Chapter 1127: Hell never mistreat her or the child (2/2)

“Gu Qishao!” she cried in alarm.

She wanted to help him, but it was too late. The sword slashed across Gu Qishao’s forehead, sending blood streaming down. Too stunned to speak, Han Yunxi stared as her needles fell from her fingers. This was the first time she’d been so distracted while treating a patient.

“He won’t die! He has an undying body too! Treat the poison, hurry!” Long Feiye was forced to blurt out the truth.

Although Gu Qishao had once held out hope to finished off Bai Yanqing alone without Han Yunxi witnessing the act, this was now a vain wish.

“What?” Han Yunxi turned back in disbelief.

“Poison treatment, quickly! Gu Qishao can’t stop him for long,” Long Feiye said urgently.

Han Yunxi glanced back again, only to see that Gu Qishao was fine and had resumed fighting Bai Yanqing. She finally recovered her wits and shelved her feelings of shock and confusion aside. Lifting a needle, she continued her treatment.

As she worked, she muttered, “There’s only three needles left. Qishao has to hold on!”

Her heart raced as her stomach swelled with discomfort from crouching so long. Still, she stayed in her position stubbornly. Seeing this, Long Feiye felt a pang in his heart. He wished he could wrap her up in his arms right now, but he couldn’t! Not only that, he couldn’t even distract her. Staring at her body, he silently vowed to never mistreat her or the child in this lifetime, no matter what happened. Even if she betrayed him someday!

Gu Beiyue and Tang Li quickly came closer so it’d be easier for Han Yunxi to treat them. Very soon, another round of needles were stuck between the three men, leaving two needles for each of them left. She kept searching for acupoints and soon finished the second round.

One more was left!

Meanwhile, Gu Qishao used a single vine to attack Bai Yanqing from behind and trap him by his waist! While Long Feiye’s trio rejoiced, he muttered in a low voice, “Hurry, Gu Qishao’s got him!”

But Bai Yanqing then gave a vicious tug on the vine, dragging Gu Qishao towards him before gripping him by the neck. Gu Qishao allowed him to choke him as more vines flew crazily out of his sleeves and wrapped themselves around Bai Yanqing. He lifted his head and grinned haphazardly, because he had won!

Although neither of them could die, Gu Qishao had still won because he’d successfully pinned down Bai Yanqing! I can leave the rest to Long Feiye and Poison lass. They’ll definitely get revenge for me!

Meanwhile, Han Yunxi took out her final needle. Long Feiye was ready to sweep her off her feet, but he wasn’t as aggressive as the past. He carefully helped her to her feet. Gu Beiyue and Tang Li flanked her on her right while he claimed her on her left.

At this moment, Bai Yanqing and Gu Qishao were stuck together as well, both of them trapped in the vines. Gu Qishao shook Bai Yanqing’s hands off his neck and turned towards Han Yunxi with a brilliant smile.

“Poison lass, isn’t Qi gege amazing?”

Han Yunxi and the rest didn’t dare relax their guard. She didn’t even probe him about his body. They had to think of a safe solution to trap Bai Yanqing for good. Tang Li quickly took out a length of rope, the product of months of research from the Tang Clan’s elders. Its material was unique, similar to the shadow threads but much thicker. They were used to trap a person’s four limbs and made it impossible to escape. Lady Tang had come up with its name: Lifesnatcher.

Long Feiye and Gu Beiyue took the rope and prepared to act when Bai Yanqing suddenly gave a violent kick.

“Be careful!” Tang Li was the first to react and went to grab Gu Qishao’s hand. Unfortunately, he was too late!

The place where Gu Qishao and Bai Yanqing were standing abruptly caved in, sending the two of them tumbling down below! It was extremely deep, so by the time Tang Li reached the edge, the two figures had already vanished from sight.

“There are secret switches everywhere around here, everyone be careful!” Long Feiye said while gripping Han Yunxi’s hand.

“Just what’s going on? Gu Qishao, he’s…” Han Yunxi couldn’t help asking.

“Big bro, is Gu Qishao...a Poison Gu human too?” Tang Li added.

“I only know he can’t die, but you’ll have to ask him yourselves about being a Poison Gu human. Since he’s undying, he might be able to entrap Bai Yanqing for awhile. We have to track down the hostages now,” Long Feiye said.

“Yes, we don’t need to worry about Qishao at the moment. Ning Jing and Su Xiaoyu are in different directions, so it’s best for us to split up. There really isn’t enough time! Tang Clan Head, there might be more hidden rooms inside this one, so let’s hurry and search,” Gu Beiyue urged.

Han Yunxi knew the situation was pressing, but she couldn’t help staring down into the deep abyss. She was too shocked by the truth.

Qishao can’t die?
