Venerated Venomous Consort

After Gu Xijiu left, Spiritual Master Yuhang immediately visited Qing Luo. From afar, he could hear her screaming in pain. She screamed and shouted desperately, like an animal. He was a little embarrassed by her dramatic reactions, but he would not give up on his disciple so easily, so he decided to consult Master Fengxing, who was an expert in medicine, about the cure.

Helplessly, Master Fengxing frowned at him. “I am afraid that there is no cure for this sort of poison.”

Spiritual Master Yuhang was shocked to the core.

Si Qing suggested, “There is. When both of us were unfortunately affected by the Cherry Blossom Snake Poison, it was Chongsheng, the mysterious grimace woman, who saved our lives.”

Master Fengxing frowned. He had heard about them being affected by a kind of poison and that they were fortunately cured, so he did not pay much attention to the details of the incident. He only thought of it as a normal type of poison, little did he know that it was actually the Cherry Blossom Snake Poison.

“The main problem is the base of the cure. The cure must be made from the poison of the particular snake itself. The Cherry Blossom Snake is a rare species, so it is difficult to be captured. The chances of survival after the hunt of the snake are very slim. Moreover, it is so rare to find. How are we supposed to collect the snake and make the cure? Once you are bitten, death is but a sure thing,” he answered slowly.

Spiritual Master Yuhang’s expression changed upon hearing his explanation. He took a look at Qing Luo, who was critically ill with a faint breath of life. Her breathing was slow and painful due to the immense pain. Suddenly, he was lost, not knowing what to do for her.

Si Qing was shocked too. He then took a small bottle out and said, “About this, it is a bottle of poison, given by our eldest senior disciple last time. I think there should be some remaining. I wonder if we can still use it.”

Master Fengxing immediately took the bottle from him and observed it closely. “It is usable. The content is, however, too little. It is only enough to make half a portion of the cure,” he swiftly concluded. Half was better than none, so Spiritual Master Yuhang earnestly requested for him to make the cure as soon as possible.

The urgency to rescue a life was similar to that of firefighting, where every second counted. Hence, Master Fengxing did not delay the rescue. He took the bottle and was ready to proceed. All of a sudden, there came an announcement, “The eldest senior apprentice is back!”

Master Fengxing’s expression changed a little. Just recently, they had been busy plotting against the mysterious woman. They kept the plan away from Shen Nianmo, as they were worried that he might stop it. Therefore, Master Fengxing had to play a trick by falsely announcing the whereabouts of the young palace master so that he could send Shen Nianmo away.

In fact, he sent him away to the third heaven. The distance from his place to the third heaven was thousands of miles apart. Even with Shen Nianmo’s speed, he would only be able to make it back in at least a day.

In the morning, Master Fengxing had even chatted with Shen Nianmo about his situation and found out that he was still wandering in the third heaven while busy looking for the whereabouts of the young palace master.

However, on the very same day, it seemed that Shen Nianmo was back! Someone must have notified him; otherwise, he would not make his way back so quickly.

Spiritual Master Yuhang looked at Si Qing with stern but suspicious eyes. “It was I. I told the eldest senior apprentice that the mysterious grimace woman was here,” he nervously confessed. Spiritual Master Yuhang was frustrated with Si Qing. He wished he could slap him for his ludicrous mistake.

The battle was already over. There were many ruins left behind by the violent fight. Blood could be seen everywhere. It was not hard to imagine how difficult the battle must have been.

Shen Nianmo’s face turned pale. His fingers trembled in anxiety. Luckily, he found out that Gu Xijiu was not vitally harmed from his junior apprentices’ excessive discussions about the battle. She was only severely injured.

He tried to calm himself down. With his directed audio spell, he decided to get in touch with her by making a call.

The directed audio spell flickered continuously in his hand, but no one picked up. Anxiously, he continued to make many calls, but the result remained the same. The calls were unanswered.

Was she unconscious due to the severity of her injuries? Did she lose the directed audio spell in the batter or did she destroy it?
