On the endless wilderness, dozens of cars pulled by monsters move forward at high speed.
Behind the monster chariot are thousands of cultivators riding on the back of the Gale Beast. The monster gallops forward, splashing smoke and dust from its four hooves. The practitioners on the back of the monster are as stable as a rock, undisturbed by the surrounding wind.
"Cough cough cough..."
In the speeding away monster cars, a faint coughing sound could be heard from one of the monster cars from time to time, which quickly dissipated in the howling wind.
Practitioners have sharp eyes and ears, and even though the wind is howling around them, they can still clearly hear the coughing in the wind.
Intermittent, like the coughing up blood of a chronically ill person, one can't help but pay attention to it.
"Are you okay?"
Ning Yuzhou gently patted the back of the person in his arms, feeling that thin back was tense due to coughing, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
The cough seemed to be quite severe this time, she covered her mouth with a veil, and at the end of the cough, she spit out a mouthful of blood, which was stained on the white veil with traces of purple blood oozing from the dark red, which was particularly eye-catching.
Wen Qiao was leaning against his arms with a sleepy expression, her internal organs were on fire, and the pain like pinpricks in her veins consumed all her energy, so she didn't notice her posture at this time.
"Open your mouth." Ning Yuzhou said.
Wen Qiao opened her mouth, and a panacea was fed into her mouth, and the panacea melted in her mouth, turned into a panacea juice and slid down her throat, a gentle spiritual energy slightly soothed the pain in her internal organs, making her originally The tense heartstrings loosened a lot.
After relaxing, the spirit became more and more drowsy.
Ning Yuzhou patted her and said softly, "Sleep, I'm here."
The gentle and warm voice is like a wisp of spring breeze passing by willows, slightly wrinkling a pool of spring water, which actually teaches people to relax their tense nerves unconsciously.
Wen Qiao fell asleep in his arms.
It's just that she may be really uncomfortable. Even when she was asleep, her brows were still tightly knit.
Ning Yuzhou lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, his eyes slowly gliding over her delicate facial features, maybe it happened once before, his skin was pale with a little cyan, his thin body was leaning against his arms, extraordinarily petite and weak , can hardly feel the slightest weight, and even the breath is so weak that people can hardly feel it.
After looking at it for a while, Ning Yuzhou gently took out the blood-stained handkerchief in her palm and looked at it, then took her wrist and pressed her fingertips on her pulse to feel her pulse.
He lowered his eyes, and only after a while did he gently put down her wrist.

In the monster car not far away, Fifth Prince Ning Pingzhou sat quietly.
Even on the road, many practitioners will not relax themselves, regard it as a way of practice, and buy time to practice meditation.
Nine Princesses Ning Yaozhu and Ning Pingzhou ride in the same car.
From time to time throughout the day, Ning Yaozhu curled her lips when she heard coughing from the monster car not far away.
"Since you are sick and consumptive, why don't you stay in the city and be a wealthy idler? What are you going to do?" Ning Yaozhu really didn't understand the behavior of the couple, and she was very disdainful, "I thought there was only one person here this time. Ordinary people who can't cultivate, they never thought that they would bring another sick and tuberculosis man, and then they should be protected by us?"
Ning Pingzhou opened his eyes and said flatly, "The Qianlin Guard will protect them."
"No matter how powerful the hidden scale guards are, there are limits to them. Don't forget where the Lintai Hunting Valley is!"
Lintai Hunting Valley is a secret place located in Lintai Mountain in the northwest of Dongling Kingdom. The secret place of Taihunting Valley is open to the public for one month. After one month, the heavy fog in Lintai Mountain dissipates and Lintai Hunting Valley is also closed.
Now Lintai Hunting Valley is controlled by the royal family of Dongling Ning and several big families, and it has become a place for young practitioners of Dongling to practice. All young practitioners under the age of twenty-five, regardless of their cultivation level, Anyone can go in.
After so many years, Lintai Hunting Valley has been explored countless times by cultivators of Dongling Kingdom, but because the environment of Lintai Hunting Valley will change every three years, there is enough time to recuperate, and the resources in it are barely enough. Various forces in the Ling Kingdom regard it as a training ground for young disciples from various families.
Because the environment of Lintai Hunting Valley changes every three years, and there are no rules at all, the danger in it is immeasurable. Occasionally, you may even encounter monsters of the fifth or sixth rank. For these young practitioners, it is enough to die .
Ning Pingzhou looked indifferent, Ning Yuzhou wanted to go, and Emperor Cheng Hao allowed it, so what happened to him was none of their business.
Ning Yaozhu doesn't have the kindness of her elder brother, she is still aggrieved, thinking that Ning Yuzhou will always find trouble for others, since she is a mortal who can't cultivate, she should have self-knowledge, wouldn't it be good to stay in the imperial city? He has no skills, and in the end, he has to send the hidden scale guards carefully trained by Ning to protect the couple, which is simply looking for something to do.
The coughing sound in the air gradually died down, and it didn't sound again for a long time.
Ning Yaozhu couldn't help but said again: "I seem to be coughing very badly just now, could it be that I'm going to die from coughing?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ning Pingzhou scolded lightly and changed the subject, "I heard that our third brother will also go to Lintai Hunting Valley this time."
Ning Yaozhu was surprised: "He came out of retreat? Why didn't you see him when you set off earlier?"
"He didn't set off with us, he came directly after he left the customs."
Speaking of the third prince Ning Zhezhou, Ning Pingzhou's indifferent expression finally became a little more volatile, and Ning Yaozhu also became serious.
The third prince, Ning Zhezhou, is the most talented cultivator of the younger generation of the Ning clan, and his cultivation speed is also extremely fast. This year, Lintai Hunting Valley is open, and he is the one who leads the disciples of the Ning clan to practice.
Although the talent of the fifth prince Ning Pingzhou is good, he is always overwhelmed by the third prince. Although they are all disciples of the Ning family, the competition within the family is also very fierce. Ning Pingzhou also regards the third prince as a goal that must be surpassed.
This time, Ning Pingzhou was supposed to lead the disciples of the Ning family to practice. Who knew that Ning Zhezhou just passed the customs, so Emperor Cheng Hao decided to let Ning Zhezhou lead the team, and Ning Yaozhu was very unhappy.
Until at night, when she was camping and resting, seeing Wen Mei, one of Wen's twin sisters, Ning Yaozhu pursed her lips, her face a bit obscure.
Wen Mei is Ning Zhezhou's fiancée. It is said that if the two of them can form a couple in the future, they will get twice the result with half the effort on the road of cultivation.
Wen Xian came over and said with a smile: "Ah Jiu, is your Highness the Fifth Prince leading the Ning family this time?"
It was true that which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted, Ning Yaozhu was slightly angry, and her tone became a bit blunt, "I don't know, it may be the third brother."
Wen Xian was surprised, and felt somewhat apprehensive, "So it's His Royal Highness the Third Prince, has he left the customs?"
"yes."
"I don't know how his current cultivation is? He used to..."
Ning Yaozhu interrupted her, and said bluntly: "You came to me specifically to talk about third brother?"
Wen Xian didn't know that the little princess of the Ning family was angry, and she wanted to make friends with Ning Yaozhu, so she naturally didn't want to make her angry, so she hurriedly said, "No, I'm here to look for you, so I'll take a look at my third sister, Today I seem to hear her having a bad cough."
Ning Yaozhu snorted coldly, she didn't like Ning Zhezhou or Ning Yuzhou. Similarly, the Wen sisters who had a relationship with them naturally didn't like it either.
Immediately flung his sleeves and left.
Wen Xian didn't know who had offended the little princess of the Ning family, she didn't want to have a relationship with her, and she didn't want to go to Wen Qiao right now, but chased after Ning Yaozhu and coaxed the little princess a lot to make the little princess happy.

When Wen Qiao woke up, it was already night, and the traveling team also took the opportunity to camp and rest.
She looked around and found that she was sleeping in a tent, with a soft blanket under her body, and her whole body was sunk in the warm mattress, so she couldn't feel the coldness of the wilderness night.
Ning Yuzhou sat sideways, flipping through a book in her hand, and she noticed it immediately when she woke up.
"Are you hungry?" Ning Yuzhou asked, pouring a cup of elixir tea to her lips.
Wen Qiao just woke up, she was still a little confused, so she just drank the herbal tea he fed in a daze.
When she woke up, her face was a little red, she struggled to get up, and was about to say something when she saw Ning Yuzhou bring out the Lingmi porridge that was warm in the food box, and put it on her stomach.
"You slept for most of the day, eat something first, and continue to sleep later." Ning Yuzhou said, put the food box on the small desk beside him, took a spoon and handed it to her.
She was very hungry, but she had no appetite, but seeing Ning Yuzhou's appearance, she reluctantly responded and drank the porridge silently.
Wen Qiao did not bring her caring maid, Lian Yue, when she went to Lintai Hunting Valley this time. After all, Lian Yue is a mortal, so it is better to stay in the Seventh Prince's Mansion for safety. So now there is no maid to serve her, and she needs to do everything by herself. Fortunately, Ning Yuzhou also takes care of her, but she is a little embarrassed to be taken care of by him.
Ning Yuzhou stared at her and said, "Your body..."
"The meridians are naturally fragile, and the internal organs are infected with fire poison." Wen Qiao said calmly, these are also the diagnoses of the pharmacists.
Ning Yuzhou thought, in the blood stains on the veil, the red and purple blood really seemed to be corroded by some kind of fire poison, but...
Wen Qiao didn't have much appetite, so after barely eating, she threw away the spoon.
Ning Yuzhou handed her another cup of spiritual tea to moisten her throat, and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, continue to rest."
Wen Qiao is really lethargic, every time the fire poison attacks, it will exhaust the few vitality in her body, she can only lie on the bed all day long, like a useless person who can't do anything, let alone practice.
Soon, she fell asleep again.
Ning Yuzhou sat on the side and watched over her, staring at her pale face thoughtfully.
The next day, the big troops continued to set off before dawn.
Wen Qiao was carried into the monster car in her sleep. Many people saw this scene. Although they didn't say anything, the meaning was obvious in their eyes.
Ning Yuzhou didn't care what the others thought, followed into the monster car, and lowered the curtain to block all view from the outside.
On both sides of the monster car guarded by the hidden scale guards in black armor.
Wen Qiao slept deeply, and vaguely felt that she was being moved by someone, but she really couldn't open her eyes, so she could only follow the other person's movement, and soon fell into a deep sleep again.
After waking up after sleeping like this, when Wen Qiao finally regained her spirits, the large army had already arrived at Lintai Mountain.
