After Transmigrating, I and the Female Lead Both Found It 'Really Fragrant' (GL) - Chapter 8
Liu Shuang glanced at him lightly, her eyes as cold as frost and sword, forcing him to swallow the words he was about to say.
Tang Yanhua could only point at her with his index finger, speechless, “You, you!…” This woman, with such unfathomable strength, was deliberately pretending to be weak. She was truly terrifying!
“What you what!” Shen Qiqi pushed his finger away and raised her eyebrows, “Where’s the antidote? Hand it over!”
Tang Yanhua sneered, “I don’t have any antidote!” He recognized the person in front of him as the sect master’s daughter, Shen Qiqi, who had always targeted Liu Shuang in the sect. He sneered, “Why are you saving her? Aren’t you always wishing she were dead? You’re so hypocritical!”
Shen Qiqi said angrily, “I’ll fart on your words!” She suddenly raised a foot and kicked Tang Yanhua hard in the knee. The latter was completely unprepared and was almost knocked to his knees.
“——You dare!”
The pampered young master’s eyes turned red, feeling incredibly wronged. He was furious and raised his hand to slap Shen Qiqi. The sudden gust of wind was like a violent storm, and Shen Qiqi subconsciously closed her eyes.
Liu Shuang’s eyes darkened, and a black smoke quietly emerged from her sleeve.
Fortunately, a few disciples nearby were startled and quickly jumped up to stop him, “Don’t do it, young master! She’s Shen Qiqi!”
Shen Qiqi, the daughter of the sect master of the powerful Shen family, who would dare to provoke her now? If Tang Yanhua slapped her, wouldn’t they all be implicated?
The faces of the few disciples had changed, and they rushed forward to stop the aggressive Tang Yanhua, “Calm down! Calm down!”
“Senior Brother Tang, think twice!”
Tang Yanhua’s face was flushed with anger, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’m not afraid of the Shen family, no matter how powerful they are!”
“The Shen family represents the Qingli sect. No matter how capable you are, if you offend Qingli, will you have a good life in the future?” The outer sect disciple said in a low voice, “Why don’t you just endure this for now and find a chance to get revenge later…”
Tang Yanhua had no choice but to break free from the people surrounding him and reluctantly put down his hand.
Shen Qiqi opened her eyes vigilantly, feeling relieved. She had just made a threat, but her own strength was far inferior to Tang Yanhua’s. She could only throw fireballs and brainwash him, she didn’t have the ability to kill him.
Tasting the sweetness of being a second rich generation, Shen Qiqi extended a hand to him, acting arrogantly, “The antidote!”
Tang Yanhua glanced at her and sneered, “A hundred-year-old rare poison, how can you find an antidote so easily? I said there isn’t one!” Then he glanced at Liu Shuang again, “And besides, I think she can clearly live well without the antidote!”
At this moment, Liu Shuang lowered her eyes and let out a soft “hmm”, half of her body suddenly softened and leaned on Shen Qiqi, as if she had reached her limit.
Shen Qiqi quickly looked at her senior sister and saw that her eyes were downcast, her face was as pale as paper, and her cheeks were flushed with a sickly pallor. She was naturally beautiful, with distant mountain-like brows that seemed to be frowning but not frowning, her eyes were like rippling waves, and the long scar on her cheek, far from ruining her beauty, added a fragile and enchanting beauty.
Shen Qiqi’s face turned red, and her heart pounded as she held the soft body in her arms. On the one hand, she admired her senior sister’s beauty, and on the other hand, she coaxed, “Senior sister, don’t be afraid, are you feeling uncomfortable again?”
Liu Shuang didn’t speak, she just nodded gently, and her cloud-like sleeves quietly covered behind her, a few wisps of black smoke silently melted into the air, following the scent of Tang Yanhua.
Shen Qiqi mistakenly thought she was in pain and couldn’t help but hug her tighter, her brows furrowed, “You still dare to say! Quickly apologize to my Senior sister!”
Seeing this, Tang Yanhua was so angry that he jumped, “I was wronged by her, and you want me to apologize to her?”
“My Senior sister is so gentle and kind, how could she harm you?” Shen Qiqi firmly believed that he was slandering her, and glared at him, “It must be your fault first! You started it!” She was blatantly biased, and she refused to believe that Liu Shuang was wrong.
“You!” Tang Yanhua was speechless, and he called to the few disciples around him, “Don’t you believe me? Go ask them, it was this waste who started it!”
“You’re still insulting my Senior sister!” Shen Qiqi wanted to kick him again, “Even if my Senior sister did it, what of it? I think it’s clearly because you did something to upset her, otherwise why would she do it!”
Tang Yanhua’s eyes widened like copper bells, he opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word. He looked at the messy medicinal field and felt a little guilty.
Although he had indeed started it, the fact that these two women had colluded and were in cahoots was really infuriating!
“You two are conspiring!”
Shen Qiqi retorted, “You’re a big idiot!”
Although Tang Yanhua didn’t understand what “big idiot” meant, he knew it wasn’t a good word. Just as he was about to argue with her, he heard a furious shout from inside the house, “Shut up! What are you all arguing about?”
Master Chang Yao lifted the curtain and walked out of the inner room with a dark face.
Shen Qiqi subconsciously straightened up and called out obediently, “Master!”
When the others saw the master come out, they all shut their mouths, “Master…”
Tang Yanhua reluctantly swallowed his words and greeted him in a low voice.
Master Chang Yao glanced at them, saw the wound on Liu Shuang’s face, and the messy medicinal field, his face turned even darker, and he said in a deep voice, “Who did this? Hmm?”
When he was angry, he was a little scary. The pressure of a Nascent soul cultivator was involuntarily revealed, making it difficult for the people around him to breathe.
Tang Yanhua bit his lip and clenched his fist, “…I did it.”
Master Chang Yao looked at him coldly, “Taking without permission is stealing. Which peak are you a disciple of? Do you think this is your own home?”
Tang Yanhua said gruffly, “We’re all disciples of the Yufeng Peak. I’m Tang Yanhua from the inner sect!”
“It’s just some flowers and plants. I can compensate!” He nonchalantly dusted the dirt off his clothes and stood up straight.
“Compensate? What will you compensate with? These spiritual herbs and exotic flowers are all carefully cultivated, taking months, even decades. Do you have that time to compensate?” Master Chang Yao’s brows furrowed, and his aura was like a towering wave, making people tremble with fear.
He said sternly, “All the medicinal pills for the 5,000 disciples of the Qingli Sect come from here. You’ve made a mess of this place, how will you compensate for the losses of the seven peaks?”
Tang Yanhua’s face turned pale, and his lips trembled. His family was wealthy, so he had always been arrogant and never thought that there were things in the world that money couldn’t buy.
“I…” he opened his eyes in terror, fear creeping into the depths of his pupils, “…Master, I…”
“Liu Shuang is also my most beloved disciple. You’ve hurt her, and I have nothing more to say to you.” Master Chang Yao didn’t bother to argue with him. He turned around to check Liu Shuang’s injury, “Please leave, you’re no longer welcome here.”
Everyone was shocked. These words probably meant that they would no longer have access to the good medicinal herbs from the herb garden.
Tang Yanhua reached out, just about to explain something, but was sent flying by a burst of spiritual pressure, falling together with several others outside the fence.
He clutched his chest, feeling a sharp pain. His throat tightened, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black bl00d. The black smoke merged with the air, swirling around him and being inhaled by everyone.
“Master, Senior sister Liu Shuang’s injury…” Shen Qiqi anxiously hugged Liu Shuang back into the room and helped her lean against the bed, “Will it be very serious? Can it be cured?”
Although the female lead definitely wouldn’t die now, and she would have a golden finger later, there was no need to panic, but she remembered that in the original novel, Liu Shuang had never been poisoned by this kind of poison. She wondered if this could be considered a variable caused by her own time travel?
What if this turned into a butterfly effect and made the female lead suffer even more in the future? What should she do?!
Liu Shuang looked at her worried expression and softly said, “Junior sister, I’m fine…” This poison was just an act she deliberately created to prevent Shen Qiqi from suspecting anything, and it wouldn’t hurt her at all.
“Senior sister…” Shen Qiqi held her hand tightly, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t let anything happen to you.” I still need to hold onto your thigh and live well!
Liu Shuang paused when she heard this and didn’t pull her hand back.
Master Chang Yao pinched Liu Shuang’s chin with two fingers and looked at it left and right, saying solemnly, “If I remember correctly, this is a kind of rotting poison from the Western Regions. This poison is very difficult to cure and will not take a person’s life, but it will cause the person’s skin to rot, leaving no part of the body intact, and it will itch unbearably every time the weather turns cloudy, making people want to scratch their skin off.”
Shen Qiqi spat, “That’s too insidious! I should have added some seasoning to that Tang whatever’s body!”
“Have you forgotten? There is a rule in the sect that inner sect disciples cannot fight privately.” Master Chang Yao said, “If you retaliate, when Feng Chenyue, the master of the Yufeng Peak, comes looking for you, even Shen Jue won’t be able to protect you.”
Shen Qiqi said resentfully, “Fine…” She knew she shouldn’t have written that rule in the first place.
Master Chang Yao smiled again, “However, although fighting is prohibited on the surface, but secretly…”
Shen Qiqi’s eyes lit up, “Oh, I see what you mean, Master!”
Looking at the two of them giggling, Liu Shuang couldn’t help but shake her head, a look of helplessness appearing on her face.
In her previous life, she had been wandering alone, and others had deceived her, concealed things from her, suspected her, and wronged her… No one had ever truly cared about her.
Now, being cared for by these two felt both unfamiliar and distant.
Liu Shuang lowered her head and glanced at her intertwined fingers with Shen Qiqi’s, her eyes flickering. She warned herself not to be so soft-hearted and not to carelessly entrust her heart to anyone.
Taking a deep breath, she tiredly lowered her eyes.
Shen Qiqi looked over, worried, “Senior sister, what’s wrong?”
Liu Shuang shook her head and looked at Master Chang Yao, saying softly, “Master, do you have any leads on the antidote?”
“Of course there is. Don’t underestimate your Master,” Master Chang Yao said with a hint of pride. “Although it’s difficult to cure, since there are poisons in the world, there must be antidotes.”
“Listen, this antidote requires three medicinal ingredients: the inner core of a Nascent soul stage spirit beast, a 9th-grade Heaven-ranked Qinhuang Grass, and a Snow Mountain Yehua flower.”
Shen Qiqi was stunned, “This…” this sounded incredibly difficult!
Master Chang Yao said, “I have this 9th-grade Qinhuang Grass here, so we only need to get the other two things.”
Shen Qiqi scratched her head and said regretfully, “But Master, weren’t all the herbs and flowers here taken by Tang Yanhua…”
Master Chang Yao didn’t mind her suddenly calling him Master, and he smiled calmly, “Don’t worry, the herbs and flowers they took and damaged were all the ordinary ones.”
Shen Qiqi widened her eyes, “But didn’t you say that all the herbs here were carefully cultivated heavenly-ranked herbs…”
Master Chang Yao put his hands in his sleeves and said with an air of confidence, “I was just scaring him. Otherwise, how would he know what fear is? … The real treasures have long been secretly hidden by me.”
Thank you everyone, I’ve kept you waiting (bows)
