Feeling Chu Yan's Origin Qi flow into her body, Liu Qingcheng knew she had misunderstood Chu Yan, and her small face couldn't help but flush red.
"I'm sorry... I just, I just thought you were going to..."
"You thought I was going to do what to you?" Chu Yan smiled slyly.
Liu Qingcheng's small face flushed, and she lowered her head slightly in shyness: "I thought you were going to do that..."
Chu Yan laughed instantly: "I say, Young Miss, your imagination is truly rich. Do you take me for Qin Feng? You are my fiancée, you will be mine sooner or later. If I wanted to bully you, couldn't I just wait until after the grand wedding? Besides, this young master is very pure. For my first time, I should at least choose a place with a better environment, right? Do you want it to be in front of a dead person?"
As Chu Yan spoke, he suddenly paused, a wicked smile on his face: "Hmm, wife, you don't have any special fetishes, do you?"
Liu Qingcheng's jade-like face instantly turned extremely gloomy. If it weren't for her being poisoned, she would even suspect that she could slap Chu Yan into a wall crack, making him unretrievable.
But Liu Qingcheng still endured it. Chu Yan grinned and said: "That's a good girl. But seriously, now you know, right? From now on, you must listen to your husband, otherwise, it's very easy to suffer losses."
Liu Qingcheng was silent for a moment. This incident indeed left her with lingering fears. If Chu Yan hadn't followed her in time, she would have truly fallen into Qin Feng's Dao. As soon as she thought of this, hatred rose in her heart.
"What a cunning Spring Poison!"
At this moment, Chu Yan had already exhausted half of his Origin Qi, but Liu Qingcheng's body was still like a raging fire, the medicinal effect showed no sign of receding, and instead, there was a hint of it growing even stronger, which made his face increasingly grim.
"This poison is actually devouring my Origin Qi to strengthen itself?" Chu Yan discovered some clues. As he spoke, he removed Liu Qingcheng's white robe, and instantly her jade-like beautiful back was exposed before Chu Yan.
"Ah!"
Liu Qingcheng shrieked, immediately glaring at Chu Yan with anger. Only when she saw Chu Yan's haggard face did she calm down a little.
"Don't overthink it. I said that I wouldn't touch you before the grand wedding, and I won't. This poison is a bit tricky; through clothes, I can't accurately locate the Acupoints. Don't worry, in this bloody scene, I won't do that to you."
Hearing Chu Yan's words, Liu Qingcheng lowered her head shyly and did not retort. She hesitated for a long while, then murmured.
"Today... thank you."
Although she was very reluctant to admit it, she knew that if it hadn't been for Chu Yan today, a great disaster would have occurred.
By then, the Liu Family might even be destroyed because of her impulsive act, and she would become the Liu Family's eternal sinner.
Chu Yan was startled, then he laughed, "Haha, it seems my hero saving the beauty today was quite effective, wasn't it? It seems the more idiots like Qin Feng there are, the better, so that this young master can climb into this little girl's bed earlier."
"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly." However, thinking this in his heart, Chu Yan still decided to tease Liu Qingcheng again, but unexpectedly, he was met with a splash of cold water.
"If you didn't hear it, then forget it." Liu Qingcheng's voice instantly turned cold.
Of course, Chu Yan didn't know that Liu Qingcheng's behavior wasn't due to his teasing, but merely her own heart playing tricks on her.
She was a proud daughter of heaven, and she couldn't forgive herself for such a foolish act and the near-disaster she had almost caused today.
Chu Yan was also sensible. From then on, he stopped arguing with Liu Qingcheng and instead focused all his efforts on detoxifying Liu Qingcheng.
Another half an incense stick passed. This poison was even more potent than Chu Yan had imagined. It had almost completely exhausted all of his Origin Qi, yet it still showed no signs of weakening. This made Chu Yan frown slightly. Although he had been a waste for ten years and his cultivation was not as good as Liu Qingcheng's, his own Origin Qi was exceptionally robust, even comparable to that of a typical Moving Dust Realm cultivator. But now, having exhausted all his Origin Qi, he still couldn't resolve the poison, which made his face grow paler.
Soon, sweat had already begun to stream down Chu Yan's forehead, and the upper half of his clothes were soaked, causing him to narrow his eyes involuntarily.
"It seems I underestimated this poison. Is it time to use my trump card?"
Chu Yan murmured to himself, but now it was a matter of life and death. Chu Yan discovered that these Spring Poison were slowly eroding Liu Qingcheng's Origin Qi, just like a parasite. If they couldn't be resolved in time, it could very likely cause serious sequelae for Liu Qingcheng.
Actually, there was a simplest way to solve this kind of poison, which was for a man and woman to engage in sexual intercourse. With the power of Yin and Yang, this poison could be immediately resolved. However, apart from that, it was very difficult to remove.
"Whew...!" Chu Yan sighed deeply. He suddenly withdrew his Origin Qi.
"What's wrong?" Liu Qingcheng frowned anxiously. She knew her poison hadn't been removed yet, but why had Chu Yan suddenly stopped?
"Don't look back, and don't ask anything. It might hurt a little next, you have to bear it."
Chu Yan said faintly, then without giving Liu Qingcheng a chance to reply, several silver needles suddenly appeared in his hand. Each silver needle was three inches long, perfectly hidden within Chu Yan's fingers. His wrist flicked, and then one by one, the needles flew out silently.
"Ah!"
Liu Qingcheng couldn't help but let out a soft cry. She only felt a burning pain from her back. Those silver needles had actually pierced into her beautiful back, one by one.
But the pain was fleeting, replaced by a warmth, as if a gentle large hand was smoothing out her meridians.
At this moment, looking at Liu Qingcheng's beautiful back from behind, there were several small red blood spots. Before long, these small blood spots gradually turned dark black, and only then did a little bit of toxin flow out from Liu Qingcheng's body. Throughout the entire process, Chu Yan maintained a serious expression, striving to keep his breathing steady.
"It's finally over."
When all the toxins were forced out of Liu Qingcheng's body, Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, his wrists were trembling slightly, and the Origin Qi in his body was like a dried-up river.
Suddenly, Chu Yan's vision blurred. Because he had expended so much energy, he leaned against Liu Qingcheng's beautiful back.
"What are you doing?" Liu Qingcheng was startled.
"Don't move. I'll just lean on you for a bit. Don't go out either; outside are all Qin Family members. Now that your poison has just been removed, your Origin Qi is less than thirty percent of its full power. We'll go out together after I recover." Chu Yan said weakly.
Seeing that Chu Yan wasn't being excessive, Liu Qingcheng stopped struggling, but she still felt a little awkward. She had never even held a man's hand since she was little, but now she was being leaned on by Chu Yan like this, which made her small face flush a little.
But she also knew that Chu Yan was so weak because of her. In fact, Chu Yan could have completely used the simplest method to remove the Spring Poison, and afterwards, he could have completely shifted the blame to Qin Feng. But he didn't, which made Liu Qingcheng feel a little bit of goodwill towards Chu Yan.
Looking at Chu Yan's haggard appearance, Liu Qingcheng's beautiful eyes were filled with questions, constantly asking herself in her heart.
"What kind of person are you, after all?"
Liu Qingcheng didn't know much about Chu Yan, only that he was the person Liu Tianfeng wanted her to marry, saying he was a Dragon among men. But ever since he appeared, he seemed more like a ruffian, full of evilness and profligacy, which made her detest him to the extreme.
But now, as she looked at the young man occasionally snoring on her beautiful back, her heart was filled with a little bit of curiosity.
"It seems I misjudged you. Everyone in Tian Yong City misjudged you. What exactly are you hiding, and what are you concealing?" Liu Qingcheng thought to herself. She remembered a senior once telling her that the stronger a person appears, the more fragile their heart might be, and the more they pretend to be fine, the more likely they have experienced hardships. And Chu Yan was precisely like that.
Chu Yan didn't know what Liu Qingcheng was thinking, but... had he truly experienced hardships? Chu Yan knew that he had.
On Liu Qingcheng's back, Chu Yan wasn't in a deep sleep, but merely in a state of subconscious rest. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from outside the inn, which made Chu Yan instantly open his eyes, his gaze like a awakened beast.
"Shh!" Chu Yan made a gesture to Liu Qingcheng to keep quiet: "Who is it!"
"Guest, I'm the waiter from this inn."
"Come in!"
The waiter then pushed open the door. At first, his face was still full of lewdness. He had expected to see a scene of passion when he opened the door, but unexpectedly, the first thing that caught his eye was Qin Feng's corpse.
"Ah!"
The waiter screamed, and the tray in his hand instantly fell to the ground: "You actually killed Young Master Qin! You're dead! You're dead!"
As the waiter spoke, he turned to run, but Chu Yan reacted extremely quickly. With a slap of his palm, a sword blade he had previously discarded was instantly vibrated upwards. He kicked it, sending the sword blade flying out.
"Whoosh!"
The sword blade directly pierced through the waiter's chest, taking his life.
Upon seeing this scene, Liu Qingcheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly. She looked at Chu Yan with a hint of reproach: "Chu Yan! Why did you kill him!"
"If I didn't kill him, the ones who would die next might be us."
Chu Yan sighed, too lazy to argue with Liu Qingcheng. He directly got up and went over to the waiter's body, rummaging through it. He found a jade bottle and threw it to Liu Qingcheng: "Take a look yourself."
"Spring Poison?" Liu Qingcheng took the jade bottle, her jade-like face turning slightly grim.
"He was the one who poisoned your wine earlier, and his gaze towards you was always filled with lust. My wife is so beautiful, how can just anyone covet her? Hmph, killing him was me being polite." Chu Yan snorted, then glanced at Liu Qingcheng: "I've recovered, let's go."
Hearing Chu Yan's praise, Liu Qingcheng's heart was still quite pleased. At this moment, the poison was resolved. Although she couldn't fully exert her Qi yet, walking freely was no problem. She quickly followed Chu Yan.
The two left the inn, and just as Qin Feng had said, within a thousand meters, everyone had been driven away by the Qin Family, and the surroundings were entirely Qin Family guards.
