Chapter Twenty-Three: Because of Me [First Update]
My mind was in a mess, and I was unconscious.
Yi Qian was half asleep and half awake, as if he was still fighting with the ugly demon, as if he had gone back in time, as if Xiao Wu was still by his side...
"Xiao Wu!!"
He snapped open his eyes, gasping violently.
The unfamiliar roof with elegant lines appeared in the field of vision, and Yi Qian was stunned for a moment.
"I... Where?"
He tried to get up, but it was as if he was wrapped in a thin, solid layer of something on the bed, unable to move.
"Ahh
There was a crisp exclamation from beside him, and then the small face of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl came into view, and she looked smart and lovely, and she should be a maid in her outfit.
"Where am I? Who are you?"
Yi Qian's body couldn't move, he spoke very fluently, and his dry throat was rapidly returning to normal.
"My name is Xiaolan~ I am Miss He's personal maid~" The little girl smiled sweetly and said, "You are in the boudoir of Miss Zhuang He of the Taoxi faction~"
"Oh..."Yi Qian responded, and immediately realized that something was wrong!
"Boudoir?!"
His eyes widened, and he was about to get up in a hurry, but the feeling of tightness was still there, and no matter how hard Yi Qian tried, he couldn't leave the bed for half a minute.
The women's boudoir, taught by the master, is "one of the most dangerous forbidden places in the world"!
Although the divine consciousness did not perceive any danger in this house, the hideous expression when Wei Lao Dao warned about this matter, Yi Qian's memory is especially deep!
"Hey, don't move! You have the peach jade muscle cream that the master personally applied on you, and you have to recuperate!" Xiaolan stretched out her little hand to hold Yi Qian down, and seeing his nervous expression of being in a dangerous place, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is Miss He's boudoir, and it's not a monster's cave, what are you afraid of~"
"Xiaolan, say I'm a monster, do you want to be punished?"
A soft voice came from outside the house, and Yi Qian barely looked at it, only to see a slender woman slowly entering.
Twenty-eight years old, wrapped in pale pink clothes, draped in white gauze, revealing a beautiful neck and clearly visible collarbones, this woman's eyebrows are clear and beautiful, there is a natural freshness to carve, especially the charm between the eyebrows and lips, soft and glutinous, and lovable.
Xiaolan stuck out her tongue and said respectfully: "Miss, you are here~"
"You're... The girl who was attacked by that ugly demon?" Yi Qian's tone was a little uncertain, if it weren't for his keen grasp of breath, I am afraid that he would feel that he had never seen this woman before.
"Daoyou has a good eye, Zhuang He thanks Daoyou for saving his life!"
Zhuang He owed, and his eyes were full of sincerity and gratitude.
"If it weren't for your brother's last strange spell, I would have died, we don't owe each other~" When Yi Qian was unconscious, he vaguely remembered that the beast pill of the fierce demon had a self-detonation, and it was the young man named Zhuang Yong who used a magical spell that he couldn't see through, so that the three of them were not harmed.
"By the way, did you bring Xiao Wu back too??" Yi Qian asked urgently, and later he added: "It's the eared mouse with me!"
Zhuang He's face turned gloomy when he heard this, and he sighed: "We have tried our best to treat it, but we have never healed the demon beast, even with my father's cultivation, we can only help it take its last breath..."
"Where is it? I want to see it!" Yi Qian has never felt this way, Xiao Wu is his only partner, and now he is on the verge of dying, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he will not give up!
"When you have absorbed the medicinal power of Taoyu Muscle Nourishing Cream and your body has recovered, it is not too late to see it..."
Before Zhuang He finished speaking, Yi Qian opened his mouth and inhaled, and bursts of invisible void power distorted the air a little! The layers of white and powdered ointment on his body suddenly turned into juice and was inhaled into his abdomen!
The aura belonging to the Cloud Swallowing Beast was slightly revealed, and the two girls took a few steps back to stabilize their figures!
Without restraint, Yi Qian jumped up and fell to the ground, his bones made a crisp "pop" sound, and his whole body moved freely!
"Can I go now?"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Zhuang He bit his lower lip and led the way in front, the surprise in his heart had not completely faded.
She didn't know what Yi Qian's identity was, and she hadn't even had time to ask his name, but this young man, who looked two or three years younger than her, had already shocked her again and again!
At a young age, he has a fourth-level cultivation of peeping skills, coupled with an extremely high-quality flying sword and an extraordinarily powerful sword technique, he actually killed a brute tooth alone!
It was clearly very seriously injured, but she woke up in just two days, and at this moment, she followed her as if she was fine...
"It's a strange person to have such qualifications, and to be like a half-eared mouse..."
Zhuang He was thinking about his thoughts, and Yi Qian was anxious, but he was embarrassed to urge, so he had to walk slowly and patiently.
The peach blossoms on the roadside were in full bloom, but Yi Qian had no intention of watching, and after walking for a cup of tea, Zhuang He finally stopped in front of a small building by the stream.
"Xiao Wu is inside, there is a peach beard breathing array arranged by my father to keep him from dying, you go in by yourself, I'll wait for you outside..."
"Okay!" Yi Qian responded, quickly stepped forward and pushed the door in, and when he entered, the door closed itself.
"Whether it's the beauty of Peach Creek or me... can't even attract half of your attention..."
Standing outside the door, Zhuang He was full of emotions...
The room is square, obviously there is no window, but it is very bright.
There is no superfluous ornamentation, just a zhang xu square couch, on which the dense pale pink mantra gently rhythmizes, forming a flickering pink taiji diagram, and the small black that shrinks into a ball is in the middle of this taiji!
A soft pale pink halo continued to brush over Xiao Wu's body, maintaining the only wisp of life left in it.
"Little Wu... If it weren't for my greed for treasures, I wouldn't have fought that ugly demon, and you wouldn't have become like this..."Yi Qian sat in front of the couch dejectedly, looking at Xiao Wu who seemed to be sleeping, and his heart was full of self-blame.
After staying for a moment, Yi Qian's eyes suddenly lit up!
"The Mantra of Controlling the Beast is a treasure book for the cultivation of the Spiritual Void Beast, and there seems to be a healing technique in it!"
He hurriedly took out the "Mantra of Beast Control" and rummaged through it carefully.
Although this book is extremely thin, the handwriting inside it is extremely small, and the amount of records is so large that it is even comparable to a jade slip! Yi Qian looked down line by line, not daring to miss a glimmer of hope...
After a long time, when Yi Qian's eyes were a little sore, the name of a spell shocked him!
"[Healing Mantra]!"
Yi Qian's heart was ecstatic, his eyes widened and he looked at it carefully, and after keeping in mind the operation method and seal of his true power, he put the "Mantra of Beast Control" aside, he sat cross-legged in front of Xiao Wu, took a deep breath, pinched the magic trick in his hand, and shouted in his mouth: "Evil is not based on the body, and the more the world turns!"
A green aura appeared in his hand and did not enter Xiao Wu's body, but it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no movement!
Yi Qian was unwilling, pinched the magic trick again, and hurriedly shouted: "Evil is not based on the body, and the more things change!!"
Another flash of inspiration, or the same result...
Yi Qian was unwilling to accept his fate, kept pinching the trick, and kept playing the spiritual light, and over time, he even formed a circle of misty brilliance around Xiao Wu's body!
The true power in the dantian was soon gone, Yi Qian swallowed a bottle of elixir, recovered a little, and pinched the trick again!
Until all the elixirs to restore his true power were exhausted, Yi Qian's face was pale, tired, his hands trembled and he couldn't pinch it anymore, he collapsed on the ground in despair, and a double image appeared in front of him, and he couldn't even see Xiao Wu's body...
"Why didn't it work... Why-"
“... Yes... with..."
The whisper as thin as the sound of mosquitoes came into his ears, and Yi Qian thought that there was something wrong with his ears, so he hurriedly rubbed his eyes!
What he saw was a pair of eyes as black as ink!
“... I'm here... Because... There I... You're not alone..."
In a trance, Yi Qian burst into tears.
......
