Chapter 340 Luo'er uses poison and angrily smashes the sect leader's jade pendant!
Upon hearing this, Duan Rongshi froze.
"W-what did you say?"
This was the first time in his life that he had completely confessed his love to a woman. What did she mean? Would she reject him?
Duan Rongshi was angry, but he didn't dare to look at him.
He, who had always been very proud of himself, was actually a little afraid at this moment... afraid that this simpleton was truly not yet enlightened and had no sense of self.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so annoyed by her so many times before.
"You...you are unwilling to accept me?"
"well!"
"You dare!"
"Let's see if you can escape from my grasp in this lifetime!"
His embrace tightened and loosened repeatedly in his anger.
He made some harsh remarks, but he didn't dare to look down at her face properly.
If he looked, he would see that her face was actually full of a deliberately teasing smile.
It turns out that this infamous, misunderstood, and prejudiced figure, the legendary King Su, a cruel and tyrannical figure feared by all, was so easily deceived.
But while he was being tricked, Li Qinglu felt an even more distressed feeling than if she herself had been tricked.
"Your Highness, actually, I am a commoner..."
She had just reached out her little hands, wanting to hug him back, when there was a sharp knocking sound at the door.
"Your Highness, Qingyangzi has arrived."
Li Qinglu blinked, clearly eager to go out and take a look.
Duan Rongshi reluctantly let her go.
He took her hand and frowned when he saw that her palm was cut.
He turned his head slightly and replied to Broken Wind: "Let him wait for me for another half an incense stick's time."
Po Feng: "Yes, Your Highness."
After Po Feng left, Duan Rongshi asked Li Qingluo, "Besides your hands, where else on your body are you injured?"
Li Qingluo pointed to them all.
She had wounds on her waist, abdomen, back, and legs. Although none of them were fatal, they were very painful.
The most painful part now is the area on my shoulder that she just scratched open.
She thought for a moment, then pointed it out to him: "And here too."
Duan Rongshi's expression immediately turned ugly.
Did I hurt you again?
Li Qingluo: "The medicine has already been applied, there's nothing serious."
"However, Your Highness, please avoid touching this area for the next couple of days... as it still hurts a bit."
She gave a strong, slight smile.
They were telling the truth.
If she were to accidentally bump into it again, she would be in excruciating pain and would only blame herself for not informing her beforehand.
At this moment, Duan Rongshi felt a turmoil of sorrow in his heart.
He knew she had always been decisive, courageous, and tenacious.
But he also knew that her vulnerability was something that few people knew about.
They are the same kind of people, and neither of them wants to become that most vulnerable version of themselves.
"Very well, I understand."
He agreed.
Before leaving, Li Qingluo had one extremely important thing to do.
She knelt down in front of the two assassins from the Night Slayer Sect, then patted her chest again, finding a few leaves with a strange fragrance and a handful of wrapped purple berries.
Li Qinglu first placed leaves on the cuffs of the two assassins, then crushed the berries and fed them to the two assassins respectively.
Soon, Duan Rongshi clearly saw two huge purple centipedes crawl out of the sleeves of the two assassins.
The two assassins' expressions gradually returned to normal.
Li Qinglu breathed a sigh of relief, quickly wrapped the two plump centipedes in fragrant leaves, stuffed them back into her sleeve, and stood up to back away.
Duan Rongshi asked her, "What is this?"
Li Qingluo: "This is a Rakshasa centipede. It is an extremely poisonous creature."
"It was actually a coincidence. Does Your Highness remember that I received a stack of prescriptions from Zaina before?"
Duan Rongshi naturally remembered.
"You said it contained poison formulas."
Li Qingluo: "Actually, there are also a lot of fantastic witchcraft techniques mixed in. The common people can't understand the complex ones, but the simple ones... for example, this Rakshasa centipede, she recorded it in detail, saying that it is fat all over, purple in color, and is a rare poison in the world."
"As soon as it touches a person's skin, no matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you will instantly feel as if someone is choking you, making it difficult to breathe."
"Without an antidote, he will die from respiratory failure within half an hour."
“Yesterday, on my way down the mountain, I was looking for something to protect myself, and I happened to find this in the forest.”
"Zayna's notes say that around this creature, there is something that has a natural counter to it. A tree with a strange fragrance, whose leaves can quickly put this Rakshasa centipede to sleep. This can be used to capture and tame it."
"Also, there are purple berries around it that can quickly and effectively neutralize its poison."
Therefore, when Li Qingluo saw the fake version of herself suddenly appear, accompanied by two assassins, she knew that she had to test the power of this Rakshasa Centipede.
And it actually worked!
Although she was quite certain of the outcome, she didn't actually want to kill her people.
She spoke frankly about what she had done, and then she was suddenly startled.
I wonder if Prince Su would find her insidious and terrifying?
She glanced at him furtively, only to see a smile playing on Duan Rongshi's lips, his gaze fixed on her.
He certainly didn't find her actions terrifying.
On the contrary, I admire her for finding opportunities in adversity and for using such ingenious methods to defend herself.
She is adaptable and can quickly adjust to any predicament.
Even though her appearance had become ordinary, and even though her voice was abnormally damaged, in Duan Rongshi's eyes at this moment, she was still radiant and full of vitality.
Li Qingluo felt embarrassed under Duan Rongshi's gaze.
She forgot.
He's a man of the most ruthless and vicious methods, so how could he possibly think that his childish tricks are anything to be afraid of?
In that case, the two of them are actually a good match...
Her face quietly turned crimson again.
When the two assassins regained consciousness and saw their 'master' lying on the ground, they immediately drew their swords and pointed them at Li Qingluo.
Duan Rongshi crossed his arms and swayed forward, saying, "I am here! You dare to touch her in the slightest and see what happens!"
Li Qingluo is the master of the Night Slayer Sect.
However, the Night Slayer Sect belongs to the Carefree Sect.
Duan Rongshi is now the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Although the Night Slayer Sect only obeys the sect leader's orders, they still have to be somewhat wary of the sect leader.
Just as they hesitated, Li Qingluo took the fake jade pendant from his waist.
She stepped forward, carrying the jade pendant.
"Look at this, what is it?"
"I remember that whoever holds the jade pendant is the master of the Night Slayer Sect, and you all obey his orders, is that right?"
The two assassins exchanged a glance, and surprisingly, they immediately sheathed their swords and knelt down.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
They've recognized her as the new sect leader?
So hasty! And ridiculous.
Li Qingluo instantly felt that the jade pendant in her hand was both a treasure and an extremely useless and stupid thing.
She raised her hand and slammed the jade pendant heavily to the ground with a 'smack'.
In an instant, the scepter symbolizing a murderous force and the sect leader's token were smashed to pieces on the ground.
The two assassins were wearing masks.
But Li Qingluo could see the shock in their eyes.
She clapped her hands and said decisively, "Without this jade pendant, you will all regain your freedom from now on."
Let's go!
Walk?
Does she mean she doesn't want them and wants to let them go?
Does she know who they are?
They were all assassins, killers, monsters born only to kill on orders.
Where can they go in this vast world?
The two even became confused.
Without the jade pendant, who will they recognize as their master in the future?
Seeing that they didn't move, Li Qingluo asked in surprise, "Why aren't you leaving?"
Assassin: "I...we grew up in the Free and Unfettered Sect, and we survived to become assassins."
"Our mission is to obey the sect leader's orders only. Whatever the sect leader tells us to do, we will do it."
"This is the meaning of our lives."
"But now...without the jade pendant, we don't know..."
Li Qingluo: "Bullshit."
She was very angry.
With his hands on his hips, he pointed at the two men and angrily said, "We were all born human beings."
"Although in this world, people are divided into different classes, some are born as kings and nobles, while others are born as peasants, slaves, commoners, merchants, or gentry."
"But there's one thing we're the same about."
"That is, we are all living, breathing human beings."
Do you know who I am?
The two assassins looked at her angrily, but little did they know!
Li Qingluo's eyes turned cold: "We've been through thick and thin together twice. Jingyun Manor, Jinling government prison."
"It's the two of you, isn't it?"
“I remember you had a mole on your forehead.”
“I remember, you had a patch of hair missing here.”
She pointed at the two men and, amidst their shocked and bewildered gazes, slowly said, "You both handled things very well for me both times. What, I was merely tricked by a villain and lost my appearance and voice, and you two really don't recognize me?"
The two men's pupils gradually dilated as they stared at Li Qingluo.
"You...you are the sect leader?"
Are you real?
Duan Rongshi nodded coldly from the side: "I can testify."
"She is your true master, the real Miss Li."
The two were shocked and couldn't believe it.
Then they looked at the woman on the ground, who clearly had the face of the mistress. Did they mean that the woman on the ground was fake?
The one before me with a plain and ordinary face is the real one.
Is there really such an amazing and unbelievable face-changing technique in the world?
"this……"
Li Qingluo: "You may not believe me. But I am indeed the real Li Qingluo."
“I was left to wander in the mountains since I was a child. I once thought that I would be married off to the worst man in the world and live a life without any hope of the future. That was my fate.”
"But later, my fate changed."
"When I arrived in Jinling, I walked a long and arduous road and suffered a lot. I even almost lost my life several times."
"But I no longer accept my fate; I want to live my own life."
"Why can't you?"
Li Qingluo: "Now that I've smashed the jade pendant, I've thrown away the shackles binding you. Would you be a fool not to leave?"
"I'm setting you free. You can go now. Anyway, you only recognize the jade pendant, not me, Li Qingluo."
The two assassins were completely panicked.
Walk?
Then they will be complete wandering ghosts from now on, not even knowing how to live, let alone how to live.
Of course, they also want to be human beings with flesh and blood, but they don't know how to do it yet.
The two were momentarily bewildered and at a loss, and could only kowtow heavily: "Sect Master! Please, please make another jade pendant!"
Li Qinglu shook her head helplessly: "I will not make jade pendants again, don't you understand?"
