During the day, Bai Ziche told Bai Ziyu the reason why Qiqing had come out of the tent with him that morning. Just like now, the purple-clothed girl's eyes were hazy, devoid of any life, and her face was pale and bloodless.
He walked in like a walking corpse, then stood there motionless, not even a breath could be felt. With his eyes unfocused, Bai Ziche said softly, "See? That's what happened last night."
Bai Ziyu looked at Qiqing in surprise and asked Bai Ziche, "She, what happened to her?"
Bai Ziche shook his head; he didn't understand either.
Bai Ziyu reached out to grab Qiqing's arm, "Qiqing, you..."
Before he finished speaking, the faint mist in Qiqing's purple eyes began to deepen, and it was even impossible to see the original eye color. The aura around him also became extremely dangerous.
Bai Ziyu's hand froze there, not knowing what to do next. At this moment, Bai Ziche pulled Bai Ziyu back a step.
Bai Ziyu's hand suddenly loosened, and he looked at Bai Ziche's blank face.
Bai Ziche was a little worried: "Ziyu, are you okay?"
Bai Ziyu, his forehead covered in sweat and pale, regained consciousness, his face filled with astonishment. "Royal brother, just now when I grabbed her hand, I felt a very strong internal force rushing into my body, but I couldn't move. This... this is too weird. Will Qiqing be in trouble?"
Bai Ziche's handsome brows knitted tightly together, "Qi Qing is too complicated. I don't think she herself knows what's going on. She has no awareness at all right now.
When she woke up, she had no idea what had happened. The power in her body was too abnormal. Maybe this was the reason for her amnesia and abnormal behavior."
Bai Ziyu felt uneasy: "So what should we do now?"
Bai Ziche glanced at Bai Ziyu and said to Qiqing, "Qiqing... Qiqing..." Bai Ziche called out twice.
Qiqing began to move, with an expressionless face, and walked to Bai Ziche like a puppet, sitting on Bai Ziche's legs and nestling in his arms.
Miraculously, the white mist that had completely obscured the pupils, obscuring their expression, gradually dissipated from those unblinking eyes. However, the barely perceptible presence and the deathly still purple pupils revealed that his emotions had yet to return to normal.
"Go to sleep... Qiqing... go to sleep..." Bai Ziche's voice as gentle as the wind sounded.
Qiqing obediently closed his eyes slowly and fell into a deep sleep.
After a while, Bai Ziche said, "Last night, she came to my tent just like tonight. At first, I thought she was a girl who didn't dare to sleep alone in the wild, or that she had something to ask me.
Later, seeing her unusual reaction and her... eyes, I realized something was wrong. It was like her soul had been taken away. Only a shell remained.
I tried to wake her up, but she walked over to me... and then... it was like this."
Bai Ziche glanced down at the sleeping girl in his arms and continued, "Just like that, what's even stranger is that her breath is very weak, so weak that it's almost undetectable.
It was even difficult to detect a pulse. If it weren't for her still warm body temperature, I would have suspected that she had...
It was not until dawn that she woke up, but it was as if nothing had happened. "
"Could she have been poisoned by some strange poison?" Bai Ziyu asked, trying hard to digest Bai Ziche's words.
Bai Ziche said, "I don't know, but I've never seen any poison that could cause this, nor have I seen any record of it in any medical book."
Bai Ziyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Royal brother, I don't know what happened to this little girl, but she saved my life after all."
Bai Ziche's gaze was profound, and after a long pause he said, "Perhaps, the Dongyi she mentioned can resolve our doubts. And her memories. After returning to Yunlang, we will send people to search for Dongyi with all our strength."
Bai Ziyu nodded vigorously: "Yeah"
Somewhere in the dense forest
"How is it? Is Bai Ziyu dead?" Hades asked lazily while looking at the two people walking side by side, holding Peach Blossom Wine in one hand and the Wandering Dragon Sword in the other.
The two people who came were Sun Shadow and Moon Shadow. Sun Shadow replied indifferently: "Not dead yet."
The King of Hell paused for a moment while holding the Peach Blossom Wine, then emptied the wine in his glass. "Oh...wasn't he struck by that bitch's Nine Poison Soul-Snatching Nail? What happened? Did he find the Medical Immortal?"
"No, Pavilion Master, the two immortals, the Medical Immortal and the Poison Immortal, have already left Qingyun Mountain and are traveling. Their people found the residence of the two elderly people but came up empty-handed. They didn't see anyone there at all.
As for Bai Ziyu, he was practically on the verge of death, but his horse, Wolf, brought back a young girl from somewhere, who was said to have saved him. Yueying unburdened herself of all the information she had gathered.
"Girl?" Pluto murmured.
"It is indeed a young girl," Yueying replied.
Hades snorted coldly, "Bai Ziche and Bai Ziyu are really lucky. They can survive even with this! How long will it take them to get out of the dense forest?"
Hikage thought for a moment and said, "Before dark."
"Okay, in that case, I will personally send them off."
"Master, do you want to do it yourself? But what about the rules of Pluto Pavilion?" Yueying said puzzledly.
"Hmm?" Pluto was a little confused.
Yueying kindly reminded him, "The Pluto Pavilion stipulates that if an assassination attempt fails, the person cannot accept the offer a second time. We already attempted to assassinate Bai Ziche and Bai Ziyu a few years ago, but were unsuccessful."
Pluto raised his head in distress for a moment, then waved his clothes, leaving behind a red afterimage and a seductive hum: "Fuck the rules..."
Sun Shadow paused and followed. Moon Shadow's eyes sparkled with admiration, and she flirtatiously tossed her hair and imitated him, saying, "Fuck the rules..."
Riying slipped and fell to the ground with a bang.
"Hahaha..." An enchanting yet sincere laugh suddenly arose.
