Reborn Lady: Unparalleled Daughter of Concubine-Chapter 347 - The Loss Outweighed the Gain
Chapter 347 The Loss Outweighed the Gain
“You…” Yu Haitang wanted to stop immediately, but his figure was fixed by something strange. When he looked back, he just found that the maid had used the yellow talisman, which he prepared to use to freeze Leng Changxi’s soul, to freeze him. He didn’t know how this maid could be so capable.
“Don’t move.” The eyes of the hunchbacked maid looked cunning, which he felt somewhat familiar with. Yu Haitang raised his eyebrows lightly, just to see that the hunchbacked maid stood erectly with a smile. She took out a soft pillow from her back. It turned out that she did not have a hunchback at all.
The hunchbacked maid smiled at Yu Haitang, “Your Royal Highness, your strategy has been opened. If you stop it now, you should know the consequences better than I do.”
“Who are you?” Yu Haitang glared at this homely maid with a straight back. The maid didn’t look like a servant anymore. She straightened her back, showing noble temperament.
Tearing off the human-skin mask on her face, the hunchbacked maid revealed her beautiful face. Her eyes were as brilliant as stars, which were so attractive as magic stones. Yu Haitang was a bit dumbfounded, but immediately, he found how scheming and capable the women in front of him were.
“Qin Yunuan. It’s you!”
“Why you so surprised?” Qin Yunuan smiled with two beautiful dimples on the corners of her lips, “I’ve thought you had already known that it was me.”
Yu Haitang compressed his lips gently, “I underestimated your inner Qi. I didn’t expect you to have such mighty inner Qi and be so good at martial arts. I originally thought that you were just a little smarter than ordinary women. I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect…”
“It’s too late.” Qin Yunuan watched the continuous inner Qi slowly flow from Yu Haitang’s body to Leng Changxi’s, which made Leng Changxi’s face ruddier and ruddier. She raised her head slightly to watch Yu Haitang whose face was becoming pale and said, “The wages of sin is death. This is the price you should pay.”
Naturally, Yu Haitang was unwilling to give his profound inner Qi to his mortal enemy. But unfortunately, his body was fixed by Qin Yunuan with a yellow talisman. At this moment, Zhang Xue’s voice came from outside.
“General, what happened inside?”
“Zhang Xue…” Yu Haitang’s eyebrows suddenly stretched. Although it was Sima Ray who controlled the consciousness of this body, Zhang Xue was Yu Haitang’s old servant and also his at this time. But…
In order to prevent Zhang Xue from doing things in his name in the camp, Yu Haitang intended to kill Zhang Xue. So he poisoned him with Heartbreak Powder when he patted him just now, and it was time for it to take effect at this time.
Yu Haitang was so anxious, and he never thought that the person who could save him at this time turned out to be the person he wanted to kill before.
“Zhang Xue, come in!” Yu Haitang shouted to the outside. He had placed a ban on approaching within 30 meters around the camp, and no one dared to approach except Zhang Xue.
Zhang Xue opened the curtain hurriedly. As soon as he saw the scene inside, he was taken aback. When he was about to walk in, he was stopped by Yu Haitang snappishly, “Stop! You b*st*rd. Do you want to kill me?” Yu Haitang glanced at Zhang Xue with the corner of his eye, motioned Qin Yunuan with his eyes, and said to Zhang Xue, “Go. Switch the copper bells on the four corners of the bed back. Hurry up. Move it fast.”
Zhang Xue glanced at Qin Yunuan. He didn’t realize that the beautiful woman in front of him was actually the ugly hunchbacked maid in the afternoon until he saw the human-skin mask on the ground.
“Zhang Xue, if you do!” Qin Yunuan didn’t yield. Leng Changxi was lying on the wooden bed in the center. The powerful inner Qi which flowed to his body made him unable to move for a while, and he could only see Qin Yunuan vaguely who was standing in front of him. His public region was as hot as fire, with the pure inner Qi flowing into it. Leng Changxi could only use the genuine energy in his body to assimilate the inner Qi bit by bit, lest his veins should suddenly break.
“Zhang Xue, you’ll die if you get one step closer.” Qin Yunuan said loudly to Zhang Xue, who was bent.
Zhang Xue thought that she was frightening him, because she was just a weak woman. Even if she could disguise herself, she could do nothing big.
After taking a big step, Zhang Xue suddenly felt a stomach cramp. He looked up in horror and looked at Qin Yunuan.
“If you take another two steps, your intestines will instantly break into seven segments. Then, your internal organs will bleed heavily, your body will swell up suddenly, your blood will block your heart, and finally, you will die.” Qin Yunuan looked at Zhang Xue’s face which was getting redder and redder. She could tell at a glance what had poisoned him. Heartbreak Powder? Qin Yunuan hadn’t used such a low-level poison for a long time.
“You… When did you poison me?” Zhang Xue pointed at Qin Yunuan viciously, but he really didn’t dare to move.
“I poisoned you?” Qin Yunuan shook her head disdainfully, “I don’t even bother to waste the poison to deal with you. Don’t you know? It was not anyone else who poisoned you, but the master you have been loyal to. Yu Haitang, or Sima Ray.”
“What?” Zhang Xue looked at Yu Haitang blankly, while Yu Haitang didn’t care about him at all. What he was thinking about was how to get rid of the yellow talisman quickly.
“Look at your shoulder. Is there a palm print?” Qin Yunuan firmly pressed the two copper bells at the foot of the bed with her hands. She felt clearly that Yu Haitang was trying to break through the yellow talisman with his inner Qi. Even though Qin Yunuan’s force and skill had been stronger after she trained with Leng Changxi together before, she was still a woman with limited strength, so the copper bells in her hands had already begun to shake.
Zhang Xue pulled the clothes off his shoulder, and he really saw a very clear red palm print on the skin from his collarbone to his shoulder, which had slowly turned blue at this time`.
“I have never touched your shoulder. Think about it. With so many people in the camp, who would dare to slap your shoulder like this except your master Yu Haitang?” Qin Yunuan felt a little labored. After all, Yu Haitang was a monster who had absorbed so many people’s force and skill. Even Leng Changxi was no match for him, let alone Qin Yunuan, a gentle woman.
Zhang Xue glanced at Yu Haitang suspiciously, “I don’t believe. He is my master.”
“So what?” Qin Yunuan raised her voice, “Yes. He is your master. Therefore, if he wants you to die, you must die. If he poisons you, you must endure such great pain? Right?”
“No!” Zhang Xue covered his painful abdomen, “Didn’t you say that I won’t feel painful as long as I don’t move?”
“Did I?” Qin Yunuan shrugged, “I just don’t want you to be too close to me when you feel painful.”
“You… You demon woman.” Zhang Xue knelt on the ground out of pain with trembling fingertips, but his body was facing Yu Haitang. Zhang Xue turned his head and said to Yu Haitang, “Master, I’ve been working for you for so long. How can you treat me like this?”
Yu Haitang was concentrating on transporting the energy in his body, and he didn’t even open his eyes. He knew that Zhang Xue was unreliable then, “Think about it carefully. If I had poisoned you, why should I have left such an obvious mark on your shoulder? You were obviously hurt by inner Qi from the bruise on your shoulder. Except for me, Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan in this room could both do that. Maybe you were injured by inner Qi when you came in.”
Qin Yunuan raised her eyebrows, and the copper bells in her hands were shaking greatly as if they were about to fall from her hands. It seemed that it couldn’t be delayed any longer.
“Zhang Xue, if you want to take your revenge, just stick the second yellow talisman on your master’s body. Otherwise, you will die in vain.”
Zhang Xue turned his head and saw that there was another yellow talisman with a scribble written by cinnabar on it on the table. It was pasted on the corner of the table and fluttered slightly.
Yu Haitang was shocked. He didn’t know that Qin Yunuan was so clear about the effect of these yellow talismans. The first yellow talisman could fix his body, and the second one could fix his soul. If Yu Haitang had the second yellow talisman pasted to his body, he couldn’t even use the genuine energy that he could still use at this time then, and he could only allow Leng Changxi to absorb all his inner Qi.
“Paste it on him, Zhang Xue.” Qin Yunuan yelled. Her forehead was sweating, and the copper bells in her hands were rising higher and higher. Leng Changxi clearly felt that the inner Qi flowing to him was so unstable. He opened his eyes with difficulty and said weakly, “Nuan, just release your hands.”
“No.” Qin Yunuan shook her head stubbornly, “If I released my hands, your life would be in danger. Besides, this old monster has absorbed so many people’s inner Qi and done so many bad things. It’s okay to give some of his inner Qi to you. We are just getting rid of evil for the people.”
Leng Changxi trembled suddenly. He clearly felt that Yu Haitang was using an unusually powerful force to take back the inner Qi that had been in his body. He couldn’t wait any longer. Leng Changxi held his breath.
“Zhang Xue, paste the yellow talisman on him!” Qin Yunuan’s voice had become hoarse.
“No need now!” Leng Changxi suddenly slapped the wooden bed with his hand. Even Qin Yunuan, who was leaning against the end of the bed, could feel that the wooden bed was cracking. Leng Changxi jumped onto the screen from the bed, and the wooden bed suddenly shattered into fragments, which made Qin Yunuan and Yu Haitang both retreat. Yu Haitang leaned on the table and tore the second yellow talisman into pieces directly. He glanced at Zhang Xue, who was crawling on the ground out of pain, giving him a strike in the air.
“Good-for-nothing.” In an instant, Zhang Xue vomited blood and died. Yu Haitang looked at Zhang Xue viciously, and then looked at Leng Changxi who leaped off the screen. Yu Haitang’s tied hair hanged down loosely, and his eyes looked weirdly red.
“Great.” Yu Haitang smiled evilly at Leng Changxi, “Now that you have taken away half of my inner Qi, we are evenly matched then.”
