Chapter 1154: Ghost Saint Nation 115
rward to apologize. Dugu City glared at him, "Hurry up and follow."The moment County Princess Zhaoran stepped out of the bath, she saw Feng Lingxi standing outside the door. Seeing her, for some reas..."Ayan, you're not like that."
Luo Li's eyes were firm, "If you truly had feelings, I wouldn't kill you."
Li Wuyan chuckled self-deprecatingly, "How can you be sure when I don't even know myself."
“If you really don’t want to harm Feng Lingxi, then just let her go. My people have just found out that Dugu City has been sending people to look for a Miaojiang witch doctor these days. If you don't want to kill her, have that person remove the poison.”
Li Wu Yan didn't speak. Luo Li understood him, and he understood Li Wu Yan as well. It was precisely because they understood each other so well, and because they shared the same pain, that their feelings for each other were so deep.
"I want to know, Elder, did you really intend for me to take away Wan'er ten years later to have her inherit the position of chieftain of the Yao Clan, or was there another motive What exactly was the treasure that Yao Wan'ying stole" Li Wu-yan asked. After finishing his question, Luo Li suddenly laughed.
"Ayan, these things are not for you to know. I can only tell you that Wan'er calls me master, and I will not kill her. As for her importance to the Yao clan, I can only say that she is the future of the Yao clan."
After all that was said, Luo Li also understood Li Wu Yan's meaning. He was unwilling to kill Feng Ling Xi, and for him, Feng Ling Xi's life or death was indeed not so important.
She still has some use to the Yao clan. As for everything she's been through, it can only be said that she shouldn't have been born as Yao Wan Ying's daughter. If not for Yao Wan Ying, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
"I've said what I needed to say, the rest is up to you. As a friend, I'll warn you, love is something you can't mess with."
Luo Li got up and left, Li Wu Yan called out to him.
"Do not disturb the wind."
With every step Luoli took, she slowed down. A flicker of coldness appeared in her eyes. Li Wu-yan's voice echoed again, "She is still useful to me. My poison needs her help."
"Good."
Luo Li agreed to him and left the inn. Li Wu Yan sat there for a long time before finally getting up and leaving.
Outside Linxi County, Dugu City and others followed Ye Xi on horseback, avoiding prying eyes. They passed through several mountains, a small river, and a grove of maple trees before reaching the depths of a mountain valley.
At the foot of the mountain, a man stood waiting. It was Shangguan Huan; he had been calculating the time and waiting for them here. Seeing them arrive, he hurried forward to greet them.
"Shangguan."
"My lord, my lady," Shangguan Huan shouted, looking at Feng Lingxi who was asleep in Dugu Cheng's arms, "I have spoken to the witch doctor, and told her about your lady's condition. She has agreed to save her."
"Wonderful! Let's go now," said Dugu Cheng with a face full of joy.
"Wait a minute."
Shangguan Huan stopped them, and Dugu City turned his head, "What's wrong"
“The valley is full of venomous insects, snakes, and ants. Follow me closely and remember to be careful not to touch anything.”
"Hmm."
Dugu Cheng watched Shangguan Huan's earnest gaze, letting him lead the way. A line of people followed behind. This forest had no roads, with many maple leaves, flowers and trees flourishing everywhere. It was just that many of the plants were unlike any he had ever seen before.
Dugu City looked at the surroundings. Although it seemed picturesque, there were hidden dangers everywhere. The snakes coiled around the branches on the trees and the spiders spinning silk on the leaves were all deadly poisons.
"My lord, this sorcerer was once a very skilled practitioner of witchcraft and sorcery in the Miao region. Because of some matters, he fled here and was pursued. Afterward, he hid here. I learned about him from a friend."
"If you can cure Xi'er of the poison within her body, this King will be completely satisfied."
Dugu City looked at the woman in his arms. She slept much longer today than yesterday. Even with all the bumps along the way, she could sleep so soundly. Dugu City didn't know to what extent Xi'er was like this.
"Right in front of you."
Shangguan Huan pointed to the exit of the forest ahead. "We're almost there. There's a wooden house over there. When you meet the sorcerer, be careful with your words. He doesn't have a good temper."
Dugu City responded, as long as he could cure Xi'er, there was nothing he couldn't control.
As soon as they left the woods, they saw a wooden hut. Dugu City took Feng Ling Xi over and dismounted. He held Feng Ling Xi and followed behind Shangguan Huan. Shangguan Huan stepped forward and knocked on the door, shouting, "Master Pasha."
A middle-aged man in Hanfu walked out, saw Feng Lingxi in Dugu City's arms, took a closer look, and said, "Put her on the bed."
Dugu Cheng hurriedly thanked him, holding Feng Lingxi onto the bed. He turned to look at Pasha who followed behind, wanting to speak but remembering Shangguan Huan's reminder, he could only hold back.
"Pasha, this is the Fourth Prince of Linxi County, and his wife is the very Fourth Princess I mentioned to you."
"I know her."
Pasa interrupted Shangguan Huan's words, "When I went out, I heard about her. They said she was a skilled doctor, how could she end up like this"
As Pasha spoke, he had already stepped forward to diagnose Feng Lingxi's pulse. He remained silent. Shangguan Huan looked at Dugu City, "Your Highness, would you please tell Pasha's wife about the process of her poisoning"
Du Gu Cheng hurriedly told Pasa everything that had happened to Xi'er, from the moment she was poisoned to now. He watched as Pasa frowned, silent and worried, wondering if Pasa could actually save Xi'er.
A moment later, Pasha rose to his feet.
“The worm in her body had just taken shape. This kind of worm wasn't common in Miaojiang, it was called 'Foolish'. Once a person was infected with Foolish, their intelligence would decrease along with their mental state, they would forget people and things, eat and sleep excessively. The more they ate and slept, the faster the worm grew inside them. When she stopped eating and sleeping, the worm inside her would begin to devour her five internal organs and six bowels. One night, she would be completely exhausted, which made it one of the most powerful poisons in Miaojiang's gu poison.”
"This is so terrifying, Master Napatcha. Is my sister still salvageable like this"
Feng Yu Mo was so frightened, he had never heard of such a terrifying poison before.
"The person who poisoned her probably didn't want to kill her, but rather control her."
Duke City was puzzled, he bowed to Pasha and asked, "Master Pasha, have you been able to find out who might have used the poison"
"According to what you said, your wife was poisoned with a gu before being hit with Hejiu. This poison, if it lingers for too long, is incurable. The person who administered the gu probably did so because of the Hejiu already present in her body."
Master Pasha's words shocked Dugu Cheng. If that was the case, Li Wuyan wasn't trying to kill Xi'er; he just had never heard of Li Wuyan being able to use poison.
"Master Pasha, if Xier's poison is cured, will she be able to return to normal"
It will take three days to cure the poison.
"I need to prepare some herbs for her," Pasha said. "In three days, the worms inside her body will absorb all the residual poison from the Confluence Curse. Then, once we perform the antidotal ritual, she'll be fine."
"I implore Master Pasha to come to our aid."
Pasha glanced at Shangguan Huan and nodded, "Rest assured, since I let you in, I will naturally save her. Moreover, Shangguan has promised me something. After saving the Fourth Princess, I'll ask the Fourth Princess for this reward."
> nodded, "Go ahead."Feng Aotien, hearing Feng Yumuo wanted to speak with him, seemed to see hope. He hurriedly said, "Yumuo, father has something to say to you.""I also have something to say to you. L...
