Hearing this, Shuang Hua couldn't help but let out a snicker. "You must be saying this because you're afraid your arms aren't as impressive as Butterfly Lord's."
Bai Xiaofeng turned his head and raised his sword-shaped eyebrows. "Huh? You've seen his?"
Shuang Hua nodded, looking a bit proud. "Of course. Not only his arms, but his whole body..." After saying this, she noticed the strange look in Bai Xiaofeng's eyes and immediately shut up. But Bai Xiaofeng still caught hold of her words and let out a cold laugh. "Hehe, what did you just say? You've seen every part of him... So you're having an affair with that stinky butterfly..."
"No!" Shuang Hua quickly shook her head in denial. "The last time I saw, it was only because Aunt Xia Ling was taking off his clothes!"
"What did you say?!" Bai Xiaofeng's face suddenly turned ashen. Then he gritted his teeth and spat out two words, "Xia, Ling!" He never thought that in his competition with that stinky butterfly, he would still end up at a disadvantage. So did Xia Ling still feel closer to that stinky butterfly?
Shuang Hua nodded proudly. "Yeah. Anyway, Aunt will never like you. It's no use for you to be jealous!"
After saying this, she grabbed Bai Xiaofeng's arm and tore open his sleeve.
Bai Xiaofeng couldn't help but let out a soft cry as his wound was tugged. But seeing Shuang Hua skillfully treating his wound, he was slightly surprised. However, his mouth didn't spare her. "So you're so sure that the person in Dayong will like you?"
Hearing this was about that person, Shuang Hua's little face flushed pink. She stammered, "I haven't even gone yet. How do you know that person won't like me? Moreover, I don't even want that person's love. It's enough for me to just stay by his side..."
"Alright, alright. I can only hope you'll be lucky." After saying this, Bai Xiaofeng didn't know why he felt a bit uncomfortable.
Seeing his absent-minded look, Shuang Hua couldn't help but let out a soft snort. She unscrewed the medicine bottle and suddenly poured the medicine on his wound.
Only to hear a man's pained cry, "Ah—", ringing through the sky.
"Do you want to kill me with pain?" Bai Xiaofeng blew on his wound while hopping in pain.
Shuang Hua laughed proudly. "No. I just applied the poison Aunt Xia Ling gave me. I thought using poison to fight poison might be a good idea."
"You, you, you!" Bai Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and immediately fainted.
Shuang Hua burst into laughter.
...
When Bai Xiaofeng woke up, he thought he was surely going to die on this journey. But when he opened his eyes, he saw Shuang Hua washing his wound by the stream. He let out a muffled grunt. Shuang Hua then held up a red-and-white cloth and said, "You're awake. Look, the poison is really gone..."
Bai Xiaofeng suddenly felt like vomiting blood.
Seeing his expression, Shuang Hua said with a grin, "Alright, I was just kidding you. That medicine is actually Aunt's secret recipe. She told me it can cure all kinds of poisons. It can be taken orally or applied externally. This bottle is the real poison."
Shuang Hua took out a similar bottle and shook it.
Bai Xiaofeng immediately went crazy. "You... You've really been with your Aunt Xia Ling for too long. You've been spoiled by her!"
Shuang Hua nodded. "Yeah. She is me, and I am her. Remember to be nice to me from now on."
At this moment, Bai Xiaofeng suddenly thought it might not be a bad idea to bring her to Dayong. Maybe with her around, they could teach that high and mighty emperor in Dayong a lesson.

After packing up, the two rode their horses forward. Bai Xiaofeng found a hot spring in the wild and took the opportunity to take a bath and change his clothes. Shuang Hua blushed and said she had secretly taken a bath by the stream before. One really couldn't imagine how nervous she must have been while bathing while keeping an eye out for Bai Xiaofeng to wake up.
This time, the two didn't bicker all the way like before.
When they reached a village, the sun had set and the sky was a bit overcast.
Since ancient times, the sky has unpredictable changes, and people have sudden misfortunes. Bai Xiaofeng sniffed the air and clearly smelled a strange odor.
"Shuang Hua, wait. Don't go in!" On the tall chestnut horse, the white figure sat up straight and blocked the way ahead. Suddenly, he had an imposing air.
Shuang Hua reined in her horse at the village entrance and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"I feel something is off..."
"Hmm?" Shuang Hua glanced at him and looked at the village with him. At this moment, a raindrop fell on her nose. Ah... it was almost going to rain.
At the village entrance, people were still coming and going as if no one was going to gather the dried wheat.
"Sir, do you want to feed your horse?" Someone saw them at the entrance, carried a load of grass, and walked up warmly.
Bai Xiaofeng squinted slightly. When the man got closer, he suddenly drew his sword and pierced the man's throat.
Shuang Hua couldn't help but scream. She saw the man slowly fall, and the hidden weapon on his back hadn't even had a chance to be shot out. Seeing this, the others in the village all broke their disguises and took out their weapons.
Bai Xiaofeng immediately turned his horse around. "Run!"
But at this time, a group of masked women had gathered behind them. It was the Ronghua Sect again!
Bai Xiaofeng frowned and said to Shuang Hua, "There are too many of them this time. I'll cover you. You run first. Don't worry about me!"
Shuang Hua shook her head. "If we're going to die, we'll die together!"
Bai Xiaofeng sneered. "You're not qualified to die with me." Then he whipped Shuang Hua's horse's leg and followed beside her, covering her as she broke through the encirclement.
"Take this jade token of mine and go to Sang City. Someone will take you to the imperial city." Bai Xiaofeng tore off a jade token from his body and threw it to her. Then he jumped off the horse to hold off the enemy for her.
If the two ran together, neither of them would be able to escape. But if he stayed... If he stayed, maybe that enchantress would spare her...
The sound of sword clashes behind Shuang Hua grew fainter and fainter. She kept looking back, kept looking back. But unexpectedly, a horse snare suddenly appeared in front of her. Without noticing, she and her horse fell to the ground.
The horse quickly got up and continued running after falling, but she was in so much pain that she couldn't get up.
At this moment, there was a loud rumble in the sky. It was a thunderbolt.
A soft hand reached out in front of her. She looked up and saw the bright red clothes and that... peerlessly beautiful face.
"Come, go home with me." She smiled gently, making the whole world pale in comparison for a moment.
Shuang Hua unconsciously reached out her hand to her. Her eyelids were heavy. Unable to bear the severe pain all over her body, she finally fainted.
The beautiful woman withdrew her hand and said to the woman beside her, "Which one of you used the hallucinogenic incense?"
A woman lowered her head and stepped forward. The beautiful woman turned around and slapped her hard. She scolded angrily, "Disobedient thing. Drag her away and bury her with the girls who died in the battle over there!"
The woman was immediately taken away. As she walked, she pleaded tremblingly, "Forgive me, Sect Leader. Forgive me, Sect Leader. I know I was wrong."
The beautiful woman seemed not to see or hear. She just said to the others beside her, "Take this girl over there. I'll go and meet Bai Xiaofeng in person."

Bai Xiaofeng was really unlucky.
Because he rarely went on a killing spree. He was covered in blood and wounds all over his body. Just when he thought he was about to seize the opportunity to escape, he was finally captured because of that little burden. He had no choice but to submit.
That enchantress looked at him and laughed happily. She tied him up tightly and dragged him to the nearby Ronghua Sect's base, the Qianqiu Palace.
