Chapter 431 Who is her husband?
After Qiu Ziyue took the old man's medicine, she gradually calmed down, but her face still looked haggard.
Qi Yuxuan and Li Cunxu stood guard to the side, their expressions tense and anxious.
A little while later, Qiu Langyu arrived and revealed the old man's origins.
It turns out that the old man was Yun Youzi, a friend of Master Qiu Tianya. After Qiu Ziyue was poisoned, Qiu Langyu promptly sent a message by carrier pigeon to Chiqing Valley for help.
Worried that he might not be able to get back in time, Qiu Tianya asked Yun Youzi to come and treat him first.
After Yun Youzi gave Qiu Ziyue the medicine, Qiu Ziyue gradually calmed down.
Yunyouzi stroked his beard and said:
"Although the poison has been suppressed, it has not been completely eliminated. This poison is called 'One-Month Soul-Severing Pill,' and its toxicity is extremely potent."
If an antidote is not found within a month, it will erode the body's meridians, ultimately leading to the loss of life.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan abruptly stood up.
"What? What should we do now?"
His voice trembled slightly, clearly showing his deep concern for Qiu Ziyue's safety.
"Don't rush."
Yun Youzi waved his hand and continued,
"I've heard of a spiritual medicine called 'Nine Immortal Jade Lotus,' which, while not a complete antidote, can alleviate the effects of the medicine."
Li Cunxu frowned and asked:
"In that case, we must find this medicine!"
Yun Youzi sighed, his gaze lingering on the two of them.
“The ‘Netherworld Snow Ridge’ where the Nine Immortal Jade Lotus is located not only has a harsh climate, but is also guarded by many ferocious beasts. One could lose one’s life if one is not careful.”
Qi Yuxuan answered without hesitation:
"I'll do it! No matter what, I have to save Ziyue!"
He clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming with determination.
Li Cunxu hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice:
"What if... what if we both went?"
Yun Youzi shook his head.
“No. Although this girl is stable for now, things could change at any time. Someone must stay here to watch over her and ensure her safety.”
Looking at Qi Yuxuan's appearance, Yun Youzi said, "I can only alleviate the poison for this girl, but a complete cure will require your master to find another method."
Qi Yuxuan gritted his teeth, turned to Yun Youzi and said:
"Senior, please tell me the exact location of the Netherworld Snow Ridge and what I need to be careful about."
Yun Youzi described it in detail and then reminded him:
"The Netherworld Snow Ridge is covered in snow all year round, and the cold is biting. You need to carry Warm Sun Pills with you to resist the cold."
Furthermore, there is a legendary snow demon there, said to guard the Ice Jade Lotus; if discovered, escape would be difficult.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan showed no sign of backing down, leaving only one sentence:
"No matter the cost, I will go!"
However, at this moment, Qiu Ziyue, who was unconscious, suddenly coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back to her.
"Husband"
Qiu Ziyue grabbed Qi Yuxuan's sleeve:
“I dote on my husband, Qiu Ziyue, and I can’t let you… take risks. Don’t go.”
"No, Twilight Sparkle,"
At this moment, Qi Yuxuan squatted down, gently held her hand, and murmured to himself:
"My wife, you must hold on... I will definitely bring back the Nine Immortal Jade Lotus!"
“No, my husband, you…don’t go, I won’t allow you to go, if you go I will…kill myself right now,” Qiu Ziyue said weakly.
"No, my wife, you can't!"
……
The two whispered sweet nothings in the room, but it also made them seem too clingy.
Li Cunxu said jealously:
"Yu Xuan, you go quickly, I'll take care of Zi Yue here."
Qi Yuxuan got up to leave.
Qiu Ziyue said:
“Husband, there’s no need to look anymore. Tao Ling’er gave it to me… that one is the Nine Immortal Jade Lotus. She told me about it.”
"Yes, my wife, really? That's wonderful!"
Qi Yuxuan was happy.
After saying that, Qiu Ziyue took out a small iron box from under her pillow.
Qi Yuxuan took it, opened it, and showed it to Yun Youzi. Yun Youzi said that it was indeed this item.
Li Cunxu's face showed a hint of relief, followed by a sour feeling:
"Ziyue, if you had something to say, you should have said so earlier. Why are you being so indecisive?"
You two said so many cheesy lovey-dovey things just to annoy me, didn't you?"
Qiu Ziyue smiled faintly on her pale and weak face:
“Cunxu, thank you for your hard work... I didn’t mean to upset you.”
“It’s not hard at all, Ziyue, as long as you get better,” Li Cunxu muttered.
At this moment, Yun Youzi took out a silver needle from his bosom and handed it to Li Cunxu.
"This is a life-extending needle. Every day after Qiu girl finishes drinking the Nine Immortal Jade Lotus Soup, every three incense sticks' worth of time..."
Then, acupuncture points were inserted into Qiu Ziyue's acupoints to slow the spread of the toxin.
Li Cunxu solemnly accepted the silver needles and nodded.
"Don't worry, Senior Yun. But may I ask if I can take a look at my princess's eyes?"
Yun Youzi had just heard Qi Yuxuan call Qiu Ziyue "wife," and now he heard Li Cunxu call Qiu Ziyue "princess."
He was somewhat puzzled:
"Which one of you is Qiu's husband?"
"I'm"
"I'm"
The two of them spoke at once.
Qiu Langyu explained to Yun Youzi from the side:
"Senior Yun, both of them are my junior sister's husbands."
"Oh, this is the first time I've heard of this,"
Yun Youzi pondered for a moment, stroked his beard, and then silently showed Qiu Ziyue his eyes.
"Thankfully, Qiu's eyes received timely treatment and are gradually improving. She should continue with acupuncture treatment."
After finishing his words, Yun Youzi took his leave.
Late at night, inside the Prince of Jin's residence, candlelight flickered, and the atmosphere was so tense it was suffocating.
At that moment, a guard rushed in, bringing news that shocked everyone—
The Cloud Inn was turned upside down by the Crimson Flame Lion and the Silver Needle Poison Hand.
The two men were highly skilled in martial arts. They not only repelled the surrounding soldiers but also unleashed a raging fire, turning the entire inn into a sea of flames.
"Prince Jin, what should we do?"
A general asked anxiously, his voice filled with deep helplessness.
The flames reflected on his face, making him appear exceptionally pale and weak.
Li Cunxu frowned, his gaze sweeping over the crowd like a knife.
"They are too rampant! If we let them escape, they will surely cause endless trouble in the future!"
He slammed his hand on the table.
"I need to look after the princess, but the situation is critical. Who can go and capture these two villains?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Leng Feng stepped forward.
His figure stood straight as a pine tree, and his eyes burned with a resolute flame.
"Prince Jin, I, Leng, am willing to go!"
He said in a deep voice, "Although those two are exceptionally strong, I am proficient in the Five-Star Shield Technique, which may allow me to withstand some of their attacks."
Qiu Langyu then stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Leng Feng.
“Since Brother Leng has this intention, I cannot fall behind! Prince Jin, let us go together!”
His tone was firm and powerful, showing no fear whatsoever.
Li Cunxu gazed at the two men, feeling both gratified and worried.
He knew that Leng Feng and Qiu Langyu were both top experts, but the enemy they were about to face was no ordinary person.
Especially the Crimson Flame Lion, it is said that wherever its palm strikes reach, grass and trees are burned;
The Silver Needle Poison Hand technique is known for its insidious and treacherous nature, often taking lives with a single, deadly shot.
"Ok."
Li Cunxu finally nodded, but his voice carried a hint of heaviness.
"My two brothers, please be careful! Remember, act according to circumstances, and retreat if necessary. Do not linger in battle!"
"it is good!"
Leng Feng and Qiu Langyu responded in unison, then turned and strode towards the door.
The night was as dark as ink, the cold wind howled, and the distant sky was dyed blood red by the raging fire.
Leng Feng and Qiu Langyu hurried to Yunlai Inn, the air thick with a nauseating smell of burning.
Many fallen soldiers lay scattered across the street, their blood staining the cold bluestone slabs.
"It seems that the other party is indeed not easy to deal with."
Qiu Langyu said in a low voice, his gaze falling on the soldiers who had died tragically, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.
