Chapter 120: The Old Servant on the Brink of Death

"Many thanks, Your Excellency! My deepest gratitude, Your Excellency!"

Granny Ke was overjoyed, kowtowing three more times with great force.

With Su Lang's protection, Ji Ruxue would no longer have to live in fear and constantly flee!

"Don't be so quick to celebrate."

Su Lang said indifferently, "The Profound Cloud Pure Moon Fire still needs another day to be fully refined.

Only then can it erase Ji Ruxue's aura and sever the clues for her pursuers."

"That Su Lang is willing to take in my Young Miss is already an immense kindness!"

Granny Ke kowtowed, "How dare we, master and servant, ask for anything more?"

Since their escape, several months had passed; waiting another day was nothing to them.

"Since that's the case, Ji Ruxue will follow me from now on."

Su Lang's lips curved into a smile. "You may rise. My name is Su Lang."

"Yes! Your Excellency Su Lang!"

Granny Ke was overjoyed beyond measure.

"Ru Xue thanks Brother Su Lang for taking her in!"

Ji Ruxue's eyes showed gratitude, and she gracefully bowed to Su Lang, looking adorable.

"Such a good girl."

Su Lang reached out and ruffled Ji Ruxue's hair, smiling, "However, if you follow me, your life might not be too peaceful from now on."

"Since Ru Xue has decided to follow Brother Su Lang, then no matter what happens in the future, I will endure it with Brother Su Lang!"

Ji Ruxue nodded seriously, then smiled slightly, her beautiful autumn-water eyes curving into crescent moons.

"Haha, who said I need you to endure it?"

Su Lang chuckled brightly, "Since I've taken you in, I will certainly not let anyone harm you."

As soon as he spoke, Ji Ruxue immediately felt a warmth surge from her heart, and her entire being, from Soul to Physical Body, felt at ease.

"This feeling…"

Ji Ruxue's eyes shimmered.

She hadn't felt this way since she started fleeing, not until now, meeting Su Lang!

"What are you thinking about?"

Su Lang smiled, "Let's go, we should leave this place."

Ji Ruxue nodded obediently, then helped Granny Ke up.

But just then!

"Pfft!!"

Granny Ke suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight to the ground!

"Granny Ke! Granny Ke!!"

"Granny Ke, what's wrong? Please don't be hurt!"

Ji Ruxue was instantly terrified, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Her injuries must have worsened!"

Su Lang frowned, squatting down to carefully examine Granny Ke's injuries.

He found that Granny Ke was almost at the end of her rope, having held on until now with just a single breath of Qi.

Presumably, seeing Ji Ruxue's safety secured, the Qi in her heart dissipated, and she could no longer hold on.

"Brother Su Lang, please save Granny Ke!"

Ji Ruxue tugged at Su Lang's sleeve, pleading, her small face covered in tears.

"I'll try my best."

Su Lang nodded and immediately took out a large quantity of healing Medicinal Pills from his storage space.

Among these healing Medicinal Pills were many 9th-grade Medicinal Pills, which he had just acquired from Cui Tai.

Selecting one Medicinal Pill, Su Lang put it into Granny Ke's mouth.

"Brother Su Lang, Granny Ke will be alright, right?"

Ji Ruxue, her eyes blurred with tears, looked at Su Lang full of hope.

"This Dragon Tiger Blood-Generating Pill is the best Medicinal Pill."

Su Lang's expression was not good. "Granny Ke's injuries are too severe; it's questionable whether this Medicinal Pill can even sustain her life.

And most importantly, she needs to have the will to live herself. You can try to wake her up."

"En, en, I absolutely won't let Granny Ke die in front of me!"

Ji Ruxue nodded fiercely, then quickly leaned close to Granny Ke's ear, continuously recounting their happy past memories.

Time slowly flowed by.

In a blink of an eye, an hour passed.

"Brother Su Lang, Granny Ke is awake!"

Ji Ruxue's joyful voice rang out.

Su Lang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Granny Ke slowly waking up. He couldn't help but sneer, "Old woman, you want to die just like that?

Don't forget you cursed me. Those who dare to curse me must pay a price. You, old servant, must work until you die of old age!"

"Your Excellency Su Lang, this old one knows her mistake!"

Granny Ke said with immense gratitude. She wanted to kowtow to Su Lang, but her injuries prevented her from doing so.

"Alright, the Dragon Tiger Blood-Generating Pill merely sustained your life."

Su Lang waved his hand, "To truly heal your injuries, you'll need to find an Alchemist to personally refine a specific Medicinal Pill for you.

Let's go, we'll enter the city now! Ji Ruxue, Granny Ke is in your care."

With that, Su Lang turned and walked towards Nanlin City.

"Okay! Brother Su Lang!"

Ji Ruxue smiled brightly, then carried Granny Ke on her back and followed closely behind Su Lang.
