Chapter 742 Cooperate to Hide It from Her

Long Tianyu nodded silently. With Qinghu’s assurance, he felt more at ease.

As long as Qinghu and he kept it secret, Lin Mengya would not get any news of it.

At the very least, they had better keep it from her before the poison in her body was neutralized.

After organizing his thoughts for a while, Long Tianyu walked out of the empty room of the inn as if nothing had happened.

He gently pushed the door open, only to see Lin Mengya, who was supposed to be sleeping, leaning against the windowsill.

It was already late spring. Because the four seasons in the Nation of Dongxia were not as distinct as those in the Jin State, there were hundreds of flowers in full bloom outside.

The woman in front of the window was dressed in a fine white gauze dress with long and dark hair, looking distinctively delicate and charming.

“Look, Long Tianyu!” She said and turned around. Under the soft sunshine, she, whose facial features were delicate and dainty, was as beautiful as a cool and otherworldly fairy in the moon palace.

However, Long Tianyu was somehow panic-stricken at the sight of such a beautiful scene.

Perhaps he was afraid that she would suddenly fly away like a fairy.

Subconsciously, he walked up to her and pulled her, who was fragile, into his embrace.

Lin Mengya nestled in his arms comfortably to enjoy the scenery outside.

Although they were in an inn of Jiang City, there was a gorgeous garden behind the inn.

Flowers of various colors planted together on purpose were dazzling and somewhat in harmony.

Lin Mengya saw such beautiful scenery when she felt bored after waking up.

“I suppose the flowers in our mansion are about to bloom. Did you tell the gardeners to take good care of them? Don’t think that you can neglect my flowers when I’m not around,” she said.

Compared with the flowers in the backyard of the inn, the flowers in the Liuxin Courtyard were more vibrant.

They had also hired gardeners to take care of the flowers in the Liuxin Courtyard, but she had both rare flowers and ordinary wildflowers planted together.

In her courtyard, all kinds of flowers were planted together no matter they were rare or not.

Long Tianyu rested his chin on her head, tightened his embrace slightly and said, “Of course I did. The flowers are about to bloom. You will be able to see it after recovering.”

Lin Mengya, who had somehow felt uneasy these days, touched Long Tianyu’s arm with her hand and said, “Actually, I’m not sure whether I can recover. Long Tianyu, if I die, will you...”

She was suddenly interrupted by a passionate kiss.

He was so anxious, as if trying to make sure of something.

Lin Mengya sighed in her heart, blaming herself for upsetting Long Tianyu by saying that when she was aware he was very nervous at the moment.

She let Long Tianyu kiss her until he finally calmed down.

After being let go, Lin Mengya nestled in Long Tianyu’s arms and tried to regulate her erratic heartbeats.

He seemed to be clingier than before, which she had no idea whether was a good thing.

“You will recover, surely will.” He seemed to be consoling himself on the verge of a mental breakdown rather than saying to her.

Lin Mengya swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue and just nodded with a smile on her pale face.

She said, “Well, I will be fine. By the way, can you ask Qinghu in? I want to have a talk with him. Also, I saw some fresh fruits uncommon in the Jin State on the way here. Can you buy me some?”

Knowing that Lin Mengya was trying to send him off, Long Tianyu could only pretend that he did not see through it. He opened the door and went out after putting her down and giving her some instructions.

As her smile faded away, Lin Mengya frowned slightly.

After all, she felt a little worried.

She had gotten no news from her father over the past few days. Now they were supposed to have left the Jin State and arrived in the Nation of Lintian.

Before she left the Capital City, she had sent a letter to her two cousins, but she didn’t know if they had received it.

“Lass, what’s up?” As Lin Mengya felt a breath of breeze, Qinghu appeared in front of her with a frivolous look and said.

Lin Mengya raised her eyes, only to see he was cheerful.

She rested her chin on her hands, looked him up and down and asked, “What happened? Did you teach anyone who lacked judgment a lesson so that you are so abnormally cheerful?”

Qinghu rolled his eyes at Lin Mengya in a coquettish manner that she thought she could never learn even as a woman.

He sat casually beside Lin Mengya and started to share what he had seen with her like a gossipy lady. “I went out just now. You missed the fierce fight between the two governors who even pulled each other’s hair violently just now. It’s quite an eye-opener.”

He was so...

Lin Mengya supported her forehead with her hand. How could she forget that Qinghu had been fondest of watching people fight and gossiping about it under Baizhi’s influence since he stayed in Prince Yu’s Mansion for a period?

Moreover, his excellent martial arts enabled him to see different scenes every time.

Now the two funny governors of Jiang City aroused his interest.

“Don’t neglect your proper business when watching the fun. Have you gotten any message from my father and brother these days?” Lin Mengya asked.

There was a sparkle in Qinghu’s eyes, but he managed to hide it by rolling his eyes.

He said, “No, I haven’t. You know, if your father and brother expose their whereabouts, the Emperor will probably detain them on charges of a certain crime. I believe they will definitely send us a message of safety after arriving at the hinterland of the Nation of Lintian in a few days.”

Lin Mengya pondered for a moment and agreed with Qinghu.

She was too anxious. After all, she could even expose her destination in order to cover up the whereabouts of her father and brother.

“Well. I somehow have been worried these days. Pay attention to messages from my father, and tell me as soon as you get any,” she said.

Qinghu hurriedly promised. Seeing Lin Mengya’s depressed look, he immediately drew a package of exquisite pastries out of his bosom.

“Uh... I can’t move now, but you offer me this kind of calorie-laden food again and again. Aren’t you afraid that I will be too fat for you to move me around?” She said.

Her taste was declining so that she could only eat food with a strong taste now.

Food as sweet as honey was only slightly sweet to her taste.

“I don’t mind. Your husband will help me anyway. In two days, we are going to the island in the middle of the lake to look for the medicinal material. You said that even if we get it, it should be used in an extremely strange way. Shall we prepare something now?” Qinghu changed the topic composedly.

Now Lin Mengya was lost in thought.

The medicinal material was quite strange. She couldn’t use it directly by eating or drinking it.

She had to bathe in a hot spring, where a mixture of it and other medicinal materials were soaked, for three days and three nights.

It was recorded in the music score for the green stringed instrument that the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass contained horrifyingly deadly poison, but it could also be used to fight with the mutated poison in her body.

Nevertheless, she had not gotten the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass, so she had no time to look for the hot spring now.

“We can prepare the other things later. But it’s hard to find the hot spring I need. If we fail to find it, you can put me in a big pot and burn firewood beneath it to keep the water hot for three days and three nights. Just prevent the water from boiling,” she said.

This was the last resort she would take unless she had other choices.

It was best to exchange her blood for a living person’s blood if she were to use the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass to neutralize the poison in her body.

However, she couldn’t take a living person’s blood cruelly to meet her demand like the Candle Dragon Cult.

So she had to take the second-best solution, using hot water to enable the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass to work and remove the poison in her body slowly.

In this way, she would take more risks. Now, she only had a 20% to 30% chance to completely remove the poison in her body.

“Okay, I’ll keep an eye and protect you from any accident. I’m going out to inquire about the hot spring. By the way, if we find no hot spring here, we’ll have to go to the Qijue Peak. I’ll get ready for it in advance so as not to waste time,” Qinghu said.

Lin Mengya nodded. It was rare for him to be so serious, so she certainly agreed with him.

The Qijue Peak, a snow mountain, was said to be the most perilous peak.

Those they sent to explore the Qijue Peak had to go downhill halfway up the mountain.

She really didn’t want to go to that horrible place.

Hopefully, there was mature Seven Poisons Sacred Grass on the island in the middle of the lake.

Although they were going to the island in only two days, Lin Mengya felt each day seemed like a year.

It was not because she couldn’t move and had to stay in her room all day long.

On the contrary, she looked helplessly at the two men who were confronting each other furiously, with no idea what Hou Yuetian had done to offend Qinghu completely.

Compared with the awkward relationship between Hou Yuetian and Long Tianyu a few days ago, Qinghu and Hou Yuetian now were enemies who would pull down the house at the slightest disagreement.

“We’d better go out. I think the house will be ruined sooner or later.” Lin Mengya rubbed her glabella as she spoke to Long Tianyu cautiously at the sight that the two men were ready to fight.

“It’s alright. Anyway, Hou Yuetian is rich, and they will charge this to his account,” Long Tianyu said with a gentle smile.

In fact, the fight between the two of them was planned by him, although there was just a little misunderstanding between them.

He glanced at Hou Yuetian, who was sullen, with his dark and slanted eyes, thinking Hou Yuetian, who pestered his wife, deserved this.

Long Tianyu pushed Lin Mengya out of the room. With no one disturbing them, both of their faces softened.

Tomorrow, they were going to the island in the middle of the lake to search the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass. It was impossible for them not to feel nervous.

Long Tianyu had been nervous the whole day, but he didn’t want to show it in front of Lin Mengya.
