Free Web NovelChapter 207: Chapter 207: The Fear of Being Left Behind
Xing Luoye’s sharp gaze immediately scanned the unconscious figure of Xing Luoguang.
A moment later, he noticed the change.
The dark veins that had been spreading across Luoguang’s neck and arms earlier were no longer growing darker. The black color had stopped spreading, and some of the veins were even slowly fading.
Most importantly, Luoguang’s face no longer looked as lifeless as before.
The frightening darkness that had covered his skin had lightened slightly.
Xing Luoye finally released a slow breath he didn’t realize he had been holding.
Beside him, Yue Yue’s eyes were already shining with hope. She quickly stepped forward and rushed to the side of the bed.
Without hesitation, she gently grabbed Luoguang’s cold hand and held it tightly between her own.
"Did it really work?" she asked anxiously.
"Will he wake up?"
The doctors exchanged quick glances before one of them smiled reassuringly.
"Yes, Princess," the physician replied respectfully.
"The poison has already been suppressed."
"He is no longer in immediate danger."
Another doctor added while continuing to examine the prince’s pulse.
"With the toxin under control, his body will slowly recover."
"It should not take long before he regains consciousness."
Yue Yue’s shoulders finally relaxed slightly after hearing those words. Relief washed over her face.
Meanwhile the doctors continued discussing the treatment among themselves.
"Now that the poison is suppressed," one of them said thoughtfully, "we can attempt to analyze the toxin more carefully." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"If we understand its composition, we might even be able to create an antidote."
Hearing this, Yue Yue suddenly remembered something important. Her eyes lit up.
"I know what poison it is!" she said quickly.
The doctors immediately looked at her with surprise.
"What do you mean?" one of them asked.
Yue Yue quickly explained. "The poison is called the Thousand Venoms of the King Scorpion."
She had clearly remembered the words spoken earlier by Cang Yuzain. The moment the doctors heard that name, their expressions changed dramatically.
"What?!" one of them exclaimed.
"That poison is extremely rare!"
Another physician looked completely shocked. freёwebnoѵel.com
"That toxin has practically been banned across the entire interstellar world!" The medical staff immediately began discussing it with serious expressions.
"That poison can only come from the nest of a King Scorpion," one of them explained.
"And those creatures are not like ordinary scorpions."
"In the interstellar beast world, King Scorpions are terrifying predators."
"They live deep inside massive underground nests."
"These nests contain thousands of smaller venomous scorpions." He paused before continuing. "All of those scorpions constantly release their venom into a single chamber inside the nest."
"Over many years, the poison gathers together and becomes incredibly concentrated."
"That concentrated toxin is known as the Thousand Venoms."
Another doctor shook his head in disbelief. "Even obtaining a tiny amount of that poison is extremely dangerous."
"Anyone who tries to approach a King Scorpion nest is usually killed instantly."
"And yet someone managed to extract it and use it like this..." His voice turned cold. "That means the attacker was both powerful and incredibly cruel."
The room became heavy again as everyone processed the information.
Meanwhile Yue Yue looked down at the unconscious face of Xing Luoguang. Her hands were still holding his cold fingers gently. Her heart felt slightly lighter now.
The most dangerous moment had passed.
But the mystery of who had used such a terrifying poison...
Still remained unsolved.
The tense atmosphere in the medical room slowly began to ease.
The physicians were still carefully observing the condition of Xing Luoguang, but the panic from earlier had completely disappeared. The poison had been successfully suppressed, and his breathing had become more stable.
Yue Yue stood beside the bed for a moment longer, watching his calm face. The frightening black veins had mostly faded now, leaving only faint traces on his skin. His expression no longer looked as lifeless as before.
Seeing that change, Yue Yue finally released a quiet breath.
Only then did she slowly turn around. Her gaze fell on Xing Luoye. He was still standing in the exact same place where he had been earlier.
Xing Luoye had not moved even a single step closer to the bed.
His tall figure stood stiffly near the wall, and his hands were still clenched tightly at his sides. His eyes remained fixed on his younger brother, but he seemed unable to walk forward.
It was as if he was afraid.
Afraid that if he came closer, something might suddenly go wrong again.
Seeing him like that made Yue Yue feel a small ache in her heart.
She walked a few steps toward him before speaking softly.
"Luoye."
Her voice pulled him slightly out of his thoughts. He slowly turned his head to look at her.
Yue Yue hesitated for a moment before continuing. "If you want... you can stay here." Her words were gentle but clear.
"You can just send me back."
"You don’t have to return with me."
Xing Luoye blinked in confusion. Yue Yue continued quietly.
"You should stay with your people."
"They need you."
"And I will stop the other empires from continuing to search for you."
Her intention was simple. She did not want him to sacrifice himself any further.
He had already done enough for his city and for his brother.
Now that Luoguang was safe, Luoye should be able to remain here with his people instead of risking his life again.
But the moment Xing Luoye heard her words, his entire body froze.
His mind, which had still been focused on his brother, suddenly snapped back to reality. He stared at her with a shocked expression.
For a brief moment, his heart felt as if someone had grabbed it and squeezed tightly.
Why... was she saying something like that?
Did she want to abandon him here?
Did she not want him to return with her anymore?
A strange panic slowly rose inside his chest.
Xing Luoye’s thoughts immediately began racing again.
If she left now...
Would she ever come back?
After all, Yue Yue was not alone. She already had powerful husbands. Orcs like Feng Yanshen and Han Soi stood beside her.
And besides them, there were countless powerful males from many empires who admired her.
Compared to those men...
What were he and his brother?
Would there even be a place for them in her life?
And now she was suggesting that he remain here.
If he stayed with her, perhaps his brother would eventually find his way back to them.
But if Yue Yue returned alone...
Would the connection between them slowly disappear?
Xing Luoye did not want that. No, He absolutely could not allow that to happen. At that moment, his gaze accidentally fell on Yue Yue’s stomach. His fists tightened instantly.
No, he could not stay here. No matter what happened, he could not let her leave alone.
Xing Luoye slowly raised his head and looked at her.
His expression had already returned to its usual calm mask.
"I will go back with you," he said quietly.
Yue Yue blinked in surprise. Xing Luoye continued calmly. "After all, you are my brother’s wife."
"It is my responsibility to take care of you."
His tone sounded almost casual, but there was a firmness hidden inside his words.
"If those people harm you, my brother will never forgive me."
