Chapter 6 Immortal Lord 006%
.
Qu Yaoyao felt that Immortal Qingxi wanted to strangle her to death.
His fingertips were ice-cold and without any warmth, and he held her neck with great force, as if she would die in his hands if she said anything that was not to her liking.
The inexperienced little Xuelian was frightened, her eyes misty, she sobbed and dared not tell the truth, "I, I don't know..."
Before she could finish her words, Qu Yaoyao felt the pain in her neck worsen, and quickly changed her words: "I know, I know!"
"Please, don't kill me." People who have died once will never want to experience death a second time.
Qingxi Immortal Venerable loosened his grip slightly, not softened by the girl's soft pleas. His tone was cold as he whispered in her ear, "My patience is limited."
Without patience, this person will lose his life.
Qu Yaoyao sniffed, frantically pondering a plan. She hesitated, wondering if she should tell the truth to Qingxi Immortal Venerable. He seemed to truly care about the Cold Pond Snow Lotus.
Xiao Xuelian is not a very smart person, but she still has a basic sense of crisis.
In just a moment, she gave up the idea of telling the truth in her heart. After all, the Immortal Lord in front of her looked too scary. There is a saying that goes, "You can know a person's face but not his heart." Life is at stake. Who knows whether he values the Cold Pond Snow Lotus so much out of genuine concern or for ulterior motives.
"The snow lotus was indeed stolen." Before finding out the purpose of Immortal Qingxi, Qu Yaoyao decided to lie first.
She wasn't very good at lying, and the only excuse she could come up with was to use the painting. She stumbled over her words, "The Immortal Venerable guess is correct. The person in the painting is the one who stole the little snow lotus."
"Oh?" Immortal Qingxi said in a flat tone.
He didn't believe Qu Yaoyao's words and asked calmly, "How do you know that?"
"B-Because..."
"Because I know the person in the painting. She is my sister!"
"Sister?" Immortal Qingxi sneered.
Qu Yaoyao had her back to him, so she couldn't see his expression, but she felt like he was smiling softly. The grip, which had loosened slightly, tightened again. Qingxi grasped the back of Qu Yaoyao's neck and whispered softly into her ear, "How could I not remember that Miss Qu San has a younger sister?"
The leader of Xingyang Sect, Qu Yingsi, only gave birth to three children, two girls and one boy. Qu Yaoyao was the youngest, and she didn't have any younger sisters.
Seeing Qingxi's murderous intent again, Qu Yaoyao subconsciously closed her eyes. With a strong desire to survive, she quickly made up a lie. She said:
The girl in the painting is indeed her sister, but very few people know this. All along, her sister has been elusive and rarely appears in public. Usually, she is the closest to her and occasionally shares some little secrets between sisters with her.
"Illegitimate daughter?" Immortal Qingxi continued.
Qu Yaoyao was stunned. She was confused at first about what illegitimate daughter meant, but she quickly realized what was happening and said affirmatively, "Yes, she is my mother's illegitimate daughter hidden in Xingyang Sect!"
Xie Qingxun believed it a little more, and asked in a slightly dangerous tone, "Why did she steal the Cold Pond Snow Lotus? Was it Qu Yingsi's idea?"
Telling one lie requires countless lies to cover it up. Perhaps it was the desire to survive that made Qu Yaoyao react quickly, telling lies one after another. "It wasn't my mother's order. It was my sister who stole it herself."
Since she was ready to put the blame on herself, Qu Yaoyao absolutely could not let the Xingyang Sect get in trouble, so she made up a story: "My sister said she had a strange disease that could only be cured by the Cold Pond Snow Lotus. She decided to come and steal it a long time ago."
"I thought she was just joking, but she was serious."
Once this was said, the rest of the story followed naturally.
Qu Yaoyao said that she came to see Qingxi Immortal Venerable because her sister was missing and she wanted to find out more information. Who would have thought that when she came in, she would see a portrait of her "sister".
"Even though she stole the snow lotus, she is still my sister after all. I, I don't want anything to happen to her." That's why she ran away as soon as she saw the portrait, intending to conceal the truth.
"Then what you said earlier was strange..."
"It's to test the status of the snow lotus in the Immortal Venerable's heart. This way I can decide whether or not to tell the Immortal Venerable about my sister's affairs."
All the lies were covered up, Xie Qingxun was silent, and suddenly lost his voice.
Qu Yaoyao didn't dare to relax and asked cautiously, "Immortal Venerable, can you let me go?"
Her dress was loose, resembling a butterfly with its wings spread, but now it was entangled by the magic snake, revealing her curves. Although she knew that the magic snake was transformed by the magic of Qingxi Immortal Venerable, Qu Yaoyao was still a little scared.
She tried to negotiate weakly, "Even if you won't let me go, could you please let that magic snake leave first?"
"I... am scared." He was really scared. His voice was trembling and hoarse with tears in his eyes. He couldn't fake it.
Xie Qingxun fixed his gaze on her delicate neck, his eyes dark and gloomy as he considered whether to kill her or keep her.
After Qu Yaoyao weakly called out "Immortal Lord" again, Xie Qingxun felt a little annoyed. He grabbed Qu Yaoyao's shoulders in a not-so-gentle manner and turned her over to face him.
As the Cold Pond Snow Lotus, her original body possessed a thousand years of cultivation. She was not as strong as an Immortal Venerable, but at least she had the ability to struggle and escape. However, Qu Yaoyao's body was too weak, and this body had no foundation for cultivation. It would take time for the little Snow Lotus to merge her cultivation with this body.
It was precisely because she was now powerless that she could only allow Qingxi Immortal Venerable to bully and manipulate her. The sudden turn caught her off guard, and when she crashed headfirst into Qingxi Immortal Venerable's arms, he mercilessly pressed her against the screen, trapping her between his arms.
"Hmm..." Qu Yaoyao's cheek was pinched and lifted up by Qingxi.
She was still a tender girl, with a chubby face and some baby fat. Now that Xie Qingxun was pinching her face, her puffy cheeks looked cute, and her misty eyes were flushed, which made her look a little pitiful.
Qingxi Immortal Venerable, the Lord of All Immortals, pinched Qu Yaoyao's face and looked her over. His intimidating gaze slowly moved from her forehead to her eyes and lips. After a long pause, he raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "You do bear some resemblance to her."
I didn’t notice it before, maybe Qu Yaoyao has gained some weight recently, Xie Qingxun found that Qu Yaoyao really looks like the girl in the painting.
The same clear, round eyes, the same rosy, pouty lips, even the expression of fear and panic—all resembled the girl in the painting. Xie Qingxun carefully recalled every detail of the girl in the painting, realizing only belatedly that he had only met the little girl once, yet her appearance had been deeply engraved in his bones.
So, was the snow lotus really stolen by her?
Xie Qingxun seemed to see Qu Yaoyao's so-called "sister" through her face. No wonder he smelled the fragrance of lotus in the strong smell of blood that night. It turned out that it was not his crazy imagination.
Unfortunately, she was already dead, and he had dispersed her soul to prevent any future troubles, leaving her with no chance of recovery.
Her sister...is also going to die.
"Master, I have something important to report!" Just when Xie Qingxun was about to kill Qu Yaoyao, Gu Tianci's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
Xie Qingxun paused in his killing move, and when he heard the three words "Medicine King Sect", his magic dissipated and he raised his hand to remove the restriction on Qu Yaoyao. He thought of something and decided to spare her life first.
Qu Yaoyao could see Xie Qingxun's murderous intent, so after she was free, she pushed him away and quickly fled out of the hall.
This time she didn't bump into the screen again. Her dress fluttered, the jewels on her body jingled, and her hair brushed the back of Xie Qingxun's hand. Xie Qingxun let her escape, staring coldly at her back without reacting.
The moment the palace door opened, the girl, with her clothes fluttering in the wind, suddenly stopped.
Outside the hall, more than a dozen corpses carried in by the Yaowang Sect were lying horizontally.
The corpses were covered with dazzling white cloth. When Qu Yaoyao pushed open the door of the temple, the wind swept over a corpse near the door. The white cloth was lifted up, revealing the body inside. It was the young master of the Medicine King Sect who had died long ago.
Qu Yaoyao opened her eyes wide and almost fell to the ground after seeing it. She recognized the body!
The bloody young man she saw when she stumbled into the jungle the night she transformed was him! It turned out that the fallen Immortal Venerable had killed not just one young man, but dozens of others!
No wonder there is so much blood on him...
That night, already chilling for her, became even more terrifying with the dozens of dead souls on her back. Qu Yaoyao felt guilty for not being able to save the boy, and now, seeing his tragically dead body, she subconsciously backed away, not daring to approach.
Once I retreat, I don’t know into whose arms I will retreat.
Under these multiple blows, Qu Yaoyao's tears, which she had been trying to hold back, could no longer be contained, wetting her long eyelashes and streaming down her face. When she looked up to see who was behind her, her legs buckled and she nearly fell to the ground again, but a pair of hands held her steady.
"Be careful." Xie Qingxun put one arm around Qu Yaoyao's waist and the other hand on her right arm. He lifted the half-limp person up with a little force, lowered his eyes and gently repeated in her ear: "Miss Yaoyao, be careful."
Watch out for your life, it will be in danger if you dare to speak carelessly.
The soft and harmless girl will not make a big fuss when she breaks down and cries. Her shallow sobs will only make people feel distressed and pity.
Qu Yaoyao had a milky white complexion, so crying made the corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose appear excessively red, as if she'd applied rouge. Hearing the warning in Qingxi Immortal Venerable's words, she whimpered and pushed Xie Qingxun's arm, saying with anger, grievance, and helplessness, "I don't want you to care."
The butterfly in my arms flew away.
Xie Qingxun watched all this happen calmly without trying to stop him.
The hall was open, and the steps were strewn with corpses. In the bright sunlight, Xie Qingxun, dressed in white, was cold and elegant, his sinister and ghostly demeanor concealed. It wasn't until Qu Yaoyao ran a long way that she turned back and found Qingxi still standing in the hall.
A gentle breeze lifted the hem of his embroidered white robe, and the man stood tall and straight with his hands behind his back. He gazed at the corpses with a compassionate yet lonely gaze, quietly listening to the Medicine King Sect's leader's tearful plea for justice for his son.
Qu Yaoyao felt so sad.
I don't know whether they are feeling sorry for themselves or for others. The cruelest ghost is right next to them, but they all worship and pray to him as if he were a high god, hoping to find salvation in him.
"Yaoyao." Qu Yaoyao heard someone calling her.
When Qu Yushu saw that his sister had not returned for a long time, he learned that something had happened to Wangxu and came to look for her anxiously, but found that Qu Yaoyao was crying with tears all over her face.
Before he could ask, Qu Yaoyao threw herself into his arms with a cry.
"Brother——" Qu Yaoyao choked.
Her dream was shattered.
The immortal whom she once admired and worshipped as a god was also shattered.
Her whole world shattered together.
“…”
After returning to the sect from Wangxu, Qu Yaoyao fell seriously ill.
She was drowsy and weak for days, mumbling in her sleep and often waking up from nightmares, only to fall back into a coma again. Once again, Qu Yaoyao fell into a coma and dreamt of the scene of her death, where someone was strangling her and she couldn't breathe.
It was an extremely pale hand, slender and powerful, with straight finger bones. If it weren't for the sharp nails, it would have been an extremely beautiful hand.
Qu Yaoyao still couldn't see clearly the person who killed her. When she woke up gasping for breath, she found that her whole body was sweating and she had regained a lot of strength. Qu Yushu was sitting beside the couch trying to feed her medicine.
"Yaoyao is awake?" Qu Yushu was surprised.
Qu Yaoyao had been sleeping for many days, and the voice of the brother she called out was hoarse and tired. Qu Yushu helped her up and said with relief, "It's good that you're awake. The medicine sent by the Immortal Venerable is indeed very effective."
The word "Immortal Venerable" instantly opened up Qu Yaoyao's dusty memories. Looking at the medicine bottle in Qu Yushu's hand, Qu Yaoyao coughed anxiously, "What Immortal Venerable?"
"Who sent this medicine?"
Qu Yushu hurriedly helped her smooth her back and said softly, "This is the medicine sent by Immortal Qingxi."
Knowing his sister's mad love for Qingxi Immortal Venerable, he wanted to use this opportunity to make her feel better, so he explained thoughtfully: "The Immortal Venerable learned that you were ill, so he specially asked Tianci Immortal Lord to send medicine. You should take good care of yourself."
Qu Yaoyao's face was already pale, and it turned even paler after hearing this. "I ate it?"
"I fed you two yesterday, and just now I fed you one, and you woke up."
No wonder she felt suffocated.
"Would you like another one?"
How could Qu Yaoyao dare to eat it?
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but ever since she learned the medicine was sent by Qingxi Immortal Venerable, she'd felt a worsening sense of suffocation and discomfort. Suspecting Qingxi Immortal Venerable had tampered with the medicine, Qu Yaoyao immediately reached out to dig out the pill she'd just swallowed.
Qu Yushu hurriedly stopped her, "Yaoyao, what are you doing?"
He grabbed Qu Yaoyao's wrist, and his five fingers easily encircled her. Qu Yaoyao lowered her head and touched a few clean, straight fingertips. She found that her brother's hands were quite beautiful.
It looks like the hand that appeared in the nightmare...
