Chapter 168 – You're FunnyTranslated by: Ying
”Save me?”
Yin Mengyao was puzzled. The spirit medicines she had brought weren't enough to remove the poison. What methods could Long Chen have?
”Forget it, Long Chen. Normal spirit medicines do nothing for the pain, and if I weren't using my real Qi to suppress it, the poison would probably have spread to my whole body already.”
Long Chen did not answer her and he walked to the side to ask Lingxi, ”You said that my blood is dragon blood and has the ability to subdue the serpent poison?”
Within the Lingxi Sword, Lingxi nodded stiffly, and then answered cutely, ”Mm, yes!”
”Do you think it'll work if I let her drink my blood?”
”Huh?” Lingxi thought it over, feeling unsure, ”Perhaps.”
”Then that's enough. We should at least give it a try.” Things seemed to be turning for the better, and Long Chen could relax a little. They had managed to shake off Jin Sheng'en and Chu Yunxi with much difficulty, and their crisis for the moment had been averted. The one problem they had to deal with was Yin Mengyao's issue.
Seeing him being so secretive, Yin Mengyao endured the suffering and asked, ”Do you have a way?”
Long Chen pulled his sleeve up, ”What do you think of drinking some of my blood?”
Yin Mengyao was floored that Long Chen could make a joke like this at such a time. However, they were now good friends, and she wouldn't get mad at him for this.
”You're really funny.” Though deathly pale, Yin Mengyao managed to reveal a smile.
”I mean it.” He produced a sharp dagger from his cosmos pouch and, without wasting any time, slashed at the thicker part of his arm. A gash about 3cm long appeared, with flesh blood shining atop and quickly flowing.
”Long Chen, have you lost your mind?”
Yin Mengyao was stunned.
Long Chen held the back of her head and got her to move her lips close to the wound and spoke indifferently, ”Quick, don't waste it. This is top-grade treatment that even my Lingxi has yet to enjoy.”
Yin Mengyao had no ability to fight back, and her lips touched Long Chen's blood.
”Believe me. I won't harm you.” Yin Mengyao initially had some reservations about drinking someone else's blood. After hearing his words that were filled with concern, she hesitated slightly and opened her mouth, revealing the tip of her pretty tongue that began to lick at Long Chen's arm.
”d.a.m.n it.” This scene had Long Chen's blood boiling, but thankfully, this was his arm. If it were another area, Long Chen would want to break down.
Sucking in a few mouthfuls of his blood, she moved backwards, watching him while feeling somewhat fl.u.s.tered. There were still traces of blood on the corner of her lips, and she quickly wiped it away.
In all the years she had been alive for, this was the first time she was doing something so strange. If not for Long Chen having saved her life, she wouldn't have listened to him so readily.
”Long Chen, this should be enough. Staunch the bleeding!” Yin Mengyao looked as if she could not bear to see his wound.
”Beauties are amazing. They're good looking even while poisoned,” Long Chen thought inside. He pulled his arm back and used Origin Reversion to heal the little wound, and then asked seriously, ”How do you feel now?”
Yin Mengyao had been focused on Long Chen's injury and was wondering about why he had done something so strange, thus momentarily forgetting about the state of her body.
After hearing the question, she checked and was stunned to realise that the blood she had swallowed had turned into a red mist that was spreading through her body.
”What is that?” Yin Mengyao was shocked and was right about to channel Qi to expel this red fog, but she abruptly came to the realisation that this fog had the function of breaking up poison.
”How is that possible? Why is his blood so amazing?” Yin Mengyao was bewildered. She could not understand and decided to accept Long Chen's goodwill for now and direct the fog throughout her body so that it could clear the poison.
With Yin Mengyao focused, Long Chen could not go far either.
”You scoundrel. Did you do that because she's pretty?” Lingxi's words were full of jealousy.
”Hmm? I wonder who's knocked over a jar of vinegar?* It's so pungent,” Long Chen answered roguishly.
”You-! I'm not jealous. I was just made aware of how you're particularly attentive towards beautiful girls. Hmph!”
”Who said that?” Long Chen looked all righteous, ”I helped her because Mo Xiaolang gave me the Celestial Core Technique which was immensely helpful. Yin Mengyao should be on very good terms with him, and I do have to return the favour eventually, don't I?”
Lingxi still had her doubts.
After a while, Yin Mengyao gradually regained colour in her cheeks, though the cold look on her face still remained.
Such a cool and elegant aura was something Lingxi would never possess- or rather, would temporarily not have.
Who knew what kind of earth-shattering beauty that could devastate cities Lingxi could grow to be…
”What happened? I've recovered?” While opening her eyes, Yin Mengyao stared up at Long Chen in her confusion, eyes full of disbelief.
Long Chen had now turned into a very mysterious person in her point of view.
