The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1136: 1136: Live and Die Together

Capítulo 1136: Chapter 1136: Live and Die Together

“Soul Destroyer, are you alright?” The Demoness couldn’t help almost crying in anxiety. The two of them pressed tightly together, and she could feel his heartbeat. Due to the poison, his heartbeat was gradually slowing and lightening. She placed a hand on his cheek, channeling her Inner Strength in an attempt to expel the poison from his body. However, the Thousand Spider Poison seemed impervious to Inner Strength, and the effect of detoxification was minimal. On the contrary, her Inner Strength seemed to cause him discomfort, even in his unconscious state, his face displayed a pained expression.

“How could it be like this?” At this moment, the Demoness was even more panicked. If they couldn’t find an antidote for the Thousand Spider Poison, even if they broke through the encirclement, Soul Destroyer’s life would still be at risk. They were slowly descending, and Soul Destroyer was already unconscious. The Demoness held onto his body tightly, using her weight to steer the parachute. Below the cliff were bushes and thick snow; to prevent crashing, she adjusted the angle and they gently landed on the snow.

“Have we… landed?” At this moment, Soul Destroyer gradually regained consciousness, looking at the snow before him and the anxious Demoness, he weakly spoke.

“Don’t worry, we are safe now. Don’t move, I’ll find a place.” The Demoness placed him on the parachute, dragging it with a rope. In this snowy place, it wasn’t difficult for the Demoness, a cultivator, to drag an adult man, but every step she took was heavy, sinking deep into the snow.

Snow continued to dance in the sky. Fortunately, the Demoness found a cave nearby, seemingly well-hidden with bushes covering its entrance. It required careful searching to discover. She didn’t have Zi Yun’s Shennong Pill, not because Soul Destroyer wasn’t worthy, but due to previous use, the already scarce pills were nearly depleted. Zi Yun still lacked several ingredients to make a new batch, and even Ye Shikai and Ji Qian had only a few left, rendering her without any. But without the Shennong Pill, how could the poison be expelled?

The Demoness brought Soul Destroyer into the cave, found a dry spot, and checked for wild animals before feeling at ease. Now, they were completely cut off from the outside world, with only two signal flares. Besides, all their equipment like tents and sleeping bags were lost. Apart from a few compressed biscuits they carried, they had nothing to eat. The Demoness might have forgotten, but deep inside Bai Mountain, wildlife was scarce, making hunting for sustenance out of the question.

“Soul Destroyer, are you okay?” She took out a towel, melted the snow with Inner Strength, soaked the towel in hot water, wrung it out, and placed it on his wound.

“Cough, cough, I won’t die just yet.” he forced himself to sit up, leaning against the stone wall.

“Damn it, they dared to poison me.” He touched his face, feeling an immediately painful burning sensation.

“Don’t worry, once we’re out, we can find Zi Yun; she will surely have a way to detoxify you.” The Demoness quickly reassured him.

“Forget it, this poison is incredibly potent. We’ve known Zi Yun for so long, and I’ve never seen her create such a virulent toxin. We have no supplies, and can’t get out in a day or two.” He panted, though he had regained some strength, he was still very weak. Realistically, it was obvious that his Inner Strength was far deeper than hers, and if he could expel the toxin himself, he would have done it earlier. But now, he could only await the whims of fate.

“You should go. Head in the direction we came from, you should be able to leave soon.” He tried to convince her to leave him, believing himself a burden. If they abandoned one person, at least the other could escape. He didn’t want her to stay and risk her life.

“Spit, you didn’t abandon me then; now you think I’d leave alone? Dream on.” she retorted firmly. However, truth be told, their situation could indeed be called “Desperate Situation.” Both had tough personalities, perhaps it was this similarity that brought them together.

“Can they be compared? When you fell into Cold Lake, even if I didn’t rescue you, Miss Ji would have. But now, if you don’t go, you’ll die with me here.” He shouted, hoping to provoke her into leaving. With no supplies amidst severe poison and harsh environment, even the greatest could not escape disaster.

“Hmph, want to incite me still? Soul Destroyer, I’m telling you, I’m staking everything on you; either we leave Bai Mountain together or die together here. After all, cold and frozen, our bodies won’t rot. At worst, we’ll wait for the others to recover our remains.”

“You… Foolish!” he couldn’t help but curse, anger leading to several fits of coughing.

“Hmph, in any case, what you should focus on now is surviving, rather than persuading me to leave.” she laughed lightly. He didn’t press further, though he was still a man with responsibilities. Even poisoned thus and immobile, he wasn’t just waiting for death. His mind was clear, contemplating an escape.

Desperate situations don’t block every path. A strong survival instinct flared in his heart, refusing to believe they, two Netherworld Palace warriors, would be trapped to death here.

He thought only of escaping Bai Mountain, praying Jia and others could escort the Bai Mountain Snow Lotus away. As long as Ghost, the Brain, was safe, even if he perished, the Netherworld Palace wouldn’t be entirely crippled. New warriors could fill the void, but if the Snow Lotus was destroyed, and they died here, the palace’s days would be numbered.

…………………

“My lord, we should be safe now.” Meanwhile, Ji Qian, Selena, Short-nosed Crocodile, Zhang Lin and others had also broken through the siege, running down the mountain. Yet, they dared not relax, with the “Chasing Army” at their backs and the need to protect the Bai Mountain Snow Lotus.

“Demoness and Soul Destroyer haven’t emerged,” Short-nosed Crocodile worried about their safety.

“We must wait for them.” Zhang Lin said at once. The Snow Lotus was crucial, yet the lives of teammates mattered more.

“Short-nosed Crocodile, Zhang Lin, escort the Snow Lotus off the mountain, leaving red cloth markers on the path. Selena and I will wait here for them,” Ji Qian immediately instructed.
