In the room, Xiao Yu was studying a medical book. Xiao Jiu was grinding ink at the side, and the Oriental Pearl came in with a bowl of porridge. Xiao Jiu smelled the fragrance of the bowl of porridge from afar, sniffed and said,"It smells so good. Miss Dongfang, what are you carrying?”
"To repay Brother Xiao for returning my mother's innocence, I personally cooked this bowl of lotus seed soup and sent it to Brother Xiao to taste," Dongfang Mingzhu said with a smile.”
Xiao Yu looked at the bowl of porridge. It was white and sticky, and there was a faint fragrance of petals. This Miss Dongfang knew how to cook. Xiao Yu was a little puzzled and said,"Miss Dongfang, you're too polite. Thank you, Miss Dongfang. Let Xiao Jiu take it first. Let it cool down a little before I eat.”
"Yes." Xiao Jiu replied, but Miss Dongfang dodged it and said,"I want to see Brother Xiao eat it. Xiao Jiu, you don't have to help.”
Xiao Yu looked at this Oriental Pearl who was like a living treasure and said,"Okay, okay, okay. Mingyue, put it down first. I'll write down the medicine for your brother tomorrow. I'll take it later, okay?”
Dongfang Mingyue toot and said,""Alright then." Dongfang Mingyue finally compromised." Brother Xiao, you must eat it.”
"Okay." Xiao Yu didn't even raise his head, still writing down the things he needed tomorrow. Xiao Jiu yawned, and Xiao Yu said,"Xiao Jiu, go and rest first.”
Dongfang Mingyue stared at Xiao Yu with her big watery eyes. Xiao Yu finally said,"Miss Dongfang, why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face? Are you tired?"
Dongfang Mingyue continued to smile and said,""There's nothing on your face, and I'm not tired. By the way, Brother Xiao, this bowl of porridge is about to get cold. Hurry up and eat it. Don't let the porridge I worked so hard to make go to waste.”
As Dongfang Mingyue spoke, she had already brought the porridge to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu had no choice but to take it. Xiao Yu picked up the spoon. The porridge was still steaming. After Xiao Yu finished eating, Xiao Yu said,"Alright, I'm done eating. So, Miss Dongfang, can you go back now?”
"Brother Xiao, do you think I'm very annoying and keep chasing me away? Do you not want to see me?”Dongfang Mingyue's eyes were covered with a layer of mist. With just a blink of an eye, crystal clear liquid seemed to flow out of her eyes.
"Ming Yue, you misunderstood. How could I hate you? I just saw that you must be very tired from making this bowl of porridge, so I wanted you to rest.”Xiao Yu hurriedly explained.
No, he didn't.
As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, he felt powerless all over. His hands were trembling non-stop, and his entire body was trembling non-stop. The bowl fell to the ground without warning and shattered into pieces. Seeing that the situation was not good, Miss Dongfang anxiously shouted,"Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"
"Don't touch me, I'm poisoned." Xiao Yu clutched his chest and said in pain. Dongfang Mingyue's outstretched hand stopped in place, wanting to go forward but not daring to.
Dongfang Mingyue looked at Xiao Yu and saw that his face was pale, his lips were green, and his entire body was trembling. It was a sign of poisoning. Dongfang Mingyue was so scared that tears kept falling. She said,"What should I do? What should I do? How could I be poisoned? I made it myself. How could there be a problem?”
Looking at Xiao Yu's increasingly painful appearance, Dongfang Mingyue seemed to have thought of something and said,"Grandma, Grandma knows medicine. I'll go find Grandma. Brother Xiao, you have to hold on.”
After saying that, Dongfang Mingyue rushed out of the room as if she had gone mad.
When Dongfang Mingyue rushed out, a red figure floated over and picked up Xiao Yu who was lying on the ground.
Xiao Yu opened his eyes and said weakly,"Don't touch me. If you touch me, you'll be poisoned.”
"You can't die." Meng Xiuming tried his best to suppress his emotions as he spoke in a low voice.
Xiao Yu's breath was weak as he said,"Those people have calculated the timing. I won't doubt the things that Miss Dongfang brought, and I won't doubt that Miss Dongfang will poison me. They are really thoughtful. It seems that they are going to take my life."”
Meng Xiuming gritted his teeth and said," You're the number one divine doctor in the world. You've been poisoned. Can't you cure it?"”
Xiao Yu shook his head and said,"I've never seen this kind of poison before, and it's very violent. I'm afraid I don't even have the strength to stand up now."”
"Since we can't cure the poison, let's let the blood out first.”Meng Xiuming said.
"No, I'm afraid you'll be poisoned too.”Xiao Yu said.
"It doesn't matter. People like us aren't afraid of death. What we can't stand the most is our mission being terminated. That means we don't have the ability.”Meng Xiuming explained in a low voice.
"Hehehe. You're still the same." Xiao Yu smiled bitterly. He was clearly defending himself.
Meng Xiu Ming pulled out his sword and fiercely slashed down on Xiao Yu's hand. Black blood flowed down Xiao Yu's five fingers, like a terrifying black spider web, wrapping around Xiao Yu's hand.
Xiao Yu lay in Meng Xiuming's embrace, listening to Meng Xiuming's heartbeat. Plop, plop, plop. It was so clear, so close, and so reassuring. It was as if as long as there was this heartbeat, Xiao Yu would be satisfied.
Meng Xiu Ming didn't look at Xiao Yu. He had seen this scene before, that kind of heart-wrenching pain.
It was the snowy mountain again. That was the place where Meng Xiuming and his master Shang Yunshi cultivated.
Snow was still falling from the sky. The weather was very cold. The north wind blew, and the little children subconsciously gathered their clothes. In front of them was a big river that was covered in thick ice. Shang Yunshi stood on the river and stretched out his palm. The ice on the river surface instantly shattered, and the sparkling water surface appeared.
"Master, what are we doing here?”Meng Xiuming, who was still a child, asked.
"Jump down." Shang Yunshi ordered.
Meng Xiuming hesitated.
A hand, a very powerful hand, grabbed Meng Xiuming's clothes and lifted him up. Without any emotion, he threw him into the icy cold river. The water splashed everywhere, and the river water was bone-chilling. Meng Xiuming was frozen to the point that he could not move. Shang Yunshi shouted,"Swim to the other side."
Meng Xiuming was so cold that he did not move. Shang Yunshi shouted,"Swim to the other side, do you hear me?”
Meng Xiuming glared fiercely at Shang Yunshi, his eyes filled with anger and fear. He still swam forward with all his might. Shang Yunshi swung his sleeve again, and a five-colored object fell into the river.
Meng Xiu Ming's eyes widened as he watched the five-colored thing rapidly swim towards him. It was a five-colored snake. It swam very quickly in the cold water. Meng Xiu Ming stopped moving and stared straight at the snake.
Shang Yunshi said from the shore," If you don't escape from it, you will die with just one bite. You can either swim to the other side or kill it. Only then can you survive. You can either be cruel to yourself or to your enemy."”
" Die! Die! I can't die!" Meng Xiu Ming shouted. He swam forward with all his might, but he was helpless. The snake was moving too fast. The snake was catching up to him, and death was coming.
Meng Xiuming's body was shaking violently. A hand caressed his arm, and Meng Xiuming instantly pulled back from the memories of the past to reality. There was no cold north wind, no cold snow, no cold river water, no cold Shang Yunshi, only Xiao Yu lying in his arms in the room of the Dongfang Mansion.
It was this kind of time when he was close to death again. It was not him, but Xiao Yu who was lying in his arms.
"Little Meng, you don't want me to die, do you?" Xiao Yu asked expectantly.”
"You're wrong. Seven Star Shadow Kill has no emotions." Meng Xiuming said coldly.”
Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and said,"Then why are you trembling? Why did you save me? If I die, you can leave, right?"”
Meng Xiu Ming didn't say anything. Xiao Yu's hand began to flow with red blood, and a portion of the poison was released. Meng Xiu Ming's fists were tightly clenched.
"Xiao Yu, why, why?”Meng Xiuming's voice began to tremble.
"Because I don't want you to be hurt again. I want to protect you, but now, I can't even protect myself, let alone protect you.”Xiao Yu smiled bitterly,"Little Seven, could it be that you really don't remember anything?"”
Little Seven, it was Little Seven again. Meng Xiu Ming suddenly raised his head. This name had appeared many times in her dreams. A woman always called her Little Seven warmly. This name had also appeared many times in Xiao Yu's mouth. Xiao Yu called her Little Seven, but she couldn't remember anything. Everything was so hazy.
" Little Seven, do you know? Ever since you left ten years ago, I've been looking for you. I've been looking for you for ten whole years. Only with the help of Wandering Know-it-all in the pugilistic world did I find out about you. Only then did I know that you're really still alive. You're really not dead. I think the heavens still favor me. I knew that you wanted to become the number one in the world, and you did it. You're the Red Clothed Shadow Killer that makes people tremble in fear. You're Meng Xiuming."”Xiao Yu said. Meng Xiuming listened. Although those memories had been sealed, when they were touched again, it still hurt.
Xiao Yu continued to recall,"You were always so stubborn, unwilling to listen to Master's wife, master, and me. You insisted on being the number one in the world. Just like now, you were clearly worried about me, afraid that I would die, but you refused to admit it."”
"Don't say anymore." Meng Xiuming interrupted him," I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't know anything about Little Seven.”
"Little Seven." Xiao Yu still called her,"Why are you always so stubborn? What should I do with you?"”This sentence again, Xiao Yu said this sentence again.
Meng Xiu Ming said angrily," Young Master Ming Yue, I think you've found the wrong person. I'm Meng Xiu Ming. It's the red-clothed shadow killer Meng Xiu Ming, not Little Seven."”
Xiao Yu's wound was a dark red, and it was no longer bleeding. Meng Xiuming left without looking back. Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with despair. Little Seven, are you really that heartless?
On this side were Dongfang Mingyue and Old Madam Dongfang, who had rushed over. Xiao Yu was lying quietly on the bed, and Xiao Jiu was very sad beside him. Dongfang Mingyue said,"Grandma, look. What's wrong with Brother Xiao?”
Old Madam Dongfang glanced at Xiao Yu and said,"Poisoned."
Xiao Jiu said sadly,"Old Madam, what poison is it? Can my young master still be saved?"”
Old Madam Dongfang saw the black blood stains on the ground and said to Xiao Jiu,""It's all thanks to you releasing the poison in time. Otherwise, your young master would have lost his life.”Then, Old Madam Dongfang said angrily,""Damn it, someone actually poisoned young master Xiao. Isn't this clearly not wanting young master Xiao to heal my grandson?”
When Xiao Jiu saw the pool of black blood, it looked out the window.
"Grandma, how did Brother Xiao get poisoned? What kind of poison did he get?" Dongfang Mingyue asked in panic.”
Old Madam Dongfang looked at the broken bowl and said,""It's the colorless and odorless Glazed Frost.”
Dongfang Mingyue grabbed Old Madam Dongfang's hand and said with tears in her eyes,""Grandma, you have to save Brother Xiao. If he dies, Brother won't be able to save your grandson.”
Old Madam Dongfang stroked Dongfang Mingyue's hair and said,""Grandma is also helpless. I only know that Young Master Xiao is poisoned, but I can't cure this kind of poison. If I had that ability, I would have cured Ming Zhu long ago.”
Dongfang Mingyue still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Yu,"Miss Dongfang, Old Madam Dongfang, life and death are predestined. Since this is the case, Xiao Yu's life should be like this. There is no need to force it.”
Death, being said so casually by Xiao Yu, and also so casually, besides this world's number one Ming Yue young master, who else could say it so easily.
"Sigh." Old Madam Dongfang sighed and left helplessly. Dongfang Mingyue followed behind Old Madam Dongfang and begged bitterly.
The winter night was cold, and the starry sky was quiet and beautiful. Because he had revealed the secret in his heart, Xiao Yu's mood improved a little. So what if he died here? However, Little Seven, can you still come back?
