Asked About The World Of Mortals

Chapter 87 Take the pill, you keep it

Qin Yi fell under the tree.

There was almost no good piece of meat left on his body, it was all muscle fibers that had been frozen to death, and turned into pieces when blown by the wind. The frozen flesh was connected to the muscles and bones on his body, and his face was so stiff and expressionless, full of bruises from the cold, that he looked like a zombie.

The ice fruit was right in front of him, hanging on the tree only a foot or so away from him. It could be said to be as close as a foot.

But this is the end of the world so close.

He had no strength at all. It was difficult to even lift his hands, let alone jump one foot high.

He didn't even have the strength to converse with Liu Su's thoughts, but his eyes were still very alert, staring at Bing Guo who was only a few feet away from him, shining with eagerness.

Liu Su stopped talking and looked at him curiously.

In the minds of ordinary people, the dying person standing just a few feet away, watching helplessly the ice fruit so close but unable to pick it, would obviously feel desperate and depressed. But instead of seeing any frustration in Qin Yi's eyes, they were filled with enthusiasm.

After being together for so long, Liu Su never thought that Qin Yi had such a side. He was so strong and stubborn that he didn't look like a "dead nerd" at all.

This kind of stubbornness sometimes feels silly, but sometimes it can be moving and appreciated.

It just depends on your attitude towards this person.

Even Liu Su had never thought about it, let alone Cheng Huang.

She looked at the mirror quietly, squeezing her delicate hands unconsciously, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qin Yi took a breath for a moment, then slowly reached into his arms and took out a talisman.

There was a "swish" sound, and a strong wind blew.

The strong winds around him that could crush people's souls suddenly gathered and pierced the branches like sharp knives.

Wind talisman.

Precise mana control turns the bone-scratching wind around you into your own blade, which can be scraped to the desired location accurately.

With a "creak" sound, the ice branch broke, and a few ice fruits fell dangling from the branch.

Qin Yi didn't even have the strength to stand up. He reached out to grab the ice fruit that fell in front of him, and a smile appeared on his stiff face.

Liu Su sighed: "You haven't thought about how you can go back like this?"

"Huh!?" Qin Yi's smile froze on his face.

Then a wave of extreme exhaustion hit him, and he finally fainted completely.

"What an idiot." Chenghuang dropped the mirror and disappeared.

Liu Su seemed to be aware of it and whispered to herself: "The intention of monitoring has disappeared."

The mace moved on its own, bringing Qin Yi's body to the entrance of the cave in the blink of an eye.

When Chenghuang appeared at the edge of the desert, he saw Qin Yi fainting like mud outside the cave, holding a mace in his right hand and holding an ice fruit tightly in his left hand, crystal clear and beautiful.

…………

Qin Yi didn't know how long he slept.

Even in my dream, I could feel the bone-chilling cold as if falling in an ice cellar. My muscles all over my body felt like they were being cut by knives. The slightest movement of my body felt as uncomfortable as scraping my bones.

Even his spirit was not right, he was confused and accompanied by waves of stinging pain.

He knew he was sick.

But later, when someone gave him medicine, he seemed to hear Ye Ling crying.

Later, warm spiritual power was injected into him, which combined with the power of medicine to recuperate his body and regenerate muscles and activate blood circulation. The pain turned into itching, and he finally woke up from the pain and itching like the bites of thousands of ants.

He found himself lying on a soft bed, with pure white silk quilt exuding a pleasant fragrance. The body was bandaged like a mummy, unable to move at all. The pain and itching still came in waves, but it was already within the tolerable range. The spiritual power in the body has been cleansed and True Qi has circulated, and he has recovered very well. There seems to be some signs of a breakthrough in his magic power. I don't know if it is because of the experience in the ice cave or the result of this medicinal and spiritual power cleansing and recuperation.

"Are you awake?" A soft voice came from not far away, charming to the bone.

This voice is so recognisable, you can tell it's Cheng Huang without turning your head.

Qin Yi opened his mouth and his voice was hoarse: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chenghuang came over and Yingying sat beside the bed, looking at his face softly.

Qin Yi was startled.

She is not dressed up in a long dress outside, but in a nightgown style dress. Qin Yi didn't dare to look any further and subconsciously moved his eyes away, but at a glance he saw the medicine bowl in her hand.

She scooped up a small spoonful, blew it gently, brought it to Qin Yi's mouth, and said softly: "Drink."

Qin Yi opened his mouth in a daze. The temperature of the medicine was just right. The liquid flowed into his throat. It was warm and smooth. He could clearly feel the power of the medicine dissipating and continuing to nourish the muscles.

"You have severe frostbite. If you don't recover properly, your body will become useless." Chenghuang's eyes rolled around and he chuckled.

Qin Yi was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, you are joking... uh, do you know where my mace is?"

Chenghuang looked strange: "I have never seen anyone ask for a mace after waking up... Am I not as good-looking as a stick?"

"..." Cold sweat appeared on Qin Yi's forehead.

Chenghuang didn't say anything else and just continued to give him medicine.

Qin Yi didn't dare to say anything more. He finished his drink and said again: "Thank you. How can I bother the king personally..."

"It's nothing." Chenghuang interrupted: "I admire your actions of risking your own life for a promise. This kind of person should be regarded as a national soldier."

Qin Yi blushed a little and said tentatively: "The ice fruit..."

"I have this kind of life-enhancing pill and other medicinal materials in my storage." Chenghuang put down the medicine bowl and said calmly: "Because of your behavior, all these medicinal materials are given to you, and I can personally refine the medicine for you. But there’s a condition.”

Qin Yi was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, please speak."

I secretly thought in my heart that after a narrow escape like this, what's left of you?

Chenghuang Youyou said: "These medicines are priceless. It takes a lot of effort for me to refine such high-quality elixirs. It is impossible for me to pay so much for outsiders. Do you understand?"

"Well...understand." Qin Yi said seriously: "Your Majesty, Qin Yi will definitely repay this kindness."

"This king does not need you to repay your kindness. I have already said that it is impossible to pay for outsiders." Chenghuang said calmly: "I can refine the elixir for you, but you have to stay."

"Well?"

Chenghuang said in one word: "If you join the service of our country, this pill will be yours."

Qin Yi shook his head with some pain: "Well, I don't want to perfunctory the king, just cheat the pill and leave. To be honest, even if I don't have this pill, I still have to go back to get together with her."

"It's just a woman." Chenghuang said calmly: "I know that you have an old relationship with the Cheng family of Jinxiufang in the east of the city, and she also admires you quite a lot. I can make the decision to marry her to you, but her beauty is not as good as hers." Fuck your human lover?"

"Cheng Cheng's country is beautiful and fragrant, but that's two different things..." Qin Yi whispered: "This is not something that can be replaced. I can't let Qingjun down."

Chenghuang sneered: "If you don't want her, I will give her to a monster at will. Are you willing to let her go?"

Qin Yi said helplessly: "Why would your Majesty anger a woman? She is innocent."

"If you don't want her, she is destined to marry a monster. How can she be innocent?"

Qin Yi was speechless, and after a while he sighed: "If Cheng Cheng is willing to come with me, I..."

Chenghuang looked at him intently for a while, then suddenly chuckled: "Man."

Qin Yi's face turned red and he felt that what he said was indeed a bit scumbag.

Unexpectedly, Chenghuang said leisurely: "Although it's a bit shameless, it's better than saying it's none of your business and letting her find a husband... but she still has some conscience."

"..." Qin Yi was speechless.

"But if that's the case..." Chenghuang said slowly: "Why do you let me waste treasures and energy to help you refine elixirs? I am a demon king, but in your eyes, I am a fool who helps others selflessly?"

"You are not a fool to help others selflessly..." Qin Yi muttered, but when he glanced at Chenghuang's eyes that had turned cold, he had to shut up.

This is troublesome...

Just as the atmosphere was getting colder, a little girl's voice came from outside: "The formation outside Kunpeng Violet Palace has been lifted and you can enter at any time."

"How's the jackal sound?"

"No movement..."

Chenghuang chuckled softly: "No movement is the biggest movement. If my prediction is correct, the elite of Guo Kingdom would have been waiting at his house."

"Then what do we do?"

Chenghuang thought for a while, and his beautiful eyes suddenly glanced at Qin Yi's confused expression, and he narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Do you understand formations?"

Qin Yi said in confusion: "I understand a little bit."

"Help me do this, and I'll make the elixir for you."
