Chapter 725 Reappearance of the Sun
Wan Qingzhou let out a sigh of relief and said, "The entire secret chamber is ingeniously designed. The tomb owner must have been a person of very high status to be able to find such skilled craftsmen. Fortunately, I did some research in this area when I was young and I haven't forgotten these mechanisms and incantations. Otherwise, we might really have been trapped here to death."
Qin Feng greatly admired Wan Qingzhou: "We are very grateful to you today, senior. After we leave, our Shadow Sect will definitely repay you handsomely."
Wan Qingzhou snorted coldly: "Just keep your distance from my daughter."
Qin Feng: "..."
He glanced helplessly at Kong Wange, who coughed lightly and said, "Dad, I've already said that Master Qin didn't mean it that way, so please stop saying these things."
Wan Qingzhou snorted again, but didn't say anything more: "The person who was attending to you can leave now."
Qin Feng nodded, then turned and said, "Get up and pack your things, let's go out of the cave!"
Upon hearing that they could indeed leave the cave, the group of teenagers instantly became excited.
With their backs and legs no longer aching, they pushed and shoved their way out.
On the ground, Tang Zhi's men, exhausted from pushing the coffin, were fast asleep.
They rubbed their eyes and sat up when they heard the noise.
"What's going on?" the bald man asked, still confused.
"You can leave now, hurry up and go!" one of Qin Feng's boys said hurriedly.
"We can...we can get out now?" The bald man jumped up and shoved the people next to him. "Don't sleep anymore, let's go! We can finally leave! Damn it, we're finally getting rid of this hellhole!!"
...
When she saw the first ray of sunlight, Kong Wange felt as if she had been reborn.
He wasn't the only one who felt this way.
When the boys and Tang Zhi's men crawled out of the cave one by one, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they instantly transformed into a group of newly hatched chicks.
Some were so excited that they ran around the cemetery three times before returning, only after they were completely exhausted.
"Dad, I need to go back to Shadow Gate with Master Qin right now. You...would you like to come with us?" Kong Wange looked at Wan Qingzhou and asked cautiously.
Wan Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay."
Tang Zhi's matter is over, and he can now be considered to have no more worries.
Having avenged himself, all that remains in his heart is an endless, unfillable emptiness.
Meeting Kong Wange's cautious gaze, he thought that perhaps he would have to spend the rest of his time making amends to his daughter.
Upon hearing Wan Qingzhou's reply, Kong Wange smiled with relief.
She had few family ties, and if possible, she naturally hoped that Wan Qingzhou could stay by her side.
Kong Wange was anxious to check on Murong Ting's condition. Clutching the secret medicine in her hand, the group returned to the Shadow Gate without stopping.
Returning to the Shadow Gate is like returning home.
After a group of teenagers shed their exhaustion, some washed up, others bandaged their wounds, and then they all went back to their rooms to sleep soundly.
Tang Zhi's men were temporarily settled here, waiting for Kong Wange to come and detoxify them when she had time.
Kong Wange was the only one who couldn't stop.
Upon returning, she first went to check on Murong Ting's condition.
At that moment, Zhou Qiao was feeding Murong Ting medicine as instructed by An Kongwange. Upon seeing her return, she quickly put the medicine aside and asked with a mixture of surprise and worry, "Sister Kong, you're back! How did it go? Did everything go smoothly? Were you injured?!"
"It went smoothly. I got the medicine. I was a little injured, but it's all minor and nothing serious," Kong Wange said with a smile. "Qin Feng is still settling in. Why don't you go and see him?"
Zhou Qiao exclaimed, "Ah! But the medicine hasn't been prepared yet..."
Kong Wange picked up the medicine from the bedside table: "I'll do this."
Zhou Qiao was very worried about Qin Feng, but after hearing Kong Wange's words, she didn't think much of it and said, "Okay, there's another portion of this medicine being decocted on the stove. I'll come back and talk to you later, Sister Kong."
Kong Wange smiled and nodded, "Go quickly."
Zhou Qiao left, and the room became quiet.
Kong Wange put the medicine aside and took Murong Ting's pulse—the result was about what she expected.
They walked for two days, and his condition, stimulated by the strong medicine, neither worsened nor improved.
His face was pale, and his lips were purplish-red.
In just a few days, his cheekbones became prominent, and he exuded a gloomy and listless aura.
Looking at him on the bed now, she had almost forgotten how spirited he had been before.
The medicine she was instructing Zhou Qiao to give him was a potent drug used in an emergency. This medicine could not be taken for a long time, otherwise it would turn into a deadly poison and be extremely harmful to the body.
She took out her secret medicine, slowly exhaled, took his hand, placed it beside her face, and whispered, "Although this trip was dangerous, I still managed to bring the medicine back. Heaven is helping us. Ah Ting, you will definitely get better."
After saying that, she turned and left.
After Zhou Qiao finished chatting with Qin Feng about their temporary reunion, when the two returned to the courtyard where Murong Ting was recuperating, they saw Wan Qingzhou had caught two white mice for her and placed them in front of her. She was holding a small box, looking somewhat uneasy.
"Sister Kong, what are you doing?!" Zhou Qiao asked in surprise.
Kong Wange took a deep breath and said, "I'm not sure if this medicine is real or fake, so I don't dare to give it to A-Ting easily. I want to try it first."
Qin Feng glanced at the white mouse and said, "You're so thoughtful; that's a good idea."
Kong Wange nodded, exhaled, opened the box, took out a small amount of the pills, and put them into the mouths of the two mice.
The four of them immediately stared intently at the two white mice.
A moment later, the two white mice twitched and then stopped moving.
Time seemed to stand still. The four of them looked at each other and remained silent.
Is he... dead?
So, this medicine... is actually poison?!
Kong Wange couldn't describe her feelings at that moment.
It seems that after all the ups and downs, she has become numb and can accept anything.
But something was stuck in her heart, something she couldn't get out of, which forced her eyes to turn red and made her unable to speak.
Did she waste so much energy and time, even nearly losing her life, only to end up with nothing to show for it?
She was not willing to accept it!
Just then, Zhou Qiao suddenly spoke up: "Oh my, Sister Kong, look, isn't this little white mouse moving?!"
Kong Wange was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked at the white mouse that Zhou Qiao was pointing at.
She stared intently at it, and sure enough, after a short while, its leg kicked again.
A moment later, the little white mouse actually stood up, albeit shakily!
As if by some magical spell, after this white mouse stood up, the other white mouse quickly opened its eyes and then stood up as well.
After a while, the two little white mice were able to hop and skip around. They ate leaves and fruit when fed, and they were even more energetic and lively than before!
"Is this... a success?" Zhou Qiao whispered.
