In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 61: Hot Spring Rescue

By now, Shang Qinghua had fallen into a state of near unconsciousness.

His face alternated between blue and white, his body curled up like a shrimp, shaking uncontrollably.

Yue Mingxuan quickly draped Shang Qinghua’s dried coat over him.

It wasn’t enough, he even removed his own coat and placed it over him.

"Prince Shang, you absolutely cannot die!" Yue Mingxuan muttered while rubbing Shang Qinghua’s limbs to keep him warm while silently praying.

Being trapped in the cave like this, even with all his medical skills, it was a case of "a clever woman can’t cook without rice."

Besides, although Shang Qinghua claimed he had come for the herbs, Yue Mingxuan knew he had really come to save him.

Seeing him unconscious, his heart burned with anxiety.

The rain gradually lessened, but the cave, now blocked by the mudslide, had air that felt even more stifling than during the storm.

Yue Mingxuan was frantic, but for the moment, he could think of no effective solution.

As the rain subsided a little and the cave entrance remained firmly blocked, every faint sound inside the cave became incredibly clear.

Suddenly, Yue Mingxuan faintly heard the "rushing" sound of water.

A flicker of hope lit in his heart.

Water meant there must be a way out.

But with Shang Qinghua in his current state, there was no way he could follow him to explore.

Leaving him alone was impossible; without constant massage of his arms, the cold poison would soon attack his heart.

Even someone as clever as Yue Mingxuan felt helpless.

Time passed slowly, each second dragging on and Shang Qinghua’s condition worsened.

The blue poison veins had already traveled halfway along his forearms.

No matter how vigorously Yue Mingxuan massaged him, he could not undo the damage the poison inflicted along the meridians.

Shang Qinghua remained unconscious, his brows tightly furrowed as if enduring unimaginable pain.

In order to relieve him, Yue Mingxuan had already squeezed juice from five Emberveil Herbs and forced it down his throat.

Normally, five herbs were the maximum a person could safely consume in a single day, even under normal cold poison conditions.

Yet, despite taking all five, the poison inside Shang Qinghua remained fierce and unyielding.

Although his heart was anxious, Yue Mingxuan outwardly appeared calm.

Between massages, he even found time to mutter complaints, knowing Shang Qinghua could neither hear nor respond.

Yet, doing so gave him a strange sense of reassurance. "I wonder who you offended to get such a ruthless cold poison. This is stronger than the Five Venoms Fist in those wuxia novels he read in his previous life," he murmured to himself.

Despite muttering, his hands never stopped.

The cold poison was confined to Shang Qinghua’s forearms for now, but it could break through the fragile defense at any moment.

Even standing nearby, Yue Mingxuan could feel the uncontrolled cold radiating from Shang Qinghua’s entire body, chilling him to the bone in minutes.

"This is going to kill him," Yue Mingxuan thought with a sudden pang of panic.

He couldn’t just watch him die in front of him.

After careful consideration, he stood up, tightened Shang Qinghua’s coat around him and carefully moved him closer to the fire, adding more dry branches to strengthen it.

Yue Mingxuan rummaged through the fire to find a suitable branch to use temporarily as a torch.

Wearing only his single layer of clothing, he cautiously moved toward the faint sound of water.

At first, Yue Mingxuan thought it would be just a shallow cave.

But as he followed the sound of the water deeper inside, he discovered a hidden chamber.

It seemed to be a karst cave, likely connected to an underground river.

Recalling the caves he had visited in his previous life, he felt confident that underground water meant there was a way out.

Shang Qinghua’s condition could no longer be delayed.

After walking for a while and navigating a narrow winding path, Yue Mingxuan finally saw an underground hot spring.

"Not the river..." he felt a twinge of disappointment, the way out still had to be found.

Yet, to his relief, this hot spring had several sections that appeared quite warm.

In the natural balance of all things, the steaming water could suppress the cold poison inside Shang Qinghua.

Feeling a huge weight lift from his heart, Yue Mingxuan ran quickly back to their resting spot.

When he arrived, he found the fire nearly extinguished and the blue poison veins on Shang Qinghua’s arms had already reached the elbow.

Yue Mingxuan exerted every ounce of his strength to lift Shang Qinghua.

His body was tall and heavy and it took all of Yue Mingxuan’s effort to slowly move him forward.

"People who are gifted really are lucky," he thought with awe. "He’s strong, his followers are loyal, and even poisoned he won’t die. Trapped in a cave, the poison should have been fatal, but this cave has a natural underground hot spring."

Passing through the narrow winding passage, Yue Mingxuan carefully helped Shang Qinghua reach the hot spring area.

At that moment, he noticed a faint smell of sulfur in the air.

To his surprise, this was a volcanic hot spring.

Yue Mingxuan was astonished, he had never heard that the royal ground back mountain was a volcano.

Although surprised, saving Shang Qinghua was the priority.

Yue Mingxuan found a spot that looked flat and warm enough, helped Shang Qinghua remove his outer clothes and carefully guided him into the water.

The temperature of this hot spring would be considered quite high for a normal person.

The moment Yue Mingxuan stepped in, he felt his skin heat up.

But for Shang Qinghua, this warmth was exactly what he needed most at that moment.

Watching the blue veins on Shang Qinghua’s arms gradually fade and the damaged blue meridians slowly repair themselves, Yue Mingxuan finally felt some relief.

Fatigue began to creep in, so he found a nearby rock close to the hot spring to lie down.
