Chapter 1293: Sisterly Affection

"I... I'll kill you, you lecher!"

Overwhelmed with shame and anger, Liang Wanrong raised her sword and thrust it at Ye Yuan.

But halfway through, she found Ye Yuan looking at her with a faint smile.

Liang Wanrong was startled, her movement abruptly halted, and her gaze toward Ye Yuan was filled with wariness.

A cool breeze brushed Liang Wanrong's back, and she thought to herself, "That was close."

During the day, she had been inexplicably caught, without even knowing how it happened.

But she was certain it had something to do with Ye Yuan!

"Zhang Shun..."

Liang Wanrong was about to order Zhang Shun when she suddenly recalled her actions during the day, and her face flushed crimson with embarrassment.

Liang Wanrong even felt that even if the one who molested her had been Ye Yuan, it would have been more dignified than Zhang Shun.

After all, Ye Yuan's identity was unknown, while Zhang Shun was a servant.

Now, she was truly in a dilemma.

She wasn't the only one in a dilemma; Zhang Shun and the guards were too.

Zhang Shun, being an old hand, suddenly said, "Second Miss, ahead is the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest! At this time, you need to cooperate closely with the Eldest Miss to lead us all through!"

Liang Wanrong wasn't stupid. Seeing a way out, she quickly said, "Hmm, you're right!"

...

After resting, the group entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Forest was no peaceful place; it was home to many divine beasts!

Divine beasts that had vanished from the Immortal Forest World were everywhere in the Tongtian Realm!

Most of the beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest were ordinary demonic beasts, but the occasional divine beast was a nightmare for human martial artists.

Upon entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, Ye Yuan could clearly sense Zhang Shun becoming more alert.

The earlier awkwardness had been completely replaced by solemnity.

The Profound Origin Pill was indeed a top-grade first-rank divine pill. After a few days, Ye Yuan could already walk around.

Although he looked no different from an ordinary person, at least he could move.

"Miss Wanru, would you allow me to take your pulse? I am an alchemist, and perhaps I might be able to help you," Ye Yuan said in the carriage.

Ye Yuan's demeanor had always been easygoing, and Liang Wanru did not shy away; she nodded in agreement.

After a thorough examination, Ye Yuan's brow furrowed.

Things seemed not as simple as he had imagined. Ye Yuan searched through the pills he knew but found none that could cure Liang Wanru's condition.

Logically, congenital deaf-muteness could be cured with pills, which was no big deal in the Immortal Forest World.

However, Liang Wanru's physical condition seemed completely different from that of the Immortal Forest World!

This kind of congenital muteness required the power of laws to resolve!

But Ye Yuan knew nothing about divine pills!

It seemed he had boasted a bit too much.

Earlier, Ye Yuan had thought curing Liang Wanru's muteness would be simple, but now it appeared not so.

"Senior, is there a first-rank low-grade divine pill that can resolve Miss Wanru's condition?" Ye Yuan asked Wuchen.

Ye Yuan already knew that the Immortal Forest Heavenly Sovereign had extraordinary attainments in the Dao of alchemy.

The Soul-Calming Pearl was the Immortal Forest Heavenly Sovereign's reliance!

Only with sufficiently strong soul power could one have sufficiently strong attainments in the Dao of alchemy!

Wuchen said, "Of course! In my view, Liang Wanru must have suffered some unforeseen calamity at birth, leading to this condition! Even mortals descended from divine Dao experts would not have such a condition! Liang Wanru's case is a deficiency of laws. The first-rank low-grade divine pill Wuning Pill can resolve this condition."

Ye Yuan murmured, "Wuning Pill? Senior Wuchen, how is this pill refined?"

The only divine pill Ye Yuan could currently refine was the Inverse Dao Pill.

He had never even heard of the Wuning Pill, let alone refined it.

The Dao of alchemy required, on one hand, insight into the Heavenly Dao, and on the other, a profound understanding of spiritual herbs.

Both aspects were indispensable!

Ye Yuan's insight into the Dao of alchemy might barely meet the standard, but he knew nothing about spiritual herbs.

Wuchen listed several spiritual herbs, and Ye Yuan had never even heard of them!

On a whim, Ye Yuan said to Liang Wanru, "Miss Wanru, are you familiar with the three spiritual herbs: Heart-Linking Grass, Heaven's Wandering Branch, and Purple Ling?"

Liang Wanru was somewhat surprised. After a moment of daze, she walked toward a carriage and pointed at a wooden box.

"Is this... Heart-Linking Grass?"

Under Wuchen's guidance, Ye Yuan learned the origin of the spiritual herb in the box.

Divine-grade spiritual herb Heart-Linking Grass!

Ye Yuan reached for the wooden box, but Zhang Shun blocked him midway.

"Young man! I must respect the Eldest Miss's face! But these spiritual herbs were procured by the master and are extremely important! If you try to touch them, don't blame me for being rude!"

Zhang Shun's words were full of disdain!

A waste who couldn't even condense divine essence dared to covet divine-grade spiritual herbs—wasn't that a toad lusting after swan meat?

These divine-grade spiritual herbs were important resources for the Liang family; how could a stranger be allowed to meddle?

Ye Yuan laughed heartily and said, "I see. I was being presumptuous!"

With that, Ye Yuan stepped back and indeed did not touch the spiritual herbs again.

Zhang Shun was taken aback, not expecting Ye Yuan to be so straightforward.

But soon, his expression changed, and he shouted, "Halt!"

Liang Wanrong asked in confusion, "Guard Zhang, what's wrong?"

Zhang Shun said gravely, "Something's not right!"

"What's not right? Isn't everything fine now?" Liang Wanrong said.

Zhang Shun said, "That's precisely why it's not right! Crossing the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest should never be this quiet! No matter how careful we are, we should encounter demonic beasts along the way! The quieter it is, the more abnormal!"

Liang Wanrong knew that Zhang Shun was an expert in this area.

Since he said so, it must be true.

Before Zhang Shun finished speaking, shadows flickered in the jungle, and indistinct figures had completely surrounded Ye Yuan's group.

Among them, there were faint powerful fluctuations, undoubtedly from divine beasts!

Zhang Shun's face turned extremely ugly, and he said solemnly, "Second Miss, this seems to be... a beast tide!"

Liang Wanrong's face changed; she had certainly heard of the fearsome reputation of beast tides.

Beasts covering the mountains and plains surrounded them, making escape impossible!

Liang Wanrong hadn't expected to encounter such a thing.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

The roars of packs of beasts echoed throughout the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest.

They were completely surrounded by these demonic beasts!

At that moment, Liang Wanrong suddenly walked toward Liang Wanru and said bitterly, "Sister, I never thought that after all our rivalry, we would perish here together!"

Liang Wanru was startled, then a gentle look appeared in her eyes.

Men's words are kind when death is near; birds' cries are sad when their end is near.

Unexpectedly, Liang Wanrong had seen the light at this moment!

Liang Wanru smiled faintly and shook her head, indicating she didn't mind.

Liang Wanrong took Liang Wanru's hand and sighed, "Sister, I was wrong in the past. Please don't hold a grudge against me, okay?"

Liang Wanru nodded, a look of relief on her face.

"Rip..."

But at that moment, the sound of a blade cutting through flesh rang out.

"Hahaha... Demonic beasts are extremely sensitive to blood. My dear sister, if you die, your little sister can escape alive. That's what I call sisterly affection!" Liang Wanrong laughed loudly.
