Chapter 346 Lover with IOU

He Danggui closed her eyes in silence, and after taking a whole pill, she opened her eyes and said weakly, “It is really a holy medicine for healing the cold poison, the cold current that froze my heart veins has just melted away. Could you please...” She glanced at the opened green porcelain box placed next to the pillow, then looked at Lu Jiangbei’s face and asked, “give me another two pills?”

Among the four people, Lu Jiangbei and Liao Zhiyuan did not wear ice masks, while Gao Jue and Duan Xiaolou wore crystal-clear ice masks that covered the upper half of their faces. The former was easier to identify, as for the latter... He Danggui hadn’t identified them carefully yet. When these four people were outside the inn, Xiao Suxin said that the ice mask was used for healing. Could it be that Gao Jue and Duan Xiaolou were both seriously injured? When Duan Xiaolou suddenly withdrew his palm, did the coldness backfire on him?

As He Danggui asked for more pills, Lu Jiangbei felt somewhat confused, but he still took out another pill and passed it to her mouth. However, He Danggui’s cherry lips were tightly closed, with no intention of taking the pill—then, a white empty wax shell was held aloft by her small hand and she murmured with her lips barely moving, “I’ll take it later, please put it in here.”

Lu Jiangbei graciously put the pill into the white wax shell, studied the complexion of the seriously injured girl, and clasped her small hand holding the wax shell tightly to feel her pulse. After a while, an obscure and odd look appeared on Lu Jiangbei’s face. Then He Danggui handed over another empty wax shell with the other hand and looked directly at Lu Jiangbei’s eyes earnestly. “One more pill,” her eyes seemed to say.

Even in such a cold and tense moment, Lu Jiangbei still couldn’t help but smile lightly. He closed the green porcelain box next to the pillow, handed the box to her, and said, “These are not sugar pills. They’re pungent and slightly toxic. You can take one pill at most a day and stop taking it after three days in a row. Save the rest for yourself. You shouldn’t bear a man’s fist indiscriminately. Keep this in mind. You can’t be that lucky every time.” Then, Lu Jiangbei tore off a sheet and simply bandaged the laceration on her right hand.

“Can’t be that lucky? what happened?” Gao Jue also came up and sat on the side of the bed, and intended to feel her pulse, “Her channels haven’t been broken yet? How can she still move?”

He Danggui waved her hand to decline Gao Jue’s kindness, and explained, “Master Duan finally withdrew his palm, and I was only hit by a little palm energy, so I am not seriously hurt and do not need further treatment. Please check on Du Yao. I wanted to help him with his injuries, but he refused to let me feel his pulse, and I don’t know how badly he is hurt. Please.” He Danggui struggled up from the pillow. Her long hair straightened and dangled down like a waterfall. Some of her hair fell on the face of Du Yao who was lying behind her. Du Yao pushed aside her hair and said, “Miss He, don’t go. Let me take one more look at you.” Du Yao’s voice was as hoarse as two rocks rubbing together.

He Danggui looked back at him. With more hair falling on his face, she said helplessly, “You have to heal your injury.” Then added in a whisper, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. You... I’m really sorry... You must be curable, let Master Gao have a check.”

Du Yao insisted, “It’s the same no matter I am cured or not. I don’t blame you. I just want to look at you for some more time. Can’t I?” All of the sparkle disappeared in Du Yao’s eyes and his face indicated that he was now in a state of prostration.

He Danggui turned around and sat on the edge of the bed on her knees. She folded her hands like she was worshipping the dead, bowed her head, and said, “Believe it or not, today is the first time I have encountered such a situation. I didn’t do this on purpose. At that time, I wanted to let you go. But my hands seemed to be glued to you and were completely out of control. You were passive, so was I. I’m really, really...sorry!”

Du Yao said softly, “I don’t regret it. I have hugged you once, I have no regrets then.” After speaking that, he gently closed his eyes.

Seeing this, He Danggui was full of anxiety, slapped his cheek hard with her uninjured left hand and called out, “Du Yao! Du Yao! Please cheer yourself up, you will be fine. You have to be cured first. As soon as I find the master to learn the ‘reverse transmission’, I will give it back to you immediately. I swear, I will give you an IOU later! I won’t lie to you!”

Du Yao opened his eyes wearily, and protested softly, “I’m already wounded, can you be more gentle with me, Miss? I just want to sleep for a while.”

He Danggui put her palms together and bowed to Du Yao again, saying, “Please take care, I will come back to you soon!” Then she turned around and got out from between Lu Jiangbei and Gao Jue. Facing the two person who had been shocked by what happened between her and Du Yao, He Danggui once again put her palms together and pleaded, “Please save him!”

Du Yao was naked to the waist and lying on the bed with a smile on his face. Gao Jue stared at him for a while and refused to save him. Lu Jiangbei sighed, probed his hand under the quilt to find Du Yao’s wrist. Just with one touch, Lu Jiangbei was stunned and opened his eyes in disbelief, “Du Yao, you...”

He Danggui poked half of her head out from Lu Jiangbei’s back to watch Du Yao and asked optimistically, “His injury will definitely be healed within half a year, right?” He Danggui said with a little guilty.

Lu Jiangbei frowned silently and shook his head gently. He opened his mouth but at last said nothing. Seeing this, Gao Jue was suddenly surprised, “What kind of injury it is that can’t be cured in half a year? Dongchang Organization have gathered talents from all over the world. Even broken bones can be renewed, and people with broken muscles and veins can be rescued as long as they still have a breath. What kind of injury is Du Yao suffering that is so severe to be cured? As a Lothario, Du Yao intended to dally with the beauty, but the beauty seem to be safe and sound now. Could it be that Du Yao has been...?”

He Danggui looked at Du Yao, who seemed to have resigned to fate, and felt terribly sorry. But she could do nothing. Since Lu Jiangbei also thought Du Yao was incurable, the matter had to be put aside. He Danggui thought she finally had got a dozen of antidotes to cold poison and as long as Meng Xuan’s sword wound was cured, there would always be a way to cure Du Yao’s injury in the future. And Du Yao shouldn’t have had evil intentions in the first place. If Du Yao had not done that to her, how would she do that to him, but anyway...she felt sorry...

He Danggui gripped the green porcelain box in her hand with a hint of joy and relaxation in her eyes. She did not expect to get the pills so easily. She read the books on the shelf before and learned that the antidote to cold poison was the secret of Wujianmen School, and the formula was only passed to the direct descendants. Therefore, she was worried if she only said that she suffered from cold poison when practicing kung fu, Gao Jue would not give her the antidote. She thought at most, he would only help her “cure wounds and detoxify”. That would immediately reveal her real condition and her true intention of asking for the antidote to cold poison. And Maybe Gao Jue was smart enough to see straight through this and linked her to the rebel wearing a silver veil mask, Meng Xuan.

So when Duan Xiaolou hit Du Yao with a Cold Palm, she was somewhat intentional—she intended to be hit by him. Even if she was injured, as long as she could ask for one or two antidotes to cold poison, it was still a very good deal.

However, the palm she received was unharmful. It was just that the force was too fierce, and it broke through her hand. Other than that, she didn’t get internal injuries. He Danggui inferred that Duan Xiaolou had withdrawn his palm at the last moment. He probably only used less than 20% of his internal force. Thinking this, she was a little afraid. It seemed that even He Danggui wandered and battled in Fantasy Dream for a year and had great internal force, there was still a big gap between her and real masters. After all, He Danggui had never killed or even injured anyone in real life. She didn’t have any evil spirits in her palms. In contrast, from the terrible look of Duan Xiaolou, who was full of evil spirits at the moment before, he must have experienced the baptism of many bloody battles. If Duan Xiaolou really hit her hard, He Danggui might have vomited lots of blood.

That’s right, Duan Xiaolou’s palm didn’t hurt He Danggui at all. In fact, she wasn’t supposed to vomit any blood at all. But if she did, the chances of getting the antidotes would be greater. Therefore, she had to hide a needle between her fingers, and quickly pierced it in acupoints such as Tianfu, Hegu, Danzhong, and Shaoshang, to make her blood surge upward and come out from her mouth.

And then, noticing the couple of people who rushed through the door only focused on the relationship between her and Du Yao, she immediately understood that they must have misunderstood. Such a misunderstanding diverted their attention and affected their judgments and this was good for her, so she simply didn’t explain it and asked for the antidotes first. And now, she got what she wanted, so she could...

The slightest hint of joy in He Danggui’s eyes was caught by Liao Zhiyuan, and the act that she subconsciously gripped the medicine box did not escape his eyes as well. Liao Zhiyuan asked immediately, “Boss, did Duan Xiaolou really hurt her? I thought that she didn’t seem to be injured. Instead, Du Yao was lying stiff like a corpse. It seemed that his injuries were much more serious and he was dying. Miss He, why do you want so many antidotes? This was our school’s unique secret antidote. It only cures cold poison. So why do you keep so many of them? Will you take them as snacks?”

He Danggui’s face froze. She calmly put the box into the lining of her nocturnal clothing, and said with a smile, “Master Liao, you may not know that I became a disciple of Master Gao and have been taught by him for the past two years. Thanks to his guidance, I have learned a little bit of your school’s trivial skills. But I have been troubled by the coldness in my channels, and later I discovered that the coldness is toxic. Before I can ask Master Gao for advice, I found the antidote to cold poison. Of course, I have to ask some for later consumption even if it may seem a little bit shameless.”

“Oh?” Liao Zhiyuan was full of interest after hearing her words, “I didn’t expect that you are also practicing martial arts, and you have practiced for two years? Well, aren’t you supposed to be more powerful now? Let me think, um, Gao Jue started learning early, and he learned from a grandmaster known as ‘Cultivation Master’. Strictly speaking, Master Gao is considered as my younger master... So, Miss He, aren’t you supposed to be my junior sister? Since you know kung fu, why did you let my little sister, who didn’t know kung fu, to take an arrow for you when you were on the dragon boat? Because of that, she almost lost her life and barely escaped death. And she pulled a long face immediately when I mentioned this!”

Hearing this, He Danggui immediately lowered her head and said with guilty, “Sorry for getting Qing’er into trouble. Such things will never happen again. Even if there is another hidden arrow, I will never allow her to take it again.”

In this matter, He Danggui indeed couldn’t justify herself in front of Liao Zhiyuan and could not speak confidently. But subconsciously, compared to Liao Zhiyuan, a brother in the second life, He Danggui was the one closer to Qing’er. Therefore, sometimes the aura between her and Qing’er, the exclusive and possessive “sisterly love”, conflicted with the brother-sister relationship between Qing’er and Liao Zhiyuan. And in such cases, Qing’er chose to stand by He Danggui’s side. Gradually, Liao Zhiyuan’s animosity toward He Danggui grew. Regarding this strange and peculiar situation, even He Danggui was smart enough, she didn’t know how to solve it.

As expected, Liao Zhiyuan sneered, “You are popular for both men and women, and you are so charming, Miss He. Since you are a junior, as a senior, I have to give you some tips lest you are not good at kung fu in the future and bring shame on Wujianmen School.” Liao Zhiyuan left the door and walked straight to He Danggui.

Lu Jiangbei shouted in a deep voice, “Lynx, don’t fool around, she is seriously injured.”

He Danggui unconsciously hid behind Gao Jue, and at the same time realized that Lu Jiangbei was helping her lie, because Lu Jiangbei knew she was not injured at all! But, if Lu Jiangbei knew that He Danggui was not injured, why did he so generously give her the whole box of antidotes? Lu Jiangbei wounded Meng Xuan with his sword and give antidotes to her. Should there be any connection between these two things?

Duan Xiaolou had been standing by the door on the other side, he was silent and lonely. But at this moment, he suddenly asked, “What hidden arrow? Where did the hidden arrow come from? When did this happen? Lynx, why have you never mentioned it to me?”
