Chapter 20 Junior Brother, I'll help you detoxify.
Chapter 20 Junior Brother, I'll help you detoxify.
Both choices are difficult.
Xu Tianyi instinctively chose the second option. He immediately jumped onto the roof to dodge and then prepared to turn around to observe his opponent.
He chose the second option because he only believed in himself.
The choice is simple: when you are low on health and someone is chasing you, do you choose to use up all the medicine you have, or do you choose to create distance and fight back?
This is a gamble, and Xu Tianyi doesn't want to gamble that he can finish the medication and also create distance between himself and the enemy.
The only option is to try and turn the tide when you're low on health.
And his choice saved him once again.
Because Gu Qinghan's reaction time was genuinely slower.
The Blood Demon launched a sneak attack from the treasure vault, then charged in, and even finished off Xu Tianyi.
With a series of actions, Gu Qinghan was too slow to get up, and her urgent rescue move was still unavailable.
If Xu Tianyi believes her, then he is truly doomed.
But now that I've created some distance, the situation has become much clearer.
The next second, Gu Qinghan finally managed to freeze the Blood Demon just as it was about to attack Xu Tianyi for the third time.
Xu Tianyi withdrew from the battle and hid in a corner, where his internal energy circulated wildly as he began to detoxify himself.
Detoxification with internal energy is something every martial artist knows.
This is actually a type of surgical application.
Simply put, it forces out the toxic blood from the body.
While being forced out, it also expels a large amount of its own healthy blood.
Xu Tianyi's screech and roar began to come from the corner of the wall.
"Mmm~~ Ah~!~"
"Eek~~Yay~~"
...
If you didn't know better, you'd think he was taking a dump, but actually he was just detoxing.
While he was healing, Gu Qinghan was already engaged in a fierce battle with the Blood Demon.
The Blood Demon was held back by her. Even if it could find Xu Tianyi's location, it wouldn't be intelligent enough to understand why it needed to kill the remaining Blood Demon first.
Upon seeing the girl in front of him, he naturally chose to attack her.
Gu Qinghan was also enraged. The icy true energy of the peak Martial Spirit made the Blood Demon's speed extremely slow, and the freezing effect also reduced its defense.
Frost flew, sword energy swept, and a girl's coquettish scolding rang out.
Soon, the blood demon's body shattered, turning into frozen flesh and blood that spread across the ground.
After Gu Qinghan dealt with the blood demon, she felt a sense of accomplishment, but she quickly realized what was going on.
Where are my teammates?
They immediately searched frantically and soon found Xu Tianyi in the corner, struggling to detoxify, sweating profusely, and spurting blood.
She was stunned, sheathed her sword, and rushed forward anxiously, asking, "Junior brother, how are you...?"
Xu Tianyi suddenly looked up: "No...don't come any closer!!"
Gu Qinghan stood there, stunned.
"What's wrong... Are you alright? I have... "
"Don't come any closer!!!"
Xu Tianyi roared.
Gu Qinghan was startled: "Junior brother..."
"This is aphrodisiac!! Get out of here! Get out of here! Don't let me ruin your reputation!!"
Xu Tianyi's face was flushed red, and his body was covered in blood. He looked very weak, but he gritted his teeth, frowned, and shouted for her to leave.
She was conflicted and stood frozen in place.
In his mind, he recalled a story from a traditional Chinese novel, in which the protagonist was poisoned by aphrodisiacs, and the female protagonist sacrificed herself to save him.
Her face flushed slightly, clearly indicating that she was already considering it.
A moment later, Xu Tianyi spat out a mouthful of blood: "It's over... I can't expel it. Junior sister, it's nice to meet you..."
After saying that, he raised his right hand to gather strength.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qinghan suddenly pounced on him and hugged him tightly, even though he was covered in blood.
"Junior brother...I...I'll save you...Hurry..."
"Junior sister, how could you... No, how could I ruin your reputation... I'm just an ordinary person, unworthy of the princess!!"
Xu Tianyi's eyes were very firm, and his voice became increasingly hoarse.
Gu Qinghan, however, disregarded everything else. She reached out and pulled at the collar of her clothes, her snow-white skin and fresh, youthful fragrance mingled with a hint of blood, creating an incredibly stimulating scene.
But just as she was about to grit her teeth and pull down, she suddenly felt Xu Tianyi grab her wrist.
"Junior brother, let go, I'll help you detoxify..."
Xu Tianyi burst into laughter: "Wow, junior sister, you've fallen for my trap! Hahahaha..."
As he was laughing, he realized something was wrong.
Gu Qinghan's face flushed instantly, a feeling of shame and anger swirling in her heart, before her expression turned cold and terrifying.
Xu Tianyi's smile gradually changed from a hearty laugh to an awkward one.
Sure enough, Gu Qinghan's voice, filled with gritted teeth, rang out:
"What did you say!!"
"Um... I have something to do, I'll go first..."
After saying that, Xu Tianyi saw that the situation was not good and turned to run away, but she grabbed his arm and slammed him to the ground.
"You actually...you actually joked with me like that!!"
"Cough cough...cough...calm down...cold..."
"Snapped!!"
"How can you expect me to calm down! I'm ignoring you!!"
The familiar sound of a slap rang out. Xu Tianyi only saw her stomp her foot, turn around, and leave in shame and anger.
He was in pain and collapsed to the ground, surrounded by blood.
After taking a few deep breaths, he suddenly felt a strong wave of drowsiness. He tried to force himself to stay awake, but his head spun and he passed out.
. . .
Gu Qinghan's face began to flush again after walking only a short distance, and she covered her face, feeling a warm sensation.
She tilted her head to look at the collar of her left shoulder that she had just pulled down, and felt even more unclean.
She stood there, wanting to wait for Xu Tianyi to come out and apologize.
After waiting for a while, they found that there was no sound coming from the yard.
I'm starting to get scared. What if something really happened to him...?
Turning back hastily, he saw Xu Tianyi lying on the ground, still bleeding profusely.
I suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
She hadn't had time to react when the blood demon attacked her. If she had been hit, even though she was at the peak of the Martial Spirit realm, she would have been injured or even suppressed and killed by the opponent.
In his moment of confusion, Xu Tianyi pushed himself away and even deliberately attracted the attention of the Blood Demon.
She saw Xu Tianyi being thrown more than twenty meters away and crashing into the artificial hill, and she was deeply moved.
After that, the Blood Demon even pounced on him again, and at that moment, she felt a sense of despair.
Because even if she used her Ice Flying Shadow technique, she couldn't save him instantly.
Fortunately, he managed to dodge, which put my mind at ease.
Thinking about all this, she suddenly laughed to herself.
"He could have taken my body, but he held back, and I even threw him down. He must have been in a lot of pain..."
She slowly squatted down, looking at his face, which was contorted with pain, and his clothes, which were almost soaked with sweat and blood. Her heart ached.
"Just now, was he trying to cheer me up, so I wouldn't worry about him...?"
"How could I do this to him..."
"Junior brother..."
As she was thinking, Gu Qinghan suddenly burst into tears. Then she realized what was happening and quickly fed him a few healing pills. She then picked him up and rushed out of the Qian family home.
Soon, guided by the servant Zhou Han, he was carried back to the inn by Gu Qinghan.
Gu Qinghan's aggrieved yet anxious voice came through:
"Mother! Save him quickly, he's been poisoned..."
