Free Web NovelChapter 198: Chapter 198: Only the Sea Empire Can Save Him
The hall fell into another tense silence after Xing Luoye’s weak words.
Yue Yue’s hands tightened around him instinctively. His body felt colder than before, and his breathing was becoming slower with every passing second.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Then the man with long blue hair stepped forward.
His calm ocean-like eyes carefully observed Luoye’s pale face and the dark blood at the corner of his lips. His expression slowly became serious.
"Lady Yue Yue," he said gently.
"The man in your arms will not survive long."
His words were simple, but they landed like a heavy stone in the hall.
Yue Yue’s heart skipped.
Cang Yuzain continued calmly.
"He has been poisoned with the Thousand Venoms of the King Scorpion."
His deep eyes moved toward Xing Luoye again.
"This poison is extremely rare and vicious. Once it spreads through the blood, the victim’s organs slowly begin to fail."
"Most people cannot survive more than a few hours."
Yue Yue’s face turned pale.
Her fingers trembled slightly where she was holding Xing Luoye. Just who was ruthless to give him such a dangerous poison. Her hard gaze fell on that boy.
"But..." Cang Yuzain added calmly.
"There is still a way to save him."
Everyone’s attention immediately shifted toward him. Cang Yuzain spoke slowly.
"Only the Sea Empire possesses the antidote for this poison."
His gaze returned to Yue Yue.
"If you bring him to the Sea Empire, we can definitely save him."
For a second, Yue Yue couldn’t react. Then hope suddenly flashed in her eyes. Her breathing became unsteady as she looked at Cang Yuzain.
"Are... are you serious?" she asked quietly.
But on the other side of the hall, Hu Lieyuan’s expression darkened instantly. His hands slowly clenched into fists.
How did he recognize that poison so easily?
A cold thought crossed his mind. Hu Lieyuan had already known about the poison from the beginning. After all, he was the provider of this poison.
In fact, he had been secretly considering saving Xing Luoye himself later. After all, the situation would become troublesome if the prince truly died here.
But he couldn’t say it openly.
If he suddenly revealed that he had the antidote, suspicion would immediately fall on him.
After all... the poison had been delivered by that boy.
And the boy had already said that "her husband" was the one who ordered it.
If Hu Lieyuan stepped forward now and offered the antidote, everyone would start connecting the dots.
That would completely ruin his position.
But Cang Yuzain was different.
The Seventh Prince of the Sea Empire had spent most of his life in the ocean. The Sea Empire had always been famous for its knowledge of rare poisons and marine toxins.
It was completely natural for him to recognize such venom.
Hu Lieyuan’s jaw tightened slightly. Things were beginning to slip out of his control.
Meanwhile, Yue Yue’s heart was beating faster and faster. Hope had finally appeared in the middle of despair.
Yue Yue did not hesitate any longer.
The moment she heard there was an antidote in the Sea Empire, her decision was already made. She carefully adjusted Xing Luoye in her arms, trying to keep his body steady as his breathing grew weaker.
"We are going to the Sea Empire," she said firmly.
Her voice carried no doubt.
Cang Yuzain’s lips curved into a faint smile.
His deep ocean eyes briefly glanced toward the representatives of the other empires standing nearby. There was a subtle smugness in his expression that he didn’t even try to hide.
The other empires immediately reacted.
"Lady Yue Yue, you are always welcome in the Sand Empire," one of them said quickly.
Another voice followed. "Our Sky Empire would gladly host you as well. Once the man is healed, you can visit us anytime."
Several offers came one after another. freewēbnoveℓ.com
But Yue Yue didn’t respond to any of them. She acted as if she had not even heard their words.
With Han Soi’s help, she slowly carried Xing Luoye toward the aircraft waiting outside. His body had grown dangerously weak, and every moment felt precious now.
The people from the other empires could only watch silently. Their eyes were filled with envy as they looked at Cang Yuzain.
The Sea Empire had clearly won this round.
Just as Yue Yue was about to leave the ruined hall, she suddenly stopped.
She turned around and looked at everyone present. Her expression became serious.
"If any of you dare to track the people of Dune City," she said slowly, "then it will be against me."
Her voice echoed clearly in the hall. "I will never step foot in your empire again."
The declaration shocked everyone. They had not expected her to openly place Dune City under her protection like this.
Even Feng Yanshen’s face became extremely ugly.
The feud between the brothers of Dune City and him had always been deep. The Four Empires had only supported the Temple because of their alliance with the High Priest.
But now Yue Yue had openly drawn a line.
Without waiting for anyone to answer, she turned and continued walking toward the Sea Empire’s aircraft.
Then suddenly, she reached back and grabbed Feng Yanshen’s hand.
Without saying a word, she pulled him along behind her.
Feng Yanshen did not resist. He allowed himself to be dragged silently.
The scene left everyone completely stunned. This was the violent and terrifying High Priest of the Temple.
Yet now he was being pulled away by a woman like this without saying a single word.
When did Feng Yanshen start behaving like this?
Only the people of the Temple looked calm. They had already seen similar scenes many times before.
Soon Yue Yue stepped into the Sea Empire’s aircraft with Xing Luoye and Han Soi.
Feng Yanshen followed quietly behind her.
After the aircraft doors closed and it rose into the sky... The Temple’s fleet also began moving.
Their aircraft quickly turned and followed the Sea Empire. After all, they could not allow their High Priest to travel without protection.
