"How did my brother's wooden house get destroyed? In the past few days, I have been searching everywhere for you, but I could not find anyone! " The Second Miss seemed to be extremely anxious, "Big brother has gone missing, and this little sister is sick again. This little sister is going crazy from anxiety!"
When Young Master Xiao was mentioned, Qing Ling and I were stunned. Young Master Xiao is already dead, and Supreme Celestial Bai Ze has already gone to experience his fourth mortal tribulation. Can you tell Second Young Miss Xiao about this?
Looking at Qing Ling's ashen face, I knew that he was still feeling guilty about Young Master Xiao's death so I hurriedly interrupted him and asked, "Did you really not see my friend Wu Xie? "He was with your sister before. He was a very handsome young man …"
Second Miss Xiao immediately interrupted me in an unhappy tone, "Young lady, what nonsense are you spouting? My sister is a man of honor. She hasn't left the pavilion yet, so how can she be alone with some beautiful young man? "Don't speak nonsense and ruin my sister's good name!"
Pure name? What was a good name?
I feel that this Second Miss Xiao is a little hateful, but since she has never met Wuxie before, I'm too lazy to bother with her.
Second Young Miss Xiao didn't like me either. She turned her head to look at Qing Ling and said, "Grandmaster Qing Ling, my younger sister is about to die. Please quickly return with me!"
Qing Ling naturally agreed at once and even invited me to go with her to the Xiao family. Second Young Miss Xiao obviously looked unhappy when she saw that I was going as well.
The Xiao family was considered to be a wealthy family in the town. When they saw the big gates and the imposing walls, they knew that it was a rich family.
After we entered the house, Second Miss Xiao led us straight to her sister's room. After passing through three courtyards and a zigzag path, we finally arrived at the depth of the backyard.
Third Young Miss Xiao's room was very elegant, but the smell inside the room wasn't very nice. The fox's sense of smell was quite sharp, upon entering the door, I could smell a rotten stench. Looking at the servants in charge of taking care of Third Young Miss, their faces were all light, and the space between their eyebrows was dark, as though they were invaded by the evil aura. They obviously didn't want to serve the third lady, so when they heard that Qing Ling was a powerful Demon Slaying Master specially invited by the second lady, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Second Miss Xiao dismissed the others and only allowed Qing Ling to see if she was sick. However, I followed her in. Because Qing Ling always said that I was his friend, Second Young Miss Xiao could not say much.
He entered the room and lifted the curtain. As expected, Third Young Miss Xiao was lying on the bed! However, after not seeing her for a few days, she had lost a lot of weight and her appearance was no longer as beautiful as when they first met. His face was golden like paper, his lips were bloodless, and between his brows, there was an obvious black qi. It seemed that he really did have the sign that he had been possessed.
"My sister was bitten on the arm by a demon."
As she said this, Second Miss Xiao raised her sister's hand and pulled her white silk robe down to her wrist. Immediately, an even heavier stench assaulted our senses, and we saw that on Third Miss Xiao's wrist, there was a distinct bite mark. Two deep teeth had been embedded into the flesh of her right arm, making her look extremely sinister. In addition, black blood was continuously oozing out from the bite marks like the wounds on a ghost car. The bleeding could not stop.
I was very surprised. "If we calculate it on time, the attack on Third Miss must have happened a few days ago. Why is it that her wounds can't stop bleeding?"
Second Young Miss Xiao said with worry, "It's precisely because of this wound that many doctors say it cannot be treated."
"Did the third lady say where she was attacked?" asked Qing Ling.
The Second Miss shook her head. "After Third Sister went home, she was always unconscious. Except for saying that she was injured by the monster, she never spoke again."
Qing Ling seemed to be deep in thought. She looked at me with a questioning gaze.
I was stunned by him, slightly puzzled. Why is he looking at me like that? I didn't bite this wound!
When Second Young Miss saw that Qing Ling had remained silent, she anxiously asked, "Master, what poison did my sister suffer? What kind of demon did she suffer from? Look, can you think of anything? "
Qing Ling said, "I would like to discuss this with my friend first. I would like to invite Second Miss to find a few people who are familiar with the terrain. At that time, I'm afraid I will have to make a trip to the South End Mountain!"
Had Qing Ling seen through this matter? I thought to myself. At this moment, Qing Ling gave me a look, and I followed him to the side room to rest.
"I'm going to go behind closed doors to check on Third Miss' condition. Tell everyone to leave, don't disturb me." Qing Ling said.
Second Miss Xiao quickly agreed.
Qing Ling and I were the only ones left in the room. I looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he wanted to say to me.
Earlier, he purposely let Second Young Miss Xiao and the servants of the Xiao family go. It seemed like he had something to discuss.
Qing Ling asked me, "Little fox, what do you think about Third Young Miss Xiao's injuries?"
I shook my head. "It seems like it was bitten by a monster. That monster's teeth should have been poisoned, but it didn't seem to be fatal. Otherwise, it wouldn't have dragged it out to this day."
Qing Ling was silent. Her black eyes stared at me as if she wanted to see a flower from my face.
I raised my hand to touch my cheek and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qing Ling shook his head and nonchalantly replied, "Nothing."
I replied, "Qing Ling seems to be confident." Could it be that you already know the origin of this monster? "
I can tell," he said, "but I'm not quite sure." Actually, before I left for Mount Qiannan, I had happened to flip through the book titled "The Book of Monsters" passed down by my sect. There was a record on it that there was a poisonous spider in the mountain range, its body was as big as a wheel, and its body was covered with beautiful patterns, which were as complex as tapestry, thus giving it the name 'Jin Lun'. Jin Lun's teeth were extremely poisonous, and he enjoyed living in a cave. When he became a Demon Empress, he would often transform into a beautiful young man. When they bite, they cause the wound to darken and bleed profusely. If there is no cure, they will die in seven days.
When I heard this, my hair stood on end. "There's actually such a monster in this world!?" "Oh, a spider the size of a wheel. Just thinking about it makes me feel scared. Could it be that the injuries sustained by Third Young Miss Xiao were caused by a good brocade wheel?"
Qing Ling nodded his head, "I believe she was bitten by that poisonous substance."
"Then do you know how to cure the poison? It's already the fourth day. If we don't hurry up, Third Young Miss Xiao might be in danger! " At the same time, I was very worried about Wu Xie's safety. Previously, he was clearly together with Third Miss Xiao, but now, only Third Miss has escaped. Where did he go?
Qing Ling nodded his head, "You don't have to be so anxious. Since you know that it's Jin Lun's doing, there's naturally a way to resolve it." According to the records in the book, although the golden chakram was poisonous, the silk that it spat out was a cure for this poison. As long as we go to its nest, we will be able to find some of the poison spider's silk and apply it to Third Young Miss Xiao's wounds. Then, we can stop the bleeding and remove the poison from her body. "
I was extremely happy and came to a realisation. "No wonder you wanted Second Young Miss Xiao to find a guide to lead the way for us! "Does Qing Ling already know where to find that Jin Lun?"
