Xu Ping’an initially did indeed support Li Qingyi.
However, her body was numb, and she walked as slow as a turtle.
And from a distance, terrifying roars of demon beasts could be heard, clearly signaling they were drawing near.
"Too slow, with this pace, you’ll be eaten sooner or later. Forget it, I can’t leave you behind." Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.
Then, he hoisted Li Qingyi onto his back and took off at a sprint with the Ghost Cloud Step.
Li Qingyi’s face was one of utter shock!
She was being carried at a mad rush?
And by a man?
At this mont, Li Qingyi’s heart completely fell apart.
From childhood till now, not even a corner of her clothing had been touched by a man, and now she was being carried away at full speed by one?
Sha!
Endless sha welled up within Li Qingyi’s heart.
Damn it, once she recovered, she vowed to cut down this man.
But it seed he wasn’t entirely in the wrong, and, moreover, he could be considered her savior.
If Xu Ping’an had really left her there, she would have undoubtedly died, but did he have to carry her?
If she killed him, wouldn’t she be ungrateful and disloyal?
Li Qingyi’s mind was in chaos.
Who am I?
Where am I?
...
Xu Ping’an couldn’t care less about what Li Qingyi was thinking.
He thought saving her life was already quite sothing, and now she expected manners too?
"Eh, who is that? Running so fast, and it looks like he’s carrying soone?" A nearby Inner Sect Disciple exclaid in surprise as he watched Xu Ping’an’s swift escape, puzzled.
"Indeed, he’s carrying soone, and it seems to be a woman? Looks like it’s Li Qingyi!" Another disciple was stunned.
"Li Qingyi?" The disciple who spotted Xu Ping’an was also dumbfounded.
Li Qingyi?
The Li Qingyi who is known as the fairy under the white moon?
This...
For a mont, both disciples felt their world view collapsing.
Li Qingyi was utterly devastated; she had seen the two Inner Sect Disciples too.
Had her shaful state been discovered by others?
How could she show her face to anyone in the future?
After running about ten miles, Xu Ping’an finally stopped, flinging Li Qingyi onto the grass.
Rough and unceremonious!
Li Qingyi lost her mind completely!
This guy had no sympathy, no regard for won?
If she wasn’t paralyzed, she would’ve beaten him senseless.
"All I did was save your life, right? Do you have to be so moved? You’re almost crying!" Xu Ping’an glanced at Li Qingyi, frowning slightly.
Won are such trouble!
At this mont, Li Qingyi really felt like crying!
Moved?
It was anger that she felt, but he had the nerve to say she was moved?
If it weren’t for her numbness that kept her from even speaking, she would’ve cursed him to his face!
Suddenly, Li Qingyi thought of sothing.
She couldn’t move, yet she wasn’t worried at all that the man before her might assault her.
On any other day, she would have been extrely anxious.
But now, she felt an absolute sense of safety.
Given this guy’s attitude toward her, he probably didn’t entertain such thoughts at all.
He might not even like won.
Yes!
He must dislike won!
Li Qingyi was utterly convinced of this.
Xu Ping’an chuckled to himself as he looked at Li Qingyi, whose eyes were darting around.
If he didn’t act this way, the person in front of him would probably be scared to death internally.
This Li Qingyi is indeed beautiful, but I already have my aunt, otherwise taking her in wouldn’t be bad either, Xu Ping’an thought to himself.
Suddenly, he turned to Li Qingyi and said, "You’ve been poisoned with the paralytic toxin of the Crimson Horned Earth Dragon. Normally, it would take three days to recover naturally, but I obviously can’t keep carrying you around the Wilderness Forest for that long!"
Li Qingyi’s pupils constricted?
Being carried around the Wilderness Forest by this man for three days? She might as well be dead!
"How about I find a spot to bury you, put an empty tube in for you to breathe, and have you stay underground for three days? With so luck, no demon beast might discover you," Xu Ping’an added.
Li Qingyi’s eyes went wide with shock!
To bury herself for three days—not to ntion whether her Qi could actually conceal her from the demon beasts—even if she was that lucky, just the thought of staying under the ground for three days was enough to make her completely fall apart!
"Do you agree? Blink once for yes, twice for no," Xu Ping’an turned his head to look at Li Qingyi, who lay motionless on the ground.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingyi’s exceptionally beautiful eyes blinked furiously.
"What’s with all the blinking? What are you trying to say?" Xu Ping’an asked, amused.
Li Qingyi had no choice but to blink twice again.
"So you don’t agree? Then what do you propose we do? Besides, I have other things to take care of," Xu Ping’an said with a sense of resignation.
Li Qingyi was silent; she didn’t know what to do either.
If she was really carried while running for three days or buried by this guy, she’d be as good as dead.
"Well, there’s nothing else for it," Xu Ping’an suddenly sighed, slowly standing up.
Li Qingyi looked towards Xu Ping’an with fear in her eyes.
What is this guy planning to do?
He’s not really going to bury her, is he?
But the next mont, she was stunned.
She saw Xu Ping’an pull out a dagger, slice open his finger, and then shove his bleeding finger into her mouth.
Li Qingyi was utterly bewildered!
What’s going on?
However, before she could grasp the situation, a powerful force burst forth in her mouth, rapidly flowing into her body and starting to neutralize the paralytic poison.
His blood can detoxify?
Li Qingyi paused for a mont, then imdiately began to suck forcefully.
Xu Ping’an was also taken aback for a mont; why does the atmosphere feel a bit off?
And why are you savoring it so much?
I already have an aunt; how could I be tempted by you?
As for why his blood could detoxify, it was actually an effect of the Chaotic Reversal Scripture.
Since he started practicing the Chaotic Reversal Scripture, Xu Ping’an found himself not only immune to a hundred poisons but also realized his blood could be used as a detoxifying dicine.
This might also be the reason why the Chaotic Reversal Scripture could transform these deadly poisons into energy for his cultivation.
About the ti it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xu Ping’an withdrew his hand.
By now, Li Qingyi had regained basic mobility, though the flow of True Yuan inside her was still sluggish.
To recover her combat power would likely take so ti.
Li Qingyi’s face was a mixture of emotions as she wished she could burrow into a hole.
Just now, she had actually shown that kind of expression, and it was... it was... under those circumstances.
"Thank... Thank you for saving ."
It was only after a long while that Li Qingyi managed to speak these difficult words.
It wasn’t the paralysis making it hard for her to speak, but the sheer embarrassnt.
"No need to thank . About detoxifying you, I’ve lost too much blood. Later, you can repay with three Gathering Yuan Pills," Xu Ping’an said.
Li Qingyi imdiately glared at Xu Ping’an.
Gathering Yuan Pills?
Why don’t you just go rob soone?
Those are Second Rank Superior Grade Elixirs, each worth eight thousand gold coins, and Xu Ping’an was demanding three of them at once?
You’ve lost too much blood?
Don’t think I didn’t feel it; your Qi-Blood is more than ten tis denser than an average person’s. That little blood loss is nothing to you; it can’t cause you any hindrance at all.
"Fine, three Gathering Yuan Pills then, but the debt I owe you for saving my life today is cancelled out," Li Qingyi said coldly after exhaling sharply.
"Deal! Hand them over!" Xu Ping’an imdiately reached out his hand.
Li Qingyi felt like hitting soone in frustration.
This guy agreed so quickly; was her life-saving grace really only worth three Gathering Yuan Pills?
"I don’t have them on right now. When we get back, I’ll have soone send them to you," Li Qingyi took another breath and finally spoke.
"Then write an IOU," Xu Ping’an said.
Li Qingyi was completely infuriated!
He wanted her to write an IOU?
"If you don’t write an IOU, what if you deny the debt later?" Xu Ping’an continued.
Li Qingyi was breaking down!
"Fine, I’ll write it!" Li Qingyi clenched her teeth, forcing out the words through gritted teeth.
Xu Ping’an took out a pen and paper from his robe.
Li Qingyi’s eyes nearly popped out of her head—this guy actually had a pen and paper ready.
In reality, she didn’t know that the pen and paper weren’t carried by Xu Ping’an but were from a Token’s space-like nature.
Li Qingyi swiftly wrote the IOU and signed her na.
Xu Ping’an took the IOU and turned to leave without further ado.
"Where are you going?" Li Qingyi asked imdiately.
