Chapter 1138 Osmanthus Cake
Kong Chan tried to slow down his breathing frequency so as to reduce the amount of miasma he inhaled.
But doing so can only slow down the speed of poisoning.
If you want to solve the problem fundamentally, you must leave the Ghost Forest.
Once he gets out of the Ghost Forest, he can ask the Great Witch for some elixir to eliminate the poison in his body.
Kong Chanmian suppressed the hatred in his heart and tried to keep himself calm.
“It’s true that I killed Xuanjizi, but do you know why I killed him?
You think your master is a good person, but in fact he is a hypocrite!
Since he was a child, he was very good at pretending to be well-behaved and clever, deliberately trying to please his master so that the master would focus all his attention on him.
And I became a transparent person.
If a senior fellow student didn’t do his homework, the master would specifically call him over and ask him the reason in detail.
If I didn't do my homework, my master would not ask anything and would just tell me to make up my homework, and that was all he said.
If the senior brother gets hurt because of being naughty, the master will personally take care of him, give him medicine, and teach him a lesson not to be naughty again.
I caught a cold and fell ill, but my master didn't even show up and only asked my senior brother to look after me.
The senior brother went down the mountain to carry out the sect's mission and was seriously injured when he came back. The master risked his own skills to heal him.
When I came back from outside with injuries all over my body, my master blamed me for being too cruel and punished me to reflect on my mistakes in seclusion.
You see, although we are both disciples of the same master, my senior brother and I receive completely different treatments.
My senior brother is the apple of my master's eye, but I am just a stubborn rock or weed on the roadside.
Do you think I can not hate you?
After hearing what he said, Xiao Xixi not only did not feel the same way, but instead felt that this man was really seriously ill.
She said hoarsely, "If you feel it's unfair, you can tell your master directly."
He keeps everything to himself and blames others for not understanding him.
Others are not the worms in his stomach, so why should we rack our brains to guess what he is thinking?
Kong Chan sneered: "It's useless. In Master's mind, I am a cruel and ruthless villain. No matter what I say, he won't believe me."
Xiao Xixi was almost pissed off by him.
"You even killed your fellow disciples. Isn't that cruel enough?"
Kong Chan said bitterly, "That's because he wronged me first!"
Xiao Xixi: "How did he do you wrong? Did he dig up your ancestors' graves or kill your parents?"
Kong Chan gritted his teeth and said, "He has done so many things that have wronged me! He first stole Master's attention, then stole the position of the leader of Xuanmen, and finally even stole the woman I love the most!"
Xiao Xixi was speechless.
The first two are fine, but what about the woman I love the most?
Could it be that Kong Chan also likes King Nanyue?
If this is true, then Chu Jian’s biological mother is Queen Nanyue?
But judging from their faces, they are not related by blood at all.
Xiao Xixi was not interested in Kong Chan's past. She wished Kong Chan would die immediately. However, it would take time for the miasma to take effect after entering the body. She also wanted to find out who the woman was who gave birth to Kong Chan's child.
So she asked in a deliberately sarcastic tone.
"My master is such a man that even King Nanyue is in love with him. Why would he compete with you for a woman? Don't flatter yourself."
What Kong Chan hated most in his life was being looked down upon by others.
Hearing what Xiao Xixi said, he became more angry and his face became even gloomier.
"You think I'm lying?"
Xiao Xixi smiled falsely and said, "No, I'm just curious. What kind of fairy could make my master fight with you to such an extent that he would bleed? Could that woman be more beautiful than Queen Nanyue?"
Kong Chan seemed to be recalling something, and there was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, resisted the urge to scratch his itchy skin, and spoke slowly.
"When I left Xuanmen, I had nowhere to go and happened to meet a girl. She was dressed like a young man, but I could tell at first glance that she was actually a woman.
I was injured at the time and lay motionless on the side of the road. Everyone thought I was dead and some even wanted to throw me into the mountains to feed the wolves.
She felt sorry for me and took me home.
Both her parents passed away and she was the only one left at home.
She usually makes a living by collecting herbs in the mountains, and occasionally helps people do some needlework for money.
She used the herbs she had collected to heal my wounds, and my injuries gradually got better.
At that time, the people from Xuanmen were still tracking my whereabouts. I was afraid of being discovered by them, so I planned to kill the girl and leave."
When Xiao Xixi heard this, she couldn't help but curse silently, what a beast.
As soon as Kong Chan saw her expression, he knew she was scolding him.
He went on coldly.
“It rained heavily that day, and the girl went out to the town to sell herbs early in the morning. When she came back, she was soaked.
I was about to kill her when she was not prepared, but at that moment she carefully took out a small cloth bag from her arms.
She was soaked all over, with her hair and clothes still dripping with water, but she protected the small cloth bag very well and it didn't get wet at all.
She opened the small cloth bag, and inside were a few pieces of osmanthus cake.
She told me that this osmanthus cake is a signature dessert from an old shop in the town, and it tastes especially good. She had eaten it once before and had been thinking about it ever since. Today she bought four pieces and wanted to bring them back for me to try.
I asked her where did the money come from?
She said she bought it with the money she earned from sewing.”
When Kong Chan said this, a rare hint of warmth finally appeared in his cold eyes.
The girl had no one to help at home, so she had to do everything by herself. She was busy every day, and when she finished the chores at home, she finally found time to do needlework, it was almost dark.
Her family was too poor to buy lamp oil, so she could only sit by the window and do needlework in the moonlight.
She worked all night to finish the needlework.
As a result, she didn't even have time to rest and went out to the town in the gray sky.
Kong Chan saw all of this.
He knew everything, he just didn't point it out.
The girl held the four pieces of sweet-smelling osmanthus cake in front of him, as if she was presenting a treasure, and she really wanted to get his praise or approval.
Xiao Xixi couldn't help but ask, "She was so good to you, how could you be so cruel as to kill her?"
Kong Chan was silent for a long time before speaking.
"I don't really like sweets, and I especially hate the scent of osmanthus."
But he was still like a possessed man at that time. He reached out and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it into his mouth.
He even responded stupidly.
"It tastes okay."
Then he saw the girl smile happily.
There were four pieces of osmanthus cakes. She was cruel and gave three to Kong Chan, and only ate one herself.
She was very careful when eating, not leaving even a single crumb.
It was as if what you were eating was not an ordinary piece of osmanthus cake, but some kind of delicacies from the mountains and the sea.
…
Good morning everyone!
