Chapter 204
Chapter 204 (Part 1) Love is in sky of affection (3)
In the period before Feng Cang came, Longze Jing Tian, Duyi and Taji Guli went to the dragon pool first.
From the beginning, he (LJT) already felt that Feng Cang was no ordinary man. The first two tests must be held in the village of the Qiang tribe, so it wasn’t a good place to take action. Therefore, they set the opportunity at the third test. Now, Feng Cang was really, like he (LJT) had imagined, successfully passed the tests of mounting the mountain of daggers and going through the sea of flames. The remaining test was to enter the dragon pool, which was their chance.
“What are you all going to do?” Elder Teng Yuan looked at Longze Jing Tian. He knew that this young man was the leader of the three. Although he (LJT) didn’t have much to say, the other two seemed to listen to him (LJT).
“Elder, we need your help!”
“Help? Alright, but you all have to eat this.” Elder Teng Yuan opened his hands, and there were three pills lying inside.
“What is this?” Taji Guli was shocked after seeing elder Teng Yuan like this, “Old man, what do you mean?”
“Feng Qi Qi told me that this Immortal cream isn’t a good thing, but a poison that controls people’s hearts and makes people addicted. This is premeditated right?! You just want to get addicted to he drug to control me, right?”
Elder Teng Yuan looked at the three people in front of him, especially Duyi. When he (TY) said these words, Duyi’s eyes flickered once, and he (TY) had a conclusion in his heart. It seemed that what Feng Qi Qi said was tight. The purpose of these people was indeed so despicable.
“Elder, what are you saying?! Don’t listen to Feng Qi Qi. Don’t you know better than us what the Immortal cream is!” Duyi smiled cunningly, but elder Teng Yuan wasn’t someone who was easily botched.
“It’s possible to let me believe you all. Eat the gu. I will believe you all then!”
It turned out that the pills in the hand of elder Teng Yuan weren’t medicine pills, but the eggs of gu. Listening to what he (TY) said, made Taji Guli immediately nauseous. It was really disgusting. He (TY) actually wanted them to eat gu, “Elder Teng Yuan, what‘s the meaning of this? Feng Qi Qi is clearly provoking the relationships between us. Why do you believe her so much rather than us?”
The usual friendly look of Elder Teng Yuan had disappeared and looked a bit gloomy now. “If you don’t eat it means that you harbors ulterior motives!”
“How do we know that elder is still on our side? What if elder is bribed by Feng Qi Qi and just wants to deceive us to eat the gu, and then take our lives? Elder, don’t you agree?” Duyi didn’t react as extreme as Taji Guli. Though he was smiling, his words were full of thorns.
“If I partner with Feng Qi Qi, do you think you all are still safe and sound here? After you all eat it, I’ll definitely help you all get rid of the gu. Could it be that you don’t trust me?”
The answer was definitely a yes. On all three people’s faces were written ‘We don’t believe you’. This was an indirect refusal and confirmed elder Teng Yuan’s inners thoughts even more. It wasn’t gu in his palm, but just ordinary medicine pills. It was only used to test them. But didn’t expect them to not be able to withstand the test. It seemed that Feng Qi Qi was right.
Elder Teng Yuan stared at these three people. His expression was a little weird, but in the end, he still put away the pills. “Since you all don’t want to eat, I won’t force you anymore. However, we don’t trust each other, so there’s no need for us to continue our mutual benefit. You all can leave!”
The faces of the three weren’t good when elder Teng Yuan suddenly asked them to leave. You must know that although Gu Yun Wan was found, the people of Qiang tribe didn’t give up on the search of the culprit. Everyone was very angry at the injury of Gu Yun Wan. Every day, a small group of Qiang tribe’s people patrolled the White Bird mountain. Elder Teng Yuan drove them out at this moment, he undoubtedly wanted to cut off their relationship, and drove them to a dead end.
“Is elder not afraid that we might give you away after we are caught?” Longze Jing Tian, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth, “I heard that the Qiang tribe’s punishment for traitors is very grave. If chief Gu De knows that you let us kidnapped Gu Yun Wan, you say, can Gu De still tolerate you?”
The true colors of Longze Jing Tian made elder Teng Yuan feel that this person was a shameless person. It was obvious that the three of them kidnapped Gu Yun Wan, but it had now turned into his, elder Teng Yuan’s idea. It seemed that these people were really ungrateful. He really couldn’t tell people apart.
However, they had forgotten that he (TY) was the most arrogant elder Teng Yuan of the Qiang tribe, how could he (TY) be threatened by them. “Thinking of our friendly relations, I’ll let you all go. If you still don’t leave, I’ll put gu on you all. Do you all like the feeling of being bitten by gu worms?”
As soon as the voice dropped, a fleshy worm appeared in the hand of Elder Teng Yuan. Taji Guli was frightened and then looked at Longze Jing Tian.
“Let’s go!” Longze Jing Tian knew that elder Teng Yuan wasn’t joking with them. After a deep look at elder Teng Yuan, Longze Jing Tian took Duyi and Taji Guli, and left elder Teng Yuan’s house.
After the three left, Elder Teng Yuan took out the Immortal cream and sighed. He didn’t even know that such a good thing was poison, and would make people addicted. Now, his body’s drug withdrawal symptoms occurred again. He couldn’t help but wanted to put some in the tobacco pipe and smoked it. But when his hand opened the box lid, that pretty face of Feng Qi Qi , and the words that she said suddenly appeared in front of him
On one side was the temptation of the Immortal cream, and on the other side was the words of Feng Qi Qi. It was difficult for Elder Teng Yuan to choose.
Just a little bit…. Elder Teng Yuan was already shaking a bit. When he was about to scoop out the Immortal cream, a gust of wind swept over and the Immortal cream fell off of his hand. When he looked up again, Gu De and Feng Qi Qi were standing in front of him.
“Ch…Chief….” The hand of elder Teng Yuan couldn’t stop trembling, but at this moment the Immortal cream was more important to him. He crawled on the ground and reached out to pick up the Immortal cream that was smacked to the ground by Gu De. But just as he was about to reach it, it was kicked farther away by Gu De.
“Princess, I have trouble you!”
Gu De was heartbroken after seeing the appearance of elder Teng Yuan. Previously, Gu De thought that the opium that Feng Qi Qi had mentioned was just an ordinary addictive drug. Now, seeing Elder Teng Yuan looking like this because of the Immortal cream, Gu De detested the Immortal cream bitterly.
“Someone. Seal the mountain and go find the whereabouts of the three!”
It turned out that Feng Qi Qi had long noticed that elder Teng Yuan was suspicious. But because he was the elder of the Qiang tribe, so Feng Qi Qi informed Gu De about it. Therefore, Gu De had sent some people to watch over elder Teng Yuan, but didn’t expect the truth of the matter to be like this.
Feng Qi Qi also didn’t expect that the person who gave Elder Teng Yuan the Immortal cream would be Longze Jing Tian, not to mention Taji Guli and Duyi were also here. It seemed that these three people were really unbeatable cockroaches with strong vitality!
At this moment, Elder Teng Yuan’s face was already covered in tears and snots. The symptoms of drug withdrawal started again and he couldn’t control it. But the sanity left in his mind didn’t let him snatch the Immortal cream from Gu De’s hand.
“Please help me put elder Teng Yuan on the bed and bound his hands and feet.”
Immediately, four people came up and put elder Teng Yuan on the bed, and tied the hands and feet of Elder Teng Yuan to the bed frame with a rope. On the way here, Gu De already said to the people to obey Feng Qi Qi‘s orders, even if her request was too much. Gu De didn’t speak, so the four men did according to the instructions of Feng Qi Qi.
“Give me, give me a little… I beg you….”
At this moment, elder Teng Yuan had no longer the appearance that a tribe’s elder should have. He looked so poor and so fragile. No one had ever seen Elder Teng Yuan like this before.
“Please, give me a little, a little bit is alright….”
Even though Gu De once suspected the ability of opium, but seeing such an appearance of Elder Teng Yuan now. This kind of suspicion also flew beyond the topmost clouds and became the absolute belief in Feng Qi Qi. It was indeed a terrible poison. It could actually make people like this… with no self-respect.
Beyond the topmost clouds: unimaginably far away.
“I beg you….”
The withdrawal symptoms came up like ten thousand ant bites. Elder Teng Yuan felt very uncomfortable. He had never tried this kind of taste where living was worse than death. Now, he could only look thirstily at the Immortal cream in Gu De’s hands. His eyes were full of longing, “Give me, give me the Immortal cream!”
Not waiting for elder Teng Yuan to struggle, the silver needle of Feng Qi Qi had been inserted into his body. It made elder Teng Yuan, who was about to fall apart, under control.
“His drug addiction is only moderate, it can still be cured.”
The words of Feng Qi Qi made Gu De calm down. It was good that there was a way to solve the problem. He was worried that this Immortal cream was incurable. Elder Teng Yuan would then really be ruined.
The matter that elder Teng Yuan became addicted to drugs was soon made public by Gu De. In the beginning, the other elders didn’t believe it. But when they came to the home of elder Teng Yuan and saw the appearance of that old man on the bed, the elders were shocked.
“There’s actually such a terrible poison in the world? If such a poison is used as a bad thing, the world will be disrupted!” The great elder had an implacable hate towards the Immortal cream after seeing the immortal cream. Other elders also nodded repeatedly and classified the Immortal cream as a poison.
“Who is the person who poisoned Elder Teng Yuan? Who have such deep hatred toward him?”
After fifth elder said this, Feng Qi Qi told the whole story to them. As soon as they heard that the three men turned out to be fugitives of the mainland, the four elders immediately became furious.
“They have fled to our White Bird mountain. Do they think our Qiang tribe’s people are easy to bully?! Chief, Longze Jing Tian and the others provoked our Qiang tribe over and over again. First, kidnapping great miss and now they made Teng Yuan become addicted to drugs. What sort of place do these people think our Qiang tribe is? I urge the chief to let us go into the mountains and find these three bastards, and kill them to avenge great miss and Teng Yuan!”
The words of great elder was approved by the other elders. Such a hateful people should be seized and be killed!
“Good!” Gu De also didn’t have a good impression of the three people. They actually caused harm to Gu Yun Wan. Gu De was so desperate and wished he could personally catch them and end their lives.
The people of Qiang tribe were furious when they knew elder Teng Yuan had been harmed, especially when they knew that the people who harmed elder Teng Yuan and the people who captured Gu Yun Wan were the same people. Public outrage was aroused, so everyone voluntarily went up the mountain to find those three ‘evil persons’.
Chapter 204 (Part 2) Love is in sky of affection (3)
“How was it?” Gu De and the four elders were waiting at the side. After seeing Feng Qi Qi perform the acupuncture, everyone was surprised.
They had never seen such exquisite medical skills. Those silver needles were flying in the hands of Feng Qi Qi and landed exactly on the acupuncture points of elder Teng Yuan. Accurate to perfection, it made these people broaden their horizons.
Accurate to perfection: precise to the finest detail.
“This old man thought that princess Zhen Guo was a weak woman, but didn’t expect it….”
The words of fifth elder spoke out the thoughts of everyone. Feng Qi Qi’s method was fast and accurate, and there was a right amount of strength. How was this a weak woman? It was clearly a martial arts master and also a medical expert. Immediately, the recognition of Feng Qi Qi rose to a very high level in the hearts of these elders.
After waiting for an hour, Feng Qi Qi finally retrieved the silver needles from the body of elder Teng Yuan. Elder Teng Yuan’s madness of just a moment ago had also disappeared, and he slowly felt asleep.
“Thanks a lot, Princess!” Gu De stepped forward and bowed to Feng Qi Qi. Although Elder Teng Yuan did wrong, he (TY) once taught Gu De the method of gu. Now, seeing that he (TY) had been used by people and became like this, it made Gu De very worried about elder Teng Yuan.
After seeing the medical treatment of Feng Qi Qi, Gu De’s worries were completely gone. Elder Teng Yuan was in good health. The Qiang tribe owed Feng Qi Qi a favor. “Thank you!”
“Chief doesn’t need to be polite. It’s a very slight effort. It’s what I should do.”
After seeing the ‘extraordinary methods’ of Feng Qi Qi and seeing her be so modest, the good impression of the four elders who was standing aside, of Feng Qi Qi rose a lot again. They lived in White Bird mountain for generations, and didn’t like complicated conflicts and the scheming against one another. The four elders really liked such a simple person like Feng Qi Qi.
“Not good!” While everyone was talking, Su Mei rushed in and looked anxious. “Miss, it’s not good! Little shizi1 is gone!”
“What happened?”
Su Mei’s words made Feng Qi Qi shcked and immediately grabbed Su Mei’s hand, “What happened?”
“Miss, I just bathed little shizi and went out to throw out the water. After I returned to the house, little shizi had disappeared! Guye2 has already gone to find little shizi!”
That Su Mei said so, made Feng Qi Qi’s face sank. She (FQQ) had already guessed who captured Feng Xiao. It must be Longze Jing Tian and the others.
“Let’s go!”
One after another, Su Mei and Feng Qi Qi left the bamboo building. Seeing Feng Qi Qi in the fluttering red dress and just barely touched the ground, she had already reached a hundred meters away, Gu De and the others even more surprised.
“Chief, let us help too!”
“Good!” Gu De and the four elders followed closely behind.
Just by following, made Gu De and the four elders even more amazed by Feng Qi Qi. She was just a 17 to 18-year-old woman. Why was her qinggong3 so good?
The four elders were all experts from the Qiang tribe, but they were all left far behind Feng Qi Qi. This time, the shock that Feng Qi Qi brought to them was already hard to express in words. Such an expert but so subtle and restrained, was rare in the younger generations.
Feng Qi Qi followed Su Mei and following the message left by Feng Cang, they finally came to the millennium cold pool at the foot of White bird Mountain. The moment they arrived, Feng Cang and Longze Jing Tian were standing opposite each other. Taji Guli stood on the left side of Longze Jing Tian, while Duyi on the right side and Feng Xiao was being held by Longze Jing Tian.
“As expected, it’s you!” Seeing Longze Jing Tian again, Feng Qi Qi felt that he had changed a lot.
Although the Longze Jing Tian from the past couldn’t be a friend, but he was also not an enemy. However, the current Longze Jing Tian standing like that, regardless of imposing manners or attitudes, was completely different from the past, especially when Feng Qi Qi saw Feng Xiao in the arms of Longze Jing Tian, she almost screamed.
Soon after, Gu De and the elders rushed over. Even Ming Yue Cheng and Wanyan Kang who had heard the news, also arrived here. Everyone surrounded Longze Jing Tian and the others, but no one dared to move. Because the hand of Longze Jing Tian was placed on the head of Feng Xiao.
“You have come….”
The voice of Longze Jing Tian was a little hoarse. He (LJT) didn’t expect that elder Teng Yuan would betray them at the crucial moment, and even more that Feng Cang would follow so soon. It would be very hard to get out with so many masters around them.
Feng Qi Qi didn’t answer Longze Jing Tian. At this moment, her eyes were eagerly watching Feng Xiao who was in the arms of Longze Jing Tian. That child didn’t seem to know that he was in danger. He was just playing with the small golden bell with on his wrist with his own small chubby hands producing sharp and clear sound.
“Put down Feng Xiao and I’ll give you a way to survive.” Feng Cang stood next to Feng Qi Qi and looked at Longze Jing Tian. If it weren’t because Feng Xiao was in their hands, he would have already ground the bones of these three people in front of him to dust.
“A way to survive? By this moment, do you think I still care about life or death?
When Longze Jing Tian and Feng Cang were talking, Taji Guli’s eyes were smitten with Feng Cang. He was still so charming, but his cold eyes deeply hurt the heart of Taji Guli. From the beginning to the present, he didn’t look at Taji Guli at all. How could she not be upset?
“Feng Cang!”
Taji Guli called out the name of Feng Cang. Her voice trembled slightly, so the sound on the last word almost broke.
Feng Cang didn’t look at Taji Guli. This woman had long been defeated by him. Now that she had colluded with Longze Jing Tian, Feng Cang couldn’t wait to kill her. Why should he pay attention to her at this time?
The indifference of Feng Cang made Taji Guli’s heart chilly. She didn’t think that Feng Cang’s attitude towards herself was like this. Previously, she had secretly observed the attitude of Feng Cang towards Feng Qi Qi. Such a gentle and affectionate man would only appear in the dream of Taji Guli. Now, with his cold face, he didn’t bother to look at her. It made Taji Guli’s heart very painful.
“Feng Cang, I’m Taji Guli. Look at me, alright?”
It was said that love made people petty and low like the dust. Taji Guli felt that she was like a female slave creeping on the ground and looked pettily at the highly Feng Cang. She had already trampled on her own self-esteem like this; why was Feng Cang still so mean and unwilling to distribute some love to her?
“Shameless!”
When Su Mei saw Taji Guli like this, she readily uttered a curse. Su Mei’s words immediately received a response from Wanyan Kang, “Agree, she’s really shameless! Who is this ugly person? If benwang4 was this ugly, I’ll definitely hide at home and wouldn’t come out to see anybody! Don’t know how her parents raised her!”
Su Mei smiled at the words of Wanyan Kang and added a sentence at the back, “Husband, how can you talk like that of other people’s parents! Which parents don’t want their children to be well? If the seeds were good, I don’t know how one became like this at the later age. I think, this is a problem of the person herself!”
“Yes, yes, wifey is right! Can’t blame the parents for the people becoming lowly! Besides, her parents died early, when did they had the time to teach her how to be a good person?!”
This couple echoed one another and scolded Taji Gul making her have cuts and bruises all over (figuratively). This made Taji Guli very furious that she shouted and attacked Su Mei.
“Tsk, tsk, so ugly and still want to fight me! Considering that you only have one hand, I’ll also use one hand to fight you! I don’t want others to say that I bully people with disabilities. If this gets out it won’t be good to my reputation!”
