The Prime Minister’s Darling

Xiao Hen asked Gu Jiao in a low voice, "Does he think there's an Immortality Pill in your first aid kit?"

Gu Jiao replied, "But there's no such pill in my first aid kit."

She looked at Sect Leader Rong, "Who told you there's an Immortality Pill in the kit?"

Sect Leader Rong used his inner strength to protect his heart, but it was of no use anymore. His life was rapidly slipping away, and he was becoming increasingly agitated: "I saw it with my own eyes! It must be in your kit! Give it to me! Give it to me!"

Isn't this person mad?

Like those emperors obsessed with alchemy in pursuit of immortality. But where in the world is there immortality? Where is there an Immortality Pill?

Sect Leader Rong lost his patience and ordered the Gu Master, "Kill him!"

Gu Jiao extended her hand, "Alright, alright, I'll give it to you!"

Xiao Hen immediately got into character, grabbed her wrist, and turned to block her eye-catching acting with his body: "You're insane! You only have one! What will you do if you give it to him?"

His acting was superb, worthy of an Oscar in Gu Jiao's previous life.

No one doubted that what he said wasn't the truth.

Gu Jiao, with a face full of heartache, sighed, "But I can't let him kill my brother and Gu Chengfeng. If I don't have the Immortality Elixir, at most I'd be like you all, live and die naturally, and there's nothing wrong with that."

Xiao Hen said in a deep voice, "Jiaojiao!"

"No need to say more." Gu Jiao raised her other hand in a stopping gesture and pulled out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom.

Xiao Hen snatched the porcelain bottle, turned to Sect Leader Rong, his eyes full of unwillingness, anger, helplessness, and complexity: "Hand over the person, and I'll give you the medicine. I'll count to three, you push the person over, and I'll toss the medicine to you."

Sect Leader Rong's eyes gleamed with greed: "Alright."

"One, two, three!"

As soon as Xiao Hen's voice fell, the Gu Master pushed the person forward, and Xiao Hen threw the pill.

Long Yi flew forward and caught Gu Chengfeng, while Gu Jiao advanced a few steps and caught Gu Yan.

At that moment, the originally unconscious Gu Yan suddenly opened his eyes, reached back to pull out the Peacock Feather Sword, his cold eyes flashing, and stabbed someone in the heart with one swift stroke!

The Gu Master looked down at the Black Moon Sword piercing through his chest, turned his head in disbelief: "You..."

Gu Yan wiped the blood splattered on his face, clarity in his eyes: "You think you can make me harm my sister? Dream on!"

The Gu Master fell into a pool of blood.

Sect Leader Rong drew in a breath, grabbing the medicine bottle in his hand.

Gu Yan, exhausted, collapsed to the ground.

Gu Jiao kneeled, holding him: "Ayan!"

Gu Yan shakily pulled out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and, with a trembling voice, said: "Thankfully... there's the poison given by my master's wife... Sister, stay away from me... I still want to kill you..."

Long Yi pulled out the long sword from the Gu Master's back and with a swift stroke, decapitated him.

Gu Yan's vision went black and he fainted in Gu Jiao's arms.

With the death of the Gu Master, the Gu poison was naturally lifted. He fainted because earlier he had taken the poison concocted by Mistress Nan to counteract the Gu poison.

Gu Jiao tightly held him in her arms, her cheek against his cold face, whispering softly: "Silly brother."

On the other side, having obtained the pill, Sect Leader Rong laughed maniacally: "I have the Immortality Elixir now... I won't die... no more..."

With a thunderous roar, the entire Secret Room shook violently once again, sand trickling from the gaps in the ceiling and walls, turning the dust within into a frenzy.

Xiao Hen looked around, narrowing his eyes as he spoke: "It seems someone has triggered an underground mechanism... this place is going to collapse... we need to leave now!"

He took Gu Jiao's hand.

Long Yi grabbed one person under each arm, Gu Chengfeng on the left, Gu Yan on the right, covering the retreat for the other two.

At this moment, the stone door of the Secret Room began to fall.

Seeing things turn dire, Long Yi first threw Gu Chengfeng and Gu Yan out, then with two palms pushed Gu Jiao and Xiao Hen out.

The stone door was falling fast, and after doing all of this, he didn't have time to dash out.

Gu Jiao: "Long Yi!"

Just as the Secret Room was about to close completely, with a clatter, the small first aid kit appeared under the thousand-pound stone door, wedging it firmly open.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Hen lay down, peering through the gap in the stone door.

Xiao Hen said, "Long Yi! Come quickly!"

Long Yi rolled on the ground, exiting the Secret Room through the less than a foot-wide gap.

Sect Leader Rong had just swallowed the Immortality Elixir, allowing him to live forever like the first master of Dark Night Island, but he couldn't spend eternity here.
