Chapter 364 The Poison Takes Effect! Luo'er is Found by Prince Su!
"girl--"
The sparrow cried out in surprise and rushed over.
Granny Zheng, who had made a nest at the entrance of the cave, was jolted awake.
Seeing that Li Qingluo was vomiting blood, she hurriedly crawled over as well.
"Girl! Girl?"
"Oh my god, what's going on?!"
"girl--"
Li Qinglu raised her hand: "I'm fine..."
But then he coughed up another mouthful of black blood.
The sparrow was almost in tears.
Li Qingluo felt much better after spitting out those two mouthfuls of black blood.
Her heartache gradually subsided.
Granny Zheng quickly added firewood to the fire and used the container she had brought to fetch water for Li Qingluo.
"Young lady, you've been poisoned! Heavenly Bodhisattva, what's going on?"
"You should rinse your mouth quickly... Come on, take it slow."
Li Qingluo endured the discomfort and rinsed her mouth to get rid of the bloody taste. Suddenly, she felt an unusually strong burning sensation on her shoulder.
She took off her clothes and asked Que'er to check what was wrong with her.
Sparrow exclaimed in surprise, "Girl, there's a red butterfly on your shoulder!"
Granny Zheng stepped forward anxiously: "Let this old servant take a look."
The butterfly, red like a ball of fire, fluttered its wings, as if it would fly off her shoulder in the blink of an eye.
"Girl, that pink butterfly has changed color."
Li Qingluo couldn't see it, but she felt a lot of pain where the butterfly was.
It felt like she was being roasted on fire; the pain caused her to instantly break out in a sweat.
What Li Qingluo didn't see was that the butterfly's skin suddenly twitched.
The sparrow was so frightened that its face changed instantly.
Que'er was so stiff that she didn't dare to speak, and could only quickly look at Granny Zheng.
Granny Zheng also stiffened, not daring to turn her head and look up at Li Qingluo, but her eyes showed fear as if she had seen a ghost.
Li Qinglu noticed something was wrong and, after pressing him for answers, learned that there was something else under the butterfly.
Could it be that she too has been poisoned by a Gu curse?
Will she really turn into a monster like the old Duke?
She pulled out a dagger and shoved it into Granny Zheng's hand: "Here, cut it open and let me see."
Startled, Granny Zheng loosened her grip, and the dagger fell to the ground.
"Girl, you mustn't!"
"But, perhaps this old servant and Que'er are just seeing things?"
Li Qingluo was thinking of doing it herself, but then she suddenly got a headache.
She responded and lay down on the rock, clutching her head and rolling around involuntarily.
He didn't even utter a groan, silently enduring the excruciating headache.
But her lips were clearly bitten open, and blood immediately started flowing.
With a heavy heart, Que'er rushed over and hugged Li Qingluo tightly: "Miss, Miss?"
"Young lady, what's wrong with you?"
"Miss, how can I help you?"
"How about we let Doctor Luo take a look at you?"
"Girl, sob sob sob..."
Granny Zheng stamped her foot: "Young lady, even if you despise this old servant and never need this old servant again in this lifetime, this old servant will still save you!"
As she was about to go out to give a signal, Li Qingluo, in great distress, still shouted at her, "Stop!"
"I am indeed poisoned. And this poison... will harm them."
"But it should be harmless to the two of you."
"I can hold on for now... Once I get through tonight... things might get better tomorrow..."
"ah……"
She couldn't help but cry out, but her whole body was trembling.
"Granny Zheng, if you still consider me your daughter, then listen to me and just stay with me..."
"If you step out of this place today and inform Grandmother and the others, I will kill you myself!"
Her words, which were not meant to be a joke, left Granny Zheng feeling both heartbroken and conflicted.
"Young lady...you..."
But she still pulled her foot back and quickly returned to Li Qingluo's side.
"What should we do?!"
Granny Zheng's eyes reddened with worry.
Gradually, Li Qingluo's headache began to spread to her limbs and bones, and it even felt like there were insects gnawing at her in every crevice of her bones.
Just as she was about to go crazy from the pain, she remembered what she had with her.
"Quick, it's in my pocket... I'll get it out..."
With tears streaming down her face, Que'er forced herself not to cry out and quickly reached out with trembling hands to take two small porcelain bottles from the girl's bosom.
"Miss, is this it?"
Li Qingluo quickly opened it.
One of them contained the blood of butterflies.
One of them contained the blood that Kill One gave her.
Although the blood had dried up, the smell of blood could still be detected.
In the past two days, after Li Qingluo began to suspect that the poison she had been given was related to the blood worm, she had already prepared for this step.
The result she wanted to verify was about to be fully revealed...
She first approached the bottle containing the butterfly, and after smelling a faint fragrance, she felt a sense of relaxation throughout her body.
She was extremely surprised.
She could actually smell the scent of butterfly blood?
Logically speaking, since butterflies are female, they should find the smell of blood from other women repulsive.
Could it be true, as she suspected, that the poison she was ingested was made by Zulya using butterfly blood, which is why it was different?
Li Qingluo told Que'er to quickly prick her finger.
The fresh blood that hit my nose actually smelled really bad.
It smelled so bad that it made Li Qingluo want to vomit.
Upon smelling the blood of the one who was killed, it even had a faint fragrance.
Perhaps because the bloodstains had dried, the fragrance wasn't very strong.
Li Qinglu could only smell this fragrance as she tried to regain some clarity.
However, this thing cannot directly solve Li Qingluo's predicament.
She could only endure it.
"When will this ever end?"
Seeing the girl trembling with pain, Zheng Mama and Que'er could only watch helplessly.
After a while, Li Qingluo suddenly stopped responding.
Sparrow quickly stepped forward and reached out to check her breath.
"girl?"
Granny Zheng looked distressed: "She must have fainted from the pain."
The two carefully covered Li Qingluo with a cloak before tacitly wiping away the tears from their eyes and walking out of the cave.
"Granny, are we just going to watch the young lady and do nothing?"
The sparrow couldn't take it anymore.
Seeing the girl suffer from poisoning was several times more unbearable than when he was tortured by Princess Qinyu.
Granny Zheng: "What else can we do? This time, the young lady is clearly determined to get through this on her own."
"But looking at her symptoms... something seems off."
"Furthermore, why would she be afraid to let Doctor Luo and the others examine her?"
Sparrow also had some guesses in her mind.
"Butterfly...butterfly..."
But she didn't dare to say it.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the sparrow looked up and saw an unusually bright light flashing in the dark night sky.
The firelight was the afterglow of the sky reflected on the ground.
Moreover, it seems to be constantly moving.
Que'er was greatly alarmed and looked at Granny Zheng.
Granny Zheng nodded and immediately set off to investigate.
She returned very soon.
With a pale face, he said, "Oh no, someone's coming."
"Looks like quite a few people are coming, carrying torches all the way here."
"Could it be that he came here specifically for the girl?"
With a cold face, Que'er untied the long whip from her waist.
"The young lady said that no one, no matter who they are, is allowed to step into this place today."
"Granny, let's go meet the enemy—"
Before Que'er and Granny Zheng could fly up, they heard Li Qingluo's voice coming from inside.
"Granny, how many people?"
"Did you see clearly? Is it a man or a woman?"
Who is the leader?
Li Qingluo had already propped herself up and stood at the cave entrance.
Sparrow was overjoyed to see that she could stand up.
"Young lady, are you feeling better?"
Li Qinglu shook her head, panting, "Go quickly."
"Granny, go and stall them... Sparrow, you come with me."
Li Qingluo was afraid that those people would actually break into this place.
She was even more afraid that after smelling the scent of a man's blood, she would completely lose control and turn into a monster.
She would rather die in agony than drink human blood.
The three split up and acted separately.
Granny Zheng went to gather information and, incidentally, led the people away.
With Que'er's help, Li Qingluo quickly entered the woods.
"Young lady, please slow down."
In the pitch-black forest, vines, weeds, and thorns covered the ground.
Countless startled animals darted away from beneath his feet.
Li Qingluo could only lean most of her body against Que'er.
But as she walked, her steps became increasingly sluggish.
Finally, her knees buckled and she collapsed to her knees on the ground.
"girl?"
Sparrow turned around crying, "I'll carry you on my back. Quickly—"
Que'er grabbed Li Qingluo's arm and tried to carry her on her back, but her injuries had not fully healed, and Li Qingluo would make her carry her again.
"No need... Help me to the tree, I'll meditate and circulate my energy, quick..."
Following the method taught to her by Nangong Di, Li Qingluo tried her best to circulate her weak internal energy in an attempt to control the mania and pain in her body.
However, as soon as she took a deep breath, she coughed up another mouthful of black blood.
She finally realized that she couldn't use her internal energy at all.
However, at that moment, Li Qingluo and Que'er both heard a scream.
It's Granny Zheng's voice!
Li Qingluo looked at Que'er.
"I've hurt you all again..."
She closed her eyes, bitter and desperate.
Li Qingluo, at worst he will die, why drag innocent lives into this?
Just as she was about to get up and head to the stream, she heard a familiar voice coming from afar through the woods, carried by internal energy.
"Li Qingluo, how dare you deceive me!"
Do you think you can escape to the ends of the earth today?
"Do you dare to come out, face me directly, and explain yourself?"
"Do you think I wouldn't be willing to harm your people?"
"Don't forget, I was originally a brutal, bloodthirsty, and inhuman tyrant."
“If you try to escape again, I will cut off this old man’s legs and head.”
"Did you understand?"
"Come out here!"
The sparrow was so frightened that it trembled all over and almost cried.
"Miss, could it be that Granny Zheng really..."
Despite the excruciating pain in her head, which felt like it was about to explode, Li Qingluo continued walking towards the stream.
"He won't."
"Let's go."
Li Qingluo ignored Duan Rongshi's warning and continued forward, stumbling along the way, listening to the sound of water.
Soon, she reached the stream.
Li Qingluo shushed the sparrow, telling it to be quiet, and then resolutely strode towards the stream.
