“Pfft,”
A mouth ful of fresh blood spewed from Shangguan Mingyue's lips. I wanted to rush over to help her, but she shouted for me not to come closer.
Enduring the excruciating pain, Shangguan Mingyue grasped Cao Jin's hand. Gritting her teeth, she swung the Bronze Sword towards Cao Jin's hand.
With a single strike, two screams echoed in the air.
Cao Jin lost an arm, and Shangguan Mingyue collapsed weakly to the ground.
Seizing this opportunity, I dashed over and ensnared Cao Jin with Ink Line.
Now, he was no longer the fierce warrior he had been before; he couldn't break free from the Ink Line and had no talismans left to aid him.
With one arm lost, he was bound like a Zongzi, unable to move.
I pulled out Shiro and approached him. Only when he saw Shiro did a flicker of fear cross his face.
He suddenly froze, his eyes wide open, and his lips trembled violently.
“You... you are that girl from the Gu Family,”
I was surprised he recognized me; there was no point in hiding anymore.
“Yes, Cao Jin, today is the day you meet your end,”
Just as I was about to plunge Shiro into his heart, he suddenly shouted, “Wait!”
“Cao Jin, don’t think you can stall for time,” I shouted, driving Shiro into Cao Jin's chest. With just one more push, he would be finished.
To my surprise, he fought back fiercely, grabbing hold of Shiro in my hand. With only one hand, he couldn't match my strength, but this guy was incredibly cunning. He called out for me to stop.
“Gu Yanxi, don’t you want to know the origin of Shiro?”
Well, he had successfully piqued my curiosity. I halted my movements and glared at him warily. “What do you want?”
He gasped for breath, appearing to be in pain.
“I’ll trade you the secret of Shiro for my life. I know you won’t let me go; I don’t want to die. I hope you can help me reincarnate.”
I hesitated. I had been trying to uncover the secret of Shiro for a long time without success. If I could unravel this mystery, everything else would gradually come to light.
But Cao Jin had harmed so many people; it felt unjust to let him escape death.
“Yan Xi, let's make a trade,”
A weak voice came from behind me; it was Shangguan Mingyue.
I turned to look at her, and she nodded firmly.
Cao Jin was captured by Mingyue, and since she agreed to the exchange, I had no objections.
“It's you, but if you try any tricks, you know the consequences,”
Under my threat, Cao Jin revealed a secret that few knew.
During the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, besides the major states like Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou, there were also some mysterious nations.
One of these nations was called Zhao.
The Zhao nation had always been controlled by the Zhao Clan, but in the year 95 AD, a foreign king emerged.
This king opened up a new chapter for Zhao; he won every battle and subdued many surrounding nations.
It was said that this Usurper King possessed a knife that could traverse between realms, and it was with this knife that he cultivated an invincible army of Yin Soldiers.
“So, you want to say that the knife capable of traversing realms in his possession is the same as my Shiro,”
Cao Jin nodded at me, acknowledging my reasoning.
I found it hard to believe; this was too bizarre, beyond my comprehension.
I reached out and grabbed him, staring intently into his eyes. "Are you sure you're not just making this up?"
Due to my skepticism, Cao Jin appeared extremely angry.
"Our Cao Family has passed down this secret since ancient times. Besides us, it's nearly impossible for anyone else to know it. I guarantee it on the honor of the Cao Family, but this is all I know. My stubborn old man didn't tell me anything more. If you don't believe me, go ahead and try."
I kept my gaze fixed on him, and I didn't see any change in his expression. It seemed he wasn't lying.
"Fine, I'll believe you this once. Come on, relax, don't think about anything. I'll send you on your way."
He nodded and closed his eyes.
I recited the Rebirth Incantation, guiding him into the afterlife.
A wisp of green smoke floated out from his body as he slumped down, leaving behind an old, darkened skin.
Taking a deep breath, I went to knock on the door, having already arranged the secret knock beforehand.
After the sound faded, a burly man burst through the door with others in tow.
Seeing us, their eyes widened in shock.
"Damn it! What happened to you two? Are you trying to get yourselves killed?"
"Alright, just stop it. Hurry up and take me and Mingyue to Bai Qiling," I said.
The reason we chose to go to Bai Qiling instead of the hospital was that I felt this kind of injury wouldn't be properly diagnosed by doctors. Going to Bai Qiling was the best option.
Upon arriving at Bai Qiling's clinic, the doorman nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw me and rushed inside to fetch Bai Qiling.
The moment Bai Qiling laid eyes on Shangguan Mingyue, a look of deep concern flashed in his eyes, overflowing with compassion.
I sensed something was off; it felt like there was something strange about Bai Qiling's reaction to Mingyue. It was baffling that such a cold-hearted person could show such tenderness.
He rushed over and scooped Shangguan Mingyue out of the arms of the burly man, shooting him a glare that resembled that of a rival in love, leaving the man utterly confused.
I followed them into the clinic. Mingyue was laid on the bed, already unconscious.
The hand that had been gripping her shoulder looked horrifying. After examining her, Bai Qiling turned around and exploded at me.
"What did you do? How could you let her get hurt like this? Are you brainless? Don't you know that Corpse Poison can be fatal?"
I stood there dumbfounded, unable to retort as Bai Qiling berated me.
Seeing me being scolded seemed to irritate the burly man, who stepped forward and snapped back, "You focus on treating her. What’s with the insults? Does she want to hear that? No one wants to see Mingyue hurt, you know?"
Bai Qiling's face darkened ominously, as if a storm were about to break.
My throat felt tight with anxiety, fearing that if the two of them started fighting, it would only complicate matters. Fortunately, in the end, he swallowed his anger and pointed at us.
"Get out of here; you’re not welcome."
That was fine. If the big guy and I left, it would ease the tense atmosphere and allow Bai Qiling to treat Shangguan Mingyue.
I pulled the big guy to leave, but just as we took a couple of steps, a sharp pain shot through my abdomen. It hurt so much that I could barely stand, and I crouched down on the ground, crying out in agony.
Seeing me like this, the big guy panicked.
"Bai Qiling, come quickly and check on Gu Yanxi! What’s wrong with her? Hurry up!"
He was frantic, but Bai Qiling merely smiled coldly and said sarcastically, "Let her suffer; I have another patient here and can’t deal with her. Turn right when you go out; there’s a hospital. Help yourself."
"You..."
The big guy was furious and almost charged at Bai Qiling, but I stopped him.
"Ah!"
Unable to hold back my pain, I cried out. I didn’t understand why my stomach hurt so much.
It felt as if the baby inside me was crying. I dared not move around too much; I just crouched there quietly, pleading with the big guy.
"Take me to the hospital quickly, my stomach is killing me," I gasped.
The burly man rushed forward and grabbed Bai Qiling.
"Get over there and check on her! She's in so much pain!"
"Let her suffer; I won't look," Bai Qiling's voice was cold, devoid of any warmth. I knew he was angry, angry at me for letting Mingyue get hurt.
"Ah," another wave of cramping pain shot through my abdomen.
The burly man was sweating profusely, pressing Bai Qiling.
"Bai Qiling, you damned bastard, hurry up and save Gu Yanxi, do you hear me? Otherwise, the Island Master won't let you off!"
Bai Qiling remained unmoved.
"Bai Qiling, if you don't go save her now and the Island Master finds out, he will definitely not let Shangguan Mingyue live. Do you think Shangguan Mingyue would forgive you if she knew you refused to help her?"
The man's words stunned Bai Qiling for a moment.
Reluctantly, he stepped closer and placed his hand on my wrist to check my pulse.
After a moment, he looked up at me with anger in his eyes.
"What have you done to the child inside you?"
I shook my head, recalling the scene when the Black Dog Blood was splashed on me, and my heart tightened instantly.
"I just got splashed with Black Dog Blood," I said.
After I finished speaking, Bai Qiling picked me up and threw me onto the bed next to Shangguan Mingyue.
"You don't want the child, but I still want my life. If Mu Xuanche finds out the child is in danger, he will definitely kill me."
Upon hearing that the child might not survive, I suddenly couldn't sit still and struggled to get up.
"Bai Qiling, please, you have to save the child. Even if it costs me my life, you must save the child."
