2440 Give Me a Hug
After the initial shock, Shu Jing had already thought through many things. It turns out that the Brother Yan Qing that Xiao Ba referred to is the Left Divine General. It isn’t the same name but the same person! The familiar figure I saw at the reeds on the medicinal mountain that day was indeed him!
Apart from the deities, no one else in the Fantasy Divine Palace knew what the Left Divine General looked like. Therefore, he was even willing to appear on the medicinal mountain with Xiao Ba.
She still clearly remembered what she heard that day. Everyone said that the two of them were extremely intimate and were a match made in heaven. They went in and out together, coming and going hand in hand.
In fact, Xiao Ba had rejected Liang He because of him!
At the thought of this, Shu Jing couldn’t help but sneer and glanced at Liang He mockingly.
Because of Yan Qing’s sudden appearance, everyone in the heavenly doctor competition had already stopped for the time being. Fortunately, the pills in their cauldrons weren’t affected. Instead, they froze in the corresponding state.
Of course, only someone like the Left Divine General could do such a thing.
“Liang He, you’ve been sad and depressed for her for a long time, but you don’t know that she’s already in love with the Left Divine General. Why would she like you!?”
Liang He’s face turned even paler, and his eyes lingered on Xiao Ba and Yan Qing a few times. His lips trembled, but in the end, he was speechless.
Everyone understood what Shu Jing meant: According to the rules, Xiao Ba would be immediately killed if she failed to refine the pill. At this moment, Yan Qing appeared.
In everyone’s eyes, he and Xiao Ba were indeed together and had a very good relationship.
It was a little inappropriate to suspect the Left Divine General, but… It wasn’t impossible. After all, he had indeed done many things for Xiao Ba previously.
At this moment, a mocking laugh suddenly sounded.
Shu Jing looked at Xiao Ba coldly. How could she still smile at a time like this?
But the next moment, Xiao Ba’s words immediately shocked her.
Xiao Ba leaned lazily against the cauldron and tilted her head, her red lips curled into a smile. “Who told you that my pill was ruined?”
Perhaps it was because she was injured, but her voice was a little hoarser than usual. However, with her lazy and soft tone, it was even more intoxicating.
Shu Jing’s mind went blank for a moment. She asked almost uncontrollably, “What did you say!?”
I clearly didn’t hold back in that attack just now. That pill is definitely impossible—
As if reading her mind, Xiao Ba raised her other hand and slowly unfolded her palm.
A longan-sized pill was lying quietly in her palm.
The shape was round, and the color was bright and rich. The patterns on it were especially clear, and a strong medicinal fragrance spread from it!
It was the Green Glass Scarlet Fire Pill! Moreover, everyone could tell that this was a perfect pill!
“That’s impossible!” The moment Shu Jing saw the Green Glass Scarlet Fire Pill, her eyes widened as she screamed! How did this happen? I clearly…
“The pill is right here. Why is it impossible?” Xiao Ba snorted.
She licked her lips and rubbed her waist. “I spent a lot of effort protecting this pill.”
In that attack just now, Shu Jing had used almost all the power she could. If she hadn’t reacted quickly, Shu Jing would have succeeded!
She smiled and looked at Shu Jing with a faint smile. “Eighth Deity, I should’ve passed this life-and-death challenge, right? Do you still want to kill me now?”
…
Silence.
The air seemed to freeze.
Everything was frozen at this moment.
Shu Jing felt a buzzing in her head, and her vision darkened. She actually… protected that pill!
Xiao Ba laughed and said, “Brother Yan Qing has always treated me very well, but… He’s extremely fair when it comes to important matters like life and death. To be honest, I only found out this person’s identity today.”
With that, she looked up slightly and glanced at Yan Qing with a faint smile. “I didn’t expect Brother Yan Qing to be so powerful.”
Yan Qing pressed his thin lips against each other slightly.
“Eighth Deity, you just suspected that Brother Yan Qing was unfair and used his power for personal gain. However, this pill is clearly fine now. Then, what you said just now… Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to hear it yourself, huh?” Xiao Ba said slowly.
Every word was like a resounding slap to Shu Jing’s face!
Yeah!
She had just said that Yan Qing had come forward because he was worried that Xiao Ba would die. But in fact, Xiao Ba’s pill had been successfully refined!
Then, what she said just now was clearly slander.
Shu Jing was completely flustered. “I… I…”
Yan Qing glanced at Mu Qinghe. “First Deity, at this point, don’t you have anything to say?”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Mu Qinghe.
Finally, he said, “It’s my fault for not disciplining her well. I’m willing to hand her over to the Left Divine General.”
The crowd was stunned! He admitted it!
The Eighth Deity, Shu Jing, had indeed deliberately tampered with the life-and-death challenge just now, wanting to take the opportunity to harm Xiao Ba!
As a deity, doing such a thing was unforgivable!
The last trace of blood on Shu Jing’s face instantly faded. Her legs gave way, and she almost fell to her knees. “First Deity!”
Mu Qinghe’s expression didn’t change and was indifferent.
Shu Jing’s heart felt like it was on fire.
She was about to go forward and continue begging for mercy when a piercing sound suddenly came!
Swoosh!
Shu Jing felt her hair stand on end. A chill rose from her feet and instantly surrounded her, unable to break free!
A sharp and cold sword aura covered the sky!
She looked up in panic and saw that Yan Qing’s sword was already heading straight for her.
It was unavoidable!
“No—” She had just spat out the word when she suddenly felt a chill coming from her lower abdomen.
A strong wind blew past her body, and the coldness seeped into her bones.
Kacha!
There was the sound of something shattering.
She lowered her head slowly. A badly mangled wound was clearly visible on her lower abdomen.
Warm and sweet blood kept gushing out and dyed it red. Right on the heels of that, intense pain swept through her body from her wound.
Her body trembled, and she fell to her knees.
Plop!
Her knees hit the ground hard with a dull thud. Blood slowly seeped out from the corner of her lips.
Great panic surged, making Shu Jing’s entire body stiffen. My pearl of essence… is broken!
She slowly looked up at Yan Qing.
He floated in mid-air in the sky.
Suddenly, he frowned and walked over. There seemed to be deep worry in his eyes.
Shu Jing’s glabella moved. “Yan…”
A gust of wind blew.
He had already brushed past her.
Her expression froze. Then, she suddenly realized something and turned around.
Xiao Ba’s stamina wasn’t enough. She loosened her grip on the cauldron, and her body slid down.
A strong arm wrapped around her waist and picked her up.
