Yu Qi was slightly taken aback.
He always felt that his young master seemed to have become a different person. Even though he was still weak and sickly, his spirit was much better than before, and his aura had become stronger, making him easy to convince people.
This time he didn't hesitate and nodded emphatically, saying, "Understood!"
After saying that, Yu Qi picked up Chu Jiangli and walked back.
During this time, a red silk ribbon fell from Chu Jiangli's face.
Yu Tang picked up the red silk splattered with blood, his gaze falling on Chu Jiangli's tightly closed eyes, and he sighed softly.
The book states that Chu Jiangli lost his sight in both eyes due to an injury when he was young, and he still cannot see clearly to this day.
Even with eyes wide open, there is only endless darkness.
Therefore, Chu Jiangli simply covered his eyes with a red silk cloth so that others would not see him struggling in the darkness.
However, the fact that Chu Jiangli could cultivate his martial arts to become the best in the world despite his disability is enough to prove just how powerful the martial arts manual he practiced was. And it also reveals just how exceptionally talented he himself was.
"Xiao Jin..." Yu Tang deliberately lagged behind the two people in front of him and asked the system cat following him, "We guessed that these ten worlds were all Wei Yuan's three souls and seven spirits. The first seven worlds represented the seven spirits, which were probably joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire. Now we only have fear and joy left. Which spirit do you think Chu Jiangli is?"
Suddenly being called "Little Jin," the system blinked its cat-like eyes before saying, "[This is so hard to guess!]"
Based on the plot summary, I think he could be considered evil, and his level of killing is comparable to Lu Qingyuan's.
All that's left is fear and joy, and I don't think he experiences either of those.
"Actually, I think so too." Yu Tang asked the system because he couldn't guess it himself, and it turned out the system felt the same way—it couldn't guess it at all.
So it seems we'll have to wait until Chu Jiangli wakes up and we get to know him better before we can figure out his temperament.
Chapter 4
Died for the villain for the sixth time (04)
When Yu Tang and the others returned to their lodgings, Xiao Han's medicine had just been brewed. Holding the tray, she saw Chu Jiangli on Yu Qi's back and frowned in confusion: "Doctor Yu, who did you bring back?"
He placed the medicine on the stone table in the courtyard, then leaned closer to look at Chu Jiangli, his eyes widening in surprise: "What a handsome... man?"
The last two words took a turn. Xiao Han was only thirteen or fourteen years old, a curious age. In his mind, only women could be so beautiful.
But the man Yu Qi was carrying on his back defied his expectations, prompting him to ask, "Could he be a female knight-errant disguised as a man?"
He said, "Looking like this... are you seriously injured?"
"You ask so many questions!" Yu Tang said, laughing and crying at the same time, and tapped the boy on the head, then told him to boil water.
Then he gestured for Yu Qi to bring Chu Jiangli into the house.
After placing the person on the bed, Yu Tang reached out to undress Chu Jiangli, but stopped when he saw Yu Qi still standing beside him.
He coughed lightly and said, "Yu Qi, you can go out first."
"Young Master, I'm worried he might hurt you if he wakes up!"
Yu Tang smiled, looking at Chu Jiangli's face, which was exactly the same as the villains from the previous worlds, his eyes softening.
"Don't worry. He would never hurt me."
Yu Qi watched blankly from the side, but was also affected by the atmosphere between the two. Finally, he nodded, responded, and left.
Yu Tang then took out scissors from the medicine box and cut open Chu Jiangli's clothes, revealing his battered body.
The scars, a mix of old and new, are comparable to those of Shen Yu back then.
Thinking back to the backgrounds of the villains from previous worlds, Yu Tang couldn't help but wonder if Wei Yuan had also experienced similar hardships, which was why he was given his current identity.
After Xiaohan brought the basin of water, Yutang began to carefully clean, apply medicine, and bandage Chu Jiangli's wounds.
Then they administered acupuncture to try to expel the Gu poison from Chu Jiangli's body.
While external injuries are easy to heal, the Heart-Eating Gu is not something to be trifled with.
Yu Tang tried several times, but all attempts failed. In the end, he was so exhausted that he was covered in sweat and had to take two emergency pills to get through it.
During dinner that evening, Yu Qi heard him talk about Chu Jiangli's illness. Seeing his pale face, Yu Qi knew it was because of saving Chu Jiangli, so he said, "Young Master, would you like me to try to use my internal energy to help him expel the Gu poison?"
“No…” Yu Tang shook his head: “There are already several forces clashing within his body. If you add your internal energy, I’m afraid it will not only fail to cure him, but will also cause even greater trouble.”
Back in his room at night, Yu Tang didn't rest. Instead, he started looking through the ancient books and medical books that filled the room.
Because he already knew in his heart how to save Chu Jiangli.
The novel includes this passage, explaining why Yu Tang became Chu Jiangli's ideal woman.
It was because Yu Tang gradually transferred the Gu poison from Chu Jiangli to himself, and then sacrificed his own eyes by exchanging eyes, that Chu Jiangli regained his sight.
Finally, tormented by the Gu poison, he became emaciated and died a tragic death.
But this time, Yu Tang didn't want to follow the plot.
He wanted to find another way to save Chu Jiangli.
In this way, even if you leave in the end, the other person won't feel too guilty.
Yu Tang kept checking until late at night, when the candles were almost burned out, before he realized with disappointment that there was really no other way to save Chu Jiangli except to transfer the Gu poison to himself.
Rubbing his aching temples, Yu Tang felt that his body was about to fall into a coma if he didn't sleep soon, so he had no choice but to get up and come to the bedside.
Seeing Chu Jiangli's furrowed brows, he sighed and reached out to tap the young man's forehead: "Sigh, why wasn't there a better way to save you..."
Before he could finish speaking, his hand tightened, and Yu Tang was startled to find that the person lying on the bed had opened their eyes.
She reached out and grabbed his hand, then before he could react, she pulled him close, hugged him, and then rolled over and pinned him down.
"Meow!" The system was startled too. It jumped onto the bed and pushed Chu Jiangli away with its paw: [Host, what is he trying to do?!]
Yu Tang looked into Chu Jiangli's empty eyes and felt the heat emanating from him.
My heart skipped a beat; I understood.
The plot says that the Love-Eating Gu can cause people to lose their minds, and it was produced by the Hehuan Sect. Considering the evil sect's covetousness towards Chu Jiangli...
So, to put it bluntly, isn't this thing just an X-drug that can devour internal energy?
"He's suffering from a love curse. If it's not relieved, it will probably make his already precarious body even worse."
Yu Tang struggled, but found that his physical strength was far inferior to Chu Jiangli's, and he couldn't break free at all.
Feeling the other person tearing at his clothes and hearing their hot breath, Yu Tang signaled the system to leave: "Xiao Jin, guard the door for me."
He sighed, "Don't disturb Xiaohan and Yuqi. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing."
They've done this many times before, so one more time won't make a difference.
But host, your body...
"It's okay, you won't die."
"Okay." The system considerately activated the pain relief for Yu Tang, then got out of bed listlessly and went to guard the door, leaving only Yu Tang and Chu Jiangli in the room.
The man with the most handsome face had his black hair fall down, brushing against Yu Tang's cheeks and chest.
Because he was disoriented and desperate to escape, his actions were extremely inconsistent with his appearance.
Brutal and barbaric.
The two embraced, feeling the warm blood flowing through their bodies. Although Yu Tang felt no pain, he knew he was definitely injured this time.
Finally, Yu Tang fainted.
The next day, the system had to desperately slap his face with its cat paws to wake him up.
[Host, Xiaohan is knocking on the door, asking when you want to eat breakfast!]
Yu Tang was still in a daze, but he tried to raise his voice to refuse the person outside the door.
He tried to support himself, but lost his balance and fell down.
He fell right onto Chu Jiangli's chest.
The man groaned in his sleep, but did not wake up.
Yu Tang glanced at him and remembered last night. She was instantly filled with shame and hurriedly climbed off him, dressed with difficulty, got out of bed, and, unable to find strength in her legs, used the bed and table edges for support. She rummaged through the drawer for a medicine bottle and swallowed four pills in one go.
Only then did I muster my strength and tidy up the mess on the bed.
After Xiaohan finished eating, Yutang called her over and said she wanted to take a bath. He had a large tub of hot water boiled, and Yuqi was responsible for carrying it in.
Barely managing to conceal her embarrassment, Yu Tang waited until everyone had left before shakily stepping into the huge bathtub.
The soothing hot water soaked his body, making the man, who had finally managed to rest, feel drowsy.
It wasn't until the system noticed that the hot water was almost submerging his head that it realized something was wrong.
He meowed and called out to Yu Tang.
But it was completely useless.
Yu Tang is too tired.
Just when the system was about to despair, a large, bony hand reached into the bathtub and scooped the man, who was almost sinking to the bottom, out of the tub.
With the suffocating sensation gone and the system's call escaping, Yu Tang slowly woke up. She looked up at Chu Jiangli, who was holding her, but her still-unconscious mind couldn't analyze the situation.
He felt that the face in front of him was very familiar, and a name floated through his mind.
Without thinking twice, he followed his heart and spoke to Chu Jiangli.
"Yuan'er, you've arrived."
Chapter 5
Died for the sixth time for the villain (05)
"Cough cough..." As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tang couldn't help but cough, his weak body trembling as he leaned against Chu Jiangli's chest.
Chu Jiangli could not see, but he could feel how thin and weak the body his hands touched was. He could feel the protruding ribs as his fingers moved upwards, rising and falling with each cough.
He had no memory of what happened after he fell off the cliff, only the obscene words and filth that filled his ears before he fell.
Now that the body heat has subsided, that uncontrollable urge has also disappeared.
Although I can still feel pain in my internal organs, I no longer have to fear losing consciousness.
