Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 389 Two people talk

But at this time.

Yue Qinghuan sat to the side, watching the sweet interaction between Li Qingyuan and Su Yaoyue;

She felt inexplicably uneasy, as if a small insect was gently nibbling at her.

She felt superfluous in this heartwarming scene, and couldn't sit still.

Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer, and abruptly stood up, saying in a slightly hurried voice:

"I'm going out to order food. You guys chat first."

Without waiting for anyone's response, she hurriedly reached out, grabbed Wang Anran's arm, and walked out quickly like a frightened little rabbit.

But that silhouette conveyed a sense of panic and loneliness.

.......

After Yue Qinghuan's figure disappeared from sight.

Su Yaoyue then gazed thoughtfully at Li Qingyuan, her eyes seeming to hold a thousand words she wanted to say.

But in the end, he quietly swallowed those words.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Li Qingyuan seemed to have a tacit understanding and vaguely guessed what was going on. He coughed lightly twice and slowly said:

"Ahem, after you left, Yue Qinghuan tried to invite me to join the Treasure Pavilion..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Yaoyue's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and her voice rose several decibels in urgency:

"You've joined the Treasure Pavilion?"

Li Qingyuan gently shook her head, her expression calm as she said:

"No."

Su Yaoyue frowned slightly, her eyes full of doubt, and then asked:

"Then how come you ended up together, and even appeared in Zhongzhou together?"

Upon hearing Su Yaoyue mention this matter, Li Qingyuan's thoughts instantly drifted away, and the scene of Elder Hua being rushed to receive treatment appeared in her mind.

He was extremely worried, wondering about Elder Hua's current health condition...

Has the rampant toxin been successfully suppressed? How much longer can Elder Hua hold on? Will he be able to give them enough time to find the precious medicinal herbs needed for the antidote...?

Thinking about all this, Li Qingyuan's brows furrowed slightly involuntarily.

Just then, Su Yaoyue asked the question, so he took a deep breath and softly called out:

"Yaoyao..."

------

"Ok?"

Su Yaoyue was slightly taken aback; this was the first time Li Qingyuan had addressed her so intimately.

In an instant, a blush rose on her cheeks, and her heart was filled with joy.

However, she also keenly sensed that Li Qingyuan must have something to say, so she suppressed her shyness and asked with concern:

"what happened?"

Li Qingyuan no longer hesitated, his expression solemn, and immediately recounted the whole story:

"Old Master Hua was tricked and killed by the combined forces of the Tianwu Dynasty and others. He was poisoned and is now on the verge of death."

"Yue Qinghuan and I came to Zhongzhou together for this very reason."

"Miss Yue helped me a lot. She not only helped me find a way to cure Old Master Hua, but also went to great lengths to provide me with all sorts of conveniences..."

At this point, Li Qingyuan paused slightly, looked at Su Yaoyue with gentle eyes, and explained tactfully:

“Yaoyao, I know there might be some misunderstanding between you and Miss Yue, but she really helped a lot this time.”

"I'm telling you this now so that you understand the reason behind it."

"Secondly... I also wanted to ask you if you know where I can find medicinal herbs that can cure Elder Hua's poison?"

------

Upon hearing this, Su Yaoyue's stunningly beautiful face instantly turned angry, and flames seemed to burn in her eyes.

After all, she had spent two years in the Heavenly Sword Sect, so she was naturally very familiar with Hua Qingcang, the highly respected patriarch of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and knew that Li Qingyuan had already become Hua's disciple.

As the saying goes, "love me, love my dog," and since Old Master Hua treated Li Qingyuan with the same care and concern, she remembered this kindness in her heart.

Hearing of Elder Hua's terrible misfortune, Su Yaoyue could no longer remain silent. Without hesitation, she made a firm promise:

"Don't worry, once I return to the clan, I will immediately go into the clan storehouse and search every corner, leaving no stone unturned in my search for any potentially useful medicinal herbs. I will do everything I can to find the herbs that can save Elder Hua!"

As she spoke, she gently grasped Li Qingyuan's large hand, a hand that was warm and strong, as if she wanted to transfer all her strength to him.

She gently comforted her:

"Junior Uncle, don't worry too much."

"As the saying goes, there's always a way out. Old Hua did good deeds and accumulated virtue throughout his life. He was blessed with good fortune and a long life, and he was definitely not a short-lived person."

"Although we have suffered a calamity this time, we are sure that things will turn around and we will be safe from danger."

Li Qingyuan felt the warmth from the soft hand in his palm. That seemingly soft and boneless little hand seemed to contain endless strength, giving him great comfort.

He looked up and met Su Yaoyue's eyes, which were full of concern and worry. Her gaze was like the warm spring sun, gently shining into his heart.

......

Seeing this, Li Qingyuan gently stroked Su Yaoyue's soft hand, forcing a smile, and said:

"It's okay, I can feel that everything is moving in a positive direction."

"Hua Lao has experienced countless trials and tribulations in his life, and he will surely be safe and sound this time."

"Moreover, I firmly believe that after this ordeal, he will be reborn like a phoenix rising from the ashes and his cultivation will advance even further."

Su Yaoyue returned a bright smile, nodded gently, and said firmly:

"Yes, it will definitely happen. I believe that Hua Laoji will be blessed by Heaven."

"Ah~"

Just then, the old ox, who had been quietly standing by, could no longer bear the sweet atmosphere.

It shook its head and muttered a complaint:

"My goodness, they're so lovey-dovey! This young couple is all sweet and affectionate, and I, this old ox, am just getting in the way."

"Alright, alright, I'll head out now. I won't disturb your time together. You two can enjoy your time together."

After saying that, the old ox strode quickly to the door, slammed it shut, and left!

The movements were so swift, as if they were afraid that if they stayed even a second longer, they would be "overwhelmed" by this sweetness.

......

Seeing this, Li Qingyuan and Su Yaoyue smiled at each other, their smiles filled with happiness and sweetness.

In an instant, only the two of them remained in the private room, and a quiet atmosphere filled with a faint warmth.

At this moment, Su Yaoyue naturally leaned on Li Qingyuan's broad shoulder, as if it were her safest harbor.

Outside, she always appeared as aloof, elegant, and otherworldly fairy.

But now, standing beside Li Qingyuan, she shed all her pretenses and became gentle, graceful, and submissive.

Li Qingyuan caught a glimpse of her flawless face out of the corner of his eye; it was as white as jade and had a faint glow, as if it were a work of art carefully sculpted by God.

Further down, there was her exquisite figure, with beautiful curves that exuded a captivating charm.

At that moment, Li Qingyuan felt his heart race and could no longer control his love. He gently pressed his lips to Su Yaoyue's snow-white forehead.

Suddenly, time seemed to stand still, and the air suddenly became ambiguous, as if a passionate love was spreading and rising in the air.

Su Yaoyue closed her eyes slightly, a blush rising on her face, as beautiful and moving as the sunset.

She murmured:

"Junior Uncle, it's only been a little over a hundred days since we last met, but I've missed you so much. Every moment I long for the day we can reunite..."

------

Li Qingyuan gave a soft "hmm," her voice clear and bright, and slowly said:

"Yaoyao, I miss you so much too."

"On the way to Zhongzhou, your image was constantly on my mind, and I struggled countless times with the question of whether I should try to see you."

"But I was afraid you were in seclusion cultivating and didn't want to disturb you, so I've been holding back until now."

At this point, he changed the subject, his eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.

"By the way, I observe that your cultivation has already reached the Heavenly Gang Realm..."

"Your cultivation speed is even faster than mine. Could it be that your physique has truly awakened to its full potential?"

Upon hearing Li Qingyuan's words, Su Yaoyue, who had been leaning lazily on his shoulder, suddenly sat up straight.

She tilted her head slightly, her clear eyes sparkling with confidence, and said softly:

"Yes, my innate Holy Spirit Body was sealed away at birth because of its excessive energy."

"Over the past decade or so, it has been like a dormant treasure trove of energy, constantly accumulating terrifying power."

"During my months of seclusion, I only used up about 30% of the energy."

"I reckon that once I've completely used up this energy, I'll definitely be able to break through to the King Realm, and maybe even go further..."
