Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 619 I am a Rabbit-Eared Clan 37

Kuro's fake smile froze for a moment, her lips twitched slightly, and a hint of annoyance flashed in her dark red pupils.

In verbal exchanges, he rarely gained the upper hand against Yin Yan. Seeing that he was not winning the argument, his sinister gaze shifted and finally landed on the white package that Yin Yan was tightly clutching in his arms.

That unusual posture had already caught his attention.

"Heh..." Blacktail let out a cryptic chuckle, taking a step forward with scrutiny and undisguised malice.

"I almost forgot to ask. Our Captain Silverflame is being so 'hands-on,' holding this precious prey in his arms like it's a treasure... what rare prey is it? Or is it...?"

He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, his eyes filled with even more malice, "What new... plaything did you get?"

Before he finished speaking, his cold, sharp gaze, like an awl, seemed to pierce through the thick white fox fur.

The surrounding air seemed to be sucked out, and all the bears paused for a moment, their breaths caught in their throats. Countless eyes were fixed on the small, motionless white package.

The air around Yin Yan suddenly turned icy cold. His arms, which were holding Yun Chu tightly, tensed for a moment, not out of panic, but out of a chilling killing intent about to erupt.

The golden beast eyes finally condensed into a substantial cold light, like an ice blade about to be drawn from its sheath, firmly locking onto the black tail.

"Insolence!" Yin Yan's voice suddenly lowered, carrying an unparalleled pressure that even made the hard ice and snow beneath his feet seem to tremble slightly. "This is a precious physician that we found for our clan. She caught a cold and is unconscious."

"Anyone who dares to speak disrespectfully or obstruct treatment... is playing with the lives of our people! How should the Tiger Clan's laws be applied?"

"A doctor?" Black Tail scoffed, completely ignoring the imposing threat. Instead of backing away, he took another step forward, his eyes filled with disbelief and twisted excitement.

"A frail female? She's supposed to be a healer for my tribe? Silver Flame, at least come up with a decent excuse! I think..."

He suddenly reached out, his five fingers forming claws, and with a whooshing sound, grabbed straight for the fox fur coat in Yin Yan's arms, his target being Yun Chulu's flushed cheeks exposed outside!

"Let me see if she's really dying?! Or did you use some method to force her into a 'coma'..."

"Black Tail!" Silver Flame roared like thunder! Almost at the same instant, a flash of silver light appeared!

It wasn't a knife being drawn, but a side kick as fast as lightning!

boom!

A powerful kick slammed into Blacktail's raised forearm, forcing him to stagger back several steps. His outstretched claws were also forced to retract, and his arm felt the excruciating pain and bone-chilling cold from the impact of the Xuanbing Heavy Armor.

A palpable, palpable killing intent filled the air between the two!

Yin Yan stood firmly in the air, holding Yun Chu in his arms. His figure was as steady as a mountain, but his golden pupils had turned into a burning furnace, and the raging anger inside seemed capable of burning everything in front of him to ashes.

"Get out of my way! Otherwise, don't blame me for cleaning up the scum of the clan!" His voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, each word carrying a chilling, bloody aura. Shadow Hunter and his group of Silver Flame guards immediately stepped forward, their swords drawn halfway, their cold blades aimed at Black Tail and his entourage.

The situation at the city gate was extremely tense!

At this critical moment, a faint, painful whimper came from inside the fox fur.

Yun Chu, who was running a fever, seemed to be disturbed by the intense argument and murderous aura. She squirmed uncomfortably in Yin Yan's arms, her brows furrowed, and her chapped lips moved unconsciously, emitting a barely audible, soft sob with a heavy crying tone.

This faint sound, in the suffocating silence, was as clear as a pin dropping.

Yin Yan's gaze swept across Heiwei's twisted face and landed on the pained little face of the person in his arms.

The fury in the molten gold beast's eyes froze for a moment, then was suppressed by a deeper and more resolute force.

He didn't look at Heiwei again, but carrying Yun Chu, he walked straight forward, step by step, across the cold ground.

When Yin Yan passed by Hei Wei, he didn't pause for a moment, and didn't even spare him a glance, as if he were just a wisp of polluted air unworthy of his attention.

His steps were steady as a mountain, but each step on the solid ice was as heavy as a war drum, striking the hearts of every onlooker.

Shadow Hunter and the others immediately sheathed their swords and silently and warily surrounded him, like loyal shadows, protecting Silver Flame and Cloud Beginning in the center and blocking Black Tail's fiery gaze.

Heiwei clutched his arm, standing rooted to the spot, his face flushed purple with anger and humiliation. His dark red vertical pupils stared intently at Yinyan's back as he carried Yun Chu deeper into the city, his eyes churning with deep-seated resentment and even more frantic jealousy.

His outstretched claws were still trembling slightly, whether from pain or anger, it was hard to tell. The surrounding tiger guards and slaves of other races who were passing by all lowered their heads, not daring to look at his sinister face.

"A healer?" Blacktail spat out the word through gritted teeth, his tone full of sarcasm and disbelief. Then, a twisted and eerie smile slowly spread across his lips. "Alright... Silver Flame, we'll see. Let's see if this little thing is your shield or your Achilles' heel..."

The deep, malicious voice, like the hiss of a venomous snake, quietly dissipated into the cold twilight and howling wind of Tiger City.

A brief conflict may have subsided, but the seeds of future trouble have now taken deeper root in the undercurrents beneath the surface of Tiger City.

Yun Chu's unconscious murmur foreshadowed an even greater storm, perhaps only just beginning to brew.

Passing through the thorny path woven by the venomous gaze of the Blacktail, Silver Flame, carrying Cloud Beginning, moved swiftly towards his stone fortress residence in the inner city.

The cold, black stone walls isolated the noise and hostility from the outside world, but could not dispel the burning body temperature of the person in his arms.

The guards immediately obeyed the order and went to invite the most renowned disciple of the Great Shaman, the Tiger Clan healer who was skilled in treating external injuries and colds—Jianyan.

Jianyan arrived quickly. He was an older male with gray hair, his movements were steady, and his gaze was calm yet sharp.

Under the silent yet extremely oppressive gaze of Yin Yan's molten golden beast eyes, he carefully examined Yun Chu's condition.

His thick fingers rested gently on Yun Chu's slender wrist and burning forehead for a moment, then examined her tongue and eyelids.

“Captain,” Jianyan’s voice was deep and resonant, carrying the calmness that comes with age, “this rabbit-eared tribe… has been suffering from long-standing coldness, and their inner fire is stagnant.”

"The cold was just the trigger; the root cause was her excessive physical depletion and extreme heart exhaustion, like a long-term burden finally bursting. This fever was her body's cry of agony."

Jianyan took out an old animal hide and quickly wrote down a string of medicine names with a charcoal pencil: "This is 'Cold-Dispelling and Foundation-Strengthening Decoction', which needs to be decocted and taken at the appropriate time."

"It contains snow lotus core and ice soul grass to warm the meridians, and red flame fox bone powder and firethorn fruit to boost the mind and vitality, but the medicinal properties are also strong."

“Her body is like a candle in the wind, the oil in the lamp is about to go out, and a strong fire may not be able to ignite the wick, but may instead burn it out completely, which is extremely risky.”

Jianyan stared directly at Yinyan: "This prescription is overpowering. You need to personally guide the medicinal power with gentle and pure Ice Soul Power to protect her heart meridian and origin."

"If the medication can successfully stimulate her own potential, reducing the fever will not be difficult. However, if she becomes depressed and her body resists absorbing the medication, she may be overwhelmed by the strong drug..."

Jianyan paused slightly, then emphasized, "Her heart is exhausted, beyond medical help, and she needs time to rest."

Yin Yan silently accepted the prescription, a barely perceptible hint of heaviness flashing deep in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "The medicine, get it quickly. I'll get it." Jian Yan nodded, left the prescription, and hurriedly left.
