The next day, not only did Bai Tianye disappear, but so did Qi Ye, that delicate little fool.
Jiujiu let out a long sigh as she looked at the inn that had regained its calm after two days of excitement.
Sure enough, after getting used to the liveliness, she wasn't used to the loneliness anymore.
Without Qi Ye and Bai Tianye, Jiujiu continued with her previous life. She would greet customers when there were customers, and when there weren't any, she would lie on the rocking chair and read her sketchbook to entertain herself.
The wind was very strong when Bai Tianye returned. The strong wind blew sand and gravel against the windows, making clanging sounds.
Bai Tianye returned to the inn when visibility was extremely low.
Bai Tianyu's white clothes had been dyed yellow by the sand. The hairpin that held his hair together had disappeared and was replaced by a strip of cloth that was torn from his clothes.
Seeing Jiujiu, Bai Tianyu's smile gradually widened. He took out a pearl and handed it to Jiujiu. "Miss, I've brought back the Night-Luminescent Pearl."
Jiujiu: "…"
Could it be that there really was a Night-Luminescent Pearl in the oasis in the desert?
Jiujiu took the Night-Luminescent Pearl from Bai Tianye. Just as she placed it in her palm, she smelled a familiar but pungent smell of blood and sweat.
This was the smell of Qi Ye's body.
When Bai Tianye left with Qi Ye, Jiujiu also thought that Qi Ye and Bai Tianye would look for the Night-Luminescent Pearl.
However, Qi Ye didn't know martial arts and he didn't have any ulterior motives towards her. He wouldn't risk going to the center of the desert to look for the Night-Luminescent Pearl for no reason.
Therefore, Jiujiu never thought that Qi Ye would look for the Night-Luminescent Pearl.
However, the Night-Luminescent Pearl that Bai Tianye brought back was filled with Qi Ye's aura. It was obvious that the Night-Luminescent Pearl had been with Qi Ye for a long time. This also meant that Qi Ye was the one who found the Night-Luminescent Pearl.
Then, why would the Night-Luminescent Pearl be with Bai Tianye?
Thinking of Bai Tianye's despicable nature, Jiujiu believed that Bai Tianye would definitely do something like snatching the Night-Luminescent Pearl.
Jiujiu's eyes turned cold as she recalled the thick smell of blood on the Luminous Pearl. She looked at Bai Tianye with killing intent. "Where is Qi Ye?"
Bai Tianye thought that Jiujiu would look at him differently after he brought back the Night-Luminescent Pearl. Even if she didn't like him, her attitude would be much warmer than before.
He never thought that Jiujiu would suddenly ask him where Qi Ye was.
Bai Tianye knew very well where Qi Ye was.
He went with Qi Ye to find the oasis. Because he had never been to the desert before, he almost died in the desert. It was Qi Ye who dragged him by the arm into the oasis.
After finding the oasis, Bai Tianye rested because of his weak body, while Qi Ye tirelessly dived into the water to search for the Night-Luminescent Pearl.
Qi Ye excitedly told Bai Tianye that he found the Night-Luminescent Pearl. He said that if Jiujiu knew that he found the Night-Luminescent Pearl, Jiujiu would definitely be very happy. On the surface, Bai Tianye was happy for Qi Ye, but in reality, he already had thoughts of snatching the Night-Luminescent Pearl away.
After Qi Ye brought him out of the desert, Bai Tianye injured Qi Ye and snatched the Night-Luminescent Pearl to curry favor with Jiujiu. He hoped that this Night-Luminescent Pearl could change Jiujiu's opinion of him.
Bai Tianye's face was calm as he said, "How would I know where Qi Ye is?"
Jiujiu's expression was cold. "Is that so? Since you don't know where Qi Ye is, why is his scent on the Night-Luminescent Pearl? "
Bai Tianye's expression changed instantly. Before he could explain himself, he was slapped to the ground by Jiujiu's palm.
Because she was worried about Qi Ye, Jiujiu did not hold back at all in this slap.
Bai Tianye's martial arts were not top-notch. After being hit by Jiujiu's palm, traces of blood immediately seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
Jiujiu whistled to call for her horse as she said, "Get out of my inn before I return."
After Jiujiu spoke, she rode her horse and disappeared into the vast desert.
Bai Tianye did not expect that Jiujiu, the last disciple of the Medicine King Valley, would have such high martial arts. Feeling his blood boiling because of Jiujiu's palm, Bai Tianye was afraid that Jiujiu would change her mind and kill him before looking for Qi Ye, so he hurriedly left the inn.
The horse that Jiujiu was riding was transformed from Little Cutie. Even though the desert was soft, it was like riding on flat ground.
One person and one horse quickly rushed into the desert.
Little Cutie ran for a full four hours before stopping in front of an abandoned stone house. Jiujiu got off the horse and walked towards the broken wooden door of the stone house. She then saw Qi Ye lying weakly on the ground with a pale face.
Jiujiu took out a medicinal pill from her pocket and stuffed it into Qi Ye's mouth. Then, she fed him some water.
Not long after swallowing the medicinal pill, Qi Ye slowly woke up. Seeing Jiujiu sitting beside him, Qi Ye smiled foolishly and muttered, "Lady Boss, you were right. Young Master Bai is really not a good person."
He had saved his life out of kindness, but he did not expect that Bai Tianye would want his life for the Night-Luminescent Pearl. If he did not remember that there was a stone house here, he would have been buried alive in the vast desert.
The farmer and the snake, that's all there is to it.
Qi Ye was seriously injured. After muttering this sentence when he woke up, he fell unconscious again.
Jiujiu bent down to carry Qi Ye and rode back to the inn.
Unlike when they came, Little Cutie walked very slowly and steadily on the way back.
When Qi Ye woke up again, he was already at the inn.
This time, he did not sleep on the ground like before. Instead, he slept on Jiujiu's warm and soft bed.
Feeling Jiujiu's scent all around him, Qi Ye took a deep breath and began to think about how he came back.
It was impossible for Bai Tianye. Could it be that the innkeeper personally went to the desert to find him and brought him back?
Thinking of this, Qi Ye's eyes instantly turned red.
Sure enough, the innkeeper was a good person. He was a thousand times better than that fake Bai Tianye.
Jiujiu pushed the door open with the medicine and saw Qi Ye raising his hand to wipe his tears.
He was clearly a young man, but he cried like a little girl.
Jiujiu could not help but laugh and asked, "Why are you crying?"
"Innkeeper, you're right. That Sir Bai is not a good person. Not only did he steal my Night-Luminescent Pearl, he also wanted to kill me." Thinking of this, Qi Ye looked at Jiujiu expectantly and asked, "Innkeeper, was it you who saved me and brought me back?"
"If it wasn't me, then it was that hypocrite Bai Tianye." Jiujiu angrily stuffed the medicine into Qi Ye's hands and said in a rough voice, "Drink the medicine."
After getting the answer he wanted, Qi Ye was satisfied and drank the medicine in one gulp. Then, his face turned black.
Qi Ye's face was bitter as he complained, "Innkeeper, why is this medicine so bitter?"
