As the Universe Turns - Chapter 905
Chapter 905 Seven Days
“Childe Xiao … what’s wrong?” Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly froze, Qin Lian asked softly.
“It doesn’t matter. In two days, if nothing unexpected happens, the poison in the girl’s body should be cleared …” Xiao Chen said as he walked outside. “I’ll come back later. Don’t move during this period.”
After he left, Qin Mian turned his head slightly and looked outside, wondering if what he had just said was true? Why would he follow those strange things around him? Just now, he said that he couldn’t enter reincarnation … What did he mean?
Perhaps he is just different from others, but what exactly is that heart hidden beneath his icy cold exterior …
Qin Lian slowly turned around. According to what Xiao Chen had said, she didn’t move around anymore. She recalled that in the past few days, the other party had given her needles. Although she was separated by a screen and a light veil, she was still lying on the bed without touching it. If she wasn’t nervous at all, it would be impossible for her to do so.
However, the nervousness in her heart had gradually faded. At this moment, every time she thought of Xiao Chen, only four words appeared in her mind: Gentleman Rulan.
Although his appearance was always cold and ice-cold, the feeling he gave her these past few days was like an orchid in the Void Valley. However, until now, she didn’t even know the other party’s full name. She only knew his surname was Xiao. Perhaps, he was as mysterious as the orchid in the Valley …
By the afternoon, the silver needles on her body had gradually darkened. However, compared to a few days ago, the black toxin was much lighter today. Xiao Chen came back according to the time and took the silver needles away. He told her to rest properly before leaving.
The next morning, when Xiao Chen was about to acupuncture Qin Lian, a person suddenly came from the courtyard. It was Qin Yao. What did Xiao Chen want her to do here early in the morning?
He was holding a bowl of porridge in his hand. He didn’t carry a food box, but he held it with both hands. Could it be that he was trying to plot against himself?
“Then, that …”
Qin Yao carefully held the bowl of porridge and slowly walked over. She said, “The weather in Qinling Mountains is cold. Brother said that he thanks you for saving me that day and for detoxifying my sister these days. Let me … let me specially bring you a bowl of lotus seed porridge.”
Xiao Chen glanced at the bowl and said, “Put it in my room.” As he spoke, he walked out of the courtyard.
Qin Yao stared blankly and stopped him, “Aren’t you going to drink?”
Xiao Chen stopped and turned his head slightly. “I still have to detoxify your sister. Don’t disturb me if you have nothing to do these two days.” With that, he went straight out of the courtyard.
Qin Yao was stunned on the spot. After a long while, she could no longer see Xiao Chen outside. She regained her senses and stomped her feet heavily in anger, “You, you … you’re pissing me off!”
As he spoke, he saw her “gulu gulu”. He raised his head and drank the bowl of porridge until it was completely empty. After that, he licked his tongue and muttered to himself, “Although it’s a bit worse than the porridge big sister cooked in the past, it’s still quite delicious … I’m so angry!”
With that, she put her hands on her hips and looked angrily in the direction Xiao Chen left in. Finally, she looked into the courtyard and placed a bowl of cold water in Xiao Chen’s room. However, in the afternoon, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she secretly returned and changed into a bowl of hot porridge.
At dusk this day, the poison on Qin Lian’s body was almost gone. The silver needles were no longer black. Xiao Chen put away the needles one by one and said, “Tomorrow, I will remove the last remaining poison from the girl’s body. The girl’s poison will be counted as gone. It’s just that the girl has been possessed by the poison for three years. In the next few months, she still needs to recover.”
“Many, many thanks, Childe Xiao …”
Qin Lian whispered his thanks. Then, he thought that after tomorrow, after he had cleared himself of the poison, he would definitely leave, right? “Is Childe Xiao planning to … leave?”
“I’ll leave after I completely remove the poison from your body.” Xiao Chen said indifferently.
“This, this …”
For some reason, even though she knew that he was leaving, she heard it with her own ears. Qin Lian still felt a sense of loss in her heart. It was not for any other reason, but because the other party had done her utmost to cure her of the poison these days. She could only lie in bed all day. If she could stay with him, walk around the manor and send him away, it would be good …
“Young lady, you have a good rest. I’ll come back tomorrow.”
Xiao Chen had already put away all the silver needles. After saying that, he went out of the room. Qin Lian stopped him and said, “Childe Xiao, wait …”
“Miss, what else do you need?” Xiao Chen stopped and heard Qin Lian’s subtle words from behind, “Well … I don’t know what Childe Xiao’s full name is …”
“Yi Chen.”
After saying those two words, Xiao Chen had already left the room.
“Yi Chen …”
Qin Lian muttered these two words to herself. When she regained her senses, Xiao Chen was no longer in the courtyard. However, not long after, Qin Yao’s voice rang out from outside the room. “Sister, what did you say just now? Oh right, I saw the ice block go out just now. Has the poison on your body been cleared? I’ve come in …”
“Ah?”
Only then did Qin Lian completely regain her senses and hurriedly said, “Little sister, wait …”
At this moment, her body was completely untouched. Her snow-white body could be vaguely seen in the light veil. Although she and Xiao Chen were innocent and the other party had not acted rudely these past few days, if this little girl saw her, she would most likely misunderstand something …
…
That night, the moon in the Qinling Mountains was like a sharp hook hanging on the cold night sky. Xiao Chen sat alone on the windowsill. This was his seventh day in the Qinling Mountains. Tomorrow was the last day. After he had completely cleared Qin Lian of the poison, he would leave.
But where should he go next?
The ten saints who had chased after his father had all disappeared from the world more than forty years ago. Who was the person behind this? It’s not just the Heavenless Palace …
However, in the end, Father and Mother completely lost their news in a place called the “Hill of Illusory Ruins”, that is, the place he had dreamt about again and again. Those two strange and familiar figures had risked their lives to protect him …
“Uh …”
Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s face turned deathly pale. Every time he recalled this place in his dreams, his brain would be in intense pain, as if someone was … tampering with his dreams.
But no matter what, he couldn’t tamper with it. The last figure he saw in his dream was so powerful that he couldn’t breathe in his dreams. The last person was one of the three Supreme Daoists, Tai Huazi and Heavenless Palace, a person who had already entered the Sage realm …
“Tai Huazi …”
Xiao Chen clenched his fingers tightly. Suddenly, he remembered what Tai Yinsi had said that night. The three Grand Daoists who had entered the Sage realm in Heavenless Palace saw a terrifying dream at the same time when they were comprehending the Profound realm, causing their minds to be in chaos on the spot, and even their cultivation backed up by a small realm.
It was as if the three of them had seen themselves in their dreams and had something to do with them. Therefore, the Heavenless Palace would definitely do everything in its power to get rid of them. In this way, the dreams that the three of them saw would never come true.
Most dreams are born from the heart, but not all dreams are born from the heart and are illusory.
There are records in ancient books: dreams, called “cold shine”, cold shine is the home of dreams, but also the beginning of dreams, but also the overlap of dreams and reality.
Hanzhao is another world, when everything you experience in Hanzhao, be it life or death, love or hatred, waking up like a big dream …
Therefore, what the three Supreme Daoists of Heavenless Palace saw in their dreams was not necessarily what had truly happened in the Frost Reflection Realm.
…
The cold night was long and ice-like. At this moment, on another mountain covered with Yin Qi in Spirit Ruins Realm, although there was no ice or snow covering the mountain, it was much colder than the Qin Mountains. That was the Ghost Yin Mountain, which was located in an extremely dark place. It was Tai Yinsi’s master, Patriarch Guiyin.
“Impermanence …”
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the top of the mountain. The Yin Qi on that person was extremely heavy. It was Patriarch Guiyin. Ghost Yin Mountain intimidated all sects within a radius of several thousand kilometers. Even Heavenless Palace did not dare to provoke him easily. It could be seen that this person’s cultivation was extremely high.
However, a few days ago, he looked as thin as firewood, as if he was on the verge of death. However, looking at it today, he was full of energy, and his lifespan had increased by at least three hundred years. It seemed that his cultivation had already broken through.
“Sigh …”
In the end, he let out a long sigh. He flicked his sleeve and instantly turned into a swift shadow. Although he didn’t want to be Xiao Chen’s enemy, he had to save Yin Wuchang’s soul.
…
Note: Hanzhao is one of the nine worlds in Gu Yi’s last book, “Hanzhao Realm”, because Hanzhao is a unique setting in Gu Yi’s book, and its logic is more complex, which will be mentioned in later books.
