.
"Who are you?" Mo Wenli stared at him, his hand quietly touching the hidden weapon pouch on his waist.
"There's no need to ask so much about dying people." The black-clothed man laughed and looked at Yu Yan in the blink of an eye. "For a single Yu Yan to destroy three Overlords is truly a good business, my wait for so many years has not been in vain. The heavens have given me the opportunity, the heavens will aid me in this. High Lord Mo, this time, you have saved her and slept in this green mountain. In the future, I will bestow upon you the title of one who has contributed greatly to the founding of our country! "
"Founding a country? Which corner did you crawl out from, to the point where you don't even dare to show your face to this High Lord? You actually want me to sleep, that will depend on whether or not you have the ability. " Mo Wenli laughed, retracted his eyes slightly, and waved his hand, sending his concealed weapon flying towards the black-clothed man.
However, to his surprise, when the concealed weapon shot towards that person, it actually stopped mid-air as if it was frozen in place. On closer look, in front of the man in black clothing, there was actually a thin and dense silk net blocking him. Even the concealed weapons were twisted on it.
"This is the secret weapon of High Lord Mo, it is unparalleled in the world, how can I dare come to see High Lord without making any preparations?" The man laughed proudly.
Mo Wenli was unable to land on the shore, his fingers were on Yu Yan's lips, and those impulses were like flames tearing his mind apart. He almost couldn't take it anymore, and wanted to ruthlessly push Yu Yan down …
"It feels so bad, all these years, High Lord Mo has never suffered such grievances. Haha, people who die in front of their Cold Water Palace, their bones can become mountains. Has High Lord Mo ever thought of today? "
"What? Your parents, your father, your wife, your children, your entire family have all been killed by me? Do I let them die a happy death? " Mo Wenli also laughed, and once again attacked with his concealed weapon.
"Don't bother, you can't hurt me. Just save some energy for her to drink some more blood and become my toy. A woman that you all miss is definitely not bad. " The person was still sitting there with a smile on his face.
He didn't expect that Mo Wenli's hidden weapon this time was simply trying to distract him, so he brought Yu Yan to the bottom of the lake and disappeared from his sight.
After sitting for a while, he realized that there was no movement in the pool. He suddenly stood up and walked to the edge of the pool with big steps. The sound of water splashing out of the waterfall covered up all the sound in the surroundings. Just at this time, Mo Wenli suddenly rushed out of the small pond while carrying Yu Yan, using the tip of her foot to kick on her forehead, then used the momentum to jump up the big tree, jumping on top of the tree branches.
The man suffered a heavy blow to his forehead, he crouched down on the ground, and when he crawled up to look, Mo Wenli was no longer there.
Mo Wenli's entire body was ice-cold, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. In order to get Yu Yan's blood, that person wanted to distract him, so that he wouldn't use all of his power to deal with the assassination attempt. That's why he fell for such a vicious medicine.
He embraced Yu Yan's body and used her blood to feed her. The satiety and discomfort on her body also caused him to feel unbearable pain. He lowered his head to look at her, the red blush on his face had already begun to recede, his lips revealed a bitter smile, and he said softly: "No wonder I can't forget all these years, your life is actually mine. Do you think I should take my finger back and leave you in this mountain? "
His legs went soft and he fell straight down from the tree.
As he landed, he turned his body, making Yu Yan kneel in front of him, and used his own body to support her.
He groaned as he felt the dull pain on his back. Looking at the red patch of red retracting back into Yu Yan's forehead, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly. If someone chased him at this moment, even a child could easily take his life.
Mo Wenli turned his head slightly and saw that a few black bears were staring at him.
