Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 273

Chapter 273: To Protect You, I Need To Be So Strong That No One Dares To Touch You
Sensing the change in Xuan Ruiquan’s mood, Duan Yixin asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Xuan Ruiquan came back to his senses and said, “Since you want to find You Xiaocheng, let’s set off for the imperial capital city. When do you want to leave?”

Duan Yixin thought for a while and replied, “Before we leave, I want to find a cure for the plague. Judging from the results of my experiment this morning, something is causing the plague to evolve infinitely. We must solve the plague as soon as possible. Otherwise, this plague could turn into a pandemic.”

Hearing this, Xuan Ruiquan suddenly remembered the poison Jian Qi had given him. He took out the small packet of poison and said, “I received a report that Li Junwang poisoned the porridge distributed to the refugees. This is the sample of the poison.”

Hearing his words, Duan Yixin’s eyes lit up. She took the package and opened it. Xuan Ruiquan saw her want to taste the poison and quickly stopped her.

He frowned and asked, “What are you doing?”

Duan Yixin paused and said, “Check the poison.”

Xuan Ruiquan rubbed his brows and said helplessly, “We don’t have the antidote. You shouldn’t use your own body to test the poison.”

When Duan Yixin wanted to say that nothing would happen to her, Xuan Ruiquan added, “If you want to test the poison, let me do it.”

Unable to let him take the risk, Duan Yixin put away the poison and said, “No. I can’t let you take the risk.”

After saying that, she stood up and said, “Let’s go back to the inn. I may be able to find the antidote now with this poison.”

Unable to be at ease after giving her the poison, Xuan Ruiquan decided to keep an eye on her while she researched a cure for the plague. He stood up and hugged Duan Yixin’s waist.

Looking at her widened eyes, he smiled gently, “Hold on tight.”

Before Duan Yixin could react, Xuan Ruiquan activated his lightness skill and returned to the inn. Less than ten minutes later, they landed in the backyard of the inn. Seeing Duan Yixin’s slightly pale face, Xuan Ruiquan hugged her horizontally.

“What are you doing? Put me down.” Duan Yixin said with a red face.

Xuan Ruiquan looked at her and replied, “You look dizzy. I will carry you upstairs.”

Seeing everyone staring at them, Duan Yixin had no choice but to bury her face on his chest and whispered, “Hurry up.”

Looking at her embarrassed face, Xuan Ruiquan chuckled and walked calmly to the second floor under the curious eyes of the servants and other guests.

When he arrived at the door, Xuan Ruiquan asked, “Xin’er, can you help me knock on the door?”

Duan Yixin said helplessly, “Just let me down.”

Although she said that, Duan Yixin still knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened, and Chi Xinru stared at the two of them in surprise.

After a few seconds, she grinned and said meaningfully, “I’m going to find my elder brother. You two can continue.”

Without giving Duan Yixin time to explain, Chi Xinru hurriedly went to find her elder brother to share the gossip. Seeing her leave like a gush of wind, Xuan Ruiquan walked into the room calmly. He gently placed Duan Yixin on the wooden stool and went to close the door.

When he turned around, Xuan Ruiquan saw that the table was filled with strange equipment. Curious, he walked up to her and sat next to her.

“What are these? Where did you get them?” Xuan Ruiquan asked curiously.

Duan Yixin said while preparing the equipment, “These are equipment for experiments and research. I brought them from my original world.”

Duan Yixin saw that he was calm and said, “You don’t look surprised.”

Xuan Ruiquan smiled slightly and said, “I told you, I was reborn. In my previous life, you took care of me when I was injured, and I accidentally saw you conjure medicine out of nowhere. Thanks to your medicine, I survived. You didn’t know I saw you, and I never told you I knew.”

Duan Yixin was a little surprised when she heard this. She lowered her eyes and thought, ‘If Duan Yixin in his previous life could conjure medicine out of thin air, then she should be me and not the original Duan Yixin. But if it were me, how could I marry Tang Zizheng and let Liang Jiaying bully me?’

Seeing her deep in thought, Xuan Ruiquan said, “When you found me in the mountains and brought me back, you were already married to Tang Zizheng. At that time, I was hunted by the Xiong Nu and betrayed by the imperial court ministers. I lost almost all my soldiers, and I was forced to abandon the border and become a fugitive.”

“If it weren’t for you, I would have died a long time ago. Xin’er, even my feelings started because you saved me, but I do and still love you. I don’t just want to repay you for saving my life, but also spend my life with you as husband and wife.”

“I once dreamed of living an ordinary life with you, having children of our own, away from the imperial court and their conflicts. However, after losing you, I realized that to protect you, I need to be so strong that no one dares to touch you.”

Looking at his sincere eyes, Duan Yixin fell into silence and thought, ‘It seems that I need to understand his past life in order to find out the truth. Maybe I would know the reason why I came to this world and the reason why that mysterious man showed me the future and told me to change it.’

Duan Yixin was silent for a long time, then smiled and said, “Let’s find a way to solve the plague first, and then you can slowly tell me about our past.”

Looking at her smiling face, Xuan Ruiquan’s heart calmed down. He nodded and said, “Let me help you.”

“All right.”

While the two were busy looking for the cure, Zhan Wenmin and the soldiers arrived at Hua Shan Town.
