Chapter 122: Jun Li's Life Hangs by a Thread
he top prize at the Flower Appreciation Banquet, I will bestow upon him the ancient moon qin, a renowned instrument throughout the land."As soon as the name Gu Yueqin was uttered, the room fell silent..."Ghost Doctor, Ghost Doctor!" Su Qingying was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. This was a critical moment, and she didn't have time to wake the Ghost Doctor. "Damn it! With my current inner strength, I can't suppress his toxins at all. If I stop now, the toxins in his body will rebound rapidly, and then they'll be impossible to control. What should I do"
"There's no other choice but to try this." With a determined glint in her eyes, Su Qingying resisted Jun Liye's poison while secretly absorbing it into herself. The venom surged into Su Qingying's bloodstream, rampaging through her veins with overwhelming force, causing excruciating pain that felt like her blood vessels were about to burst.
Su Qingying had to resist Jun Liye's poison while enduring the pain in her body. A trace of dark red blood couldn't help but seep from the corner of her mouth.
"Jun Li Ye, don't die, did you hear me Don't let all my efforts go to waste! If you dare to die, I swear I'll whip your corpse three hundred times, no, a thousand!" Seeing Jun Li Ye still unresponsive, Su Qing Ying fiercely opened her mouth to him, gritting her teeth and holding on.
"Ugh!" With her internal energy depleted and her body racked with pain, Su Qingying felt a sweetness in her throat. Blood surged up, and she swallowed hard, her mouth parched and dry.
Standing up and looking at the bucket of inky hot water, Su Qingying's tightly furrowed brows slightly relaxed. She had finally rescued Jun Liye from the underworld, “Whew, I made it! Almost lost half my life!”
Having controlled the poison, Su Qingying hastily used silver needles to quickly pierce several key acupoints on her own body. Afterward, she used a special method to transfer Jun Liye's poison into her own blood.
She is different from Jun Liye. The toxins in his body are the result of years of accumulation, deeply ingrained and extremely difficult to remove. But she is not the same.
After expelling all the poison from her body, Su Qingying saw that Jun Liye and Gu Yi were still unconscious. She swayed unsteadily and walked out of the room.
Outside, stars twinkled brightly, and the flying eaves shimmered with crimson and emerald green water.
A cool breeze brushed past Su Qingying's hair as she stood on the water bridge, taking a few deep breaths. The dizziness in her head lessened considerably. "The scenery here is nice, and the air is so fresh!"
"Su Qingying." Just as Su Qingying was enjoying the caress of the night wind, Jun Li Ye's voice, hoarse and dark, rang out from behind her. The voice was extremely soft and light, seeming like a gust of wind could scatter it.
"Jun Liye Are you alright" Su Qingying was startled and turned around abruptly, but saw Jun Liye had already changed into a clean white robe. He looked handsome and mischievous, but his brows were clearly filled with fatigue.
Su Qingying's voice suddenly choked, and she rushed to his face in a fit of anger, punching him repeatedly. "You bastard! Didn't I warn you not to use your internal energy Did you take my words as wind Do you know how dangerous it was just now Do you know how much effort I put in to pull you back from the brink of death If I had been a step late, you would have been gone for good! You want to die Just die far away, don't get in my way…"
"Ying'er, this king misses you so much." Jun Liye didn't shy away, instead reaching out to hug her tightly, holding her close with such force that it felt as if he wanted to melt her into his own flesh and blood.
"Screw you, let me go! Who the hell gave you the right to hug me" Su Qingying stiffened and struggled to get out of his embrace.
"Ugh..." a muffled grunt escaped his lips. Su Qingying's heart tightened, and she stopped struggling. She asked anxiously, "What's wrong Where does it hurt Did the poison spread again Let me see!"
"If you touch the wound on my body again, it will hurt even more." Jun Li embraced her slender frame, burying his head deeply into her neck, inhaling her faint fragrance that lingered around his nostrils.
His breath sprayed on her neck, itchy and warm, making Su Qingying very uncomfortable. Her face, thicker than Mount Nan, blushed. "Then let go of me."
"Don't let go, Your Highness. I barely survived this life, and I won't let you go for the rest of my life." The toxin spread, he thought he would never see her again in his lifetime...
"You..." Su Qingying had lived two lives, but this was the first time she had been held so tightly by a man. Her old face flushed with shame, hot as a monkey's butt.
Just as she was deep in thought, Jun Li suddenly loosened his hold on her slightly. He reached into his bosom and took out a snow-white porcelain bottle, offering it to her. Su Qingying looked at him with a puzzled expression, “What’s this”
Blood Eyes looked softly at the little woman in his arms, Jun Liye said faintly: "It is made with Millennium Gold and Seven-Leaf Blood Lotus to configure the Bingji Yulu Cream."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingying's phoenix eyes widened in surprise, her hand holding the porcelain bottle trembling slightly. Her heart was in turmoil, "Could it be... could it be that you've been searching for the Seven-Leaf Blood Lotus these past few days"
Jun Li Ye stared at her deeply, his eyes slightly darkened, and said softly, "You care so much about that girl, this king doesn't want to see you unhappy. Although Qiyeblood Lotus is extremely rare, it's not impossible to find, it's just more difficult."
"Jun Liye, you're crazy." After a long silence, Su Qingying choked back tears. A part of her heart completely crumbled. The feelings she had always refused to face and acknowledge broke free at this moment, threatening to overwhelm her.
The Seven-Leaf Blood Lotus is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. It grows in a place fraught with danger, so it's easy to imagine how Jun Liye endured hardship and narrowly escaped death countless times just to get his hands on it. He risked his life all for her happiness!
He is truly insane!
Jun Liye stared at her with piercing eyes, a cryptic smile on his lips. His voice was hoarse, laced with an unprecedented seriousness, "Yes, this king is insane. This king is insane enough to fall for you, this damned woman. Insane enough to think of nothing but you. You tell me, what should this king do to forget about you How can he stop loving you!"
"Jun Li Ye, since you already like Yun Ling, why do you still come to provoke me Why force me to face my own feelings" Su Qing Ying took a deep breath, suppressing the lump in her throat. She knew she might have fallen for him a long time ago, but she refused to believe it, so she kept avoiding and refusing to look straight at it.
By now, she's probably fallen deeply in love with this devilish man.
"Who said this king likes Yun Ling" Jun Liye asked in bewilderment.
When it came to Su Qingying, she was exasperated. Her voice dripped with sarcasm, like a vat of vinegar had been overturned, "Isn't that the case Who in this world doesn't know how Prince Regent Beiling won Yunling's heart back then, and how deeply he adored her Hmph, do you think I don't know anything"
Jun Liye was startled, then gently curved her lips and chuckled softly, dotingly saying, "Ying'er, are you jealous"
He smiled, and Su Qingying immediately bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Smug You're quite pleased with yourself, aren't you So what if I'm jealous You're flirting with me while still pining after other women. Do you want to play the field"
"Fool! You are the first woman I truly love. For Yun Ling, I only have a three-point liking. It's more about competition and admiration, understand" He lightly stroked her nose, Jun Li Ye's voice was full of indulgence.
"Um, are you serious" Su Qingying looked at him with a dubious expression.
“If I utter even a single lie, may heaven strike me with thunder and prevent me from dying well.” No explanation could be as direct as swearing an oath. Jun Liye looked at her with eyes full of tenderness, as if she were his entire world. With deep affection, he said, “Ying’er, this king truly loves you. I would offer this kingdom as my dowry to marry you for lifetimes and eternities. So please don't reject this king anymore, wouldn't you Give this king a chance, try to believe in him.”y.This day, the weather was bright and sunny with a few white clouds like cotton floating in the azure sky.The autumn sun wasn't scorching hot, but it felt warm on your skin.
