Yunxi and Difei stood up almost at the same time as Jin Lie, their eyes warily fixed on the large, three-eyed golden monkey, both ready to attack at any moment.
But this was, after all, their stronghold, and Yunxi didn't want to take action unless absolutely necessary. Besides, their purpose in coming here was for the Langhuan Twin Flowers; she had already given out the potion, but hadn't obtained the Twin Flowers yet. Therefore, Yunxi politely asked:
"Elder Jin Lie, is it because the medicine didn't work? You tested the medicine before, and it was your clansmen who delivered it. If there were any problems during this time, it has nothing to do with us sisters."
Di Fei, standing to the side, nodded in agreement, her wary gaze still fixed on Elder Jin Lie.
Jin Lie was stunned for a moment, then realized that his actions had caused the misunderstanding between the two, and then said in a hoarse voice:
"The two fairies have misunderstood. It's not that the potion is faulty, nor that it failed to work. On the contrary, the potion worked very well and brought the clansmen who had fallen into a coma back to consciousness."
After hearing Jin Lie's explanation, the two relaxed a little. Di Fei even exaggeratedly patted her chest and said:
"Elder Jin Lie, your reaction just now was truly frightening. Sister Qianjiao's alchemy skills are among the best in the Immortal Realm, and she has never failed. Exchanging some twin flowers with your clansmen shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Yunxi also cooperated by flicking her sleeve and throwing out three more vials of medicine, pushing them in front of Jin Lie, wanting to end the transaction as soon as possible. She had a feeling that something might have happened on Yuwen He's side, and she had to find him as soon as possible.
This time, Jin Lie did not accept the potion, but instead cupped his hands in greeting to the two people in front of him and said:
"You two can have as many twin flowers as you want, but the king wishes to see you both."
Yunxi and Difei exchanged a glance, unsure what the Three-Eyed Golden Monkey King wanted to do, so Yunxi asked directly:
"Elder Jin Lie, what brings the Monkey King to see us? We sisters are really at a loss as you say nothing."
Jin Lie flicked his golden tail in annoyance, and finally explained:
"The tribespeople who took the potion you concocted have awakened and wish to see their benefactor, which is why the Monkey King invited you over."
Yunxi was not satisfied with this answer, so Difei immediately asked:
"Who is the person we are supposed to meet?"
Jin Lie gave the two of them a deep look before speaking:
"She is the lover of my clan's king."
Yunxi understood; only someone like him could command the Monkey King personally. She gestured to Difei, then looked at Jin Lie and said:
"Please lead the way, Elder."
Seeing that the two were no longer resistant, Jin Lie took the lead out of the wooden carving house and led them to see the Monkey King.
This time, they didn't go to the wooden carving house, but to a cave dwelling carved out halfway up the mountain, where they could see the entire valley.
Jin Lie led Yun Xi and Di Fei straight to the innermost part of the cave and respectfully said:
"Your Majesty, I have brought the two fairies who concoct potions."
A slightly deep voice came out:
"Jin Lie, thank you for your hard work. Please invite the two fairies over!"
Jin Lie then turned around, revealing the cave entrance that had been blocked by his muscular body. Only then could Yun Xi and Di Fei see the Monkey King speaking inside the cave.
Yunxi raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected that the Monkey King wouldn't meet them in his true form, but instead transformed into human form. His handsome, jade-like face, coupled with his perfectly proportioned, slender figure, was quite eye-catching.
However, the aura emanating from the other party was undeniable, firmly overwhelming her and Di Fei.
Yunxi and Difei stepped forward and bowed.
"Greetings, Lord Monkey King. May I ask what brings you to see us sisters?" The Monkey King's dark eyes swept over Yun Xi and Di Fei before he spoke:
"The potion concocted by the two fairies has awakened my lover, and she insists on seeing you."
He paused here, then continued:
"If Lin Han makes any requests, as long as they are not excessive, you can agree to them first, and I will handle the rest."
Hearing the Monkey King say that, Yunxi felt that trouble was coming. She was about to ask what would be an unreasonable request when she heard a "clang" as something fell to the ground.
The Monkey King's expression tightened, and he slipped into the stone cave behind him. Jin Lie gestured for him to enter, and Yun Xi and Di Fei exchanged a glance before following him in.
When Yunxi entered, she saw the Monkey King holding a sickly and beautiful woman in his arms. This must be the Monkey King's lover. Yunxi frowned after just one glance. The other woman's condition was very bad; she was indeed hanging on by a thread. Most importantly, this sickly beauty was not a three-eyed golden monkey, but a human immortal.
Yunxi's eyes flashed, a dark light appearing in them. Her gaze fell on the sickly beauty's stomach, and her lips twitched involuntarily. She wanted to turn around and leave, but she didn't know if it was possible!
The woman held in the Monkey King's arms looked intently at Yun Xi and said:
"Please, fairy, save my child."
The Monkey King tightened his grip on the frail beauty's hand and said in a deep voice:
"Linhan, you've only just woken up. We can have another child. You should focus on getting better first."
The frail beauty, called Lin Han, gave a bitter smile and said:
"Nanming, you and I both know very well that I'm not going to get better. At least... at least let me keep the child. That's the only thing I can leave you."
A look of sorrow appeared in the eyes of the Monkey King Nanming. He closed his dark, deep eyes but did not agree to Lin Han's request.
Elder Jin Lie's lips moved; he wanted to persuade Nan Ming to agree to Fairy Lin Han's request, but looking at the silent king, he ultimately swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Lin Han gently patted Nan Ming's arm, then looked intently at Yun Xi, wanting to get an answer.
Yunxi's brows furrowed even more deeply as she asked:
"How did you get this evil aura on you? Where did you pick it up from?"
Lin Han was not surprised at all that Yun Xi could see this, and was about to speak when Nan Ming spoke first.
"In order to break through to the eighth rank, I went to the most dangerous place in the secret realm to pick up rare and precious materials that could help me break through. Lin Han was worried about me going alone, so he followed me there."
The process of gathering herbs was extremely dangerous. Both Linhan and I were injured. Evil energy had entered our bodies through our wounds and began to slowly erode our bodies. No matter how we tried to expel this evil energy, it was no use.
Not long after we thought we had expelled the evil energy, it reappeared. It was Lin Han who used a secret method to introduce the evil energy in my body into hers, then had me take rare and precious herbs to break through to the eighth level, and then helped her expel the evil energy from her body.
After I successfully broke through to the eighth level, I did indeed expel the evil energy from Lin Han's body. We thought everything was fine, but soon after, Lin Han discovered that she was pregnant, and the evil energy reappeared.
This time, however, the evil energy no longer remained in Lin Han's body, but instead entered the body of the developing fetus.
To protect her child, Lin Han had been using a secret technique to burn her life force to trap the evil energy within the fetus, preventing it from spreading. But how much life force did she have left to burn?
