Abandoned Princesses
Instant Cultivation Pill

Outside the court, Duan Yi who was beaming because of the cunning Madam Xu was being punished was instead surprised to see Qiao Rong was addressing the seemingly unconscious Shen Haofeng.

"Quick! Back to the house!" Qiao Rong shouted, Duan Yi directly helped Qiao Rong to reach Shen Haofeng.

"Your Majesty.. How did he come to this?" Ask Duan Yi. He was confused, shouldn't everything be okay? If Lady Xu was the one being punished why was it now Shen Haofeng who had fainted before her?

They immediately returned with the ox cart of one of the residents who had taken them to court. Qiao Rong told the coachman to speed up the ox. He was very panicked because he did not know how severe the Freezing Point Poison was in Shen Haofeng.

Qiao Rong was very sorry for pushing the young man so violently yesterday. If he had known the young man would have gone to defend him to the court today, yesterday he would not have been so impulsive. He should have asked carefully as often as Shen Haofeng had fainted. He should have helped Shen Haofeng obtain the Kunlun Fruit, although he was very unsure about how to deal with the snake.

Qiao Rong's eyes began to glaze over. He was extremely afraid that Shen Haofeng would never come to his senses again. He was so afraid that he would never see the smile of the young man again.

The conscious Jiang Junwei waiting for his master at home because he was not allowed to come along could only daydream. However he immediately panicked and jumped in surprise when he saw Qiao Rong who was addressing Shen Haofeng with Duan Yi from a distance.

Jiang Junwei was already unable to think anymore, he inevitably had to show himself before them. I don't know what reason he'll find later.

"Quick! Give it to me!" Jiang Junwei did not use the Moon Shadow Technique to avoid Qiao Rong's suspicions. He reached out his hand to grab Shen Haofeng, but Qiao Rong held back his steps.

"Who are you?" He could not possibly believe the man who had suddenly appeared before him.

"I.. Uh.. His brother! Hurry along!" Said Jiang Junwei with origin of thought. Qiao Rong finally gave up and handed Shen Haofeng's body to Jiang Junwei. Qiao Rong certainly knew and did not believe Jianh Junwei's reasoning, but he believed in his reaction, the person who knew Shen Haofeng to the point of panicking when he saw him in an unconscious state was definitely not a bad person.

Jiang Junwei immediately rushed Shen Haofeng into the house and laid him on the bed.

Then he opened a box next to his master's bed. Inside the box was a large golden pill that he directly put into Shen Haofeng's mouth.

"The Long Pill of Consciousness." Qiao Rong unintentionally slipped as soon as he saw the pill. Jiang Junwei was surprised because Qiao Rong recognized the pill in one glance, it seemed like there was a lot hidden within the girl.

"Right now, we can only wait for him to wake up." Jiang Junwei let out a long sigh. Qiao Rong shook his head.

"No. From a day ago a week, then a month ago a year, and finally forever. Already at what stage did the poison invade his body?" Jiang Junwei was even more shocked. Frozen Point Poison was a rare poison, they had already tried various kinds of healers, but could only ask the Milky Way Physician at Mount Tao, but had not even managed to find an antidote.

"It's been a day now it should have been a week." Jiang Junwei could only rely. Although the Long Consciousness Pill could shorten that week, he was afraid that the master would not last long before the entire stage.

"I see, then we should wait for him to wake up." Reply Qiao Rong.

"What are you planning?" Jiang Junwei asked suspiciously.

*****

"You said it yourself, I like it." Qiao Rong put on his frown. He walked around then approached to grab the golden furnace, but Li Junyan still kept the furnace tight with his small body.

"You've only known him for two months!" Li Junyan's reply did not accept.

"Just calm. Just two months, I'll make sure after that he'll be mine for life." Said Qiao Rong confidently.

"You serious? What if he doesn't think of you at all?" Li Junyan tried to continue that argument. However he could not let Qiao Rong touch the golden furnace.

"Then I'll catch him and tie him up for life." Reply Qiao Rong casually.

"Basic crazy woman. Nevermind! Just do what you want, you die too I don't care!" Li Junyan snorted in annoyance. Already struggling he broke through space and time for his Master's soul, now that the girl herself wanted to die, what could she do? Qiao Rong was the first Yin Yang Book Master.

"Why are you so sure I'm going to die?" Now it was Qiao Rong's turn to snort angrily. His ears were getting hot from hearing Li Junyan's swearing which seemed very certain he was going to die.

"Well! Absorbing the qi from the Instant Cultivation Pill is not necessarily that you can go through it, how about accepting the consequences of using the pill?" Li Junyan was really angry. If he knew Qiao Rong would take such a decision, he would not help their relationship at all.

"Huh! Just say you won't make it for me!" Qiao Rong then walked out of the Yin Yang Book room with a frown. Qiao Rong knew that Li Junyan was only worried about him, but if he kept this up, Li Junyan would never be willing to make the pill.

He desperately needed that Instant Cultivation Pill. Instant Cultivation Pills did require a great deal of effort and energy to absorb his entire qi, but the effects of the pills were great. Instant Cultivation pills could temporarily increase one's cultivation level, the effect would last two hours to five hours after consumption. But what causes this pill is rarely used is the consequences of its use. The more qi issued, the more severe the consequences received by the user, can even cause death.

However, Qiao Rong who had all along used Heaven and Earth cultivation techniques, was confident he could withstand the pain of the Instant Cultivation Pill. Or at least, he should try.

*****

And Qiao Rong actually tried it.

Only Li Junyan and Chu Yue knew, how labor Qiao Rong absorbed that pill energy for three days and three nights. Chu Yue had to be ready to carry a bucket to accommodate Qiao Rong's blood vomit every half hour. Chu Yue was truly unable to do that, she almost fainted when she first saw Qiao Rong spewing so much blood while trying to absorb the pill. Chu Yue did not even know Qiao Rong was trying to absorb Instant Cultivation Pills because Qiao Rong simply said to her to prepare as Qiao Rong was cultivating.

Four days later, Shen Haofeng finally came to his senses. As he opened his eyes, he had already seen Jiang Junwei, and Qiao Rong who was standing beside his bed. They were already carrying their own weapons and were ready to fight against the snake.

Jiang Junwei immediately took out a water-filled cup for Shen Haofeng. He knew, inevitably they had to take the Kunlun Fruit today. Yet Shen Haofeng was very confused about Qiao Rong coming along.

"I don't care who you are, what's your real purpose here, but three people would be better than two, wouldn't they?" Qiao Rong replied as if he could read Shen Haofeng's mind.

Shen Haofeng simply nodded. He already knew how stubborn the girl was, but that meant he had to be on standby to protect Qiao Rong later. With the cultivation level of the girl he knew, it was impossible to help them fight with the snake. He also knew that later he would be forced to make the girl know his cultivation level. Would Qiao Rong not visit him anymore or be afraid of him? Shen Haofeng was really scared even though he did not know why. He was just afraid that he would never see the girl's cynical smile again. But he had to fight to live first.

Shen Haofeng used a few techniques first to restore his lost strength during his unconsciousness.

Then they leave.
