A hint of anger flashed across Qin Zhiqing's eyes. She could not get rid of the pain due to her lack of understanding of the poison. Yet, Xi Men Rui Xue had the mood to ask him to guess a riddle.
"My apologies, but I am not interested in guessing. Please forgive me." He turned around and walked to the soft couch. Looking at Ruo Ruo, who was still frowning even with her eyes closed, Qin Zhiqing could not relax no matter what.
"You can choose not to guess, but the consequence of not guessing is that the poison cannot be cured. Even deities that descend to the mortal realm cannot cure it. Li Lang, is it not the case as well?" After teasing the two of them, he swept his eyes across everyone in the hall, before shifting his gaze to Zhiruo, "If she wants to live, she has to return to the Fragrant Pavilion first. Otherwise, she'll either die from the poison or from the pain."
"Ximen Ruixue, who do you think made that medicine for the Fragrant Pavilion?" The moment Xi Men Rui Xue said those words, Li Fengyin's expression changed. He looked at Xi Men Rui Xue warily.
"Li Lang Zhong, is this very important?"
Li Feng Yin's figure shifted and instantly appeared in front of Xi Men Rui Xue. Xi Men Rui Xue did not dodge and let Li Feng Yin grab him by his collar. "Tell me, where is Su Ming?"
"About that, you have to ask Xi Men Rui Wu." With a faint smile, Xi Men Rui Xue said: "It is none of my business."
The conversation between Xi Men Rui Xue and Li Fengyin had left Qin Zhiqing confused. He turned around, and when he saw Li Fengyin's face filled with worry, he kindly said, "Li Lang, A Su has been sleeping in the Martial Imperial Manor's icehouse for over a month." He only found out about this recently. If Li Lang Zhong didn't ask about it, if he didn't wholeheartedly want to get rid of the poison in Li Fengyin's body, he wouldn't have said it.
"What?" What did you say? " Li Fengyin's face instantly turned red. He let go of Ximen Ruixue's collar, then rushed in front of Qin Zhiqing and growled. His eyes were not only filled with concern, but also shock.
His expression caused Qin Zhiqing to be stunned. He didn't know what to say at the moment as he was afraid that he would cause unnecessary trouble if he were to say something wrong.
Xi Men Rui Xue walked slowly towards the two of them. When she could see Li Fengyin in front of her, he said in a low voice, "A-Ji is already dead."
"Xi — Men — Rui — Wu, you …" With an angry roar, Li Fengyin's fist landed heavily on the table in front of him. He used all of his strength in this punch, and it actually broke the poor table in two.
Seeing Li Fengyin like this, Qin Zhiqing was getting more and more confused. He didn't understand why this was happening either, could it be that Li Fengyin had some sort of relationship with A-Ji?
"Li Fengyin, do you want to go to the capital? Although A-Ming is dead, her body is still well enough to be left in the ice cellar by third brother. She might be able to come back alive once you make a move, but that's only on your own accord, I have nothing to do with A-Ji, I just need to take Qin Zhiruo away right now." After saying that, he rushed to the soft couch, bent over, and prepared to take Ruo Ruo away.
"Stop." An arm blocked Xi Men Rui Xue's arm in an instant. "You are not allowed to take it away."
"Qin Zhiqing, do you want to see her die with your own eyes?"
"This …" Qin Zhiqing was at a loss for words.
"If that's not the case, then let me take her away. Otherwise, besides pain, she will also die when following you."
"Xi Men Rui Xue, stop pretending to be a good person. Tell me, was the poison in Ruo Ruo's body created by you?"
Qin Zhiqing clenched his fists tightly. He wanted nothing more than to throw a punch at Ximen Ruixue. He hated the girl in front of him a long time ago.
Ruo Ruo's body trembled. She had been feeling depressed about this question for a long time now, so she listened attentively, hoping that the answer given by Xi Men Rui Xue was no. She did not know why, but she still chose to believe that the man who had saved her at the beginning was sincere for her …
There was a moment of silence in the hall. Then, Xi Men Rui Xue asked in a low voice, "So what if it is me?"
"You …" Qin Zhiqing swung his fist over, "Ximen Ruixue, you're so despicable. If you want her, then so be it. Why send her to the Fragrant Pavilion to humiliate her? Ximen Ruixue, what are you planning?"
"Hehe, that's my problem, it has nothing to do with you." "She owes me her life, so as long as she lives, she won't be able to leave my world. I'll do whatever I want to her. Qin Zhiqing, it's none of your business." The domineering declaration didn't have the slightest trace of pity in it. It was as if the time he saved Ruo Ruo was only for the sake of torturing her even more.
"Ximen Ruixue, you are not human." As he suppressed his roars, Qin Zhiqing threw another punch at Xi Men Rui Xue.
In the hall, the two of them were battling very quickly. A green and white figure looked like a brilliant performance to the others, but that one move caused Li Fengyin, who was standing to the side, to tremble with fear. Both of them used deadly moves, and as long as any one of them was hit by the other's move, they could die at any time.
His eyes were red and he ran towards Ruo Ruo as he couldn't take it anymore. He reached out with his hand, and two fingers fell on Ruo Ruo's neck, "Both of you stop, if you don't stop, I'll end her life immediately."
Both of them looked towards Ruo Ruo who was on the soft couch at the same time. At this moment, her life was in Li Fengyin's hands, and if Li Fengyin used even a little bit of strength, Rui Xue and Qin Zhiqing would instantly die.
"Don't... Don't touch her. "
Li Feng smiled faintly, the two fingers on his neck remained still, but at the same time, his other hand quickly moved to Ruo Ruo's chest. Li Feng smiled faintly, the two fingers on his neck remained still, but at the same time, his other hand quickly moved to her chest.
An unending stream of air began to rush into her chest. That stream of air quickly restored her strength. When she thought back to how Xi Men Rui Xue had admitted that he had poisoned her, only pain remained in her heart.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw the three men in front of her, but everyone's heart was a blur in her line of sight.
"Qin Zhiruo, I'll let you choose one of the two before leaving with me. Be careful, you are only allowed to choose one. I will only give you one chance."
She looked at him for a full ten seconds. It was so long that people thought she would never be able to give an answer. However, at this moment, she smiled and said, "Qing Qing."
These two words were her choice. For someone who poisoned her, if she chose to do so, she would be a top rank lunatic among lunatics.
Ximen Ruixue, right now, she only hated him …
This choice made Li Feng move his finger away from Li Feng's neck. "Qin Zhiqing, take her away."
"But …" Qin Zhiqing hesitated, because it was as though the poison in his body had not been dispelled.
"Bring her to the Medicine God Valley ten days later, at that time, if I can get the snow grass, then her poison will be cured. If I can't get it, then I will be useless. In this short period of time, Li Fengyin had already decided to go to the capital. Since he was going there, regardless of whether or not she still had her physical body, he had to find Xi Men Rui to settle the score. Xi Men Rui had promised him that he would take care of him for the rest of his life, but now …
How can I?
As he thought about this, Li Fengyin only felt a stabbing pain in his chest. That pain was definitely not any less than the pain in his heart.
Qin Zhiqing's complexion slightly changed. He then took out the pain-relieving medicine that Hu Lang had given him before. At the same time, he also took out the recommendation letter from Hu Lang, "Li Lang, this is the letter that Hu Lang asked me to pass to you. Also, do you think these painrelieving medicines can be used?"
"I will do my best to cure Miss Qin's poison. If it can be cured, then that is her fortune, and if it cannot be cured, then that has nothing to do with me. As for the painkilling medicine given by the doctor, it's fine if I use it once or twice a day, but it's best not to use it too often, as long as I use it as a reliance. In the future, Miss Qin will not be able to get rid of it, even if it's poison."
Ruo Ruo gritted her teeth all the time listening. Now that she heard Li Fengyin describe the pain-relieving medicine that Hu Lang gave her, she couldn't help but think, "Li Liangzhong, was that medicine made from a capsule after the poppy blossomed?" If that was the case, then she really needed to consume less of that medicine. Otherwise, she would become an ancient drug addict. As for the consequences, she knew better than anyone else that she had received modern education.
Li Fengyin was slightly startled. He didn't think that Ruoruo would understand this, but he still nodded. "What Miss Qin said is right. Most of the ingredients in that medicine are from the opium poppy."
"Heh, I understand. I won't eat too much." He bit his lips as he spoke, but in his heart, he really wanted to take the pill again. Because if he did, he could really stop the pain.
"Ruoruo, how did you know that the medicine was a poppy?" Qin Zhiqing was confused. If she didn't know anything about medicine in the past, even if she lost her memory, she would only be able to remember the past. However, she wouldn't have known so many other things all of a sudden.
Zhiruo shook her head weakly and explained, "Zhiqing, I dreamt of the poppy last night, so I guessed at it. Zhiqing, let's go." Although this explanation was a bit far-fetched, she didn't want anyone to know that she was someone from another world. If the poison in her body could not be cured within ten days, then she would rather die.
"Wait, I still have something to consult with Li Lang Zhong." However, just as she was about to leave, Qin Zhiqing stopped her.
