Chapter 329 - 327: You Have a Way?
After thinking for a while, Bing Ruxue didn’t know how to ask, so she just said directly.
"Cold Qi? What Cold Qi?"
Chen Tianlong was taken aback, obviously not knowing what Chen Tianlong was talking about.
"Stop pretending, just say it, what exactly are you doing? Otherwise, don’t even think about getting the Ice Spirit Fruit from me. I bet you know how important the Ice Spirit Fruit is to me****."
Bing Ruxue knew that they were brought here by the Matchmaker, and they knew the purpose, so they definitely understood the basic uses of the Ice Spirit Fruit.
"I’m just an ordinary person, just knowing a bit of martial arts, as for the importance of the Ice Spirit Fruit, of course, I know. But, Hall Master, I really beg you, saving a life is urgent. I’ll try to help you with your Cold Poison."
Chen Tianlong was quite helpless.
"Oh? So you’re saying you have a way to help me remove the Cold Poison?"
Bing Ruxue finally heard the information she wanted.
This Ice Spirit Fruit only lasts three years. If it’s used up, they’re doomed as well. But if this guy can help remove it, it’s a long-term solution, why not?
"Yes, definitely yes... but give me some time. Within six months, I’ll definitely help you remove the Cold Poison, and I guarantee you I’ll help you every year."
Chen Tianlong is a smart person, seeing Bing Ruxue asking like this must mean she’s fooled. For Mengting’s sake, he wouldn’t hesitate even if he had to deceive the whole world.
"Hiss..."
Bing Ruxue couldn’t help but take a deep breath after hearing Chen Tianlong’s seemingly honest words. Betting for three years, if they win, a lifetime free from worry. It was quite a bargain.
"If it’s true, I am willing to give you the thing, but... how can I trust your words? If you can’t help me remove the Cold Poison by then, I’d be helpless, even killing you would be useless!"
Bing Ruxue suddenly thought of this question.
Chen Tianlong frowned, apparently, this little lady wasn’t easily fooled. He rolled his eyes and suddenly remembered Bing Ruxue saying earlier that the Cold Qi was useless to him. Actually, he absorbed it, so he asked: "By the way, Hall Master, what did you say before about your Cold Qi being useless?"
"Yeah! It’s like it’s absorbed by you. Come on, do you really absorb Cold Qi?"
"This... I’m not really sure, otherwise, should we try again?"
Chen Tianlong thought for a moment and said.
Bing Ruxue nodded slightly, she had this intention.
After the two reached an agreement, Chen Tianlong immediately ran the small part of the formula his father taught him as a child, and Bing Ruxue used her ultimate move, causing an invisible Cold Qi to appear in her palm.
In an instant, the palms of the two were touching, this time gentler, as they weren’t here to fight and needn’t attack each other.
This time their palms gently touched, the Cold Qi absorbed, and there was another intoxicating feeling.
That feeling was palm against palm, a strange sensation like wind, rain, or mist. Intangible, invisible, yet lingered unwillingly apart.
"Phew... It really was absorbed by me!"
After a moment of infatuation, Chen Tianlong was the first to respond; the feeling was subtle, but Wu Mengting’s condition was more important. Daybreak was near, and without a quick remedy, she’d be doomed.
"Hmm, indeed, Chen Tianlong, it’s possible you can help me remove the Cold Poison yourself." Bing Ruxue suggested.
"Great!"
Chen Tianlong agreed without hesitation, ready to help her absorb. Suddenly, he thought of a question: now urgent to save a life, why waste time helping this lady?
If Wu Mengting dies, it’s all nonsense!
"But first, give me the medicine to save my friend, then we talk, after all, we’re all here, cannot escape, right?"
Chen Tianlong wasn’t threatening, this was business, each with demands.
"You brat, you... alright! I agree with you, should you fail to remove my Cold Poison, you’ll all die miserably!" Bing Ruxue said viciously.
"Haha, fine!"
Chen Tianlong wasn’t worried about Bing Ruxue’s threat. This Ice Hall, though strictly guarded, wasn’t difficult for Chen Tianlong to escape from.
But now, Wu Mengting’s fate was uncertain, and without curing her, returning was pointless.
Bing Ruxue agreed so readily because she recalled the old Hall Master’s words: if someone with a Blazing Body could absorb her Cold Poison, they could use their Ice Hall’s unique method to remove it.
Now that Chen Tianlong could absorb it, maybe he was the rumored Blazing Body, only those with passionate temper possess it. Based on Chen Tianlong’s earlier behavior, Bing Ruxue thought it was likely.
But Chen Tianlong, upon entering the Ice Hall, not only feared but intensified, directly heading to the hall. If this wasn’t passionate, hot-blooded men disappeared from the world.
After understanding everything, Bing Ruxue ordered the subordinates, then took out the remaining Ice Spirit Fruit from the secret chamber, giving it to the subordinates to brew the soup.
About half an hour later, a big bowl of Ice Spirit Fruit soup was ready, while Wu Mengting had already been laid on the hall’s sofa by Chen Tianlong.
Ouyang Meijia and Liu Ting stood by, watching nervously, with unspeakable excitement.
Likewise, everyone present in the Ice Hall prayed for this beautiful girl. If this medicine had no effect, it meant she was doomed.
The most nervous were two people: Bing Ruxue and Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong’s anxiety needed no explanation. Bing Ruxue’s concern was obvious, if Wu Mengting showed no reaction, Chen Tianlong wouldn’t wholeheartedly remove her Cold Poison.
The medicine was slowly poured into Wu Mengting’s mouth, Chen Tianlong gently rubbed her throat, she began swallowing the medicine automatically, totally amazing everyone.
Especially Bing Ruxue, she was astonished by Chen Tianlong. Not only was his prowess impressive, but he was also a high-man adept in medical skills.
After Wu Mengting finished drinking, her face began to react, not by turning rosy but tomato-red.
"What... what’s happening?"
Chen Tianlong asked Bing Ruxue with some nerves.
"Hmph, you’re not accusing me of giving fake medicine, right? I, Bing Ruxue, always do things openly and honestly, never deceive, what I promised is what’s given."
Evidently, Bing Ruxue was slightly upset, this boy doubted her.
"Fine, maybe it’s the medicine’s reaction."
After confirming no error, Chen Tianlong relaxed, awaiting further developments.
Wu Mengting’s face turned increasingly red, like being cooked, her body began to heat up too. Isn’t the Ice Spirit Fruit supposed to neutralize fire poison, achieve a cooling effect?
Why is it causing a temperature rise now?
