Desperate as she watched her Magic Wand fall into the water, Chen Lianlian almost fainted from anger. In this critical situation, this useless thing didn’t use magic to repel the enemy, but instead dragged her down. Chen Lianlian truly regretted having boarded the same boat with Yun Sheng; she had already forgotten her earlier scheming. "Throw her overboard," ordered Chen Lianlian, brimming with annoyance, to her two subordinates next to her. "Oops, slipped," Yun Sheng lifted a fist and then kicked, in the flurry of hands and feet, she had already kicked the two people next to her into the river. Want to use me as fish food? One by one, all go down first! Within moments, only Yun Sheng and Chen Lianlian were left on their bamboo raft. Although both Yun Sheng and Chen Lianlian were Mages, Yun Sheng’s physique was far better than that of a singular Mage like Chen Lianlian. As the two competed, hundreds of Water Arrow Wing Fish gathered, their backs swarming, forming a densely packed mass. "Go help," Crown Prince Ye Beilian, upon seeing this, moved by compassion, ordered his followers to rescue them, commanding the Hunter Soldiers to attack the water surface. This attack, which was already turbulent, made the water even more chaotic. "Crown Prince, you mustn’t! We cannot attack the fish directly, it will attract more," Zhou Quan discovered, but it was already too late. Stimulated by the attack, the fish became agitated. The Water Arrow Wing Fish kept shooting arrow-like water jets from the surface. Chen Lianlian, dragged around by Yun Sheng, was hit by water jets several times, causing multiple wounds on her face and body. On the other hand, Yun Sheng seemed flustered but was in fact very agile. Dodging and weaving, not a spot on her was hurt, not even wet. Compared to the chaos on the other rafts, Ye Beiming stood on the bamboo raft, his face calm. "Why aren’t you going to save her?" Qi and Ye Beiming were on the same raft. "Don’t you think she is quite enjoying herself?" Ye Beiming said with a smile, watching Yun Sheng dodge and scurry around, giving Chen Lianlian a hard time. He sincerely felt that his own judgment was excellent indeed. If he could have such a Princess, his future days would be much more interesting. Qi paused slightly, then looked again at Yun Sheng on the raft. He suddenly felt that between Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming, there seemed to be a special kind of understanding that outsiders could never break. In Qi’s heart, a bitterness spread. "Ah!" A miserable scream sounded. Losing her Magic Wand, Chen Lianlian’s magic chanting slowed significantly, her face was pierced by a Water Arrow Wing Fish, creating a large gash. A piercing pain surged, and she felt a rotten gash immediately forming on her face. The venom of the Water Arrow Wing Fish! Chen Lianlian despaired, her face stained with the venom. "Someone come save me! Who will save me," Chen Lianlian was on the verge of collapse. "Chen Lianlian, if you don’t court death, you won’t die. Next time, if you dare to mess with me again, it won’t just be your face paying the price," Chen Lianlian felt a chill breeze behind her ears. She suddenly realized something with a jolt. Yun Sheng had already discovered her actions from last night. The next moment, she felt a strong force pushing her out from below. Yun Sheng cast a Wind Magic spell behind her, and both of them fell into the water simultaneously. "Snowflakes drifting, miles of Ice Seal!" In the nick of time, a Mage specializing in Ice Magic within the Crown Prince’s team began chanting. The sky suddenly dropped many snowflakes, and as the hexagonal flakes touched the water surface, the once rapidly flowing water instantly froze solid. All the fish were sealed beneath the ice. After some effort, Yun Sheng and Chen Lian Lian were also rescued. Having faced life and death, losing her Magic Wand not to mention, and narrowly escaping death in the jaws of a fish, Chen Lian Lian burst into tears as soon as she was rescued. She had been the Heavenly Pride Girl, pampered by her family, pursued by admirers daily; never had she experienced a day like today. But now her face was disfigured, and her whole body was bruised blue and purple from the cold, far from her usual beauty. The Crown Prince frowned ceaselessly upon seeing this. "It’s her! She’s the one behind all this, she knocked my Magic Wand off and pushed me from the raft!" Chen Lian Lian cried for a moment, seeing that no one paid attention, and then glared at Yun Sheng, the culprit. She was still wearing Ye Beiming’s coat. "Ms. Chen, how can you say that? Both of you fell into the water at the same time. Moreover, I saw Miss Yun attempting to swim over to save you after you fell. Do you have any evidence for your claims?" Ye Beiming pretended to be troubled, asking Chen Lianlian for evidence. The more Chen Lianlian listened, the sadder she became. Evidence, where would she get evidence? All the people on that bamboo raft had died. Could she possibly capture some Water Arrow Wing Fish to interrogate them? Chen Lianlian felt endlessly frustrated, realizing that she had underestimated Yun Sheng. After this incident, Chen Lianlian also had an unhappy quarrel with the Crown Prince because of her face. She insisted staunchly that her face have no scars whatsoever, demanding that the Crown Prince give her a share of the Elixir after finding the Six-leaf Purple Ginseng and transforming it into an Elixir. Disturbed and harrowed, the Crown Prince finally agreed to her demands. Chen Lianlian had no choice but to wear a gauze hat and follow the team towards the border of Hou Qin. Three days later, the group finally reached the border between Hou Qin and Great Zhou, Luoxia City. Ten miles outside Luoxia City is the place rumored to have discovered Six-leaf Purple Ginseng in earlier years, Luoxia Swamp. Even a hundred years ago, Luoxia City was just an insignificant small city, not famous among all the border cities of Great Zhou. But ninety years ago, an old hunter accidentally found a Holy Herb, the Six-leaf Purple Ginseng, in the wetland area outside Luoxia City. That Holy-grade Purple Ginseng was eventually sold for the astonishing high price of ten thousand Imperial Purple Gold Coins. Since then, the name of Luoxia City, like a storm, quickly swept across the continent. Hunter Soldiers hoping to make a fortune, as well as merchants from various countries, flooded into Luoxia City, hoping to be lucky enough to find a Holy Herb. Because of this ginseng hunting craze, Luoxia City prospered, rapidly growing from a small city to a medium-sized city between Great Zhou and Hou Qin. Each year, the number of people entering and leaving Luoxia City is no less than hundreds of thousands. This area inadvertently became the busiest commercial spot along the borders of Hou Qin and Great Zhou, well-known merchants from all over the Wuji Continent frequented here. Yet, aside from that old hunter, no one else found Purple Ginseng outside Luoxia City. Until half a month ago, rumors emerged that a Seven-leaf Purple Ginseng had been discovered near Luoxia City, once again turning it into the focus of worldly attention. This time, Yun Sheng and others came here specifically for the Seven-leaf Purple Ginseng.
