Chapter 98 - 98 General, You’re Poisoned!

98 General, You’re Poisoned!

Seeing a powerful force mixed with a cold feeling surge over, Shen Liu’an’s expression turned solemn. Just as he was about to block it, he saw scarlet-gold flames the size of his fingertips splash out and collide with the huge blue fireball.

In an instant, the blue fireball exploded from within and instantly turned invisible, disappearing into the air.

Shen Liu’an turned his head mechanically and looked at Huo Junhan beside him.

How could he have forgotten that this man had hellfire?

!!

Hellfire was a king-like existence among divine flames.

The ghost fire was nothing compared to hellfire!

The Ghost Lady was completely stunned. She rubbed her eyes and asked, “That’s impossible. Where’s my ghost fire?”

“It’s just a ghost fire.” Huo Junhan’s eyes were filled with disdain. As he spoke, a golden-red flame the size of a fingertip flew out and landed steadily between the Ghost Lady’s eyebrows.

Boom—!

The fingertip-sized flame instantly exploded. The Ghost Lady was immediately engulfed by the flames. With a scream, she was burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Sensing that the Ghost Lady’s aura had completely disappeared, the muscles on Shen Liu’an’s lips drooped.

“Thank you for your help, Your Highness.”

Hearing Shen Liu’an’s unwilling thanks, Huo Junhan nodded expressionlessly. “General Shen, you’re too kind. Since the Night Justice Bureau has temporarily taken over the Imperial Preceptor’s residence, this is just my duty.”

Shen Liu’an felt even more upset upon hearing the distance in Huo Junhan’s tone.

“Your Highness, I owe you a favor today. I’ll definitely repay it in the future.”

Huo Junhan glanced at Shen Liu’an indifferently. “As you wish, General Shen. However, you should think of a way to detoxify the poison first.”

With that, he turned and left.

“Hey…” Shen Liu’an wanted to stop Huo Junhan and ask him to leave Pa Pa behind, but he could not think of a reason. He scratched his head anxiously.

On the other side, because the Ghost Lady had been destroyed, the corpses that emerged from the ground had also lost their energy supply. One by one, they fell to the ground and stopped moving.

“General!” A young man in a white robe ran towards Shen Liu’an.

“Zeyu.” Shen Liu’an saw that Zeyu’s face and body were covered in blood and frowned. “Are you injured?”

Wen Zeyu raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face, revealing a handsome face as fair as jade. He smiled, and there were shallow dimples beside his cheek. “No, this blood belongs to those corpses…”

As he spoke, he noticed a large bruise on Shen Liu’an’s neck. His tone suddenly became anxious. “General, you’ve been poisoned! Did you get bitten by the Corpse Devouring Worm?”

Only then did Shen Liu’an feel dizzy, and his whole body lit up in pain.

Just as he was about to comfort Wen Zeyu, his vision darkened, and he fainted.

The night passed in a hurry, and the sky was turning bright.

“Miss, it’s almost dawn. His Highness shouldn’t be coming. Go to bed and rest,” Nuan Ying whispered as she looked at Shen Yaowei, who was sitting at the door and staring at the door.

Shen Yaowei was clearly sleepy, but she forced herself to stay awake and slowly shook her head. “Wait a little longer.”

She was not only waiting for her Ninth Imperial Uncle, but also for Pa Pa.

Logically speaking, if Pa Pa had only helped her go home to take a look, it should have returned long ago.

However, at this hour, there was still no sign of Pa Pa.

She was worried that something would happen to Pa Pa.

As for her Ninth Imperial Uncle, she felt that he would not come.

At the thought of this, Shen Yaowei’s eyes darkened.

Nuan Ying looked at Shen Yaowei and sighed with heartache. Just as she was about to comfort her, she heard steady footsteps behind her.
