Chapter 36 Immortal Lord 036%
After coming out of the meeting hall, Xie Qingxun went straight back to his bedroom.
Inside the bedroom, Qu Yaoyao was still comatose. The once vibrant little girl was now lifeless and weak. Gu Tianci followed him, reporting on the important events in Wangxu since his departure. Upon seeing the figure on the couch, he hesitated, "Qu Yaoyao... hasn't woken up yet?"
"Do you want your disciple Xun Xuanxiao to come and take a look?"
Xie Qingxun frowned slightly when he heard the name and said indifferently, "No need."
After removing his elaborate wedding attire, Xie Qingxun was left half-naked, his torso covered in scars, both deep and shallow, already scabbed over. Gu Tianci took the new garment from the screen and, as he handed it to Xie Qingxun, noticed the bruise on his waist. His eyes widened.
"Master, this is happening on the side of your waist..." If Gu Tianci saw correctly, it was probably caused by an excessively heavy hug.
Who dares to treat his master like this?!
Xie Qingxun lowered his eyes in response, seeing the distinct purple marks on his waist, left by Qu Yaoyao dragging him upstream from the seabed. Qu Yaoyao had healed most of his injuries, but had avoided the marks she had inflicted herself.
"It's okay." Xie Qingxun took the clothes from Gu Tianci's hand and put them on slowly to cover the bruises.
Two days later, unexpectedly, these purple marks not only did not disappear but became darker. It can be imagined how much effort Qu Yaoyao used to drag him out of the sea.
Xie Qingxun was lost in thought, until Gu Tianci called him twice. He then hummed softly, "Go on, I'm listening."
Gu Tianci hesitated, "Will this disturb her rest?"
"She can't hear." Xie Qingxun said as he walked to the couch and sat down, tilting his head slightly to look at the sleeping girl.
To save him, Qu Yaoyao had nearly exhausted all the Snow Lotus energy in her body and was now in a deep sleep. As he spoke, he raised his hand to touch Qu Yaoyao's cheek, but it felt smooth and cold, like a block of ice bubbling with chill air.
"Why is it so cold?" Xie Qingxun frowned slightly and touched her neck again.
Gu Tianci had wanted to say this for a long time, but now that he saw that his master didn't seem to be indifferent to Qu Yaoyao, he coughed and pointed out, "Master, this is a jade bed of ice. Most people can't afford it."
The Ice Jade Bed was made of ten-thousand-year-old black ice. Ordinary people would shiver if they touched it, let alone a seriously ill and frail girl. Gu Tianci finally spoke out what she had been holding back, "Even if this is the only bed in your room, please at least put some thick bedding on it."
If you put the girl on the bare ice bed like this, she will probably freeze to death before she recovers.
Xie Qingxun had been accustomed to such temperatures for hundreds of years and hadn't considered these things. Seeing that Qu Yaoyao's temperature was still dropping, he pursed his lips and lifted her from the couch, "Go find some bedding and covers."
After looking around the room, he couldn't find a place to put Qu Yaoyao. He could only temporarily put her in his arms and grabbed the robe on the screen to wrap her.
Qu Yaoyao's breathing was still weak, but thankfully it was long and even, showing no abnormalities. She usually looked petite, but now, held in Xie Qingxun's arms, she looked even more like a tiny cat. Covered by Xie Qingxun's wide skirt, her figure was almost invisible unless one looked closely.
While Gu Tianci went to get the bedding, Xie Qingxun just held Qu Yaoyao in his arms. However, his body temperature was not much better than the ice bed. The water magic penetrated his skin and meridians, and the coldness lingered. It was at most softer than the ice jade bed.
"Master, everything is ready." Gu Tianci specially called two maids to tidy up the jade bed.
Xie Qingxun didn't put Qu Yaoyao back on the couch immediately. He held her in his arms and stood by the window. He glanced at the soft and comfortable ice bed and said with an unclear emotion, "You really care about her."
Not only did they send someone to tidy up the ice bed, but they also placed several sets of women's clothes in his cabinet.
Gu Tianci's expression was a little awkward, and he stammered, "Qu Yaoyao is now seriously injured because of the poor care of my disciples. I just want to..."
He didn't know how to continue the conversation.
Gu Tianci has a cold exterior but a warm heart. He may be harsh in words but looks cruel, but in fact he is the one who understands the thoughts of Xie Qingxun's disciples the most thoroughly.
At the beginning, he really didn't like Qu Yaoyao, but not liking her didn't mean he wanted her dead, especially after Qu Yaoyao disappeared in front of him. The panic and powerlessness overwhelmed his rationality. Until now, he still believed that Qu Yaoyao's disappearance was the work of that group of evil spirits.
"Okay, you can go out now." Seeing him like this, Xie Qingxun was too lazy to explain the truth to him.
Without forcing Gu Tianci to continue, he coldly dismissed the person and placed Qu Yaoyao on the soft jade bed.
Gu Tianci found a high-quality silver silk mattress that could effectively resist the coldness emitted by the ice bed. With a slight snort, Xie Qingxun helped Qu Yaoyao cover the quilt, took the glass cup on the table and opened the lid.
I guess he has to feed it himself.
Xie Qingxun used a spoon to stir the liquid in the cup. He had no experience feeding people, so his movements were clumsy and he failed to feed the water to Qu Yaoyao several times. Eventually, he grew tired of this and lifted Qu Yaoyao's neck, leaning over and taking a sip of the water from his own mouth.
The bowl of water quickly ran out. The last time, perhaps because he had too much water in his mouth, the person beneath him couldn't swallow it fast enough and choked, letting out a few weak coughs. Seeing this, Xie Qingxun pulled the person into his arms, and the person fell limply in his arms.
The choked little girl looked pitiful. Her pale complexion had turned a faint pink, and her breathing was a little more rapid than before. She looked so frail, so weak that she seemed to be shattered at the slightest touch. Even the usually cold-hearted Xie Qingxun was a little more gentle when he held her.
"How can he be so weak..." Xie Qingxun murmured.
His face didn't show much expression, he just used his hands to help her calm down. After a while, he held her and changed his position. He saw that her lips were shiny and stained with water. He wanted to wipe them with a handkerchief, but when he smelled the delicate lotus fragrance on her body, he leaned over and pressed his lips to hers.
Xie Qingxun, his eyelashes drooping, rubbed his cheek against hers, slowly sucking away the moisture from the corners of her lips. Aside from sucking, he didn't do anything inappropriate. He just couldn't resist biting her soft lower lip at the end, perhaps because he didn't control the pressure well enough. He heard a faint, animal-like whimper, followed by a gentle movement. Qu Yaoyao curled up in his arms and shifted position.
Does this mean you are not allowed to kiss?
Looking at Qu Yaoyao buried in his clothes, Xie Qingxun curled the corners of his lips slightly.
Just as he was about to pull the person out of his arms, his half-extended hand suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face disappeared bit by bit.
What is he...doing?
Looking at Qu Yaoyao in his arms, Xie Qingxun seemed to have just come to his senses, his eyes gradually turning colder. He shouldn't be like this, nor should he waste his time on Qu Yaoyao. He still had many important things to do.
Gently closing his eyelashes, Xie Qingxun pushed Qu Yaoyao back onto the couch, and stood up and left without looking at her again.
“…”
Three days passed, and Qu Yaoyao still showed no signs of waking up.
During these three days, Xie Qingxun did not stay for long except to feed Qu Yaoyao water. He seldom returned to the bedroom, and he did not allow others to enter.
As usual on this day, Xie Qingxun came in with a glass cup and suddenly found that Qu Yaoyao, who had been sleeping flat on her back, had changed her sleeping position and was sleeping on her side with her arms folded.
"Qu Yaoyao?" Xie Qingxun sat beside the couch and called her softly, thinking she was awake.
After waiting for a while without hearing her response, Xie Qingxun stared at her sleeping face dimly. He was obviously used to her not responding, but today he just felt a little angry.
"How long are you going to sleep?"
Xie Qingxun's voice was a little cold as he gently stirred the liquid in the glass cup. He didn't care whether Qu Yaoyao could hear him or not, and threatened himself, "If you don't wake up now, you'll never wake up again."
He couldn't keep a 'corpse' forever.
Pushing Qu Yaoyao's body straight, Xie Qingxun gently lifted her neck and, as before, took some water in his mouth. He had become accustomed to this method of feeding her water over the past few days. Just as he was about to lower his lips to cover Qu Yaoyao's, he suddenly heard a low moan in his ear.
Qu Yaoyao woke up.
When she woke up, her neck was stiff, as if it was being shackled in someone's palm. She twisted slightly uncomfortably, just avoiding Xie Qingxun's lips. Her cheek seemed to be rubbed by something. She slowly opened her eyes and vaguely saw the figure in front of her.
"Thank you... Qingxun?" Qu Yaoyao blinked.
After swallowing the water in his mouth, Xie Qingxun helped the man up and replied calmly, "It's me."
When Qu Yaoyao first woke up, she was not fully awake yet. She did not ask where she was or what happened to her as Xie Qingxun had imagined. Instead, after seeing Xie Qingxun's face clearly, she excitedly grabbed his hand.
"Have you been cured of the poison?" This was the question Qu Yaoyao was most concerned about when she woke up.
Xie Qingxun was slightly startled, and the emotions frozen in his eyes quietly cracked.
Qu Yaoyao fell into coma too quickly that day and did not hear his answer. Unexpectedly, when she woke up again, she was still obsessed with the same question. Xie Qingxun moved his wrist slightly to try to pull out the hand she was holding, but she did not move.
"I solved it." It was the same answer as last time. He didn't show any emotion and just answered with two simple words.
Xie Qingxun clearly hadn't thanked her, and hadn't even been gentle with her, but Qu Yaoyao still managed to curl her lips slightly after hearing his response. Her smile wasn't big, but starlight flickered in her eyes, and she weakly replied, as if to claim credit: "See, I told you I wouldn't let you die."
She really helped him to detoxify the snake.
Xie Qingxun looked at her quietly, his beautiful phoenix eyes were dark and deep, reflecting her smile clearly.
"Do you still remember how you saved me?"
Qu Yaoyao tilted her head, thought about it seriously, and replied honestly, "I don't remember."
"Anyway, you were all I could think about at the time. I kept telling myself that I couldn't die and that I had to save you. Then my consciousness started to fade, and when I woke up again, I saw you."
She paused, looked at the man in brocade robes, who was cold and unparalleled, and added: "You are completely normal."
"Normal?" Xie Qingxun noticed her choice of words and raised his eyes slightly. "Are you saying that I wasn't normal before?"
Qu Yaoyao didn't respond directly, but simply gave him a look that said, "Don't you know what's going on?" She gathered some strength and tugged at his sleeve. A slender wrist was revealed, and seeing that the bloody scars on his body were gone, Qu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "It's all healed."
"It seems I slept for a long time..."
Xie Qingxun's eyes flashed, "You don't remember?"
Qu Yaoyao looked at him blankly, "Remember what?"
Seeing her innocent face, Xie Qingxun's heart sank, and he finally just replied: "Nothing."
She seemed unaware that she had healed all the wounds on his body, and was completely unaware of her own strength. You have to know that when he had cut several wounds on his body to let the blood flow, each one was a fatal blow, paving the way for his own death, and forcibly destroying this body.
Perhaps in Qu Yaoyao's eyes, she just helped him detoxify the viper and rescued him from the brink of death, but she didn't know that she was actually pulling someone out of death.
Qu Yaoyao didn't simply save him, she reshaped his flesh, blood and meridians, giving him a second rebirth.
The Snow Lotus of the Cold Pond... can actually bring the dead back to life.
Xie Qingxun pursed his lips, changed the subject, picked up the glass cup on the table, put it in her hand and said, "Since you are awake, drink it yourself."
Qu Yaoyao looked down and saw that the cup was filled with half a bowl of clear liquid. She asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"Lotus dew."
Qu Yaoyao was unconscious because her cold pond essence had been severely depleted, and her lotus energy had dissipated. No one else could save her, and even elixirs were of little use. So Xie Qingxun sent Di Shu to guard the cold pond every morning, collecting the dew from the snow lotus.
The lotus dew can be absorbed by her body and transformed into lotus breath to repair her essence, otherwise Qu Yaoyao would not have woken up so quickly.
While Qu Yaoyao was holding the glass cup and sipping, there were two knocks on the palace door.
Xie Qingxun frowned slightly, stood up and said, "Just lie here and don't move. I'll be back soon."
The lotus dew was cool, sweet and delicious. Qu Yaoyao drank it as if she wanted to squeeze her face into the glass cup. She took the time to hum twice as a response to him.
.
Di Shu was waiting quietly outside the palace gate.
Ever since Qu Yaoyao moved into Xie Qingxun's bedroom, he could no longer enter and leave as freely as before.
Di Shu's face was pale as he wiped the blood from his sleeves. When he saw Xie Qingxun coming out, he replied respectfully, "Disciple has killed Guo Hongyi. His body is hanging at the main gate of Xuanqing Sect."
Guo Hongyi was the young man who mocked the devil in the council hall a few days ago. As soon as he came out of the hall that day, Xie Qingxun ordered him to be killed.
"But was there a mark left on him?"
Di Shu nodded, "Disciple left eight words on his back."
——Anyone who violates the power of the devil will be punished.
"Well done." Xie Qingxun narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his lips was cold.
It's just not enough.
"Contact Black Robe and have him send some disciples from the Myriad Poison Sect to infiltrate the Xuanqing Sect. This sect just lost its young master, so we should give them some excitement."
Di Shu was stunned for a moment, then reminded him, "The leader of the Xuanqing Sect has a violent temper. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle this incident with the Wandu Sect."
"I just don't want them to end well." The name Di Feng has disappeared for too long. These immortal sects have lived in peace for thousands of years, and there are many people like Guo Hongyi.
Xie Qingxun must cause chaos in the entire cultivation world. Only when this group of people panic can his plan be implemented faster.
“…”
When Xie Qingxun returned to the room, there was an empty glass cup on the table and Qu Yaoyao was lying on the couch and asleep.
She did not sleep well, her brows were slightly furrowed and her lips were open, as if she was trapped in a horrible nightmare, and she kept muttering to herself.
Xie Qingxun moved closer and vaguely heard the word "crazy". He roughly guessed what she dreamed about.
The author has something to say: Xiao Xie: It was me in her dream.
