It was Nanfeng's sharp eyes that discovered Chu Mu waking up first.
"Your Highness is awake, Your Highness is awake."
When everyone heard this, their eyes turned back to Chu Mu, and everyone was immediately excited.
Ruan Tang was naturally happy, but she still took the Snow Jade Beast with the Gu insect lying on its head back into her arms before looking at Chu Mu.
Chu Mu's eyes were always on Ruan Tang. When he saw that she had woken up, he did not immediately show concern. Instead, he went to hug a big cat that came from nowhere.
Suddenly the eyes looking at her were full of resentment.
After Ruan Tang hugged the snow jade beast, he raised his eyes to look at Chu Mu and was stunned for a moment when he saw his dim eyes.
But thinking that he might have just woken up and his mind wasn't very clear yet, he didn't think much about it.
Instead, he moved closer to him and asked: "Your Highness, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
Ruan Tang's approach and concern made his face look slightly better.
Before he fell into coma after being struck by the sword, he felt as if his internal organs were being chewed away, and the pain reached his bones.
But now all these feelings are gone, except for the spot on the back where the sword stabbed, which still hurts.
"I'm much better. I didn't expect that the red snow grass was so magical that it actually cured my poison."
Ruan Tang smiled and said: "Your poison is not cured by red snow grass, but by this little treasure of mine."
As he spoke, he brought the Snow Jade Beast close to his eyes.
Seeing the little thing that suddenly came to his eyes, Chu Mu's eyebrows suddenly furrowed tightly, and there was a look of disgust on his face.
And the Snow Jade Beast wasn't much better.
Originally nestled in Ruan Tang's arms, it looked well-behaved. As soon as it got closer to Chu Mu, especially when Chu Mu's eyes met, it actually bared its teeth and looked like it was about to bite.
Ruan Tang naturally noticed the changes in the Snow Jade Beast, and quickly hugged it back into his arms, scolding him softly: "Xiao Zhaocai, His Highness Prince Ning is a friend, not an enemy. You can't do this to him."
The Snow Jade Beast hummed twice, with a noncommittal expression on its face.
Chu Mu was not much better.
He has always disliked others, so how could anyone dare to dislike him?
Not to mention a beast?
But Ruan Tang just called it little baby and said it cured his poison. How is this possible?
Ruan Tang saw that the Snow Jade Beast could not be coaxed, and thought that it was a small animal after all. Although it was humane, it could not be as sensible as a human being.
Therefore, she raised her eyes and looked at Chu Mu, "Your Highness, Xiao Zhaocai is ignorant. Don't argue with it. It can also be regarded as your life-saving beast. You have a lot of it."
However, Chu Mu also snorted, and his expression became even colder.
The guards who were preparing to show concern for him all dispersed in recognition of the current situation, leaving space for the two of them.
Qingfeng, who had been lying not far away, sneered and turned around, facing away from them.
Ruan Tang looked at the crowd who had dispersed, and then looked at Chu Mu who looked unhappy. He had no choice but to soften his voice and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Are you really angry with Xiao Zhaocai?"
As a prince who is above one person and below ten thousand people, he is naturally used to everyone's flattery towards him. I'm afraid there are not many people who are as cruel to him as Xiao Zhaocai.
She could understand him being angry.
Chu Mu looked at her and saw that she was still holding the little thing tightly.
"I want to sit up, please help me."
Seeing that he finally spoke, Ruan Tang quickly put the snow jade beast on the ground, and then went to help Chu Mu.
But when the snow jade beast saw her approaching Chu Mu, he started to grin at Chu Mu again with a fierce and cute look on his face.
Ruan Tang was a little helpless and could only coax: "Little Zhaocai, be obedient and don't be cruel."
The Snow Jade Beast put away its fangs reluctantly, but still stared at Chu Mu with an unhappy expression.
Ran Chumu sneered and glanced at the snow jade beast. After Ruan Tang helped him sit up, he hugged Ruan Tang directly to his chest.
Normally, she would forget it, but now, everyone was here, and although no one consciously looked at them, she still felt extremely ashamed.
So Ruan Tang twisted his body and said softly: "Your Highness, don't be like this, everyone is here."
"So what? Who dares to look at me? I dug out his dog's eyes."
However, as soon as he said these words, the snow jade beast roared loudly, and then pounced directly, aiming at Chu Mu's face.
Chu Mu would never let it succeed. It would pounce in front of him, and he waved it aside.
The Snow Jade Beast was thrown to the ground and rolled around before standing up.
The Gu insect was still lying on its head.
When Ruan Tang saw the Snow Jade Beast flying out, he was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
She directly opened Chu Mu's hand in front of her and crawled over to hug the snow jade beast.
"Xiao Zhaocai, are you okay? Are you injured? Did you fall?"
Ruan Tang held it in his arms and checked it around. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no injuries.
But then she seemed to think of something, and she quickly shouted to Ling Qing: "Ling Qing, come here and take a look at Xiao Zhaocai to see if there are any injuries to the internal organs?"
That guy Chu Mu has internal strength. If he used his internal strength in that swing just now, her little fortune would be in disaster.
Ling Qing, who was about to stand at the entrance of the cave with Xiaofeng to avoid suspicion, heard Ruan Tang's call and had no choice but to run to her side again.
As soon as he got close, Ruan Tang stuffed the snow jade beast into his arms.
"Look, you're so good at looking at people, you can definitely look at a little thing."
Ling Qing wanted to say that there was a difference between looking at people and looking at animals, but seeing Ruan Tang's anxious face, he shut up.
He held the Snow Jade Beast and checked it, "It's okay. There's nothing wrong with Xiao Zhaocai. Don't worry, Master."
After hearing Ling Qing's words, Ruan Tang breathed a sigh of relief and took the Snow Jade Beast back into his arms.
Then he turned his head and looked at Chu Mu with an unhappy look on his face.
"Your Highness, I know you don't like Little Fortune, but it saved you anyway. How could you do that to it? It's so small. If it falls too hard and hurts the internal organs, it could be fatal."
Chu Mu didn't expect Ruan Tang to scold him, and his face turned green with anger.
"Ruan Tang, please understand better. It was this little beast who attacked me first. I was just defending myself."
"What little beast? He has a name, Xiao Zhaocai."
"To me, it is just a little beast."
"You... scoundrel, ungrateful!" Ruan Tang was furious, hugging the snow jade beast, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
After walking a few steps, he turned around and called Qingfeng and Lingqing: "Qingfeng, Lingqing, why are you still standing there? Follow me down the mountain."
Ling Qing did not dare to delay and quickly followed her footsteps. Xiaofeng was not far from the entrance of the cave. When he heard that Ruan Tang was going down the mountain, he naturally followed.
Qingfeng sighed softly before slowly getting up from the straw mat on the ground.
Before leaving, he glanced at Chu Mu and said, "You are committing evil!"
