Lu Qian said, "You don't understand? Then you have to think about it slowly. It's best if you can figure it out, but there's nothing you can do if you can't. " Nangong Xue sighed, "Forget it. I was possessed and made a mistake. Even if I can't take responsibility, don't tell me I don't have the courage to admit it? You don't have to hide it for me anymore. Just tell her. "
Lu Qian said, "Xueer, listen carefully. But 'for now', she only cares about Shixiong. She's always worried that he'll be in danger. She's afraid that he'll get his head smashed by a leaf while sitting under a tree, or that he'll get his feet cut by a pebble while walking. What should she do? She has to find a way to protect him. But people who are straightforward often go all the way. Even if they know you're good to them, it's one thing to be grateful, but it's another to do as you ask. We finally found a water source in the cave, but who knew that it might not be poisonous? She didn't want Shixiong to drink it. If she tried to persuade him directly, he'd definitely wave his hand and say, 'It's okay, it's okay.' She couldn't persuade him. So 'in desperation, she resorted to this method.' Ha, it's that cliché again. She wanted to use me to test whether or not the water was poisonous. You didn't expect that the noble Nangong heroine would have such a selfish side … but I still like it. "
His first few sentences were a calm analysis. Nangong Xue blushed as she listened, but she was the one who did it. Even if she wanted to refute, she couldn't. His last sentence, however, reverted to his original tone, teasing and flirting with her. In this situation, she didn't know whether to laugh or to be angry. She originally wanted to be friends with Lu Qian again, but she was afraid that he would hold a grudge and refuse to forgive her. But when everything returned to normal, she was at a loss again.
Li Yijie tried to smooth things over, "Alright, since the water isn't poisonous, it's a good thing for us. Let's not argue anymore. " He drank all the water in the cylinder in one gulp, and then scooped out a few more times from the pond to share with Nangong Xue and Cheng Jiaxuan. Their dry throats were suddenly moistened, and they felt a wave of coolness flow through their bodies. The fruit that entered their mouths was very sweet, and there was no strange smell.
He hadn't eaten for many days, so how could this little bit of food satisfy him? Instead, it aroused his thirst. In the end, he couldn't bear to use the bamboo tube to hold the water, so he directly used his hands to cup the water and drank it in big gulps. After a short while, they each drank their fill. Only now did he feel that his stomach was swollen to the point of discomfort. He no longer tried to avoid it and lay down on the ground. After taking a few deep breaths, he felt as if all the fatigue in his body had disappeared and he felt refreshed.
After lying like this for a while, Li Yijie suddenly felt a burst of heat in his body, as if a fireball had exploded inside his body. His zhenqi surged up again, surging all over his five viscera and six bowels.
In the past, whenever this happened, the more he tried to suppress it, the more intense the pain would be. However, he let nature take its course. After a while, the agitation would stop on its own. Every time it flared up, the pain would be unbearable. However, it came and went quickly, so she didn't feel much pain. Moreover, he had already figured out the pattern. As long as he didn't use his internal energy, there wouldn't be any major problems. However, a few days ago, when he tried to use his internal energy, he felt that it was too much. Perhaps it was because of this that his old injury flared up.
At first, he didn't want to disturb Nangong Xue and the others. They were all very tired, so there was no need to waste their energy on him. Thus, he tried his best to endure it. However, this time was different from the past. The heat rushed up to his head and his temples throbbed. His condition didn't improve at all. The last few times he was in so much pain that he broke out in cold sweat, but it had never been this serious. His mind was still trying to hold on, but his body's consciousness was no longer under his control. He rolled on the ground, hitting his head on the ground. The swollen water in his stomach made him feel nauseous, and his stomach hurt.
The most unbearable thing was the heat all over his body. It was as if he wasn't in a cave, but in a big furnace or by the side of a volcano. Waves of zhenqi circulated in his body, causing his hair to stand on end and his facial features to distort. His four limbs struggled violently. One moment he hugged his head with both hands, the next he pounded his chest. His movements were so violent that it made people wonder if his arms would fall off in the next moment.
Nangong Xue was shocked. "Shixiong … Shixiong? You … what's wrong? "Although she was also lying on the ground, her movements were still quite reserved. At the same time, she carefully tilted her head to one side and quietly observed Li Yijie. When she saw the painful expression on his face, she wanted to ask about it. However, she remembered that he didn't want her to worry, so she couldn't let his efforts go to waste. What she didn't know was that while Li Yijie was suffering physically, Nangong Xue was also suffering mentally.
In the end, Li Yijie could no longer suppress his anger, and he let out a long and miserable cry. Nangong Xue had always known this Shixiong. Since he was young, he had always been competitive. No matter how much pain he suffered, he would never cry out in front of others. Today, he had lost control of himself. Presumably, he was suffering the most severe torture. Her heart ached as she rushed forward. She looked closely at Li Yijie's current appearance, which was very similar to Lu Qian's when the 'poison' flared up. She anxiously said, "Shixiong, isn't it enough that he scared me? Does he want to pretend to trick me too? Get up, stop pretending! Otherwise, otherwise, I won't care about you anymore! "
Although she said those harsh words, she really hoped that her Shixiong was also pretending. When the time came, she would laugh and scold him a bit and then forget about it. After waiting for a while and not hearing any response, tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "Shixiong … Shixiong, I admit that you're better at pretending than he is, okay? You know that I … I can't stand being scared. "
Li Yijie's throat tightened. He said with difficulty, "I … I didn't … lie to you …" His voice was so hoarse that it didn't sound like a human's voice. Nangong Xue said, "Is it poison? Could it be … could it be that you're really poisoned? "She turned to Lu Qian and said," What's going on? Didn't you tell me that there was no poison in the water? Then my Shixiong, he … how could he … "
Lu Qian said, "Did I say that? I don't think I said that sentence. It was Brother Li who thought he was infallible. I never came to any conclusion. I just drank the water and didn't get poisoned. Is this my fault? It's not just me. You and Xiao Xuan are fine after drinking it, right? It's probably because Brother Li's body is especially weak and can't get used to drinking wild mountain spring water. You know, there's a disease called acclimatization. "
Cheng Jiaxuan also sat up with his hands on the ground. He had drunk too much cold water just now and his stomach was starting to feel uncomfortable. He cried out in alarm, "Aiya, I think … my stomach is hurting too. Could it be that I've been poisoned too? "
Nangong Xue said unhappily, "Don't make trouble." She looked at Lu Qian almost pleadingly and said, "Acclimatization would at most cause vomiting and diarrhea. How could it be this serious? My Shixiong, he … come and take a look at him. "
Lu Qian said, "Why do you want me to take a look? I'm not a doctor. That's fine, but he's not a beauty either … "When he saw Nangong Xue's resentful and pleading eyes, his heart softened. He thought to himself," Xueer has lost her backbone. I have to take good care of her and share her burden. How could I say such sarcastic things? " He didn't say anything else. He stepped forward and touched Li Yijie's wrist, saying, "His pulse is chaotic and beating very fiercely. Maybe the powerful zhenqi in his body is causing trouble again. His injury has been dragging on for a long time. As the saying goes, a long illness becomes an illness. That's why it's especially serious this time. "
In fact, he didn't know the actual situation. He only felt that Li Yijie's pulse was very strange, but he couldn't tell exactly what was strange about it. In short, he had never heard of it before. He didn't want to appear ignorant in front of Nangong Xue, so he made up some nonsense to deal with her. Nangong Xue believed him. When she saw her Shixiong suffering, she felt as if she was experiencing it herself. She couldn't help but sob quietly.
Li Yijie suddenly pushed her away, jumped up, and somersaulted several times on the ground. One of his hands clenched into a fist, the other opened into a palm. He kicked and punched on the ground, but his two hands didn't match. Instead, they attacked each other and kept the other in a tight grip.
Lu Qian sighed, "What the hell? What is this Li Yijie doing? " Nangong Xue muttered, "That … that's us …" Lu Qian was surprised, "What did you say?" Nangong Xue said, "His two hands, aren't they doing different moves? One is me, the other is him. When we were young, we always did this … "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Oh, even though he's going crazy, he still has a little bit of consciousness left, right?" Nangong Xue's mind brightened, she said, "Yes … yes, maybe if we can wake him up, he'll be able to return to normal." She had just taken a step toward him when Li Yijie's palm suddenly curled into a claw. His fist suddenly opened wide, and his palm struck the air.
Lu Qian quickly pulled Nangong Xue away. The palm swept through the gap between them, penetrating the pool water and creating a tall column of water. Nangong Xue cried out involuntarily, "Shixiong … you … you don't recognize me?"
Li Yijie squeezed out some words from his throat with difficulty, he said, "Xueer … run … run … don't … come near …" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly put his palms together and crossed his arms. His left palm was turned over and placed in front of his chest, while his right arm was pulled from his shoulder. His palm faced outward, and he pushed forward. He pressed his left palm against the back of his hand and suddenly exerted force. With a boom, the wall in front of him was blown into pieces and dust flew everywhere. Li Yijie dropped his hands and gasped for breath. It was obvious that this attack had exhausted all his strength.
Nangong Xue couldn't hold it in any longer. She rushed forward and hugged Li Yijie tightly from behind. She pressed her cheek against his still trembling back, she said, "Shixiong … I beg you, please calm down, okay?"
Lu Qian called out, "Xueer, come back! He's delirious, he'll hurt you! " Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Alliance Master Li is someone who can't use his internal energy, yet he's forcing himself. Isn't he deliberately harming his body?" She had heard Lu Qian say this many times, so she could imitate him.
Nangong Xue cried, "He won't. Even if he's delirious for now, he's still my Shixiong. I believe that he still has his instincts. He won't hurt me." As she said this, she hugged Li Yijie even tighter. Lu Qian sighed and walked forward to pull her away.
Li Yijie's stiff body finally softened, and the ferocious look on his face gradually faded. His head was full of sweat, and he murmured, "I … what's wrong with me?"
Nangong Xue was overjoyed. She said, "Shixiong, have you woken up?" Li Yijie nodded blankly. He looked at the crumbling rocks in front of him and said in shock, "This … this is …" Lu Qian said unhappily, "I'm surprised you still have the guts to ask. Just now you suddenly went crazy, and this place collapsed because of your palm. I don't care about anything else, but don't make this cave collapse like last time in the royal mausoleum. "
Li Yijie said doubtfully, "I … I don't know. Just now I felt a strong internal energy running amok in my body, and I wanted to release it as soon as possible. Ay, it's really strange. In the past I always tried to suppress it, but I never thought of releasing it. But now, I feel much better. I … I didn't hurt you, did I? "
Lu Qian laughed coldly, "With your superficial appearance, even if you went crazy, your martial arts wouldn't appear out of nowhere. You still want to hurt me?" He wanted to say something, but Nangong Xue shook her head. Her eyes glistening with tears, she said, "Don't think about anything else. As long as you're safe and sound, that's the best."
Suddenly, they heard Cheng Jiaxuan's shrill scream. His voice was mournful. Lu Qian said impatiently, "Little girl, can't you just let us stop for a while? What's with all the fuss? "
Cheng Jiaxuan shouted, "No, behind this wall … ah! There's a skeleton! "Lu Qian said," What are you shouting for? Have you never seen a skeleton in your previous life, or what? Alliance Master Li, don't tell me there's someone hiding behind the wall practicing martial arts, and you turned him into a skeleton with one palm strike? "Li Yijie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said," If it's that powerful, why can't I defeat Jiang Liechen? "
