Chapter 17 Immortal Lord 017%
.
Qu Yaoyao and Xie Qingxun were sucked into the Longyun Tower. The tower door was closed and they couldn't get out.
The space inside the tower is extremely large, with golden dragons coiled on eight pillars reaching the sky. After the bright light fades, the surroundings become dim, quiet and depressing.
"Thank you, Lord..."
"Thank you, Lord?" Qu Yaoyao watched Xie Qingxun faint in front of her. She felt as if he had something to say before he fainted, and even wanted to touch her neck. Now that he was unconscious, Qu Yaoyao realized that she might have knocked him unconscious. She couldn't help but feel guilty and squatted beside him, watching over him.
Xie Qingxun was seriously injured. His red clothes were bleeding and covered with scratches. There were several small wounds on his right cheek, staining half of his mask red.
You can't just watch someone faint and do nothing. Qu Yaoyao is kind-hearted. Seeing a jade pool in the center of the hall, she walked over to check it out.
The Jade Pool was crystal clear, with a thin layer of mist swirling above, refreshing like spiritual energy. Qu Yaoyao squatted beside the pool, hesitated for a moment, scooped up a handful of water, and took a sip.
Non-toxic.
As a thousand-year-old snow lotus, this body, after initially merging with its origin, became immune to all poisons. The spring water was sweet and clear, seemingly imbued with spiritual energy. Qu Yaoyao scooped up another handful of water and poured it over her injured ankle. The evil spirit dissipated, and the pain from her previously severe injury seemed to ease.
This is a spiritual spring.
Qu Yaoyao was delighted. She took out her handkerchief, wet it in the pool, and returned to Xie Qingxun.
Since this spiritual spring has the function of healing wounds, it is just right for Xie Qingxun. Helping him sit against the dragon pillar, Qu Yaoyao carefully took off Xie Qingxun's mask and wiped his cheeks first.
Xie Qingxun's evil spirit was out of control, and to prevent any cultivators he provoked from seeing his true appearance, he concealed his true features even through the mask he wore. Therefore, Qu Yaoyao didn't see the handsome and stunning face of Qingxi Immortal Venerable, but only saw his fake face from before.
"How could he be injured so badly?" Qu Yaoyao murmured as she brushed her lips from his cheek to his neck while unbuttoning Xie Qingxun's clothes.
Qu Yaoyao's foot injury was caused by an evil spirit, so the wound was filled with evil energy and was extremely difficult to heal. Every scar on Xie Qingxun was emitting strong evil energy. Qu Yaoyao didn't know that the evil energy was overflowing from his body, and thought that he was also injured by the evil spirit.
So, Xie Qingxun was woken up by the pain again.
Snap——
Qu Yaoyao's hand, which was pressing on Xie Qingxun's chest, was grabbed by a large hand, and a hoarse, low voice rang out, "What are you doing?"
Qu Yaoyao looked up, and when she met Xie Qingxun's dark and cold phoenix eyes, she smiled in surprise, "You're awake."
"I'm helping you clean your wound. This spiritual spring is indeed useful."
What Qu Yaoyao called "cleaning wounds" meant pulling the jade belt from his waist and ripping his clothes wide open, practically stripping him halfway. She wasn't lying, though. With her patient and meticulous cleaning, almost all of Xie Qingxun's wounds had cleared of their harmful effects, leaving them clean and refreshed.
He looked clean and refreshed, as if he had been mostly healed by the spiritual spring. However, in fact, the spiritual spring had blocked Xie Qingxun's meridians, frozen his blood, and sealed off his evil spirit.
With his eyelashes trembling, Xie Qingxun felt his strength fading away bit by bit, and he gradually became unable to grab Qu Yaoyao's hand.
His breathing was a little rapid. When he heard the word "Spiritual Spring", he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked behind Qu Yaoyao, "What Spiritual Spring?"
Qu Yaoyao turned sideways so that he could see the jade pool behind him clearly, and pointed, "This is it."
Seeing Xie Qingxun tense, she whispered to him, "Don't worry, this water is fine. I just tasted it. It's not only delicious, but it can also heal our wounds and is very useful in eliminating evil spirits."
Xie Qingxun stared at Yu Chi without blinking, his pale handsome face showed no emotion, his thin lips were pursed and his dark pupils were dark and gloomy.
When Qu Yaoyao was about to continue cleaning his wound, Xie Qingxun turned his head away and uttered two words: "Longquan."
"What?" Qu Yaoyao didn't understand.
Xie Qingxun retracted his gaze, stared at Qu Yaoyao with his dark phoenix eyes, and said again: "This is Longquan."
Dragon Spring is a blessing from the dragon clan, its waters imbued with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. A sip from it would naturally have a profound effect on ordinary people. But Xie Qingxun was different. This Dragon Spring was practically his nemesis, causing him no benefit after consuming it.
"Qu, Yaoyao." Xie Qingxun closed his eyelashes and almost uttered the name through gritted teeth.
His seemingly serious injuries were only flesh wounds; the real damage came from the pagoda's light and the blow from Qu Yaoyao. Now, after Qu Yaoyao cleaned these wounds, the stinging pain was unbearable, not only sealing the restless evil spirit within him but also melting away his cultivation and physical strength.
Really, I want to kill her.
Feeling violent, Xie Qingxun tried to raise his hand, but found that his physical strength had been devoured by the Longquan water, and he was no different from a disabled person.
Qu Yaoyao vaguely sensed that she had gotten herself into trouble, and quietly huddled in a corner, not daring to utter a word. She had personally tasted the spiritual spring to confirm its safety before using it on Xie Qingxun, and she hadn't imagined that this Dragon Spring, imbued with spiritual power, would harm him.
But what she didn't know was that her unintentional kindness actually saved her life.
"I'm sorry." Qu Yaoyao was about to cry with guilt, "I really didn't know that Longquan was harmful to you. I, I saw that you were seriously injured, so I wanted to save you."
It is difficult to enter and exit the Longyun Tower. Now there are only two of them here, so they have to rely on each other for support no matter what.
She sniffed, "So what should we do now?"
Xie Qingxun leaned weakly against the pillar and said coldly, "Wait."
"Waiting for what?"
"Wait until I recover my cultivation."
Regardless of whether Qu Yaoyao did it intentionally or unintentionally, in the past, Xie Qingxun would have slapped her to death. But now, he was completely powerless and without any cultivation, which meant he was at the mercy of Qu Yaoyao. To prevent her from causing trouble again, he had no choice but to calm her down.
"Qu Yaoyao." Xie Qingxun suddenly called her.
Qu Yaoyao hurriedly responded, and when she knelt down beside him, she heard him say coldly, "Put on my clothes."
She took off his clothes and now she was enjoying herself.
Qu Yaoyao reacted and hurried to help him put on his clothes. In her panic, her fingers brushed against Xie Qingxun's skin several times, leaving a soft and warm touch, like a cat's scratch.
Xie Qingxun's eyebrows twitched. He had half-closed his eyes, but he raised them because of Qu Yaoyao's action and stared at her face coldly.
Qu Yaoyao didn't bother to look at him. She was talking nonsense while helping him undress, and she didn't even think about helping him put on his clothes. She helped him straighten his collar with a slightly unfamiliar hand, picked up the jade belt on the ground, and when she put it around him, she pressed directly into his arms, and the top of her hair rubbed his chin.
"This... I'm not very good at tying it." It was easy to untie, but Qu Yaoyao had trouble tying it. She fiddled with the two jade buckles on the jade belt but couldn't fasten them.
Xie Qingxun was upset by her actions. He lowered his eyes to glance at the clothes she had helped him to put in order. The neckline was crooked and half open, and his collarbone was faintly visible.
"Forget it." Xie Qingxun leaned back and gave up.
When he moved like this, his collar opened up, revealing his entire collarbone, the curve of which was clearly beautiful. Qu Yaoyao stared at his collar for a while, then raised her hand to cover his collar and casually tied a knot around his waist with her jade belt, so that it could at least be hung.
"What else can I do for you?" Qu Yaoyao wanted to atone for her sins.
Xie Qingxun didn't want to talk much, but was worried that Qu Yaoyao would continue to cause trouble for him, so he ordered her directly, "Come here and sit next to me."
"Okay." Qu Yaoyao was very obedient at this moment.
The result of being too obedient was that she sat down directly next to Xie Qingxun without any precautions, fitting perfectly with no gaps. Qu Yaoyao almost tilted her head slightly, as if she was leaning on Xie Qingxun's arm.
Xie Qingxun: “…”
.
Since entering Longyun Tower, Qu Yaoyao has never been able to contact Chong'an.
She did not forget Chong'an's words and knew that Xie Qingxun was a bad person, but at the same time she was confused about what bad things this Mr. Xie had done.
From beginning to end, Xie Qingxun never hurt her, and even saved her twice in a row. After she caused trouble and lost his cultivation, he did not scold or despise her, but let her sit beside him and wait for him to recover.
He is so powerful. Once his cultivation recovers, he should be able to take her away from here, right?
Qu Yaoyao asked herself this in her heart. Before going to bed, she secretly took out an attack talisman and held it in her hand, becoming a little wary of Xie Qingxun.
After falling asleep, Qu Yaoyao had a dream. She dreamed that Xie Qingxun's cultivation had recovered and he easily opened the gate of Longyun Tower. Delighted, she followed him out when Xie Qingxun stopped and suddenly said, "You've hurt me so badly. What makes you think I'll take you out?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qu Yaoyao was pushed hard by Xie Qingxun and pushed back into the tower.
"No."
"Don't leave me here!" The dream turned dark and Qu Yaoyao woke up in fright.
The world she woke up in was not much different from the one she had dreamed of. She was still trapped in the Dragon Cloud Tower. Shadowed by the nightmare, Qu Yaoyao anxiously reached out to touch the person next to her. Only when she grasped the corner of Xie Qingxun's clothes did she breathe a sigh of relief. At least Xie Qingxun was still by her side.
But she couldn't let her nightmare come true.
Xie Qingxun's question from the dream lingered in her mind, and coupled with Chong'an's definition of Xie Qingxun as a bad man, Qu Yaoyao became extremely wary of him. Biting her sleeve and thinking for a while, Qu Yaoyao looked at the man beside her. Seeing that he was sound asleep and showed no signs of waking, she quietly stood up and walked to the edge of the jade pool.
She thought, since Longquan is Xie Qingxun's nemesis, then there would be no harm in her carrying some on her body, right?
Qu Yaoyao took out a small bottle from her body, filled it with Longquan tea, put it in her sleeve, and walked back quietly.
As soon as she sat down next to Xie Qingxun, she felt a chill coming from her side. Turning her head, she saw a layer of frost all over Xie Qingxun's body. The frost was getting thicker and thicker, almost turning into ice, spreading all over his body.
What is going on? !
Qu Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, then quickly slapped Xie Qingxun's face, "Wake up."
"Xie Qingxun, wake up!"
Xie Qingxun was unaware of anything, his long eyelashes were frosty white and he didn't move, as if he had lost his soul.
Seeing the ice spreading faster and faster, Qu Yaoyao became anxious. Without thinking, she hugged him tightly and tried to use her weak spiritual power to help him melt the ice.
This method seemed to work. At least when Qu Yaoyao hugged him, the icy cold on his body stopped spreading. After a while, the ice dissipated, and the frost on his face melted into water. Xie Qingxun's long eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"What are you doing again?" Looking at the girl hugging him, Xie Qingxun's tone was calm and even sounded a little weak.
He seemed unaware of what had just happened, and also seemed to be used to it, his expression remaining unchanged.
Qu Yaoyao wasn't as tolerant as he was. She hugged him and used her spiritual power to warm his body, worried that he would freeze again. She whimpered twice, her voice soft and tearful, "You scared me to death just now."
"I thought you, I thought you..." will turn into an ice sculpture and shatter.
Xie Qingxun was silent, and then seemed to be amused by Qu Yaoyao's words. His chest vibrated and he let out a few low laughs, which were very shallow.
The wet skin meant that the frost just now was not an illusion. Xie Qingxun let Qu Yaoyao hold him and looked at the dragon sculpture on the stone pillar opposite quietly for a long time, so long that Qu Yaoyao was tired of holding him and let go of him, sitting beside him and following his gaze.
After looking at the dragon sculpture and then at Xie Qingxun, Qu Yaoyao leaned close to him and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong there?"
The warm breath sprayed on Xie Qingxun's face. He came back to his senses, his long eyelashes trembling twice and said, "It's too dark."
It's too dark in here.
It is cold and quiet without a trace of sunlight, making it a perfect place for imprisonment.
The author has something to say: Yaoyao: I never show mercy when it comes to torturing my husband.
Everyone is so rough!
