Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

A layer of white light appeared on the horizon, and Baishui Village seemed to have awakened from a deep sleep, becoming noisy.

“Someone is coming.” Liu Ruoxi stood up vigilantly and listened. “There are many of them.”

From a distance, the villagers of Baishui Village appeared one by one like a tidal wave.

Running in the forefront was Wang Dachui, the village chief following him closely.

As soon as Wang Dachui arrived, he looked at Huihui on the sacrificial platform. “Huihui!”

He roared and rushed forward..

Looking at Huihui, who had been tortured into an unrecognizable appearance in front of him, Wang Dachui called out again in heartbreak, “Huihui, what happened to you?!”

Liu Ruoxi frowned and walked over. “She was used by Liu Yuling to test medicine. I’m afraid she won’t live long.”

Liu Ruoxi’s words made Wang Dachui’s face twisted together in pain. “Who is Liu Yuling?!”

“That’s him.” The village chief looked at Liu Yuling’s corpse on the ground with a lacklustre expression. “The Dragon Deity that the Baishui Village has always been worshipping.”

These words shocked all the of the villagers.

“The Dragon Deity is fake, fabricated by our ancestors.” The village chief sighed and turned to look at the villagers as if he had made up his mind. “The ancestors fabricated this lie to protect us, but it was used by Liu Yuling to do evil.”

“Dagou! What’s wrong with you, Dagou?!” An old woman threw herself on Dagou with tears in her eyes and began to wail.

Liu Ruoxi bit her lower lip and said, “It was he who killed Liu Yuling. It was a worthy death.”

As if she hadn’t heard what she said, the old woman continued to bitterly cry while holding Dagou’s dead body.

Wang Dachui finally digested the scene before him and the words of the village chief. He looked at the village chief, his tone a little unstable, “You knew…… the Dragon Deity is not real?”

The village chief nodded heavily.

“And you still…… let us do the sacrifice?” Wang Dachui’s voice has changed a little.

The village chief’s fists were tightly clenched. He painfully closed his eyes, but still nodded. “I know….. my sins are great. I won’t ask everyone to forgive me, but now, you should all take your family members and leave Baishui Village.”

With these words, the village chief sprinted and slammed himself into the sacrificial platform.

Then with a loud “bang”, the village chief fell down with a hole on his forehead that was trickling with blood.

The villagers were so shocked by the sudden happenings that they froze in place, and it took a long time before they rushed up like waking up from a dream. “Village chief! Village chief——”

Liu Ruoxi glanced at the dying village chief, frowned in sadness and turned away.

“It’s all my fault……” The village chief said anguishedly. “If I hadn’t saved him back then, I wouldn’t have killed your family. It’s me…… I’m sorry to all of you……”

After the village chief said these words, he finally closed his eyes.

Wang Dachui stared blankly at the village chief who took his last breath. His eyes were red. He choked up and said, “Take the village chief and Dagou first…… to bury them……”

Ling Long looked up at them and then retracted his eyes.

When the villagers finished burying Dagou and the village chief, the sun had already risen completely. The entire Baishui Village was bathed in sunlight, but no one felt the warmth.

Wang Dachui picked up Huihui and walked to Ling Long’s side. He looked at Yin Yin, who was pale in Ling Long’s arms, and asked, “What’s wrong with Miss Xiaoya?”

Ling Long deliberated for a moment, and squeezed out a sound from his throat, “You’d better take advantage of this now and go quickly.”

Wang Dachui was subconsciously stunned in place.

Not only because of what Ling Long had said, but also because of Ling Long’s suppressed murderous aura.

He said sorry, and left the sacrificial platform with the villagers.

Yin Yin in his arms suddenly moved. Ling Long was startled and called nervously, “Faintly?”

Yin Yin’s forehead began to exude a layer of cold sweat again. Ling Long’s eyebrows wrinkled with worry. Is the poison starting to attack again? Why so often?

He gave Yin Yin the pill that Jia Qing gave him, and he let out a sigh of relief when he watched her finally settle down again.

If Jia Qing did not come back soon, what should he do the next time the poison broke out?

Liu Ruoxi looked at them and said, “I’ll go down and see how they are.”

Liu Ruoxi walked towards the entrance of the tunnel but she heard a muffled voice coming from the ground, “No need. We have already returned.”

Ling Long raised his head abruptly, staring at the exit without blinking.

Jia Renyi jumped out from inside and then pulled Jia Qing who was following behind him.

The clothes of the two of them were a little damaged and looked like they had been cut by a sharp weapon, but fortunately, there were no wounds on their bodies.

“I just said that Liu Yuling will definitely set up mechanisms in the secret passage.” Jia Qing lightly swept down the slope.

“Have you found the antidote?” Ling Long looked at Jia Qing with burning eyes.

Jia Qing jumped down from the small slope and shook his head. “No.”

Ling Long’s eyes sank.

Jia Qing added, “But I found the poison.”

……

Ling Long took a deep breath and then asked, “What’s the conclusion?”

“I have found out which ten kinds of poisonous insects are in the poison, but……” Jia Qing paused. “I can’t find out what kind of guiding medicine Liu Yuling had used. In fact, except for ten kinds of poisonous insects, there is nothing else in this poison.”

Ling Long furrowed his brows and said, “Could it be that there is no guiding medicine?”

“No.” Jia Qing shook his head again. Then he took out a piece of paper from his sleeves and unfolded it. “But I also found this. It looks like a medicine formula.”

“Looks like?”

“Well…… because I can’t understand the words on it.” Jia Qing’s expression looked a bit distressed.

Liu Ruoxi thought for a while and took the paper in Jia Qing’s hand. “Let me see.”

Jia Qing glanced at her unexpectedly. “Do you know this kind of writing?”

Liu Ruoxi didn’t answer his question, but as time went by, her face became more and more ugly.

“What’s wrong?” Jia Qing asked.

Liu Ruoxi lowered her hand weakly and slowly said, “This is a text created by the Mo family. In our library, many materials are recorded in this kind of writing.”

Jia Qing raised his eyebrows. “This should be a secret system specially made to protect certain secrets.”

Liu Ruoxi frowned. “All this time, I had never known why we must learn this kind of writing. It turns out…… they have been doing such dangerous things.” Liu Ruoxi paused when she said this. “What’s recorded on the paper is indeed a medicine formula, a medicine that can make someone live forever.”

This was in Jia Qing’s expectation, because he also felt that Liu Yuling would not specifically record the prescription of Hundred Insects Poison and even use this special text. He thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes flashed. “Is there any record of a guiding medicine?”

Liu Ruoxi looked at the piece of paper again and nodded. “There is.”

“What is it?” Jia Qing and Ling Long asked at the same time.

“The tears of the moon.”

……

Jia Renyi frowned and thought for a long time. Finally, he couldn’t help but ask, “The moon still shed tears? Did Liu Yuling cry into stupidity?”

……

Ling Long lowered her eyes and pondered, and as if thinking of something said, “I heard that in some remote villages, people there describe dewdrops as tears from the moon.”

These seemed to remind Jia Qing. “I see! It’s water. No wonder I can’t find the eleventh substance. It turns out that he uses water as a guiding medicine.”

Jia Qing looked around. “Everyone look around and see if there are any flowers with dew on it.”

So everyone except Ling Long and Yin Yin joined the team looking for dewdrop.

After working for a long time, they finally collected some. Jia Qing also collected ten kinds of poisonous insects during this period. He took the dewdrops in a small bowl and jumped down on the tunnel of the Dragon Palace.

When he came out again, it was already past noon.

At this time Yin Yin’s poison attacked again, and Jia Qing hurriedly stuffed a pill in her mouth.

“Master, help Miss Yin to regulate her internal breathing.” Jia Qing’s head was covered with sweat and turned to Jia Renyi.

Although Jia Renyi was muttering, he still did what Jia Qing said.

Jia Renyi withdrew his hand only after letting internal force run through Yin Yin’s whole body.

“This girl should be alright. After a few days of recuperation, the remaining poison will be cleared. She should be alive and kicking again.” Jia Renyi stood up from the ground and patted the dust on his buttocks.

Jia Qing took Yin Yin’s pulse and finally heaved a sigh of relief. He raised his head and looked at Ling Long, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted. “Miss Yin is all right.”

Jia Qing’s smile is definitely rarer than Ling Long’s smile, but it’s a pity that Yin Yin didn’t see it.

Ling Long only felt that his whole body seemed to collapse and fell powerlessly to the ground. Fortunately, Jia Qing quickly helped him. “How are you?”

Ling Long shook his head, looked at Jia Qing with pale face and the corners of his mouth moved, “……Thank you.”

Ling long’s voice is very soft, so light that you will miss it if you didn’t pay attention. But Jia Qing still heard it clearly.

“If you want to thank me, please thank me with something practical after you go up the mountain.”

……

Yin Yin was in a coma for three days, during which she had a fever. Though Ling Long wanted to stay by her side and take care of her, it’s unfortunate that he was ordered by Jia Qing to recuperate in his room. And so Ling Long simply moved Yin Yin and the things in her room into his.

In this way, he can take care of both of them.

Jia Qing: “……”

It’s just that Yin Yin didn’t wake up all day, and Ling Long’s hanging heart cannot be put down.

On the fourth day, Yin Yin finally woke up under Ling Long’s ardent expectation.

When Yin Yin opened her eyes, what she saw was Ling Long sleeping beside her. It was already dawn, and the faint sunlight lightly fell on Ling Long through the window.

Long and curly eyelashes cast two shallow shadows on his face. He doesn’t look very well, but his breathing is very steady, and his chest rose and fell regularly.

Ling Long’s sleeping appearance is very good, and he even dresses meticulously when he sleeps, which made Yin Yin felt a little regretful.

She watched Ling Long for a long time, and finally couldn’t help but call out, “Ling Long.”

Yin Yin thought that Ling Long wouldn’t hear her kitten-like voice, but with a “shua”, Ling Long opened his eyes.

Looking at Ling Long who was staring at her with eyes wide open, Yin Yin couldn’t help laughing and said, “Good morning, Ling Long.”

Robbin: An early post today. I will still have to pack my things as this is my last day of work. My old company was bought by a new one and some of us were laid off from the job, so I’ll be officially unemployed starting tomorrow. Ah, life. The title of this chapter gave me some hope though. Fighting! (●≧ω≦ )9
