Chapter 332: Chapter 72 Marchioness_4
Ah Dai and his three companions were running at a swift pace, Zhuo Yun ascended, a green glow radiated from her body. The area was rich in plant life, a perfect place to deploy the Magic of Nature. Under the quick application of her spell, the plants around them began to grow wildly, forming barriers, blocking the guards who were in pursuit. Their speed was extraordinary, in a blink of an eye, they reached the wall of the manor. Ah Dai and Yan Shi leaped into the air, fleeing from the manor in a designated direction. The Silver Woman stood by the window, watching the retreating figures of Ah Dai and his gang. She knew her subordinates stood no chance against them. She dared not rashly give chase, after all, the Sword of Hades carried by the Grim Reaper posed a great threat to her. Rage burned in her eyes, like the Catwoman, she was one of the twelve Kings of Heaven in the Mysterious Organization, watching as her beloved "pet" was taken away and herself left in a pitiful mess only added fuel to her rage.
The commotion in the manor had yet to alarm those outside, the night was unusually quiet in Mica City, under the clear skies, the moonlight bringing a touch of brightness to the dim earth. The four of them were running towards the city’s southern gate. Soon, they saw the wide city tower. The city gate was heavily guarded, Ah Dai turned to look at Yan Shi and asked: "Brother, what should we do? Do we run straight out?"
Yan Shi shook his head, saying: "Let’s climb over the city. We don’t want to cause too much commotion."
Ah Dai stared at the blanket in his hands with worry, the temperature of the Elf boy wrapped in the blanket was rising, he knew it must be the effect of ingesting the Harmony Dew. He had not come across this poison in Goris’ notes. Now they could only find a safe place and then think of a way to detoxify him.
The four of them carefully sneaked to the corner of the city tower and quietly climbed up. Despite carrying a person in his arms, Ah Dai attached both to his body using an exquisite silk-like Life Qi that he manifested and ascended. The guard on the city wall was not strictly disciplined, most of the soldiers were dozing off. The four of them did not alarm any soldiers and successfully left, rapidly heading southwest. After having run for more than ten miles, and the city of Mica had faded into a shadow behind them, the four finally stopped. They were all panting, Zhuo Yun excitedly approached Ah Dai and said: "Did we rescue one more of our clan members? Quick, let me see who it is."
Ah Dai laid the blanket on the ground and said bitterly, " Sister, this clan member is a male, and he is naked, you better not look."
Zhuo Yun’s face turned red, saying, "You should dress him first." Having said that, she turned around to avoid looking at Ah Dai.
Ah Dai took out a set of Yan Shi’s clothes from the Bag of Dragon’s Blood, he opened the blanket and was startled to find that the body of the Elf boy had turned red, sweating profusely, seemingly in great pain. As soon as Ah Dai finished dressing him, Yan Shi asked in surprise: "Ah Dai, what’s wrong with him?"
Ah Dai responded, "Brother, I heard that vile Marchioness say that he seems to have ingested a poison called Harmony Dew and something called Soft Muscle Powder."
Yan Shi was taken aback, he had heard his clan talk about Harmony Dew, it was a powerful aphrodisiac that could stimulate a person’s sexual desire. He quickly said, "Quick! Ah Dai, try using the chill from the Sword of Hades to help him cool down. If he continues in this state, he will literally burn up from lust!"
Upon hearing Yan Shi’s words, Zhuo Yun turned around. When she saw the face of the Elf boy, she screamed out in surprise. This boy was all too familiar to her, he was her childhood friend and her yet-to-be-married fiancé — Rise. That day, the two of them were caught by the thieves from the Guild while they were meeting secretly. She frantically grabbed Rise’s shoulders, shaking his body, "Rise, what’s wrong with you, Rise?".
Ah Dai held onto the hilt of the Sword of Hades and wrapped a cold slick of evil air by the Life Qi into Rise’s body. Rise’s body shook for a moment, and gradually calmed down.
Ah Dai held his pulse, channeling his True Qi into Rise’s body to help him expel the two kinds of toxins. Under the effects of the neutral and calm energy of the Life Qi, the relatively mild toxins in Rise’s body were gradually expelled, at the same time, Ah Dai also broke the restriction in his body that controlled his voice.
Rise exhaled slowly, and slowly opened his eyes. Zhuo Yun found that his original clear eyes had become much dimmer, and his gaze had lost its vitality. "Rise, it’s me, Rise, you are saved. Ah Dai and his friends, they were sent by the Queen to save us, you are saved."
Rise looked at Zhuo Yun, a faint light gleamed in his eyes, trembling, he said:" Yun, is that you? Yun, I, I can see you again, I didn’t think, I could actually see you again."
Zhuo Yun hugged Rise’s upper body into her arms, comforting: "It’s okay, Rise, you are safe now. After we rescue the other clan members, we can go home." Seeing their intimate behavior, a hint of melancholy flashed in Yan Shi’s eyes, he took a step back and quietly hung his head.
Rise seemed to have regained some strength, he struggled out of Zhuo Yun’s arms," Yun, I failed you." Tears rolled down his face, his body shivered non-stop, murmuring :"Yun, my body is defiled, I am no longer worthy of you, I cannot return to the Elf Clan, I cannot let my defiled body contaminate our Elf City. I’m sorry Yun." With his right hand rising abruptly, he used his recently regained strength to suddenly thrust into his own chest.
