Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Brother, it’s time to take medicine
He threw Ruan Mingyu on the bed and then pressed on her.
Ruan Mingyu's wound was aching again, and he let out a hissing sound. Song Chenxi lifted his collar and saw that his wound was still bleeding. He couldn't help but ask with a hint of concern: "Does it still hurt?"
Ruan Mingyu nodded and looked at him with tears in her eyes, hoping that he would let her go.
Song Chenxi put his hand on the wound, and after a while, the wound healed.
"..." This left Ruan Mingyu with no excuse to escape. He shrank back, his back against the headboard.
Suddenly, a yellow talisman ignited in front of Ruan Mingyu. Normally, if it wasn't a serious matter, no one would send him a message in this way.
Ruan Mingyu wanted to stand up: "It's a letter from Senior Sister. Let me see what's going on first."
Song Chenxi held him down: "Just look at it like this."
Ruan Mingyu could only check the content of the yellow talisman under his amused gaze.
It turned out that the Silver Moon Island had been opened up, and there were many magical treasures from heaven and earth, and rare herbs and flowers on the island. The whereabouts of the Binglin Flower that he had been asking his senior sister to find out about was also on the Silver Moon Island, so his senior sister sent him a message so quickly.
"Done? Then we should continue with our business."
He pressed on step by step, not giving Ruan Mingyu any chance to breathe.
Ruan Mingyu said weakly, "Brother, please don't force me."
Song Chenxi leaned over, lowered his head and smiled, and said ambiguously: "Oh, forcing someone to do something? Aren't we just in love?"
Ruan Mingyu stammered, "That's because you're sick now. When you recover, you won't have such thoughts anymore."
Song Chenxi: "Then I must be sick. I want to lock you up so you can't go anywhere but stay in front of me."
Ruan Mingyu: "Then we should cure the disease first, instead of thinking about other things..."
Song Chenxi stared down at him, and slowly smiled: "What if I insist?"
Ruan Mingyu became nervous. If he insisted on doing something, he would not have the strength to resist.
Song Chenxi stroked his face with her fingers: "I've already come this far, why are you still avoiding me?"
Ruan Mingyu stared at him blankly, her mind racing with thoughts, her chest feeling tight and uneasy. His overwhelming and straightforward love made Ruan Mingyu unsure what to do.
"I just want you to say one thing," Song Chenxi said seriously, "Do you like it?" Perhaps he felt that this statement was too blunt, so he changed his way of expression, "Or, do you care about me?"
The two of them had been through so much together, how could they possibly say they didn't care? Ruan Mingyu curled his fingers around this question, hesitating and refusing to speak.
Song Chenxi didn't let him go, and kept asking, "Answer me this question."
Ruan Mingyu didn't dare to look at him and uttered an unclear "hmm".
Song Chenxi didn't hear clearly what he said.
He was about to continue asking questions when suddenly, he hunched over and started coughing violently. Song Chenxi covered his mouth, but bright red blood still flowed out from between his fingers.
Ruan Mingyu immediately sat up and frantically fed him medicine. He had only become a fool or gone insane before, so how could it have become so serious now?
Ruan Mingyu looked at the blood flowing from between his fingers and murmured, "How could this be?"
Death from the poison of "false thoughts"—shouldn't that be his ending in the book? How could this plot be placed on Song Chenxi?
Ruan Mingyu was in a state of confusion.
Is this the punishment for not following the plot?
Even if the plot doesn't develop as in the book, the final outcome will still not change. Someone must bear the final consequences?
After a night of tossing and turning, Song Chenxi finally felt better, at least he wasn't vomiting blood. However, he didn't wake up until the morning of the third day. Ruan Mingyu sat by the bed, having barely slept for three days.
Song Chenxi forced himself to open his eyes and saw that Ruan Mingyu was very sleepy and wanted to sleep but didn't dare to. He sat up and let him lean on his shoulder.
Song Chenxi had never smiled so happily before. He whispered in Ruan Mingyu's ear, "I think I know your answer. I'm very happy. It's the answer I wanted."
Ruan Mingyu only heard a whisper in his ear, like a mosquito buzzing: "Who is talking?"
Song Chenxi put his hand on the back of his neck and whispered, "Go to sleep."
Soon, Ruan Mingyu fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, he found himself sleeping in bed. Where was Song Chenxi?
Ruan Mingyu immediately got up and went to find Song Chenxi.
But he was standing outside the door, all alone. Just looking at his back, Ruan Mingyu even felt that he was too lonely.
Over the past few days, Ruan Mingyu had thought about something. If things continued like this, Song Chenxi would definitely not be able to hold out for much longer. If he couldn't refine a pill to curb his "delusions," he might end up dying from the poison. Not only him, but he himself might not be able to escape. He had no time to lose; he had to make a decision as soon as possible.
"Are you awake?" Song Chenxi turned around, his tone surprisingly gentle.
His current appearance made Ruan Mingyu feel a little unfamiliar, as if he had become a different person.
"Senior Brother, you haven't taken your medicine today." He took out a pill and pretended to be normal as he asked Song Chenxi to take it.
Song Chenxi had no guard against the medicine he gave him and swallowed it immediately after taking it.
Song Chenxi frowned. Today's medicine was much more bitter than before.
Ruan Mingyu watched him take the medicine and finally felt relieved. This medicine can make people drowsy for more than ten days, which is enough time for him to do what he wants.
Ruan Mingyu chattered, saying some insignificant things to attract Song Chenxi's attention, as long as he could not focus on the pill he had just swallowed. "Brother, now that you are cured, what do you want to do?"
Song Chenxi didn't answer, but asked him: "What about you?"
Ruan Mingyu said calmly, "I want to go back to the sect and collect the spirit stones I've been given these days."
Song Chenxi: "I'll give you my share too." He then asked, "What about the rest?"
Ruan Mingyu: "Then I'll go back and check on my spiritual farm. I've been away for so long, it should have grown some new crops by now. In a few years, when I have enough herbs, I'll open a clinic. But I can't just shut down a clinic overnight, and I'm not used to staying in one place for too long. It's a real dilemma. As for the rest, I haven't made up my mind yet."
Song Chenxi glanced at him with scrutiny: "You are hiding something from me."
Ruan Mingyu's heart tightened, but he remained calm and said, "Yes, there is something, but it's not a big deal. I'll tell you when you wake up."
Song Chenxi jokingly said, "Are you going to say that you like me? I already know that."
Ruan Mingyu was a little speechless and said nonsense: "I forgot to tell you that I ate all the milk lumps that Ayihan gave me."
Song Chenxi put his hand on his forehead and felt a little dizzy. He realized something was wrong and frowned: "No, that's not what you want to say."
"Senior brother, are you sleepy? If you are, go to sleep." After taking the medicine, Song Chenxi felt sleepy for no reason. He put his hand on Ruan Mingyu's waist. After a while, he slid down and leaned on him, as if he fell asleep.
Ruan Mingyu moved to the bed and covered him with a quilt. Song Chenxi closed his eyes, as if he had just fallen asleep, and his sleep was so peaceful.
Ruan Mingyu said softly, "Senior Brother, I will heal you, just wait for me to come back." He locked the door of his house and went to Silver Moon Island alone.
Song Chenxi's condition is very bad. Ruan Mingyu is afraid that he will not go when he is awake. Moreover, if he falls into a deep sleep, it may suppress the influence of his delusions. Now, he must find Binglinhua as soon as possible to refine pills for him.
In fact, it was not only for him, but also for himself. Although Ruan Mingyu had not had an attack in recent days, he was still affected by the delusions to some extent.
Ruan Mingyu flew on his sword for three days and arrived at Silver Moon Island. As his senior sister had said, the island was no longer encircled by barriers, allowing for free entry and exit.
There were many people at the entrance, but when Ruan Mingyu stepped in, he found that the place was vast and boundless. The further he walked in, the more the crowd dispersed and there were no more people. On the way, he encountered some very rare and precious fairy herbs, but Ruan Mingyu didn't want to pick them. His purpose this time was to get the Binglin Flower.
After walking for a long time according to the map, we finally arrived outside the cave guarded by the legendary ancient monster.
When he arrived at the place, Ruan Mingyu found that he was not the only one coveting this place. Looking at the weapons and some corpses on the ground, he knew how many waves of people had come here.
Ruan Mingyu looked over from afar. Outside the cave entrance, he saw only a large black dog. He presumably thought the thing inside was the so-called Binglin Flower. It was just a large dog, and Ruan Mingyu was initially quite pleased, thinking it wouldn't be a big deal. But then a group of people from behind tried to break in. He saw the creature smack them to pieces with one blow, chewing up the bones and swallowing them.
Ruan Mingyu began to back down, thinking that he might as well just go back. Even if he wanted to save Song Chenxi, he couldn't risk his own life.
Ruan Mingyu gritted his teeth and thought that since he was already here, he had to give it a try.
Because someone broke in just now, the big black dog transformed into its true form, a glutton, and stood guard outside the cave, not even a fly could fly in.
Damn it, what should I do in this situation?
Ruan Mingyu couldn't do it head-on, so he could only use his wits to defeat him.
Ruan Mingyu remained motionless, lying in the grass, thinking about how to get into the cave.
After a while, another group of people arrived. As they walked, they discussed among themselves, "Silver Moon Island has always been mysterious. Why is it open recently?"
"If he doesn't open up, no one in the world will know his name."
"People seeking medicine all flock to the Sword Sect of the Seven Stars Sect. The number of alchemists there can be counted on one hand, and their business is even better than that of Silver Moon Island, which is known as the Medicine Sect."
"This Silver Moon Island is really lonely."
It seemed that the cultivation level of these people was much higher than that of the previous group. After a while, they went up and started fighting with the Taotie.
While they were distracted, Ruan Mingyu quickly dived into the cave. He sprayed himself with flower and grass powder to mask his scent.
The entrance to the cave was incredibly narrow, but once inside, one discovered a whole other world. The cave itself was incredibly spacious, easily enough to house ten courtyards. Such a vast space was dedicated solely to protecting a single, tiny ice flower.
Ruan Mingyu looked over and saw a lake in the cave. The surface of the lake was covered with ice, and on the ice, there was a small flower emitting seven-color light. However, the flower was covered by a thick layer of ice. If he wanted to get it, he had to chisel the ice open.
Ruan Mingyu didn't think twice before rushing forward, sword drawn. While keeping a vigilant eye on the Taotie, who might return at any moment, he diligently chipped away at the thick ice.
He spent half a day trying, but only a small crack appeared on the ice. Ruan Mingyu increased his strength, but he didn't believe that he couldn't break it open.
He had chipped his hands until they were too tired to do so, and finally the ice layer was only the size of his arm. If he chipped any further, the roots and leaves of the ice flower inside would be damaged. Ruan Mingyu held the ice in his arms without thinking, trying to melt it with his body temperature.
He was shivering from the cold, praying in his heart for the Taotie to come back faster and faster. He really didn't know when the Taotie would come back.
However, the thing he least wanted to see finally happened. After dealing with the group of people at the door, the Taotie returned to the cave. When he saw Ruan Mingyu, the uninvited guest, he immediately bared his fangs and rushed towards him.
The Taotie rushed back and bit Ruan Mingyu's leg and threw him aside.
Ruan Mingyu climbed up in pain, covering his bleeding wound, and did not intend to give up.
Running on the ground is always easier than flying in the sky. Ruan Mingyu gritted his teeth and jumped onto the back of Taotie. The monster swayed from side to side, and Ruan Mingyu was so crazy that he almost vomited.
He took out all the pills in his hand and threw them into the mouth of Taotie.
After doing all this, Ruan Mingyu was exhausted and was thrown off by Taotie.
The Binglin Flower was still standing there. The Taotie ignored him and immediately poured lake water on the Binglin Flower. Soon, thick ice formed on the Binglin Flower again. Everything Ruan Mingyu had done just now would be in vain.
The Taotie was busy watering the Binglin flowers and did not deal with Ruan Mingyu immediately, giving him a chance to catch his breath.
After the ice layer was poured, Taotie bared his fangs and wanted to go back to deal with Ruan Mingyu.
Ruan Mingyu's leg was nearly gnawed by the fangs of the Taotie. How could a human's speed compare to that of a demonic beast? He didn't move from where he was. He didn't want to waste time. He was taking a gamble.
Betting on whether the medicine he just threw into Taotie's mouth can work.
Taotie's palm wind has arrived, and he will definitely die if he is hit by this palm.
Ruan Mingyu instinctively closed his eyes. Facing something he was afraid of, he couldn't stop this instinctive reaction.
Fortunately, he won the bet.
The Taotie swayed twice, like a mountain collapsing, and fell to the ground after shaking twice.
Ruan Mingyu's legs were in so much pain that he could no longer walk upright. He crawled over with difficulty and repeated the same process to chisel open the ice, using his body temperature to melt the frost and take out the ice flowers inside.
He was so cold that he had little feeling all over his body, even his wounds were numb and he could not feel any pain. Finally, he took out an intact ice flower. He couldn't help but smile. Now Song Chenxi was saved.
He was about to put the thing in his arms when a pair of snow-white boots suddenly appeared in front of him. Then, in front of him, they pried open his hands and snatched the Binglinhua from him.
Ruan Mingyu immediately reached out and grabbed the man's clothes. He almost begged:
"That's mine, give it back to me."
Shen Yanyuan lifted his chin with his foot, with deep stubbornness in his eyes: “Ruoyue, I didn’t expect to meet you here.
You and I are destined to be together."
Shen Yanyuan squatted in front of him: "Let me guess, are you here to get the medicine for yourself or for him?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"If it's for myself, of course I'll give it to you. But if it's for him, then I might not."
"Give it back to me."
"That's for him." Shen Yanyuan didn't know what he was thinking of, and a twisted smile appeared on his frozen face. "If you want this thing, I can give it to you, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."
"What conditions?"
"I want you to be my Taoist partner."
Ruan Mingyu's pupils suddenly shrank: "You are crazy!"
Chen Yanyuan looked a little crazy: "You were originally mine. He took you away and broke us up. Now I am putting everything back on track. This is our ending."
Ruan Mingyu couldn't stop shaking all over. Now no matter what he said, Ruan Mingyu would agree. Song Chenxi was still waiting for the medicine.
He lowered his eyes: "Okay."
You don't have to keep your word. Why not just wait for him to get the Binglinhua back and then run away?
Shen Yanyuan picked him up and said, "I know you have me in your heart. From now on, I will never treat you unfairly."
Ruan Mingyu felt a chill and thought to himself how unlucky he was to encounter this plague god while picking herbs.
Shen Yanyuan brought him back to the sect, and he lived in the same place where he had lived before. It remained the same as when he left, without any change.
Shen Yanyuan touched his injured leg. He was treating his injury, but he had no intention of curing him completely. Once his leg healed, he might run away.
Ruan Mingyu originally planned to get the medicine and run away, but things turned out far beyond his expectations.
"I have announced to the entire sect that our wedding will be held the day after tomorrow. By then, everyone will know that you and I will become Taoist couples. Ruoyue, are you happy?" Shen Yanyuan said to him.
The day after tomorrow?!
Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?
"Give me back the medicine." Ruan Mingyu stared at him coldly.
Chen Yanyuan: "I will give it to you when you become my Taoist partner."
"This is the marriage certificate," he handed a piece of paper to Ruan Mingyu, "Write your name on it, and you are not allowed to regret it."
Ruan Mingyu has no moral integrity. Even if he gets the certificate, he can still run away, let alone sign it.
He took the paper and wrote the two words "Ruoyue" in a sloppy hand.
Shen Yanyuan was happy and wanted to reach out to hug him, but Ruan Mingyu immediately dodged to the side.
Ruan Mingyu completely ignored his mad look and said, "We don't seem to be that familiar with each other, right?"
