Chapter 25: Disseminating Tassel Fragrance (2/2)
Originally he thought Baili Yu would leave after saying this, but unexpectedly his tone changed and he spoke again: “Everyone should go ahead and disperse. Though it’s a bit early, you should postpone the martial arts convention a couple months as well. Waiting until your Alliance Head recovers isn’t too late.”
The moment this remark was spoken, everyone was shocked dumb. Xi Qiuyue’s jaw even dropped to the floor. After quite a long time of not meeting, Baili Yu’s unbridled personality has increased to another dimension!
Leaving the incident of openly intervening the Jianghu’s matters aside, now he was even meddling in the martial arts convention? From the indifferent tone of his voice, it seemed he completely did not put this martial arts convention in his eyes. But all the fractions of the Martial Arts Circles, other than flaring up their noses and glaring, really could not do anything to him.
After listening to this, Tang Doudou was also extremely speechless. She felt suspicion in her heart, what exactly was this guy after?
This black-bellied seductive yao has a rampant yet cunning temperament that’s not stained by this mundane world…… she had never seen someone who had so many contradictory qualities coexisting at the same time, yet these qualities mixed together surprisingly harmoniously when they appeared on him. It was as if it leaked out involuntarily from his very bones, causing people to be unable to shift their eyes away.
Beautiful, truly beautiful!
If talking about the previously seen men, first the extremely cold and stunning masked man, then the neat and clean Bai Feiyun, the two both counted as rarely seen beautiful men, so she, Tang Doudou should have also built up a little immunity towards handsomes. But seeing this Baili Yu, she still couldn’t help but be stunned and gasp in admiration. How could the world have such a good-looking person, now matter how much she looks she still doesn’t feel she’s looked enough!
“Has Alliance Head Li looked enough?” Suddenly, Baili Yu’s voice sounded in the spacious palanquin.
The currently soul-drifting dazed Tang Doudou was startled to the point her heart leaped and blurted out: “No.”
And only realized afterwards that she was able to speak again.
“If not, then just continue to look. When you’ve looked enough, just let this one know.” As he spoke his eyes curved, extremely closely resembling a languid fox: “Then this one would be able to help Alliance Head Li cure the poison.”
Wha thingamajig? Cure poison?
Tang Doudou’s brain temporarily could not react. She asked: “What poison?”
“Disseminating Tassel Fragrance(liu liu xiang).“
“Six Six Spice(liu liu xiang)? For making stew?”
Sounds pretty much like Thirteen Spice*, could it be that they’re both for making stew?
Hearing this, Baili Yu curved his eyes again and repeated: “It’s Disseminating Tassel Fragrance.”
Tang Doudou felt pain in her ass. What the ghost in the world is Disseminating Tassel Fragrance? Could it be it’s not for making stew?
“It couldn’t be that you forgot what Disseminating Tassel Fragrance does?” Baili Yu asked again.
Hearing the word ‘forgot’, Tang Doudou immediately became alert again. That’s right ah, she’s not the real Li Xueyi, she was just a lone soul that occupied Li Xueyi’s body. She didn’t know anything at all about everything Li Xueyi had experienced before.
For Baili Yu to suddenly appear at the martial arts convention, it was certainly not because of a random whim. After all, he even brought the Alliance Head Command Tablet.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she carelessly changed the flow, according to reason she probably wouldn’t be sitting in the palanquin right now, but would be holding the Alliance Head Command Tablet and discussing plans with that group of martial arts practitioner regarding matters to benefit the Martial Arts Circles.
But then how should this sudden topic about curing poison be explained? She only knew that she was poisoned by the Tendons Softening Powder thing and lost all her martial arts. She didn’t know anything about the existence of a Disseminating Tassel Fragrance.
How did Baili Yu know?
The so-called offer to cure the poison, was that him probing her, or something else?
Tang Doudou’s eyes turned around and around. For better or for worse she shifted her gaze away from Baili Yu’s face and pulled out the move she previously used to fool Bai Feiyun: “I’ve lost my memories.”
Baili Yu didn’t say anything.
She spoke again: “I’ve forgotten a lot of things, I don’t even remember who I am, how could I still remember what Six Six Spice is.”
“Ha……” It was another light chuckle as if sneering at Tang Doudou’s shabby acting. His slightly pointed peach blossom eyes turned sharp, his gaze was like a blade that wanted to penetrate her heart.
Tang Doudou was still, knowing that she could not do anything to attract the slightest bit of suspicion. Her clear eyes met the gaze, calm and composed.
Only after a good while did Baili Yu’s eyes return to their usual languidly disinterested gaze. He snapped his finger and a force settled in front of Tang Doudou’s chest. Following that, her whole body relaxed for a moment and control of her body returned.
“Disseminating Tassel Fragrance is truly as the rumors described, not only did it cause all the martial arts in your body to disappear completely, even your memory was wiped.” Baili Yu’s pupils deepened as he spoke.
Didn’t Bai Feiyun say that she lost her martial arts because she was poisoned by Tendons Softening Powder? How come when it got to Baili Yu here it became Disseminating Tassel Fragrance? Who exactly should she believe then?
Seeming to see her doubts, Baili Yu explained: “Tendons Softening Powder would only suppress your inner strength, causing you to be unable to use your inner strength but you can still use some simple moves. But this Disseminating Tassel Fragrance can thoroughly cut off your inner strength, wipe out your memory and make you forget everything you’ve ever learned. The fifth time the poison flares up, those who cannot endure through will have to whimper goodbye to life. Those who endure through it will become incapable of taking care of themselves, gradually becoming an unfeeling and unsensing living dead.”
This weave of words, as Tang Doudou listened it caused her heart to tremble. Six Six Spice is actually this vicious!
Someone that doesn’t die will become an idiot, if not an idiot then it’s a human vegetable. Ain’t it a bit too frightening!?
Jesus ah, why is her, Tang Doudou’s life so bitter ah!?
“Then can I still be saved?” Pitifully looking towards Baili Yu, Tang Doudou seemed to have guessed the reason she transmigrated over. Li Xueyi probably died from the poison flaring up, which is why a freak combination of factors caused her to transmigrate into this body and unexpectedly lived on?
Then that being the case, what kind of future impact will the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance that has already flared up five times bring her?
