Chapter 180 You Bite, I Bite
Xiao Changheng pursed his lips tightly and shrank back.
"No..." He looked at her with a complicated expression, "I understand that good medicine tastes bitter."
"But this thing in your hand...it's beyond the realm of bitterness..."
He had some doubts that he would be sent away directly by this bowl of stuff.
Yun Qingqing lowered her head and looked at the bowl of "medicinal food" in her hand, which was dark with some purple and green, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes.
"When I was a kid, I took the same medicine when I was sick. Back then..."
Her brows furrowed in confusion.
Who was it?
I remember that when she was a child, she refused to take medicine and threw tantrums, and there was always someone who comforted her in a gentle voice...but I can't remember who that person was.
Since I forgot, I guess it’s not an important thing.
She stopped dwelling on it, thought for a moment, looked him straight in the eyes, and said seriously:
"How about this, you take a sip and I take a sip, so you won't be the only one suffering."
She figured the man had recovered better than expected, so coaxing him to drink half a bowl should be enough.
Xiao Changheng's black eyes widened slightly, and before he had time to think about it, a spoonful of black medicinal soup was already handed to his mouth.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he looked at her deeply, then finally opened his mouth and drank the medicine.
Yun Qingqing did what she said. Seeing that he drank the medicine obediently, she scooped a spoonful and drank it herself.
She couldn't help but frown.
The medicine I took when I was a child didn’t seem to taste this bad.
But her strategy really worked. The two of them took turns drinking, and soon they finished the bowl of medicine.
Yun Qingqing stretched out the hand wearing the ring and clenched her palm.
I opened my palm again and saw two more candies on it.
Xiao Changheng reached out and picked up a candy, looked at her wrinkled little face, and burst out laughing.
"So you also..."
He was halfway through his words when he saw Yun Qingqing's face suddenly change. He threw out a talisman and stuck it on the top of the tent.
A mournful cry was heard outside the tent.
Xiao Changheng's expression became serious:
“Who is it?”
"Stay right here and don't move!"
Yun Qingqing left the tent after saying this and said sternly:
"Get out!"
"Hahaha..." A sinister laugh suddenly echoed from the valley. "I thought he was some powerful figure, but it turns out he's just a little girl with wet pussy!"
Yun Qingqing fixed her gaze in one direction. After a moment, a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe walked out from behind the stone forest. His facial features looked decent, but he had a pair of sinister eyes.
"Originally, I came here just for the Regent, but you look delicious, little girl, hahahaha... It's just your bad luck that you have to be with him!"
Xiao Changheng's heart tightened. He climbed to the entrance of the tent and opened the curtain. He saw the Taoist flicking his whisk, and countless black mists emerged from the whisk, turning into countless ghost shadows rushing towards him.
Suddenly, a strong cold wind blew around, and the shrill cries of ghosts echoed throughout the valley.
Yun Qingqing's face was solemn. She threw her hands and eight talismans flew to eight directions and stopped in the air. She clasped her hands together and the eight talismans immediately emitted golden light.
The ghost that was rushing forward seemed to hit an invisible wall, and there was a crackling sound at the point of impact, and a golden light burst out accompanied by a shrill ghost cry.
The first group of ghosts to be hit were immediately wiped out.
"Eight Yang Ghost Exorcist Talisman Formation?" The Taoist was surprised. He looked at Yun Qingqing with a look that no longer looked down on him. "May I ask, fellow Taoist, where is your master from?"
"Who calls you a fellow Taoist?" Yun Qingqing looked at him coldly. "You're lucky today. Get out of here right now and never show up in front of me again. I can still let you go."
The Taoist's expression froze and he said angrily:
"Little girl, don't be so shameless. The Eight Yang Exorcist Talisman Formation can only block evil spirits. I see you've already exhausted all your strength to hold up this formation! Do you really think I can't tell you're bluffing?"
Xiao Changheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the evil ghost couldn't break through the talisman formation at all, but he frowned again when he heard the conversation between the two.
He looked at Yun Qingqing carefully and found that her hands were trembling slightly as she made hand gestures.
His heart tightened, and he quickly thought about what to do, but Yun Qingqing's low voice rang in his ears:
"Just stay here and don't get in the way."
Xiao Changheng suddenly clenched his fists.
The Taoist sneered and drew out a long sword, saying calmly:
"I'm here only for the Regent. Since you still have some abilities, I won't make things difficult for you today. Please leave immediately!"
Yun Qingqing said nothing, but her expression became more solemn. She sat down cross-legged on the spot, and the hand gestures changed.
The Taoist sneered:
"It seems you won't give up! Then don't blame me for being rude!"
He raised his hand and threw a talisman forward, muttering:
"Zhen, Li, Kan, and Dui support and support the generals, Qian, Kun, Gen, and Xun, the tiger crouches and the dragon soars - break!"
The talisman hit the talisman formation right in front of it, making a sharp "clang" sound.
The talisman formation remained motionless, still steadily blocking and killing the evil spirits.
"What!" the Taoist was surprised.
Blood suddenly flowed from the corner of Yun Qingqing's lips in the center of the formation.
"Qingqing!" Xiao Changheng exclaimed in surprise. He wanted to gather his strength to go over and protect her, but he found that all his internal strength seemed to have disappeared and he couldn't use even a little bit of it.
The Taoist narrowed his eyes, looked at Yun Qingqing, and smiled.
He walked slowly with his sword in hand, passing through the talisman formation unhindered.
"Hehehe...you really are a little girl who is ignorant of the world. You clearly had a chance to escape just now."
"Since you insist on giving me such a generous gift, I won't be polite!"
There was a hint of silver evil in his sinister eyes:
"With such outstanding talent like yours, if you could cultivate it into a ghost pet, it would be simply...tsk tsk tsk!"
The veins on Xiao Changheng's forehead bulged, and he firmly supported himself against the ground, crawling towards Yun Qingqing.
When the Taoist saw him, his smile widened:
"Don't be impatient, Your Highness the Regent! Once I've dealt with her, it will be your turn!"
After saying that, his eyes turned fierce and he raised his sword and stabbed it straight at Yun Qingqing's heart!
Xiao Changheng let out a beast-like growl from his throat, and with his arms he leaped over the last ten feet of ground, knocked Yun Qingqing down, and protected her under him.
Yun Qingqing's eyes were filled with shock, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The eight talismans in the air lost their spiritual support, their luster suddenly disappeared, and they fell to the ground.
The evil spirits rushed in with a roar, but when the Taoist raised his hand, they dared not go beyond him and just stood behind him with their fangs and claws.
He had just thrust his sword into the air but he was not annoyed. Instead, he laughed even more playfully:
"I never thought that the regent with all the power in the world would be willing to die for a woman!"
"Since you are so anxious to die, I will fulfill your wish first!"
He raised his sword and stabbed it straight into Xiao Changheng's back!
Xiao Changheng hugged Yun Qingqing tightly in his arms and closed his eyes.
The expected stinging pain did not come, but the sound of metal clashing rang in my ears, followed by something falling to the ground with a bang, and the Taoist's scream as he quickly walked away.
"What! Hurry, stop it!"
The shrill cries of ghosts continued to be heard behind him, but none of them came close.
Xiao Changheng propped himself up and turned around. When he saw the scene behind him, his eyes widened.
I saw that the Taoist had already hidden several feet away, holding the broken sword in his hand and looking terrified.
A long sword with a green glow was weaving through the dark ghostly energy, and wherever it passed, the evil spirits disappeared in groups.
Seeing that the ghost slaves he had collected and refined with great effort were vulnerable to the magic sword and suffered heavy losses, the Taoist's face changed several times.
He looked at the two of them hatefully, turned around and fled without staying any longer.
Those evil spirits followed the Taoist priest and scattered. He chased and attacked with his long sword and chopped down a few more evil spirits. Then he changed direction and floated back to Yun Qingqing.
A green light flashed, and the long sword shrank into a green hairpin, falling to the ground with a "ding" sound, and then fell silently.
Xiao Changheng recognized the hairpin; it was the one she wore on her head every day.
No wonder she never changes.
Yun Qingqing exhaled slowly and said in a hoarse voice:
"Help me up."
Xiao Changheng came back to his senses, quickly and carefully helped her up, and said worriedly:
"How are you?"
"No problem."
Yun Qingqing picked up the green hairpin and put it back into her hair, then sat cross-legged.
"I need to recuperate for a while. That evil spirit won't dare come back. You can go in and rest."
"I..." Xiao Changheng frowned and was about to say that he was not going anywhere when he was interrupted by a scream.
"Qingqing! What's wrong with you? Why is your spiritual power so chaotic?!"
