Minglong

Chapter 146 The Dispersing of Yin and Yang!
stomping on...

Soon, footsteps echoed up the stairs to the second floor.

Nangong Ye walked unhurriedly to the table, removed his veil, revealing his strikingly icy face:
"Where did you learn your disguise skills? If you hadn't spoken up to remind me, I might not have noticed you as I passed by."

Although the words were a compliment, her almond-shaped eyes scrutinized his rugged and casual appearance, carrying a hint of... the feeling that an icy female CEO was being forced into a blind date with a blond-haired guy at a restaurant!

Xie Jinhuan didn't know if he had a peculiar fetish, but he found the look of disdain that he had to give in to quite interesting!
However, he clearly couldn't finish the job here, and said with a smile:
"I dressed up a little to avoid being noticed by anyone with ulterior motives. I received the items yesterday, thanks."

"You need to repay it as soon as possible, and the interest will be substantial, so there's no need to thank me."

When Nangong Ye saw Xie Jinhuan, the embarrassing incident from a few days ago inevitably came to mind, making his Dao heart unsettled. So he turned his gaze to the window:

“I scouted the area last night. Although I haven’t found any members of the Underworld Cult yet, the location of the operation should be the imperial mausoleum in the mountains. The person who is in charge of the blood sacrifice formation this time will be highly skilled. I have already contacted two righteous masters through my sect to help. You and I will patrol the town to avoid encountering a powerful enemy that we cannot handle.”

Xie Jinhuan, curious about how the giant ice block, covered in yang poison, would contend with the soon-to-be leader of the Underworld Cult, heard the voice and asked curiously:
"Who's coming?"

"It's still in hiding; you'll find out soon enough."

Nangong Ye then turned his gaze back and earnestly instructed:

"I know you hate evil, but you should also act within your capabilities. Follow my instructions on this mission and don't rush in impulsively."

Xie Jinhuan was more prudent than anyone else; his offerings to fellow Daoists everywhere were merely for the purpose of confiscating illegal gains. Upon hearing this, he nodded and asked with concern:

"How is the condition of the Yang poison in Lady Mu's body? Do you need me to let you suck... in some icy energy?"

?

Nangong Ye felt that Xie Jinhuan's choice of words was apt yet extremely offensive, and calmly said:
"There is no immediate danger, but with each move, more Yang poison will invade your Qi channels, and another move could be fatal. So remember to act cautiously this time and do not act impulsively."

Xie Jinhuan came prepared this time, taking out a cloth bag from his waist and pulling out a small bottle:
"I consulted a master and prepared a medicine for you. It can temporarily suppress the poison when it takes effect, but it will deplete your internal energy, making it difficult to exert your full strength. Why don't you give it a try?"

Nangong Ye looked slightly surprised, reached out and picked up the small bottle, which was labeled with the words "Yin Yang Wei Qi Powder"!
In the entire alchemy world of the Great Qian Dynasty, no one but 'Poison Hand Medicine Girl' could come up with such a bizarre and unconventional name.

Thinking of the unbearable past of her acquaintances, such as Old Man Li and Big Fool Zhang, her brows furrowed slightly.
Are you sure this won't cause any problems?

Xie Jinhuan is unsure!

After all, "in adversity, look to ghosts; in desperate situations, look to perilla!"
If perilla can suppress toxicity, then it absolutely can.

But what the side effects might be, no one can predict!
It's not like people blindly take perilla leaves as medicine in a desperate situation. 'Big Woman Ink' is a living example, and before that, there were Crazy Huan, Swelling Li, Hiccuping Zhang...

Xie Jinhuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm here right now, why don't you try some first? If it works, we can increase the dosage; if it doesn't, then forget it."

Nangong Ye did need a way to temporarily suppress the Yang poison so that he could take action. He thought for a moment, then took a water glass, poured a little bit of the powder from the small bottle, and prepared to drink it all.

Upon seeing this, Xie Jinhuan quickly raised his hand:
"How about we eat in the room? I can help you suppress any problems. But if you're doing that to me in public, it's a bit..."

"?"

Seeing Xie Jinhuan's appearance, Nangong Ye even worried that it was a powerful aphrodisiac that had been taken and walked ahead of Qingmo.

But Xie Jinhuan obviously wouldn't do that. After thinking about it, she picked up her water glass and got up to go to the second floor of the inn. As Xie Jinhuan opened the door, she found that this kid was really well prepared.

The inn's windows were tightly closed. Behind the screen, a bathtub filled with clean water sat, and next to it were two other buckets of water, presumably for her to bathe and cool down...

There was a change of clothes on the table, perhaps in case she tore them again and had nothing to wear...

?

Seeing this setup, Nangong Ye hesitated to enter the house, his eyes turning slightly cold as he asked:

Are you sure there won't be any problems with this medicine?

Xie Jinhuan closed the door: "I'm not sure, it's better to be safe than sorry. Should I blindfold myself first?"

Why don't you just go out?

Nangong Ye wanted Xie Jinhuan to leave for the time being, but if something really happened from drinking, he would still have to come back in. After thinking about it, he decided to drink the water in one gulp.

Glug~ Glug...

Her fair throat swelled slightly, and a drop of crystal-clear liquid slid down her lips, landing on her high-necked clothes.

Xie Jinhuan had no time to pay attention to these details. He took three steps back and scrutinized her warily.
"How does it feel?"

Nangong Ye put down the water glass and looked into his internal energy center. He quickly discovered that the medicine he had poured into his throat had a violent reaction after entering his abdomen. The sensation of alternating hot and cold spread from his chest and abdomen and quickly spread throughout his body.

Nangong Ye's own Qi is pure Yang, and there is no Yin or cold Qi present.

But at this moment, it is clear that some of the Qi has been transformed into Yin under the influence of the medicine, and then swallowed up and annihilated by the Yang poison...

If others consume it, it becomes a strange poison that diminishes one's power and disrupts one's energy channels.

But for her, it had a completely positive effect; the toxicity was reduced by 30% almost instantly, and she suppressed the yang poison on her own without needing to control it.

There really are no downsides?!

Thinking of this, Nangong Ye couldn't help but admire the young medicine girl, even feeling that he had found the secret method to outlast the witch of the witch cult. A surge of joy welled up in his heart as he looked at Xie Jinhuan:

"You...cough cough...this~..."

The originally aloof and ethereal mature woman's voice has become very soft and girly, with a cutesy, high-pitched tone, the kind that would cry at the sight of a tiny insect...

(⊙_⊙)？ ？ ？

The room fell silent!
My mom...

Xie Jinhuan straightened up a bit, feeling that A Su's reputation was well-deserved. Suppressing a twitch at the corner of her mouth, she comforted him:

"Hmm... this isn't exactly a negative effect, is it? There are no other consequences, right?"

Nangong Ye's aura remained icy and unyielding, but his eyes were noticeably wider, and a faint blush appeared on his cheeks, making him look like a pure white lotus flower tinged with girlish pink. He thought to himself:

This isn't a big impact? Am I speaking in plain language right now?

Even the most seductive vixen in witchcraft couldn't produce such an cloyingly sweet tone...

Although he was very annoyed, Nangong Ye held back for a long time and still chose to be the 'mute bride' and sat down at the table.

Xie Jinhuan was about to break down, but she managed to suppress her smile with great willpower and sat down in front of him:
"Are we going to go out later?"

"?"

Can't you ask about what will happen later?
Nangong Ye took a deep breath, hesitated, and picked up the cup to pour tea.

Tsk tsk, you're too scared to speak, huh?
Xie Jinhuan, always eager for a good show and unafraid of death, pried open the big, icy red lips of the woman, letting out a sweet, melodious whisper, and said:

"I didn't really look closely at your place last time..."

Snapped--

Nangong Ye lightly tapped the table, his icy eyes glaring at Xie Jinhuan. He wanted to remind him to "keep his mouth shut," but he was forced to keep his mouth shut and dared not speak.

Xie Jinhuan raised her hand: "Don't get angry, lest the yang poison flare up and you suck me again. Hmm... I'm just afraid you'll take it to heart and find it hard to let go. After all, a woman's reputation is paramount, and after something like that happened..."

"Thank you, Jin Huan~"

Unable to contain himself any longer, Nangong Ye blurted out a scolding remark in a coquettish manner, then quickly shut his mouth, his face turning uncontrollably red!

"Haha~..."

Xie Jinhuan covered his mouth tightly, his veins bulging, and his shoulders shaking violently.

You still dare to laugh?!
Nangong Ye was no fool. Seeing that this kid dared to provoke him, his eyes flashed with murderous intent. He took the teacup, poured water into it, added a pinch of medicinal powder, and then stood up with the cup in his hand!
Xie Jinhuan's expression changed drastically, and he raised his hand:

"Eh?! I'm not laughing anymore, I'm shutting up...uh~"

Nangong Ye was so angry that he was dizzy and no longer cared about the separation between men and women. He grabbed Xie Jinhuan's head from behind with one arm and locked it in place. He then held up the cup and said, "Brother, drink your medicine!"
Xie Jinhuan leaned against the undulating body, her head sinking into the soft flesh. She tried to twist and dodge, but the ice block was truly naked-naked, and after two chokes, her eyes almost rolled back. She could only open her mouth:

"Tons, tons, tons~"

Without saying a word, Nangong Ye put his arm around Xie Jinhuan's neck, fed him all the water, and then covered his mouth with his hand to prevent him from spitting it out. Only after Xie Jinhuan had swallowed it completely did he release his hand.
"Humph~"

Her soft, humming voice sounded almost like she was being coquettish!

"Haha~ cough..."

Xie Jinhuan chuckled twice, but the laughter vanished instantly. He adopted a cold and aloof demeanor and stared at Bing Tuozi.

(→→)(⊙_⊙)
Nangong Ye sat down with one hand resting on the table, his gaze intense and his aura imposing, the meaning of which was probably:

Go on?

Why are you mute?
Xie Jinhuan was indeed silenced by the 'Yin Yang Wei Qi Powder', but how could he admit defeat?

After a moment's hesitation, he took the bowl, poured himself a glass of water, and then secretly took out the medicine bottle, poured some powder into it, and quickly put it in his mouth!
?

Who is Nangong Ye? Upon discovering that Xie Jinhuan dared to steal the antidote, he immediately snatched the bowl of water and drank it all in one gulp.

Tons tons tons~
By the time Xie Jinhuan remembered that he had used it on his lips, it was already all gone!
Xie Jinhuan raised his hand, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

slap~
Nangong Ye put down his water glass, giving Xie Jinhuan a cold glance, his gaze initially carrying a hint of provocation:

Did you get robbed?

Is this okay, Greyhound...?

But soon he found that his annoyance gradually subsided, and a feeling of happiness welled up in his heart.

Then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, slowly revealing a bright smile that showed eight teeth.

A smile can stir up a spring breeze, and a hundred beauties will bloom in the room!

"Hahahaha~..."

Xie Jinhuan pinched his thigh hard, laughing so hard he couldn't straighten up. He then noticed the murderous glint in the eyes of the smiling beauty before him and quickly tried to explain in a high-pitched voice:

"I just wanted to drink some 'Laughing Powder' to make you happy, why are you taking it from me... Hey~?"

Before the annoying words of the clamp had even faded, the beautiful woman in the black dress, now transformed into 'Big Fool Ye,' pounced on Xie Jinhuan like a female leopard, pounding and groping him for the antidote while simultaneously pouring Laughing Powder into his mouth...

crackling and popping...

"Wait a moment, heroine!"

"Keep laughing~ Hmph~..."

……

Meanwhile, downstairs.

The innkeeper, holding the ledger, glanced up at the second floor, listened for a moment, and then frowned.

What the hell is that noise?

"Young people these days, they start doing it in broad daylight...sigh..."
