Chapter 605 Competition of Miraculous Herbs

Baili Rui only slightly changed his expression and then accepted the Fire Glossy Ganoderma.

Since it was for his student, naturally, it would not be a waste for this precious thing.

On the other hand, Gu Die was shocked. Seeing the extremely precious Fire Glossy Ganoderma, her flames of jealousy were about to be ignited.

“Since it’s something she usually uses, we can’t be careless about it. It’s her good luck to have gone on such an adventure. It’s a blessing that others can’t get. We’d better pray for ourselves so that we won’t be laughed at by others.”

Baili Rui’s words were sarcastic and were naturally meant for Gu Die’s ears.

Although he had lived in a dark dungeon for so many years, he had a casual and elegant bearing.

From the look in Gu Die’s eyes when she looked at Long Tianyu, he could tell that she had feelings for him.

However, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Long Tianyu was being extremely considerate to Lin Mengya.

Such a man was destined to make only one woman happy.

As for those who were sad because of him, they were just asking for trouble.

“Give it to me.”

To everyone’s surprise, Gu Die reached her hand out to Baili Rui.

In fact, even she herself was a little surprised.

But as soon as she saw the way Long Tianyu was treating Lin Mengya, she felt that there was a needle pricking her soft heart.

“Humph, you’re overestimating yourself.”

Baili Rui refused her without hesitation.

However, Gu Die turned her head and forced a stiff smile.

“My prescription for treating the epidemic needs the Fire Glossy Ganoderma. Therefore, for the sake of tens of thousands of people, it must be given to me!”

The reason was so far-fetched. Not to mention Baili Rui, even Xiao Yixin and Long Tianyu, who knew nothing about medicine, could see through her lies.

Using the interests of tens of millions of people as an excuse, Gu Die felt that she must be crazy.

If it were in the past, she would definitely have disdained using such a high-sounding reason to seize something.

But now, she had completely forgotten all the etiquette.

As long as she could take away everything from Lin Mengya, she had a chance at happiness.

Baili Rui did not refute because he felt that this matter had nothing to do with medicine.

Long Tianyu turned around and faced Gu Die for the first time.

Before she had time to feel her racing heartbeat, a big slender hand suddenly grabbed her throat.

This was the first time that she had been so close to Long Tianyu.

However, the pain in her neck made her sharply realize that he had the intention to kill her!

He wanted to kill her!

“Let… let go of me!”

The pain finally woke Gu Die up.

She no longer looked at Long Tianyu with infatuation. Instead, she was truly witnessing how terrifying he was.

Her fingers tightened. She struggled with all her strength, but soon, she found that her efforts were in vain.

The burning pain caused by suffocation seemed to suck her consciousness away.

“Enough, don’t be impulsive. It’s not the time to kill him now.”

Xiao Yixin stepped forward. Although he didn’t like this inexplicable Gu Die,

he knew better than anyone that Gu Die could not be killed now.

Long Tianyu cast a cold glance at him and finally let go of his hand.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Die fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Her face was flushed red, but her heart was filled with boundless unwillingness.

Why? Why had Long Tianyu chosen to hurt her heart in this way?

She was as noble as Lin Mengya. Perhaps in some ways, she could help Long Tianyu more than Lin Mengya.

And so why did he not even give her a look?

She was not convinced. She really didn’t want to give up!

“Just this once.”

Long Tianyu’s face was cold. He did not care whether the person sitting in front of him was a great hero who treated the plague or not.

From the moment she dared to touch Lin Mengya, she had been a dead woman.

He knew tens of millions of ways to kill a person.

The reason why he hadn’t avoided Gu Die this time was he wanted to warn her.

If it was for Lin Mengya, he could seek out the most precious treasure in the world and kill all the people who upset her.

“It… It belongs to the people of the world! Are you really not afraid that the people will despise you when they find out you are like this?”

With moist eyes, Gu Die was still unwilling to give up.

Her father had once said that the most important things for powerful people were fame and wealth.

If Long Tianyu got her, he would gain both fame and wealth.

As long as she spread the news, everyone in the world would think that Long Tianyu had ignored the people’s lives in Yun State for a woman.

At that time, he would be disgraced.

“Since that’s the case, Dr. Gu, take it away. You’re right. The people in this world are more important. It’s reasonable for me to give the medicine to you.”

The atmosphere in the tent had changed because of a sudden voice.

Lin Mengya, dressed in a light purple dress, moved slowly from the tent’s door to be in front of them.

Her eyes were as clear as water, but they were gentle and peaceful. There was no trace of hostility in her ancient gaze.

Compared with the awkward appearance of Gu Die, she was still dignified and elegant in her actions and was indeed more charming and noble.

“You! Don’t be hypocritical! If it weren’t for you, Long Tianyu would definitely have taken out this herb!”

Gu Die had been blinded by jealousy, so she was putting all the blame on Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya, for some unknown reason, didn’t get angry at all after hearing her words.

On the contrary, there was a faint smile playing around the corners of her mouth. She looked at Gu Die, who was sitting on the ground.

“If it weren’t for me, Prince Yu wouldn’t have found the Fire Glossy Ganoderma.”

What a heavy counterattack!

Even Baili Rui and Xiao Yixin witnessed Lin Mengya’s gentle attack, which made Gu Die furious.

She broke Gu Die’s’ heart by showing off their love.

After Lin Mengya finished her words, she winked playfully.

She could bear being poisoned.

After all, the other party didn’t know that she was a master of detoxification. Besides, she also had her teacher as an add-on to help her.

She could fulfill her wish for the Fire Glossy Ganoderma.

Although it was a joke that the herb was for the people of the world, at least it could make up her image and improve her reputation.

However, in her view, those who coveted her husband should be put to death by dismemberment.

Therefore, she would not show any mercy!

“You! You’re distorting logic and talking speciously!”

Gu Die, who was already in a mess, blushed and subconsciously retorted.

She didn’t want to accept everything Lin Mengya said, even if it was true.

“Your Highness, why are you so angry? Although I’m weak and may die soon, for the sake of the overall situation, please don’t argue with Doctor Gu. The lives of the people in Yun State are much more valuable than mine. For the sake of all the people in the world, Your Highness, please give the Fire Glossy Ganoderma to Doctor Gu.”

Lin Mengya’s eyes were sparkling, and there seemed to be traces of tears in them.

She pleaded with Long Tianyu pitifully while the latter was stunned.

“Your Highness, don’t be stubborn. It’s worth it to sacrifice me in exchange for tens of millions of people’s life. It’s a worthy death for me!”

She spoke emotionally. Then, she fell into Long Tianyu’s arms as if she was too weak to bear the burden.

“Ahem… People are watching outside.”

Coughing loudly, she whispered in Long Tianyu’s ear.

In an instant, Long Tianyu, who was stiff, understood what she was doing.

“My dear, you have to hang on.”

In his heart, he was really helpless against this clever fox.

However, he managed to cooperate with her.

Baili Rui and Xiao Yixin were stunned by Lin Mengya’s words.

If Lin Mengya hadn’t turned around and winked at them, they would have thought that she really had an incurable disease.

“Princess, you… Alas, it’s all my fault because I’m not good at medicine. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made you fall into such a situation.”

Baili Rui was old now, so he was naturally thick-skinned.

In particular, he had always treated the rules as nothing.

He could put on this kind of bitter show with great ease.

Xiao Yixin felt that the corner of his mouth was twitching unconsciously.

He lowered his head and covered the smile on his face, which seemed about to burst out.

However, in other people’s eyes, what they saw was his sorrowful face, as if he was regretting that he could not save Princess Yu.

“Your Highness… Your Highness, you’re really kind and righteous!”

All of a sudden, an old but excited voice came from outside.

Under Gu Die’s shocked gaze, Lin Mengya perfectly completed the transformation from an enchantress to a goddess with her superb acting skills.

“Why are you here? Please go back. It’s not a big deal. To cure the plague, the prince had already taken out all his family’s money to help the victims. I just gave up a herb. Nothing serious.”

Lin Mengya, leaning into Long Tianyu’s arms, put a weak smile on her face.

However, Long Tianyu knew what this clever girl was up to.

These people must have been arranged by her to support him.

He didn’t know what Lin Mengya was thinking and had not expected that she would play such a trick.

On the other hand, Gu Die, who had fallen to the ground, had yet to recover from her shock.

She looked at Lin Mengya with a dull expression on her face. What on earth had happened just now?

“The people of the Yun State will never forget your great kindness. It’s just that this herb is too precious. Please take back your words and cherish your own life. Otherwise, we will have no hope.”

A man in his fifties knelt on the ground and said sincerely.
