Chapter 1167: Long Feiye’s silent warning (2/2)

Gu Qishao immediately slashed through the vine with his sword, only to discover it was impervious to his blade. Now Gu Qishao was excited as well. “Fire, bring me fire, quick!” he cried.

Long Feiye tossed him a torch and Gu Qishao proceeded to burn the vine. To their delight, it didn’t destroy the plant.

“It’s the same!” Gu Qishao cried in joy.

“Your Highness, you try!” Gu Beiyue urged next.

Gu Qishao got out of the way as Long Feiye unleashed his Lustbite energy and hacked down with his sword, only to see...only to see the vine sliced through.

The results left the group of four extremely moved. Vines suddenly flew out from Gu Qishao’s right sleeve to head for Long Feiye. Understanding his intentions, he faced them with Lustbite energy. As Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue both watched tensely, Long Feiye’s sword hacked Gu Qishao’s vines to pieces.

Silence greeted the aftermath. Gu Qishao looked at Long Feiye in disbelief, a little dumbfounded. At last he said, “Long Feiye, you’re really capable of killing me!”

Han Yunxi was almost too happy to speak. She tugged at Long Feiye and exclaimed, “Our guesses were right! They’re right! There’s no such thing as an undying body! They simply have greater endurance and recovery rates than normal humans. It’s not impossible for the Lustbite energy to kill Poison Gu humans!”

“Yes! Senior Han Chen was right. There are stronger powers than the Lustbite energy on the Mysterious Continent also capable of killing off Poison Gu humans and Qishao!” Gu Beiyue was excited. “Our theory has to be correct! Bai Yanqing’s undying body follows the same principle as Qishao’s! We’ll definitely find a way to cure Gu Qishao’s body! For sure!”

Han Yunxi grinned. “Gu Qishao, we’ll create the antidote first. If a day comes that Qishao’s body shows abnormalities that we can’t treat, he just has to take the antidote and turn back to a normal human. If nothing goes wrong, you can choose to grow old with us or stay as Lil Thing’s companion. That’s your choice.”

Gu Qishao subconsciously glanced at Gu Beiyue, who looked back. Poison lass had thought of everything for him, but she had no idea that his body was already showing abnormalities. Still, he put on a fit of narcissism and said loudly, “Someone as loyal as me will definitely want to turn old with the rest of you!”

As he spoke, he walked towards Long Feiye and rested a hand on his shoulder. “Long Feiye, how about having your daughter acknowledge me as her godfather one day? That’ll make up for me being unable to marry her. How’s it sound?”

Long Feiye didn’t speak, but suddenly grabbed Gu Qishao’s other hand and snuck his fingers up the sleeve. To Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue, it only looked like Long Feiye was trying to wrench himself free, but his actions caused Gu Qishao to freeze. That was because Long Feiye had touched the abnormal state of his arm.

Long Feiye soon released Gu Qishao and only regarded him with a cold look. As if threatened, Gu Qishao shut up. As it was common for Long Feiye to silence Gu Qishao with a single look, neither Han Yunxi nor Gu Beiyue thought much of it.

Gu Beiyue said, “Princess, why don’t we take some Poison Gu blood for use late and cure Bai Yanqing’s poison now?”

Han Yunxi had already combined the nine toxic teardrops into a small bottle. She also successfully analyzed each of their poison properties and ingredients to compare with the remaining Perplexing Butterfly Illusion in her hands. After recording down all their types and quantities, she handed the record to Gu Beiyue. The nine toxic teardrops were potent poisons on their own, but together their toxicity weakened. It couldn’t even dissolve simple wood and plants, to say nothing of a human body. Han Yunxi knew they were still capable of dissolving something, but she didn’t know what.

If their theory on the plant essence extract was true, then these teardrops were probably targeting that vey essence in Bai Yanqing’s body. Of course, this was only a guess and they needed to test it. They wanted to see how the nine toxic teadops would affect Bai Yanqing’s Poison Gu body and whether his constitution and blood would change afterwards. Moreover, they had to destroy his immortality, or else it’d be impossible to trap him.

Gu Qishao immediately took some of Bai Yanqing’s blood, then got the bottle of combined toxic teardrops from Han Yunxi. He looked at the crowd, who nodded back at him, then poured the liquid down Bai Yanqing’s throat. Gu Beiyue hastened to take Bai Yanqing’s pulse.

“His pulse is getting weaker!” Gu Beiyue announced.

Han Yunxi couldn’t help it and went to take his pulse as well. Like Gu Beiyue said, Bai Yanqing’s heartrate was growing weaker. His body even seem to grow exhausted and show signs of heading towards death.

“He won’t die, right?” Han Yunxi was worried.

“His body is getting weaker. Check his breathing! “Gu Beiyue was a little anxious.

Gu Qishao placed a finger under Bai Yanqing’s nose and turned alarmed. “His breathing’s very weak. His internal organs couldn’t have rotted away, right?”

“No, it’s normal exhaustion,” Gu Beiyue was certain. The poison teardrops were an antidote capable of removing an undying body’s inherent traits. It couldn’t kill Bai Yanqing!

What’s going on? Bai Yanqing’s not going to die just like this, right?
