When they returned to the Jade Bamboo Residence, the sky in the east had already begun to brighten.
Lin Yilan ran to the bed and pulled Xiao Mo's arm out to examine it carefully.
Below his elbow, a faint purple mark was clearly visible, extending all the way to his fingertips, but it was all faintly discernible. On the other hand, there was no similar mark on his other hand.
Her gaze shifted to the night-traveling clothes that Xiao Mo had taken off for someone last time but had yet to put away. Her guess was indeed correct. That she-devil was the assassin she had seen in the imperial prison.
That day, the warden said,
The Three Night Powder was the number one poison in the Demonic Sect. Anyone who touched it would die within three days. On the first day, they would feel dizzy and weak, unable to hold their hands or feet, and would fall unconscious. On the second day, they would vomit blood and suffer the pain of being torn apart by thousands of snakes and burned by fire. They would not be able to see or hear. After three days, there would be no pain or itch, but their bodies would start to rot. When the sun set, their hearts and lungs would shatter and they would die.
The reason why she didn't suspect anything was because Xiao Mo's symptoms remained the same as the first day. This could only be said to be a blessing from the heavens. That day, she had unintentionally sealed Xiao Mo's Qu Ze acupoint. She didn't expect to accidentally stop the spread of the poison and save her life. However, it caused her to go in a big circle and waste a lot of time. The most important thing now was to find the antidote. Looking at the condition of his other arm, Xiao Mo could enter the second day's condition at any time. Could that kind of pain be endured by a human?!
That damned she-devil, she first stole her favorite clothes, then left behind a pile of mess, and now even Xiao Mo was poisoned! The feud between them was set in stone!
She stood up angrily and prepared to leave. Even if she had to turn the entire capital upside down, she would definitely find that demon!
Just as she was about to step out of the door, she suddenly thought of something. Lin Yilan turned back and rummaged through the dressing table for a long time before stuffing a few packets of medicinal powder into her waist. She also took out two silver needles and carefully put them away. The bastard was already used to this scene. He lay beside Xiao Mo and wagged his tail, helping her chase away the bugs that were flying around. However, Lin Yilan picked him up and walked out.
The bastard was shocked and struggled desperately. It did not want to go! There were many dangers in this trip. The enemy was cunning and ferocious. They would throw silver swords and hidden weapons everywhere. It was very likely that they would not return! It was just a fox, alright? Don't provoke its heart like this!
"It's useless to struggle. You have to go. I still need you to smell that person!”Lin Yilan smiled proudly. Fortunately, she had decided to raise a fox instead of a dog. After all, a fox's sense of smell was quite sensitive. Of course, if it was really an Ice Fox, it would be invincible!
Bastard! Cunning humans! He actually treated it like a dog! The bastard hung on Lin Yilan's hand and glared at her. However, this woman's face was as thick as a bronze wall. She accepted the baptism of its gaze with a relaxed expression…Forget it, I won't stare anymore. I'll be the one to suffer in the future. At most, I'll leave first after I find that terrifying woman. Anyway, my master's terrifying journey isn't much different.
"If you dare to escape first, I'll poison you to death!”
"Ao Ao!" White claws danced in the air.
"We're here." He easily left the Imperial Residence without a single guard stopping him. He had probably been called by Ying Yun to 'rectify the sect'. Lin Yilan ignored the bastard's protests and placed it on the ground to let it identify its scent. She didn't believe that the she-devil would dare to fly around on the streets. If she was still so ostentatious even though she was seriously injured, she wouldn't need to search in the city. She could just find a pile of dirt in the wilderness... but the prerequisite was that someone had to be willing to bury the she-devil!
The bastard walked around unwillingly. After identifying Xiao Qingying's scent, he began to move forward.
First, they entered a pawnshop. Lin Yilan's reaction was expected, but of course, it was also reasonable.
Then, there was a cloth shop. This was not strange. When you have money, you have to buy clothes. It was a woman's nature.
After that, there was an inn. It was very normal. There had to be a place to eat and stay…Wait! How many days did she plan to stay in the capital? Why? Why did she appear in the Imperial Residence? It was as if she was being hunted by an enemy, but she still dared to stay in a fixed place…
However, the next place she went to made Lin Yilan a little crazy. There was a dilapidated arena, the roof of a theater, a gambling den, a cowshed...
"Bastard! Be more serious! Could there be a mistake?" Lin Yilan took a few steps back with lingering fear. She turned to the bastard who was unwilling to take half a step forward and asked," Why did I even come to the manure pit?" Even if it was to relieve herself, the problem was that there was no shelter around. It was obviously used by farmers to store " fertilizer." No matter how casual the people of the martial world were, it was impossible for a girl to…
"Ao Ao!" The bastard was furious. It did not mind the filth and came to this filthy place. It could also distinguish the smell of the demon from the stench of many different species. Not only did its master not praise it for its bravery and wisdom, but he even doubted its sense of smell! It was so angry!
After all the commotion, the man and fox finally arrived at a relatively normal street from the neighboring suburbs. The bastard carefully identified the street and brought Lin Yilan to a restaurant.
Although it couldn't be compared to the big restaurant in the capital, it was still not bad.
"Run! A fight!"
"Stop looking, let's go! Swords and sabers have no eyes!"
Just as Lin Yilan picked up the bastard and was about to go in and ask around, the restaurant's customers suddenly ran out of the restaurant in a panic. Immediately after, the sound of bowls and chopsticks falling to the ground and tables flipping could be heard from inside. There was also the boss's pained voice to stop the fight."Stop fighting! Aiyo, my table! Ah! Don't smash my cabinet…Wuu…What sin did I commit? Why did I end up with you two Buddhas…Ah! Don't hit me! I'll leave now…I'll leave now…Aiya! My ceiling…"
Startled by the chaotic sounds coming from inside, Lin Yilan roughly understood the situation. She carefully avoided the flying plates and slipped into the restaurant. She quickly found a pillar to hide and secretly poked her head out.
Hah! It was indeed that she-devil! That's why people can't be too bad. Look, there are people chasing after us just for a meal!
Wait a minute, that man with a small face looks so familiar…He seems to be the head of the prison…His name is Wei…
Wasn't she too bold as an assassin? He even dared to provoke the prison head?
But then again, this female devil's cultivation was really high. She was proficient in all eighteen martial arts and could use anything as a weapon. Last time, it was a flower petal, and this time, it was an abacus! Block, block, block, buckle, every move was precise. Those who didn't know better would think that her weapon was an abacus! As for those who knew, such as Lin Yilan, they thought that this demon had no weapons at all!
The two of them seemed to be fighting and chatting at the same time. However, they were too far away, so Lin Yilan couldn't hear them clearly. She could only see that after the female devil heard Zhang Wei's words, a contemptuous smile appeared on her icy face. She took advantage of the opportunity to slash the abacus with the knife, causing it to crack. She took a few steps back and set up the abacus at the side. Her fair hand was above her, and as her slender fingers plucked, the abacus beads instantly turned into darts, flying straight towards Zhang Wei, who was holding the knife. She didn't expect her to use such a strange move. Zhang Wei hurriedly raised his saber to block. However, there were too many abacus beads and his attacks were fierce and precise. In the blink of an eye, there were many wounds on his body. Zhang Wei was shocked. He looked at Xiao Qingying angrily and said through gritted teeth,""B * tch! Just you wait!" After saying that, he jumped out of the window and fled.
Xiao Qingying frowned slightly at the way he addressed her. She flicked her wrist, and the abacus chased after the fleeing figure. Hearing the sound of the wind behind her, Zhang Wei panicked. He turned around, and the abacus hit his teeth hard.
" You..." Zhang Wei, who was rolling on the street in a sorry state, covered his bleeding mouth and wanted to curse. However, a sharp pain came over him. It was most likely that he had knocked out his teeth! Han Hen glared at Xiao Qingying, then quickly got up and ran away.
Xiao Qingying didn't chase after him. Instead, she found her boss, who was hiding in a corner, and stuffed a banknote into his hand. Then, she walked out without saying a word. Although she loved money, she was also clear about right and wrong. She was the one who attracted the people here, so she naturally had to take responsibility.
"Heroine…Thank you! Thank you!" The boss was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He quickly got up and kowtowed to Xiao Qingying's back.
Shocked by Xiao Qingying's action, Lin Yilan's hand, which was about to take the powder from her waist, stopped. She gave up on the idea of secretly poisoning Xiao Qingying. She stood up and walked around the pillar to block Xiao Qingying's way."Hero, what a coincidence!"
Xiao Qingying didn't even look at her. She walked out and threw away the bead that she had been secretly holding to deal with Lin Yilan. Since this cunning woman had given up on plotting against her, she wouldn't hurt her. However, what was she doing here?
"Hero, slow down! Don't use qinggong!" Lin Yilan quickly ran after Xiao Qingying, holding her skirt and shouting.
"Why are you so annoying! Why are you here again?" Xiao Qingying frowned. Talking to her would kill a lot of brain cells!
"I'm not in the mood to play riddles with you today. You don't have to guess the deeper meaning of what I'm about to say.”This was the first time Lin Yilan spoke to Xiao Qingying so sincerely.
Xiao Qingying was shocked by Lin Yilan's serious look. He fell silent for a moment and recalled what she had just said.
He even told her not to guess the deeper meaning. Wasn't the literal meaning too obscure?! Xiao Mo…was probably that silly servant girl. She was poisoned, and this girl was here to ask for the antidote. This could only mean one thing. That servant girl had touched his clothes and poisoned him. In other words, he had caused the servant girl to be poisoned when he was not paying attention.
However, the main point was that she did not have the antidote!
"Hero? Hero!" Lin Yilan saw that Xiao Qingying was frowning and refused to answer. She thought that Xiao Qingying was trying to escape, so she pulled her sleeve and urged her.
"I don't have the antidote." Xiao Qingying told the truth with a hint of guilt.
"No antidote? Do you think you can talk nonsense just because I can't beat you?! You're poisoned, but you're fine. And you say there's no antidote? You left after leaving my Xiao Mo in such a state. Don't you want to take responsibility?! How can there be someone like you in this world!”Lin Yilan was furious. She grabbed Xiao Qingying's collar and burst into tears. She was afraid that the passers-by couldn't hear her. She sounded as if Xiao Qingying was a heartless person." What happened " really made people's imagination run wild. As the saying went, the power of the crowd was great, and the power of the fishing boat was terrifying. She didn't believe that Xiao Qingying would dare to escape under the strange gazes of the crowd!
Unfortunately, Xiao Qingying wasn't an ordinary person. Lin Yilan had underestimated her willpower.
Xiao Qingying glanced at the condemning eyes around her and smiled evilly. If she wanted to lose face, she would do it with everyone!
Xiao Qingying raised her hand and touched her collar. Although her deliberately gentle voice was not loud, it could still be heard clearly by the onlookers.""I can't control it either. You and I are in love with each other, so she naturally has to suffer. If you want me to take responsibility, you have a share too!”
When everyone heard this, their originally condemning gazes instantly turned into dull gazes as they looked at the two women who were tightly holding hands in front of them…If they were not mistaken…these two…should be women…
The bastard who was originally lying on Lin Yilan's shoulder lost his grip and fell off her shoulder. He looked back and forth at the two reborn witches in shock... No way, the two of them... Since when did they have an affair... Can this world still be peaceful?!
Sensing that the number of gazes on her had increased by several times, Lin Yilan's lips twitched. This female devil was indeed capable. Alright, they were on the same boat now! It was not good to stay here for long. It was best to escape!
"Since we are all responsible, you can't leave alone! Let's go together! Hurry, let's elope!”This was the most brazen and self-righteous " elopement " in history. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Yilan picked up the dumbstruck bastard and swiftly dragged Xiao Qingying out of the petrified crowd.
After running for a while and turning into a remote alley, Lin Yilan dared to stop and rest for a while.
"I'm not playing with you anymore! Hand over the antidote!" Lin Yilan finally caught her breath. She stared at Xiao Qingying, whose heart rate hadn't changed at all, and said angrily.
Xiao Qingying's lips curled into a smile. Fine, she admitted that she liked to play with her, but to ask her to hand over the antidote…Wait!
A glimmer of light flashed across her bright eyes. That lecher had been taking advantage of her, so why was he fine?!
"And this bottle, the 'poison' inside can suppress all kinds of strange poisons in the world and buy time to find an antidote.”
Before he came, his father seemed to have told him something like this…
Her bag fell into the hands of that lecher. He must have used poison and then found the antidote!
"If you were given time, would you be able to refine the antidote?”Xiao Qingying, who had been silent, suddenly asked. Looking at the medical books and poisons in this woman's room, she was most likely in this field.
"Of course you can, but your Three Nights Powder…"
"That's good. Come with me to the palace!”Xiao Qingying pulled Lin Yilan and left.
"Why are we going to the palace? Saving people is like putting out a fire. Don't delay!”Lin Yilan tried to shake off Xiao Qingying's hand, but they weren't on the same level.
"My bag was snatched away by that ruffian prince. There is a bottle of medicine inside that can suppress the poison. You can use this time to refine the antidote. Believe it or not, I really don't have the antidote, and I didn't put the poison in my body myself.”Xiao Qingying rarely spoke so much in one breath. However, for some reason, she hoped that Lin Yilan would believe her. Besides, she had tried many times to take back the bag, but she had never succeeded. If she had this woman's help, things would be much simpler.
It was the first time Lin Yilan heard Xiao Qingying talk so much. She looked at her in surprise. Just when Xiao Qingying thought that she was going to interrogate him again, Lin Yilan smiled sincerely and said with a mischievous look in her eyes,""Alright, since the hero has said so, let's go!”She was not interested in the whole story, but she could feel the sincerity of this woman in front of her. Although she always had a cold look, whether it was the money she gave the restaurant owner or the explanation she gave for Xiao Mo, she was still kind!
Xiao Qingying was stunned for a moment. Then, a smile appeared on his cold face. He grabbed Lin Yilan, who had already walked out of the alley, and jumped onto the roof.
"Hey! I'm walking fine, why are you carrying me and flying me?!”
"He's walking too slowly!"
"You're the slow one! You didn't even tell me you were going up to the roof. You'll scare me to death!”
"If you continue to argue, I'll throw you down!"
"Then don't even think about getting your things back!”
"Then just wait for that idiot to die! It's so heavy!"
"You wanted to carry it yourself! Cut the crap! Fly faster!"
Reality had proven that even the wise and mighty Crown Prince could be wrong. After these two women joined forces, the first thing they did was not to overturn the Imperial Residence, but to overturn his Crown Prince Palace!
