Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 297 A Moment's Thought Across Mountains and Rivers 16

"Where did you get the antidote?" Qian Zhao asked, puzzled.

"I made it myself; it can cure any poison. Would you like to take a look?" Chu Yuebai said with a smile.

Qian Zhao curiously poured out the pills, smelled them, and then shook his head, saying, "I can't tell."

“My medicine is rather special, give it to Ning Yuanzhou!” Chu Yuebai said.

Qian Zhao nodded, and Ren Ruyi helped Ning Yuanzhou up, gave him the pills, and then took his pulse.

Everyone stared intently as Qian Zhao withdrew his hand and said, "The poison is gone!"

"That's great, thank you, Sister Yuebai!" Yuanlu said.

Ning Yuanzhou also said to her, "Thank you, I can never repay the favor I owe you."

"You're too kind. You've taken care of my food and lodging along the way and even gave me money. I don't need to return it," Chu Yuebai said with a smile.

Qian Zhao glanced at her, and everyone burst into laughter in unison: "Hahahaha."

"Old Qian, you'd better take good care of Miss Yuebai from now on!" Sun Lang said to Qian Zhao with a smile.

Qian Zhao glanced at him, ignored him, and looked at Chu Yuebai, who was smiling at her. She couldn't help but smile back.

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter again.

"Xiao Qi, how is it? The medicine I made is pretty good, isn't it?" Chu Yuebai said to Xiao Qi.

"Host is amazing!"

Before entering Andu, Chu Yuebai, still on horseback, said to Qian Zhao, "I'm leaving now. I'll come find you later!"

Qian Zhao looked at her for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Chu Yuebai leaned over, pinched his cheek, and beckoned to him: "Come closer!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Zhao felt several burning gazes on his back, like thorns sticking out at him. He turned around to look.

Yu Shisan, Sun Lang, and Yuan Lu quickly backed away, while Ren Ruyi on the other side glanced at Ning Yuanzhou with a smile, and the two exchanged a smile.

Qian Zhao turned around, leaned over, and Chu Yuebai gently bit his lips.

Just as she was about to back away, Qian Zhao grabbed her waist with one hand, lifted her onto his horse, and then kissed her deeply.

Yuanlu, whose eyes were covered by Sun Lang, protested, "Brother Lang, I'm not a child anymore, I can see."

"You'd better watch less of this. Old Qian is something else, he even has this domineering side!" Yu Shisan said, watching with great interest.

Sun Lang released Genroku: "See? See!"

When Genroku looked over, the two had already separated, and he looked regretful.

Chu Yuebai returned to her horse and said to Qian Zhao, "I'm leaving. Remember to keep the jade pendant with you at all times."

Qian Zhao looked at her with reluctance, clutching the jade pendant at his waist, and nodded, saying, "I wear it every day."

Chu Yuebai smiled, turned around, and rode away. She had already informed the others.

Watching her walk away, Qian Zhao returned to the group, his expression returning to normal.

"Look, now that Chu Meiren is gone, Old Qian has reverted to his deadpan expression," Yu Shisan remarked.

Yuanlu said, "Thirteenth Brother, Brother Qian is already reluctant to part with Sister Yuebai, and you're still criticizing him."

Qian Zhao listened to their conversation expressionlessly, stroking the jade pendant at his waist. He had already begun to miss them as soon as they left.

Chu Yuebai entered Andu ahead of them.

Then she found an inn to stay at, and Xiao Qi appeared in her room.

"Host, I want to come out and play with you too!"

"Okay!" Chu Yuebai picked up some food from the table and gestured for it to sit down and eat with her.

Xiao Qi sat down happily and began to eat.

"Host, I've noticed you seem to really like the female lead of this world?"

"Yes, I find Ruyi's personality comfortable to be around."

"So when are you going to go see them?"

"Let's go again in a while. We haven't even explored much of this world yet."

"Good host."

One person, one system, spent several days exploring the entire city of Andu.

Then I wandered around the surrounding area and collected a lot of things, including food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

By the time she finished her work, almost a month had passed.

"Xiao Qi, how are things on their end?" Chu Yuebai asked, sitting on a large tree in the wilderness.

Xiao Qi sat next to her and, after checking, said, "They have rescued Emperor Wu and are preparing to return to Wu Kingdom."

The mission's successful rescue of Emperor Wu means they are not far from completing their task.

"I understand!" Chu Yuebai said after thinking for a moment.

In a quiet courtyard, Ren Ruyi lay pale on the bed. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked sharply towards the window: "Who!"

The candles in the room were lit, and a voice rang out: "Haven't seen you for a while, how did you get so badly injured?"

When Ren Ruyi heard the familiar voice, she finally saw Chu Yuebai sitting by the window with her legs bent, looking at her with a smile.

A smile appeared on her pale face: "Why are you here?"

"I was originally planning to go find Qian Zhao, but I thought I'd stop by to see you before I left." After saying that, Chu Yuebai walked towards her.

She reached into her sleeve, took out a small bottle, poured out a pale yellow pill, and held it to Ren Ruyi's lips.

"Eat it, it's good for healing!"

Ren Ruyi smiled, opened her mouth, and swallowed the pill. In just a short while, she felt her wounds heal.

"Thank you, your medicine works as well as always."

Chu Yuebai smiled and asked, "Does Your Highness need my help?"

Having read the plot, she knew that everyone had escaped except for Yang Ying.

"No need, I've recovered now. I'll go find her," Ren Ruyi said.

"Alright, then I'll go find Qian Zhao," Chu Yuebai said casually.

Ren Ruyi smiled and said, "Go ahead, it's been a while since you've all seen each other. Please let Ning Yuanzhou and everyone know I'm safe!"

"Okay, be careful!" Chu Yuebai glanced at her, then climbed out the window and left.

Ren Ruyi smiled as she watched the person leave before standing up to close the window.

That night, on their way back, the mission was looking for a place to rest and spend the night. After finishing his work, Qian Zhao returned to his room.

As soon as he opened the door, he paused slightly; someone was inside.

He walked in without making a sound, and when he looked up, he saw the person lying on the bed. His eyes flashed with surprise, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Chu Yuebai turned to look at him, a smile playing on her lips: "You're back?"

Qian Zhao quickened his pace and walked over, hugging the person tightly: "You've been gone for a month."

"Yes, it's been a month. Did you miss me?" Chu Yuebai hugged him back and said with a smile.

Qian Zhao nodded: "If you want to, are you still leaving?"

"Whether you come or not depends on your performance!" Chu Yuebai released his hand and lifted his chin.

Qian Zhao didn't speak, but his gaze towards her began to deepen.

He hugged her tightly and lowered his head, their breaths mingling as they fell onto the bed.

……

The next morning, Qian Zhao woke up and touched Chu Yuebai's face, looking at her tenderly.

Chu Yuebai waved his hand away: "Are you disturbing my sleep?"

"Okay, I'll bother you!" Qian Zhao said, laughing as she rolled over onto him.

Chu Yuebai: ...This noise doesn't sound quite right.

……

There was some noise coming from inside, but thankfully no one had gotten up yet.
