The Heroine and Villainess are Pregnant. What's Going On? - Chapter 40:

Chapter 40: Little Divine Doctor Su Su:

In an instant, everything changed.

The previously serene and beautiful ancient path was now filled with a sense of impending danger. As the overwhelming rain of arrows approached, Luo Xinli slowly lifted her gaze. The next moment, her figure soared into the air, and the sword in her hand was already unsheathed!

The sword was silver-white, both the hilt and the blade. Embedded in the hilt and the blade were countless glass beads, exquisite and luxurious. The slender silver-white blade suddenly sliced through the air!

Swoosh!

The sword Qi traced a beautiful arc in the air, blocking the rain of arrows completely. Countless arrows were shredded by the sword energy in midair, turning into fragments that dissipated and vanished.

The sword… was back in its sheath.

Luo Xinli’s graceful figure gently landed in front of her white horse. The flower petals, stirred by the gust of wind, fluttered down around them. Neither Luo Xinli in her white dress nor her white horse suffered the slightest harm.

After landing, Luo Xinli’s gaze turned forward.

She saw figures swarming out from the flower grove ahead.

In an instant, hundreds of people surrounded her and her white horse, trapping them in the center.

Among this group of mysterious people wielding swords and axes was a person tied up.

It was a young girl, around fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in yellow, with two ponytails and a delicate, small face. She was tightly bound to a wooden post and was pushed forward.

“Big Sister Luo, Big Sister Luo, please save me!” The girl cried out to Luo Xinli as soon as she was brought out.

Luo Xinli’s beautiful eyes focused on her, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Su Su?”

She recognized this girl. Her surname was Su, her name was Su—just Su Su! She was famously known in the martial world as the Divine Doctor, also called the Little Divine Doctor!

Even the Emperor’s old imperial physician, Sun Zhengqi, had to address this young girl as his senior when he saw her! Her medical skills were outstanding, so her status was indeed very high.

How had she fallen into the hands of these people? And who were these people?

“Luo Xinli! We, the Dragon Tiger Gang, don’t want to be your enemies. Just hand over the item, and we’ll release her!” The leader of this group of mysterious people spoke up.

Dragon Tiger Gang? It was probably a minor faction in the martial world, not particularly famous.

“What item?” Luo Xinli asked, staring at them, completely unaware of what they were talking about.

“The Golden Blood Ginseng!” The leader of the Dragon Tiger Gang extended his hand. “She’s already told us—the item is with you! She handed it over to you herself!”

As soon as he said this, Luo Xinli’s gaze shifted to Su Su. When had Su Su ever given her any Golden Blood Ginseng?

“Big Sister Luo, save me!” Su Su kept signaling with her eyes to Luo Xinli.

Of course, she had deceived these people. When the Dragon Tiger Gang suddenly captured her, to protect the Golden Blood Ginseng and her own life, she lied and said that she had already given the Golden Blood Ginseng to Luo Xinli.

By saying this, the Dragon Tiger Gang would bring her to Luo Xinli.

As long as they found Luo Xinli, she would be saved!

After all, among everyone she knew, Luo Xinli was the strongest!

It seemed Luo Xinli had caught the meaning in Su Su’s big eyes. She then calmly said, “Release her, and you can leave.”

Of course, she didn’t have any Golden Blood Ginseng. But since she had encountered Su Su, she was naturally going to save her.

“Luo Xinli, we know you are highly skilled!” The Dragon Tiger Gang leader snorted coldly, then continued, “But you’d better understand that we have leverage to negotiate with you!”

As he spoke, he cast a cold glance at Su Su. The only reason they had brought this girl was to threaten Luo Xinli!

Luo Xinli looked at the members of the Dragon Tiger Gang and then simply said, “You don’t.”

With that, the sword in her hand was unsheathed once again!

In that instant, it seemed as though the flower petals floating in the air froze in place.

Swish!

The next moment, her sword had already slashed out!

This slash brought the shower of flower petals with it, sending them shooting out toward all the members of the Dragon Tiger Gang surrounding her!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

The next moment, it seemed like the entire world was engulfed in a sea of flowers. This sword strike was both beautiful and grand!

The flower petals fluttered down, and the sword Qi pierced through the air!

Amid the shower of flower petals, only the sound of miserable cries could be heard…

No one knew how much time had passed before the storm of sword energy and flower petals finally subsided.

At this moment, almost all the members of the Dragon Tiger Gang who had been standing just moments ago were now lying on the ground, crying out in pain. Their bodies and faces were covered in small, bloody wounds!

Luo Xinli hadn’t killed them, but this one sword strike was enough to make them suffer.

And now, Su Su, who had been tied to the wooden pole, was already beside Luo Xinli, her ropes completely cut off!

“Aren’t you leaving?” Luo Xinli coolly uttered three words.

Immediately, all the members of the Dragon Tiger Gang scrambled to their feet and fled in a panic. They were, after all, just a minor faction with mediocre martial skills. They had no idea what it meant to face a true master! But from this day on, they would understand!

In a flash, only Luo Xinli, Su Su, and the white horse remained.

“What’s going on? What’s this Golden Blood Ginseng they want?” Luo Xinli asked, her beautiful eyes fixed on Su Su.

“It’s…” Su Su began to speak.

But at that moment, Luo Xinli suddenly grabbed Su Su’s hand and pulled her behind her. Then, with a wary look, she gazed ahead!

In front of them, a group of soldiers was escorting a luxurious carriage as it slowly approached.

Could they be… the royal family?
