Chapter 39 You can only believe in yourself
He Qing can completely understand Lu Li’s dissatisfaction. For the sake of their agreement, Lu Li was swallowed by the monster without revealing his identity. On the contrary, her partner was really a mess. heap.
Lu Li, on the other hand, was a little startled. He had never seen He Qing show such a weak expression. Even if she suffered a natural disaster, she would still try hard to prevent anyone from noticing her discomfort.
But now, He Qing is too tired to even pretend.
Lu Li silently took hold of He Qing's pulse. After careful inspection, he realized that the miasma in He Qing's body was more serious than the situation he had just sensed through He Qing's aura.
"Ha." Lu Li chuckled expressionlessly: "Master is truly a bodhisattva-hearted person. To sacrifice himself to such an extent for his beloved disciple is truly breathtaking."
The yin and yang aura was still there, but he did not push He Qing away and let her lean on his shoulder.
He Qing closed his eyes and breathed for a long time, sighing: "I am also forced to have no choice."
Lu Li didn't believe this. He rolled his eyes and looked at the void in the room, and said calmly: "If that's the case, then our cooperation will have to stop here."
He Qing shook his head and said tiredly and resolutely: "No, we can't stop here, but we have to be more cautious. We must be sure of hitting the target before we take action. If not..." The voice stopped suddenly.
Lu Li raised his eyebrows slightly: "What if it's not the case?"
"..."
Frankly speaking, He Qing wanted to find someone to complain about this outrageous development and curse God together. Lu Li seems to be a good match. Like her, he is a standard three-no person, with no moral integrity, no bottom line, no principles, and even no respect for ghosts and gods.
However, He Qing still couldn't completely believe him.
Strictly speaking, you can't trust anyone.
If this matter were known to others, God knows, would it be used as a bargaining chip to threaten her?
The only one she can trust is herself.
He Qing suppressed the desire to talk under great pressure, exhaled a breath of filth, sat upright, and said in a leisurely manner: "If not, let him be on guard, and it will not be easy to succeed again."
Lu Li saw that He Qing was hiding something and felt her reluctance and resentment. Although he didn't know the details, he didn't expose it directly.
Lu Li said half-truthfully: "Master has his own plans, and disciples must obey orders. However, if Master trades his life for his life every time, I'm afraid Master will die young."
The same banter, but obviously much gentler than the previous moment.
However, He Qing took this joke very seriously. She said firmly: "No, I must live until the end."
"..." Lu Li looked at her steadily, as if there was an indescribable resonance in his heart, and his eyes moved slightly for a moment.
Do you want to believe her again...?

Gu Changnian was seriously injured this time. Even though He Qing had drawn out the miasma from his body in time, his cultivation level still retreated to the golden elixir stage, and the golden elixir was broken and needed Dao Yi to repair it.
He Qing, who heard the news, was lying on the bed suffering from the miasma in his body. He was sweating in pain and couldn't suppress the joy in his heart——
If Gu Changnian could lose her position every time she encountered such a big crisis, then she wouldn't mind doing it a few more times.
"Knock knock knock."
"Master." Yue Qingru knocked on the door and called, "Can I come in?"
"Enter."
Yue Qingru brought water in. As soon as she walked around the screen, she saw He Qing's sweaty face and hurried up to wipe her sweat.
"Master, you'd better go to Kaiyang Palace and let Immortal Chong Ying take a look at it for you. It's been three days." He Qing sat up, lifted the hair stuck to his neck, smiled weakly, and said with pain: " It’s okay, it’ll be fine in two days.”
Based on her current cultivation level, she has mastered techniques that have nothing to do with purification. It is really difficult to digest such a large dose of miasma all by herself.
But because she was contaminated with Lu Li's aura when she helped Lu Li draw out the miasma, if someone with the same level of cultivation directly comes into contact with the sea of consciousness, it is very likely that some demonic energy in that aura will be discovered.
He Qing asked: "How is it outside?"
Yue Qingru twisted the handkerchief over and replied: "Senior brother hasn't woken up yet. I heard Senior Sister Hua say that senior brother's golden elixir has been repaired, but his consciousness has not been restored. In the next two days, we will ask for an immortal." The master uses charms to supplement the treatment.”
"Yeah. What about that monster? No other traces were found?"
"No." Yue Qingru shook his head and said: "Immortal Master Xuanqing and Immortal Master Guanyue led people to check every corner of Lingshan, but no corpses of monsters were found, and no miasma appeared again. Immortal Master Daoyi said that he was sure The magic beast was hit, but Immortal Master Xuanqing is not worried and said that he will go to the other nine seals to check it himself and will set off today. "
He Qing fell into deep thought. The current development of the situation has completely exceeded the original plot development of the novel. It's a pity that she didn't finish the novel, so she couldn't determine whether the breaking of Wu Lingyuan's seal was part of the subsequent plot.
After coming back to his senses, He Qing asked again, "Where is Lu Li?"
Yue Qingru pursed his lips and said reluctantly: "He said he was going for a walk."
"walk?"
Lu Li, who was "taking a walk", came to the Tianmu Cave that was destroyed by thunder because of He Qing's tribulation. With the help of the remaining formation traces left by Xuan Qingzi and others, and with a little bit of luck, he opened a square-inch hole. enchantment.
He put his white hand into the barrier, turned his palm, and summoned a purple, palm-sized little beast.
The little beast rolled to the ground, making a roaring cry and beating the barrier as if it was dissatisfied.
Lu Li narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "You came to look for me without authorization, and you are still restless after being seriously injured. It seems that you really want to die."
Sensing Lu Li's murderous aura, the little beast immediately stopped and lay down on the ground.
Lu Li poked it with his finger, turned it over, smiled harmlessly and said, "If you don't want to suffer, just do it yourself."
The little beast howled in annoyance, and scratched Lu Li's fingers with its two little claws as if to vent its anger.
Lu Li smiled more gently and dug his fingers into the little beast's belly with a little force: "Then I will do it?"
"Ouch~"

That night, He Qing was lying on the bed, tossing and turning in pain. The miasma in his dantian was making a loud noise. Sometimes it was like a heat wave, and sometimes it was like being hit by pepper water. It was simply torture.
Amid He Qing's suppressed gasp, the door opened with a creak.
He Qing knew it was Lu Li without looking, so he quickly turned over and slept inside, not wanting him to see his useless look.
Lu Li's footsteps were light and he quickly arrived at the bedside. Hearing the sound of clothes being rubbed, Lu Li immediately sat on the bedside.
He said: "Stop pretending, Master, I know you are awake." He said in a casual tone with a little smile.
The pain was unbearable and he was irritable. He Qing could not help but grit his teeth and said angrily: "You came here in the middle of the night just to expose me and pretend to be asleep?"
