Chapter 93 Chapter 93 The Loss of Fragrance and Jade
The moment Chen Qing jumped into the river without hesitation, hurried footsteps sounded behind her. Chen Qing turned around, looked at Li Daoxuan deeply, and said, "Don't come over, I can swim by myself."
Seeing her taking to the water like a fish in water, Li Daoxuan felt relieved. He couldn't help but curse, "Qiu Ren is obviously capable of bringing it up. Your foot injury hasn't healed yet, so why are you asking for trouble?"
Chen Qing said stubbornly: “I can do it!”
She pursed her lips and swam slowly towards the dying black dragon, bringing her ashore.
Suddenly emerging from the water, Chen Qing's lips turned purple and her body trembled unconsciously, but her consciousness was extremely clear.
Chen Qing pulled out the brocade bag from her waist and took out a talisman from it. She was shaking violently and failed several times. Li Daoxuan just watched her quietly. Every time he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to take action, the image of her saying "I can do it" with a stubborn face would always appear in his mind, so he slowly clenched his sword hand, and finally did not move.
She exhaled a breath of foul air, forced herself to suppress her physical tremors, chanted an incantation, and the talisman paper turned into golden light in her hands and floated in the air. Then the golden light turned into a long thin line, sank into the two parts of Song Yuxi, and sewed her torso together like embroidery thread.
With his torso intact, Song Yuxi can transform into a human form.
Chen Qing didn't care about her cleanliness and simply sat on the ground, saying weakly, "Song Yuxi, do you want to live?"
The little black dragon swung its tail and raised its head with difficulty, still holding a sprig of golden osmanthus in its mouth.
The golden osmanthus flowers on the branches bloomed in clusters, emitting a rich fragrance mixed with a hint of evil.
The golden osmanthus that was licked by the fire should have died, but Song Yuxi fed it with his essence and blood every day, so the golden osmanthus was forced to reverse its fate and burst out with amazing vitality again.
No matter it was struck by lightning or washed by river water, Song Yuxi would protect it firmly.
Realizing that she couldn't speak with something in her mouth, Chen Qing tried to take the golden osmanthus twig out of her mouth, but Song Yuxi whimpered and turned her head away to avoid her hand.
Chen Qing was also tired, so he simply raised his hand and forcefully snatched the golden osmanthus branch away. The black dragon cried out, and Chen Qing said, "Tell me, do you want to live? As long as you say yes, I will immediately break the soul contract between you and the insect mother. That woman is seriously injured and there is no way she can survive. As long as we form a soul contract with the insect mother, we can destroy the insect mother."
"I can save you."
The black dragon's emotions fluctuated. It curled up and whimpered.
"Wu Niang, speak." Shen Qing must have an answer.
The black dragon's body emitted starlight and gradually pieced together into a human shape. Song Yuxi, like Shen Qing, sat on the ground with his body huddled up, his body trembling.
She frowned, her eyes were bloodshot, and she opened her mouth.
Just one glance, and Shen Qing's body was covered with goose bumps, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Song Yuxi's mouth was filled with a mass of white, wriggling things. The worm's body was extremely smooth, but its skin seemed to have infinite tension. It expanded and expanded, firmly clinging to Song Yuxi's upper jaw. The exposed part of the worm's mouth was only the size of a fingernail, but the inside was covered with dense circles of sharp spikes.
The worm's mouth was opening and closing, and it was wriggling, chewing something. When I looked closer, it was a ball of bright red meat.
As the piece of meat was crushed and chewed by the worm's teeth, Song Yuxi's body trembled violently from time to time. Tears welled up in her eyes and blood dripped from her mouth. She spoke with difficulty and incoherently: "I don't want to die——"
Chen Qing's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "I'll release you from the bond! Let's go find that woman right away!"
Song Yuxi rushed over and hugged her tightly, "No, no!" Her words were so unclear that they had to be heard carefully to make them out.
As soon as she got closer, the sound of chewing immediately reached Shen Qing's ears.
Shen Qing looked at her blankly, as if he didn't understand.
Song Yuxi cried, "I haven't lived enough. I don't want to die. I haven't seen the scenery of Yangzhou yet. I've been trapped in Weinan County all my life. I really want to go out and see the world, even if it's just to visit Chang'an City."
But the insect mother woke up too early, really too early.
Shen Qing murmured, "Don't you want to die? I can save you."
Song Yuxi cried, "I can't do this. Tong'er is looking for her mother, You'an. She needs her mother."
Chen Qing still didn't understand. The woman was obviously dying. It was inevitable that the girl named Tong'er would lose her mother. Why did she want to save someone who was supposed to die?
The conditions she offered were so tempting, why would she still want to die for an irrelevant person?
Perhaps seeing her confusion, Song Yuxi said, "I owe her this. Alang hurt her, and I can't hurt her again no matter what."
"You'an, I was born weak and should have died young. It was my clansmen who passed on their lifelong cultivation to me and forced me to live longer. That's why I survived and was able to guard Weinan County and the seal."
"Alang accidentally destroyed the seal of the Insect Mother and harmed the people I was protecting. I should have killed him, but I am the least qualified."
"I owe him too much."
The demon clan attaches great importance to cause and effect. Zhou Zhishan went astray because he felt he owed her, and indirectly hurt innocent people because of her. But everything he did turned into material rewards for her. When all this was revealed, Song Yuxi suddenly realized that he had already paid it back a long time ago.
"He became like this because of me."
Chen Qing seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.
She opened her mouth, but for a moment forgot what she wanted to ask. She could only stare blankly at the blood coming out of Song Yuxi's mouth.
So she got angry and wanted to crush the evil insect mother to pieces, but Song Yuxi grabbed her hand to stop her and looked at her earnestly. Shen Qing understood the emotion in her eyes.
Please kill her.
Song Yuxi opened her mouth, and the worm mother had eaten the root of her tongue and was crawling deeper into her throat. Song Yuxi twitched in pain, and her pale face turned purple.
Her mouth was full of blood, unable to swallow or spit it out. Song Yuxi's empty mouth opened and closed, and she said silently: "Help me, please kill me."
Chen Qing raised his hand and drew out a talisman, lowered his eyes and asked her: "I want to know, who are you doing this for?"
Song Yuxi opened his mouth with a relieved smile on his face.
She said silently: "For the responsibility of the clan, for the people, and for Alang."
Chen Qing asked, "What's the matter with Zhou Zhishan?"
Song Yuxi smiled, a tear falling from the corner of her eye. "If he can't survive, I don't want to live either."
She knew that Alang had done a lot of bad things, and the two men in front of her would never let him go, but she had no right to ask her to let Alang go. If you do bad things, you should be punished.
If only she had discovered it earlier, a little earlier, she wouldn't have to be the wife of a county magistrate, and could just be an ordinary couple with him. How wonderful that would be.
Chen Qing lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, and the talisman paper in her hand flew out. Song Yuxi thought that she was finally going to help him end his pain, so he subconsciously hugged Jin Guizhi tightly and closed his eyes. However, the talisman paper just passed through her ear and exploded behind her, instantly dispersing a water demon attracted by Song Yuxi's blood.
Song Yuxi opened his eyes and looked at her, his pupils dilated instantly.
Chen Qing closed her eyes and said, "Wu Niang, I am also a human being. You are a very good person. I can't do anything to you-" Before she finished speaking, she was suddenly thrown over by someone.
There seemed to be a very muffled explosion sound coming from beside him, like a blasting talisman exploding in the water, making a deep muffled sound, and the sound of a body hitting the ground heavily.
Chen Qing opened his eyes blankly and saw Song Yuxi lying lifeless on the ground with half of his shoulder blown off. The demon soul, which was already on the verge of collapse after being struck by the thunder, was instantly shattered into pieces, and along with the shrill screams of the insect mother, it disappeared from the world.
The golden osmanthus branch that she had been guarding tightly was also shattered, and the bright osmanthus flowers were scattered all over the ground, losing their fragrance and beauty.
Shen Qing subconsciously looked at Li Daoxuan, and suddenly an amazing power burst out from her body. She pounced on Li Daoxuan at an extremely fast speed, put her arms around his neck, and hugged him intimately and coquettishly like she used to. The difference was that her expression was full of tension, worry, and a fearless attitude towards death.
And behind her, a short arrow was coming at her at high speed.
Li Daoxuan's breath stagnated for a moment, and then his heartbeat quickened. He gritted his teeth and hugged her to the side. The two of them rolled to the ground. Li Daoxuan used his arms as a human shield to protect Chen Qing. He cursed, "I think you are crazy——"
The person in my arms is always quiet.
The huge panic overturned him in an instant, almost squeezing him to the point of suffocation. Li Daoxuan looked down and saw Chen Qing in his arms, breathing softly with eyes wide open.
Her left shoulder was pierced by a short arrow, and blood spread out, quickly covering his hand. The blood was cold when it left the body, but Li Daoxuan felt it was very hot, so hot that he could hardly hold her shoulder.
Her face was so small that he could cover the back of her head with just one palm. Only then did Li Daoxuan realize that she was too fragile, like a newborn kitten that could be easily crushed to death by anyone. But this frail body could not trap her, and she could always burst out with amazing vitality.
For example, at this moment, Chen Qing's face was wrinkled with pain, but she still had to hold his hand and said, "I can't die. I haven't married you yet. Find a doctor for me quickly."
He was still able to speak, his voice barely strong enough. Li Daoxuan felt a lump in his throat, and he twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Idiot, you're afraid of death and you still want to block the arrow for me."
After saying that, he threw the black sword in his hand back quickly. The Qiu Ren sword pierced through the short arrow shot towards his face. The short arrow broke into two pieces in the air and just brushed past Li Daoxuan's eyes.
Qiu Renjian continued forward and chopped off the hand of the person who attacked him from behind.
"Shen Youan, see? I don't need you. I can solve it." He whispered in Shen Qing's ear.
Chen Qing just smiled and said, "I know, but I am willing to take the blame for you because I care about you." Soon her brows were knitted together in pain.
Lie. Li Daoxuan thought to himself.
With a murderous look in his eyes, he sealed Chen Qing's blood. After the bleeding stopped, he picked up the broken golden osmanthus branch and walked to Zhou Zhishan.
Zhou Zhishan's eyes widened with anger as he stared at him intently, as if he wanted to devour him alive. "You are really lucky. She has the protection of the evil spirits, and you have her protection."
Li Daoxuan said, "Why not see who you killed?"
Zhou Zhishan said: "Ha, what? I killed a demon, who else could it be?"
Li Daoxuan stared at him with almost pity, and in his hand, he suddenly threw a golden osmanthus branch.
When Chenggong saw the hatred on Zhou Zhishan's face turn into fear and horror, Li Daoxuan curled his lips and smiled, with a vengeful pleasure and amusement mixed in his dark pupils.
