The incantation wasn't very long, so Song Qingshu quickly finished reciting it. Li Mochou had been practicing according to the incantation, and Venerated Ming's Zhen Qi had been monitoring the situation in her body.
Feeling the chaotic Zhen Qi in her body gradually dissipating, Venerated Ming nodded. Suddenly, a suction force came from Li Mochou's body, and the Zhen Qi that Venerated Ming was inspecting dissipated uncontrollably in her body. However, Venerated Ming was prepared and quickly cut off the connection between the Zhen Qi and himself.
Noticing the change in his expression, Song Qingshu said in a deep voice, "I've already recited the incantation. It's your turn to release them."
Venerated Ming laughed, "Since you've kept your promise, I won't go back on my words. I'll return them to you now." As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped Zhao Min's back, pushing the two girls in front of Song Qingshu. His figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
Venerated Ming was an old monster that had lived for thousands of years, so how could he easily believe someone else's promise? Seeing that Song Qingshu's incantation wasn't fake, his suspicions deepened. He thought that if he released the hostages, Song Qingshu would definitely attack him, so he slapped Zhao Min's body, seriously injuring her, but not immediately killing her. Thus, in order to heal her, Song Qingshu had to give up on chasing him.
As for why he didn't slap Li Mochou, it was because he sensed that Li Mochou was already on the verge of death. He was worried that if he couldn't withstand his slap and died, it would backfire and cause Song Qingshu to chase after him for revenge.
Zhao Min only felt her vision go black, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her whole body floated forward as if she was weightless. Just when she felt that her consciousness was about to dissipate, she felt her body fall into a warm embrace. She struggled to open her eyes and saw Song Qingshu's anxious expression. She couldn't help but smile, and then she fainted.
Song Qingshu held Zhao Min's soft body, and his eyes flashed with a trace of fierceness as he looked into the darkness. After hesitating for a while, he finally gave up the idea of chasing. He couldn't help but admit that Venerated Ming's attack was really clever.
"How … is she?" The chaotic Zhen Qi within Li Mochou's body had been completely dispersed. She had also absorbed a strand of Revered Ming's Zhen Qi. Even though it was only a strand, Revered Ming's Zhen Qi was extremely powerful. Obtaining this strand of pure Zhen Qi was no less than absorbing the Zhen Qi of a top notch expert in Jianghu. Although her injuries had yet to fully recover, as long as she rested for a few hours, she would be fine.
"It's not optimistic," Song Qingshu said with a frown. "Protect her from the side. I'll stabilize her injuries first."
"Alright!" Li Mochou nodded, but there was a flash of excitement in her eyes. Previously, I was seriously injured, and I was humiliated by Zhao Min in various ways. Now that the tables have turned, hmph, just wait and see how I deal with you, little girl!
Two hours later, Zhao Min finally woke up. The first thing she said was, "I'm not dead yet?"
Behind her came Song Qingshu's laughter, "With me here, it won't be that easy for you to die even if you want to."
Only then did Zhao Min realize that she was half-lying in Song Qingshu's arms. Her face was slightly red, and she struggled to get up. However, a sharp pain came from her limbs and bones.
"Don't move around. Right now, your injuries have only stabilized. It's far from the point where you can jump around." Although Song Qingshu's words were reprimanding her, the concern in his words was evident.
Zhao Min's heart trembled. She didn't know why, but such an ordinary sentence moved her very much. For the first time, she felt that lying in Song Qingshu's arms did not require any pretense. She felt very comfortable. However, when she saw Li Mochou at the side, she suddenly felt awkward.
She hurriedly tried to find a topic to cover up her awkwardness, "That Zhang … Where's Revered Ming?"
"Of course he ran away," Song Qingshu replied indifferently.
"You let him go just like that?" Zhao Min was immediately somewhat dissatisfied.
"What else could I do? Leave you alone and watch you die?" Song Qingshu silently laughed.
Zhao Min immediately became silent. After a long time, she sighed, "Revered Ming was right. You are soft-hearted."
"If you want to kill him, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. However, if you die, there won't be a second Princess Shao Min in this world." Hugging Zhao Min's soft body and smelling the faint fragrance on her body, Song Qingshu did not have the slightest desire. Instead, he felt endless pity.
Zhao Min's face reddened, and she hurriedly said, "I know that you deliberately let him go because you still need him to help you restrain the Mongols. It's just like how Huarong Dao let Cao Cao go during the Three Kingdoms period. Therefore, don't expect me to be grateful to you."
Song Qingshu immediately laughed involuntarily. Zhao Min was currently acting like a stubborn little girl. She was clearly grateful in her heart, but she was unwilling to admit it. Why was it that so many of the women he had met had the "honest body but honest mouth" attribute?
Li Mochou couldn't help but snort, "I thought that I was already considered to be someone who repaid kindness with enmity. Only after meeting you did I realize that there is always someone better out there."
Previously, because of the matter of cultivating the Jade Women's Heart Sutra, she had tried to kill Song Qingshu. However, after this change, she personally saw him give up a golden opportunity to save the two of them. His words "I love the world, but I love beauties even more" shattered her cold and hard heart. Li Mochou was originally the kind of woman who would give up everything for love. After several interactions, she discovered that Song Qingshu seemed to be very different from the disgusting men in her memory. Unknowingly, the killing intent in her heart had already disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Min immediately said angrily, "You are his lover, of course you will speak up for him."
"What did you say!" Li Mochou suddenly stood up, her face instantly turning cold.
"Hmph, a man and a woman together in a room, and they even took off their clothes. If they aren't lovers, then what are they?" Even though Zhao Min was seriously injured, she still didn't have any intention of giving in.
A cold light flashed, Song Qingshu hurriedly swept away the Soul Freezing Silver Needles that were flying over. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Why are you guys doing this?"
Seeing that Song Qingshu was helping the other, Li Mochou couldn't help but feel depressed. She coldly snorted and said, "No wonder there are people who are fearful of Wuji. So it turns out that he knows that someone will stand up for him. I wonder who his lover is."
Song Qingshu immediately felt a headache, "You two are both girls, don't you find it unpleasant to keep calling him lover?"
"Humph!" The two women snorted at the same time and turned their heads to avoid looking at each other. Out of sight, out of mind.
Li Mochou was the first to break the awkward atmosphere in the room. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "Thank you for Prince Song's [Absorbing Stars]. My internal injuries have all been healed. Although my internal energy isn't at its peak, I should be able to recover quickly with [Absorbing Stars]."
Li Mochou was a demon who killed without batting an eye. She didn't feel guilty at all when she talked about absorbing other people's internal energy.
"It's just that for the young master to recite the true incantation and let Revered Ming hear it, it's a bit … Mochou is very grateful for the young master's kindness." Li Mochou's voice gradually became softer, and there was a hint of shyness in her voice. She only thought that Song QingShu took out the real mnemonic chant to save her.
Zhao Min saw her.
He couldn't help but chuckle, "What a stupid woman."
"What did you say?" Li Mochou only occasionally revealed a trace of a little girl's demeanor in front of Song Qingshu. In front of others, she was still the female demon who killed without batting an eye.
"I said you're stupid and you still don't want to admit it. Did you think that the incantation was real?" Zhao Min looked up at Song Qingshu with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Don't tell me that you're so stupid that you didn't tamper with the incantation. If you do, I'll be too disappointed in you."
Song Qingshu smiled embarrassedly, "Of course the incantation is real, but I did tamper with it a little."
"Then why am I fine when I practice it?" Li Mochou was startled. She secretly activated the [Absorbing Stars] in her body, and didn't seem to feel any discomfort.
"You're a woman, so of course you're fine." Song Qingshu coughed awkwardly.
"You changed it for men?" It was Zhao Min's turn to be surprised.
"Yes." Song Qingshu nodded, but didn't explain, as if there was something difficult to say.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Min was even more curious, "What kind of change is it for men?"
Song Qingshu's expression became even more strange. It turned out that the Blissful Zen he practiced had many incantations to strengthen men's Yang Qi. Just now, he completely reversed the incantation and mixed it with the real [Absorbing Stars]. With his current level of martial arts, it wasn't difficult for him to make changes that were in line with the principles of martial arts. Li Mochou was a woman, so naturally, it wasn't a problem for her to practice this incantation. The thicker the Pure Yin Qi, the better it was for her. But if a man practiced it, the Yang Qi would gradually decrease, and the Yin Qi would become thicker.
If it were any other changes, it wouldn't be a big deal. With Revered Ming's thousand years of experience in martial arts, there was no way he could hide it from him. But the Yin Qi and Yang Qi were extremely mysterious. They were the supreme arts of Tantric Buddhism. Even Revered Ming couldn't see through it. Moreover, when Li Mochou practiced it, he had been monitoring her and didn't notice anything strange.
Listening to his stammering explanation, Zhao Min and Li Mochou's expressions suddenly became extremely strange. Li Mochou and Song QingShu hadn't known each other for long, so it wasn't appropriate for her to reveal some of her thoughts. Zhao Min, however, didn't have this concern. She couldn't help but let out a sigh and said, "You men really are despicable and shameless. None of you are good."
This time, it was Song Qingshu's turn to be unhappy. He snorted, "What? You feel bad for making your old lover a eunuch?"
Zhao Min's face turned pale. She struggled to sit up from Song Qingshu's embrace. This sudden movement affected her internal injuries. She couldn't help but violently cough. Traces of blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth.
As soon as Song Qingshu said those words, he secretly regretted it. Some jokes shouldn't be made. He clearly didn't mean it that way, but he still couldn't help but deliberately tease her.
Li Mochou, who was at the side, laughed at his misfortune. She thought, "Cough, cough, it's best if you die from coughing."
Who knew that Zhao Min would suddenly raise her head and look at her. She coldly said, "Do you want me to die from coughing?"
Li Mochou was shocked. She thought that this woman was really good at reading people's minds.
Li Mochou wasn't someone who didn't dare to admit what she did. She coldly laughed and said, "So what if I did?"
Zhao Min quietly stared at her. Suddenly, she sweetly smiled and said, "I won't let you have your way." As she said that, she looked at Song Qingshu and sweetly asked, "Brother Qingshu, do you have a way to cure me?"
