Chapter 157 Die, Yao Ji!
Yang Jianwu was a little petty and gave Puyang Xuan a thorough scolding from beginning to end!
"It's not a token of love, why are you taking it so seriously? What's there to complain about? It's something that could save your lives! Is being pretty more important, or being useful?! You can't tell right from wrong, you only care about appearance and not inner qualities. You're a person who judges people by their looks! You deserve to be in 'Lovers's Tears' class, you'll drown in a sweet trap sooner or later!"
Puyang Xuan's face turned bright red after being rebuked by Yang Jianwu...
"Sword dance... I'm not someone who judges people by appearances..."
"You're not just judging by appearances? Then why do you only see the ugliness of the medicine packet and not the preciousness of the herbs inside? Humph~~ Why bother talking to you so much? Just give the medicine packet back to me when we get back!"
"Sword Dance..."
"Let's get down to business first!"
"Oh……"
"Before we get down to business, let me answer your stupid question from earlier. If I had taken out the medicine packet sooner, we would be safe, but the Gu worms would have caught a whiff of it from afar and gone to inform their master! Think before you speak next time!"
"Okay, sword dance..."
Looking at Puyang Xuan like a child admitting his mistake, Mo Ye felt a touch of sympathy, but mostly a strange sense of satisfaction! It was both funny and cathartic!
Yang Jianwu stepped into the courtyard first, and the surrounding scenery immediately changed, as if time and space had been distorted...
"Little Wu'er!"
"Sword Dance!"
"Don't move! Don't listen to anyone!"
The three were separated in the illusion. Yang Jianwu looked around and began to break the formation. The person who set up the formation must have studied for a while. The formation inside the house was more complicated than the one in the alley. Fortunately, Hong Nan and Hong Bei were not allowed to come in. If they had come, it would have just added two more people to the illusion. If they could not resist the bewitching, they would have to keep sleeping. I wonder how Ah Xuan and Brother Ye are doing.
Mo Ye had just won a battle, and Emperor Dongli wanted to pass the throne to him, calling him up to receive the investiture. He ignored him, standing quietly in place, watching the scene unfold before him with amusement. Among the people in this world he could trust, Yang Jianwu was definitely one of them! In the Golden Palace, no matter how much Emperor Dongli raged, Mo Ye remained unmoved!
Puyangxuan, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. He vaguely returned to the night he was poisoned with "Lover's Tears"...
Under the elders' arrangement, he learned about matters between men and women. He wasn't particularly passionate, but Yao Ji knelt before him, tearfully recounting how the elders had pressured her to have children... Her heartfelt words moved him, and the two drank several more cups of wine, which contained a small amount of aphrodisiac. When their passion reached its peak, Yao Ji tried to feed him with her lips...
The scene of Yang Jianwu curing his poison in the mountains flashed through Pu Yangxuan's mind, and his eyes instantly regained their clarity. He pushed Yao Ji away with a palm!
Yao Ji fell to the ground in pain, and said in a coquettish voice, "Palace Master, how could you treat me like this?"
Puyang Xuan was now fully awake. Looking at Yao Ji, who was crying her eyes out, he felt no pity whatsoever. He thought of how the elders had arranged concubines for him when he was young and naive, causing him to lose the opportunity to pursue sword dance. Coupled with the "lover's tears" incident, hatred welled up in his heart. He stepped forward and grabbed Yao Ji by the neck. "You wretch! You and Elder Luo are birds of a feather! Didn't you want to kill me? Let's see who kills whom first! Die, Yao Ji!"
"Boom!" A deafening roar, and the formation shattered!
Yang Jianwu tossed the two Bewitching Gu from the array's core to Xiao Jin as food. Worried about Mo Ye and Puyang Xuan's safety, she turned back to look for them, just in time to hear Puyang Xuan calling out, "Yao Ji!"
Mo Ye hadn't been trapped in the illusion. He remained conscious the moment the formation shattered, and naturally heard Puyang Xuan's shouts. He couldn't quite fathom what state Puyang Xuan had entered, that he would harbor such hatred for a woman...
Puyang Xuan was momentarily dazed when the formation broke. Only after he saw his surroundings clearly did he realize that they were in the formation. He then carefully recalled the illusion he had just experienced. Oh right, he was furious and wanted to strangle Yao Ji!
The ice floes on the river broke apart from the inside out, and the destruction of the formation was the opposite of the ice breaking apart. When Yang Jianwu controlled the Gu worms, the formation gradually dissipated from the outside in.
That cry of "Go to hell, Yao Ji!" sounded full of hatred to Mo Ye and Pu Yangxuan, but when it reached Yang Jianwu, only the words "Yao Ji" remained. Her voice was loud but tinged with restraint. What kind of emotion could make someone shout this from the bottom of their heart? Perhaps it was love that was so intense it hurt so much?
In Yang Jianwu's view, Puyang Xuan's dazed state was also due to his inability to recover from the pain of losing Yao Ji!
Haha, men are all talk; words always sound better than deeds. He fawned over her all day, but now, in this illusion, he's thinking of his old flame. Wasn't Yao Ji supposed to have poisoned him? Is it because his love was so deep that his hatred is so intense? And now he's remembering her tenderness? It seems what's lost is always the best…
Even though I don't care, why do I still feel a little upset...?
Yang Jianwu glanced at Puyang Xuan indifferently, suppressing her unease, and finally said only, "Sorry, I ruined your good time!"
