Chapter 152: Flowers Not Flowers

Chapter 152

Qi Yan Su Luo had just stood up when she suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded.

The scene before her eyes began to spin, as if in a whirlwind.

At the same time, a knocking sound came from the door. "Su Luo, I've brought your medicine," a voice said.

Qi Yan Su Luo quickly returned to bed and lay down.

The door opened, and Zi Tan walked in. Seeing that her blanket was a bit messy, she placed the medicine on a low table and freed up her hands to tidy it.

She said, "Didn't I tell you not to move around? Moving will slow down the healing of your bones."

Qi Yan Su Luo suppressed her astonishment and met Zi Tan's slightly scrutinizing gaze, saying, "I'm sorry, I had a nightmare. In the dream, I couldn't control myself, and my body reacted unconsciously. I'll be more careful in the future."

Zi Tan restrained her sharp aura and said, "I'll feed you the medicine."

Given Qi Yan Su Luo's current physical condition, she couldn't resist, so she drank the medicine. This only made her head spin even more, and her energy noticeably declined.

Before falling asleep, she kept reminding herself that the wooden hut was not safe and she couldn't sleep!

But she couldn't resist the overwhelming drowsiness and sank into slumber.

Zi Tan gently touched Qi Yan Su Luo's face and murmured, "With your company, I am no longer alone."

Late at night, perhaps due to the suggestion before sleep, Qi Yan Su Luo woke up.

She covered her still dizzy head and got off the bed.

She stumbled her way out of the wooden hut, not knowing where she was heading, only moving forward, wanting to get farther away from the hut.

After running for an unknown period of time, Qi Yan Su Luo felt that her body had reached its limit, so she stopped to rest.

Leaning against a tree trunk, she suddenly heard Zi Tan's voice behind her, "Why aren't you leaving? Are you waiting for me?"

The ethereal female voice, like a ghostly presence, instantly startled Qi Yan Su Luo awake.

Without looking back at Zi Tan, she immediately ran!

However, her body was too heavy, and her speed was not fast.

Zi Tan followed behind her unhurriedly, uttering strange words from her mouth.

"Su Luo, you are the only person in over a hundred years to enter Qi Mountain alive."

"I'm thinking that this might be our fate."

"You are a gift from heaven to relieve my hundred years of solitude."

"Don't go, stay with me!"

"Don't worry, I will treat you well, better than anyone in the world."

Zi Tan noticed that Qi Yan Su Luo showed no intention of stopping and her tone grew angry.

"Why are you still running?"

"Is it because I'm not beautiful enough?"

Zi Tan saw the flower-not-flower and panic flashed in her eyes.

She wanted to escape, but Qin Zhao didn't give her the chance.

He walked over and struck her with punches and kicks, mercilessly!

Zi Tan was beaten, spewing blood crazily, and the surrounding illusion realm gradually collapsed.

The darkness dissipated, the clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, and sunlight streamed through the cracks.

Qin Zhao felt the warmth of the sunlight and struck even harder!

Unable to bear it any longer, Zi Tan pleaded, "Please spare me. Although I have feelings for that girl, I haven't harmed her. I even saved her when she was on the verge of death. Please spare my life in consideration of this matter."

Qin Zhao stopped and asked Qi Yan Su Luo, "Is what she said true?"

Qi Yan Su Luo shook her head and said, "She made me drink a strange potion... You don't need to hear the rest."

Without hesitation, Qin Zhao drew out his dagger, swiftly slashing her throat!

Zi Tan made no sound and her life slipped away, her body gradually disintegrating into dust.

Zi Tan's body was also part of the illusion, so the scene wasn't too gory.

Qin Zhao put away the dagger, dusted off his hands, and said to Qi Yan Su Luo, "Let's go, let's leave this place."

Qi Yan Su Luo replied, "Thank you for saving me."

"No need to thank me. After all, you're my girlfriend," Qin Zhao said as he helped Qi Yan Su Luo towards the official road.

They hadn't walked a hundred meters when they saw a small wooden house up ahead.

Out of curiosity, Qin Zhao walked towards it but was stopped by Qi Yan Su Luo. "That's Zi Tan's humble dwelling. There's nothing interesting to see."

Qin Zhao was rebellious and said, "I want to see it anyway."

Ignoring Qi Yan Su Luo's protests, she walked into the wooden house and found it adorned with Buddhist decorations.

In the middle of the house, sitting on a cushion, was an old man with snow-white hair.

Qin Zhao approached him slowly and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"

No matter how many times she asked, there was no response.

And then, the body slumped down.

Qin Zhao checked his condition.

She reached out her hand to his nose and felt no breath.

Qin Zhao never expected that life could be so fragile. The old man was already dead.

Feeling a tinge of sadness, her gaze was suddenly drawn to the belt pattern on the old man's waist!

Qin Zhao had seen this pattern on Zi Tan's waist.

Qin Zhao couldn't help but laugh and cry. She let go of the old man, left the room, and closed the door with a thud!

Seeing Qin Zhao's disappointed expression, Qi Yan Su Luo asked, "What did you see?"
