74 Cold Poison Attack

(~˘▾˘)~~(˘▾˘~)

================

"Who!"

As Xiao Fan walked into the courtyard, a hint of nervousness appeared on Lan Yuhong's face.

Seeing the person entering the yard dressed in luxurious attire and exuding an extraordinary temperament, she quickly bowed and respectfully said, "Greetings, Prince."

Xiao Fan was taken aback for a moment. Huh? This should be their first meeting, right?

"Do you know me?"

"No, but Yuhong has seen portraits of the elders and key members of the Xiao Family and has memorized them in order to avoid offending them when encountering them."

Lan Yuhong spoke cautiously.

As an outsider entering the Xiao Family who couldn't cultivate, it wouldn't matter if others saw her. However, she understood her own identity and knew that she had to establish her position among the people of the Xiao Family to avoid mistaking someone and offending them.

Lan Yuhong's dressing and actions were graceful and proper, without a trace of flattery. Her gentle and weak appearance, respectful but not obsequious, with a faint smile on her somewhat sickly pale face, evoked sympathy.

Her thoughts were indeed delicate.

Her demeanor was also natural, and her gestures of respect were skillful and careful.

It seemed that in addition to her beautiful face, Lan Yuhong also had the qualities of being graceful and delicate in her thoughts, which was another point in her favor.

To spend time with such a sensible girl day and night, if Xiao Yun wasn't moved, he would either be eunuch or gay.

Very well, I must win you over even more!

Lan Yuhong put down the broom in her hand and smiled, "Prince, please have a seat. Let me pour you a cup of hot tea."

However, as if she had thought of something, she added, "My humble abode is simple and my hospitality is inadequate. I hope the Prince will bear with me."

As Xiao Fan entered the courtyard, what caught his eye was a clean and tidy ground. Although it was simple, there were no miscellaneous items, and everything was neatly arranged, clearly showing that it had been carefully maintained.

He waved his hand to stop Lan Yuhong.

"No need to trouble yourself. I just came to understand the situation and won't take up much time."

"Understand the situation?" Lan Yuhong was stunned. Did the Prince need to personally come over to understand the situation?

"Yes, I have heard about your situation. You were born with a cold poison, and your brother Xiao Yun has been searching for doctors and medicine to cure you, running around everywhere."

"The bond between siblings is deep." Xiao Fan smiled lightly.

"Disturbing the Prince with such a trivial matter, I hope the Prince won't mind," Lan Yuhong apologized.

"Mind? No, no, Xiao Yun's efforts to gather Spirit Stones through fighting matches to save his sister are deeply moving. I came here after hearing about it, hoping to help if I can."

Xiao Fan's words left Lan Yuhong stunned.

"Prince, did you just say that my brother is participating in fighting matches?"

Lan Yuhong looked confused, clearly unaware of the situation.

"You don't know?"

Xiao Fan was also shocked.

Lan Yuhong shook her head, "My brother didn't tell me. He hasn't come back for several days and told me he was on a mission to collect Spirit Medicine."

"It seems like he doesn't want you to worry."

"But don't worry, he is very strong. He is challenging opponents of the same level and has won 79 consecutive matches out of 100. He is truly a genius."

Xiao Fan smiled and said, but he was secretly on guard. It was a familiar pattern.

Keeping the female lead in the dark and deceiving her.

Then, using someone else's words to relay the situation to her.

In this way, what the female lead sees is a man silently sacrificing for her.

And the reason the male lead hides is most likely to prevent her from feeling pressured.

As long as the man is not completely clueless, if he has a bit of talent or strength, women are both sensual and sensitive.

They love to imagine things. Just say a few sweet words, give some guidance, and who wouldn't fall for it?

It's a cliché!

Based on his observations of Xiao Yun, Xiao Fan naturally came to this conclusion. He had a scheming mind, and the things he did indeed resembled what he had done.

Indeed, after listening to Xiao Fan's words, Lan Yuhong's face showed some anxiety.

"He promised me that he would cultivate well and not take risks with his life."

"How could he deceive me!"

Although she said this, it was well known that women often say one thing but mean another. Her anxiety was genuine, as was her gratitude.

At this moment, the two maids arranged by the master of the mansion also arrived in the courtyard.

They didn't expect Xiao Fan to be here.

"Greetings, Prince."

"Who are you and why are you here?" Xiao Fan asked.

Upon hearing this, the two immediately explained their purpose.

The elder of the Internal Affairs Office dealt with Xiao Yun, locking him up in a dark room to reflect on his actions. He cried for help in the main hall, recounting everything.

Lan Yuhong, who was listening nearby, had already turned red-eyed and tears streamed down her face.

In her emotional state, the cold poison flared up, causing Lan Yuhong to feel dizzy and her body uncontrollably collapsing.

Xiao Fan acted instinctively, embracing Lan Yuhong's slender waist and holding her in his arms.

"It's alright, I'll take care of her. You two stay outside," Xiao Fan said to the two maids who had come.

Then, he carried Lan Yuhong, princess-style, and walked into the inner chamber.

The two maids were dumbfounded. The Prince was indeed too kind.

Bending down to take care of an ordinary person.

Indeed, in their eyes, someone of Xiao Fan's status could not be vulgar and would not be swayed by beauty.

After all, with his status, countless people wanted to throw themselves at him, but until now, not even a hint of scandal had emerged. The Prince was truly the most pure-hearted handsome man in the world.

Inhaling the fragrance of a virgin, Xiao Fan couldn't help but have some wandering thoughts. The thick clothes couldn't hide Lan Yuhong's perfectly proportioned figure.

The scent of a maiden wafted over.

It was still the young girl who moved people's hearts. As someone who was always faithful, Xiao Fan would forever love an eighteen-year-old girl, forever...

Ah, now is not the time to talk about this. It's time to start the strategy.

Hehehe, although I don't know what game you're playing, Xiao Yun, I will let you see how Lan Yuhong throws herself at me, wholeheartedly.

In Xiao Fan's arms, Lan Yuhong was like a perfectly formed ice beauty, feeling cold all over. She curled up, tightly hugging Xiao Fan, her already pale face turning slightly blue.

She couldn't stop trembling, her teeth chattering, and she murmured in pain, "So cold, mother, Yuhong is so cold."

Ice crystals began to form on Lan Yuhong's face, truly making her beautiful face appear cold.

She needed a warm embrace, and she happened to be held in Xiao Fan's arms. She pressed her delicate face against Xiao Fan's chest, hoping to drive away the cold with his warmth.

She held on tightly, like a drowning person clutching a life-saving straw.

The fragrance of Lan Yuhong's body, pressed against Xiao Fan's chest, sent a chill through him.

"What the hell, why is it so cold just by getting close?"

Xiao Fan was shocked and quickly placed Lan Yuhong on the bed.

The scent of the young girl was enticing, but he didn't have the mood for it now. Before, he could take advantage of the situation even if someone died.

But now, it was clearly not possible.

The jade pendant on Lan Yuhong's chest emitted a white light, warming her delicate body, but it was of no use. Her face remained as pale as snow.

"Life is truly tenacious. If it were an ordinary person, they would have long been dead."

Looking at Lan Yuhong's painful appearance, Xiao Fan couldn't help but think that she had endured the unbearable pain caused by this cold poison since she was young. Yet she remained so considerate and understanding of everything.

Xiao Fan's heart skipped a beat.

Of course, his heart had long been shattered into countless pieces, and this was just one of them. Perhaps, this was the reason for his broad-mindedness.

Xiao Fan cleared his mind and prepared to treat her.

According to the traditional Son of Fortune method, at this point, he should undress and be honest, using his own warm body temperature to warm her.

But Xiao Fan was the antagonist, not a traditional one at that. This approach clearly didn't suit him.

Moreover, this method was difficult to evaluate, even more disgusting than forcing himself on her. It was the worst method!

There was also a danger. If he got too excited, he might lose control.

"Let me see if there's anything that can save her."
