Lu Xueyuan withdrew from the imperial doctors who had just come to treat her, and then quietly asked the city lord of Twilight City, "City lord, your health is okay now, right?" I've heard before that your body has to rely on the Black Flame Stone for healing, right?" Lu Xueyuan said as he looked intently at Twilight Tianxing's somewhat weak body.

"Ah, Miss Lu, don't worry, although my current body is not very healthy, but thanks to the Black Flame Stone, I am still a little sure, and now you know the secret of my Hundred Gardens, in short, there is a way to cure my illness, and Miss Lu, you don't need to worry, just stay here." Twilight Tianxing said and turned to Yu Dan and said, "Yu Dan, you must take care of Miss Lu here, if there is anything missing, you don't have to report it to me, just go to the chief manager." He finished speaking and walked out.

"Yes, City Lord, Yu Dan remembers what the City Lord said!" Yu Dan bowed, had already prepared the food and medicinal materials that had just been prepared, walked over and handed them to Lu Xueyuan, but Lu Xueyuan saw that the food on the table did not have the slightest appetite to eat, but drank those decoctions and medicines, and then said to Yu Dan: "Yu Dan, I am a little sleepy, I want to rest for a while, if you have nothing to do, go back, I can do it myself."

"Okay, Miss Lu, I'll go and see how the herbs prepared for you are doing." After finishing speaking, even Yu Dan retreated together.

Lu Xueyuan was the only one left in the whole room, and she felt very tired from her strong spirit to now, so she fell asleep directly on the bed after drinking the medicine. But Lu Xueyuan had a dream when he just fell asleep, and there seemed to be a very big fierce beast in that dream, hiding, and not letting her find its traces, but Lu Xueyuan could feel the fluctuating aura around him with his spiritual power.

In the dream, Lu Xueyuan didn't know where he was, but around him was a dense and verdant forest, the woods were full of miasma, Lu Xueyuan had to walk carefully in the woods, and suddenly a strange cry disturbed the entire forest, and a large group of birds suddenly flew out of the top air fluttering their wings, which was terrifying. At the same time, in a place that Lu Xueyuan couldn't see, there was an unusually huge snake tail, which was constantly sweeping around, it was the king of ten thousand snakes in this jungle.

Lu Xueyuan's heart trembled, and his footsteps moved a small step. "Hissβ€”β€”! A giant python spewed out a letter to Lu Xueyuan, Lu Xueyuan hurriedly held his breath and dodged, and after the python fluttered a few times, it disappeared again.

Lu Xueyuan breathed a sigh of relief, it was really dangerous just now, this giant python was really powerful! At this moment, suddenly a green shadow burst out from the side, Lu Xueyuan hurriedly transported spiritual power protection, who expected that the green shadow turned out to be a giant wolf, it roared at Lu Xueyuan and rushed up, Lu Xueyuan waved his hand and cut it down, but the wolf's skin was very hard, and ordinary blades could not pierce it at all. So Lu Xueyuan used all his strength to slap the wolf's head with one palm, but to her surprise, the wolf's head was shattered by her, but the wolf still did not die, but became even more manic.

"Roar-" After a long howl, the wolf turned into countless afterimages and pounced on Lu Xueyuan, Lu Xueyuan desperately dodged, but she was still scratched by her clothes, her chest suddenly flowed into a river of blood, she gritted her teeth and pierced the wolf's head with the blade in her hand, and the giant wolf gradually stopped struggling, and finally lay on the ground and died.

Lu Xueyuan covered the wound, gasping, she raised her head to look at the canopy, a round bead was revealed between the fluttering leaves, the bead was pale gold, exuding a soft light, Lu Xueyuan stretched out his right hand and slowly picked the bead, the bead just touched Lu Xueyuan's fingertips and turned into a puddle of liquid into her blood.

Lu Xueyuan felt a huge force filling her whole body, and her soul seemed to become extremely comfortable in this huge force. Endless flames suddenly erupted from her body, and the flames burned more and more, Lu Xueyuan couldn't stand the heat, and only felt that the bones in her whole body were about to burst.

"Ahh

"Yu Dan." Lu Xueyuan propped herself up and looked at Yu Dan, she felt dizzy, and then grabbed Yu Dan's shoulder,

Yu Dan asked with concern, "Miss Lu, what's wrong with you!"

"I'm ......," Lu Xueyuan spurted out bright red blood as soon as he opened his mouth.

Yu Dan hurriedly helped Lu Xueyuan wipe away the blood stains, and then said, "Miss Lu, you rest first, and I will go and inform the chief manager and the city lord immediately."

Lu Xueyuan shook his head: "Don't bother, I feel much better now." Lu Xueyuan stood up and said, "You help me freshen up, and I'll go and see the chief and the city lord to discuss how to deal with the plague."

"yes, okay." Yu Dan helped Lu Xueyuan to walk to the bathroom, and when the two of them walked halfway, they heard a noise outside the door, Lu Xueyuan frowned, and said to Yu Dan, "You are guarding outside the door, and no one is allowed to break in!"

"Yes." After speaking, Yu Dan pushed open the door and walked out, while Lu Xueyuan quickly took off his clothes and walked into the bath, when the warm water soaked Lu Xueyuan's delicate skin, she felt that there was an abundant spiritual power in the pool water, she stretched out her arm and soaked in the warm water.

"Squeak!" At that moment, the door opened.

Lu Xueyuan's heart rang loudly, and he quickly put on his clothes and scolded angrily, "Who is it?!" She couldn't help but speak, and immediately condensed the Lone God Sword and pointed out the door.

A man in armor walked in, with a smile on his face, and said to Lu Xueyuan, "Miss Lu, don't be afraid, we have no malicious intent, I am the adjutant under General Hu Sheng Hu, and I am ordered to come to protect your safety."

"Adjutant?" Lu Xueyuan frowned and said, "I haven't received any news, why did Hu Sheng's people appear here!"

The adjutant smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, I sneaked out, General Hu was worried about Miss Lu's situation and specially ordered his subordinates to come down to investigate, and now I am relieved to see that Miss Lu is fine."

Lu Xueyuan squinted at the male soldier, although he looked calm on the surface, his eyes flashed with panic.

Lu Xueyuan snorted coldly and said, "In that case, please forgive me for not believing you, after all, your duty is to protect the safety of the city lord. If you're here to protect me, then I need you to promise never to appear in my presence again."

"Ahem...... adjutant touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Miss Lu, don't get me wrong, I'm indeed here to protect Miss Lu." As he spoke, he took out a piece of jade pendant and said, "This is the token given to me by General Leader Hu Shenghu, I want Miss Lu not to forget the agreement with him, Miss Lu, you see that I have not deceived you."

"Oh!" Lu Xueyuan took the token over and observed it carefully. The token is oval-shaped, with dragon and phoenix patterns painted on it, and the carving is very exquisite, and there is a faint hint of spiritual power.

"This is Commander Hu's personal jade pendant, Commander Hu said that as long as you have this jade pendant, you can enter and leave this city at will, even ...... The entire City Lord's Mansion in Twilight City." The adjutant looked at the jade pendant in Lu Xueyuan's hand and said, "Sect Leader Hu really loves Miss Lu very much." His tone of voice was very sincere, but Lu Xueyuan didn't think so, because she knew that the reason why Hu Sheng did this was just because of the big agreement between them, Hu Sheng wanted Lu Xueyuan to help him get rid of the city lord Du Tianxing.

"Then you will convey a word to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for me." Lu Xueyuan pondered for a moment and said, "The plague here is menacing, if I don't prepare in advance, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it, I hope he can prepare early." With that, she threw the jade pendant to the adjutant, and then ordered him to leave her room, while the adjutant stood outside the door for a long time, holding the jade pendant in his hand.

As soon as Lu Xueyuan wanted to sort out her thoughts, she saw Yu Dan coming in from outside the door, and she asked with concern, "Miss Lu, are you okay?" Lu Xueyuan smiled and said, "Don't you think I look good? I feel good."

Yu Dan nodded and said, "Miss Lu, it seems that Commander Hu Sheng is very concerned about the affairs of your body, and he also asked me to tell you that you don't have to worry, he will solve this matter." In addition, Commander Hu Sheng would like to invite you to go outside the city for a while." Chinese Net

Lu Xueyuan said in his heart, "Why is it Hu Sheng again? Could it be that Yu Dan also has something to do with him?" After that, he frowned suspiciously: "Outside the city?"

"That's right," Yu Dan nodded with a grin, "Commander Hu seems to care about you!" Are you going?

」

Lu Xueyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay, then go and meet him."

"Miss Lu, your wounds have been treated, now let's go eat something, you have just woken up and need to replenish some strength."

"Hmm!" Lu Xueyuan nodded, and after a while, she followed Yu Dan out of the house, which was very far away from the palace where she lived, and it took nearly a cup of tea to arrive here, it was already dusk, and the sunset shone on the majestic and magnificent City Lord's Mansion, showing a bit of solemn and solemn momentum.

There were several luxurious cars parked at the main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, and there were guards with guns standing next to the cars, and Lu Xueyuan saw a tall and beautiful woman next to the car waving to her: "Sister Xueyuan, I'm here." It turned out that this person was the daughter of Twilight Tianxing, Ren Yiyi, whom Hu Sheng had introduced to her before.

Lu Xueyuan quickened his pace and walked to the woman's side, while Ren Yiyi pretended to be affectionate and grabbed Lu Xueyuan's arm and said, "Sister Xueyuan, let's go!" Lu Xueyuan agreed softly, and then walked out of the City Lord's Mansion by Ren Yiyi, who was disguised.
