Chapter 144: The Surge of Dead Spirits
Chapter 144: The Surge of Dead Spirits
"puff!"
When their bodies touched, the blood on Mu Qingyao's arm suddenly turned into a stream of death energy and penetrated into Ye Qi's body. In order to seal the coffin just now, he had almost exhausted the only trace of spiritual power in his body. Now facing the death energy coming from Mu Qingyao, he could no longer resist.
As soon as the death energy entered her body, a mouthful of blood gushed out and landed on Mu Qingyao's snow-white neck. Mu Qingyao suddenly felt a warm current entering her body, and she calmed down. She subconsciously reached out and touched her neck, but unexpectedly her hands were covered in blood. She was so scared that she staggered and fell backwards while kneeling on the ground.
After realizing that it was the blood that Ye Qi spat out of his mouth, Mu Qingyao discovered that the black blood flowing from her arm turned into death energy and entered his body. Feeling helpless, she ran out in a panic!
Only Ye Qi was left kneeling on the spot with a grim face, clenching his fists and venting the severe pain in his body on the stone bricks on the ground.
"Brother! What are you doing here?"
Suddenly, a young girl's tender voice came from outside the stone gate. Ye Qi looked up and saw that it was Du Youyou. He immediately panicked. After all, he had failed her before. Although he didn't know why she survived, it was indeed because of his desertion that her life was in danger!
"I... feel a little unwell..."
After hearing this, Du Youyou squatted down, her already petite body, and handed over a small jade bottle. Her big eyes blinked innocently as she said, "This is our family's healing elixir. It can clear the air and heal internal injuries. Give it a try!"
"Thank you, Miss Du!"
Ye Qi saw that her eyes were extremely clear and pure. Although he didn't know why the girl in front of him was so different before and after, he knew that eyes would never lie. So he took it without hesitation and drank the medicine inside. He immediately felt a bitter taste rushing into his nose. In order not to lose his composure in front of outsiders, he had to endure the nasal feeling and was so sad that he couldn't cry!
"Pfft! Judging from your appearance, you seem to like the taste quite well!"
“It tastes… delicious!”
"Finally finished another bottle! That's great! Hehehe!" Du Youyou looked at him with an unsatisfied look and whispered with joy.
"What do you mean 'great'? Miss Du's medicine is quite effective. Although it didn't completely cure the disease, the pain in my meridians is no longer as severe!"
After Ye Qi drank the medicine, he found that although the dead energy in his body was not relieved, his meridians became much more resilient and no longer as swollen and painful as before. With his Yin Si Fu's suppression method, it was only a matter of time to drain the dead energy. This crisis was finally resolved!
"How do you know my last name is Du? Although my name is no secret, it still feels bad to pry into a girl's privacy!" Du Youyou suddenly asked.
"Uh! Haven't we been together before?" Ye Qi was also very confused. It was bad enough that his personality was so different before, but now he has lost his memory!
However, Ye Qi's words made Du Youyou blush and she tilted her head to tidy up her hair. She asked tentatively, "Are we... together?"
"That's right! But after what happened last time... I was indeed a bit irresponsible and let the girl down. You can beat me or kill me as you please!"
"That thing happened... was irresponsible... let me down? How come I don't have any impression of it? But even though that memory is missing, it does give me a very familiar feeling!" Du Youyou's cheeks and ears suddenly became redder, like a red apple, making people want to take a bite!
"Ruoruo! Did this kid bully you?"
The big guy outside the door saw that something was wrong inside. The usually lively junior sister unexpectedly became silent. Although he didn't hear what they said, he always felt uneasy in his heart, as if the junior sister was being bullied.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I came in, I saw that my junior sister's cheeks were red as if she had been slapped a few times, and her head, which never lowered, was now squatting on the ground and buried between her legs, as if she was too scared to look up after being beaten!
"I……"
"No... no... Senior Brother, have I met him before a few days ago?"
"I don't know. We lost contact for a few days after we entered here. I don't know what happened during those days. Were you together during that time?" The big guy scratched his head and answered with some confusion.
"It seems she came out during that time!"
Du Youyou's eyes suddenly became filled with some hostility. Although she knew that there was another person inside her body, it was an undeniable fact that they shared the same body. If it was really as he said, and it was the other her in her body who used her body to do this kind of thing, then wouldn't she be... too embarrassed!
"Miss Du! What's wrong with you?"
"Uh! No... nothing... Since you're okay, let's leave! That coffin looks pretty creepy!"
Du Youyou turned her back with a red face, found an excuse, and pulled her senior brother out the door. However, after walking out of the stone gate, she did not leave. Instead, she leaned against the wall outside the stone gate, took a few deep breaths, and waited quietly for Ye Qi to come out.
Although I don't know why I'm waiting for him, I subconsciously want to wait for him to come out and travel with me. At least in this ancient palace full of dangers, he is one of the few friends!
At the same time, she also wanted to confirm whether she had misunderstood what he said. Seeing him come out, she immediately stood in front of him, lowered her head, and asked shyly, "Were we really together before?"
"You lost your memory? Didn't we soak in the spiritual spring together that night?"
Ye Qi looked at Du Youyou in confusion. In just a few days, she had changed so much. How could she even have lost her memory? It was a good thing, though. Given her temper before she lost her memory, if she still remembered that incident, she would have cut him into pieces!
"What did you say? You and your junior sister are soaking in the spiritual spring together at night? You are courting death!"
As the big guy said this, he punched Ye Qi hard. Before Ye Qi could react, his body slammed into the stone wall behind him. His bones felt like they were broken, sore and weak, without any feeling at all. His brain went blank in an instant, and he saw stars and looked dazed.
Seeing this, Du Youyou hurriedly stopped his senior brother and said, "Senior brother! Don't... don't hurt him!"
The big guy angrily threw Ye Qi to the ground and asked, "Junior sister! Are you in love with him?"
"He couldn't force me to do that. Maybe... I did it voluntarily!"
