Chapters 261-270

After being tormented again and again, the squirrel finally lost its temper. The third time Jun Yixie caught it, it didn't chase after Han Yunxi right away. Instead, it sat in his palm and stared at the man with his large black eyes. It really was reluctant to part with the poison on this guy's shoulder. After living for so many years, it'd never eaten such tasty poison. It was certain it was a completely new strain! But since it had to catch up to Han Yunxi, it couldn't be bothered with this man.

As Jun Yixie prepared to closed his hands, the white squirrel suddenly gave out a savage chitter. Its sharp cry was like a meteor breaking through glass, making its listeners extremely uncomfortable. Before it finished, swarms of flesh-eating rats appeared from the surrounding undergrowth to surround Jun Yixie on all sides. Still, they didn't move to attack him directly. Jun Yixie was caught extremely off guard. He never thought this white squirrel could summon flesh-eating rats here. When he thought back to the disaster in the Sky Pit, he began to suspect the origins of this animal and gave a start. He tried to tighten his grip, but the white squirrel evaded his fingers and leaped into the air, landing just outside the flesh-eating rat swarm. As soon as it did, all of the crouching rats reared their backs and rushed in to attack. Jun Yixie immediately turned around and fled!

Dammnit!

Han Yunxi and the white-robed man were nearby, but he had no way to reach them now. The boiled duck had flown away1! Whether or not this little white squirrel was the poison beast, he'd definitely drain its blood dry the next time they met!

Jun Yixie used all his strength to flee with the flesh-eating rats in hot pursuit. Han Yunxi finally released a breath of relief, but she didn't dare stop. Supporting the white-robed man, she kept heading deeper into the forest so she could quickly find a place to hide. The white squirrel sat on a tree branch as it watched Jun Yixie's form fade into the distance. Its bright black eyes were filled with reluctance at seeing its delicious meal disappear just like that. It was a long time before it turned back, only to see Han Yunxi getting farther away. With a squeak, it leaped up and started chasing after her furiously.

New master, don't abandon me, yahh!!

The white squirrel caught up to Han Yunxi very quickly. This time, it played docile and didn't try to sneak into her medical pouch. Instead, it followed carefully behind her. Han Yunxi was planning to find a more concealed location, but the white-robed man was too weak to walk any further. She had to treat him right now! Thus, she helped him lean against a tree, using its large branches as a form of cover. By now, the feeble white-robed man had almost shut his eyes. Still, he held on as his mouth moved, as if trying to tell Han Yunxi something.

"Don't talk right now. Don't worry, I'll definitely save you," Han Yunxi said seriously.

No matter who this white-robed man was or why he appeared, the fact remained that he'd saved her when she was in her most helpless, frightened state. This was a kindness that she'd remember.

"Don't worry, I'm not seriously injured," said the white-robed man despite everything, wanting her to be at ease.

Han Yunxi didn't even know what to say. She took his pulse with one hand while the other moved to take off his face veil, but the white-robed man stopped her mid-motion. His hand was very much like Long Feiye's, icy cold with long slender fingers. But unlike Long Feiye's coarse, rough skin, his was as gentle as jade. Han Yunxi could only think that he rarely used any weapons.

"Don't look...all right?" Though his voice was weak, it still carried a warm, gentle tone. His gaze was even gentler. He was looking at Han Yunxi as if she was the person of his heart, his pupils soft and mild. Within his gaze was a thread of doting and helplessness.
