Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight
Chapter 227: The Sacrifice of the Great Witch of Southern Xinjiang, White Moonlight (9)
Half a month ago, the cochineal insects were not yet mature, but Qi Shu's kite was almost finished. Qi Shu remembered that he muttered a few words at that time, wondering why Yue Bai hadn't come back for so long.
I didn't expect Qi Xun to really send someone to look for them. The black-robed people obeyed Qi Xun because he took over from the clan leader and trained them. Qi Shu didn't have any objection to this matter, but when did Qi Xun bypass him to give orders to the black-robed people?
However, Qi Shu was only confused for a moment, and then asked: "Doesn't that mean they are about to come back?"
"That's true, but earlier, they sent me a message saying Yuebai was being hunted outside and seemed to have been poisoned."
After hearing what Qi Xun said, Qi Shu suddenly became nervous: "Who is it?"
"You'll know when you get back." Qi Xun was not as nervous as Qi Shu, "Spring is coming soon, and we still need to prepare for this year's Spring Festival."
Qi Shu heard the hidden meaning in Qi Xun's words. He could not go out often anymore. Qi Shu looked at the sky outside. Because the village was in the mountains, it never snowed here. It was warm in winter, suitable for snakes and insects to live.
It is called a spring festival, but in fact it is just a sacrificial ceremony set up to distinguish the seasons.
"I understand. Once she returns and has a few words with her, you can start preparing for the Spring Festival."
When the two of them were speechless, Qi Xun opened his eyes and said, "I'm back."
After a few breaths, footsteps were heard.
"Great witch, the girl has been poisoned. I am incompetent. Please go and take a look."
As soon as the man in black robe finished speaking, he felt something blowing past him like a gust of wind. When he looked up, there was only a white shadow left.
The men in black robes quickly followed, and after they picked up the girl, they were ready to come back immediately. At that time, the detoxification pills were still effective, but they were ambushed several times along the way.
This wasted time, and when he came back, Yuebai was almost poisoned.
It was not until Qi Xun walked to the moon-white window that he saw the man lying on the bed, his face pale and his breathing rapid. Even in a coma, he was clutching his clothes tightly, his brows furrowed, like a drowning person with no one to rely on.
Qi Xun raised his hand to push aside Yue Bai's sweat-soaked hair. There were traces of tears on her beautiful face, and she looked pitiful, frail and helpless.
Qi Xun then held Yuebai's hand again and pressed gently twice at the base of the thumb, and the meridians on Yuebai's hand turned blood red.
"It's the secret medicine of the Nanyu royal family. Don't worry, it can be deciphered." He said this to comfort Qi Shu, but Qi Xun's heart sank. It can be deciphered, but it is not an easy task.
Qi Shu was relieved. Qi Xun took out two pills and fed them to Yuebai. Your face became rosy visibly, and you were not in so much pain. Your brows relaxed and you fell into a deep sleep.
Only then did they notice that what Yuebai was holding tightly in his hand was Shuang Chihua.
"Do you regret it? If it weren't for what you said, she wouldn't have been someone who was obsessed with the past."
Qi Xun’s answer was Qi Shu’s silence.
Qi Xun said nothing more, told someone to take good care of Yuebai, and planned to leave. Then he began to prepare for the detoxification. He only remembered that it was the poison of the Nanyu royal family, so Yuebai might be hunted by the royal family.
However, the moment he withdrew his hand, he held it even tighter. Qi Xun felt the coolness and softness coming from his fingertips, a feeling he had never experienced before. He never got close to people, but Yuebai was an exception for him. He had to be more special, even more special, to the point where he himself didn't realize that he could no longer simply treat Yuebai as a sacrifice.
His light grey pupils froze for a moment, as if thousands of emotions were surging in them, yet as if nothing was happening. In the end, he still sat down beside Yue Bai's bed, sizing up this woman who was definitely special to him.
I started to wonder, who is she? According to previous news, the guardian who took the Wahuang Flower away married the Emperor of Nanyu, but because of love, she turned to hate and imprisoned the emperor and established herself as the Empress. Then Yuebai might be her daughter, so why did the Empress of Nanyu kill her own daughter?
This didn't make sense, and they had no idea what had happened to make the guardian of the Wahuang Flower turn from love to hatred. But the most important thing now was to save people. Qi Xun sighed, sent someone outside to keep an eye on the news of the royal family, and started preparing to refine the medicine.
At this time, Yue Bai encountered something bad in her dream and began to mutter. Qi Xun leaned closer and heard her say, "Father, save me! She wants to kill me, it hurts!"
Although he had already guessed Yue Bai's identity, hearing this whisper made her identity even more certain. He then ordered the man in black robes, "Go check if there are any princesses missing from the Nanyu royal family recently?"
The man in black robe had never seen a great witch who cared so much about anyone's affairs, but if this woman was really Princess Nanyu, she probably could not be used as a sacrifice. Moreover, this matter was closely related, even involving the theft of the Queen Wa Flower more than 20 years ago.
He was shocked and did not dare to delay, so he stepped back and began to investigate.
After giving the order, Yuebai still held his hand tightly, and Qi Shu urged, "Let me out quickly."
The next second, his pupils turned dark ink black. Qi Shuhui held Yue Bai's hand, comforting her again and again, gently patting the back of her hand.
Yuebai slowly calmed down under this comfort, but Qi Shu still didn't let go of her hand. He was not stupid and could naturally guess Yuebai's identity from these clues.
So now things have become tricky. We still need to see how the Huang family reacts before making the next decision. But the good news is that Yuebai will definitely not be used as the next sacrifice.
Qi Shu looked at Yue Bai carefully. She seemed to have lost a lot of weight. He couldn't leave the village, so he had no way to accompany her. At this moment, Qi Shu had never wanted to leave here so much. Or maybe it would be better for her to stay in the village forever. If the past only brought her pain, it would be better not to exist.
If the Nanyu royal family doesn't want Yuebai, then their Nanjiang is still Yuebai's home.
He and Qi Xun will protect Yue Bai, teach her witchcraft, and stay with her until the end of her life. Maybe there is no need for a heart transplant...
In this way, Qi Shu sat there all night, thinking about random things, and then slowly fell asleep, until the first ray of morning light fell on Yuebai's window lattice. Yuebai's fingers moved, and Qi Xun, who was holding her fingers, felt that Qi Shu's consciousness was still asleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of light gray pupils.
