Chapter 652: Chapter 588: Drug Intake Blood_1 Chapter 652: Chapter 588: Drug Intake Blood_1 As soon as the Hidden Guard arrived, the men in black were at a disadvantage, and Xiao Yeyang quickly protected Daohua as they retreated.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang’s face looking particularly terrible, Daohua hurried to support him to sit down behind a tree, “Quick, let me see your wound.”

Noticing the dark red blood seeping from Xiao Yeyang’s shoulder, Daohua’s face changed, “Xiao Yeyang, the arrow is poisoned, I need to pull it out now, bear with me, okay?”

Without waiting for Xiao Yeyang to respond, she forcibly tore open the clothing on his shoulder, saw that the arrow wasn’t deeply embedded, and pulled out the arrow from his shoulder with one swift motion.

Xiao Yeyang hissed in pain and was just about to speak when he saw Daohua, without any hesitation, bend down to suck the poisoned blood from his wound.

In this moment, Xiao Yeyang’s heart was filled with an indescribable surge of emotion.

“Puh~”
A mouthful of blackish-red blood was spat out by Daohua, who, without a moment’s pause, went back to sucking the wound again.

After several attempts, the blood being spat out started to turn a fresher red.

Xiao Yeyang silently watched Daohua, his feelings for her growing deeper by the moment.

Only when the blood flowing from the wound looked normal did Daohua stop.

Xiao Yeyang, seeing blood on Daohua’s lips, reached out instinctively to wipe it away for her.

When his hand touched Daohua’s soft lips, both of them were momentarily stunned.

Just then, a man in black fell close to them, and a Hidden Guard followed, dispatching him with a single slash of his blade.

As blood splashed, Xiao Yeyang, worried that Daohua would be frightened by the scene, bore the pain in his shoulder and pulled her into his arms, covering her eyes with his hand, “Don’t look.”

Daohua pulled Xiao Yeyang’s hand down, “I won’t look, but stop worrying about me for now and take care of yourself.” After speaking, she took out a handkerchief to dress his wound.

Xiao Yeyang looked around and, seeing that all the men in black had been dealt with, he stopped Daohua, “My injury isn’t that serious, and you’ve already sucked out the poison, I should be fine. You should go rinse your mouth by the river so that I don’t get poisoned and you end up getting it instead.”

Daohua felt that made sense, she let Xiao Yeyang press on his own wound, and then went to the river to rinse her mouth.

After rinsing, Daohua took the golden sore medicine passed by a Hidden Guard, applied the medicine to Xiao Yeyang’s wound, and then, belatedly remembered Dong Yuanyao and Sun Changze.

“Xiao Yeyang, where are Yuanyao and Sun Changze?”

Ang Yi stepped forward, “They are up ahead. Miss Dong seems to have fallen into the water, but she’s been rescued.”

Seeing Daohua’s anxious expression, Xiao Yeyang took her hand and stood up, looking at Ang Yi, “Clean up here.” After instructing, he took Daohua’s hand, “Let’s go check on them.”

The two quickly walked ahead and soon saw Sun Changze and Dong Yuanyao.

Both were completely drenched, with Dong Yuanyao appearing weak and leaning into Sun Changze’s embrace.

“Yuanyao!”

Daohua hurried over.

When Dong Yuanyao saw Daohua, she immediately threw herself into her arms, “Yiyi, I almost died in the river just now.”

Daohua held Dong Yuanyao and gently patted her back to soothe her, “It’s all over now, everything is in the past.”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Sun Changze and, noting his injuries, asked, “Are you alright?” It was he the men in black were after; as a result, both Sun Changze and Dong Yuanyao had suffered because of him.

Sun Changze shook his head, “I’m fine, just some superficial wounds.”

Xiao Yeyang nodded, looked at Daohua, but quickly averted his eyes again.

By May, everyone’s clothing had become rather thin. Dong Yuanyao’s clothes clung to her body after falling into the water, and he couldn’t bring himself to look indiscreetly.

“Beside the waterfall, there’s a stone cave. I have already sent someone to tell Defu to bring a change of clothes over. Let’s go wait there first,”
Daohua also noticed that Dong Yuanyao’s clothes were all wet and it was inappropriate to meet people like that. She couldn’t help but raise her head to look at Xiao Yeyang, glancing at the short-sleeved shirt he was wearing.

Xiao Yeyang understood what Daohua meant, but he turned his head away and ignored her.

It wasn’t that he was stingy, but if his clothes were seen on Miss Dong, it would definitely cause misunderstandings, and he would not allow such a thing to happen.

Daohua saw that Xiao Yeyang had turned around and ignored her. She suddenly felt puzzled, thinking he didn’t understand what she meant. Just as she was about to speak up, she saw Sun Changze take off his outer shirt and drape it over Dong Yuanyao.

Although it was wet, it was better than nothing.

Daohua helped Dong Yuanyao up. Perhaps because she had been soaked in the water for too long, Dong Yuanyao’s legs were still somewhat weak, so much so that all of her weight was pressing down on Daohua, and Daohua almost couldn’t hold her up.

Seeing this, Sun Changze quickly spoke up, “Let me carry Miss Dong.”

Seeing that Dong Yuanyao didn’t refuse, Sun Changze directly took her from Daohua’s arms and carried her toward the stone cave by the waterfall.

Daohua, maintaining the posture of helping someone up, stood there blankly watching the two people walk away.

Xiao Yeyang gave the two a glance and then ignored them. He usually didn’t like to meddle in others’ affairs. However, seeing that Daohua’s clothes were wet from Dong Yuanyao, he quickly took off his outer shirt and put it on her.

Looking at the clothes on her, Daohua couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t you give your clothes to Yuanyao just now? She needs it more than I do.”

Xiao Yeyang, “What do you mean she needs it more than you? Can you even be seen in your current state?”

Daohua fell silent. Summer clothes were quite thin, and once they got wet, they weren’t fit for public view.

Xiao Yeyang continued, “As long as I take good care of you, that’s enough. As for other girls, I can’t be concerned with so much.”

Daohua gave him a look, “Yuanyao is our friend.”

Xiao Yeyang blurted out, “Even with friends, one must avoid suspicion.”

Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang, her lips slightly pursed and she said nothing. But when she saw him helping her tie the sash on the front of her chest, Daohua quickly reached out to grab it, “I’ll do it myself.” After saying that, she turned around and tied it herself.

This time, Xiao Yeyang obediently let go, as dressing involved intimate contact and made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

After tying the sash, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang walked toward the stone cave.

Once Daohua arrived, Sun Changze handed Dong Yuanyao over to her, then left the cave to search for firewood.

Xiao Yeyang felt it was inappropriate to enter the cave, so he stood at the entrance watching.

Dong Yuanyao leaned on Daohua’s shoulder, blankly watching Sun Changze busily moving back and forth. The scene of Sun Changze giving her mouth-to-mouth underwater when they were trapped by the men in black and couldn’t reach the shore flashed through her mind over and over again.

Soon, Sun Changze had the fire going.

Seeing that Dong Yuanyao’s hair was still dripping, Sun Changze also made the fire a bit larger.

Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua’s cheeks reddened by the fire and immediately spoke up, “Don’t make the fire too strong; who can stand being roasted like this?”

Sun Changze was startled for a moment, then hesitantly said, “But Miss Dong’s clothes are all wet, a bigger fire will keep her from feeling cold.”

Dong Yuanyao lifted her eyes to Sun Changze, who had rebutted Xiao Yeyang, a swift smile flashing in her eyes.

At this moment, Defu hurried over with Wang Manman and Hong Yu.

“My lord, are you all okay?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded and didn’t say much, turning to Wang Manman and Hong Yu, “Did you bring the clothes? Hurry up and get your ladies changed, don’t let them catch a cold.”
