Wang Yan tore open the jeans, revealing Beiming Xue's smooth, jade-like calf.
On the calf were three black thorns, and the flesh around them had already turned black.
Beiming Xue hadn't expected that the poison was so deep, that this Poisonous Rhinoceros Thorn was so fierce.
Wang Yan cradled Beiming Xue's smooth calf in his hands, gently held the three Poisonous Rhinoceros Thorns with his fingers, and pulled them out.
Then, Wang Yan bent down, leaned over Beiming Xue's calf, and began to suck.
Beiming Xue's calf was already numb, and seeing Wang Yan sucking and spitting out black blood, Beiming Xue felt moved.
After all, this black poison on the leg could be deadly, sucking it into his mouth was more dangerous.
Beiming Xue quickly wanted to pull back her leg, saying, "Don't, be careful, it's dangerous."
But Beiming Xue's leg was tightly held by Wang Yan, she couldn't pull it back, she could only watch as Wang Yan sucked the blood out.
The sun's golden rays shone on Wang Yan, tinting him golden, even his long eyelashes and fine facial hair were clearly visible.
At this time Wang Yan, with a clean, white face, sharp and cold features, deep black eyes shining with a charming luster, a high nose bridge, and thick eyebrows, was indeed a handsome man.
Beiming Xue was momentarily mesmerized, and all her resentment towards Wang Yan vanished.
Gradually, the blackness of the blood Wang Yan spat out grew lighter, and slowly turned red again.
Beiming Xue's calf also began to regain feeling, and the spot where Wang Yan's lips sucked felt tingly, sending a sensation from her calf straight to her heart, making her whole body warm and itchy.
After a while, Wang Yan released Beiming Xue's calf, saying, "It's fine, the poison is completely sucked out, wait a moment."
Without Wang Yan's sucking on her calf, Beiming Xue felt as if something was missing, even wishing Wang Yan could keep sucking forever.
Having this thought scared Beiming Xue herself, how could she think such a thing, was she still the proud and cool Beiming Xue?
At this moment, Wang Yan looked around, then suddenly leaped up the cliff, picking up some inconspicuous green grass in the crevices, and returned to Beiming Xue's side.
Wang Yan skillfully crushed the green grass, squeezed out green juice, and dripped it onto Beiming Xue's wound.
Seeing the green juice drop in, Beiming Xue's wound started to heal.
"What kind of miracle elixir is this?" Beiming Xue asked in surprise.
"Iron Amaranth, recorded in the 'Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor' as a hemostatic and healing herb. You're safe now, I have to leave."
Wang Yan stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and was about to turn and leave.
Seeing Wang Yan was about to go, Beiming Xue suddenly felt an emptiness inside.
She instinctively called out, "Wait a minute."
Wang Yan turned back and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Beiming Xue was embarrassed, not knowing how to reply, in a flustered state, she lowered and raised her hand, softly saying, "My leg is injured, can you help me up?"
Wang Yan let out an "oh", extended his hand, and naturally grasped Beiming Xue's small hand, pulling her up.
Her hand, held by a man other than her father for the first time, turned Beiming Xue's pretty face bright red, like a crimson apple that could be squeezed for juice.
Just standing up, Beiming Xue's calf suddenly hurt, and her body softened.
Normally, Beiming Xue could grit her teeth and stand firm, but with Wang Yan next to her now, for some unknown reason, she instinctively leaned towards Wang Yan.
Wang Yan quickly extended a hand, but did not hold Beiming Xue in his arms, merely supporting her.
Seeing Wang Yan's polite gesture, Beiming Xue mused, "Who is this man, why is he sometimes lecherous, sometimes upright?"
Seeing Wang Yan still holding her, saying nothing, Beiming Xue coughed and said, "My calf hurts a lot, I might not be able to walk, could you help me?"
Wang Yan scratched his head, thinking to himself, if someone needs help, of course, he should lend a hand. But Wang Yan knew the Poisonous Rhinoceros Thorn's poison fades quickly, after removal, there should be no aftereffects.
So, this girl in front of him should be able to walk on her own.
Moreover, he had more important matters to attend to, which was to stand at the pinnacle of the world.
Seeing Wang Yan hesitant, Beiming Xue asked, "What, are you in a hurry to get down the mountain?"
Wang Yan replied offhandedly, "Yes, I need to stand at the pinnacle of the world."
"Stand at the pinnacle of the world? What do you mean?" Beiming Xue was stunned.
"Oh, it's like this, I have to find my birth parents, but the premise is to stand at the pinnacle of the world, so I need to get down the mountain quickly."
Hearing Wang Yan's words, Beiming Xue asked a few more questions and finally understood what Wang Yan meant.
Beiming Xue felt a burst of joy in her heart, thinking: I never expected there to be such pure-hearted people in the world, so he has always lived in the mountains. In that case, his earlier actions were truly unintentional, I can still help him.
Beiming Xue was kind-hearted. Since she realized Wang Yan didn't intentionally take advantage of her earlier, she immediately forgot Wang Yan's shortcomings and only remembered his good qualities. Especially with that "initial kiss" scene, it made Beiming Xue unable to let go of Wang Yan, harboring a small selfish thought in her heart.
Beiming Xue thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, wandering around aimlessly by yourself, when will you reach the pinnacle of the world? You can come down the mountain with me, I can help you."
Upon hearing Beiming Xue's words, Wang Yan was delighted and said, "Really?"
Beiming Xue nodded seriously and said, "Of course, it's to repay you for saving my life just now."
Wang Yan smiled and said, "It was my duty earlier, alright, let's go down the mountain now."
Beiming Xue said, "Okay, let's go now. My leg might have healed already, and though my pants are a bit torn, it doesn't affect walking."
With that said, Beiming Xue looked down at her pants, suddenly screamed, and covered her right leg: "Ah! No, we can't go now."
Because she saw that the right leg of Beiming Xue's pants was torn up to the thigh when Wang Yan tore it with too much force earlier.
Beiming Xue covered her thigh and bent over.
Seeing Beiming Xue's face suddenly turn red, Wang Yan asked nervously, "Why is your face so red, could you have been poisoned somewhere else? Quick, let me check."
As he said this, Wang Yan reached to pull away Beiming Xue's hands covering her thigh, wanting to see what was wrong.
"Don't come over, don't come over..." Wang Yan leaned forward, and Beiming Xue retreated backward desperately, but she forgot there was a steep mountain path behind her.
As she stepped back, she stumbled on the mountain path and fell sprawling to the ground with a scream.
Wang Yan leaned in to check carefully, and saw that Beiming Xue's thigh skin was smooth as jade, not only uninjured but also without even a scar.
Wang Yan furrowed his brows and curiously said, "No injury? Could it be elsewhere?"
As he spoke, Wang Yan glanced upward along her thigh.
Beiming Xue hurriedly sat up, covering her torn jeans with her hands.
"I'm really fine! You don't need to look anymore, really no need."
Wang Yan examined Beiming Xue's face carefully, nodded, and said, "Yeah, looking at your complexion, you should be fine. Seems I was worrying too much."
Having said that, Wang Yan straightened up.
Once Wang Yan moved away from her, Beiming Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief, though she still dared not stand up.
Yet she couldn't not leave either.
Thinking of this, Beiming Xue said in a low voice, "I'm actually a bit tired, could you carry me down the mountain?"
Wang Yan, hearing this, happily nodded and said, "No problem. Come, I'll pull you up."
As he said it, Wang Yan reached out to pull Beiming Xue up.
But Beiming Xue hurriedly shook her head and said, "No need, no need, just turn around."
Wang Yan shrugged his shoulders, but obediently turned his back.
He heard the sound of Beiming Xue slowly standing up behind him, then a pair of arms like jade lotus roots wrapped around his neck.
"Alright." She breathed softly, with a faint fragrance of a young girl passing through Wang Yan's ear, causing his heartbeat to speed up again involuntarily.
"What's going on? Could it be Demon Art again?" Wang Yan forcefully suppressed his inner doubts, carried Beiming Xue on his back, and quickly headed down the mountain.
The mountain path was bumpy, yet Wang Yan felt the girl on his back was exceptionally soft, while Beiming Xue, who had already noticed their closeness, blushed from her face to her neck, the whiteness of her collar showing a hint of red.
Beiming Xue's arms around Wang Yan's waist began to tremble slightly, and she lay shyly on his back, pretending to fall asleep.
However, the perilous experiences of the day had indeed exhausted Beiming Xue physically and mentally, and Wang Yan's sturdy back gave her an unparalleled sense of security, thus she truly dozed off.
She didn't know how long had passed when the noise of honking cars reached her ears, waking her up. She found herself in the middle of a road, surrounded by honking vehicles.
Beiming Xue suddenly woke up, looked around, and saw she was still on Wang Yan's back, but somehow they had returned to the city, standing in a bustling road.
Around the road, countless pedestrians stared at them as if looking at a monster.
It was then Beiming Xue remembered that her pants were torn, revealing her thigh, and Wang Yan was dressed in tiger-skin clothing, with hemp shoes and a tattered cloth around his waist.
No wonder the pedestrians were looking at them like they were monsters.
Beiming Xue immediately felt her face burn with embarrassment, wanting to hide her face behind Wang Yan's back.
"Quick, let's go!" Beiming Xue urgently shouted.
However, Wang Yan remained like he was in meditation, standing in the middle of the road, letting the cars form a long queue but refusing to move.
"Why aren't you moving!" Beiming Xue almost screamed out.
To her surprise, Wang Yan said coldly, "Don't be afraid, although these square monsters are strong, they can't hurt me."
