Godly Empress Doctor Chapter 1296 - Luckily, It Was Her

Chapter 1296: Luckily, It Was Her

“Get out of my sight, both of you.”

Crossing his hands behind his back, Jun Linyuan left the study while Feng Xun and Xuan Yi looked at each other in bewilderment.

They exchanged looks of amazement.

“Boss Jun didn’t beat me up this time.”

“Do you want to get beaten up?”

“I don’t, but the last time I asked him that question, he reacted much more violently. I think he’s handling it much better now. I’ll ask him again next time!”

Despite Boss Jun’s pride, Feng Xun had much more confidence in the couple now.

Feng Wu had no idea what was going on in the crown prince’s residence. Right now, she and Chaoge were headed for the highest peak that was known as “Grand.”

The horses could only take them as far as the foot of the mountain, and from there they had to walk the rest of the way.

Grand was indeed as majestic as the name suggested; even when they threw their heads back, they couldn’t see the peak.

The climb up the mountain was strenuous and dangerous, but that didn’t stop Feng Wu and Chaoge.

They started early in the morning and reached the top at noon.

Once they were there, they saw a valley on the other side, which was Three Trees.

“Wait —”

Feng Wu stopped Chaoge, who was about to dash off toward the valley.

Chaoge was confused.

Feng Wu shook her head. “Not many people know that Master Rong Yang is living in seclusion here, but I’m sure he’s set up some sort of defense system. We have to be careful in the woods here.”

She then gave Chaoge a mask. “This mask can stop you from breathing in miasma as well as neutralize other types of toxins to some extent.”

After making some preparations, they entered the woods.

At first, the ground was mainly covered in bushes, and they could still see the sun. As they went further in, however, the trees grew taller, and the thick canopy blocked out the light.

It became dimmer and dimmer.

“Something feels off. My heart is racing.” Chaoge looked around, feeling alarmed.

Feng Wu pointed out, “It’s too quiet.”

“That’s right!” Realization struck Chaoge. “It’s way too quiet. We should at least hear some birds or animals, but nothing has made any noise. This silence is so creepy. Why is that?”

Studying the plants, Feng Wu narrowed her eyes. “You’ll soon find out.”

“Huh?” Chaoge was confused.

Just then, Feng Wu grabbed Chaoge’s hand and cried out, “Run!”

Instinctively, Chaoge followed Feng Wu’s instruction and took off as soon as she heard her command.

She looked over her shoulder a moment later, only to see some bright green poisonous gas rus.h.i.+ng toward them.

“What’s this —”

“It’s the miasma!”

Feng Wu lowered her voice. “We must outrun this miasma. That’s the only way we can survive to meet Master Rong Yang!

“These woods form a formation. Luckily, I’m still able to see through it, so just follow me.”

Feng Wu led the way and Chaoge followed close behind.

Run, run, run!

Chaoge watched as Feng Wu made her way straight ahead.

There were bushes, streams, giant rocks, and even cliffs in her way, but Feng Wu kept pus.h.i.+ng forward.

Anyone else would have questioned Feng Wu’s judgment and stopped.

Luckily, this was Chaoge.
