Wuqiong Bi had never imagined that she would meet this person in White Emperor City.
Although Xuanyuan Po had left the capital for several years, she believed that this person would never forget the grudge from back then, just like her.
Thus, his words and his seemingly innocent actions assuredly hid an extremely sinister motive, just like her usual conduct.
Xuanyuan Po said nothing.
Wuqiong Bi spoke these words with a deep hatred. She seemed to be clenching her teeth, but her eyes were filled with fear.
It was clear that she was very afraid, afraid that Xuanyuan Po would kill her or notify the demi-human experts of White Emperor City.
Xuanyuan Po felt no joy at this sight. He only felt some loathing and pity.
He said to Bie Yanghong, "The Deer tribe's medicine storehouse is not far away. I know the steward, so I should be able to get some medicine."
Bie Yanghong replied, "If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Little Brother."
Wuqiong Bi harshly retorted, "I don't believe you."
Xuanyuan Po ignored her, taking the medicine list Bie Yanghong had written and leaving the room.
Wuqiong Bi's expression flickered at the sound of the door closing. Nervously and angrily, she yelled at Bie Yanghong, "This bear cub has an old grudge with me. If you let him leave, he will assuredly notify the Demi-human Court! You don't even know him, so why would you rather believe him than me? "
Bie Yanghong calmly replied, "Although I don't know this person, I know that he is a student of the Orthodox Academy."
Wuqiong Bi froze at these words, but she said nothing more. Her right hand hanging by her side trembled, indicating that she was not in a calm state of mind.
After some time, Xuanyuan Po returned to the small courtyard in Three Harmonies Li. In his hand was a heavy bag that seemed to be packed with many things.
Bie Yanghong sincerely expressed his thanks. Xuanyuan Po shook his head, opened the bag, and took out the medicine.
Suddenly, there was the sound of rushing wind in the quiet room. A horsetail whisk trailed behind it as it attacked Xuanyuan Po's face.
Xuanyuan Po had not expected it and was too late to respond. Fortunately, the Mountain Sea Sword promptly flew through the air and crossed over his head, blocking the horsetail whisk.
With a clap, the small courtyard swayed and the dust in the cracks in the floorboards was jolted into the air.
If it weren't for the Spiritual Wood True Tower Formation on the ground, the commotion would have been even greater.
Xuanyuan Po knelt on the ground on one knee, holding the iron sword horizontally in front of him. He felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. It was extremely strenuous, and his breathing became much heavier.
He raised his head to look at Wuqiong Bi's eyes that seemed to want to devour him, furious and confused, he yelled, "Have you gone mad!"
Wuqiong Bi harshly retorted, "Back then, I wanted to kill you, and tonight, I even less want to accept your favor, or else it would be a humiliation. So you must die, and only a dead person will not reveal the secret!"
He had grown up in the mountains of a remote tribe, and when he went to the capital, he studied and lived in the simplest of places like Star Seizer Academy and the Orthodox Academy. Xuanyuan Po simply couldn't understand Wuqiong Bi's logic and angrily said, "Woman, how could you be so vicious!"
Malicious or crazy, Wuqiong Bi was still an expert of the Divine Domain. Even though she had lost an arm and was heavily injured, she was still countless times stronger than Xuanyuan Po.
The iron sword gradually sank, and Xuanyuan Po looked as if he would not be able to hold on any longer. All of a sudden, a tinge of color appeared in the quiet room.
This tinge was bright red, moist, and incomparably fresh. It was that little red flower.
Wuqiong Bi's face was filled with shock and fear as she stared at the little red flower. She quickly drew back her horsetail whisk and placed it in front of her.
With a few light pops, Bie Yanghong's finger descended like the wind, sealing off two of Wuqiong Bi's meridians.
Wuqiong Bi was furious. She mobilized her true essence to forcefully break through the seal and counterattack.
Bie Yanghong drew back his finger and watched the approaching horsetail whisk. He did not move.
Wuqiong Bi's expression froze, her movements a little sluggish.
Bie Yanghong vomited a mouthful of true blood, his face instantly paling.
The little red flower flew back to his side and quietly floated there. Drops of dew began to appear on its heavily damaged petals, as if it was weeping.
After leaving the plateau, the bit of true essence that Bie Yanghong had gathered after several hours had completely dissipated with this mouthful of true blood.
Wuqiong Bi saw this and finally understood. With a cry, she threw herself at him, embraced him, and began to weep.
"You're crazy! Just for a bear cub like this! "
Xuanyuan Po had a very perplexed expression.
He did not understand what was going on.
He had clearly wanted to save Bie Yanghong out of goodwill, so why did Wuqiong Bi want to kill him, and why did Bie Yanghong want to protect him? Why did Wuqiong Bi want Bie Yanghong dead in her rage, and why did she want nothing more than to die in his place when she saw Bie Yanghong vomit blood and in such pain?
Were this couple of experts of the continent crazy?
Xuanyuan Po fell quiet for a while, then said, "There are many people that want to capture the two of you. In the next two days, a major event will occur in White Emperor City, and many more experts will arrive. The two of you should stay here and not go out. I have some matters to take care of in the next two days. When the time comes, we'll see how to deal with them."
After saying this, he put away the Mountain Sea Sword, placed the medicine and the food and water he had bought on the ground, and got up to leave.
When he reached the paper door, he stopped and suddenly asked, "Teacher, how could a person like you marry a woman like this?"
Bie Yanghong did not answer this question.
The wooden door to the courtyard closed once more, and silence returned. The only sound was the soft rustling of the short pine tree in the night wind.
The room was quiet for a very long time, until the mood became increasingly oppressive and awkward.
Wuqiong Bi looked at Bie Yanghong and said in a trembling voice, "Senior Brother, have you always regretted marrying me all these years?"
Bie Yanghong faintly smiled at her. "Just what nonsense are you thinking?"
"I presume that this is not the first time you've heard what that bear cub said."
The more Wuqiong Bi thought about it, the more embarrassed and angry she became. "Do you think I don't know? In front of the Mausoleum of Books, on Holy Maiden Peak, whether it was that Demon Empress of Tianhai or Wang Po, wasn't this the same look in their eyes when they looked at me? The entire world thinks that I'm not worthy of you! "
Bie Yanghong sighed. "Why do we need to care about what other people think of the matter between us?"
Wuqiong Bi yelled, "Aren't you the same? You think that I often embarrass you in front of the world."
Bie Yanghong calmly gazed at her and said, "Junior Sister, I've never regretted marrying you, only regretted spoiling you too much."
When he said this, his expression was very sincere.
Wuqiong Bi froze.
It was hard to say if she really understood the meaning of these words.
She only knew that she wanted to say something, but she realized that she didn't know what to say.
She felt deeply wronged and began to weep bitterly, thinking, why was my luck so bad that I just had to meet this person?
