Здесь любовь стоит триста таэлей

Глава 42

One can almost imagine the cold expression on the face of that ruthless killer. Qianjun rubbed his temples, speechless and choked with emotion.

Mr. Hu looked at her for a long time, then asked in surprise, "Speaking of which, why haven't you been trying to kill yourself lately?" He recalled that when she first woke up and saw his ghostly appearance, she was ready to slit her own throat without saying a word.

Qianjun sighed dejectedly, "What's the point? No matter how I die, you can bring me back to life. What's the point of my efforts?" Besides, she now knew that the pockmarks on her face were caused by the old man's medicine. As long as she was alive, she would stay here.

I'm afraid we won't find an antidote.

Thinking of this, Qianjun let out a breath: "How do you know how to solve Canglan?"

"Hey, because I made that Canglan poison. I made it to counter Xue Ren when we were competing in detoxification. I didn't make many at the time, and I gave the last one to Xia Yue. Who knew he'd leave it to his son, and his son actually used it again..."

He gave it to his beloved. "At this point, Mr. Hu added with a hint of schadenfreude, 'These two are truly cut from the same cloth, two-faced and treacherous.'"

Qianjun nodded in agreement. He then looked at Mr. Hu and asked, "Old man, what kind of medicine are you preparing this time?"

"It was paired with that kid surnamed Xia."

Qianjun yawned: "It's been months, and he still needs medicine? Your medical skills aren't that great."

Mr. Hu chuckled twice, then smiled without saying a word.

---

In Floating Life Valley, there is a spring. The poisonous herb used to make Canglan is planted beside the spring, and the antidote for Canglan is this clear spring.

There was also a newly built thatched hut by the spring.

Yun Chan brought in the medicine and went to the bedside to begin her daily routine of administering it to the person in bed, but the patient was very uncooperative. Yun Chan snapped, "You damn Xia Yi, don't move around!"

"I'm all better now." Xia Yi pushed away the strong, fishy-smelling medicine in front of her with a look of disgust. "Don't give me any more! That old man was just using me as a guinea pig."

"A drug trial?" Yun Chan was taken aback, looking at the medicine in her hand suspiciously. "Really?"

“Really.” Xia Yi said seriously, “He saved us for nothing this time, and he’s very unwilling to accept it.”

"I see." Yun Chan looked down at the bowl, thinking for a long time, then suddenly picked it up and brought it to her lips. "But we owe him a life-saving debt, so it's only right that we test the medicine for him. I'll test this medicine." With that, she pinched her nose and tilted her head back to drink.

.

Xia Yi had only made up the story casually, hoping to fool Yun Chan into not drinking the medicine. She never expected it to have this effect. The medicine tasted bitter, foul, and fishy; she couldn't bear to let Yun Chan suffer like that. Xia Yi quickly snatched it away and gulped it down in no time.

He gulped it down his throat.

The bowl was quickly emptied, and the smell of the medicine made Xia Yi feel nauseous. She leaned over the bed and dry heaved.

Yun Chan took the empty bowl and checked it to make sure not a single drop had spilled before she put one hand on her hip and said, "Hmph, you lied to me. Did you think I didn't know?"

So she did it on purpose? Realizing she'd been tricked, Xia Yi snorted, her face full of displeasure.

"You big liar, you big liar who's always lying!" Yun Chan suddenly started punching and kicking, cursing as she did so. "You're incorrigible! You big liar! I'll teach you to lie to me again... I... Xia Yi, you big bastard... Waaah..."

Before the person being beaten could utter a sound, the person beating them started whimpering. Xia Yi hurriedly and frantically tried to soothe them: "I'm sorry, Xiao Chan, it's all my fault... Ouch... You bit me again?"

Xia Yi stared at Yun Chan speechlessly for a while. When did she develop this habit of biting his left shoulder? He reached out and patted her back: "Xiao Chan, do you want to go to Wangshu City?"

Yun Chan relented, turned her face away, and became even angrier.

Xia Yi was also very unhappy: "Hmph, didn't you say you were going with me? How come you also told that guy surnamed Lou?"

"How did you know?" Yun Chan looked at him with disdain. "Were you already in Fusheng Valley that day? Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?" Growing angrier, she couldn't help but pinch him. "Hmph, you promised to take me there, but you..." She stopped there.

She fell silent as she thought of those unpleasant memories.

Xia Yi knew she was in the wrong, so she coaxed her, "Then I'll take you out of the valley now, and we'll go visit Shuhe."

Hearing this, Yun Chan trembled, as if those terrible nightmares had returned. She immediately hugged him tightly: "No, we won't go out...we'll stay together..."

A sudden pang of pain shot through Xia Yi's heart, and she hugged her back, saying, "But, you have to stay here forever..."

“I’m willing,” Yun Chan interrupted him. “We won’t separate.”

A ripple seemed to spread through her heart, and a smile bloomed in her peach blossom eyes. Xia Yi lowered her face and whispered, "Yes, we won't be apart."

Yun Chan muttered, "Don't lie to me anymore."

"Okay," Xia Yi replied softly, unable to resist cupping her face in his hands. Just as he was about to make the next move, his body suddenly stiffened...

Seeing his expression suddenly turn strange, Yun Chan asked worriedly, "Xia Yi, what's wrong with you?"

“That bowl of medicine…that old man Hu…he actually used me as a test subject.” Xia Yi gritted her teeth, her breathing becoming rapid.

"What?" Yun Chan panicked, suddenly realizing that Xia Yi's body was frighteningly hot. She was even more alarmed. "Why is he so hot? What medicine did he use you to test? Poison?"

"Yes...yes..." Xia Yi blushed, as if she was trying her best to hold back something. She stammered for a long time but couldn't get a clear answer. Suddenly, he pushed her away. "Xiao Chan, go out first. Don't come near me..."

Yun Chan was not about to listen, and anxiously patted his body, asking, "Where exactly is it that doesn't feel well?"

Xia Yi gasped, her expression struggling, her face contorted in pain. He finally grabbed her hand, then abruptly pulled her onto the bed, flipped her over, and pinned her down.

The world spun around her, and all Yun Chan saw was Xia Yi's peach blossom eyes seem to be burning. The intense heat in his eyes locked onto her, as if he wanted to devour her whole. Yun Chan was stunned with fright.

Xia Yi barely managed to regain a sliver of reason and called out to her, "Xiao Chan."

Even her voice was burning hot. Xiao Chan stammered, "W-wh-what? What medicine did you take?"

Not wanting to frighten her, Xia Yi dug her nails into her palms, the pain slightly suppressing the heat within her. He braced himself on the side of the bed with one hand, his other burning palm gently stroking her face: "Do you remember, when we were little, there was one time we didn't argue?"

"Then I patiently played house with you, pretending to be husband and wife. Our parents saw this and arranged our marriage."

Yun Chan's face involuntarily flushed crimson, and she avoided his gaze: "I don't remember."

Xia Yi smiled at her, his eyes radiating intense emotions: "When I was little, my parents taught me that unifying the martial world and eliminating all those who threatened the Xia family was my only important goal. But after that day, marrying Xiao Chan is what truly matters to me."

thing. "

Hearing the suppressed, heavy breathing in his voice, Yun Chan gradually realized what was happening and panicked, "You damned Xia Yi, you..."

"Xiao Chan, we got married a few months ago. We...we..." Reason gradually crumbled, and Xia Yi looked at her, confused and infatuated, "Do you want to?"

Understanding what he meant, Yun Chan blushed crimson, like a boiled shrimp, and stammered even more, "No, no, no, no, no, I don't want to..."

The lingering sound was blocked by the burning kiss, little by little, leaving only intoxicated moans.

In her final moments before falling, Yun Chan couldn't hold back her grief and indignation. "Damn it! I told you I didn't want to, but you wouldn't listen. Then why did you pretend to ask me anything? You big liar!"

The moon gradually rose, reflecting on the spring water and casting a soft shimmer. The bed curtains inside had been drawn sometime earlier, yet they still couldn't conceal the boundless love that overflowed like moonlight.

With the bright moon as our witness, in this life and for all eternity, we will never be apart.

38. A Thousand Pounds Side Story: Flowers Bloom and Trees Flourish

Several pure blue azure grasses were bent by the wind, pressing down to the water's surface and disturbing the pool. Don't forget to bookmark this novel chapter for easy access next time: UC Novel Network://./ Only when the pool's surface was so turbulent that nothing could be reflected did Qianjun dare to open her eyes. Ever since her face was covered in pockmarks, she had never dared to look in a mirror again.

Yun Chan leaned closer to her, examined her carefully for a while, and said with certainty, "Yes, this is the same as the one I was poisoned with back then, and there is an antidote."

"You've won it too?"

"Yeah, the henchmen gave me this..."

"Can you recognize the antidote?"

"It should be possible..."

So the two women sneaked into the room where the medicine was stored, and what they saw shocked them. From the outside it looked like just a small thatched hut, but inside there were thousands upon thousands of bottles and jars piled up.

Qianjun swallowed hard: "This workload is a bit much."

"Let's find them one by one." Yun Chan clenched her fist, cheered herself up, walked to the first shelf closest to the door, picked up a small medicine bottle, opened the cap, and then fell to the ground with a "thud".

Qianjun was taken aback. He rushed forward and shook Yun Chan for a long time, but there was no response. He had no choice but to risk being slapped to death and go find Xia Yi.

"It's just a regular sleeping potion." Xia Yi frowned as she massaged Yun Chan for a couple of minutes. Seeing that Yun Chan slowly woke up, she turned to Qian Jun in an unfriendly tone, "What are you doing here?"

"Find the antidote..." Qianjun shrank back and pointed to his face.

"Why go through all that trouble? I'll just go grab the old man and give him a beating."

"..."

Soon, with Xia Yi's "help," Qian Jun successfully obtained the antidote and immediately began planning to leave the valley. However, leaving the valley also required navigating a formation, which she didn't know how to do. So Yun Chan waved her hand and asked Xia Yi to see her off.

Along the way, amidst the fragrant flowers and singing birds, Qianjun followed a few steps behind Xiayi, keeping a watchful eye on the man walking ahead.

Xia Yi finally felt uneasy under her gaze and turned to glare at her: "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"...I always feel like you might turn around and slap me to death at any moment."

Xia Yi was taken aback, then sneered: "If I wanted to kill you, why would I have saved you in the first place?"
