Wu Nuan realized that Bai Junjun was determined and sighed,
"If you are certain Young Master Li is in the Forbidden Land, I can take you there."
Just then, a hoarse and weak voice came from behind.
The two turned around only to see Ah Dao struggling to sit up.
"Are you awake?" Bai Junjun naturally returned to Ah Dao’s side, Wu Nuan also silently followed.
Ah Dao nodded at Bai Junjun, then looked towards Wu Nuan.
"Thank you, Miss Nuan, please be sure to take us to find the young master."
At this moment, Ah Dao’s robe was loose, revealing a firm chest, which made it hard not to feel bashful at the sight of his well-defined pecs.
Bai Junjun couldn’t help but take a few extra glances, almost letting out a whistle.
Feeling Bai Junjun’s glaring gaze, Ah Dao’s focus on finding someone shifted to the back of his mind as he awkwardly adjusted his clothes.
Wu Nuan, seeing his actions, thought he was guarding against her and awkwardly excused herself.
"I’ll have someone bring you some food."
After Wu Nuan left, Bai Junjun teased Ah Dao in a cheeky manner: "Young man, you have a nice physique, but why so shy? It’s as if I’m coveting your body, look, you made the young beauty flee."
Bai Junjun laughed even more joyfully, only stopping when Ah Dao was on the verge of shamefully leaving this awkwardness, then Bai Junjun put on a serious face.
"It’s enough if I go to save people; you should rest here as you are still unwell.
And you and the Fox were too rash, poison is different for experts depending on the formula, Python Poison is similar to Acacia powder but not the same thing, you’ve absorbed a lot now and who knows what side effects there might be later, I can only say I’ve temporarily helped you relieve it, we’ll have to see how it goes.
Anyway, let me know if you feel unwell, and I’ll figure out a way for you."
Bai Junjun was rarely so solemn, which moved Ah Dao deeply.
Ah Dao’s feelings were complicated, Bai Junjun was really... just now making one die of shame, and in the blink of an eye, she moved one profoundly.
No wonder the young master was utterly captivated by her.
"Thank you, Miss." In the end, Ah Dao decided to leave the "past" behind and expressed his gratitude to Bai Junjun.
Bai Junjun calmly patted his shoulder.
"Don’t worry, the Fox will be fine. By the way, when did you guys come in? Did you find anything?"
Ah Dao recounted their journey.
As Bai Junjun had expected, Li Wenli had traveled by wind and taken Ah Dao along an aerial route, easily entering Witch Ancestor Mountain territory.
However, when they found Wu Nuan, she was already in a cave, nothing else was unusual.
Bai Junjun couldn’t help but frown, so the Fox had disappeared four days ago, that same night, Bai Junjun felt the Fox took a lot of Water of Flora from the Space and then there was no further news.
It seems that night he was in the Forbidden Land and also ran into trouble.
But thinking of how Li Wenli was still able to drop Mosquito-eating Plant into the Space, perhaps he was temporarily okay?
Bai Junjun harbored many doubts but did not voice them.
At this time, Wu Nuan brought in porridge and instructed Ah Dao to eat, while they prepared to set off for the Forbidden Land.
Although Ah Dao wanted to go too, Bai Junjun expressly forbid it, and the most important reason was that Bai Junjun could disguise herself as Wu Nuan’s Maid, Ah Dao could not.
However, Ah Dao still had a task; while they went to the Forbidden Land to retrieve the Fox, Ah Dao needed to try contacting the two old men at the foot of the mountain, then wait for their signal to escape at any time.
