As the Universe Turns - Chapter 900
Chapter 900 Nervousness
“Shit …”
Seeing that Xiao Chen’s body was poisoned and three hours had passed, Qin Guan’s expression suddenly changed as he looked at Xiahou Jie. However, he saw that Xiao Chen’s expression was cold and did not intend to make a move.
“Childe Xiao …”
Qin Lian’s body also trembled slightly. At this moment, she did not hesitate any longer. She looked at Xiahou Jie and said solemnly, “We lost this competition. Senior Xiahou, please detoxify him …”
“Lian’er …”
Hearing this, Qin Guan, Mrs. Qin, and the others were stunned. The rest of the Qin Family were also stunned, and none of them spoke.
Qin Lian walked forward, his gaze still fixed on Xiahou Jie. He said again, “Senior Xiahou, please detoxify Childe Xiao. I will go to the Snow Domain with you.”
At this moment, Xiahou Yu’s heart seemed to be burning as he listened to these words. However, he couldn’t vent his anger. This feeling made him uncomfortable. He sneered, “Did you not hear what my master said just now? After three hours, there is no way to cure the poison. Who can blame that brat for courting death?”
Xiahou Jie remained silent. Qin Lian’s body trembled slightly and he looked at Xiao Chen. Seeing that the signs of his poison had become more and more obvious, his heart trembled. He took a few steps forward and said, “Senior, please detoxify Childe Xiao …”
At this moment, her tone was already very low. It was no longer the same as before, but Xiahou Jie was still indifferent. The more Xiahou Yu saw her like this, the angrier he felt. He sneered and said, “Alright, if you want him to live, you can kneel down and beg me, I will let Master save his life …”
“Lian’er …”
Qin Guan and the others were shocked. They didn’t expect Xiahou Yu to make such an unreasonable request. Obviously, they could tell that Xiahou Yu was only intending to take revenge. Even if Lian’er knelt down and begged his master and disciple, they might not see him and his disciple rescuing him.
“What?”
Seeing her hesitating, Xiahou Yu sneered, “Didn’t you want him to live? If you don’t beg me, how would I know if you, young miss, really want to save him? Or are you just saying that?”
“Good, good …”
Qin Lian’s body trembled slightly. Under the light of the fire, her face became even paler. However, she knew that she was just a dying person. Today, Xiao Chen was poisoned by Xiahou Jie to save her …
When Qin Yao saw that she was really going to kneel down to Xiahou Yu for help, she was shocked, “Sister …”
At this moment, Xiahou Jie suddenly said coldly, “Forget it.”
At this moment, a red pill appeared in his hand. He coldly said, “This antidote can cure the poison on his body and also cure the poison on your body. However, there is only one pill. Dividing the food is a poison. Whoever wants to take it, you can decide for yourself.”
Everyone present was stunned when these words were spoken. They never imagined that this scene would happen. Xiahou Yu was also stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted. Although he knew that his master was the most protective of him, he also knew that his master was a man of words.
At this moment, he could tell from Master’s gaze that it was impossible for him to be trying to scare Qin Lian this time. His expression couldn’t help but change, “Master, wait …”
“Shut up!”
Unexpectedly, this time, Xiahou Jie’s expression was as cold as frost, startling Xiahou Yu. It had been a long time since he had seen his Master’s cold and frightening appearance.
“How is it? Miss Qin Lian, have you thought it over?”
Xiahou Jie shot two cold gazes at Qin Lian. At this moment, he was angry that Xiahou Yu wasn’t doing well. For a woman, he had made himself so miserable. Even now, he still cared about that woman in his heart. How could this be his descendant from Xiahou Jie?
The atmosphere suddenly became even more solidified. A single antidote could only save one person. At this moment, everyone looked at Qin Lian with rapt attention and remained silent.
She took a few steps forward and looked at Xiao Chen. She turned around and looked at Xiahou Jie. She smiled and said, “Childe Xiao is righteous. He dares to do anything. He is trapped today for our Qin Family. Even though Qin Lian is just a little girl in this mortal world, she knows how to be grateful. Please give the antidote to Childe Xiao, Senior Xia Hou.”
“Lian’er …”
Qin Guan’s body trembled slightly, and his face was already extremely pale. Even though he knew that Qin Lian would not be able to consume this single antidote, he knew that it was impossible for him to do so.
Qin Yao, Qin Yue, and the others were also stunned. Everyone in the Qin Family, from top to bottom, stared at Qin Lian motionlessly at this moment.
“Good, good …”
Xiahou Jie’s expression became even gloomier. Right at this moment, Xiahou Yu’s expression suddenly changed. Not only did Xiahou Yu’s expression change, many of the other people present also changed their expressions. If this antidote was given to Xiao Chen, Qin Lian would undoubtedly die. Xiahou Jie was right, then it was impossible to save her again.
But at this moment, Qin Lian seemed to be very calm. The smile on her face was like a butterfly flying in the night breeze. She was beautiful and free.
“Wait …”
At this moment, a faint voice finally sounded, “It’s not dark yet. Could it be that the competition … has already ended?”
Hearing this voice, everyone was stunned. They all looked in the direction where the voice came from. Under the illumination of the fire, Xiao Chen sat on the island. Although his body was still shrouded in poisonous mist, his expression was extremely calm … so calm that it gave off an unreal feeling.
‘”I said before that if you were lucky enough to cure the poison within three hours, then I am would win. If you were to die from the poison, then Senior would win. But now that I’m not dead from the poison, and the sky is not dark, how can the competition be considered to be over …”
A faint voice came from the island. Everyone was stunned. They all raised their heads to look at the sky. Although there was a crescent moon in the sky, there was still a trace of afterglow in the western direction. Therefore, it was not dark!
“Young Hero Xiao” Qin Guan and the others were completely stunned. They never expected that he would still be so calm!
“Haha, good, good …”
Xiahou Jie’s face seemed to be covered with layers of frost. Even those far away felt a chill. He said gloomily, “There is only half an incense stick left until dark. Now you can still be saved, but after half an incense stick, I will immediately destroy this antidote!”
“Childe Xiao!”
At this moment, Qin Lian’s expression finally changed. Everyone’s hearts trembled. Now, if he gave up admitting defeat, his life would at least be saved. But if he insisted on holding on for half an incense stick, Xiahou Jie would no longer detoxify him!
“I’ll see you in half an incense stick …”
Xiao Chen’s tone was indifferent. He suddenly raised his hands and condensed Genuine energy, placing him in his dantian. At this moment, everyone’s expressions froze as they stared at him motionlessly. He had no way to detoxify him for the past three hours. Now, there was only half an incense stick of time left. How could he detoxify him?
