Chapter 128: Fight of Four
Since she came back, she has been in a daze and groggy state for several days.
She often dared not close her eyes to fall asleep, and sometimes had nightmares when she fell asleep.
Mu Jin and Zhu Xing didn't know what happened to Jiao Ran.
Once she even fell asleep for a long time until Mu Jin woke her up.
The first thing she said when she woke up was, "Who am I?"
Zhuxing was also a little helpless on the side, "Of course you are Jiaoran."
Jiaoran nodded, nodding dully over and over again, repeating, "Of course it's Jiaoran, of course it's Jiaoran."
When she woke up next time, she would ask the same question again.
The phoenix chick shocked her soul. She was just a mortal. While awakening the memories of that life, the memories of other reincarnations also flooded into her mind from time to time.
Sometimes she was a child, drowned in a swamp.
Sometimes she dreamed that she was a servant who had an affair with a concubine and was beaten to death by her master.
Sometimes she dreamed that she was very old, sitting on the doorstep, watching the sunset, and then she slowly leaned against the door and closed her eyes.
Those memories were so real, she felt as if they had happened only yesterday. Life is full of disappointments, and satisfaction is rare. Most of the time, painful memories flooded into her mind.
She couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams anymore.
Nor can one distinguish between the present life and past lives.
The memories that were erased on the Naihe Bridge were brought back to her by someone, just like a teacup already filled with one kind of tea, and a hand reached out to add more water, and the tea added was another kind of tea, and they mixed together, making it impossible to tell the original taste.
Zhuxing secretly gathered Chai Che and Mu Jin together, and tried not to wake her up when she was asleep. She couldn't sleep well at all now, and was haunted by nightmares and couldn't break free.
"We must leave this damn place as soon as possible. Maybe she will feel better after leaving here." Zhuxing said.
Chai Che wanted to tell his wife that he was going to persuade his brother to go back with him, but he couldn't open his mouth because he could also sense that Chai Lie didn't want to go back with him.
Mu Jin also agreed with Zhuxing's statement, "Jiaoran hasn't been quite right since she came back. No matter what I asked her, she wouldn't say anything. The last time she woke up, I was dazed with my back to her. When I turned around, she suddenly called me Meng Xue. I said she was confused from sleep, but she kept saying that I was her."
Zhuxing asked, "Could it be some kind of soul separation syndrome?"
Chai Che said, "In my opinion, it must be the work of Phoenix Young. He has always been cunning and scheming. He drove Jiao Ran crazy, so no one is chasing him anymore and treating him as an enemy."
Zhuxing sighed, "Even if he did it, what can you do? Even if the three of us were combined, I'm afraid we wouldn't be his match."
As he was speaking, a small yellow and black insect with bright colors crawled out from the stone wall above his head.
The three of them were concentrating on discussing this matter and no one noticed.
Just as the little bug was about to land on Zhuxing's back of the hand, a silver needle came through the air.
"Who!" Chai Che twisted the silver needle in the air with his two fingers, and saw a flying insect piercing the silver needle.
Cha Che immediately realized that it was poisonous and threw the needle away.
But it was too late, and a section of his index finger immediately turned black.
"Get out!"
Cha Che was furious.
Zhuxing said, "Be quiet, don't wake her up."
Chache's face froze, and he waved his hand in front of his wife. "I'm poisoned, how come you don't care about me at all?"
Zhuxing said calmly, "Brother, please give us the antidote."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bu Yue came out.
He casually tossed a bottle of antidote to Chai Che and said, "Apply it on your fingers. It will be cured in one stick of incense."
Seeing him appear here, Chai Che asked cautiously, "Is this poisonous insect from Xu Mengchou?"
The woman mentioned came out gracefully, and greeted them with a smile through gritted teeth.
"Morning...oh, no, afternoon...uh, maybe night, good evening." It was impossible to tell day from night in the underground palace, and she really couldn't think of how to greet him for a moment.
Chai Che, Mu Jin and others had long discovered that there were many poisonous insects in the underground palace. They had only guessed at first, but now that she showed up, they were sure it was her.
"Where is the Holy Witch?" Mu Jin asked. Maybe the Holy Witch could help take a look at Jiaoran's illness.
Xu Mengchou spread his hands and said, "Dead."
"Dead?" Zhuxing saw that her face was calm and she didn't look sad at all.
"Then you should be looking for the enemy who killed the Holy Witch. Why are you here?" Zhuxing said.
Xu Mengchou disagreed and was a little annoyed, "I killed him, why would I look for an enemy?"
The three of them were silent, and no one said a word.
Bu Yue walked over and put the medicine bottle in Zhu Xing's hand, "You are poisoned, take this as soon as possible."
Zhuxing looked at his palm and found that it was not black, so he returned the medicine to him and said, "No need, I'm fine." He turned his head to look at Chai Che's fingers and saw that they had returned to normal after applying the medicine.
Seeing that she was disobedient, Bu Yue really wanted to pry open her mouth and force the medicine into her mouth. "The Golden Fairy has poisonous powder on her body. If it flies over your head, you will be poisoned."
Zhuxing hadn't expected this to happen. After hearing this, he raised his head and drank the bottle of medicine. He thought of Mu Jin, "Is Senior Brother still alive? Has Mu Jin been poisoned?"
He glanced at Mu Jin and asked, "What does it have to do with me?"
Zhuxing was anxious, "You guys put the poison there, shouldn't you take the initiative to take out the antidote?"
Bu Yue said, "The Golden Immortal is still so far away from him, how could he be poisoned? Among you, he is the furthest away."
Xu Mengchou's long hair fluttered in the wind due to the condensation of her true energy. She remembered that Bu Yue had just walked over and grabbed Zhuxing's hand. She was so angry that she wanted to slap Zhuxing, the shameless bitch, to death with a palm.
Even though she is married, she still seduces other men in such a wanton way.
Mu Jin looked over and found that something was wrong with them. "If you have anything to say, you should talk it out. But Jiaoran is still sleeping. Why don't you go further away and find a place in another stone chamber to have a good talk?"
After saying that, he returned to the bedside, dipped a handkerchief in water and carefully wiped the cold sweat from Jiaoran's forehead.
The four of them looked at each other and moved to a stone hall farther away in tacit understanding.
Chai Che always stood beside Zhuxing, separating her from Xu Mengchou and Bu Yue, as if protecting her.
He turned his head to look at the confusion on Zhuxing's face. She would only be so absent-minded when she saw Bu Yue. Chai Che felt a little uncomfortable. Of course he knew that Zhuxing was his wife, but whenever Bu Yue appeared, Zhuxing would always act a little strange and not as calm as usual.
Xu Mengchou became furious as soon as she stood firm. When Zhuxing's hand was held in Bu Yue's palm, she was so angry that she wanted to cut off Zhuxing's wrist.
Cha Che took another step forward, standing between her and Zhuxing, and said coldly, "Don't look at her like that."
Xu Mengchou chuckled a few times, "Second Master Chai is truly devoted. His wife is being affectionate with her former lover right in front of you, and you don't mind at all. I admire you so much."
Cha Che's hand holding the sword slowly tightened.
Zhuxing noticed her husband's anger and suddenly looked up and said, "We all know exactly what happened just now. Why did he come to us and give us the antidote? Doesn't Miss Xumengqiu know this? It was you who wanted the poisonous insect to bite us, right?"
Xu Mengchou was heartbroken, hatred bursting out, "So what? I just want to poison you to death!"
Bu Yue, who remained silent the entire time, looked very unhappy.
Xu Mengchou insisted on making a promise from him, "Didn't you promise me that you would never get close to her again?"
Bu Yue said, "If you hadn't pressed me so hard, how could I appear in front of them?"
Xu Mengchou didn't feel he was wrong. "You broke your promise first. Weren't you the one who always kept your eyes on her in the dark?"
Zhuxing really didn't realize that Bu Yue and Xu Mengchou were already nearby.
Chaiche glanced at her, and Zhuxing hurriedly whispered, "You didn't notice it, how could I have noticed it?"
Cha Che said to the two people who were not willing to give in, "We have been entangled in this matter for too long. Why not take advantage of today when we are all gathered together to make things clear."
"Speak clearly, there is no point in saying anything. You'd better keep an eye on your woman."
Zhuxing refused to acknowledge him. "I haven't seen Senior Brother Buyue for a long time, and I've severed all ties with him. The only relationship we have left is that of senior brothers and sisters."
Bu Yue lowered his head and the expression on his face could not be seen. Among the four people, he was the one who spoke the least, and he was usually the one who talked the most. On the contrary, Chai Che, who was always silent, gradually changed and spoke a lot more than before.
Behind Xu Mengchou was a silent man, and in front of her were two strangers arguing endlessly. She suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, so tired.
I heard a voice behind me, "How long are you going to make this fuss?"
Xu Mengchou immediately collapsed, "I want you to love me again with all your heart, and come back to me without any regrets."
He said, "I'm already by your side, and I've promised not to leave you again. No matter how many times you ask me to promise, I will do it."
Xu Mengchou turned around to hug him, but when he saw Zhuxing, he actually dodged backwards and avoided her hug.
On the other side, Chai Che and Zhu Xing saw this embarrassing scene. One looked up at the sky, and the other looked at the ground, without even looking at each other.
Xu Mengchou's hatred surged even more. "For you, I even betrayed my master. When I killed her, she didn't struggle at all, as if she had known I would do such a treasonous thing. It was all for you, all for you, but why don't you appreciate it?"
Bu Yue retorted, "I never asked you to kill Sheng Wu. She is the person who loves you the most in the world."
"If I don't kill her, I will never get her power. Without her power, how can I protect you when we return to the Nanzhao people? Do you know how dangerous that is?"
"You were the one who insisted on taking me back to your tribe. I never said I wanted to go."
"But that's my home, I have to go back home."
She became more and more anxious as she spoke. "In order to inherit the seat of the Holy Witch and to protect you, I must kill her. This is how the Holy Witch's power is passed down."
She told the truth not only for Bu Yue, but also for herself.
She held Bu Yue's hand tightly, not allowing him to escape. "I have nothing left but you. If you don't love me anymore, how should I live the rest of my life?"
Bu Yue didn't look at her and said nothing.
She didn't get any sweet words from him, so she turned around and attacked Zhuxing on the side.
Zhuxing was not willing to be outdone, so he stepped forward to fight with her. However, Xu Mengchou, who had absorbed the power of the Holy Witch, was no longer the same person he used to be. With one palm, he knocked Zhuxing back several steps. Chai Che hurriedly reached out and held his wife in his arms. He was still sulking with her just now, and when he was distracted, he almost let this madman hurt her.
Chache protected the person behind him and said, "Don't touch her."
Seeing that Chai Che and Bu Yue were so concerned and considerate of her, and thinking how pitiful she was, Xu Mengchou became even more ruthless, aiming every move at Chai Che's vital points.
The two men fought back and forth, but the Nanzhao Poison Sect was best at using poison, so if they really wanted to compete in martial arts and internal strength, they would be no match for a master like Chai Che.
She was covered in poison, and whenever Chai Che touched her, poisonous smoke would be released. Chai Che seemed to be prepared and would immediately fly away. His speed was so fast that he could even protect his wife behind him while dodging.
The more impatient Xu Mengchou was, the more chaotic his movements became.
Until Chai Che had lost interest, he hit her shoulder with a sword, knocking her to her knees immediately.
Bu Yue originally wanted to see her suffer a little and tell her not to be so reckless and cruel in the future, but when he saw her injured, he hurried forward and drew his sword to fight him.
Chai Che was also angry. Why were Zhuxing's eyes always on him every time he appeared? He had already broken up with her and should have stayed away from her. But he hypocritically wanted to go back to her with words of care, trying to break them up. Damn it.
What a farce.
These two people fought to the death, and neither was inferior to the other.
Zhuxing watched for a while and found that Bu Yue's martial arts had improved a lot in the years since he left. Originally, he was no match for Chai Che, but now he could even fight with Chai Che.
A voice called out from behind Thatcher, "Archer, stop it."
After hearing this, Chai Che and Bu Yue did not stop immediately.
Before they could fight again, Zhuxing stood between them, facing Bu Yue with his arms outstretched.
The meaning is very clear, the person she wants to protect is her husband.
Bu Yue had already been defeated, he knew it clearly.
He turned around and helped up the injured Xu Mengchou, wanting to blame her for her mischief, but when he saw her arms hanging there, unable to swing, he felt very sorry for her.
Xu Mengchou was held by his waist and helped up, "Let's go."
She nodded obediently and never spoke nonsense again.
He also said kindly, "My poisonous insects escaped. It was not my intention. The poison of those poisonous insects can be detoxified with Bai Ri Qing. If you are bitten, use this."
She raised her good hand tremblingly, as a way of admitting her mistake to the other party.
Bu Yue's taut tension relaxed a little, and she finally stopped making such a fuss.
Seeing this, Zhuxing decided to forgive her rudeness and reached out to take the antidote she gave him.
Chai Che was afraid that she would play tricks again, so he held Zhuxing's arm and told her not to come forward.
Zhuxing glanced at Bu Yue and nodded, indicating that she should reconcile with Xu Mengchou.
Zhuxing no longer hesitated and said, "It's okay."
Go forward and take it.
At this moment, Xu Mengchou suddenly slapped Zhuxing on the shoulder, hitting the arm that had been seriously injured before. She immediately fainted from the pain and fell into Chai Che's arms.
Bu Yue was shocked, "You!"
Xu Mengchou said lightly, "He hit my shoulder first. I don't know if my shoulder bone is broken. It hurts a lot too."
Chai Che was furious and was about to attack them with Zhuxing in his arms. Bu Yue looked at her who had fainted and said hurriedly, "In any case, take her back to the doctor first. Her arm was badly injured before. We are all waiting for the reckoning. You should find someone to check her injury first."
Chai Che glared at the person behind Bu Yue, picked up Zhuxing and turned away.
