Rebirth Space Pretty Girl Chapter 3022: Burst (3)

Chapter 3022 Outburst (3)

Princess Qihua cried out in alarm: "Azhe!"

Murong Zhe replied, "Have faith in A Ran. Her luck has always been extraordinary. Since she claims that an old immortal is guarding her, it must be the truth."

Helian Rongjiu added, "Very well, I also give my consent, but you cannot depart until you are fully prepared."

As he spoke, he began removing his outer garment.

While everyone watched in confusion, he said, "Don my gold wire armor. This suit is resistant to both blades and flames; I trust it will provide you protection."

Murong Zhe also rushed back to his pharmacy, returning with all his latest medicinal creations. He explained each container: "A Ran, these are the medicines Father has recently perfected; their potency far exceeds my previous work. Your own supplies should be adequate, but take these as well. This red bottle contains a powerful anesthetic. Its effect is extreme; once opened, anyone within five meters will lose consciousness. This white bottle is a lethal poison. Since you have already consumed the antidote, it won't harm you. Just uncap it and hurl it at the villains; anyone within ten meters will be poisoned, leaving their entire body limp and powerless. That tiny vial is the specific antidote for it."

Murong Lingran tucked the medicine bottles into her robes and donned the flexible gold armor. She said with a smile, "Don't fret, I will be perfectly fine. I shall return as quickly as I go, so simply wait for my good tidings."

Helian Rongjiu declared, "You must return to me safely. If you do not come back, I shall remain unmarried for the rest of my life."

Murong Lingran replied, "Rest easy, I won't allow you to be so pathetic. Furthermore, I have a signal flare. If I am safe, come immediately to retrieve me and the children."

Once she finished speaking, she gave orders for a horse to be readied. She returned to her room to adjust the soft gold armor before heading toward the main gates.

The entire group escorted her to her mount, lingering at the entrance of the Hou Mansion long after she had departed.

Princess Qihua asked anxiously, "Xiao Jiu, Sir, are we truly going to just watch A Ran head into such danger?"

The Marquis of Ning’an remarked, "Those who oppose A Ran becoming the Queen likely have daughters of marriageable age at home. There are only a handful of such families within the Imperial Court."

After Helian Rongjiu exchanged a few words with Ze Yuan and Ze Qu to set them to their tasks, he turned and said, "Indeed, I have already dispatched men to monitor the most troublesome households in the court. If all goes well, we should have news within half a day."

The Marquis of Ning’an added, "We must also keep an eye on those who aren't making a scene. As the saying goes, the dog that bites does not bark. It is possible the kidnappers belong to those quiet families."

Helian Rongjiu nodded in agreement, "Lord Marquis is correct."

The two continued to share their suspicions before deploying more personnel to take action.

Meanwhile, Murong Lingran rode out through the city gates, following the path marked on her map.

After traveling for a considerable time, she finally neared the vicinity of the hidden cave.

Gazing at the forest ahead, Murong Lingran could sense a profound gloom emanating from within.

At that moment, Shenjun Changqi, who had transformed into a decorative bead flower on her head, spoke: "Proceed. There is no immediate peril, and the ones who seized those ten children are quite arrogant. They want you to understand exactly why you are dying, so they won't kill you just yet."

Hearing this, Murong Lingran slowed her horse to a walk and whispered, "It seems that individual is rather twisted."

"Indeed."

Murong Lingran resumed following the map's directions. As she entered a small thicket, a sudden rustle came from the branches above, followed shortly by two arrows whistling toward her.

Just as the archer felt certain the shots would find their mark, the two arrows abruptly lost all momentum in mid-air and plummeted straight to the dirt.
