Both worlds are like dreams

Several people recalled the situation at that time, and suddenly their expressions became clear. No wonder Xue Huang lost consciousness but still clenched her palms tightly, not letting Gu Qinglan get close to her.

At the same time, several people couldn't help but sigh. Even though she lost consciousness, she still refused to hurt Gu Qinglan.

But now, she was determined to protect him and could not tolerate him being hurt in any way, but in the end, she became the knife that stabbed him.

This is also the reason why Xue Huang is extremely sad. She cannot tolerate anyone hurting Gu Qinglan, not even herself.

"Do you still remember what kind of poisonous insect it was?" Lin Yu asked.

Xue Huang shook her head, "I only remember it in my wound."

Lin Yu frowned and recalled, "When I took the blood that day, I seemed to have seen a small wound on the fingertips of Gu Shizi." He quickly picked up Gu Qinglan's left hand and carefully examined the tip of his index finger. "It's true."

"What have you found?" Xu Yao asked.

"There is a tiny wound on his fingertip. The scar on the skin has healed, but there is a very thin blood thread inside the flesh. If I am not mistaken, the insect must have entered from the fingertip and gradually spread in his flesh. At first, there was only slight pain, but when the insect was completely dormant in the body, it would be triggered little by little when stimulated. I guess that Master Gu must have experienced unexplained pain before today, but the time was too short and he probably didn't notice it."

Xue Huang asked, "Is it triggered because of me?"

"This poison should be made from your heart's blood, so once he gets close to you, the poison will attack. Did you have any intimate behavior yesterday?"

Xue Huang nodded.

"The closer he is to you, the more painful it will be."

Xue Huang clenched her hands tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh. She tried hard to suppress the pain and self-blame in her heart, "Heart-eating Gu, is there really no solution?"

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, "I can't solve it. Perhaps only the person who put the poison on me can do it."

Hearing this, a hint of cold murderous intent flashed across Xue Huang's eyes.

Seeing this, Wei Yunzhou immediately held her shoulders and said, "Don't be impulsive!"

Su Linjin also silently blocked the road behind him, fearing that Xue Huang would rush over to kill him in an impulse.

Mo Ruilin looked at Lin Yu, "Is it true that as long as the Snow Phoenix doesn't get close to Qinglan, the poisonous insect won't attack for the time being?"

"In theory, that's true," Lin Yu said.

Xue Huang took a deep breath and looked at Lin Yu, "Then how far should I stay from him?"

"Try not to let him get close to you." Lin Yu said. "I will develop an antidote as soon as possible."

"Time is running out." Wei Yunzhou said.

Lin Yu looked solemn, "I understand, please rest assured."

Su Linjin also comforted Xue Huang, "Don't worry, Dong Chu is behind you and will never let anyone hurt you."

"I want to wait here for him to wake up." Xue Huang said. "Also, don't let him know about the Heart-Eating Gu for now."

"Why?" Su Linjin was puzzled. "Are you trying to use yourself to make this deal?"

"I just can't face it. I've caused him trouble. Please don't tell him."

Seeing this, Su Linjin didn't say anything else.

After everyone left, Xue Huang and Gu Qinglan were the only ones left in the room.

Xue Huang could only look at him from afar at the door.

Mo Ruilin said, "I'll leave this to you for now. I have to go to court first. I will try my best to buy time."

Su Linjin responded, "Okay."

After Mo Ruilin left, Xu Yao also planned to leave.

Wei Yunzhou said, "You'd better not act rashly."

"Agreeing to let her be with Gu Qinglan is already my biggest compromise." Xu Yao said coldly. "Don't forget her identity. After all, she is..."

"This has nothing to do with her!" Wei Yunzhou interrupted him coldly.

"Is it really irrelevant?" Xu Yao frowned and looked at him, "How long do you think we can keep it a secret from her?"

Su Linjin glanced in the direction of Xue Huang and quickly dissuaded them, "You two, stop arguing here. Now is not the time to argue about these things. The most urgent task is to find a solution to the Heart-Eating Gu. This is the key to breaking the deadlock."

Xu Yao said nothing and turned and left.

Wei Yunzhou came to the pavilion and sat down. Seeing this, Su Linjin followed him silently.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Brother, do you regret letting her come back?"

Wei Yunzhou shook his head, but Su Linjin couldn't understand whether he wanted to say "I don't know" or "I don't regret it".

He sighed, "I thought that I, Dong Chu, would allow her to continue to live freely in this city, but I didn't expect that I would push her into an abyss from which she could not extricate herself."

Here, Xue Huang waited at the door for about half an hour before Gu Qinglan woke up.

"Brother Qinglan," she wanted to go forward to check on Gu Qinglan's condition, but she stopped when she thought of Lin Yu's words, "Are you feeling better?"
