Chapter 57 Ling Li
When the tall middle-aged man sneezed, Su Li flexed her finger and shot a black pill into the middle-aged man’s mouth.
The poison penetrated his intestines. The middle-aged man only had time to scream, and then his face turned dark at megascopic speed. He died! Then the corpse sputtered, in a very short time, and vanished only leaving clothing and articles.
The man in the black robe saw the scene and got scared half to death. He felt that there was a cold air immediately running from his soles of feet to the crown!
The kind of death was too strange and cruel! As soon as he thought that he would suffer the pain, he immediately howled, “Don’t kill me! What do you want to know? I will tell you all! Don’t kill me!”
The man in the black robe cried and howled, having a running nose. He didn’t have any image of the elder in the Blood Refining Hall now.
The youngster’s expression changed, indicating Su Li to stop. He icily asked, “Who is the traitor hidden in the Yinmo Cult? Who exposes my whereabouts?”
The man in the black robe had eyes wide open and said, “It turns out that you are the Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult. The unfathomable Childe Li in Jianghu legends is unexpectedly a youngster whose age is less than 20. It is incredible.”
Then, the man in the black robe sighed and said, “Your Excellency, I will tell you everything I know, but please leave me a whole corpse. Don’t let me die like Elder Gao.”
“I promise you.” Su Li answered without hesitation and put away the black porcelain bottle.
The man in the black robe immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I think after this plot against, Your Excellency should have some guesses. The traitor is Zhao Ming who oversees the border branch! In fact, he is not really a traitor because he originally works undercover for the Blood Refining Hall. With his infiltration, the entire border branch has been rebellious!”
“I see.” The youngster sighed softly, “No wonder I feel uncomfortable at the border branch instead of normal feeling at the Xuelou Cult. My invisible presentiment is right.”
“Zhao Ming poisoned Your Excellency using a unique poison from the Blood Refining Hall. If the poison cannot be detoxified in time, the poisoned will be disabled. Your Excellency should be careful!”
The man in the black robe tried his best to say, “I only know so much and don’t have the antidote. Please let me die in peace, Your Excellency.”
The youngster nodded and slapped the crown of the man in the black robe. He immediately bled from all the seven openings of his head and breathed out his life.
The youngster did keep his promise to leave the man in the black robe a whole corpse.
“Let’s go, Su Li.” The youngster took a breath and regained his smile as if the man in the black robe’s words couldn’t affect him, “I haven’t told you my name yet. My name is...”
Su Li waved to stop the youngster. The youngster looked a little stiff. His name was a great secret, but Su Li stopped him from telling her his name twice today.
As he was thinking about it, Su Li took out a white porcelain bottle from nowhere and poured some liquid like clear water on the exanimate man in the black robe.
Fizz!!
After the liquid like clear water ran, it immediately was like strong acid corroding everything. In the blink of an eye, it melted the half head of the man in the black robe, revealing the white bones.
“Ah ah ah ah ah!!!”
Suddenly, the exanimate man in the black robe opened his eyes and harshly screamed. However, the poisonous water quickly eroded his eyes and throat. The sound vanished.
The body without the skull kept shaking for a long time and finally stopped. Then, it was slowly melted, even not leaving clothing and articles.
The youngster swallowed saliva and saw Su Li putting away the porcelain bottle with a brilliant smile on her pale face.
“I heard that the Blood Refining Hall has a method of suspended animation which can withstand one lethal attack. It is true unexpectedly. You can tell me your name now.”
The autumn wind brought a little bit coolness to the youngster and blew into his heart. He felt inexplicably warm. If Su Li hadn’t been here, he would have died inevitably after the man in the black robe used the suspended animation method and got out of trouble.
“My name is Ling Li. Ling is from Ling Tian (soaring to the skies), and Li is from Li Bie (separation).”
Su Li smiled and squinted eyes like a crescent moon. “Ling Li, I like this name.”
The childe who had a pale face in front of her was so familiar, like him in the previous life.
The face of the youngster became red immediately.
Because of the hard fight, Su Li and Ling Li came to the Bamboo Building after midnight. Ling Li had no energy, so he was carried by Su Li on her back. When Fang Yuan, who heard the sound, came out and saw Su Li in bloodiness, he was greatly frightened, and said “What happened? Su Li, are you okay?”
When Ling Li saw Fang Yuan, he squinted eyes and recognized that the latter was from the Poisonous Insect Clan.
“I’m fine. There is a heavily poisoned patient in the Baicao Tang. I am able to make up the antidote only in the Bamboo Building.”
Su Li said and touched the wound on her forehead with smile. She then said, “I fell down and grazed my forehead. It is just a minor injury.”
Fang Yuan was distressed inexplicably. He quickly helped Su Li lay down Ling Li and did not look at Ling Li once because he felt that there was an inexplicable hostility on Ling Li.
“Su Li may save a troublesome person back...”
Fang Yuan secretly sighed but still helped Su Li carry Ling Li on his back to the second floor and place him on a bed.
Looking at the bottles and jars in the house and smelling an unique fragrance of the maiden, Fang Yuan had a reddish face and he sank a voice to say, “Do you need help?”
He was talking about Ling Li. He looked at Ling Li in bloodiness and saw some brown blood.
Su Li smiled and shook her head, “You can go to sleep trustingly. Doctors don’t care about it.”
Fang Yuan thought that Su Li must have contacted a lot of the wounded like Ling Li at the Baicao Tang in her daily life and couldn’t help scratching his head. He said, “That’s true. I will not bother you. You can make up the antidote securely.”
Then he closed the door. However, he called Qu Qingning up to search outside together rather than went to sleep. Su Li suddenly brought back an unidentified person which may lead to catastrophe of the valley.
They did not know that the two inborn seniors who could destroy everyone in the valley had been buried in the wilderness by Su Li.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room on the second floor of the Bamboo Building was inexplicably awkward.
Ling Li lay on the white bed, smelling intermittent fragrance. He knew it was Su Li’s bed, so his face became redder instantly.
At this time, Su Li brought a basin of water at the bedside. Then apart from anything else, she tore his rags. Ling Li immediately got panicked and sprang to the cabinet base like a monkey. He was tongue-shy as a young married woman, “You... What are you doing?!”
He had been a man for two lifetimes and had never been so embarrassed. He was forced to be undressed by a female who knew each other for a day unexpectedly!
Su Li looked unhappy and frowned with a cold voice, “You are in bloodiness, and how can I cure you? If you don’t want to abandon your performance, you must be obedient!”
Ling Li instantly froze. After a long time, he lay down accepting fate just like a robot. He seemed like a fish on the cutting board.
He certainly heard the words of the man in the black robe. If he did not get detoxified, he would probably lose his cultivation. Besides, Su Li said that she was sure of making up the antidote.
If he could recover his prime, the shame was nothing.
Su Li picked up the towel and wiped thick chest of the youngster. Her gaze was ineffably tender. It was as good as the previous life. In the previous life, she also wiped his body like this... Husband.
After an hour, Su Li finally cleaned up bloodiness on Ling Li. Innumerable wounds of knifes and swords were revealed. Ling Li had the narrow squeak this time indeed. It was hard to escape from dozens of killers in the border branch. He was almost a mass of bruises.
After applying ointments to Ling Li, Su Li also felt a little tired. If making up the antidote in this physical state, she couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t make mistakes. Thus, she applied some ointments on her forehead and turned around,
“I will help you test the poison tomorrow. You can rest assured to go sleep today.”
Then, Su Li closed the door with no lingering and went away lightly. Ling Li looked at the dim light in the room. He was almost tied to a mummy, but the whole body was cool and wounds no longer burned except that his veins were in pain faintly. The poison in his body was suppressed and wasn’t in disorder.
“I don’t know if Ling Mo has gotten the news...”
Ling Li sighed and closed his eyes. In his mind, there were all Su Li’s wound on her neck, her weak figure guarding in front of him and unyielding appearance fighting desperately for him.
They did not know each other at all. What was the reason for risking her life to save him?
In the next morning, common people in the Dasu Town saw the ruin of the Baicao Tang and worried about the safety of Su Li in immediate confusion. However, Su Li usually appeared at night. They could only help Su Li clean up herb cabinets, waiting for her to come back.
“How conscienceless is it to steal silver of the Baicao Tang!”
“Hateful thief! Since you dare to steal herbs of the pharmacy, you would better be careful of disease!”
“... I hear that the Nanjiang Country is very chaotic recently. Do refugees from the Nanjiang Country make it?”
“Alas, how chaotic!”
Let the speeches among common people pass. At the moment, Su Li was also entangled to answer about her forehead injury.
“Second Miss, what is the matter with your injury on head?”
He Shi looked at the calico covered on Su Li’s head and was distressed, “If a scar is left, you will not be beautiful.”
Su Li touched her forehead and smiled, “It doesn’t matter. I just have a fall. It is a minor injury and will be better after two days.”
“That’s good.” He Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I hear that there is a new powerful female doctor in the Baicao Tang. Miss, you can go here and maybe you won’t have a scar. However, I heard that the Baicao Tang was stolen. I don’t know if the female doctor is safe.”
Su Li’s eyes flashed and said, “I will go at night.”
After dealing with matters of the Baicao Tang, Su Li immediately returned to the valley. She saw that Ling Li was lying on a wicker chair in the yard. It seemed that his injuries were much better because he was able to walk.
“Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult, Childe Li...”
Su Li muttered and walked over. As early as the previous life, she should have thought that the disappearance of the Yinmo Cult and the appearance of her disabled husband were at the same time. The Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult certainly committed treason. The imperial court almost dreamed of destroying all evil influences in the martial arts circle. She was called the She-Devil in the previous life and bore the brunt.
When Ling Li saw Su Li coming in, he turned his head and smiled revealing two small sharp canine teeth, “You are here.”
If the smile was seen by those from the Yinmo Cult and the Xuelou Cult, their eyes would pop out of their heads. The Childe Li who could only smirk, sneer, and smile evilly actually could smile warmly and softly?!
Su Li gently replied and saw that Heidan and these little beggars were stripping to the waist and doing martial-art squats in the yard. There was no figure of Qu Qingning. Heidan looked at Ling Li from time to time even with a bit of worship.
“Are you teaching them Xuangong?” Su Li inquiringly asked. Ling Li chuckled and nodded, “Because of the indebtedness, I should do something for you.”
Su Li turned cool. She said with a cold voice, “Do you think that I saved you because of your rewards?”
Ling Li exposed stunned expression and didn’t know how to explain it. Before he opened the month, Su Li already snorted and walked away from the yard. He was chagrined and chased her at once.
Heidan looked at them and laughed, “Boss Ling is definitely interested in Sister Li!”
Then some people were immediately dissatisfied, “Humph, we all know it. We are not idiots!”
“Yes! Boss Ling’s life is saved by Sister Su Li. Of course, he should pledge to marry her!”
These little beggars took it for granted, but Heidan showed meditation and said, “We are in trouble. If Sister Li likes Boss Ling, what about our Big Brother?”
“Yeah, our Big Brother doesn’t have a wife, too!”
“ Don’t forget that there also is Boss Fang!”
“Wow... It’s messy. Let’s leave them alone.”
The group of little boys was twittering. Qu Qingning, who was hiding outside the yard, heard these and suddenly became overcast. These stupid boys were ignorant. The youngster brought back by Su Li seemed only a little older than them, but his breath was unbelievable. He only saw the kind of breath on his family elders.
If he fought with the youngster, he would not take one move of the youngster when the youngster was seriously injured.
“What is the background of the youngster brought back by Su Li? He is actually a Young Master! Is he a prince?”
Qu Qingning only felt a bit of toothache. There were the genius maiden who was skilled in both poison and medicine, the young patriarch of the Poisonous Insect Clan as well as the Young Master in the small valley. It was a little scary.
