Chapter 180 You and I

Xiao Changheng pursed his lips tightly and shrank back.

"No..." He looked at her with a complicated expression, "I understand that good medicine tastes bitter."

"But this thing in your hand... it's beyond the scope of bitterness..."

He had some doubts that he would be sent away directly by this bowl of stuff.

Yun Qingqing lowered her head and looked at the bowl of "medicinal food" in her hand, which was dark in color with hints of purple and green, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes.

"When I was a kid, I took the same medicine when I was sick. At that time..."

Her brows furrowed in confusion.

Who was it?

I remember that when she was a child, she refused to take medicine and had a tantrum, and there was always someone who comforted her in a gentle voice...but I can't remember who that person was.

Since I forgot, I guess it’s not an important thing.

She stopped dwelling on it, thought about it, looked him straight in the eyes, and said seriously:

"How about this, you take a sip and I take a sip, so you won't be the only one suffering."

She figured that the man had recovered better than expected, so coaxing him to drink half a bowl should be enough.

Xiao Changheng's eyes widened slightly, and before he had time to think about it, a spoonful of black medicine soup was already brought to his mouth.

His Adam's apple rolled slightly, he looked at her deeply, and finally opened his mouth and drank the medicine.

Yun Qingqing did what she said. Seeing that he drank the medicine obediently, she also scooped a spoonful and drank it.

She couldn't help but frown.

The medicine I took when I was a child didn’t seem to taste this bad.

But her strategy really worked. The two of them took turns drinking, and soon they finished the bowl of medicine.

Yun Qingqing stretched out the hand wearing the ring and clenched her palm.

I opened my palm again and there were two more candies on it.

Xiao Changheng reached out and picked up a candy, looked at her wrinkled little face, and burst out laughing.

"So you also..."

He was halfway through his words when he saw Yun Qingqing's face suddenly change, and she threw a talisman at the top of the tent.

A mournful cry was heard outside the tent.

Xiao Changheng's expression became serious:

"Who is it?"

"Stay right here and don't move!"

Yun Qingqing left the tent and said sternly:

"Get out!"

“Hahahaha…” A sinister laugh suddenly rang out in the valley. “I thought you were some powerful figure, but it turns out you’re just a little girl with wet pussy!”

Yun Qingqing fixed her eyes in one direction. After a moment, a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe walked out from behind the stone forest. His facial features looked decent, but he had a pair of sinister eyes.

"Originally, I came here just for the Regent, but you look delicious, little girl, hahahaha... It's just your bad luck that you have to be with him!"

Xiao Changheng's heart tightened. He climbed to the entrance of the tent and opened the curtain. He saw the Taoist flicking his whisk, and countless black mists emerged from the whisk, turning into countless ghost shadows and rushing towards him.

Suddenly, there was a strong cold wind all around, and the shrill cries of ghosts echoed throughout the valley.

Yun Qingqing's face was solemn. She threw her hands and eight talismans flew to eight directions and stopped in mid-air. She clasped her hands together and the eight talismans immediately emitted golden light.

The ghost shadow that was rushing forward seemed to hit an invisible wall. There was a crackling sound at the point of impact, and a golden light burst out accompanied by a shrill ghost cry.

The first group of ghosts to be hit were wiped out immediately.

"Eight Yang Ghost Exorcist Formation?" The Taoist was surprised, and looked at Yun Qingqing with no more contempt, "May I ask where your master came from, fellow Taoist?"

"Who calls you a fellow Taoist?" Yun Qingqing looked at him coldly. "You are lucky today. Get out of here right now and never show up in front of me again. I can still let you go."

The Taoist paused and said angrily:

"Little girl, don't be shameless. The Eight Yang Exorcist Talisman Formation can only block evil spirits. I think you have done your best to support this formation! Do you really think I can't tell that you are bluffing?"

Xiao Changheng just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the evil ghost could not break through the talisman formation at all, but he frowned again when he heard the conversation between the two.

He looked at Yun Qingqing carefully and found that her hands were trembling slightly as she was making hand gestures.

His heart tightened, and he quickly thought about what to do, but Yun Qingqing's low voice rang in his ears:

"Just stay here and don't get in the way."

Xiao Changheng suddenly clenched his fists.

The Taoist sneered and drew out a long sword, then said calmly:

"I am here only for the regent. Since you still have some skills, I will not make things difficult for you today. Please leave immediately!"

Yun Qingqing said nothing, but her expression became more solemn. She simply sat down cross-legged on the spot, and the pattern of the hand gestures changed.

The Taoist sneered:

"It seems that you are not giving up! Then don't blame me for being rude!"

He raised his hand and threw a talisman forward, muttering:

"Zhen, Li, Kan, Dui, Yi, Zan, Fu, Jiang, Qian, Kun, Gen, Xun, Hu, Fu, Long, Xiang - Break!"

The talisman hit the talisman formation right in front of it, making a sharp "clang" sound.

The talisman formation remained motionless, still steadily blocking and killing the evil spirits.

"What!" the Taoist was surprised.

Blood suddenly flowed from the corner of Yun Qingqing's lips in the center of the formation.

"Qingqing!" Xiao Changheng exclaimed in surprise. He wanted to take a deep breath and go over to protect her, but he found that all his internal strength seemed to have disappeared and he couldn't use even a little bit of it.

The Taoist narrowed his eyes, looked at Yun Qingqing and smiled.

He walked slowly with sword in hand and passed through the talisman formation unhindered.

"Hehehe...you really are a little girl who is ignorant of worldly affairs. You clearly had a chance to escape just now."

"Since you insist on giving me this great gift, I won't be polite!"

There was a hint of evil in his sinister eyes:

"With your outstanding talent, if you can turn it into a ghost pet, it would be simply...tsk tsk tsk!"

The veins on Xiao Changheng's forehead bulged, he held on to the ground firmly and crawled towards Yun Qingqing.

When the Taoist saw him, his smile widened:

"Don't be impatient, Your Highness the Regent. Once I have dealt with her, it will be your turn!"

After saying that, his eyes turned fierce and he raised his sword and stabbed it straight into Yun Qingqing's heart!

Xiao Changheng let out a beast-like growl from his throat, and with his arms he pushed forward to leap over the last ten feet of ground, knocked Yun Qingqing to the ground, and protected her under him.

Yun Qingqing's eyes were filled with shock and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

The eight talismans in the air lost their spiritual support, and their luster suddenly disappeared, and they fell to the ground.

The evil spirits rushed in with a roar, but when the Taoist raised his hand, they dared not cross and just stood there with their fangs and claws bared behind him.

He was not annoyed at the fact that he had just stabbed the air with his sword. Instead, he smiled even more playfully:

"I never thought that the regent king with all the power in the world would be willing to die for a woman!"

"Since you are so anxious to die, I will fulfill your wish first!"

He raised his sword and stabbed it straight into Xiao Changheng's back!

Xiao Changheng hugged Yun Qingqing tightly in his arms and closed his eyes.

The expected stinging pain did not come, but instead there was the sound of metal clanging against each other, followed by something falling to the ground with a bang, and the Taoist's scream as he quickly walked away.

"What! Quick, stop it!"

The shrill cries of ghosts continued to be heard behind me, but none of them came close.

Xiao Changheng propped himself up and turned around. When he saw the scene behind him, his eyes widened in surprise.

I saw the Taoist priest had already hidden several feet away, holding the broken sword in his hand, looking terrified.

A long sword with green light was shuttling through the dark ghost energy, and the evil spirits disappeared in groups wherever it passed.

Seeing that the ghost slaves he had worked so hard to collect and refine were vulnerable to the magic sword and suffered heavy losses, the Taoist's face changed several times.

He looked at the two of them hatefully, turned around and fled without staying any longer.

Those evil ghosts followed the Taoist priest and scattered. The long sword chased and chopped a few more evil ghosts, then changed direction and floated back to Yun Qingqing.

A green light flashed, and the long sword shrank into a green hairpin, which fell to the ground with a "ding" sound, and then disappeared.

Xiao Changheng recognized the hairpin; it was the one she wore on her head every day.

No wonder she is never changed.

Yun Qingqing exhaled slowly and said in a hoarse voice:

"Help me up."

Xiao Changheng came back to his senses, and hurriedly and carefully helped her up, saying worriedly:

"How are you?"

"No problem."

Yun Qingqing picked up the green hairpin and put it back into her hair, then sat cross-legged.

"I need to take a rest for a while. The evil one won't dare to come back. You can go in and rest."

"I..." Xiao Changheng frowned and was about to say that he was not going anywhere when he was interrupted by a scream.

"Qingqing! What's wrong with you? Why is your spiritual power so chaotic?!"
