"But, Master, I can't bear to part with you..." Huo Qi still had red eyes and was shedding tears in front of me.
I didn't know how to comfort this young boy.
I was just struggling with this when the door opened and a dark-faced man walked in.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, I had just helped Huo Qi up. If You had seen Huo Qi crying in my arms, she would have been furious.
With a dark expression, he didn't even look at Huo Qi, but grabbed my arm and tried to take me away.
Huo Qi suddenly blocked You's path, "Stop right there! You are not worthy of your master at all."
You laughed angrily, "Do you think you can do it?"
My goodness, is Huo Qi so grief-stricken that he's lost his mind? Why is he talking nonsense?
Huo Qi did not answer the question, "You are poor and fierce, and you are not gentle with your master either. Every time I see you, you have a dark face."
I lowered my head, thinking to myself, "That's because You must have had a dark expression when she saw you. As for saying You're poor... emmm... this is probably the first time You's been accused of being poor."
Huo Qi continued his accusations, "You are utterly useless. You know nothing but medicine. You make my master live with you in a dilapidated inn all day long. Do you think you are worthy of my master? How can you do this to my master? My master is so beautiful, how can he suffer like this?"
Is that inn really that dilapidated? It looks alright to me, although it's far inferior to the Prince's residence.
You initially wanted to say a few words to Huo Qi, but after hearing Huo Qi's accusations, she gave up the idea. Just as her wife said, Huo Qi was just a child, why should she argue with him?
You glanced at Huo Qi with pity, then pulled me away without saying a word to him.
As soon as I stepped out of the room, I heard Huo Qi smashing things inside.
Could this guy have actually fallen for me? But judging from his comments just now, it doesn't seem like he's just feeling sorry for me.
"Let's go back."
I looked at You's normal expression with some surprise, "Why aren't you angry today?"
Normally, You would get angry for a long time if she saw me with Huo Qi.
You said indifferently, "Just as you said, he's just a child, why should I bother with him?"
I looked at You with relief; she had finally thought it through and understood.
You led me back to the inn and picked up an ancient book that I had never seen before.
"You, what are you looking at?"
"How to use the Soul-Stealing Jade".
"So," I said, resting my chin on my hand, "do you really think the Soul-Snatching Jade can seal Nü Xin's soul?"
"Yes, that's fine."
Nu Xin is no ordinary deity; her abilities would easily rank among the top five in the Three Realms. Of course, the others are You, Liu Lieyu, and Lan Qi.
These individuals possess roughly equal divine power, placing them at the same level. It can be said that, aside from the Four Venerables, these individuals are the most powerful in the Three Realms.
But for some reason, I had a vague feeling that things might not go so smoothly.
I always felt that meeting Yinhua and Liu Lieyu here would not be an accident.
Before the Nanzhao Kingdom's delegation even arrived, another event occurred in Ye City that caused a great deal of discussion.
Recently, many women in the city have fallen ill, but doctors cannot pinpoint the cause of their illness. The patients are all lying in bed, looking pale, thin, and weak.
As soon as I heard it, I knew it must have been Liu Lieyu's doing.
However, Liu Lieyu still knows to spare the lives of those girls. In a hundred years, none of the women who conceived from Liu Lieyu's body will survive; they will all be drained of their life force and die tragically.
"Don't meddle in other people's business." Seeing that I was listening intently, You immediately spoke up to dissuade me.
"good."
Of course I wouldn't be foolish enough to meddle in other people's business, but even though I didn't meddle, trouble still came my way.
That day, I was bored at the inn and decided to go for a stroll outside the city. As I passed by a grove of trees, I heard some kind of harmonious sound. The intermittent moans revealed what was happening.
"Tell me, what's wrong with the Second Prince lately?" The deep male voice was very familiar to me. Although it was somewhat different from later generations, it was undoubtedly the alluring and devilish charm of Liu Lieyu.
I originally just wanted to leave quickly, but when I heard him ask the Second Prince, I became a little curious: were Yin Hua and the others planning to usurp the throne?
I concealed myself and moved a little closer, and then I could hear the voices of a man and a woman coming from inside the tree.
My goodness, this is way too R-rated, it's being broadcast live!
Liu Lieyu's eyes revealed extreme impatience, but he still maintained a gentle demeanor on his face. He leaned down and spoke into the woman's ear, "Yan'er, tell me about the Second Prince."
I've experienced Liu Lieyu's deep voice firsthand. Although I dislike him, his voice is objectively extremely captivating, like a natural enchantress.
The woman named Yan'er spoke up, "I... the Second Prince... the Second Prince... he... has been in a bad mood lately, it seems to be because the master he recently took in is leaving."
My eyes flashed. So they were asking about me and You? Was there some kind of premeditated plan?
"Have you met the Second Prince's master?" Liu Lieyu then asked.
"I've seen her; she's extremely beautiful."
"Extremely beautiful?" Liu Lieyu scoffed, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, but he said it nicely, "Can she be as beautiful as you, Yan'er?"
He really is a scumbag.
"Yan'er definitely can't compare."
After asking a few more questions about me, Liu Lieyu released Yan'er and told him to tidy his clothes and leave quickly so that no one would find out.
"Okay." Yan'er blushed and looked at Liu Lieyu shyly, then watched him leave with reluctance.
Yan'er's steps were unsteady as she left. Although nothing could be seen yet, Liu Lieyu had absorbed most of the vital energy in her body. She was no longer like the other women lying in bed because Liu Lieyu had injected demonic energy into her body. It seemed that Yan'er was still useful to Liu Lieyu and his group.
After I watched Yan'er leave, Liu Lieyu sat cross-legged on the ground and combined the essence he had collected over the past few days.
Liu Lieyu must have done so much; with that much energy, there must have been at least several hundred people.
Liu Lieyu looked at the essence in front of him, kept a small portion and swallowed it back into his mouth, and put the rest into the bottle.
