Remembering Shen Qing's entrustment, Xian Shiyu pretended to suddenly think of something and said in a panicked manner, "Oh, I came to tell you that the sect master's condition has worsened a bit. The elders asked you to go there."
Hearing that True Lord Kunshan was seriously ill, True Lord Huxiao didn't care about Chu Lanqiu anymore. He immediately rushed towards True Lord Kunshan's cave abode.
"You child, I'm really convinced. Why couldn't you say such an important thing earlier?!" True Lord Huxiao stretched out his fist and gently tapped Xian Shiyu on the head, shouting angrily.
After saying that, he transformed into a tiger form and galloped away.
Xian Shiyu covered her head, grimacing in pain.
After eating the bunch of candied haws with tears in her eyes, Xian Shiyu suddenly rammed into Chu Lanqiu's barrier, then closed her eyes and was bounced away at ease.
When she landed, she even forced out a mouthful of blood and cried out painfully, "Ah!!! Senior Sister... kill me!!"
The next moment, a figure flashed out of Chu Lanqiu's room and caught Xian Shiyu, who was almost howling herself hoarse.
"Junior Sister?!"
Xian Shiyu tightly grabbed Chu Lanqiu's sleeve and held on to her last breath, "Tuanyuan is in danger. Go and save... save... uh, I'm fainting."
Halfway through her words, Xian Shiyu happily closed her eyes in Chu Lanqiu's arms... and fell asleep.
Chu Lanqiu let out a scream and picked up Xian Shiyu and ran.
"Junior Sister, don't die. I'll go find someone to save you now!!"
It was completely silent...
Fei Fei was dressed in black and standing in front of the empty room. His outfit was extremely eye - catching in broad daylight.
He awkwardly cast a spell to change his black clothes and watched the others leave in confusion.
He originally thought he would have to lurk here for several days, so he put on dark - colored clothes. He was even thinking about whether to create some commotion at night to force Chu Lanqiu out.
But he didn't expect things to go so smoothly...
True Lord Huxiao was really consistent. Both the master and the disciple were so mysterious.
Fei Fei took out the demonic egg that Li Ji gave him. After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously walked into Chu Lanqiu's room.
If it were someone else, they would surely think this was a trap, but now the one who was about to do something bad was Fei Fei.
He had lurked here several times and finally got this chance, so he naturally didn't want to give it up.
Moreover, after he nourished his egg for two days, the cracks on it were getting more and more, and finally it broke.
In his anxiety, he only thought that the little spiritual beast inside was grayish - white because the eggshell had cracked. Coupled with his evil plans, he didn't have the mood to carefully examine the little spiritual beast.
If he had examined it carefully, he would have found that the little spiritual beast was congenitally deficient and could not be hatched at all.
To prevent there being an image stone in Chu Lanqiu's room, he had brought a barrier stone with him in advance to block the effect.
Chu Lanqiu had left in a hurry and didn't have time to put the egg away properly.
Fei Fei saw that the color of Chu Lanqiu's egg, which had been nourished by her, was just right, and there was also a formation carefully arranged by Chu Lanqiu around it to hatch the spiritual beast.
A trace of jealousy flashed in his long and narrow eyes. He quickly snatched Chu Lanqiu's egg and took it for himself.
Then, he replaced it with the demonic egg in his hand.
The size and color of the demonic egg were quite similar to those of the spiritual beast egg, and the demonic energy on it had also been carefully removed by Fei Fei.
He believed that Chu Lanqiu would definitely not be able to tell the difference.
After doing all this, Fei Fei tiptoed away.
But he didn't expect that in the grass nearby, Qi Nian, Hong Chaoyang, He Xianyin and He Zhaoxue were all crouching there, staring closely at Fei Fei.
Hong Chaoyang was excited. After Fei Fei left, she made some gestures to He Xianyin and He Zhaoxue.
Hong Chaoyang: The egg has been successfully replaced. You two, go and follow Fei Fei!
He Xianyin:?
He Zhaoxue nodded seriously: Okay, but why is it us?
Qi Nian:?
Hong Chaoyang: Because the two of us can't hide our auras!
He Zhaoxue: Alright, alright!
Qi Nian and He Xianyin stared blankly at the two of them making gestures quickly, not knowing what was going on.
The hand - gestures of Hong Chaoyang and He Zhaoxue were so fast that there were after - images.
Finally, just as He Xianyin was about to explode, He Zhaoxue reluctantly pulled He Xianyin away.
Hong Chaoyang and Qi Nian then returned to Shen Qing's room.
At this time, Xian Shiyu had already woken up. She was happily eating the candied haws, and even the bloodstains remaining at the corner of her mouth hadn't been wiped clean.
Shen Qing and Chu Lanqiu were sitting calmly on the small couch, sipping tea. It was a peaceful scene.
"Ah! Leave some candied haws for me!"
Seeing that there were only a few candied haws left, Hong Chaoyang immediately pounced on them and rolled around with Xian Shiyu.
"I just spat out blood. I need to replenish my energy!" Xian Shiyu protected the food and dodged Hong Chaoyang's outstretched hand.
"Who said eating candied haws can replenish energy? Give them to me!!"
Li Xian glared angrily at the two who were grabbing the candied haws. Clearly, all those candied haws were made by him for Shen Qing. Now, Shen Qing hadn't even eaten one, but they were eaten by these two gluttonous monkeys.
"Did it succeed?" Chu Lanqiu was a bit nervous. This was the first time she had done such a thing, and she didn't know if she had acted well just now.
Qi Nian replied helplessly, "Fei Fei believed it. The egg has been swapped. The two fellow daoists from Qingyin Valley have also gone to keep an eye on Fei Fei as planned."
Shen Qing nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad."
Then she looked at Chu Lanqiu, "It's also fortunate that you trusted us and were willing to let us do these things in your sect."
They were not from the Beast - Taming Sect, so it was inconvenient for them to do much. But with the people from the Main God's Temple around, Shen Qing was really worried.
Therefore, she could only force Fei Fei to act as soon as possible.
If Shen Qing did nothing, she was afraid that the outcome would be the same as in her previous life, which was not what Shen Qing wanted to see.
So, she could only tell Chu Lanqiu everything. She originally thought it would take a lot of effort to convince her, but unexpectedly, she agreed to cooperate right away.
Chu Lanqiu smiled, "You came to me with the image stone and even endured soul - searching in front of me. How could I not believe you?"
The memory of soul - searching couldn't be faked. Since Shen Qing could endure soul - searching, it proved that what she said was true.
If it was true, it meant that True Lord Kunshan could still be saved.
As long as... they found a way to find the antidote.
"Wolf, it's your turn to appear now."
Wolf walked over holding Tuanyuan in his arms, his eyes looking gloomy.
"Is it true that you said you have a way to restore the demonic beast in that demonic egg to normal?"
Shen Qing thought that since everything was related to the Demon Realm, the medicine that the Main God's Temple used on True Lord Kunshan must also be something from the Demon Realm.
Wolf said he had a way to restore the demonic beast to normal. Maybe Wolf also had a way to solve the medicine that True Lord Kunshan had taken.
No matter what the method was, Shen Qing was going to give it a try.
"I need to see the demonic egg."
He wanted to use the inheritance of the Dragon Clan to restore the demonized egg to a normal spiritual beast.
Although he didn't know if it would succeed, in the secret realm he created, the demonic beasts could be restored to normal.
He originally thought it was because of Luo Ling, but now he thought that it should be because he had used the inheritance of the Dragon Clan to create the secret realm, which had purified those demonic beasts.
