C217 The dead are dead

Just as Yan Yuan finished changing his clothes, the two of them looked at each other, and then ran out of the room.

At this moment, the mournful wails outside the room had disappeared.

When Liu Ruo Qing and Yue Shan came out, there was a person lying down at the end of the walkway, and he was completely still.

As for the people from the other rooms, they all ran out from them.

He was surprised to see the man lying on the ground. Without guessing, he knew that the dead man was a companion of these Turkic men.

"Ghost …" Ghost … "The ghost really came, really came …"

After hearing the news, the waiter who had rushed over also saw the scene in front of him. He was so scared that his face turned deathly pale, and his body collapsed onto the ground, not daring to move.

"Ghost?"

The leader of the Turkic people walked in front of the waiter, grabbed him by his shirt and said angrily: "Are you saying that my partner was killed by a ghost?"

"Yes …" "That's right, esteemed guest, this humble one has already reminded you before. Do not come out after the 1800s. Take a look …"

The waiter was so scared that his face turned pale. If it weren't for the fact that he was grabbed by the Turkic, he would have fallen to the ground again.

Yan Yuan's gaze locked onto the Turkic who was on the ground, and the light in his eyes deepened.

He reached out his hand to grasp the hand Liu Ruo Qing had placed by her side, and while Liu Ruo Qing was in a daze, she said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, this matter is definitely man-made."

Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yan Yuan. She felt that her brain was a little insufficient.

Yan Yuan had obviously treated her so well, and he had always made her feel that he treated her so well and specially, as if he liked her.

However, why would a man who liked her not want her when he was burning with lust?

Liu Ruo Qing couldn't understand at all. She even had the urge to ask him if he liked her.

However, in that instant, she had retracted all of her courage.

Forget it, he had to leave the King Jing Palace anyways. Leaving him, why would he need to know that such an answer made him even more troubled.

Would she really stay for him if he said he liked her?

She didn't want to, she thought. There was nothing more important than this life.

Yan Yuan was not an idiot, and the Kaiser officials were not idiots either. With her fake identity, it was impossible for her to not expose for the rest of her life.

At that time, Yan Yuan would know that he had been scammed, what would he do?

Would he risk everything to protect her, or would he personally kill her?

She had no idea, nor did she dare to think about that time.

She calmed down her heart and nodded towards Yan Yuan, saying in a low voice: "Let's go back to our room to rest. We still need to travel tomorrow, this matter will be handled by the authorities, we don't need to meddle in it."

To her, the most important thing right now was to find the Giant Lobster Cage Grass as soon as possible and dispel the poison within Yan Chang's body and exchange it for the letter of rest in Yan Yuan's hands.

Looking at the conflict and struggle flowing out of her eyes, Yan Yuan knew what she was thinking and didn't object, "Alright."

His current goal was to find the Lobster Cage Grass and cure her poison. This was the most important matter at the moment.

Moreover, the disappearance of Prince Sang Ji was no small matter, and he had to rush back to the capital as soon as possible to discuss this matter with the Kaiser.

The officials rushed over after receiving the report. They didn't say anything. However, there was fear on everyone's faces. Their hands were still shaking as they carried the corpse.

The next day.

The entire Huaxi Town was discussing the murder case last night. Everyone was talking about it, saying that the ghosts of Miss Chen who had appeared in the other inns before were causing trouble.

No one doubted it was a murder.

Liu Ruo Qing and Yue Shan only heard the discussion in their hearts, and did not care about it.

After exiting the Huaxi Town, there was a relatively famous mountain, with an elevation of over 7000 meters.

Giant Cage Grass grew at an altitude of 2,000 meters above sea level, so perhaps it could be found on this mountain.

"Giant Cage Grass is a carnivorous plant. It secretes a kind of juice that forms an enzyme and an acid. We have to be careful when searching for it."

"Yes."

Perhaps it was because he had poured cold water on it a few times the night before, but Yan Yuan's nasal voice was a bit heavy and his voice was also a bit hoarse.

He walked to Liu Ruo Qing's side and swept his eyes across his surroundings. The closer he got to the top of the mountain, the closer he got to Liu Ruo Qing. His body intentionally or unintentionally shielded Liu Ruo Qing behind him, creating a safe environment for her.

The two of them walked for two hours in a row, and the entire journey was considered smooth. Liu Ruo Qing calculated in her heart that it was about to reach this height.

"There's about 6,000 feet here. Let's see if we can find it."

Liu Ruo Qing told Yan Yuan about the dangers and the appearances of the Cage Grass in detail. "They rely on the rotting corpses to emit a substance to ingest nutrition, and as long as we can find the rotting corpses of animals, we will be able to find the Cage Grass in the surroundings."

Yan Yuan nodded, then turned and prepared to leave, "Let's split up and meet up here."

When he had just turned around, his hand had been grabbed by Yan Yuan. Liu Ruo Qing turned his head in surprise, and saw the resolute and deep look in Yan Yuan's eyes.

"Follow me, don't run around!"

Liu Ruo Qing was startled, but did not think too much, and said: "We'll split up and look, it'll be faster."

"If I say follow me, then follow me. If you can't find it today, then look for it tomorrow!"

Yan Yuan's cold face cut Liu Ruo Qing off, but the resolution in his eyes, caused Liu Ruo Qing to retract the words that were about to leave his mouth.

She didn't know that ever since the incident with the tiger, Yan Yuan had always been afraid in his heart, and didn't dare to let her go up the mountain alone.

How could he allow the same thing to happen a second time?

But if he was unwilling to say it, Liu Ruo Qing would not know either. At the moment, he only felt that Yan Yuan was a little strange, and had wasted a person's time for no reason.

She didn't argue with Yan Yuan over this matter, since he was insistent, she would let him be.

Yan Yuan held her hand tightly, not relaxing at all as he pulled her close.

From time to time, the sounds of various animals could be heard in the mountains. Especially the sounds of the wild beasts that were hidden in the mountains, it was terrifying to hear.

Liu Ruo Qing followed beside Yan Yuan and naturally thought of the day he was sent to dig up wild winter bamboo shoots and encounter tigers.

After that, Yan Yuan rushed to the top of the mountain and hugged her nervously, apologizing to her all the while in his ear.

Thinking back to that time, Liu Ruo Qing's heart could not help but throb a little more.

Her gaze, turned to look at Yan Yuan who was in front of her, only to see him staring coldly at every corner with his sharp eyes, a cautious expression on his face.

Was it because he was afraid of what had happened the last time that he'd let her follow him?

In that instant, such a thought flashed through Liu Ruo Qing's mind, and her heart suddenly thumped.

Her gaze was still fixated on Yan Yuan's profile, as she quietly walked beside him.
