Chapter 285 The Pavilion of Slaughtering Hearts, The Lamp of Tranquility
Qi Xiangxiang looked at Ji Xinghan: "Are you confident?"
Ji Xinghan touched the Tranquilizing Lamp.
With this lamp here, there will be absolutely no problem.
However, with so many people watching, she has to keep what she's doing a secret, otherwise, there's no guarantee that someone won't try to stop her, or that some beta tester might be eyeing her from behind.
So she threw a silver rope to Qi Xiangxiang and said, "If you can't control me, you can use this."
She knew that these people had some sense of justice, otherwise they wouldn't have risked their lives to guard this place and specifically kill those infected with the Heart-Slaying Virus.
By doing this, they are actually stopping the spread of the virus.
Therefore, she wanted to resolve this matter properly.
Qi Xiangxiang took the silver rope and nodded: "Okay, be careful."
Ji Xinghan snapped a picture and rushed over with lightning speed.
Du Ruoming was shocked and stepped forward to give chase, but Qi Xiangxiang swayed and stopped him: "Don't go!"
Du Ruoming's face darkened: "Qi Xiangxiang, are you just going to let her in like this? If something happens, will you take responsibility?"
Qi Xiangxiang declared firmly, "I'll take responsibility!"
Du Ruoming gritted his teeth: "You're all in cahoots, of course you'll say that. Qi Xiangxiang, don't forget we're here to kill those infected with the Heart-Slaying Virus and to stop others from going there to their deaths."
Chu Feifei said weakly, "But we can't just keep guarding like this, can we? This is too passive. We have to find a way to deal with Madam Yingyue."
Du Ruoming stepped back, sneering, "What if Ji Xinghan isn't up to the task?"
Someone quickly said, "Ji Xinghan is the most capable person in our district. If she can't do it, then we certainly can't."
Du Ruoming: "Heh, the reputation is well-deserved, but the reality is hard to live up to!"
Qi Xiangxiang was a woman of few words to begin with, and after hearing Du Ruoming's words, she frowned but remained silent.
As we were talking about earlier, Du Ruoming implied that Ji Xinghan was no good, only famous. She didn't know where his hostility came from.
Judging from Ji Xinghan's expression, he didn't recognize him either.
The crowd quickly fell silent, and one by one they closed their eyes to rest.
Ji Xinghan carried the Tranquilizing Lamp and hurried along.
The road was easy to walk on. Unlike the other areas where flowers and trees were lush, this place was barren, truly living up to Song Zhuo's words—not a blade of grass grew here.
The land gradually turned brown, which made people feel uneasy.
Soon, Ji Xinghan spotted a solitary pavilion in the distance.
The pavilion was made of obsidian, and it was pitch black. Black lanterns hung on it, emitting a red glow.
A dark green plant surrounds the pavilion, its vines winding down from the top and bearing small black flowers.
The flower has five petals, is small, and has a dark green stamen inside.
There was a table and four chairs in the pavilion, all of which were black.
The wind blows, the vines sway, spreading an eerie and sinister atmosphere.
It was just evening, but there was no sunset here; the sky was covered with dark clouds, making it gloomy.
Ji Xinghan saw a pale green shadow and breathed a sigh of relief. She had found Madam Yingyue. Thank goodness, she thought she had changed into black clothes.
Ji Xinghan carried the Tranquilizing Lantern and slowly approached.
"Who!" Madam Yingyue turned around abruptly.
He and Ji Xinghan locked eyes.
However, after only a few hours, her face was even paler, her eyes were faintly bloodshot, and she looked exhausted.
Exhausted yet harboring suppressed anger.
She got angry: "Who let you come?"
Ji Xinghan had already turned on the Tranquilizing Lamp, and moved closer, trying to let the light shine on his wife. He said gently, "Madam, I've cleaned the courtyard in the Valley of Heartbreak. Would you like to go back?"
Lady Yingyue's face was icy cold: "No!"
Ji Xinghan breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they could talk. She was afraid that the madam would just fly her away.
Now, what she needs to do is get the lady back to the Valley of Heartbreak.
We can't stay here forever. In just a short while, the lady's complexion has deteriorated so much, and she has suddenly become much more aggressive.
If it goes on any longer, communication will become even more difficult.
From the Forest of Disappointment to the Lake of Broken Hearts, and then to the River of Delusion and the Valley of Heartbreak, Lady Yingyue's temper grew increasingly worse, and the virus she spread became more and more potent. She intuitively felt that this was a gradual process.
Now that the lady has arrived at the Heart-Slaying Pavilion, it is impossible to get her to return to the Heartbreak Lake of the Despair Forest immediately. At most, she can be sent back to the Valley of Heartbreak.
This is why Ji Xinghan was tidying up the courtyard of the Valley of Heartbreak just now.
She looked at Madam Yingyue, then at the Tranquilizing Lamp, praying that it would work quickly.
Now, she dared not speak carelessly, for fear of angering the madam. So, after thinking for a moment, she carefully said, "Madam, what would you like to eat? I'll make it."
Lady Yingyue sneered, "What is your purpose?"
Ji Xinghan had no choice but to say, "I have no ulterior motive. Someone asked me to tell you that sometimes what others tell you may not be true. No matter what it is, you have to see it with your own eyes."
She was speaking vaguely, alluding to the letter the lady had received.
Madam Yingyue was taken aback, and then looked at Ji Xinghan carefully: "Whether it's true or not, I don't care. Anyway... hehe, I don't like him either!"
Ji Xinghan's heart skipped a beat. Him? Was he referring to Master Chongyue?
She tried to slow down the conversation so that the calming lamp could take effect, deliberately pausing for a moment and appearing slow to react.
After a long pause, seeing that Madam Yingyue remained silent, he finally said, "Then you like it..."
Lady Yingyue's expression suddenly changed: "Who told you to talk nonsense?"
Ji Xinghan observed carefully and found that after a while, the lady's face had regained a little color.
At this moment, Lady Yingyue pressed her forehead, took a deep breath, and murmured, "Where is this fragrance coming from? It seems familiar."
She looked around.
Ji Xinghan took two more steps closer, and Madam Yingyue pointed: "Stop, you stand there!"
She pressed her forehead again, sighed, and sat down at the table.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, a slightly stronger wind, and the flowers on the vines fell one after another, then swirled and flew away not far away.
Then, blown by the wind, it flew even further.
The calming lamp suddenly dimmed, and Ji Xinghan shuddered, sensing a bone-chilling cold.
What happened?
She instinctively blocked out the light.
The light from the Tranquility Lamp suddenly brightened, and Ji Xinghan felt his body warm up instantly.
Fortunately, the wind stopped quickly. When Ji Xinghan came to his senses again, Madam Yingyue was already resting her chin on her hand, leaning against the table with her eyes slightly closed, seemingly asleep.
Did he just fall asleep like that?
Ji Xinghan was unsure whether he should wake his wife to continue the conversation.
She glanced at Ningxin Lamp, then quietly took a few steps closer and went to the lady's side.
She observed Lady Yingyue and saw that her complexion was getting better and better, which finally put her at ease. This meant that the Tranquilizing Lamp was working.
Suddenly, Qi Xiangxiang messaged me privately: "How are you? Are you still conscious?"
Ji Xinghan replied, "I'm fine, what's wrong?"
Qi Xiangxiang: "Take a look at the survival gossip."
