Chapter 124 Breaking the situation
Chapter 124 Breaking the situation
I rolled my eyes and smiled sinisterly, "That's too easy for you! This dagger is tempered with the poison of 'Smiling Half-Step Madness'. If you scratch your skin a little, your spiritual power will be destroyed, your bones will become soft and your muscles will shrink. You will have to take three breaths for every step you take. If you walk more than seven steps a day, you will foam at the mouth and act like a madman. You will take off your clothes and ask for a beating. If you are not beaten for a full hour, your intestines will be pierced and your stomach will burst and you will die!"
Gui Fangqian was skeptical and said with a sullen face: "What a joke! If there really is such a medicine, why have I never heard of it?"
I smiled and waved the dagger in front of his eyes, saying, "The world is so big, there are so many things you don't know! Even if you don't know about this medicine, don't you know that the Tushan family is rich enough to rival a country, and there is nothing that money can't buy?"
Gui Fangqian moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself, and it was obvious that his arrogance had subsided.
I took advantage of the situation and put the dagger closer to his neck, saying with a smile: "If you don't believe me, come and try it. Anyway, I'm not a big deal—"
"Even people with strong spiritual power can eat one pill, just one pill." Behind him, Gui Fangduan couldn't help but speak out.
"Aduan! Why do you say that?!" Gui Fangqian glared at him and yelled.
"Brother, seeing that you were about to be cut off, how could I bear to watch and do nothing? It has come to this anyway, it won't make it worse if you tell her." Gui Fangduan argued.
I smiled even more, retracted the dagger, turned around and praised: "Master Guifang Duan is more aware of the current situation and can take on the responsibility of the clan leader!"
Gui Fangduan looked at me, then looked at Gui Fangqian behind me, and said with a smile: "Don't flatter me to death."
I didn't say anything else. I poured out a pill with confidence, helped Tu Shanjing up and fed him the pill.
His lips brushed softly across the palm of my hand, making my palm itchy and my heart a little itchy too.
Before I could come to my senses, he sat up with one hand on the ground.
I squatted down and asked, "Sir, how do you feel?"
He looked at me and smiled: "No different than usual, no need to worry."
My heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled back into my chest. I pulled him up and watched him stand up like a tall tree again.
He motioned for me to feed Changbao an antidote as well, and he took out something the size of a firework from his arms. When he pulled it open, a golden flame shot straight into the sky from the hole in the roof and exploded high up.
I helped Changbao up, knowing in my heart that he was summoning other shadow guards. It seemed that today's trip was not in vain. Although I suffered a disaster, I gained more.
When Changbao stretched his arms and legs to check on You and transferred some spiritual power to him, I hurried to see Xiaohui.
He huddled in a small ball in a torn blanket, his fur was burnt in places just like the blanket, leaving bloody wounds.
Seeing me coming over, he twitched his beard and said, "Girl, I'm fine."
I didn't dare to touch him, so I turned around and asked Tu Shanjing, "Master, can Xiao Hui take the medicine given to Miss Xiao Hong?"
Tu Shanjing came over, squatted down and looked at Xiao Hui, stood up and took the bottle of medicine for him, and said, "It's not exactly suitable for your condition, but it's better than nothing."
After hearing this, Miss Rouer quickly took out a small box from her bosom, handed it to me with both hands and said, "Miss, this is a gift from Master Tushan. He said it was some kind of magic pill. Can you see if it can be used?"
Tu Shanjing came over after hearing this, lowered his eyes to glance at the small box, and then said, "This is more suitable for the symptom. Take three pills and feed them to Xiao Hui."
I quickly took it, thanked Rouer, and fed the medicine to Xiaohui. His breathing rate slowed down a little, and his hands and feet no longer trembled slightly.
Just at this moment, a group of people came running up the stairs, led by Yu Xin.
He glanced inside from the doorway, and after seeing the situation clearly, he knelt down as soon as he entered the room: "I am incompetent and failed to dispatch the shadow guards in time. Please punish me, young master!"
Tu Shanjing waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can get up. You already have other errands to do, and it's not easy to gather so many people in such a short time."
Yu Xinyi bowed and said, "Thank you, young master, for your mercy!" Then he stood up and looked at Gui Fangqian, who was covered in blood, and asked carefully, "Young master, this man——?"
"Tie up the guy over there and take him away. Send three more people to carry my brother away and bring them all to the inn where I'm staying. Send people to protect these girls. Treat the injured ones and give the healthy ones a good meal to calm their nerves."
Tu Shan Hou heard this and shouted, "Second brother, you should also untie it for me!"
Tu Shanjing turned around and said to him, "No hurry, why don't they carry Big Brother to the inn safely? We haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's a good opportunity to catch up."
Tushan Hou knew that it was useless to say more, so he shut his mouth angrily and said nothing.
"Master Qingqiu, I'm still here!" Master Fan was afraid that Tu Shanjing would forget about him and leave him here alone in the cold, so he shouted happily at this moment.
Tu Shanjing turned around and looked at him, saying, "Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Fan. I will cure your poison right away. I will go take care of my family affairs first, and we will meet again later."
Changbao walked over and fed him the antidote. He peeked at the movements of the Tushan family's shadow guards and grinned, "That's right, after today, we two brothers have become life-and-death friends. Let's find an opportunity to drink and chat together in the future!"
Tu Shanjing bowed and said, "I already have a brother. Master Fan, see you later." After that, he waved his sleeves and led Changbao to the door.
I saw two shadow guards tying up Gui Fangduan and were about to lift him up, so I hurriedly said, "Wait!"
Tu Shanjing and Gui Fangduan looked at me at the same time, but with different expressions.
Gui Fangduan looked expectant and said with a smile: "Are you reluctant to leave?"
I smiled, pulled out the dagger soaked in anesthetic, walked closer to him, and said, "Not only am I willing to give you another blow!"
Tu Shanjing withdrew his gaze, with a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
Gui Fangduan was visibly becoming dispirited, and his eyes had lost their luster.
I held the dagger and pondered, wondering where to cut to cause the least damage.
He closed his eyes and said, "Stop gesticulating and just do it quickly!"
I made up my mind and lifted his ear. He shuddered, which scared me too. I stabbed his earlobe with my shaking hands, let go of his ear and said, "I'm sorry, your spiritual power is too high, I'm afraid something bad will happen to you after you recover. Just bear with it for now, it won't be a problem if I cut it here, and you won't be able to see it when you recover later."
He sighed and said, "Future? Do I still have a future?"
I didn't have time to answer him. I gestured to the shadow guards to continue carrying him away, and then did the same to Gui Fangqian.
Tu Shanjing said to me, "I'll go down and keep an eye on it first, and I'll wait for you in the carriage later." After that, he turned around and followed Gui Fangduan and the others downstairs.
Gui Fangqian cursed loudly, and it was so ugly that he almost wanted to dig out the ancestor of the fox clan and make a scarf. I ordered the shadow guards to seal his mouth and tied him tightly three times before letting them carry him down.
I saw Shadow Guard transferring spiritual energy to Xiao Hui and asked hurriedly, "Will he be healed immediately?"
