Soon, they arrived at the reservoir at the source of the stream.
The reservoir had dried up and turned into a mud pit.
Beside the mud pit, two groups of people were facing off.
They are a wild hunter mage and a mage from an Eastern family.
The two mages started fighting after a disagreement. After the Dongfang family won, the baseball cap-wearing man who had been followed by Tang Yue came out to reap the rewards.
The man in the baseball cap showed no regard for the background of the Dongfang family and turned the four young men from the Dongfang family into fertilizer for the reservoir.
When the man in the baseball cap launched his attack, Tang Yue originally intended to ambush him from the shadows.
However, Tang Yue did not expect that as soon as she stepped out of the woods, she collapsed on the spot.
"What... happened?!"
Tang Yue's face flushed an unnatural red, her body felt weak and limp, and she felt extremely hot; she was also unable to use magic.
At this moment, Chao He, the man in the baseball cap who had already dealt with the four young masters from the Eastern aristocratic families, looked in the direction of Tang Yue.
From Chao He's knowing smile, it was clear that he had already discovered Tang Yue's tracking and had taken countermeasures in advance.
Just as Chao He was laughing heartily and enjoying the fruits of his victory, an untimely voice suddenly rang out.
"Clean it up, but remember to leave some evidence in the same spot."
"Yes, my Father God."
Before Chao He could recover from his joy, he suddenly heard this voice and instinctively looked in Su Lan's direction.
I had just seen two figures when I felt a dizzying sensation and then I saw my own body.
But why can I see my own back?
With incomprehensible questions in mind, Chaohe lost his life forever.
The alien girl sheathed her blade as if she had done something insignificant.
She ignored the corpses of Chao He and the Dongfang family scions, and walked to the center of the reservoir.
Breaking open the parched ground, they retrieved a fire-type spirit seed from the subterranean fire beneath the soil.
It is Mei Yan!
He took out a specially made storage box, placed it in it, turned around and disappeared from the spot, continuing to lurk in the shadows.
The earth fire gradually began to die out because the spirit seed Rose Flame was taken away and could no longer provide a continuous source of fire.
While the alien girl dealt with Chao He and collected Mei Yan, Su Lan came to Tang Yue's side.
Tang Yue was lying on the ground at this moment, occasionally twitching, indicating that her condition was not very good.
Even though Tang Yue felt her body was on the verge of collapse, she still maintained her last shred of rationality.
Until a figure came into view.
"Teacher Tang Yue, how are you feeling now?"
Su Lan and Tang Yue have a fairly close relationship.
After all, Su Lan was the only student with initial awakening summoning ability that Tang Yue had seen during her two years of infiltration.
Naturally, he was deeply impressed by Su Lan.
They even frequently gave Su Lan special treatment and provided her with resources.
It can be said that Tang Yue played a crucial role in Su Lan's advancement to the third level of the initial stage in her senior year of high school, despite the lack of family support.
Su Lan enjoyed all the treatment that the protagonist received from Tang Yue in the original novel.
Therefore, both morally and logically, Su Lan would not allow Tang Yue to be in danger.
When Tang Yue saw the familiar voice and the familiar person, her reason, which was already on the verge of collapse, relaxed for a moment, and she could no longer suppress it.
It's unclear where Tang Yue got the strength, but she managed to wrap herself around Su Lan.
A faint voice rang in Su Lan's ears.
"help me..."
Seeing Tang Yue clinging to him and refusing to let go, Su Lan could only support her to prevent her from falling.
Serafina, who was standing to the side, did not do anything, because she could tell that her father, the god, had a relationship with this woman that was not ordinary.
"Serafina, could the poison she's been given be life-threatening?"
Serafina immediately stepped forward to examine it.
"Master, she has been poisoned by a special drug. The poison can be neutralized simply by balancing Yin and Yang."
"But if the body is not detoxified, the gradually increasing body heat will damage organs and the brain, and eventually there is a high probability of death."
Having made up her mind, Su Lan immediately used Serafina's teleportation ability to return to Water Play Town.
After booking a luxury room, he carried Tang Yue inside.
He originally intended for Serafina to remove the toxins from Tang Yue's body.
Su Lan would never stoop to taking advantage of someone in distress.
However, Tang Yue had lost control of her movements and began to wave her arms wildly.
Perhaps it was her strong will that allowed Tang Yue to briefly regain consciousness.
When she confirmed that it was indeed Su Lan in front of her, she hugged Su Lan tightly and gazed into Su Lan's eyes with her breath sweet as orchids.
Memories of the past flooded my mind.
Tang Yue thought she would never see Su Lan again, but she never expected to see her again at such a time.
Tang Yue, who originally wanted Su Lan to take her to the hospital, changed her mind for some reason.
"You little rascal, you got off easy."
Su Lan stared into Tang Yue's still rational eyes without flinching.
"You said it, so don't regret it."
Then he looked at Serafina beside him.
"Give her an antidote."
Serafina gently touched Tang Yue's skin, and Tang Yue, who was about to fall back into a state of drug poisoning, regained her rationality.
And he became increasingly clear-headed.
However, my body still felt very hot.
After cleaning up the toxins, Serafina winked at Su Lan and disappeared from the room.
Once Tang Yue regained her senses, she looked at her ambiguous posture with Su Lan and subconsciously wanted to back away.
She found herself being held tightly in Su Lan's arms.
After struggling for a few moments but failing to break free, Tang Yue resigned herself to hug Su Lan.
At this moment, Tang Yue, whose face had not yet fully recovered due to the effects of the medication, glared at Su Lan.
That eye roll was incredibly charming and alluring, exuding mature beauty.
Su Lan continued to stare into Tang Yue's eyes, her gaze filled with aggression.
"You said it yourself, you've let me off easy."
"I've already said it, so don't regret it."
Immediately following Tang Yue's exclamation, she was carried into the room by Su Lan.
...
Two hours later, Tang Yue, who had regained consciousness, lay on Su Lan's chest and drew circles.
Perhaps due to lingering poisoning, Tang Yue was very proactive just now.
It was only when they ran out of energy that Su Lan took over.
"sorry."
After a while, a slightly hoarse but still charming voice came from Tang Yue's mouth.
Su Lan was not surprised to hear Tang Yue apologize.
"Is simply saying sorry enough?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yue gently pinched Su Lan to express her dissatisfaction.
"I promise I won't run away anymore, okay?"
Hearing Tang Yue's assurance and seeing her expression that said, "I won't run away, and you can't get away with it," Su Lan was finally satisfied.
Speaking of which, Tang Yue and Su Lan had a complicated past.
However, Tang Yue couldn't get past her own hurdle, and because Su Lan was young, she "ran away" on her own.
Of course, the so-called escape was also due to a notice issued by the court to temporarily withdraw all judges who were going to Bo City.
Tang Yue didn't dare to say goodbye to Su Lan and left directly.
Even if Tang Yue didn't say anything, Su Lan would still go to see her in the near future.
"By the way, who is that woman next to you?"
A complete and clear-headed rationality will allow possessiveness to take over between lovers.
