Within the Human Emperor Hall of the royal palace, the Human Emperor was lying on his dragon bed in a luxurious chamber.
The Human Emperor of Ye, although he was quietly lying there, exuded a sense of majesty. His black hair had a few strands of silver mixed within, making him extremely conspicuous. His eyes were opened, revealing traces of fatigue. However, that majestic countenance of his had a faint smile on it as he stared at the beautiful maiden beside him.
He knew that this woman was none other than the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley. If it wasn't for the fact that Ye had some friendship with the Medicine Sovereign Valley in the past, the Medicine Sovereign Valley wouldn't have sent their Holy Maiden here personally.
Very few people in the outside world knew of the strength of the Medicine Sovereign Valley. They wouldn't interfere with external affairs, but because they were proficient in pill concoction, no one dared to offend them.
However, what made the Human Emperor taken aback was that the person standing beside the Holy Maiden was actually a young man. This young man was extraordinarily handsome and stood out from the crowd. As the Human Emperor of Ye, he had seen countless people in his life and he could faintly sense that this young man in front of him was no ordinary person. Standing in the majestic chamber of the Human Emperor, Qin Wentian's heart was as calm as still water, even looking at him as though he was an ordinary injured person.
Even though he was heavily injured, he was still as imposing as ever. A single glance from him could cause the hearts of juniors to tremble in fear.
"Royal Father, this is Qin Wentian, a junior brother of mine who just joined the sect. On the first day he stepped into the Battle Sword Sect, he comprehended fourteen sword strikes in front of the grass hut, breaking the record of the seventh and fourteenth sword strikes consecutively. Many elders wanted to take him as a disciple and even the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness personally invited him, only to be rejected by Junior Brother Qin."
Ye Lingshuang sat on the bed as she smiled at her father. The Human Emperor nodded, he naturally knew about the legend of the Battle Sword Sect's grass hut.
"That old witch, the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness, is extremely arrogant. Little Brother Qin actually rejected her invitation to take him as a disciple in front of so many people. The younger generations will surpass us in time." Emperor Ye laughed, his words causing those from the Battle Sword Sect to be astonished. Only the Human Emperor of ancient countries or the clan leaders of the major clans would dare to refer to the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness as an old witch.
"Junior Brother Qin and the Holy Maiden are truly a match made in heaven." Ye Lingshuang held onto the Human Emperor's hand as she smiled. Although her heart was filled with sorrow, Ye Lingshuang still had a radiant smile in front of the Human Emperor.
The Human Emperor didn't find it strange. In fact, when the Holy Maiden came in for the second time to diagnose him and saw how intimate the two of them were, Ye Lingshuang's first sentence allowed him to guess the relationship between the two of them. Most probably, the Holy Maiden took into consideration that Qin Wentian was the junior apprentice brother of his daughter, Ye Lingshuang, which was why she was willing to diagnose him again.
"It is indeed a match made in heaven." The Human Emperor laughed. He wasn't trying to flatter Qin Wentian. What sort of character was he? The Human Emperor of Ye Country, he could dominate the world unhindered. Even if he had to face a life and death situation, he wouldn't go so far as to flatter others. It was just that when he stared at this couple before him, he couldn't help but think back to when he was young.
"Bi You, do you still remember the seven-colored phoenix feather robe?" The Human Emperor glanced at a beautiful lady beside him. This was none other than his wife, the Empress of Ye Country.
"I still remember. Back then when the two of us roamed the Supreme Demon Mountain Range, we slayed a Yafeng and obtained its wings to forge a divine weapon." The Empress of Ye smiled.
"Give it to the Holy Maiden as a congratulatory gift for their wedding in the future. How about it?" The Human Emperor spoke to the Empress.
"Senior Human Emperor." Qin Wentian felt some shock in his heart. Just when he wanted to reject, the Human Emperor continued, "Although I'm in dire straits, I still have many treasures. This divine weapon isn't for you but for your future wife. How can you reject it?"
Qin Wentian's eyes flickered before he nodded his head, "In that case, many thanks to Senior Human Emperor."
He wasn't a pretentious person. Since the Human Emperor said so, he could only accept it.
Mo Qingcheng's beautiful eyes flickered. Seeing that Qin Wentian had agreed, she didn't say anything else. An instant later, the Empress walked over with a brocade box in her hands. Within it, there was a dazzling seven-colored divine robe. The robe shimmered with astral light, yet it was so thin that it seemed to be translucent.
"This divine weapon was forged by the Human Emperor in the past, and was given to the Empress as a token of love. After that, the Human Emperor and the Empress got married. The meaning behind this gift is extraordinary." One of the Human Emperor's concubines smiled. Evidently, the Human Emperor hoped that this pair of youths would become a pair in the future.
Mo Qingcheng glanced at Qin Wentian beside her, as a hint of sweetness could be seen in her eyes. She received the treasure and spoke with gratitude, "Many thanks to the Human Emperor and Empress."
"Haha, you came all the way here to treat a dying man like me. Little brother is also the junior apprentice brother of Lingshuang. With such fate, what does a mere gift count for?" The Human Emperor casually laughed. However, his voice was filled with a faint sense of weakness, as though he was out of breath.
"The poison he was afflicted with is a blood poison." At this moment, a voice drifted over. Qin Wentian's countenance stiffened as he turned his head, staring at Mu Feng as he asked, "Mu Feng, do you know of this poison?"
"The concealment ability of the blood poison is the strongest, but once it's activated, its toxicity is also the most terrifying. It hides within the blood vessels, and once it's activated, the blood vessels will circulate throughout the entire body, causing every part of the body to be tainted with this poison. There's no cure, and it's extremely difficult to use medicinal pills or medicinal herbs to cure it. Unless it's a supreme-grade medicinal pill, it would be able to transform one's blood vessels, and at the same time, imbue it with healing properties. Every drop of blood is a medicinal pill, and after it's activated, it would circulate throughout the entire body, cleansing the body of the poison."
Mu Feng explained. Mo Qingcheng's heart trembled, she knew that the Human Emperor's poison had already spread throughout his entire body. However, she wasn't proficient in poison, and didn't know that this was caused by the blood poison.
The people in the ancient hall all stared at Mu Feng, they didn't expect this person to be proficient in poison.
"He's my friend, Mu Feng. His master is known as the Poison King, and I'm sure he's extremely proficient in poison." Qin Wentian introduced, "Qingcheng, do you have such a medicinal pill?"
"There's indeed a medicinal pill that can cleanse the poison in one's blood. However, since this poison was able to harm the Human Emperor, it should be extremely tyrannical. Only a fifth-ranked medicinal pill would be able to cleanse it. However, this medicinal pill is too rare, I've never heard of it before. I wonder if Master knows of it," Mo Qingcheng whispered. Mo Qingcheng spoke in a low voice. The Human Emperor laughed, "What a ruthless method. Since they poisoned me, how could they allow me to recover so easily?"
At this moment, Mu Feng's gaze shifted onto Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian furrowed his brows as a bright light flashed in his mind. He suddenly understood the meaning behind Mu Feng's gaze. Back then, he was poisoned by Mu Feng, but he managed to heal himself. It seemed like Mu Feng still remembered this scene. Since Qin Wentian was able to heal himself, it meant that there must be something extraordinary about his body.
Qin Wentian closed his eyes, quietly comprehending the second type of bloodline power within his body. Back then, it was precisely this bloodline power that helped him expel all the poison in his body, making him impervious to all poisons.
"Holy Maiden, is there really no way to find such a medicinal pill?" Ye Lingshuang stared at Mo Qingcheng, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
However, Mo Qingcheng shook her head, "I really have no idea. It's unheard of for one's bloodline to possess a healing ability. Even some of the elders in the Medicine Sovereign Valley might not be able to do so. Also, the Human Emperor has already experienced a great battle, and the poison has already spread to all parts of his body. Other than this method, there's no other way to cure him."
"No wonder they spared no expense to force me to fight. Seems like this is Heaven's Will. Now, the only thing I'm worried about is you guys. After I die, they will definitely not spare you." The Human Emperor stared at his wife and children.
"Royal Father." Ye Lingshuang's eyes were slightly moist, she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart. The Human Emperor of a generation was at the end of his life. Who could read the eyes of the Human Emperor? He only wished for the safety of his family.
"There's still hope." Qin Wentian opened his eyes, causing the gazes of everyone to turn to him.
"Senior Human Emperor, you can rest in peace. As for the matter of recovery, we will discuss it when we return." Qin Wentian didn't say anything more. The implications of the Human Emperor's injuries were too great. If others knew that there was a possibility to cure him, there would definitely be people who would take the risk. That would be disadvantageous to them. Hence, even if they could cure the Human Emperor, they had to be incomparably cautious.
A bright light flashed in the eyes of the Human Emperor. He stared deeply at Qin Wentian as he spoke, "Fine, as long as I'm not dead, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Even if I die, I will make them wait patiently. I really want to see who would dare to overturn the heavens in the Ye Country if this Emperor doesn't close my eyes."
An expression of admiration appeared on Qin Wentian's face. Even at the brink of death, the Human Emperor was still so tyrannical. As long as he wasn't dead, there wouldn't be anyone who would dare to launch a coup d 'état. Such a ruthless hegemon, even when he was on the verge of death, still possessed such terrifying might. One could very well imagine how awe-inspiring he was back then.
Qin Wentian and the rest bid their farewells and returned to the Medicine Sovereign Palace prepared for those from the Medicine Sovereign Valley. The people from the Medicine Sovereign Valley frowned when they saw Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng walking side by side towards the direction of Mo Qingcheng's sleeping quarters.
As the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley, Mo Qingcheng's status was extraordinary. Each and every one of her actions represented the Medicine Sovereign Valley.
"Holy Maiden." Upon thinking of this, someone called out to Mo Qingcheng and Qin Wentian.
Mo Qingcheng turned her head and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The sleeping quarters of the Holy Maiden are not to be entered by outsiders." One of the maidens stared at Qin Wentian as she coldly spoke.
"IMPUDENT!" Mo Qingcheng coldly snorted when she saw that the maidens were targeting Qin Wentian. Her words caused the countenance of the maidens to change as she bowed, "Holy Maiden, this concerns your reputation. In any case, this place is the royal palace of the Ye Country, there's no way you can hide this from the eyes and ears of others."
"Qingcheng …" Qin Wentian's heart trembled, the words of the maidens weren't without reason. If Mo Qingcheng's reputation was damaged, he naturally wouldn't be willing to do so.
However, Mo Qingcheng held onto his hand as she turned her head to look at him with a radiant smile on her face. Maybe, only when facing him, would Mo Qingcheng reveal such a smile.
"Let me tell all of you right now, I'm his wife." Mo Qingcheng spoke to the maidens. After which, she pulled Qin Wentian along as she continued, "Without my command, no one is to disturb us."
The countenances of those from the Medicine Sovereign Valley froze, all of them were speechless. The feelings the Holy Maiden had for Qin Wentian had already surpassed everything. It was more important than her status as the Holy Maiden, more important than her reputation, and even more important than the Medicine Sovereign Valley. This was something they couldn't accept.
"No one is to divulge any information regarding this matter." One of the maidens coldly stated. "Seal this entire space."
