Chapter 86: Take the Elixir, You Stay
The ice fruit was right in front of him. It was about 3 meters tall on the tree. It literally close at hand.
But such a distance was like a world apart.
He had no strength at all. Let alone jumping 3 meters tall, he couldn’t even lift his hand now.
He didn’t even have the strength to talk with Liu Su with his mind, but his eyes were still very spirited. He stared at the ice fruit with eagerness.
Liu Su stopped talking and looked at him curiously.
In the minds of ordinary people, dying and watching the fruit a few meters away, he should be despairing and frustrated. But instead of seeing any frustration in Qin Yi’s eyes, they were filled with eagerness.
After being together for so long, Liu Su never thought that Qin Yi had such a side. He was so strong and stubborn that he didn’t look like an “otaku” at all.
This kind of stubbornness sometimes felt silly, but sometimes it could touch the others.
It just depended on one’s closeness toward him.
Not even Liu Su thought about it, let alone Shenghuang.
She looked at the mirror quietly, and her slender hands squeezed unconsciously.
Qin Yi took a breath for a moment, then he slowly reached into his arms and took out a talisman.
“Swoosh“, a strong wind blew.
The strong wind that could crush people’s souls suddenly gathered and pierced the branches like sharp knives.
Wind Talisman.
A precise spiritual force control that turned the bone-eroding wind around him into his own blades, scraping accurately to the desired location.
With a “creak” sound, the ice branches broke, and a few ice fruits fell dangling from the branches.
Qin Yi didn’t even have the strength to stand up. He reached out to grab the ice fruits that fell in front of him and showed a stiff smile.
Liu Su sighed, “Have you ever thought about how you can go back in this state?”
“Ugh!?” Qin Yi’s smile froze.
Then a feeling of exhaustion struck him, and he finally fainted completely.
“What an idiot.” Shenghuang dropped the mirror and disappeared.
Liu Su seemed to sense something as it whispered to itself, “The intention of monitoring has disappeared.”
The mace moved on its own, bringing Qin Yi’s body to the cave entrance in the blink of an eye.
When Shenghuang appeared at the edge of the desert, she saw Qin Yi lying unconscious outside the cave. His right hand was holding the mace and his left hand was holding a crystal clear ice fruit tightly.
…………
Qin Yi didn’t know how long he slept.
Even in his dream, he could feel the bone-chilling cold as if his muscles were cut by knives. Moving his body the slightest would cause aggravating pain.
Even his mind was out of focus, accompanied by waves of stinging pain.
He knew he was sick.
But later, someone gave him medicine. He seemed to hear Ye Ling crying.
Later, warm spiritual power was injected into him, which combined with the medicinal power to recuperate his body, regenerating muscles and invigorating blood circulation. The pain turned into itchiness. Finally, he woke up from the pain and itchiness like the bites of thousands of ants.
He found himself lying on a soft bed. The pure white silk quilt exuded a pleasant fragrance. His body was bandaged like a mummy, unable to move at all. The pain and itchiness still occurred, but they were already within the tolerable range. His spiritual force had been cleansed with true qi circulating in his body. His recovery was great. His spiritual force even showed sign of breaking through. It could be due to the ice cave adventure or the results of medicinal power and spiritual force cleansing.
“Are you awake?” A soft voice came from not far away, charming to the bone.
This voice was so recognizable. He knew it was Shenghuang without turning his head.
Qin Yi said with a little hoarse voice, “Thank you, King.”
Shenghuang sat beside the bed, looking at his face softly.
Qin Yi was startled.
She was not dressing in a long dress but in a nightgown style dress. The nightgown was loose and revealed a deep ravine. Qin Yi didn’t dare to look any further. He subconsciously moved his eyes away, but he saw the medicine bowl in her hand.
She scooped up a small spoonful, blew it gently, brought it to Qin Yi’s mouth, and said softly, “Drink it.”
Qin Yi opened his mouth in a daze. The temperature of the medicine was just right. The liquid flowed into his throat. It was warm and smooth. He could clearly feel the medicinal power nourishing his bones and muscles.
“You have severe frostbite. If it isn’t treated properly, your body will become useless.” Shenghuang chuckled, “Even the small head, which you think is more important than the big head, can be cut off.”
Qin Yi was a little overwhelmed, “King, this joke is not funny… Ugh, do you know where my mace is?”
Shenghuang looked strange, “I’ve never seen anyone ask for his mace after waking up… am I not as good-looking as a stick?”
“…” Qin Yi’s forehead burst into cold sweat.
Shenghuang didn’t say anything else and just continued to feed him medicine.
Qin Yi didn’t dare to say anything more. He drank honestly before saying, “Thank you. How can I bother King…”
“It’s nothing.” Shenghuang interrupted, “I-King admire your actions of risking your own life for a promise. This kind of person should be regarded as an honored soldier.”
Qin Yi blushed a little and said tentatively, “The ice fruit…”
“I have this kind of life-enhancing pill and other medicinal materials in my storage.” Shenghuang put down the medicine bowl and said calmly, “For the sake of your actions, I-King will give all these medicinal materials to you. I-King can personally refine the elixir for you, but there is a condition.”
Qin Yi was overjoyed and said, “King, please speak.”
After a narrow escape like this, will I still care about this one condition?
Shenghuang said leisurely, “These medicines are priceless. It takes a lot of effort for I-King to refine such high-quality elixirs. It is impossible for I-King to offer so much for outsiders. Do you understand?”
“Hmm… understand.” Qin Yi said seriously, “Qin Yi will definitely repay the kindness in the future.”
“I-King does not need you to repay your kindness. I have already said that it is impossible to offer so much for an outsider.” Shenghuang said calmly, “I-King can refine the elixir for you, but you have to stay.”
“Uhmm?”
Shenghuang said word by word, “If you join my kingdom, this elixir will be yours.”
Qin Yi shook his head with some pain, “Well, I don’t want to lie to King. To be honest, even if I don’t have this elixir, I still have to go back to be with her.”
“It’s just a woman.” Shenghuang said calmly, “I know that you have a relationship with the Cheng Family of Brocade Embroidery Workshop in the east of the city, and she also admires you quite a lot. I-King can marry her to you. Is her beauty really inferior to your lover?”
“Cheng Cheng’s beauty is unparalleled, but that’s two different things…” Qin Yi said in a low voice, “This is not something that can be replaced. I can’t let Qingjun down.”
Shenghuang sneered, “If you don’t want her, I-King will marry her to a beastkin at will. Are you willing to let her go?”
Qin Yi said helplessly, “Why would King vent your anger on a woman? Cheng Cheng is innocent.”
“If you don’t want her, she will be destined to marry a beastkin. How is she innocent?”
Qin Yi was speechless. After a while, he sighed, “If Cheng Cheng is willing to come with me, I…”
Shenghuang looked at him in a daze for a while, then she suddenly chuckled, “Man.”
Qin Yi’s face turned red. He knew that it was really scummy to say this.
Unexpectedly, Shenghuang said leisurely, “Although it’s a bit shameless, it’s better than saying it’s none of your business and letting her find a husband on her own… You still have some conscience.”
“…” Qin Yi was speechless.
“But if that’s the case…” Shenghuang said slowly, “Why should I-King waste my precious materials and efforts to refine the elixir for you? Do you think the King in front of you is a fool who helps others selflessly?”
“You’re not a fool who helps others selflessly…” Qin Yi muttered. When he glanced at Shenghuang’s eyes, the eyes had turned cold. He had to shut up.
This is troublesome…
Just as the atmosphere was getting colder, a little girl’s voice came from outside, “The perimeter of Kunpeng Purple Mansion has been lifted. We can enter at any time.”
“Is there any movement from Prime Minister Jackal?”
“No movement…”
Shenghuang chuckled lightly, “No movement is the biggest movement. If I’m right, the elites of Guo Kingdom have been waiting at his house.”
“Then what do we do?”
Shenghuang thought for a while, and she looked at Qin Yi who was in a daze. She narrowed her eyes with a smile, “Do you understand array?”
Qin Yi said in confusion, “A little bit.”
“Do this task for me, and I will refine the elixir for you.”
