Chapter 33 Immortal Lord 033%
Di Shu had been waiting on the island for almost an hour.
Ever since Xie Qingxun went into the sea, he felt uneasy for some reason. He walked back and forth on the shore restlessly, ready to wait another quarter of an hour before going into the water to look for someone.
puff--
There was a sound of something emerging from the water not far away. Di Shu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a hand rising and falling in the waves. Someone was calling for help intermittently: "Help!"
Di Shu looked closely and saw that it was Qu Yaoyao and his master!
Qu Yaoyao and Xie Qingxun were saved.
When the local police pulled Qu Yaoyao up, her other hand was still tightly wrapped around Xie Qingxun's waist. The excessive force caused her arm to tremble constantly, and Xie Qingxun must have felt bad too.
"Quickly take a look at him." Not caring about the blood in her mouth, Qu Yaoyao choked out the sea water and put Xie Qingxun to the ground first.
The already injured man looked even weaker after being soaked in sea water. Xie Qingxun's skin was almost white and transparent, but his lips were dark red and black, revealing a sense of death.
"Master has been poisoned?" Di Shu was shocked when he saw this.
Sensing Xie Qingxun's extremely weak breathing, Di Shu anxiously helped him suppress the accumulated water he had choked on. Seeing that this trick was not very effective, Qu Yaoyao hurriedly knelt beside him, pinched his nose, sealed her lips with his again, and slowly passed her breath to him.
"Wake up."
"Xie Qingxun, wake up soon." Qu Yaoyao was still bleeding from her nose, and the blood was dripping onto Xie Qingxun's face.
The pressure from the sea water was too great. If Qu Yaoyao was in the body of a snow lotus, it would be fine. But she was a human now and could not resist the pressure of the sea water with her human body. The result of forcibly dragging Xie Qingxun out caused her to suffer internal injuries. She was not feeling well, and Xie Qingxun would only be suffering more than her.
With Qu Yaoyao's help, Xie Qingxun woke up soon. He first felt a burning pain in his neck, then his lips went numb and swollen. He opened his eyes and saw Qu Yaoyao's enlarged face.
"What are you doing again..." Xie Qingxun's weak tone softened slightly.
Seeing him wake up, Qu Yaoyao was overjoyed and helped him brush away the hair on his cheek. She leaned over to let him see the scene behind him and said, "Look, light."
Qu Yaoyao pointed it out to him and said, "Xie Qingxun, we saw the light. I didn't lie to you."
I brought you out of the sea, I didn't abandon you, and I didn't let you die.
Xie Qingxun was supported by Di Shu and leaned against a tree. He looked behind Qu Yaoyao and saw a faint light slowly rising from the end of the sea. The morning light shattered on the sea surface. The sky was about to brighten.
Inexplicably, he recalled how Qu Yaoyao had lied to him just now. The deep sea was dark and without light, but she pointed at the endless darkness and lied to him that she was his light.
The corners of his lips could not help but curl up slightly, and Xie Qingxun hummed softly, looking at Qu Yaoyao's face weakly, "There is light."
He did not die in the dark, cold water.
.
The poison of the viper spread very quickly. Not long after, the bite wound on Xie Qingxun's neck turned black, clinging to his pale neck, ugly and hideous, and showing a tendency to expand further and further.
Normally, they should rush back to Xianxu immediately and ask the people from Yaowang Sect to help him detoxify, but Xie Qingxun did not allow them to return to Wanmen Xianzong, so Dishu placed him in Yingxian City, which was closest to the Xianzong.
As soon as they arrived at the inn, Xie Qingxun drove them both out and stayed alone in the room to regulate his breathing and detoxify.
Even though he was almost dead, he still reminded Di Shu, "Keep an eye on her."
We finally found her, we can't let her run away again.
Qu Yaoyao and Di Shu stood outside the door, staring blankly. Both sides were silent for a while. Qu Yaoyao didn't say anything, and Di Shu didn't take the initiative to speak. He just followed Xie Qingxun's instructions and stared at Qu Yaoyao. Qu Yaoyao felt uncomfortable with his gaze, "Don't look at me like that."
She promised: "Xie Qingxun was injured because of me. I can't just abandon him now."
Di Shu didn't quite trust her and said coldly, "Master abandoned everyone in the Immortal Sect to find you and chased you all the way from Moshan to the Desolate Sea. If you still have a conscience, wait here for him to come out."
Qu Yaoyao was in the wrong in this matter, but her escape to the desolate sea on the day of her wedding was indeed an accident, not something she did on purpose.
"Even if you don't tell me, I will wait here for him to come out." Qu Yaoyao replied in a low voice, a little worried, "But are you sure your master can cure the viper poison by himself?"
Qu Yaoyao didn't quite believe it. After all, if the solution was really possible, Xie Qingxun wouldn't have risked dragging her out of the seabed first.
She said worriedly, "Why don't we take him back to the Immortal Ruins?"
"What do you know?" Di Shu refused.
He was Xie Qingxun's most trusted disciple, not just out of blind loyalty.
In order to dispel Qu Yaoyao's thoughts, he explained coldly: "The Immortal Venerable's injury is no small matter. The viper poison is so strong. If the Immortal Venerable Zi Cang knew about this, my master would not be able to detoxify it."
Qu Yaoyao felt that she had understood correctly, "You mean, Immortal Zi Cang wants to kill Xie Qingxun?"
Qu Yaoyao's idea was too simple. In fact, it was not just Immortal Zi Cang. After the tragic death of the young master of Yaowang Sect, Hua Tianhai obviously had a grudge. In addition, Qu Yaoyao had an accident on the day of her wedding in the territory of his Yaowang Sect. It was hard to guarantee that he would not do something after learning that Xie Qingxun was injured.
The seemingly peaceful and harmonious Wanmen Immortal Sect is actually surging with undercurrents and lurking murderous intentions everywhere.
The viper is the most poisonous creature in the world, and very few people can survive from it.
I don't know whether I should say that Xie Qingxun was unlucky, or that Qu Yaoyao was too unlucky for him. Although the viper that bit him had only a thousand years of cultivation, it had eaten too many people because of its evil practice, and its resentment was so deep that its poison was doubled. If it were his original body, it would be fine, but this body of his was an immortal body, and it could not digest such a fierce and powerful poison at all, so he could only suppress it temporarily.
"Puff--" During the suppression process, Xie Qingxun vomited blood in severe pain and felt a breath that repelled him flowing through his body, which was in conflict with him.
It is not caused by the viper's venom, but it is indeed emitted from its poison.
"What kind of evil magic is it practicing..." Xie Qingxun closed his eyes, regretting that he should not have let the viper die so easily.
Di Shu heard the noise inside the house and was worried that Xie Qingxun might have had an accident, so he hurriedly opened the door to check.
Looking at the black blood on the ground with poisonous gas, he was a little dazed, "Master, is your poison...resolved?"
Qu Yaoyao followed in and heard Xie Qingxun say helplessly, "I can't solve it."
"What should I do then?"
Xie Qingxun silently curled the corners of his lips, staring at Qu Yaoyao who came in and said slowly: "Wait to die."
After hearing this, Qu Yaoyao froze in place, looked up at Xie Qingxun in surprise, and found that Xie Qingxun was also looking at her.
The frail man, sick and frail, wore only a thin shirt, his face devoid of blood. His lips and neck were darkened to varying degrees by the poison. Though the stinging pain from the poison was unbearable, his dark eyes held a calm expression, as if he had already become indifferent to life and death.
"Are you...really going to die?" Qu Yaoyao walked to his bedside after a long time.
It was hard to tell whether she was sad or what at the moment. Qu Yaoyao just felt depressed, had difficulty breathing and felt a little weak.
Xie Qingxun didn't answer directly. He just said calmly, "Hell is too dark. Qu Yaoyao, if I want you to be buried with me, are you willing?"
Qu Yaoyao blinked her eyes and knelt down in front of his couch. She hesitated for only a moment before nodding, "I do."
Xie Qingxun's eyelashes trembled, as if he had not expected her to agree so readily. He turned his head to look at her for confirmation, "Are you willing?"
"Yeah." Qu Yaoyao sniffed, feeling her eyes sore and rubbing them again. After rubbing them, she looked at Xie Qingxun with red eyes and told him her true feelings, "Although I don't want to die, you saved my life. If you really want it, take it away."
If it weren't for Xie Qingxun, she would probably have died in the dragon's mouth.
So, she was willing to be buried with him in order to repay his kindness.
Xie Qingxun sneered, "I'll keep your life for now."
"If anything happens to any Japanese, you will be the first one to be dragged to hell."
Qu Yaoyao agreed, but soon noticed the strangeness in his words. She reacted and asked, "What do you mean by keep it for now?"
"So you can't die?"
Xie Qingxun glanced at her and asked, "From your tone, do you feel regret?"
Xie Qingxun pulled out a token from thin air, handed it to Di Shu, and said, "Go and find someone for me."
Di Shu obeyed the order and before leaving, he looked at Qu Yaoyao and then at his master, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Don't worry." Xie Qingxun understood what he meant, closed his eyelashes and spoke slowly, "Even if I lose all my cultivation, she is still no match for me."
Qu Yaoyao realized it later and looked at them with bright and clear eyes, "Who are you talking about?"
"..." Di Shu felt that his worries were indeed unnecessary.
“…”
Di Shu only booked one guest room. After he left, Xie Qingxun didn't let her leave. Qu Yaoyao was tired and could only lie down at the table to rest. Xie Qingxun could see her back just by turning his head.
After relaxing, Qu Yaoyao felt sore all over.
She first released a wave of spiritual power in order to survive at the bottom of the sea, and then took Xie Qingxun to the extreme to survive and suffered internal injuries. Now that the crisis has been resolved, the physical strength she had previously advanced has begun to backfire, and Qu Yaoyao urgently needs to rest.
She was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting each other. In this quiet atmosphere, she fell into a dream in a short while.
Although Xie Qingxun was seriously injured, his hearing was still strong. When he heard the sound of his even breathing, he couldn't help but close his eyes and his mind gradually calmed down.
"Hmm..." Suddenly, Qu Yaoyao's breathing stopped.
Xie Qingxun opened her eyes and saw the figure beside the table trembling slightly, as if she had dreamed of something terrible. She frowned and let out a broken moan, then soon woke up shivering.
"Don't eat me!" Qu Yaoyao shouted in panic.
Just like a cat whose tail was stepped on, she jumped up from the table before she even realized what was happening, her breathing becoming rapid and unsteady.
When she saw the furnishings in the room clearly, she felt like she had escaped from a nightmare. She patted her chest with a sigh of relief and murmured to herself, "This is not the underwater stone palace. I've already come out of there."
“…It’s out.”
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Xie Qingxun, ran a few steps to his bed and knelt on the floor.
Xie Qingxun was watching a play and didn't expect her to suddenly run towards him. He raised his eyelashes and glanced at her without asking her what was wrong.
He didn't ask, but Qu Yaoyao took the initiative to speak.
Gently tugging at the corner of his sleeve, she lay down beside the couch and whispered to him, "I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that the giant dragon ate me."
"Actually, if he really swallowed me whole, I wouldn't be that scared. But before he ate me, he gave me hope and said he would let me go. But every time, before I could even run out of the palace, he would grab me and drag me back to him. Later, he even tied me up with chains and beat me while forcing me to cry and beg him. He's really perverted."
Xie Qingxun was silent with his eyelashes half closed, and he didn't pay any attention to Qu Yaoyao.
After Qu Yaoyao had been rambling on for quite a while, he seemed to grow annoyed and replied slowly, "Is this considered abnormal?"
She still knows too little.
Qu Yaoyao was choked by his question and murmured foolishly: "...Isn't he a pervert?"
"So what does it mean to be truly perverted?"
Xie Qingxun twitched the corner of his lips, "Are you sure you want to know?"
"Forget it." Qu Yaoyao felt that Xie Qingxun was strange, and her intuition told her that this topic should end here, so she gave up her curiosity and rested her face in the crook of her arms and shook it. "I'm afraid I'll have a nightmare again after hearing this."
Xie Qingxun didn't say anything after hearing this. He leaned back on the pillow and closed his eyes to rest.
Qu Yaoyao stopped talking when she saw this. She herself was not a talkative person, but because Xie Qingxun spoke so little, it seemed as if she talked a lot.
Blowing the loose hair on her forehead, Qu Yaoyao's cheeks puffed up like a little frog, and she was bored to death. After a while, her eyelids became heavy and she felt a little sleepy, but she was not comfortable lying on the couch, so she couldn't help but adjust her posture.
Because of the nightmare, Qu Yaoyao didn't dare to sit in the outer room anymore, and only dared to stay next to Xie Qingxun. But there was only one couch here. Qu Yaoyao looked around and finally set her sights on Xie Qingxun's couch. There was still a large open space there, which was enough for another person to lie down.
"Hello." After hesitating for a while, Qu Yaoyao pulled his sleeve again.
She was a little embarrassed and stammered, "Can I sleep next to you for a while?"
Xie Qingxun seemed to be asleep, he didn't move and didn't answer.
Qu Yaoyao waited for a while, her eyes sparkling as she moved closer to him. She whispered softly in his ear, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."
Without waiting for Qu Yaoyao to move and climb onto the couch, Xie Qingxun suddenly opened his eyelashes.
As he tilted his head, his thin lips almost brushed against Qu Yaoyao's face, and he uttered a few words slowly: "—No."
Qu Yaoyao's bright eyes dimmed instantly, and she slumped back down on the couch in frustration. She said sullenly, "Forget it if it doesn't work."
This was not the room she had booked, so she didn't have the confidence to snatch it from someone else.
If she said no, then no, Qu Yaoyao didn't argue about this kind of thing, and she went to the corner of the couch and dozed off. She didn't sit on the couch, but just sat on the floor, leaning against the wall, sleeping with her head down, looking pitiful and innocent, like an abandoned kitten.
After an unknown amount of time, the door opened.
Di Shu led a man in a black cloak in. Seeing Qu Yaoyao lying on the corner of the couch, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you want a subordinate..."
"No need." Xie Qingxun coughed twice, his face looking worse than before.
His body cannot suppress the viper poison for too long. If he cannot detoxify it for a long time, the backlash of the viper poison will only make him die faster.
He raised his hand and ripped open his collar, revealing a large area of neck skin, and said to the black-robed man behind Di Shu, "Let's begin."
.
When Qu Yaoyao woke up, the man in black robe was performing a spell to detoxify Xie Qingxun.
After waking up, she didn't feel much better. Instead, her body was still sore and weak, and she had little strength.
Seeing that there was suddenly another person in the room, she couldn't help but look at him a few more times out of curiosity. However, she was shocked when she saw that the man in black robe had no face, and there was nothing under the hood of the black robe, only a ball of black mist.
Is he... a human?
Qu Yaoyao looked at the end of the black robe and felt that there was a hint of evil spirit coming from him.
Suddenly, the five fingers of the man in black robe gathered together and took away the healing magic wrapped around Xie Qingxun. Qu Yaoyao thought that he had helped Xie Qingxun to detoxify, but when she turned her head, she found that the wound on Xie Qingxun's neck was still emitting black air, and even spread from the side of the neck to the shoulder, densely packed like a condensed spider web.
"I am guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty." The man in black robe knelt down in fear.
Xie Qingxun felt as if his neck was splitting inch by inch, and the viper poison was running wildly through his body out of control.
Wiping the black blood from the corner of his lips, he asked hoarsely, "What happened?"
The black robe said, "The viper that bit Your Majesty was extremely sinister. I alone cannot remove the poison from Your Majesty."
"Then what should we do?" Di Shu was a little anxious. "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you didn't have the ability to detoxify? Are you trying to kill Master?!"
"I dare not!" Feeling a chilling murderous aura coming towards him, the black-robed man said in panic, "I know of something that might be able to detoxify Your Majesty. The viper is a poisonous creature, but the heart of a viper that has transformed into a dragon can be refined into a dragon pearl. I've read in ancient medical books that the dragon pearl can detoxify viper poison."
Di Shu's tone became even colder. "Where do you want me to find the Jiaozhu?"
The man in black robe said it lightly. With the extinction of the ancient dragon clan, its collateral vipers were almost extinct as well. The few remaining vipers all hid themselves and were not a big deal at all. How many of them could become dragons?
"Um..." Qu Yaoyao interrupted quietly when she saw Di Shu was about to draw his sword in a hurry.
She pulled out a red bead from her bosom, held it out to them, and politely asked, "Could you please help me take a look? Is this a dragon bead?"
The author has something to say: Yaoyao: In the end, I still have to rely on you to pick up the scraps.
