Chapter 17: The Qi of Chaos
"Poisoned! ……”
Knowing that Chen Lianyue's inability to cultivate Yuan Li was actually because she was poisoned, Mother Liu immediately shouted out in surprise.
"Yes, I guess I got this toxin at a very young age. The toxin gradually spreads throughout her body as Retsuki grows, and it is very difficult to remove it with her.
I have also been researching for several years to find countless exotic herbs, and I have not yet researched a feasible antidote, but I didn't expect that Liyue actually healed on her own. ”
Squinting his eyes and shaking his head, Old Kuang looked at Chen Lianyue.
"Although I haven't figured out the reason yet, I have discovered that there is a very unusual power in Retsuki's body. I tried to test that power by inputting Yuan Force, but I didn't expect that power to swallow my Yuan Force. ”
"Devoured Yuan Force? What kind of power is that, and will it be harmful to Miss? Hearing Elder Kwong's statement, Fluttershy immediately asks worriedly.
Chen Lianyue also frowned when she heard Kuang Lao's words, she always knew that there were two forces in her body that she didn't understand.
Now that the gray gas is gone, it should be the toxin that Elder Kuang said. So what exactly is that white gas left? Although I don't feel any harm to the body of white gas now, but I still help myself detoxify and help improve my internal strength, but I don't know what it is.
"Yes, I suspect that it is because of this power that the toxins in Retsuki's body will be devoured and removed. As far as I know, the power that has this devouring ability is the legendary Chaos Qi. Could it be that the chaotic qi in Lianyue's body is rare for a thousand years? The more he spoke, the more he felt like this, and Kuang Lao's eyes couldn't help but flash with excitement and curiosity.
"Chaos Qi?" Silently repeating Elder Kuang's words, Chen Lianyue felt very puzzled. Where did this chaotic aura come from?
Kuang Lao said that Chen Lianyue did not have this kind of power in her body, that is, this power came with her soul crossing, was it brought by her soul when she traveled through time and space?
"Elder Kuang, will this chaotic qi have any effect on the body?" Mother Liu only cares about Chen Lianyue's body, not to mention that she is still pregnant.
"Mother Liu, don't worry, this chaotic qi is only good for the body, and there is no harm to it. With it, you will be able to cleanse the meridians and cultivate the Yuan Force to get twice the result with half the effort, and you will be superhuman! ”
Nodding with satisfaction, Elder Kuang was still very concerned about Chen Lianyue's cultivation. After all, Liu Jiazhuang was also a famous Yuanli family in the Fenglin Dynasty, and Chen Lianyue, as the only remaining bloodline of the Liu family, would be better if the Liu family could be revitalized.
Knowing that the aura of chaos would be of great benefit to Chen, Mother Liu and Fluttershy are relieved.
After a few more conversations, they heard a voice outside the gate. Fluttershy goes out to take a look, and it turns out that the pillar she had gone out to buy has returned.
The carriage was tied to the stables in the front yard, and the pillar did not have time to unload the purchased things, so he hurried into the backyard.
"Miss, Miss, Chen ......"
When he came to the hall and looked at a few people talking and laughing, the pillar didn't know whether to say it or not.
"Pillar, what's wrong?" Seeing that the pillar wanted to speak and stopped, Chen Lianyue asked strangely.
"Miss, I went to the city to buy today, and I met Chen De, who was in charge of purchasing from the Chen family, in the market, and I heard him say that tomorrow is the engagement gift of the second young lady Chen Lianjiao and the eldest young master of the Liu family, Liu Rufeng."
Some regretted that she was in a hurry to run back to tell the young lady the news, Zhu Zi knew that Chen Lianyue had always loved Liu Rufeng, and she would be sad when she knew the news. It's a pity that he doesn't know that the current Chen Lianyue has no feelings for Liu Rufeng, not to mention that he has seen the ugliness between him and Chen Lianjiao.
"Oh? That's really to congratulate Chen Lianjiao, her long-awaited wish is finally coming true. Smiling sarcastically, Chen Lianyue picked up the cold tonic on the table and took a sip.
It's really a bit bitter! Frowning slightly, Chen Lianyue wanted to put the bowl down, but when she saw Mother Liu, who was staring at her from the side, she had to reluctantly drink the tonic in one gulp.
"Miss, aren't you sad at all? Don't you like Liu Gongzi very much? Handing her a pickled plum, Fluttershy looks at her carefully and asks softly.
Hearing Fluttershy's words, Liyue pauses for a moment before speaking.
"That's all before, and besides, it's not that he has been secretly hooking up with Chen Lianjiao. And the last time he assassinated me, he and Chen Lianjiao did it together, how can I like such a person. ”
"Then this time I didn't follow their wishes, I was really unwilling!" Fluttershy breathes a sigh of relief knowing that she doesn't care about Liu Rufeng anymore, but she also feels a little angry.
"Forget it, don't worry about those things, the two of them won't end well." Waving her hand nonchalantly, Chen Lianyue leaned back on the chair without any image.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Liu's mother and Zhu Zi went out to pack up the items they had purchased, and Kuang Lao also went out to dispense medicine.
He is also as concerned about Chen Lianyue's baby as Liu's mother, and he has to take care of their mother and son's body. The two hit it off, and all kinds of medicinal diets and tonics emerged in an endless stream all day long, and Chen Lianyue, who drank directly, was full of bitterness and pantothenic acid in her stomach.
Chen Lianyue also knew that this body was too bad, so although she had a sad face from drinking tonic all day long, she also persevered. Fortunately, Kuang Lao said that as long as he drank for three months, the fetus would no longer need to drink tonic medicine after sitting firmly.
Today is exactly three months old, and the bowl just now is also the last bowl of tonics, although the medicinal food still needs to be drunk, but Chen Lianyue also feels that she is finally liberated.
Closing her eyes and resting, Chen Lianyue quickly fell asleep. Fluttershy gently covers her with a thin quilt and takes the medicine bowl away.
Early the next morning, the doors of the Chen family's mansion were opened, and the drums and salutes were fired.
The people of good deeds gathered in front of the Chen family, and the three floors inside and the three floors outside watched the excitement. Everyone knows that this is the engagement ceremony of Chen Lianjiao, the second lady of the Chen family, and Liu Rufeng, the eldest son of the Liu family.
There are not a few people from the Yuanli family of Apocalypse City who came to congratulate, although they are all polite and polite on the surface, but there are also many people behind the scenes who are secretly gossiping.
After all, there are also many big Yuanli families who know that the person who originally had a marriage contract with Liu Rufeng was the third lady Chen Lianyue, but now it has suddenly become the second lady Chen Lianjiao.
Although I don't know the specific reason, they are all from big families, and everyone knows that there is a story in it, but they all tacitly ignore the past.
Today, Chen Lianjiao is as beautiful as her name, and what she has been planning for many years has finally come true. Although she has not officially married, she feels that this day will not be too far away, but she has waited for several years without thinking about it, which is also something she did not expect.
