Chapter 135 Ye Qingcheng Rescued

Ye Qingcheng stayed in the cave for a long time, but the leader never returned.

Just then, a rope suddenly dropped from the sky down a cliff not far away.

All the savages looked alertly towards the top of the cliff.

Who else was coming down from above?

The savages gathered in front of their respective caves, chattering and pointing at the rope.

"Your Highness, it's here!" a shout echoed. Ye Qingcheng recognized Lin Xiao's voice and immediately walked out of the cave.

"I'm here!" she waved her hands and shouted upwards.

"Consort, we'll be down shortly."

Hearing the conversation between Lin Xiao and Ye Qingcheng, the savages became even more furious. The leader, who had not shown himself, reappeared from somewhere, letting out a roar at Lin Xiao's challenge.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wangye also appeared. Seeing Xiao Wangye's figure peering from above, Ye Qingcheng felt a sense of disbelief.

Xiao Wangye's gaze swept across Ye Qingcheng's face before meeting the eyes of the strong leader beside her.

Ye Qingcheng could feel that the leader beside her added a degree of seriousness and caution to his roar.

Then, Ye Qingcheng felt the savages beside her leap up a rope.

Xiao Wangye looked at the savages ascending from below, their dirty faces revealing sharp eyes that fixed on Xiao Wangye and the wheelchair beneath him.

A hint of disdain flickered in his eyes, but Xiao Wangye did not feel displeased.

He looked at the savage leader, his face devoid of any expression.

"Your Highness, let me handle this." Xiao Si, standing beside him, was eager for a fight. Lin Xiao had been defeated, and he wanted to see how powerful this savage was.

The savage leader stood there like a small mountain. Xiao Si directly swung his long sword. However, this savage, despite his large build, surprisingly dodged Xiao Si's cleaving sword with great agility.

Lin Xiao shook his head. He had also assumed the savages only possessed brute strength, but he hadn't expected their movements to be so nimble.

As expected, after evading Xiao Si, the savage immediately delivered a side-ram, subduing Xiao Si to the ground.

Xiao Si, lying on the ground, was completely incredulous, having been defeated in less than a single move.

The savage looked at Xiao Wangye in the wheelchair with a provocative expression.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao's anger towards the savage flared up.

As he took a step forward, he was stopped by the Prince beside him.

"Your Highness, let me go teach him a lesson," Lin Xiao said indignantly.

"No need, I'll go," Xiao Wangye turned his wheelchair, immediately drawing the savage's attention.

For some reason, the savage felt a sense of impending danger when facing Xiao Wangye. This was an instinct honed from years of survival in the wild.

He gradually shed his disdain.

Seeing that Xiao Wangye made no move, he launched the first attack.

As he was about to charge at Xiao Wangye, Xiao Wangye raised a hand and accurately struck him in the stomach.

He felt a tremendous impact from the palm, followed by a sharp pain in his abdomen. He was sent flying several meters away by the blow.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Xiao Wangye, knowing he was no match for him.

Xiao Wangye remained seated, motionless.

The two stared at each other for a while. The savage turned and leaped off the cliff.

Xiao Si grumbled, "He ran away when he couldn't win." He then turned to Xiao Wangye, "Your Highness, what do we do now?"

Before he could say anything more, he saw the savage climbing back up from the cliff, with someone slung over his shoulder.

Wasn't that his consort?

"Consort! Consort!"

Hearing Xiao Si's surprised cries, she felt like she was going to vomit.

From her position below, she couldn't see what was happening above. She saw the savage leader descend and then hoist her onto his shoulder.

She was completely unprepared, and the leader's shoulder was so hard, digging into her stomach, making her feel nauseous.

The savage put Ye Qingcheng down, glanced back at Xiao Wangye, and then jumped off the cliff again.

"Consort, are you alright?" Xiao Si looked at Ye Qingcheng's pale face. "Consort, you have suffered so much."

"I'm fine. Stop hovering in front of me," Ye Qingcheng waved her hand.

After Ye Qingcheng recovered, she asked, "Are there only the three of you here?"

She had expected a large contingent of soldiers to be sent for suppression and had been thinking about how to survive in the savage tribe if they didn't arrive too soon.

"Thanks to Your Highness, he dealt with that savage with just one palm," Xiao Si enthusiastically recounted the scene to her.

Ye Qingcheng gained a new understanding of Xiao Wangye's martial arts. She hadn't expected his internal energy to be so formidable.

Looking at Xiao Wangye, she also said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Wangye looked at Ye Qingcheng without speaking, feeling a slight displeasure. He took out his handkerchief and said, "Wipe your face."

"Oh, oh." Ye Qingcheng took the handkerchief and then remembered that the savage leader had touched her face. Heavens! Her face was covered in black smudges.

Thinking this, she rubbed her face several times.

On the way down the mountain, Xiao Si and Lin Xiao pushed Xiao Wangye. Ye Qingcheng, thinking about the internal energy Xiao Si had mentioned, couldn't help but be curious.

"Your Highness, your internal energy is so powerful." Since arriving here, she hadn't witnessed such magical ancient internal energy.

"Tell me, can I learn it?" Ye Qingcheng asked. So far, she had only learned martial arts moves; if she had internal energy, perhaps she could have a guarantee for her future travels in the martial world.

"You want to learn?" Xiao Wangye tapped the handle of his wheelchair. "I'll find you a master."

"Really?" Ye Qingcheng exclaimed with surprise. "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Wangye looked at the happy Ye Qingcheng beside him and considered the day's events. It was indeed necessary for her to learn some internal energy for self-protection.

Upon returning to the inn, Ye Qingcheng placed the snow lotus into the alchemical furnace. As the flames burned continuously, a pill was refined.

Ye Qingcheng quickly had Xiao Wangye take it.

"This should resolve it," Chu Xiu concluded after examining Xiao Wangye's pulse the day after he took the pill.

"Then the remaining issue is the leg ailment," Ye Qingcheng looked at Xiao Wangye's legs. "Your Highness, rest assured, I will treat it as soon as possible after we return to the mansion."

Xiao Wangye lowered his gaze, wishing in his heart that his leg ailment wouldn't be cured so quickly.

"Consort, you need to open your legs wider, not keep them so close together. Press your body down and feel your dantian."

In the courtyard, Ye Qingcheng listened to the female master's instructions, taking a deep breath and exhaling shallowly.

After returning to the Prince's mansion, Xiao Wangye acted swiftly, finding her a master the very next day.

However, she hadn't expected that learning internal energy would also require practicing horse stance. Ye Qingcheng felt like crying.

After two consecutive days of horse stance, Ye Qingcheng could already feel the existence of her dantian.

"Consort, you are just beginning to practice, and this is not the best age for martial arts training. You must work even harder."

"I understand, Master Su."

Gradually, under Master Su's guidance, Ye Qingcheng performed a set of fist techniques to channel her internal energy.

Watching the tree branches sway under her fists, Ye Qingcheng sighed. Her efforts over the past month had not been in vain.
