Chapter 323: The Pill
In a room on the second floor of an inn on North Street, Xiao Cong was still standing motionless in front of the window, it was the end of the ugly hour in the second half of the night, Yin Nuo hadn't left, he was still sitting on the round stool in front of the table like that, but he didn't drink tea anymore, it was estimated that he was already full, so he looked overenergy, and his eyes were a little wider than usual.
The street outside the window is still noisy, no different from the daytime, what is forgotten in the Valley of Forgotten Life may not only be life and death, there should still be time, so the atmosphere here does not seem to have changed for a moment, but people will be independent of the environment at some times, because people have independence of thoughts and feelings, just like Xiao Cong last night, although he is in this seemingly unchanged place, but his thoughts have not been stagnant for a moment, and it will be dawn in less than two hours, and Hongxiang has not come back.
Yin Nuose shrunk down and sat quietly at the table, tilting his head, his face was loveless and the eyes that were much larger than usual formed a clear contradiction, he was too lazy to talk to Xiao Cong, and even too lazy to turn his head to look at Xiao Cong again, before that, he had asked Xiao Cong why he was so worried about Hongxiang and didn't help him, but Xiao Cong didn't even turn his head, and he didn't answer him, he also asked Xiao Cong several times to allow him to check carefully, but Xiao Cong still didn't say anything, he had always been wooden and direct, and only thought that Xiao Cong didn't say anything to mean that he didn't agree, so he gave up one by one, but where did he know, Xiao Cong just couldn't speakγ
Half an hour later, Xiao Cong finally turned around, breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled slightly, and his eyebrows overflowed with joy that could not be hidden.
"Hongxiang is back. β
Hearing this, Yin Nuo jumped up from the stool suddenly, turned his head and was about to run out of the door, Xiao Cong said:
"What are you doing?"
Yin Nuo's figure was stunned, and he turned his face back,
"Go pick him up. β
Xiao Cong's tone was stern,
"What are you talking about at this time, sit down honestly for me and let him come up by himself!"
Yin Nuo glanced at Xiao Cong, so he had to obediently retreat to the table, slowly sat down on the round stool, and then secretly glanced at Xiao Cong, his eyes were resentful, as if to say - how can you care about your partner and care about the crime.
But the joy on Xiao Cong's face was real in his senses, so he suddenly understood that the person standing in front of the window and facing him was thinking about the overall situation at this time, if he rushed out now to be seen by someone with a heart, then all the efforts that Hongxiang had done tonight would be wasted.
It is said that Xiao Cong knew that Hongxiang returned safely, not because he saw Hongxiang standing in front of the window, but because he sensed Hongxiang's breath in his keen spiritual sense, how familiar he was with Hongxiang's breath, and how powerful his spiritual sense was induction, so his so-called return was actually far away.
After nearly half a pillar of incense, and before Hongxiang came back, Yin Nuo couldn't help but mutter:
"Are you injured, at this speed, I'm afraid it's still ...... hurt"
was looking up, and was met by Xiao Cong's white eyes that he couldn't dislike anymore.
"Tart", "Tart", "Tart", ......
Finally, heavy footsteps came, from far and near, all the way to the door,
After a short pause, the door was gently pushed open, and Hongxiang's slightly clumsy thin figure came into view, and he lowered his head and stepped into the door.
Yin Nuo jumped up from his seat again, but only jumped up, but stared blankly at Hongxiang step by step, not moving, not speaking, he watched Hongxiang walk past him, his lips moved a few times, and swallowed again, and then slowly moved the stool, walked to the door and closed the door gently, then walked to the table again, and sat listlessly on the round stool that had not returned after being removed.
Xiao Cong closed the window and turned around, took a few steps forward and hugged Hongxiang into his arms, Hongxiang did not resist, just let Xiao Cong hold it like this, and continued to lower the head against it, buried deep in Xiao Cong's chest.
After a while, he raised his head, a pair of slightly reddened eyes embedded in a pale little face, but heard him whisper:
"I thought I'd never see my brother again. β
Xiao Cong pursed his lips, looking a little relieved, and like a bitter smile, his eyes overflowed with soft light, and warmly sprinkled in Hongxiang's eyes,
"How come, brother......"
Before Xiao Cong finished speaking, he heard Hongxiang say to himself:
"Brother, I seem to have been exposed, I killed two powerhouses of the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, and I should have used the strength of the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm. β
Hearing this, Yin Nuo raised his face suddenly, thought for a moment, and lowered his head again.
Xiao Cong raised his hand and gently stroked Hongxiang's hair, and said with a warm smile:
"No, you're not exposed, and, you're doing well, really well. β
"Is this also expected by my brother?" asked Hongxiang.
Xiao Cong shook his head with a smile and replied:
"Don't count, it's just that you don't have to worry, no one will disadvantage us because of your mid-stage strength in the Open Realm. β
"Why, can you tell me?" Hongxiang's tone finally rose and fell a little, but his face was still as depressed as before.
"I want to hear it too!" Yin Nuo looked anxious and interjected suddenly.
Xiao Cong smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth hooked a confident arc, he didn't look at Yin Nuo, just looked at Hongxiang, and stroked the latter's hair, and said softly:
"In order to prevent you from being suspicious of luck, I searched for a long time to find that pill, to be honest, the quality of that pill is really not up to the grade, but it has a characteristic that is very suitable for you, for monks below the middle of the Heavenly Realm, it has the effect of improving cultivation for a short time, but for monks above the middle of the Heavenly Realm, it can only increase the benefits of qi and blood vitality, and the smell of the pill is strong, it is very easy to identify, if my guess is correct, you only showed your true cultivation after swallowing the pill, so you can rest assured, no one will doubt you, all of this is logicalγ β
Hongxiang, who was held in Xiao Cong's arms, and Yin Nuo, who was sitting not far away, didn't speak for a long time, maybe they also felt that all this was so well designed, Xiao Cong could do it like a god, so how deep did he know Hongxiang, and for some reason, Yin Nuo's face darkened again, this time he didn't pat himself, and he didn't even say a word of praise from the bottom of his heart-
Although he also admired Xiao Cong from the bottom of his heart, he just lowered his head again, very low, very low.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Cong gently patted Hongxiang's back and said:
"Look at your embarrassment, I guess that battle must be very difficult, after such a tragic battle, you are also tired, go wash well, sleep, and wait for you to rest, come and tell me what happened in that battle, I will help you summarize and refine, this is a rare opportunity for you, but it can't be wasted. β
Hongxiang flattened his mouth, he didn't look happy, he couldn't say he was unhappy, but there seemed to be something inexplicable in his eyes, and he flickered slightly, and he only said "Got it, brother." Then he turned and walked out to the next door.
After Hongxiang left, Yin Nuo stayed in Xiao Cong's room for a while, and the two were silent like this, and finally, Yin Nuo patted his thighs with both hands, stood up, shook his head and laughed a few times, and lamented for no reason:
"Oh, I fucking envy you. β
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't even say goodbye, turned his head and left.
