Chapter 269 A Hidden Paradise



Immediately afterwards, everyone heard a sound of rocks rubbing together, and the mountain gate slowly opened.

Once inside, you'll find that the scenery inside is completely different from the outside.

Although Tao Yaojun just said that he had not been here for many years, there was indeed no sign of decay or antiquity in this cave; on the contrary, it was bright and clear.

The entire cave was as bright as day, with many exquisite ever-burning palace lanterns hanging from the ceiling, each one like a bright young girl warmly welcoming the guests who entered the cave.

All around, there are various exotic flowers and plants. Although they are of different kinds, they do not look messy when put together. Instead, they have a unique and vibrant feel.

In the center of this cave dwelling is the hot spring.

Before the group even got close, they could see wisps of white mist rising from the spring. As they got a little closer, it felt as if the temperature around them had risen a bit, a warm and gentle warmth that didn't make them feel restless.

However, this is nothing special. Hot springs are not rare, and besides, none of the people present are unsophisticated.

But when they got closer, they couldn't help but marvel at it in their hearts.

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge crystal. It is translucent and has a concave center. The outer edge is a natural shape without any carving, and it also has unique textures.

The inner wall looks incredibly smooth and has a very unique light green color, just like a piece of warm and beautiful jade.

This is the container for holding the hot spring water.

The hot spring water inside the container also looked extraordinary.

Against the backdrop of the unique color of the crystal inner wall, the hot spring water also looks like a shimmering blue-green. Although the water is drawn from elsewhere and does not belong here, it still gives people a natural and vibrant feeling.

The entire hot spring has no trace of human construction; it looks more like a place where some immortal in the heavens bathes.

Now everyone finally understood why Tao Yaojun had been so unwilling in the first place.

"Tao Yao, you're so unfair! How come you've never shown me such a wonderful place before? If I hadn't heard from Yi Yang Shanren that you swindled a lot of rare medicinal herbs from him, I probably wouldn't have known you were hiding such a place!"

As Yan Qianhe spoke, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

Tao Yaojun felt wronged. Although he did not tell others about the hot spring because of his own selfish reasons, he had painstakingly set up this place. As the owner, did he not have the right to keep his private property a secret?

Moreover, isn't there a saying that wealth should not be flaunted and nobility should not be displayed alone?

And even if I wanted to hide it, it's been found out anyway.

"I never imagined that Brother Taoyao would be so refined and elegant. This truly deserves to be called enjoying life to the fullest!"

Liang Xuanjing chimed in from the side.

His tone was clearly excited, and his eyes were shining. Since he came in, his mouth hadn't closed.

This place is truly a scene that should only exist in heaven, and can only be seen a few times in human life.

After hearing Liang Xuanjing's praise, Tao Yaojun felt a little better and stopped paying attention to Yan Qianhe, who was still indignant.

After hearing Liang Xuanjing's words, Li Chang'an couldn't help but think to himself, "No wonder these two get along so well; they're the same kind of people at heart."

Such carefree enjoyment is indeed not something everyone can do.

Then, Li Chang'an looked at the pool of light blue hot spring water and asked thoughtfully, "I wonder how long Zhuque needs to soak in here to see if the poison in his body can be completely cleared?"

To be honest, Li Chang'an was still unsure. Although the hot spring was indeed rare, she still couldn't quite believe that simply soaking in it could completely cure the poison.

In comparison, Li Chang'an was more inclined to believe in the Qiankun Pill, which had the power to turn decay into magic.

Yan Qianhe seemed to understand the meaning behind Li Chang'an's words, and replied calmly, "You can rest assured about that. This hot spring is more like a medicinal bath than a hot spring. Look at the inner wall; the reason it has this color is because it's coated with medicinal herbs. Human skin has countless pores that release evil qi and toxins, and as these pores move in and out, the medicinal liquid can also move in and out. Combining my detoxification pills with this hot spring bath will naturally have a miraculous detoxifying effect."

To be honest, Yan Qianhe is actually quite different from the person she usually is when she's being serious.

At the very least, after her explanation, Li Chang'an's concerns were indeed greatly reduced.

However, the same words can sound different to different people.

Although Tao Yaojun's expression remained calm, he couldn't help but gasp inwardly.

He never expected that Yan Qianhe knew so much about his precious hot spring, and he couldn't understand who had leaked this information.

"So what do we do now?"

Li Chang'an was already somewhat eager to try.

After saying that, she turned her head and glanced at the Suzaku with its eyes closed, and a small sense of expectation and confidence rose in her heart for no reason.

This time, we will definitely be able to save Suzaku!

"Give her the antidote first. After most of the toxins have been expelled, then put her in the hot spring to soak."

No sooner had Yan Qianhe finished speaking than Cang Yun impatiently helped Zhuque to the edge of the hot spring pool.

Then, Yan Qianhe took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out a black pill, and put it into Zhuque's mouth.

At the same time, she lifted Zhuque's chin with one hand and quickly pressed two acupoints on his neck with the other.

Zhuque swallowed the pill after his throat bobbed twice.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Suzaku's reaction.

Time passed second by second, but the person showed no reaction whatsoever, their eyes remained closed, and their face and lips were pale.

Cang Yun couldn't help but feel anxious, and then he couldn't help but ask, "Why...why is there no reaction at all? Is this antidote even working?"

Seeing Cang Yun's increasingly unpleasant expression, Yan Qianhe felt a growing sense of unease.

What exactly happened?
