The man's smiling expression vanished, replaced by a stern face as he coldly said, "Junior sister, you truly have remarkable skills."
Qing Yuzi said without changing her expression, "Hold me."
He Yunxiao was taken aback: "Huh?"
Qingxuzi wouldn't give them that time. He gathered his inner strength and struck out with his palm. But instead of striking Qingyuzi, he struck He Yunxiao!
A Grandmaster can't kill another Grandmaster with a single palm strike, but killing a Grandmaster is more than enough.
Without hesitation, Qing Yuzi pulled He Yunxiao into his arms and took Qing Xuzi's palm strike from behind.
"puff!"
He Yunxiao, nestled in Qingyuzi's arms, had no time to feel the softness of Master Bai. He clearly saw the red spots on Master Bai's plain white veil.
She vomited blood!
He Yunxiao's eyes immediately turned bloodshot. He put one arm around Qing Yuzi's waist and used the other hand to swing the Yan Kingdom warrior's spear, thrusting it straight at Qing Xuzi.
"die!"
Qingxuzi swayed and flew into the sky, creating distance between himself and the two. He Yunxiao's spear missed its mark.
Qing Yuzi was injured and could not reach his maximum speed, so he was unable to create distance between himself and Qing Xuzi.
Fortunately, Xiaoxiao was there to meet us ahead!
He Yunxiao didn't care that Xiaoxiao would see him embracing Qingyuzi, and shouted directly at Xiaoxiao in front of him, "Xiaoxiao, stop him!"
With a soft shout, Xiao Xiao crashed into Qing Xuzi like a meteor.
...
He Yunxiao couldn't bother watching Xiaoxiao and Qingxuzi fight, because he noticed that the bloodstains on Bai Daozhang's white veil were increasing.
"Ahem." Qing Yuzi coughed lightly twice.
"Master! How are you?" He Yunxiao asked anxiously.
Qingyuzi said weakly, "Qingxuzi's move was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision. He probably already prepared to injure me when I made my third move..."
When He Yunxiao saw that things were about to come to a head, this stupid woman still had the time to explain the whole story.
"Master Daoist, please tell me about your physical condition."
"I'm alright, cough cough."
When He Yunxiao saw Qing Yuzi cough up blood again, he was furious. He was visibly seriously injured, yet he still wanted to act like a Taoist priest?
"Smack!"
He Yunxiao slapped Qing Yuzi's pert, soft flesh.
A tingling sensation ran through Qing Yuzi's buttocks, bringing a touch of color back to her pale face, which was already ravaged by her injuries.
"Stop your nonsense, you stupid woman. Tell me what's going on with you right now!"
Qing Yuzi paused for a moment, then finally said, "My body is fine, but my internal energy might... cough cough..."
"Smack!"
He Yunxiao then touched his nominal master's buttocks for the second time.
“Tell me the truth. Don’t try to lie to me.” He spoke in an almost commanding tone.
This time, Qing Yuzi finally admitted honestly, "The best-case scenario is that my power will greatly diminish."
"What's the worst that could happen?" He Yunxiao pressed.
Qing Yuzi spoke softly, afraid of upsetting He Yunxiao and causing Guan'er further suffering. Although she hadn't actually done anything wrong, and had even saved He Yunxiao's life.
“The worst-case scenario is that I don’t have much time left,” she said.
After Qing Yuzi finished speaking, she could clearly feel pain in her lower back. It wasn't that her injury had worsened, but rather that He Yunxiao was holding her waist tightly. It was as if he wanted to meld her into his body.
"How to treat it?" He Yunxiao's question was very brief.
Qingyuzi remained silent.
"How should it be treated?" He Yunxiao asked again.
Qingyuzi remained silent.
"Smack!"
He Yunxiao slapped her on the buttocks. Based on He Yunxiao's understanding of Qing Yuzi, she wasn't silent because she didn't know, but because she knew but didn't want to say it.
"Master, you actually know how to treat this, right?" He Yunxiao asked tentatively.
Qingyuzi remained silent.
Qing Yuzi remained silent, and so did He Yunxiao.
He was carrying his beautiful master in his arms, using his light-footed skills to keep moving forward.
Qing Yuzi finally realized something was wrong, because according to the time calculation, they should have arrived at the military camp long ago after traveling for so long using their light-footed skills.
"Where are you taking me?" Qing Yuzi looked up at He Yunxiao and asked.
Under the moonlight, the bloodstains on her white veil were particularly striking. Moreover, at this moment, she didn't use the overly formal "this way," but rather "I."
"There's a small town about 50 or 60 miles east of the military camp. The water you usually use for bathing comes from there."
What are you going to the small town for?
"You'll know when you get there."
The town wasn't large, but it had many restaurants. This was because the town was originally intended for merchants traveling through the area to stay and rest.
"Waiter, the best room in the restaurant." Without saying a word, He Yunxiao threw down the silver, then picked up Qing Yuzi and headed up to the upper floors of the restaurant.
Although it was the best restaurant and the best room in town, it could only be described as "elegant," and it was still far inferior to the high-end restaurants in Yinjingcheng.
However, at least the soundproofing here is excellent. You don't have to worry about being heard practicing your knife skills at night.
He Yunxiao had originally planned to scout the place out and trick Ruobao, but unexpectedly, Master Bai used him first. Truly, life is unpredictable.
"Why did you bring me here?" Qing Yuzi asked He Yunxiao belatedly after they arrived at their destination.
He Yunxiao let her lean against the edge of the bed, and as for the straw hat that was in the way, he took it off and put it on the table when they got to the room.
He Yunxiao stared unabashedly at Qing Yuzi's pale yet exquisite face and slowly explained, "Miss Bai has mentioned the importance of the Soul-Devouring Pill several times. Just now, I asked you what method you had to treat your serious injuries, but you hesitated to answer. I suppose that method is the Soul-Devouring Pill?"
"You've already eaten the Soul-Devouring Pill; it can't save me now."
“If you really couldn’t save her, you would have said so earlier instead of remaining silent.”
