A journey through ancient times, a journey of exquisite divine skills

Chapter 319 Burning in Flames, Entangled in the Night

But at this moment, all the strength in her body seemed to have been drained, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand.

She was panting heavily, and after struggling several times, she slowly got up by holding onto a pillar next to her. Her steps were unsteady as she stumbled and staggered into the house.

She first pulled over and closed the wooden door that could still be closed with difficulty, then lifted up the other broken wooden door that had fallen to the ground to block the entrance.

At this moment, she felt inexplicably flustered and just wanted to hide herself and Afu as well as possible.

They were afraid that pursuers would catch up and discover the two of them.

After she finished doing all this, she turned around, staggered to Afu's side, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Zichao, Zichao!"

When Afu heard her shouts in his sleep, his heart tightened, thinking that pursuers were coming.

He struggled to open his eyes and asked with difficulty, "What's wrong? Are there pursuers?"

He asked the question while trying to sit up.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get up.

Even the slightest movement aggravated the wound on his left chest and shoulder, causing him to hiss in pain.

Princess Qiulan shook her head and asked with a hint of doubt, "Zichao, I forgot to tell you earlier."

Your body was burning hot when I helped you escape.

Afu nodded and said, "Yes, that's it. Even though I was unconscious at the time, I could feel my whole body burning up, like there was a fire burning inside me."

Princess Qiulan frowned and asked again with a puzzled look, "Zichao, I also feel a surge of heat within my body."

I just had another attack outside. Do you know what's going on?

I want to ask you, was it caused by the pill you gave me?

Afu denied it without even thinking: "No, we've eaten Bihai Dan several times before, and this has never happened before."

"But when I was riding with you just now, I also felt a surge of heat inside my body, and it made me feel really uncomfortable."

As Princess Qiulan spoke, she pressed her hand against her lower abdomen, as if the burning sensation had not yet subsided.

Upon hearing this, Afu's eyes widened suddenly: "You feel that way too?"

Princess Qiulan seemed to suddenly realize something, her eyes lighting up: "Could it be those white powders?"

Afu hesitated and shook his head: "I don't know...maybe. Ever since I inhaled those powders, I've always felt unwell."

Princess Qiulan asked again, "But I also inhaled it, so why did your whole body become hot so quickly, while mine only had intermittent and recurring symptoms?"

Afu racked his brains but couldn't figure out what caused it.

In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly to indicate that he didn't know.

Princess Qiulan's voice carried a hint of panic: "What do we do now? When I was outside just now, that hot current inside me suddenly flared up, and it was terribly uncomfortable..."

Ah Fu thought about his current immobile body, his tone filled with helplessness.

"But in my half-dead state, I can't get up to investigate, let alone find an antidote for the two of us..."

Before Afu could finish speaking, Princess Qiulan suddenly groaned again, her face instantly turning bright red, and the veins on her forehead throbbing faintly.

The heat surged back without warning, countless times more intense than when she was outside, burning her until her consciousness began to blur.

What she found even more unbearable was the sudden, dense itching all over her body, as if thousands of ants were crawling on her.

It felt like it was seeping from the surface of my skin all the way to the cracks in my bones; my reason was teetering on the brink of collapse under the dual assault of itching and burning.

"Well……"

She scratched herself frantically with both hands, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

Seeing her like this, Afu was so anxious that he tried to sit up.

His limbs felt as heavy as lead, and he could only call out to her again and again in a hoarse voice.

"Princess Qiulan! Princess Qiulan! Princess Qiulan, what's wrong?!"

His shouts sounded like they were coming through a thick layer of cotton.

It was as if no matter how he shouted, his words could not reach Princess Qiulan's ears.

Princess Qiulan was already overwhelmed by the unbearable itching, and only one thought remained in her mind: to take off her clothes.

Perhaps scratching it like this will stop this damn itching.

As Princess Qiulan's fingers trembled as she touched her robe and began to unbutton it.

Afu, lying on the weeds, was stunned by what she was doing and even forgot to call out.

He watched helplessly as she unbuttoned her outer garment, revealing a thin undergarment beneath, her movements revealing a frantic, uncontrolled panic.

Clearly, she had been completely overwhelmed by the strange sensations emanating from her body, losing all reason.

Seeing her acting this way, Afu was so anxious that he wanted to shout at her to come back to her senses.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he aggravated the wound on his chest.

A sharp pain struck, causing him to cough violently.

“Qiu…Qiu…Qiu Lan…Princess…” He coughed as he struggled to utter a few words, his voice broken and fragmented.

He was burning with anxiety, wishing he could get up immediately and stop her.

But his whole body felt so weak that he felt like he had no bones. He couldn't even lift one hand, let alone get up.

He could only lie there and watch helplessly as Princess Qiulan made her movements.

At this moment, Princess Qiulan had taken off all her outer garments, leaving only her close-fitting undergarments, and her exposed skin was flushed with an abnormal redness.

She was still scratching her body incessantly, as if she were enduring immense torment.

At that moment, her gaze fell on Afu, who was lying on the weeds. Her eyes were glazed over, and she rushed over to him without a second thought.

"Well!"

Afu was suddenly tackled, and the wound on his chest was instantly torn open, with blood immediately soaking through his clothes.

The sharp pain in his chest made him gasp and let out a painful "Hiss!"

He tried to push Princess Qiulan away, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move an inch.

Princess Qiulan's mind was completely overwhelmed by the burning sensation within her body.

She felt an indescribable sense of comfort and coolness from the person in front of her.

She moved closer to Afu's cheek and neck, rubbing against him haphazardly, and making unconscious moaning sounds.

Ah Fu was pinned down by her, his chest wound throbbing with pain, but he could only stiffen his body and let her do as she pleased.

He could clearly feel the intense heat emanating from Princess Qiulan.

And those actions stemming from a loss of reason.

He was extremely anxious, yet utterly powerless to do anything about it.

He could only watch helplessly as she lost her composure under the influence of the drug.

(Friendly reminder: Exciting content cannot be played.)

Inside, the fire was still crackling and burning, sparks flying up from time to time and reflecting off the mottled walls.

The firelight cast shadows on the two of them, but offered them no warmth whatsoever.

Time passed slowly, and Ah Fu's last shred of reason dissipated.

The only sounds in the room were the crackling of burning firewood and Princess Qiulan's suppressed breathing, creating a chaotic atmosphere.
