Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Maybe Next Time, I’ll Definitely Look for You Guys

Mu Silin’s gaze darkened.

"There are too many Lizardmen. Fighting them endlessly isn’t a solution. We have to cure her poison first!"

After all, he had just slain a group of Lizardmen, only to discover that the beasts were basically endless. He had no idea how many of them lived down in this abyss.

Bai Chaosi heard this and had to agree.

However, he looked at Shen Yue in Mu Silin’s arms.

"Give her to me."

Mu Silin shot back, "No. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. You just want to administer the antidote. You don’t need to worry about her. I will be responsible for her safety."

Bai Chaosi’s voice was cool and gentle.

"You took it upon yourself to cure her while she was unconscious, without her consent. What gives you the right to be responsible for her safety?"

"The heat poison was acting up. This General couldn’t just stand by and watch her die. Besides, this General and she are already engaged. As her Beast Husband, what’s wrong with me curing her poison?"

Bai Chaosi scoffed.

"Beast Husband? You’re not the only one engaged to her, and you’re not the only one who can cure her. Don’t make this Young Master repeat himself. Give her to me. I’ll administer the antidote."

Mu Silin narrowed his eyes.

"And what if I don’t?"

"You don’t? Then you want to watch her die as the heat poison attacks her heart?"

Mu Silin retorted, "If you hadn’t shown up, I would have already cured her. How could the heat poison possibly attack her heart? Only I am worthy of curing this poison! You don’t have the right."

"I don’t have the right? And you do? Don’t forget, my Nine-tailed Fox Clan hasn’t broken off the engagement with the Duke Mansion either. I am also her legitimate Beast Husband."

The two of them were at daggers drawn, looking like they were about to start a fight.

Shen Yue: "..."

’Uh...’

’This...’

’When did I become such a hot commodity in their eyes?’

’Why are they fighting over who gets to cure my poison?’

’Good thing I pretended to faint, and the Vitality Water cured the poison just in time.’

’Otherwise, with that burning lust consuming me, and two men fighting over me... I probably would have died from the poison before I even got to sleep with either of them!’

’I might have been long dead, and the two of them would still be arguing over who gets to cure me!’

’A man’s competitive drive is terrifying!’

She peeked through her squinted eyes, secretly watching as the auras around the two men grew colder and colder. In short, neither was willing to back down.

But the sound of the Lizardmen crawling up from behind was clearly getting closer.

’If this keeps up, are we ever going to get out of here?’

She took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes.

"Um, whatever grievances you two have, how about you settle them after we get out of here?"

SWISH!

The two men turned to look at her in unison.

"Or, next time I get poisoned, you can play rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets to cure me. How about that?"

The two of them seemed not to have expected her to overhear their conversation and were suddenly a bit embarrassed.

Shen Yue coughed and hopped out of Mu Silin’s arms.

"Thank you both. I appreciate the sentiment. You even jumped down from above to save me, and I’m incredibly moved. But right now, I think getting out of here is more important."

Mu Silin felt the emptiness in his arms, and a wave of disappointment washed over him.

He looked at Shen Yue.

"But your poison... the Mutated Lizard’s poison must be cured. Any later and it will be life-threatening. Nothing is more important than curing you first."

’Wrong.’

’There is something.’

’And that’s you two arguing.’

Bai Chaosi also knew how potent the Mutated Lizard’s poison was.

He nodded in agreement.

"That’s right. The antidote comes first."

As he spoke, a hint of worry appeared on his gentle face, and he gazed at her intently.

"Shen Yue, I won’t let you die. Choose one of us to administer the antidote. As long as you choose with your own words, I will accept it."

Shen Yue: "..."

’What the hell? They’re letting me choose?’

’I’m a little overwhelmed by the favor.’

"Really? If I actually choose, you won’t get mad and start fighting, will you?"

Bai Chaosi’s gentle face was completely serious.

"I won’t. Nothing is more important than your life."
