Abandoned Princesses
Poison Freezing Point

Prasggs!!

The sound of broken tea cups echoed in the room that night.

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Junwei shouted in panic when Shen Haofeng suddenly fell unconscious.

"Should it be how this is? Your Majesty, I'm afraid there won't be any more time.." Jiang Junwei was in a panic right now. Inevitably, he had to face off against the snakes in Shan Mountain. But coming there alone without anyone is tantamount to suicide, even though only he can know the condition of Shen Haofeng.

Jiang Junwei immediately threw Shen Haofeng's unconscious body onto the bed. He thought so hard, but there was no way he could think. It seemed like he could only wait for his master to wake up.

Qiao Rong ventured to come to Shen Haofeng's house again. It had been two days since the accidental kiss on the forehead.

However, despite still feeling embarrassed, Qiao Rong also could not deny that he slightly missed the young man's face. He also deliberately brought a gift to Shen Haofeng, as an apology for the incident on the boat the day after.

Although they were only two years apart, Qiao Rong always felt that Shen Haofeng was already very mature. He would give a bracelet that he made himself after cultivating yesterday. Just a plain bracelet that he just made, and was certainly taught by Chu Yue.

But strangely, Shen Haofeng who usually early in the morning had prepared his sword and arrow to hunt he did not see anywhere when he saw the house across the lake. Qiao Rong started to panic. He was very afraid that Shen Haofeng would disappear again like yesterday.

Qiao Rong sped up his pace and walked inside Shen Haofeng's house. As he ran, he had no more thought about what kind of gossip would arise if any citizens saw him enter Shen Haofeng's house alone.

Qiao Rong opened the door tightly. However, he was greatly relieved when he saw Shen Haofeng's intact body sitting on the bed quietly.

"Ah.sorry." Qiao Rong was so panicked that he only realized when Shen Haofeng started looking at him in confusion. Qiao Rong immediately closed the door of Shen Haofeng's house back. He began to regret his actions, he was already very disrespectful, and the reason that he was afraid that Shen Haofeng would leave again would definitely be very embarrassing. Qiao Rong immediately ran away and returned to his house with a red face.

Inside the house after Qiao Rong closed the door and left, Shen Haofeng coughed a few times. Jiang Junwei immediately came out of the wardrobe where he was hiding earlier and gave Shen Haofeng a water-filled cup.

"Your Majesty.. Your body.. I'm worried about you.. You've been unconscious for a day." Jiang Junwei's face looked extremely worried. "You've just come to your senses, yet you've sat down and moved so fast just so that the girl doesn't see you. Is Your Majesty—" Jiang Junwei Continues.

"I'm fine." Cut Shen Haofeng. He knows his own body. At most, he would last two months before his body was completely unconscious. He knew he had to speed up his cultivation even more, but already these few days even he was not cultivating due to the presence of Qiao Rong.

Qiao Rong had been visiting all day. Although Shen Haofeng was secretly happy, he was also more worried. With his cultivation level now, he was not confident of winning over that snake in Shan Mountain.

"I'll be cultivating closed-door starting tomorrow." Hearing Shen Haofeng say so, Jiang Junwei immediately nodded in understanding. That meant his master would rely on him to deter anyone who would enter the house.

*****

That night, Shen Haofeng deliberately walked towards Duan Yi, Hu Fei, and Gao Ping who were leisurely walking to Qiao Rong's house.

"Shen Haofeng's! It's rare to see you outside the house at night like this!" Duan Yi smiled widely.

"Yes. Just a walk." Shen Haofeng replied slowly.

Indeed that was the purpose of Shen Haofeng approaching Duan Yi, Hu Fei, and Gao Ping. Knowing their friendly nature, there was no way they would not invite their neighbors to dinner if they met such nights.

Shen Haofeng immediately followed Duan Yi's directions and entered Qiao Rong's house. Inside, Qiao Rong who saw Shen Haofeng arrived felt shocked. He was so ashamed of what happened this morning. Even though the gift of apology for the incident at the lake has not been given.

Qiao Rong felt his face turn hot. Shen Haofeng who saw that Qiao Rong was blushing, directly stuck his palm on Qiao Rong's forehead.

"You.. sick?" Now Qiao Rong's face was exactly like a ripe tomato. Qiao Rong immediately shook his head and turned towards the soup bowl that Chu Yue had already served.

Chu Yue only chuckled at their interaction. He could only feel that soon Su Xiao would not have the face to come out of the Su residence because Qiao Rong would refuse. After all, Chu Yue also knew that they did not love each other, let alone that Su Xiao was very brave to want to cancel their engagement.

Shen Haofeng, Duan Yi, Hu Fei, and Gao Ping, immediately sat down at the dining table and dined together. Shen Haofeng planned to make this dinner as a parting gift that he would give Qiao Rong, before he started his closed cultivation.

Qiao Rong with such a comfortable and familiar atmosphere, immediately forgot about those embarrassing events. He was even busy toasting with Hu Fei, even though he only used tea.

With such a warm and harmonious atmosphere, who would have thought that dinner would feel so fast? In an instant, only they had all finished eating all of Chu Yue's dishes.

After chatting for a while, Qiao Rong finally drove them home to the front of their fence. However, before Shen Haofeng left Qiao Rong's house, he immediately pulled the young man's sleeve and intended to pair the bracelet.

The flustered Shen Haofeng only fell silent while Qiao Rong started to insert the bracelet into his wrist. However, just as Qiao Rong wanted to tie the bracelet, he detected something strange when he accidentally touched Shen Haofeng's pulse.

"Eh..?" Qiao Rong immediately examined Shen Haofeng's pulse, now on purpose. Shen Haofeng who saw that instantly pulled his hand back.

"What are you doing?" Shen Haofeng asked Qiao Rong.

But the question was not answered by Qiao Rong because the look on his face had changed first like he had just seen a ghost. Qiao Rong was pale instantly, like a person who was extremely shocked at accidentally seeing something he should not have seen.

"You.. Poison Freezing Point." Qiao Rong was unable to speak.

Shen Haofeng sculpted instantly. He did not expect Qiao Rong to be able to know about the condition of his body just by holding his pulse once.

"You.." Shen Haofeng was very confused as to what he wanted to answer. He already wanted to say goodbye to closed-door cultivation, but now that Qiao Rong even knew his condition, what should he do?

"Kunlun Fruit. That's why you always go hunting to Mount Shan. Because you want to pluck that fruit from the snake guard. Aren't we?" Qiao Rong's current countenance was hard for Shen Haofeng to read. Disappointed, sad, angry, upset, and I don't know what else.

Qiao Rong pushed Shen Haofeng roughly and directly turned around and ran to his house. Should he have known for a long time, where was there a village hunter who had almost the same cultivation level as him?

Qiao Rong pondered as soon as he reached his room. He feels lied to. But also feel sad. But there is also a feeling of disappointment. What kind of person did Shen Haofeng offend to be able to infuse such a cruel poison on him?

Frozen Point Poison. Also known as the Eternal Sleep Poison, it is a deadly poison. It can stop the work of parts of the brain that affect consciousness gradually. If the affected victim does not immediately find a cure then over time he will lose consciousness by itself. Once, twice, with increasing duration. And finally unconscious forever even though it will keep breathing. This poison is only one cure. Kunlun Fruit. A tree that grows from the dew drops of heaven and falls to Earth, and will bear only two fruits every thousand years. Not to mention, having to fight that tree guardian beast.

Qiao Rong felt that his heart was so tight that he could not breathe.
