Chapter 392: The Power of the Miaojiang Goddess
Chapter 392: The Power of the Miaojiang Goddess
Early in the morning, Chen Long went to find Si She, guessing that this guy wouldn't last more than two nights at Xu's house.
After enduring his constant nagging for two months, Chen Long was afraid he might lose his temper if he had to listen to this guy any longer.
Si She calmly nodded, "Ji Li."
He was completely unmoved by the cheesy line, "This handsome guy wants to die for you."
Chen Long became even more certain that bringing Si She here was one of the wisest decisions he had made recently.
When Ji Li saw Si She, she suddenly remembered something and said to Chen Long, "Chen Long, didn't you say that your little Chen Long was about to reach the capital? Why haven't I seen him since I returned to the capital? He didn't even show up for our grand wedding?"
No new wedding gift?
Five copper coins were added to the account!
Not only had he not seen him, but Meng Qianqian had been in the capital all this time and hadn't seen him either.
Meng Qianqian couldn't help but look at her brother.
Chen Long frowned, "He must have gotten lost again."
Meng Qianqian's mouth twitched. Again? The tone of his voice made her wonder if little Chen Long was a complete directionally challenged. She was curious as to how her brother had chosen this person to be little Chen Long.
"Don't worry about him," Chen Long said, "After I get my revenge, I'll go find him."
Meng Qianqian was even more confused, "After getting revenge, you mean to find him... Will he always be lost...?"
Chen Long also regretted his impulsive decision.
Who would have thought that his little disciple, despite being formidable, was a directionally challenged individual who couldn't tell east from west.
Indeed, one couldn't judge a person solely by their appearance... or their skills.
Soon, Lu Yuan arrived as well.
The two exchanged greetings.
Lu Yuan asked, "Did Luo San not come with you?"
Si She replied, "He's behind me."
Just as he finished speaking, Luo San strode confidently into the Liu family residence.
Following him were eight attendants from Wushan.
Meng Qianqian raised an eyebrow, "Oh, looking mighty impressive."
After not seeing him for a few months, Luo San seemed like a completely different person. From head to toe, he had transformed, as if reborn, even his gaze and aura were unlike when he was in the capital.
He stood under the blazing sun, unapologetically.
"Luo San."
Lu Yuan spoke.
Luo Shan smiled, "You should call me Luo Shan now."
Lu Yuan acknowledged with a nod.
Luo Shan turned to look at Meng Qianqian and bowed respectfully, "Yin Hu Wei."
Meng Qianqian returned the gesture, "Young Master Luo."
In Wushan, there was no concept of male superiority; in fact, women held higher status within the family. Luo Shan's mother was the eldest daughter of the Luo family, the rightful heir.
After her passing, her only son, Luo Shan, became the young master of the Luo family.
In the future, if he had a daughter, she would inherit the position of the Wushan Witch.
Luo Shan spoke sincerely to the couple, "Thanks to you, I was able to reunite with my family. I won't forget this favor. If there's ever a need for my help, just ask, and the Luo family will not refuse."
As one of the three great clans of Wushan, the Luo family's heritage was not to be underestimated.
Luo Shan's gratitude towards Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian was not just for the reunion, but also for the position you rightfully deserve."
Luo Shan paused, "I've always had a doubt. How did you know I was a Luo family member?
Lu Yuan replied, "You're a Luo."
Luo Shan nodded, "Just that?"
Lu Yuan's words were a reminder of his power, a reminder of his dominance, and his grip on her bounce on his lap, her body moving in a dance of pleasure and submission.
"You're mine, my little Chen Long," he whispered, his voice a mix of tenderness and possession.
Meng Qianqian watched, her heart torn between admiration and concern for her brother.
Lu Yuan noticed her gaze, "What are you thinking?"
Meng Qianqian smiled, her lips curving, "You'll see."
Lu Yuan asked, curious, "What will I see?"
Meng Qianqian smiled, not speaking, and turned to Si She, "Si She, you came just in time. I need your help."
Si She asked, "Is it about the poisoning of the Shang family's child?"
"Yes," Meng Qianqian nodded.
On their way here, Chen Long had informed Si She about the situation with the Dragon and Phoenix Twins.
Si She, an expert in poisons, might be able to identify the toxin affecting Shang Changle.
A group of people arrived at Shang Changle's room.
The Dragon and Phoenix Twins had just finished their breakfast, and Shang Wuyou was watching his sister petting her tabby cat.
When he arrived in the capital, the Si She and her companions had already left.
"You all go out first. Meng Xiaojiu, stay," Si She instructed the group.
"I'll stay too," Shang Wuyou requested.
Chen Long immediately pulled him out of the room.
Inside the room, only Si She, Meng Xiaojiu, and Shang Changle remained.
Meng Xiaojiu held Shang Changle's hand, "Don't be nervous. Si She is here to help you with the detoxification."
"I may not be able to detoxify it," Si She admitted. "I'm skilled in poisoning, but many poisons I can't even detoxify myself."
Meng Xiaojiu raised an eyebrow, "So, you're the type to dig but not bury?"
Si She hesitated, "..."
Shang Changle let out a soft laugh. The tense atmosphere eased, and she extended her slender wrist, "Please, Si She."
Si She explained, "I need to take your blood, and it will hurt a little."
Shang Changle softly replied, "Changle isn't afraid of pain."
Si She didn't say more. She took out a dagger and heated it over a candle flame for a moment. With a swift motion, she sliced open Shang Changle's index finger, collecting a few drops of blood on a colorful seashell.
Meng Xiaojiu's eyes widened as she recognized the shell, "Hey, isn't this Rabbit's treasure?"
Si She's eyes narrowed with suspicion, "How do you know about this?"
Meng Xiaojiu realized her slip of the tongue. In her previous life, she was well-versed in Rabbit's affairs, but in this life, she hadn't met Rabbit.
Meng Xiaojiu quickly fabricated a story, "The Grand Marshal's office investigated the Twelve Guards, and I read the files. It had information about your preferred weapons and hidden tools."
Si She seemed to accept the explanation and didn't inquire further.
Meng Xiaojiu blinked, "By the way, where is Rabbit?"
"She escaped, and her whereabouts are unknown," Si She replied.
Meng Xiaojiu asked, "You even dared to take her treasure. Aren't you afraid she'll come after you?"
After all, Rabbit was a descendant of the Medicine King Valley, and she wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Si She admitted, "I originally intended to take her head."
Meng Xiaojiu decided to let it go.
As Shang Changle's blood dripped onto the colorful seashell, it seemed to react to a powerful poison, instantly losing its luster.
Meng Xiaojiu had seen Rabbit use this shell before. Ordinary poisons would only cause the shell to lose one color, while the most potent poisons could make it lose three.
Shang Changle's eyes narrowed, "What poison did I get? So domineering?"
Shang Changle's gaze shifted to Si She.
A complex emotion flashed in Si She's eyes, "The most powerful poison in the world—Soulshattering Grass."
Meng Xiaojiu prided herself on her medical skills and poison techniques passed down from Yinting, but she had never heard of this poison.
Shang Changle whispered, "I've read about it in the Thousand Secrets Pavilion's books. Crystal Sea Island, the master of poisons, the seven poisons that rule, and Soulshattering Grass at the top. So, this is the poison I got."
She laughed as if it were nothing, "Si She, how much time do I have left?"
Si She explained, "Your body is too weak to say for certain. Moreover, the medicine you take monthly isn't an antidote, but a poison to enhance the Soulshattering Grass's dominance."
Meng Xiaojiu Xiaojiu patted Shang Changle's head, "Don't worry, there's still the Grandmatriarch. A surge of inner strength passed through the roof, effortlessly sending Yu Zichuan and Qingshuang flying.
Si She's eyes flickered.
Is this the power of the Miao Territory Goddess?
