Chapter 229 A Young Lady from a Powerful Clan VS A Humble Remnant Slave 31
The next morning.
As soon as Jiang Zhiyi woke up, she saw Jiang Qi sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze. He looked silly and listless, like a wilted plant.
What happened? He's usually so energetic, he rarely looks so dejected.
She thought of the medicine from last night.
Since this medicine was brought by Jiu Zhan, it couldn't possibly be some kind of harmful poison, so... could it be that this medicine has some side effects?
Jiang Zhiyi was inexplicably worried, as she had administered a large dose yesterday.
"Jiang Qi, what are you doing there? Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Zhiyi asked him.
Jiang Qi came over and hugged her, saying in a normal tone, "It's nothing, I just woke up. It's still early, you should sleep a little longer. I'm going out for some fresh air."
He lowered his head and kissed her cheek.
Jiang Zhiyi immediately shrank into the blanket to hide herself and wouldn't let him touch her, saying, "No kissing allowed."
"Sweetie, go to sleep." He smiled and patted her head before pushing the door open and leaving.
Jiang Qi is having a headache. When he woke up this morning, he felt like he had forgotten a lot of things, and his mind was a mess.
He needs to take a good rest.
The medicinal properties of this pill are indeed very strong. If it weren't for his profound spiritual power, he would probably have forgotten it even faster.
Jiang Zhiyi watched Jiang Qi leave, thinking that nothing should have happened and that she had been worrying unnecessarily.
Because she went to bed very late last night, Jiang Zhiyi really hadn't had enough sleep yet, so she lay in bed and slept for another half an hour.
After waking up, she rubbed her eyes and went to the table to pour herself some water. She picked up a teacup as she went.
She didn't notice that this teacup was the same one Jiang Qicai had used last night.
In the past, the maids would come in every morning to change the utensils and tea, but when Jiang Qi left just now, she specifically instructed the maids not to go in and disturb her sleep, so the tea set from yesterday was not changed in time.
Afterwards, Jiang Zhiyi summoned the maids to help her wash and dress, and asked, "Where did Jiang Qi go?"
“The master is in the study,” the maid replied.
...
Jiang Qi did not return until noon.
Jiang Zhiyi couldn't sit still any longer, so she went directly to the study to find him, but the study was empty.
She walked to the corner and pressed a hidden mechanism on the wall, and the door to the secret room slowly opened.
She went straight in.
As expected, Jiang Qi was meditating in the secret room.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Zhiyi noticed that his complexion was a little off.
Jiang Qi didn't speak, but simply shook his head.
He had been trying to use his spiritual power to force the medicine out of his body. However, things didn't go well; his efforts only made the medicine take effect faster.
He could feel that his memories of her were slowly fading, and it was a very unpleasant feeling.
He already regretted it; he shouldn't have taken those things.
If she insists on leaving, he can let her go. As long as she's happy, he doesn't really care what happens to him.
He didn't want to forget her, not even a little bit.
“Your forehead is covered in sweat.” Jiang Zhiyi leaned closer and wiped his sweat with her handkerchief.
"I'm fine." Jiang Qi wanted to get rid of her. "You can go out first, don't worry about me. I need to practice my internal energy for a while, I'll come find you later."
Jiang Zhiyi refused to leave, saying, "What's wrong with you? You look very strange right now."
She directly grasped his hand and felt his pulse.
She quickly frowned and said, "Why is your meridian full of reversed spiritual energy? What were you doing just now?"
Continuing like this could easily lead to demonic possession.
Jiang Qi lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Seeing his reaction, Jiang Zhiyi quickly realized what was going on and asked sharply, "Did you already know everything?"
He must have realized it, which is why he's resorting to such ruthless methods to force a reversal.
Jiang Qi remained silent, her lips tightly pressed together.
Jiang Zhiyi sighed; she was completely helpless against him. "I'll protect you. We'll talk about this later."
The two sat cross-legged, facing each other.
Jiang Zhiyi cast a spell to activate the spiritual power within her body. Unbeknownst to her, the small amount of pill she had mistakenly ingested that morning was taking effect even faster, slowly eroding her memories.
Halfway through her cultivation, she suddenly couldn't remember the technique. She already had a poor grasp of it, and the effects of the elixir only made things worse.
The chaotic spiritual energy immediately surged around the two of them.
Soon, a powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly appeared, instantly stunning them all.
...
The two slept soundly for a full day and night.
Jiang Qi was the first to wake up, and he gently pushed away Jiang Zhiyi, who was lying on top of him.
Where is this? Who is he? Why can't he remember anything?
Not long after, Jiang Zhiyi also woke up, her eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
She looked at the man staring at her, then glanced at her surroundings.
Jiang Zhiyi asked, "Who are you?"
Jiang Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Jiang Zhiyi asked again, "Then who am I?"
Jiang Qi shook his head again and said, "I don't know."
The two of them stared at each other, looking at each other and sizing each other up.
After a long silence, Jiang Qi broke the silence and said, "I can't remember anything right now, and I don't know why we're here."
Jiang Zhiyi paused for a moment, then said, "Me too."
Jiang Qi: "Judging from the surrounding situation, I guess we must have suffered a qi deviation halfway through our cultivation, which is why we've ended up like this..."
“What should we do then?” she asked.
Jiang Qi: "Let's find a way to get out of this dark room first. Once we're out, we might run into someone who knows us and can help us solve our problem."
"Mm." Jiang Zhiyi nodded.
The two then began to wander around the secret room, trying to open the door, but they couldn't find the mechanism to do so.
Jiang Qi rummaged through the wooden shelf for a long time and found a stack of neatly arranged papers.
He flipped through them, saying, "These all seem to be portraits of you. The women in these paintings look exactly like you, only their attire is different."
Jiang Zhiyi leaned closer to take a look.
They then found several portraits of a man and a woman, which depicted the two of them.
In the portrait, their eyes meet, full of affection, and their gestures are intimate and natural, clearly a match made in heaven.
The two remained strangely silent for a while, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
“There are more words on the back of this paper…” Jiang Qi pointed to the large characters written on the back of the paper.
Jiang Qi is a bastard.
Jiang Qi will serve Jiang Zhiyi like a slave for the rest of his life.
[Jiang Qi, you heartless bastard.]
Jiang Zhiyi looked at the words, then at him, "Bastard? Dog? You?"
Jiang Qi: "..."
