Night Talk

"Damn it!"

Zhang Yuanqing cursed under his breath. Making a snap decision, he pried open the cardinal's mouth, jabbed the vial deep into his oral cavity, and injected a tube of Life Source Fluid.

He then took out another tube of diluted Life Source Fluid, tossed it to Princess Yinyao, and said urgently:

"You save him. Talk to him. If talking doesn't work, release me from the coffin. At worst, we kill him again!"

With that, he vanished from the bottom deck using the Star Escape Art.

Zhang Yuanqing had to leave. Given his decisive, ruthless nature and the heightened aggression brought on by the contamination, if he saw that the cardinal was still alive and Yinyao had become a Mutant, he would most likely attack immediately.

Princess Yinyao calmly picked up the Life Source Fluid, copied Yuanshi Tianzun by prying open the cardinal's mouth, and injected the diluted Life Source Fluid.

Then she withdrew the Mountain God Scepter and began waiting for the medicine to take effect.

"Crack, crack, crack." Crisp sounds like charcoal splitting came from the cardinal's body.

Before long, the dying cardinal opened his eyes. His pupils were somewhat unfocused. He sat up and looked around blankly. Once he saw the knights locked in battle and the red-eyed, sinister woman beside him, he immediately recalled the details from before his "death."

His pupils contracted sharply as he formed a lightning spear crackling with electric arcs without hesitation.

"If I were you, I'd be wondering why I could come back to life." Princess Yinyao raised her little loudspeaker and stared expressionlessly at the cardinal.

The cardinal froze for a moment, then his reason gradually returned. He did not dismiss the lightning spear in his hand, but neither did he launch an attack at once. "You saved me?"
