Against The Gods
Chapter 21 – Sharing The Same Bed

For the first 20 needles or so, handling Xiao Che was very easy. However, when sweat started to appear on his forehead, the left hand holding the needle also started to tremble. Moreover, his movements had obviously slowed down a little. Previously, he could stab one needle in the breathing room, but then it gradually turned into several breaths.

If Xia Qingyue looked back, she would see that while Xiao Che was giving acupuncture treatments, she always used her left hand. He was not at all left-handed, and it was even less true that his left hand was more skilled. Instead, it was because the Pearl Sky Poison was contained in his left hand.

Every time the silver needle pierced through, the Sky Poison Pearl in his palm would blink a little. Following the silver needle, the power of the Sky Poison Pearl quietly entered Xia Qingyue's body. Of course, this power was not a kind of poison, but rather a purification power. The Sky Poison Pearl has the ability to purify tens of thousands of poisons in the world. In addition, this "poison" does not have to be a lifelong poison, but also includes toxins that damage the interior of the body, as well as excessive impurities. However, it is not as easy as washing the marrow and cutting the arteries. To use the power of the Sky Poison Pearl was the main reason he racked his brain today to figure out how to give Xia Qingyue acupuncture treatment.

To disperse the cold air and clear the meridians was only a side effect and a pretense. What she actually did was "open the profound" to Xia Qingyue.

One minute passed .. ten minutes passed .. a quarter of an hour passed …

Clumps of cold air slowly rose from each and every silver needle. After a full half hour had passed, Xia Qingyue's back had been pierced by fifty-four full needles. Xiao Che's hand finally stopped moving at this point but after stopping for not even half a minute, he once again reached out, both hands dancing. He released every needle from Xia Qingyue's back with incomparable speed. In the blink of an eye, all fifty-four needles had vanished from Xia Qingyue's back.

Back jade Xia Qingyue was still glowing snow-white, like the purest white jade. Under Xiao Che's highly skilled technique, there was not a single mark left.

"It's done ..." Xiao Che, after recovering all the needles, let out a long sigh of relief.

As all the silver needles were removed, Xia Qingyue felt as if she was floating in heaven, her entire body indescribably warm and comfortable. It was hard for him to believe, through his folly, that this was indeed his own body.

He put on his clothes back and immediately used his profound strength. As the Frozen Cloud Arts sped forward, he nearly leaped in fear, as his profound strength changed practically the moment the thought crossed his mind. The speed at which it circulated within his body was a cause for excitement, as it was many times faster than before.

Even after practicing Frozen Cloud Arts for four years, he still often experienced times when he could not fully control it. However, now, sensing the Frozen Cloud Arts circulating all over his body, he was completely certain that with his body in its current state, he could completely control it. The speed at which Frozen Cloud Arts circulated was also, as a natural result, enhanced by the level!

He did not have much hope to begin with, so he was shocked from the bottom of his heart over this kind of outcome. At the same time, he was also very shocked ...surprised that everything Xiao Che said had actually been achieved! Moreover, the result was even better than what he said!

He believed that the current condition of his body would even shock his own master, if he were to see it!

"Now ... do you believe me?"

Xiao Che's voice echoed next to his ear, but it seemed to be extremely hoarse and weak. Xia Qingyue regained her senses and looked towards Xiao Che. He helplessly leaned against the headrest. His forehead and all his clothes were already soaked in sweat and his skin was pale enough to be feared, like he had just survived a severe illness.

Thinking of how each needle was accompanied by a deep force, a painful feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. This feeling made his mind chaotic, as he should not have any hurt feelings for this person that he could only share the status of being married, and nothing else, with.

"I believe in you .. I believe that you are truly a spirit doctor. "Xia Qingyue gave him a complex gaze:" It turns out that you, who have been looked down upon by everyone in Floating Cloud City, actually have a shocking ability, You obviously know that I don't have any kind of affection for you. After a month, I will still forever leave you .. Why reveal all this to me? Why give me such great help and ... put in so much effort for me? "

Favour.

"Three reasons. "The helpless Xiao Che gasped and panted, but still smiled with his entire face:" Almost everyone looked down on me and you even had more reason to look down on me. But you didn't do it, and instead always protected my pathetic dignity as best you could .. Last night, you went looking for me because you were worried, and also by secretly giving a blanket to me … All those who treat me well, I will forever treat them better! "

Xia Qingyue: ".." - G: "…"

“The second reason .. You are all my wives. ”

Xia Qingyue opened her mouth a few times, but could not find her words.

"The third reason is also the most important reason ..." The smile on Xiao Che's face turned faintly: "I think your appearance after undressing will be a beautiful sight to behold. ”

"…" Whenever Xiao Che took the liberty with him using his vulgar mouth, he always treated her with a cold indifference. However, this time, seeing the vulgar smile on her pale face, she could not make herself angry.

“The explanation is done. "Xiao Che reached out to the medicine pot he had brought:" Qingyue my wife, pour the medicine in the medicine pot and drink it. ”

Xia Qingyue gave him a very deep look, then walked over without asking what medicine it was. He poured the potion from the pot out and swallowed it in one gulp.

“This is the first treatment. If you want to maintain the current condition forever, you need a total of seven 'treatments'. The best time is three o'clock in the morning because this is one time in the day when Ying qi is the most strenuous and results from treatment, the best. Of course, whether we continue or not, the decision is in your hands. ”

After saying all that, Xiao Che closed his eyes in exhaustion. It was definitely not an action, his physical strength was really heavily burdened with excessive pressure.

Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Xia Qingyue raised her hand and looked at her palm, the expression in her eyes blurred.

What kind of person is he really?

At the very least, I always judged him wrong.. All Floating Cloud City also judged him wrong.

After Xia Qingyue left, Xiao Che's body also fell completely and tilted onto the bed. He rested there, not wanting to move at all, his mouth occasionally uttering faint murmurs.

"Huhu .. My current stamina is too bad. I almost fainted from exhaustion just opening up the profound … "

"If master knew that I really had someone else take off his clothes, he might be angry enough to come down from heaven to teach me a lesson … I was able to practice acupuncture through clothing at the age of thirteen .. and could practice acupuncture through clothing with my eyes closed at fifteen. huhu ... sleep … "

……………………

The entire Xiao Clan had been immersed in a very different atmosphere every since they received the letter from the Xiao Sect. The clan masters, the elders, performed their duties every day diligently. From morning to evening, they prepared to greet them for fear of showing a hint of negligence. The younger generation, as if using steroids, trained even harder. They all dreamed of having a breakthrough in the next few days, thus increasing the chances of being brought back to the Xiao Sect …

However, all of this clearly had nothing to do with Xiao Che. He could be considered the most relaxed person in the entire Xiao Clan.

Today, on the mountain behind the Xiao Clan.

This was the grave that was opened in the back mountains by the Xiao Clan. After a member of the Xiao Clan died, it was likely that they would be buried here.

Xiao Lie quietly stood in front of the tombstone, his white hair, the result of having gone through many changes and grief, fluttering freely in the wind. Wind whistling. The others are deserted.

On top of this tombstone, the two words "Xiao Ying" were engraved.

“... Ying Er, I know that since childhood, you dreamt of fulfilling the expectations of your ancestors and returning to the Xiao Sect. To release this blood we left behind. Now, this opportunity has finally arrived, just that .. sixteen years late. ”

The expression in Xiao Lie's eyes was misty. He stiffly stood there, his mouth uttering some sort of unintentional muttering …

“I know, although many years have passed, that you still have many problems .. The deep veins of Che Er have changed shape since her childhood. Although he was destined to be mediocre all his life, but without action, there would be no struggle and hatred. Now, Che Er is married. I hope from now on he can always live in peace .. Even though he is not your biological child, he is still the one you both spent on your life, and your son's life, to protect. I will also protect his peace as much as I can .. ”

*snap*

A soft snapping sound entered Xiao Lie's ears, surprising him. He regained his senses in an instant and turned his head, shouting in a low voice. "Who?"

Following his shout, Xiao Yulong's figure walked up from behind the thick and sturdy tree in the middle of the courtyard. He looked at Xiao Lie in a daze, walked forward a few steps and took the proper etiquette from a junior: "Yulong greets the Fifth Elder … I don't think that Fifth Elder will even be here? Did Yulong bother the Fifth Elder? ”

Xiao Lie's eyes revealed her turmoil .. Her heart back then was filled with sadness and she was sad for a while. It was unexpected that he did not find anyone approaching this place. He also did not know if this Xiao Yulong had heard of his monologue just now. He furrowed his brows and asked: "Yulong, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Yulong immediately replied: “Utusan Xiao Sect will arrive tomorrow. Father believed that this was a major event that would change the fate of the Xiao Clan, and believed that he should tell his grandfather. So he told me to come .. To inadvertently disturb Fifth Elder, Yulong made a mistake. ”

"Then did you hear what I just said?" Xiao Lie's voice became cold and stiff at once. An imposing aura suddenly pushed towards Xiao Yulong.

The strength of someone at the peak Spirit Deep Realm was more than what Xiao Yulong could withstand with his current abilities. As his skin paled, he immediately shook his head: “Yulong also just arrived. If Fifth Elder had not spoken back then, I would not have found the Fifth Elder. I definitely didn't hear the Fifth Elder say anything .. If the Fifth Elder doesn't want to be disturbed, Yulong will leave immediately! "

Xiao Lie could not find a gap in Xiao Yulong's expression. His mind relaxed a little and his aura was attractive. His expression also eased: "Forget it, not anything. The Xiao Sect envoy will arrive tomorrow. You will most likely be chosen. When that time comes, you will rekindle our blood's greatest hope. ”

"The words of the Fifth Elder are heavy. Yulong does not deserve them, ” Xiao Yulong said humbly.

Xiao Lie nodded towards him and turned around to leave this place.

After he left, Xiao Yulong's expression gradually turned subtle. He rubbed his chin with his right hand and muttered with a frown: "Don't tell me .. If this is true, this will be very interesting …"
