Chapter 1148: Who else could it be? (1/2)

Gu Qishao’s answer made Bai Yanqing laugh out loud.

“Just wait until you die! This old man won’t help you cure the poison!” In truth, even if Bai Yanqing had the skills, he didn’t have any ingredients to make an antidote. Lil Thing had cleaned his poison storage space all out.

“You shut up!” Gu Qishao sent a vine flying until it slapped Bai Yanqing in the face.

Bai Yanqing closed his mouth. He’d just wait and watch the show!

All the blood on Gu Beiyue’s chest had turned black, leaving him in dire straits. Long Feiye had no time to deal with Bai Yanqing now. He placed Han Yunxi on the ground and said, “The poison beast’s blood can cure hundreds of poisons!”

Recalling this, Gu Qishao rejoiced. As long as they took Lil Thing’s blood, it’d cure the poison without causing the poison beast much harm, either. Back then, it was Poison lass herself who took Lil Thing’s blood to cure Long Tianmo. Now Lil Thing had finally recovered.

As long as they used its poison, Lil Thing’s poison fangs would become useless. It’d take more time for recovery again.

“Long Feiye, do it!” Gu Qishao shouted.

“Your Highness, don’t!” Gu Beiyue stopped him. If Long Feiye hurt Lil Thing just to take its blood, then he would have gotten injured for nothing! He was trying to bet on whether Lil Thing would save him on its own. He hoped his actions could have awakened the creature to its senses.

“Your Highness, Lil Thing will save me,” Gu Beiyue said while looking at the beast. Although he was speaking to Long Feiye, his words were meant for Lil Thing.

Currently, Lil Thing was staring at its gentleman while its scarlet eyes were glimmering with tears! It loved its gentleman the most! It hated dirtying the gentleman’s clothes and adored nestling into his arms to smell his clean scent while enjoying the warm sunshine together.

But it had made a mess of the gentleman’s robes!

The gentleman had almost been poisoned to death by it. It couldn’t begin to imagine how lonely it’d feel if the world had no gentleman anymore!

All of its rage evaporated as it prepared to leap to the rescue, but Bai Yanqing suddenly spoke up.

“Lil Thing! Did you forget how the Lustbite energy destroyed all of your kin? Did you forget how all the blood formed a river that flowed all the way to the Skypit? And have you forgotten whose graves are lying beneath us?”

“Heheh, and yet you’d rather save your enemy in a place like this!”

Bai Yanqing’s words shocked the group.

“It was the Lustbite energy that exterminated the snow wolves?” Long Feiye was surprised.

“Lil Thing, can you smell the scent of bones beneath us? Do you remember how your mother and father died?” Bai Yanqing raised his voice. “Lil Thing, your owner lied to you! She long knew he possessed Lustbite energy, but you were kept ignorant until this day. Hahaha. In their eyes, you’re nothing more than a pet, no different from a cat or dog!”

Sowing discord!

He’s doing it again!

“Bai Yanqing, this old man will never let you speak again!” Gu Qishao simply used his vines to gag Bai Yanqing in a fit of fury, making it impossible for the man to even shut his mouth, much less speak. But his words were enough!

Bai Yanqing would rather Long Feiye kill him in one blow and finish off everything rather than suffer any more pain or humiliation! The threat of “castration” was still echoing in his head.

“The Lustbite energy destroyed the snow wolves in the past, so that’s why...you hate me so much?” Long Feiye asked.

Lil Thing immediately gave him a vicious snarl.

But the Lustbite energy wasn’t the possession of the East Qin royal clan. It was a secret inner energy manual being spread around the jianghu that they had snatched fo themselves! Whoever slaughtered the snow wolves had nothing to do with his East Qin imperial clan. He wasn’t willing to shoulder the blame, either!

As he prepared to explain himself, a raging Lil Thing ignored him to run for Gu Beiyue. It wasn’t affected by Bai Yanqing’s goading and chose to save its gentleman. In Gu Beiyue’s arms, it instantly transformed into its squirrel form and was reduced to the size of a fist-shaped furball. It knew its gentleman all too well and quickly dug out one of his golden daggers from his sleeves. Then it placed it in the gentleman’s hands before showing him its back.

Even though it had an undying body, it was still afraid of pain. A tiny body like that couldn’t take even the slightest of pangs. This way, it wouldn’t see the knife, but it still closed its eyes and waited with taut nerves.

Gu Qishao couldn’t believe his eyes. He began to doubt whether the little beast had taken a fancy to Gu Beiyue. If I’m like a jade tree with exquisite looks to topple both men and women, could Gu Beiyue be a man who topples both humans and beasts?

Long Feiye creased his brows, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. He was about to help Han Yunxi up when he saw her eyes were open.
