Chapter 85: Not a Fool
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Qing looked at the corpses on the ground with a cold gaze. It was useless even if they stopped breathing. This poison would still spread through their skin. Whoever appraoched would definitely die.
This was Ying Zhiyao’s poison technique. Xu Qing had studied her poison for a long time and made a few for life-saving purposes. She didn’t expect to use them so quickly.
This was the first time Xu Qing had killed someone, but it was also the time she felt the least regretful.
At this moment, Qiao Yanhui had fainted from excessive blood loss. Xu Qing wanted to carry him away, but she couldn’t. It was unknown if it was because she was too frightened or if she really didn’t have the strength.
“Sister!” A familiar voice sounded. Xu Sizhi appeared. When he saw the corpses on the ground, he was vexed. He should have rushed over earlier.
“Hurry up and bring Little Hui back,” Xu Qin said in a low voice.
Xu Sizhi hurriedly carried Qiao Yanhui back. Xu Qing looked at the corpses on the ground and fell silent for a moment. She took out a bag of Corpse Dissolving Powder and melted those corpses into blood water that fused with the ground.
Since the other party dared to send assassins, she naturally had to give him a “gift in return!” Xu Qing believed that the other party would be more afraid of her after receiving this “gift”. After all, this group of assassins was nowhere to be seen now. Needless to say, the other party would be terrified.
Qiao Yanhui lay on the bed with his eyes closed and his face pale. Xu Qing’s heart ached when she saw him. The first time she saw him, his face was also pale. This time, his injuries had drawn out the poison in his body and he had a fever.
Xu Qing didn’t sleep the entire night. She was worried that if she relaxed even a little, Qiao Yanhui might die. She also wanted to help him cure the poison, but there were several rare herbs that she couldn’t find. She could only suppress it.
The next day, when Qiao Yanhui woke up, Xu Qing had just fallen asleep. He opened his eyes and looked at Xu Qing, who was kneeling beside him. He touched her face with heartache and then gently carried Xu Qing back to the bed, not caring if the wound on his back would open.
At this moment, Qiao Yanhui’s gaze was deep and there was no silliness in them at all. After what had happened yesterday, he had recovered his memories a little. Although he hadn’t completely recovered his memories, at least he wasn’t a fool anymore. He looked at the woman in front of him and sighed. He kissed her forehead gently with affection in his eyes.
“Mmm…” Xu Qing turned around and moved.
“Honey.” Qiao Yanhui’s gaze became dazed again, but he couldn’t hide the soulfulness in his eyes.
“Little Hui, you’re awake!” Xu Qing said in surprise. Qiao Yanhui had a fever last night and was spouting nonsense. She was extremely anxious, but from the looks of it, he should be fine. However, she stood up and looked around. “Why am I on the bed?”
“Wife, I want a kiss.” Qiao Yanhui didn’t answer her. Instead, he leaned in front of her and asked for a kiss.
Xu Qing was stunned. Oh no. After the battle yesterday, could this fool have become even more stupid?
“You said yesterday that you would kiss me when we get back.” Qiao Yanhui lowered his head, feeling very aggrieved.
Xu Qing recalled what happened yesterday and was tongue-tied. “I… I didn’t say so.”
“Hmph! You didn’t keep your word, so I’ll get it myself!” As he spoke, Qiao Yanhui pressed Xu Qing onto the bed. Their lips touched. He was domineering and gentle. Taking advantage of Xu Qing’s shock, he found an opportunity to slide his tongue into her mouth…
Xu Qing felt dizzy from the kiss and her body went limp. She couldn’t help but let out an erotic moan! This shocked Xu Qing and she pushed Qiao Yanhui away with a blush.
Qiao Yanhui looked tantalized and wanted to continue, but his tone was coquettish and aggrieved. “Why did you push me?”
“Do you know what we were doing just now?” Xu Qing asked in a low voice.
“Of course it’s a husband kissing his wife, just like how Father and Mother do so.” Qiao Yanhui looked at Xu Qing, who was about to bury her head in his arms, and smiled dotingly.
Xu Qing was stunned when she heard Qiao Yanhui’s words! Did her parents not close the door when they were intimate?
“Ahem! Little Hui, we’re not married yet. We can’t kiss like this.” Xu Qing felt that she was being a little prudish after she finished speaking, but she still felt awkward when facing Qiao Yanhui.
“You said you would kiss me.” Qiao Yanhui was still aggrieved.
“But I didn’t say we would kiss each other like that!” Xu Qing’s face flushed.
As he looked at the embarrassed Xu Qing, the love in Qiao Yanhui’s eyes deepened. His wife was so cute.
