Chapter 23
Qingheng disappeared without even a trace of his figure. The man supported himself on the branch with one hand and jumped down lightly.
He spat out the grass root in the corner of his mouth, stared in the direction of Qingheng, and spoke softly.
"Mother?"
The corners of his lips curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes: "How interesting, the Immortal King actually has a cub."
He is so curious.
How did the immortal king, who is not allowed to be touched by others, have a child?
Qing Heng was still completely unaware of the curiosity and exploration aroused in the man.
In the naturally created medicine furnace, Qingheng was holding the cub in his arms, his palm against the cub's back, using his internal force to force out the poison from him.
The temperature in the medicine furnace is not low.
All of Mingqiao's clothes were taken off, and she sat naked on Qingheng's chest.
The poison is not easy to force out.
Qingheng was patient and pressed on little by little.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sky changed from light to dark.
Ming Qiao had been dizzy and conscious since he entered the furnace. Now, he opened his eyes in a daze and saw nothing but darkness.
His little head was confused and he thought he was blind.
"Mother."
The confused and frightened cub stretched out his little hands and grabbed around randomly. After grabbing his mother's big hands, he trembled with fear in his baby voice: "Qiao Qiao can't see spicy food! Qiao Qiao can't see spicy food at all!"
Qingheng: "..."
Qingheng was about to comfort him when he found that his child, who couldn't even see his mother, had already started to cry.
"Qiao Qiao will never see her mother again."
Mingqiao is not afraid of becoming a blind little boy, he is only afraid that he will never see his mother again.
In the darkness, the baby looked so pitiful with his chubby face raised and tears streaming down his face.
Qingheng was silent for a few seconds and took out a night-shining pearl from his storage bag.
A huge night-shining pearl was placed in the furnace.
In an instant, the little blind boy regained his sight.
The cub, who had regained his sight, blinked his eyes vigorously. He looked at his mother, then at the night pearl, and finally, he buried his little head in shame.
well.
It’s too early to cry, it’s a bit embarrassing!
Qingheng saw that the tips of his ears were completely red, and he couldn't help but touch his little head.
"Is Qiao Qiao afraid of the dark?"
In order to divert the little guy's attention, Qingheng started chatting with him.
Ming Qiao shook his head, then nodded.
"A little bit scared."
I'm afraid this can be overcome!
Daddy sometimes went out and didn't come back for several days. He stayed at home alone, turned on the light at night, hugged Mimi, and dared to sleep.
"Put this night-light pearl in your storage ring."
Qingheng took out another night pearl. In addition to a big night pearl, he also took out a few small ones for Mingqiao to play with.
Ming Qiao obediently put away the big night pearl and played with the small one in his hand.
"Mother, Zhuzhu is so beautiful."
"Well, if you like, I'll find more for you to play with later."
Qingheng watched him play for a while and didn't force the poison into him all the time.
There is still some residual poison in Mingqiao's body, and this residual poison must be cleared.
But Ming Qiao is too young, and if the poison is forced upon him for too long at one time, his small body might not be able to withstand it.
Seeing that Mingqiao was still playing with the beads, Qingheng reached out and touched his belly.
My stomach is a little flat.
Qingheng has been fasting, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat, but Mingqiao needs to eat.
"Qiao Qiao, I'm going to find you something to eat. Just wait here for me, okay?"
"good."
Mingqiao agreed to his mother's words and sat obediently by the stove waiting for her.
Qingheng looked at him, hesitated for a few seconds, and then stood up and left.
If possible, he would also like to take Ming Qiao with him. But Ming Qiao's current condition is not suitable for activities outside.
After Qingheng left, the furnace suddenly became quiet.
Mingqiao rolled the small beads on the ground and played with himself.
"Zhuzhu is here."
"Zhuzhupaola!"
The little guy lowered his head, talked to himself, and amused himself.
He was playing with his head down, and suddenly, he raised his head.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt like someone was looking at him from above his head!
"Mother?"
The cub raised his little head and shouted.
No one responded to him, and no sound was heard.
Ming Qiao continued to tilt his head back, his expression extremely alert. He asked repeatedly, "Who is it? Who's outside?!"
He asked as he got up from the ground.
It was bright inside the furnace, but the world outside was dark.
Ming Qiao did not go out. He clenched the hard little night pearl in his hand and wanted to throw it out.
But the little night pearl was given to him by his mother, and he couldn't bear to smash it.
After thinking for two seconds, Ming Qiao put away the small night pearl, bent down and picked up a small stone from the ground.
“Swoosh—”
He threw the small stone out.
There were quite a few small stones in the stove. The cautious cub picked up the small stones one by one and threw them out.
He threw it really hard!
Under this rain of stones, Ming Qiao was gasping for breath due to exhaustion.
He was gasping for breath inside, and outside, a man in black who just wanted to take a look at the cub was hit several times by surprise.
He hissed and stepped back a few meters.
I was careless.
He didn't expect that the baby, who was so soft in Qingheng's arms, could have such a fierce side when away from Qingheng.
The man thought about the little face he had just glimpsed. It was true that the pretty little face that looked like a New Year picture doll, the eyebrows and eyes were really similar to Qingheng.
“That’s impossible.”
The man frowned. Even though he saw the little face that looked like Qingheng, he didn't believe that it was Qingheng's child.
He stood there, looking up at the stove, wanting to take another look.
But there were footsteps coming from not far away.
It's Qingheng who's back.
Qingheng didn't bring back much food. He was worried about leaving the baby here alone, so he didn't dare to go too far.
Nearby, he only found some fruits.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, the man jumped onto a tree and hid all his breath.
"Qiao Qiao, I'm back."
"Mom! Hug me!"
"Slow down, why are you sweating? And your face is so red?"
Qingheng returned to the stove and caught the cub that rushed over.
He carefully noticed that the face of the baby in his arms seemed a little unwell.
The cub felt very safe in his mother's arms. He pointed outside with his chubby finger and said, "It seems someone is watching Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao, pick up some rocks and throw them out."
"Did it hit anyone?"
"No."
Ming Qiao recalled the noise just now, shook his head, and said in a soft voice: "I didn't hear any sound."
I didn't hear any sound, nor did I see anyone. Maybe the little guy's feeling was wrong.
Qingheng thought of this, sat down, and fed the washed fruit to the cub.
"Tomorrow during the day, I will grill some meat for you."
"Can mother barbecue?"
“…”
Qingheng choked. He knew how to grill meat, but he wasn't very good at it.
Someone ate his barbecue once, then his face turned black, he held his stomach, and didn't see him for several days.
Thinking of the last barbecue experience, Qingheng was speechless for a moment.
The man who was eavesdropping on the tree nearly fell off the tree when he caught the word "barbecue".
He looked at the stove with a complicated expression for a while, then turned and left.
The next day, early in the morning.
Qingheng stayed with Mingqiao all night without sleeping. He had to check on Mingqiao's condition all the time and couldn't close his eyes at all.
At this moment, he was not sleepy, but a little tired.
The baby who had slept in his arms all night had a rosy face, normal body temperature, and normal breathing and heartbeat.
Seeing that the baby was still not awake, he gently put the baby down and went outside to find food.
As soon as he went out, he saw a roasted rabbit next to the stove. The rabbit's skin was roasted golden and crispy, and the meat inside was tender and delicious.
Next to the roasted rabbit, there was a pot of hot water.
Qing Heng looked at the rabbit and the hot water, paused for a few seconds, and called out expressionlessly: "Wu Ye, come out."
No one came out.
Qingheng touched the skin of the roasted rabbit and it was still warm.
He picked up the roasted rabbit and water, and seeing that no one came out, he simply stopped shouting.
With the delicious barbecue and hot water, Mingqiao's little belly was full.
"Mom, you grill the meat, it's so good!"
Ming Qiao touched his belly and curved his eyes in satisfaction. He praised his mother's cooking skills, and as he praised, he also praised his father.
“As good as the ones Daddy bakes!”
If he hadn't seen his father, he would have thought that the barbecue was grilled by his father!
Because the taste is exactly the same as the one my dad bakes.
Hearing Ming Qiao mention his father, Qing Heng calmly changed the subject: "Besides roasted rabbit, what else do you want to eat?"
"I want some red fruits! And some fish!"
"Okay, red fruits and grilled fish, we Qiao Qiao can have them at noon."
Qingheng repeated the two things that Mingqiao liked to eat, glancing outside vaguely.
It was noon.
Qingheng went out and saw the grilled fish and red fruits.
For two days in a row, Qingheng concentrated on detoxifying his cub, and when it was time for dinner, he would go outside and get ready-made food.
Mingqiao ate delicious meat, a variety of fruits, and fragrant fish soup.
The more he ate, the more confused and surprised his face became.
Why do these meat and fish soup taste exactly like the ones daddy makes!
He wanted to ask his mother who made the meat and soup, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his mother took the conversation away.
He held it in like this for two days. On the evening of the third day, Ming Qiao covered himself with a small blanket and closed his eyes and went to sleep obediently.
He closed his eyes for a moment before Qingheng came out of the furnace.
A few minutes after Qingheng came out of the stove, the cub who was originally sleeping secretly got up and followed his mother.
He is very small and has short legs, so it is a bit difficult for him to keep up with adults.
Fortunately, Qingheng didn't go far.
A few hundred meters away from the furnace, he cut off the top of the tree with one sword, and then stabbed the person who jumped down from the tree with another sword.
"You have been spying on me for so many days, what are your intentions?!"
"What ulterior motives could I have? I just want to learn from you."
Wu Ye jumped down from the tree, dodging Qing Heng's sword while explaining nonchalantly, "We agreed before that we would have a competition to see who wins and who loses."
Qing Heng had indeed agreed to the competition that Wu Ye mentioned once before.
However, Qing Heng glared at him coldly, and continued to question him, "You challenged me to a duel, why didn't you show up?"
Based on Wu Ye's personality, if he wanted to compete with him, he should have shown up long ago.
It has been several days in a row and this person has not shown up at all.
Wu Ye paused for a moment when he was asked.
At this moment, he was almost stabbed through by Qingheng.
"You were so cruel to me, but you were quite gentle to your cub."
Every time Wu Ye and Qing Heng met, Wu Ye was always thinking about fighting with Qing Heng.
He wanted to know whether Immortal Lord Qingheng's sword was as powerful as people said.
However, due to various unexpected events, he and Qingheng never had a proper competition.
This time, when he met Qing Heng, he did not challenge him to a duel right away. The reason was very simple.
He saw Qingheng's cub.
He couldn't help but want to see what was going on between Qingheng and the cub.
After watching for a few days, he knew that Qingheng was forcing the poison out of his cub. At this time, he naturally couldn't let Qingheng abandon his cub and compete with him.
Qingheng also thought of the reason that Wu Ye did not mention.
He stopped his sword and looked straight at Wu Ye's face.
Wu Ye felt a little scared when he was stared at. His originally light voice became tight: "Qing Heng, what are you looking at..."
Why does he feel like it's a bit dangerous?
The look Qingheng gave Wu Ye was indeed unfriendly.
Qingheng interrupted him many times these days, but Mingqiao kept mentioning his father, which made it impossible for Qingheng to ignore him even if he wanted to.
Although the "love letter" that Ming Qiao took out was Wu Ye's letter of appointment to fight
But the daddy that the little guy kept talking about was undoubtedly Wu Ye.
"Whether you are or not, from now on, don't appear in front of me."
Qingheng can allow himself to have another cub in his life.
But he would not allow himself to have another father in the future.
Wu Ye: “?”
Wu Ye was completely confused.
He looked at Qingheng with confusion on his handsome face, wanting Qingheng to explain more clearly.
However, before he could finish his words, a small figure rushed over from a distance.
The author has something to say:
The baby was excited: It’s daddy!
