Chapter 640 Mutual Repulsion of Flesh and Soul

It was just a very short moment, but it made Lin Mengya exhaust all the strength to recover. Her white and tender palms were already full of cold sweat.

“Okay, I’ll get it right away.”

Yunzhu didn’t dare to delay and immediately went to the kitchen to fetch some desserts and syrup for Lin Mengya. Lin Mengya tried to get up but found that her lower limbs didn’t have any strength. She had no choice but to close her eyes slightly and lean against Qinghu’s chest.

He carried her into a quiet room as if holding a child. “What happened?” Qinghu couldn’t make any jokes now, and his beautiful brows furrowed in worry.

He had long known there was something wrong with Lin Mengya. However, he had never seen her like this before. In just a short moment, the girl’s face had turned extremely pale, and she had got soaked by cold sweat, looking as if she had been fished out of a river. Seeing her so weak, Qinghu could only hold her tightly. There was nothing else he could do.

“It’s just… it’s just the poisoning I got before. There was remaining poison in my body. I’m OK. I’ll pay more attention to it in the future.” In the end, Lin Mengya still swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. She couldn’t tell anyone in the family this big secret except Tian Ning, who had suspected it for a long time.

She was not worried the people in the family would betray her and spread it out. But this thing was much too incredible. The soul that had existed in another time and space had traveled to this time and space. She was afraid that no one would believe it.

“OK. I’ll go find Yunzhu. You stay here and take a good rest.” Qinghu lowered his eyes and cast a worried look at Lin Mengya. He knew that this girl must have hidden something from him. However, according to Lin Mengya’s character, no matter how he asked, Lin Mengya would not tell him as long as she didn’t want to.

So, it was better to go and find the food most suitable for her current situation, because it was more practical. Lin Mengya nodded, leaned on the soft pillow, and watched Qinghu walk away quickly. Then the pretending smile of relaxation on her face completely disappeared. She turned on the Shen Nung system solemnly, but what caught her a bit by surprise was that this top research result of modern medicine could not improve her condition at all.

Lin Mengya had always relied on the Shen Nung system. She had gained a firm foothold here step by step and got everything she had now with the help of the Shen Nung system. But the Shen Nung system could do anything for her at this critical moment. This made Lin Mengya suddenly feel a little at a loss.

In the system, all the indexes of her body were normal. And her body did begin to regain strength slowly. Except for the possibility that her soul had almost gone out of her body, Lin Mengya couldn’t find any reason to explain her situation just now.

Even if there were remaining poison in her body, then she must feel hurt in her body. But now she was 100% sure, except for the soreness and weakness, nothing was wrong with her body, and she didn’t feel any pain at all. What was going on on earth?

Soon, Qinghu and Yunzhu returned to the room where Lin Mengya was, carrying two wooden plates full of desserts and some sugar water. The pear sugar soup was sweet but not greasy, and the peony cookies were crispy and delicious. And the chef had specially made her some exquisite fruit candy. The sweetness and warmness gradually dispelled Lin Mengya’s tiredness. “Eat before the food gets cold. If you want more, Yunzhu will get it for you.”

Knowing the physical condition of Lin Mengya, Qinghu immediately picked up the spoon and fed Lin Mengya the food carefully and tenderly. Lin Mengya had tried hard to eat by herself, but her hands were still trembling. So, she just accepted the special care of Qinghu and Yunzhu at ease. Although her body had recovered, she still felt worried as if her heart were hanging in the air.

But she didn’t know whom to turn to for help. “Hall Master, I heard that you and Qinghu are going to look for some herb together? We have a lot of masters in Sanjue Hall. If you need any medicine, we can get it for you no matter where it is. Why bother going personally?” Yunzhu took out a handkerchief, gently wiped off the crumbs at the corner of Lin Mengya’s mouth, and asked softly.

Although Yunzhu was the girlfriend of Lin Mengya’s master, she had to show respect to Lin Mengya in Sanjue Hall.

Besides, she could be regarded as one of Lin Mengya’s most trusted people besides Qinghu. So, Lin Mengya didn’t intend to hide the matter of looking for the herb from her. After pondering for a while, Lin Mengya decided to reveal part of her thoughts first.

She said, “I know it is very troublesome, but the medicine is very rare and special. If you pick it off, you must take it within half an hour. Otherwise, it will be ruined. Moreover, this kind of herb cannot be transplanted. As long as it left its original soil, it will wither. With such strict growth conditions, if you want to bring it back to me, it will be as difficult as going to the sky. So, I have to go by myself.” Lin Mengya was telling the truth. She had seen this herb on the music score for a green stringed instrument.

It had peculiar efficacy, and its growing conditions were so restrictive that people could do nothing to bend the rules.

She had also thought about using the cultivation techniques of the Zuo family. But unfortunately, even with Zuo Qiuyu and Zuo Qiuchen’s abilities, the chance of success was only one in ten thousand. Besides, if she took this medicine, the probability of her survival was less than one in ten. So, no matter what the situation was, she had to find it by herself.

“I see. If this is the case, then our masters can follow and protect you in secret. After all, Sanjue Hall now has many martial arts masters, and you need guards by your side.” Yunzhu’s worry was not unreasonable, but Qinghu declined her kindness. “With me by her side, no one else is needed.”

This might be their last and only journey together. He would be alone with her. Therefore, he did not want anyone to disturb them. “I agree with Qinghu. After all, I’m afraid there is no one stronger than him in our Sanjue Hall.” After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya also decided to follow Qinghu’s advice.

It was better not to attract anyone’s attention this time. She had made up her mind and would make desperate efforts. If others knew about it, she was afraid she would not bear to leave and take the risk. After eating a lot of sweets, Lin Mengya finally recovered her strength. Her legs were still a little weak, but at least, with Qinghu’s support, she could walk freely.

“I will go back first. We should try not to cause anyone’s suspicion. The matter will be handled according to the result of our discussion. As for the road map, I will hand it over to you as soon as possible.” After all the details had been finalized, time was almost up. Everyone in the Liuxin Courtyard was covering for her. So, at least for now, there was no news of Long Tianyu looking for her.

As long as she went back quietly, the matter would not be discovered by anyone. Lin Mengya then boarded the carriage, and as the carriage joggled, Lin Mengya was lost in thought. The accident today was so weird, and she couldn’t think of any reason to explain her situation.

Was this a sequela after traveling through space-time? Did souls and bodies also have rejection reactions like organ transplants? But why had she never felt it before? Why did it happen today?

Looking at the familiar hands, Lin Mengya could only hold herself tightly. If her soul was forced to separate from the body, would she become a wandering ghost in this strange country? Her clever and calm mind was filled with messy thoughts now.

This kind of thing, which was completely beyond her cognition, made her completely helpless. When she returned to the Prince’s Mansion safely, everything was still quiet. Long Tianyu seemed to have something urgent to deal with, so he had just sent a subordinate to pass the message to the Liuxin Courtyard, saying that he would come back later.

Lin Mengya secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the yard leisurely with Baishao who came out to greet her. “Madam, why are your clothes wet?” Baishao glanced at her Madam in confusion. When she had assisted Lin Mengya out of the carriage just now, she found her body a little trembling.

Baishao had stretched out her hands to support Lin Mengya, only to find her sleeves were a little bit moist. Could it be that Madam had got caught in the rain? She raised her head. The night sky was cloudless, and the stars are exceptionally bright. It hadn’t rained.

“Oh, nothing serious. I was in a hurry, so I trotted on the way back. Let’s go change the clothes, lest the Prince should notice it.” Ling Mengya made an excuse, but fortunately, Baishao and the others were always obedient and didn’t have any suspicion. Ling Mengya took a bath and changed her clothes again, regaining her refreshing look. And the hot water had thoroughly warmed her body and heart.

She was not as panicked as before. After the things had happened today, Lin Mengya didn’t feel sleepy at all. After sending the girls to take the children to go sleep, Lin Mengya sat alone at the gate of the Liuxin courtyard and looked at the unpolluted night sky in a daze.

There was no doubt that both her love and hatred were here. She had gradually gotten used to everything here after living here for one year. Gradually, she had completely immersed herself into the role of Lin Mengya.

However, the accident today had made her doubt in her heart. So, was she now Lin Mengya or Su Qingge, who had already become strange and distant?

“You love looking at the night sky obsessively just like her. Sometimes I asked her what she was looking at, and she said maybe there was another her on the moon. Do you think it is weird?”
