Chapter 299: Poisoned, life at stake, silk's magical effect, driving away wolves and devouring tigers

Zhao Lei's poisonous residence was filthy and reeked of foul odors, with a chaotic scene in the courtyard. The walls were crawling with poisonous insects and beasts, and in the corners were piles of "earthenware dishes" in which poisonous snakes, scorpions, and maggots fought and devoured each other.

Martial artists cultivate their skills not merely for brute force. Their true aim is to comprehend the universe, nature, and all principles… This is what they seek. Among martial artists, some are cruel, but this does not hinder their ability to comprehend the universe. Their dwellings may be bloody or horrifying… not necessarily peaceful, serene, or elegant, but they do reveal a certain understanding and appreciation of the martial path.

Such a messy dwelling clearly shows that Zhao Lei has no background whatsoever. Although Hao Qingshe is her master and taught her poison skills, he has never taught her seriously.

Several bodies died one after another. Li Xian examined their pulses and, seeing their horrific state, couldn't help but feel pity. Although the man among them was from the "Flower Cage Sect," a wicked and vicious group, he had, through this inhuman torture, truly paid for his evil deeds. The four women, however, were utterly innocent, abducted and subjected to torture without their consent.

Li Xian suddenly paused.

A woman still clung to life, her presence lingering for a long time. Li Xian thought to himself, "She still has the will to live." He felt a deep sense of admiration. Suddenly, a soft "thump" was heard, and the woman's chest heaved, as if she were calling for help from the outside world.

The woman surnamed Huang was the first to be abducted. Although she was deaf and blind, she possessed the cultivation of "essence consumption." Just now, she vaguely sensed that Zhao Lei had been beaten and killed, and felt immense pleasure in it. With her will to die gone, she sought a chance to live.

Li Xian said, “If you had been kidnapped by someone else, you wouldn’t have suffered this calamity. The Flower Cage Sect is despicable and shameless, but they certainly don’t harm or kill women. You have the cultivation of the Essence Eater, and although you are covered in bruises, if you were nourished by a precious treasure, you might be able to fully recover. Unfortunately, I have neither the wealth nor the ability. Since you want to live, I should give you a chance.”

He spoke with a voice that sounded like thunder in his chest, so that the listener could understand his meaning.

The surviving woman surnamed Huang immediately began to beat her chest drum, the sound barely audible and extremely weak, its meaning unclear, yet conveying a complex mix of emotions: gratitude, pleading, and a will to live. Her appearance at this moment was horrifying, so badly tortured that she was barely recognizable as human. Anyone who witnessed this would surely be horrified and turn away. Li Xian felt compassion, and being quite magnanimous and unperturbed, he did not show any disgust because of her appearance.

Seeing that she was alive, he carefully examined her injuries. They were severed, and she was on the verge of death. Her hands and feet were all severed, and she was blind in both eyes and ears, with bloodstains from insect bites all over her body. Li Xian thought to himself, "How can I possibly heal her? But a martial artist who consumes essence has more possibilities. If the body can undergo transformation, even limb regeneration is possible. It just requires superb medical skills and rare treasures."

Li Xian was not skilled in medicine, but he knew some basic methods for treating injuries. After a quick and simple treatment, he exhaled clear air to remove the remaining poison and blood. The woman surnamed Huang felt refreshed, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time. Her condition improved, and she was even less willing to die like this. Li Xian, knowing she wanted to live, and that although her injuries were severe, she might still survive. Since progress was unlikely in the short term, he first wrapped her body in blankets and placed her in a clean spot. He then began searching the poison-laden area.

Most of it was useless stuff. Poisonous insects and beasts were all burned and killed. Not a single piece of gold or silver could be found, and the poisonous scriptures and martial arts manuals were not to be touched.

Only a few medicinal herbs were of some value. Li Xian transplanted them into pots.

They then went to a nearby town and rented a horse-drawn carriage. They placed the looted goods and the woman surnamed Huang in the carriage and returned to Qingniu Residence.

The woman surnamed Huang was breathing weakly. Having survived the initial danger, her injuries had stabilized, and her life was no longer in danger. She was now fast asleep. Li Xian hadn't yet decided what to do with her. After returning her to the house, he placed her in the empty bedchamber. Then he went to find Nangong Liuli.

Upon reaching the west wing, they found no trace of him.

Li Xian frowned, sensing something was wrong; he knew an unexpected incident had occurred. Nangong Liuli was no weakling, and her reputation as "Hua Wucuo" was renowned. How could ordinary disciples, or even elders, dare to provoke her? It must be Hao Qingshe, capricious and unpredictable, plotting something sinister.

Li Xian, both angry and calm, immediately went to Shi Yufei's residence. No one was home, only a few of his wives tending to the flowers and plants.

The ladies-in-waiting had seen Li Xian before, having witnessed his handsome appearance at the grand banquet. Even as they played with the flowers and grass, they couldn't stop thinking about him. Suddenly seeing Li Xian appear, they exclaimed in surprise, "Oh... handsome... handsome young man, what brings you here?"

Li Xian said, "I'm looking for Chief Envoy Shi."

The beautiful woman said, "He hasn't returned. Oh, right!" She continued, "The feast just ended, and the Lord ordered us to return first. Also... your beautiful wife is probably in danger. That female elder seems to be plotting against her!"

Li Xian asked, "Where did he go?"

The beautiful woman said, "I don't know either. It seems she went in the southwest direction? Handsome young man... are you worried about her?" Her beautiful eyes blinked, full of envy.

Li Xian nodded and said, "Although she is my beautiful wife, we are truly friends." He then used the Seven Star Steps to disappear from the vicinity.

The beautiful woman gazed intently for a long time. She even lost her appetite for watering the flowers and tending the plants, her mind restless with agitation. Li Xian headed southwest, his double pupils becoming more apparent, his eyesight suddenly sharpening, taking in the entire mountain landscape. Fortunately, the direction the beautiful woman pointed was correct; he would soon find his way.

Yan Hao, Shi Yufei, Hao Qingshe, Nangong Liuli, Tang Feng, Ye Cheng... are all here. Also present are the earth altar elders "Tang Wenshu," "Li Jiu," and others.

Li Xian landed in the center of the arena and said to Shi Yufei, "Chief Envoy Shi!" Shi Yufei nodded slightly and said, "You've arrived."

Yan Hao and the others all looked over and smiled amicably. Li Xian frowned, seeing Hao Qingshe standing several feet away, pinching Nangong Liuli's pulse point.

Li Xian asked loudly, "Senior Green Serpent, what is the meaning of this? Why did you capture my beautiful concubine?"

Shi Yufei said in a deep voice, "Hao Qingshe, the duel is over, and right and wrong are clear. What do you mean by this? Are you going to break your promise?"

Hao Qingshe, with her seductive face, chuckled, "I will not break my promise. Hua Wucuo won; he killed my disciple, why would I say a word? Besides... do you think I harmed him in the slightest?"

"Isn't this fulfilling the agreement?"

She gently stroked Nangong Liuli's cheek with her slender fingers and said, "But... if one of my disciples dies, I will find another. What's wrong with that? My good disciple... if you are not good, I will turn you into a human vessel. You must behave well, become my disciple, and learn poison skills."

Li Xian said in a deep voice, "This is my beloved wife. You have no right to decide. If you want to take on a disciple, go find someone else."

Shi Yufei said sternly, "Hao Qingshe, you've always acted recklessly. This time, even if it were me, I wouldn't let you have your way. Return this woman immediately, and I can pretend nothing happened! Otherwise..."

Hao Qingshe didn't care at all: "Otherwise what?"

Shi Yufei said solemnly, "Otherwise, I will expel you from the water altar. My little altar can no longer contain such a great Buddha as you."

Hao Qingshe frowned deeply. "Shi Yufei, how dare you! You dare to ostracize the followers! This is disobedience."

Shi Yufei said, "Hmph, now Hua Wucuo is also a member of the Candle Sect. You harmed your fellow sect members first, and I expelled you afterward. What's wrong with that?!" He glanced at Li Xian out of the corner of his eye.

Li Xian took out the candle token. Hao Qingshe's anger subsided, and she said, "Fine, fine, so you want to protect this kid to the death. Well then, I have no choice but to comply since I'm living under someone else's roof. I admit defeat in this matter."

She released Nangong Liuli's pulse. Nangong Liuli's body went limp, cold sweat poured down her back. Having escaped death, she ran towards Li Xian, feeling utterly hopeless about her future. Hao Qingshe suddenly flew into a rage: "I'll leave then! You dare threaten me? I won't be threatened!"

Suddenly, he launched a deadly attack, using his light footwork to swiftly close the distance and raise his palm to strike Nangong Liuli. The palm strike was straightforward and unadorned, yet it concealed many unseen techniques. Even with her considerable lightness skill, Nangong Liuli would find it extremely difficult to dodge.

Shi Yufei was already on guard; his figure flashed, and he had already blocked Nangong Liuli's path, raising his palm to strike. Hao Qingshe suddenly withdrew his strength, turned to the side, and instead of engaging Shi Yufei, continued to attack Nangong Liuli.

She had already shown a weakness at this moment. If it were a life-or-death battle, a palm strike from Shi Yufei at this juncture would have been enough to severely injure her. However, Hao Qingshe was certain that Shi Yufei would not use his full strength, as he was extremely respectful of the sect's rules. Her position within the sect was even higher, so Shi Yufei dared not seriously injure her.

Just as she expected. Although Shi Yufei saw an opening, he held back eighty percent of his strength, entirely to stop her from committing the crime and daring not to seriously injure her. Precisely because of this, Hao Qingshe, despite her injuries, was determined to kill Nangong Liuli. This palm strike came with ferocious force.

Nangong Liuli knew she was in trouble. She used the Nangong family's lightness skill, her figure graceful, barely dodging the attack. Hao Qingshe's palm missed its mark, and the energy from her palm landed on a patch of grass and flowers, causing the grass and flowers to wither and the flowers to rot, quickly spreading for dozens of feet.

The secrets of the palm technique were only just beginning to emerge. If the palm strike were to hit a person's body, there would be no chance of survival.

Seeing her palm strike miss, Hao Qingshe merely sneered and immediately followed up with another. Seeing Shi Yufei nearby, she prioritized speed over power in this strike, aiming for a quicker attack. However, she was extremely skilled in using poison; even the slightest touch was enough to kill. She was confident that one strike would be enough to kill.

Seeing that she couldn't dodge the palm strike, Nangong Liuli felt a pang of sadness, knowing she was doomed. She thought, "This wicked woman is capricious; even with her injuries, she's determined to kill me. It's a pity my cultivation is so shallow, allowing her such arrogance. Today I'll die a miserable death at her hands. And my poor Hualang will be heartbroken for me. I'll die poisoned; I don't know how gruesome it will be. I don't want him to see it. My parents… my clan will never know I'll die such a tragic death…"

Her eyes welled up with tears, her heart aching. Suddenly, someone stepped in front of her, their palms reaching out to strike Hao Qingshe.

It turned out that... Hao Qingshe had launched a sudden attack. Shi Yufei and Li Xian reacted simultaneously. Shi Yufei, with his higher cultivation and greater speed, naturally took the lead in defending himself and blocking Hao Qingshe. However, he was mindful of the sect's rules and had a habit of tolerating Hao Qingshe.

Li Xian was slightly slower, but not far behind, and arrived in an instant. Nangong Liuli was startled. Her cultivation was higher than Li Xian's, and she felt she had no chance of survival facing the poisoned palm; Li Xian's chances were naturally even slimmer. Seeing him take the initiative to block the palm, she was completely taken aback and cried out "No!", but the word "no" had only just left her lips.

Their palms were already pressed together.

Li Xian was sent flying backward, pulling Nangong Liuli away in the process. Taking advantage of this moment, Chief Envoy Shi grabbed Hao Qingshe's shoulders and pressed down on him with his inner energy. Hao Qingshe's feet sank deeply into the mud with a "thud," disappearing into the knees. He could no longer launch an attack.

Shi Yufei's face was grim: "Wu Cuo has never been your enemy, why are you acting so ruthlessly!"

Hao Qingshe glanced at him with satisfaction. She had only intended to kill his beautiful concubine and cause him heartache. Unexpectedly, he had delivered himself right to her doorstep. Seeing that Li Xian was poisoned and surely dead, she decided not to pursue the matter further and instead spread a potent poisonous mist from her hands. Shi Yufei took three steps back, and she used this opportunity to leap off the ground, laughing, "Why should I make an enemy of him if I want to deal with him? Even if he's a member of the Candle Sect, so what? Do I fear a mere ninth-rank official?"

She turned and left.

Shi Yufei suppressed his anger but did not force her to stay. He had been extremely lenient with Hao Qingshe, always treating her with courtesy. Little did he know that this woman was completely ungrateful.

Seeing Li Xian's pale face, he immediately checked his pulse. Nangong Liuli helped Li Xian up, feeling his profuse sweating, anxious and concerned expression, and tears streaming down his beautiful eyes. She gently stroked his cheek, feeling tenderness and care for him.

The thought that his life was hanging by a thread filled me with unspeakable fear.

Shi Yufei looked grim and said, "This is the Yin Demon Heart-Devouring Palm. Hao Qingshe's move is a killing move from the start. Don't be fooled by its seemingly ordinary palm; it actually contains three kinds of melodious celestial music."

"The instant the palm strikes, celestial music enters the body. It has the effect of 'lingering sound around the bones.' At the same time, the palm's energy and poison... all invade the body. They resonate and entangle with the celestial music, making it difficult to expel the poison. Finally, it invades the heart meridian, causing the person to suffer the pain of ten thousand ants gnawing at their heart."

"Fortunately... I restrained her from the side. Hao Qingshe couldn't use her full strength. In order to strike as soon as possible, her palm technique hadn't yet taken shape, so there's still a sliver of hope. Ye Cheng, Yan Hao, if there's no mistake, I'll leave it to you..."

Nangong Liuli said, "Chief Envoy Shi, I think it's best to take care of him myself; I don't trust anyone else to do it." She gently stroked Li Xian's cheek.

Shi Yufei was slightly taken aback, and said, "Alright then. Ye Cheng, Yan Hao... you two go and fetch some medicinal herbs as I command. I will give you the prescription for the girl from the Nangong family. You can brew the medicinal bath and take good care of her. His injuries are quite severe right now, so we cannot be careless."

Li Xian's face was deathly pale. Looking around, although a powerful poison had invaded his body, he did not feel that his life was in danger. His body was of pure Yang, and his five internal organs were fully developed... making him highly resistant to the poison. Although his injuries were severe, they did not damage his fundamental constitution, nor were they life-threatening.

But... he was lying in the arms of a beauty. So he decided to play along, thinking, "When have I ever been cared for like this before?" He pretended to be unconscious and enjoyed being served.

Nangong Liuli carried Li Xian back to Qingniu Residence. Immediately following Shi Yufei's instructions, she prepared a large wooden tub, added clean water to it, placed Li Xian in the tub while he sat cross-legged, and played the "Guardian Body Sound" to expel as much toxin as possible through his Qi circulation and blood manipulation abilities.

Within half an hour, the clear water turned into foul-smelling, murky water. Nangong Liuli immediately poured it away and fetched fresh water. Although Li Xian felt his life was no longer in danger, his injuries were no trivial matter. Therefore, he carefully circulated his blood to try to eliminate the toxins.

Furthermore, by using the "Wind Breath" martial art to inhale pure energy into the body, the poison is neutralized. The combined effect of these two methods is immediately apparent. However, Hao Qing's venomous palm strike is extremely potent, and its venom is cunning and difficult to neutralize. Complete neutralization will require considerable effort.

Nangong Liuli stayed by Li Xian's side without rest. Seeing Li Xian's pale lips, she felt an indescribable pity. At night, she lit a bonfire, making the surroundings warm.

The Yin Demon Heart-Eating Palm technique is most potent at night when the yin energy is eerie and dark. Shi Yufei specifically instructed that a large fire must be lit at night, otherwise Li Xian would not be able to withstand this ordeal. Nangong Liuli piled up firewood, making it extremely hot. She herself was drenched in sweat, but felt no discomfort.

Li Xian suddenly felt the poison stirring within him. His entire body felt icy cold, but by activating the properties of "Heart Fire," he was able to find some relief... His five internal organs were exceptionally strong, and his ability to detoxify was unmatched by ordinary people. Furthermore, both the "Perfect Appearance" and the "Setting Sun Blood Sword" possessed anti-toxic and healing abilities.

The martial arts skills they had acquired in the past were put to good use.

That night, seventy-nine buckets of poison were changed, but the situation had stabilized. The next morning, Ye Cheng and Tang Feng arrived with herbs, several of which were quite expensive.

The two examined Li Xian's injuries and were both astonished. Feeling his pulse, they discovered his blood was flowing freely, and he was gradually recovering. His life was no longer in danger. Nangong Liuli brewed a medicinal soup and fed it to Li Xian. Seeing his injuries gradually improving, she finally smiled.

Li Xian's injuries were extremely severe, making it difficult for him to practice martial arts. He could only laze around for a while, lying on his side on Nangong Liuli's lap, enjoying being fed by the beauty.

Nangong Liuli said softly, "Good brother, are you feeling better?" Li Xian replied, "Sister Liuli, I'm much better." He had originally intended to joke and take advantage of the situation. However, seeing the concern in Nangong Liuli's eyes, he couldn't bear it and told her the truth.

Li Xian said, "This little bit of poison is no match for me."

Nangong Liuli exhaled heavily and said, "That's good, that's good. Good little brother, you scared your sister so much. If you die, your sister will follow you." Her voice was calm, but firm.

Li Xian was taken aback and said, "Sister Liuli, there's no need for that. I'm used to being carefree and unrestrained. Even if I go to the underworld, I'll be happy and at ease. Why should I involve you?"

Nangong Liuli laughed and said, "Silly brother, you're living a carefree life in the underworld, while I'm left here to suffer. Besides, even though you're living a glamorous life outside, you still need someone to serve you."

Nangong Liuli said shyly, "When you recover, I'll do whatever you want me to do for you."

Li Xian smiled and asked, "Really?" Nangong Liuli nodded shyly and said, "Really. I'm actually very happy to serve you, sister."

Li Xian said, "The Flower Cage Sect gave me a lot of books on bedroom arts. Once I'm healed, Sister Liuli... would you teach me?" Nangong Liuli scolded, "You little rascal." She was too embarrassed to talk about this, but how could she refuse? She whispered, "I'll teach you, I'll teach you. You... you've always been the one who taught me these things, how come it's the other way around? I'm so... so embarrassed."

Li Xian said, "Yes... Sister Liuli, I rescued a woman yesterday. Can you help me go see her?"

Nangong Liuli said, "A woman?" She helped Li Xian to his feet and led him to the west wing. Li Xian inhaled the fragrance of her hair, gazing at Nangong Liuli's alluring profile, and suddenly thought:

"I lack everything in my life, but this debt to a beautiful woman is something I'm quite hard to repay."

I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

Pushing open the door, Nangong Liuli gasped in surprise upon seeing the state of the bed. Li Xian explained what had happened, and Nangong Liuli, upon hearing this, felt a surge of indignation, wishing she could stab Zhao Lei several times to vent her hatred. She was also incredibly grateful to have met Li Xian; had she fallen into the hands of someone else, her fate would have been tragic and unspeakable, unlike this tender and joyful encounter.

Nangong Liuli thought to herself, "Wu Cuo is trapped in the flower cage. If we consider his status, he's already a notorious flower thief. But he has a kind heart and isn't pedantic. In this respect, many prestigious sects can hardly compare. Her saving this girl yesterday was no different from saving me in the past. I'm luckier than her because I met Wu Cuo's younger brother earlier." She was deeply moved.

With renewed resolve, he said, "Good brother, how can we help her?"

Li Xian said, "She is in such a pitiful state. I am suffering from a severe poison and cannot take care of her properly. I would like to ask you to take care of her for me."

Nangong Liuli gave a light "humph" and said, "Your words are too formal. Why do you need to say 'please' to me?"

Li Xian said, "Good sister, I'm clumsy with words and said the wrong thing. Please forgive me." Nangong Liuli's heart softened. Seeing Li Xian so seriously injured, yet still trying to take care of her with kind words, she felt guilty for being so petty and said, "It was wrong of me, sister, but please... please don't be so polite with me."

Nangong Liuli sighed, "But lying here like this, she's better off dead than alive."

Li Xian asked, "Sister Liuli, you are very knowledgeable. Do you have any medicine to heal this injury?" Nangong Liuli replied, "She has already attained the level of Essence Consumption, so in theory, she should be able to recover completely. However, to truly recover completely, the cost would be terrifyingly high!"

"It is not something that you or I can bear."

Li Xian said, "Let her recover from her injuries. Perhaps there will be a turning point. As the saying goes, those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune. If she survives this time, perhaps she will be blessed with even greater fortune."

Nangong Liuli nodded. She then went to cook some congee and fed it to Li Xian first. Afterward, she helped the woman surnamed Huang wash her body, cleaning away the pus and blood, and fed her the congee as well.

After another day of care, Li Xian was able to walk and began practicing the "Avoiding Jade True Skill" in the inner courtyard. This martial art is a "health-preserving skill," which does not require large movements but aims to nourish the body gradually and steadily.

It has significant advantages in recuperating from injuries and illnesses.

[The True Skill of Avoiding Jade]

[Proficiency: 6/700 (Beginner)]

Although the lingering poison was deeply entangled, it was difficult to destroy its foundation. To be on the safe side, Li Xian feared that Hao Qingshe might discover he was not dead and launch another sudden attack, which would be even more difficult to guard against. Therefore, he told Nan Liuli that his life was hanging by a thread.

He was meticulous in his thinking. Nangong Liuli greatly admired him and did as he was told. When elders such as Ye Cheng and Tang Feng were looking after him, she made the same announcement. After the news spread, the disciples on the island all expressed their regret.

Shi Yufei was busy preparing for Hao Qingshe's departure from the island and hadn't been able to look after things. Two more days passed, and Li Xian's internal organs were strong, allowing him to expel impurities and recuperate. His injuries were already 70% healed. Nangong Liuli also had the leisure to tend to the flowers and plants.

That day.

Han Zisha brought a feast of grapes and delicacies to pay her respects. Nangong Liuli went to greet her. She disliked the elder quite a bit, but her manners were impeccable and she did not appear rude.

Han Zisha said, "I never expected Hua Wucuo to be such a rare and good man. He actually risked his life to save a beauty. It's truly admirable. What a pity... fate is just so unpredictable."

Seeing Li Xian on the verge of death, she felt both regret and sorrow. Her trip also included plans for the "bee farm" and "orchard." Using her female identity, she tried to get close to Nangong Liuli. Nangong Liuli, the legitimate daughter of a powerful family, was adept at social interaction and easily deflected her advances, finally seeing Han Zisha off the mansion.

She looked at Han Zisha's graceful gait and couldn't help but curl her lips, secretly cursing her as a seductive slut.

Two more days.

Li Xian has recovered 90% of her health. Having just recovered from a serious illness, she feels incredibly energetic and her spirits are even stronger.

"The Five Viscera Expelling Turbidity and Gathering Yang Meridian is truly powerful. If it weren't for the help of this meridian, even with my perfect appearance and pure yang body, I would not have been able to recover quickly!"

I am increasingly impressed by the wonder of this scripture.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Han Zisha had come to visit again, wanting to see Li Xian. She said, "Sister Liuli, I have great news to tell Brother Hua in person. If he is still alive, please take me there quickly."

Nangong Liuli knew that Han Zisha had come again to inquire about Li Xian's injuries. So she led the way to Li Xian's bedroom. Han Zisha pretended to be sad, threw herself by the bedside, and tears fell instantly. She said, "Oh, Brother Hua...you...you are so miserable. It's also my fault for not being there at the time. Otherwise, I would have definitely helped you, and you...you wouldn't have been injured so badly."

Li Xian feigned a trembling voice and said, "Elder Han... my life is hanging by a thread... everyone has their own destiny, there's no need to regret it."

Han Zisha heard his weak voice. Considering how powerful Hao Qingshe was, how could Li Xian be unharmed? She didn't dwell on it further. She said, "It's such a pity you died so young. We humans are born with nothing and die with nothing, so what's the point?"

Li Xian sighed, "Yes, I only realized this truth at the last moment."

Han Zisha said, "Don't be sad. Chief Envoy Shi has already upheld justice for you. This morning, Hao Qingshe was driven off the island. He has already sailed away."

Li Xian's eyes lit up: "Really?" Han Zisha said: "Of course it's true, but... before you leave, have you thought about the bee farm...?" Just as she was about to reveal her true intentions, she was eyeing the bee farm and orchard.

But then Li Xian threw back the covers, got up cheerfully, and stretched. Han Zisha was stunned and stammered, "You...you..."

Li Xian laughed and said, "When people have good news, they feel especially happy. Look... the poison has suddenly disappeared. It seems we don't need to separate the bee farm and the orchard anymore. Hahaha."

Nangong Liuli covered her mouth and chuckled softly. Han Zisha looked resentful, immediately realizing what had happened. Helplessly, she stomped her foot, annoyed that Li Xian had played a trick on her, but thinking that it would indeed be a pity if Li Xian really died like this.

He gave them a few words of criticism and then stormed off in a huff.

Nangong Liuli patted her chest lightly and said, "This matter is finally over." Li Xian said, "Over? Not necessarily."

Nangong Liuli quickly asked, "You still want revenge? Don't be hasty. This woman is very strong. Don't act rashly."

Li Xian smiled meaningfully and said, "If I have the ability in the future, I will naturally take my revenge. But... as the saying goes, evil people need evil people to grind them down. I just hope she doesn't encounter an even more evil person."

A few strands of silkworm silk were missing from the Heaven and Earth Box.
