The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Even with acupuncture to purge the toxins, her condition did not improve much; she only regained a little strength compared to before.

However, some improvement is better than no improvement. Although I don't have much strength yet, at least I can turn my head and move my body a little.

"Luo Qianmo, thank you very much."

"Youyou, you don't need to thank me. Just remember that you have to take responsibility for me." Luo Qianmo's lips curled into a deep smile.

Fang Qingyou: "..."

Why is Luo Qianmo so fixated on taking responsibility?

Fang Qingyou decided to pretend she hadn't heard and continued to survey her surroundings: "Luo Qianmo, what do you think this place is? Where does this passage lead? Can we find out the source of the Gu poison?"

She wanted to distract Luo Qianmo, but these questions were also her own concerns.

"There's only one exit here, the tunnel. No matter what's outside, this is the only way we have."

As he spoke, Luo Qianmo suddenly bent down and picked up Fang Qingyou.

"Ah!" The young woman felt dizzy and couldn't help but exclaim. When she came to her senses, she found herself being carried on Luo Qianmo's back.

The voice that rang in my ears was Luo Qianmo's indifferent yet inexplicably reassuring voice.

"Youyou, no matter what lies ahead, I won't let anything happen to us."

Fang Qingyou leaned on Luo Qianmo's back with peace of mind, wrapped her arms around his neck, and blushed slightly. She herself didn't know why she trusted him so much.

Moreover, for some reason, she didn't feel embarrassed by such intimate actions.

Perhaps it's because I've always shared life and death with him, perhaps it's because he never abandoned me when I was in deep crisis, or perhaps it's for some other reason.

She didn't know, she only knew that she felt really at ease.

The darkness of the passageway was dispelled by the cool light of the luminous pearl. She didn't know what lay ahead, or what dangers might lurk, but her heart was warm.

The passageway wasn't long; in about fifteen minutes, Luo Qianmo carried Fang Qingyou to the end.

At that moment, Luo Qianmo's footsteps shifted slightly, because he seemed to have heard a faint sound.

He paused, his deep gaze sweeping across what was in front of him, but found nothing unusual.

However, the more this was the case, the stranger it seemed to him.

Fang Qingyou's heart skipped a beat. There used to be only her and Luo Qianmo breathing here, but now it seemed like there was another person.

Perhaps sensing Luo Qianmo's pause, she suddenly felt tense, as if there was some danger here.

"Luo Qianmo, this place seems very strange."

This was exactly what Luo Qianmo was thinking.

"I will be careful."

Luo Qianmo carried Fang Qingyou on his back and continued forward, his steps gradually increasing as his vigilance grew.

"Whoosh!" After walking a few steps out of the tunnel, they suddenly heard the sound of something cutting through the air.

Turning their eyes, they saw a giant snake-like creature spraying venom at them from several meters away.

Luo Qianmo's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not make any move. It was not because he could not avoid the venom, but because he discovered that in addition to the snake gu, there were several other types of gu with huge bodies.

One spider gu, one scorpion gu, one toad gu, one centipede gu, one lizard gu, one golden silkworm gu, and one poisonous rat gu!

These eight Gu were all enormous in size and extremely powerful in combat, far surpassing the Gu they had encountered in front of the stone gate.

Seeing eight ugly, ferocious-looking Gu creatures at once, Fang Qingyou felt a chill run down her spine. Was this a meeting?

I really don't know who cultivated these poisons. As a terminal case of being obsessed with appearances, I feel like my eyes are being burned. It's simply destroying my young mind.

In addition, there is another very important problem: how to deal with so many Gu worms?

Moreover, for some reason, Fang Qingyou always felt that besides these eight ugly and frightening Gu worms, there seemed to be some even more dangerous danger lurking here.

"Clang—" Just as Fang Qingyou was preparing to observe the vital points of these eight Gu, Luo Qianmo had already moved, his first target being the giant snake Gu.

Sword shadows flashed, and a chilling aura filled the air.

As soon as Luo Qianmo moved, the other seven Gu creatures also moved, launching a concentrated attack on them.

In an instant, venom and stinging needles shot towards them.

Luo Qianmo moved swiftly, and the eight Gu creatures rushed towards them, but none of them could get close to them for a moment.

The movement was so fast that Fang Qingyou's eyes became slightly blurry, and she could only try to stare at the eight Gu worms, desperately searching for their weak points.

It was an hour later when Luo Qianmo finally dealt with the Gu creatures.

All eight Gu worms turned into pus and blood, while his body was soaked in sweat.

Each of these eight Gu worms is as powerful as a top-tier expert. Fighting eight of them alone, plus carrying Fang Qingyou on his back, greatly depleted his stamina.

"Luo Qianmo, put me down." Fang Qingyou could clearly feel Luo Qianmo's strain; the man's usually steady breathing now sounded much heavier.

He's working so hard; letting her go might make things much better for him.

However, Luo Qianmo seemed not to hear her words and remained motionless.

Without saying a word, their actions have already made their decision clear: they will not let go.

The eight Gu worms were dead, but he still felt unsafe here, as if some danger was lurking in the shadows, making him unable to relax.

Fang Qingyou was speechless. He was working so hard, why didn't he try to make things easier for himself?

Knowing she couldn't persuade him otherwise, she simply took out a pill and put it to his lips.

"Open your mouth."

Before she finished speaking, her thin, slightly pale lips parted.

These are pills to replenish energy. Fang Qingyou put the pills into Luo Qianmo's mouth and was about to pull her hand back when her fingertips trembled as if she had been electrocuted.

At the same time, his face suddenly turned bright red, so red it looked like it could bleed.

Just now, Luo Qianmo had suddenly licked her fingertip.

It's unclear whether it was an unconscious action caused by swallowing the pills too quickly, or if it was intentional.

Is the second possibility more likely?

Fang Qingyou was both embarrassed and annoyed. Was Luo Qianmo born in the year of the snake or the year of the lizard?

His tongue was incredibly responsive; her fingertips still held his scent, but his tongue had already swiftly retracted.

Was she afraid that she wouldn't be able to resist cutting off his tongue?

He shouldn't be afraid; if he were, he wouldn't have secretly licked her fingertips.

However, thinking about the terrifying snake and lizard Gu from earlier, Fang Qingyou still felt it was best for him not to be born with either of those two animals.
