Chapter 418 A Thief's Heart Remains Undiminished, Like a Gentle Spring Breeze and Rain

In Gu Shaoan's perception, Qin Mengyao was clearly carrying some special medicinal scent, but the scent was very faint.

"Yinhe flower saliva, Yanglongli grass, Wugu vine, Luoyangzi"

There are many kinds of poisons in the world, and from time to time, experts in the use of poisons will develop new poisons.

Even with Gu Shaoan's master-level medical skills, it's impossible for him to know the names of all poisons by heart.

It was only because of his master-level medical skills that Gu Shaoan could come up with an antidote as soon as he identified these poisons.

After identifying the smells of these medicines by their scent, Gu Shaoan frowned slightly.

His gaze involuntarily swept over Tian Zhongxing in the corner again.

"Where did this guy get all these rare poisons?"

Based on what Gu Shaoan discerned from the scent, Qin Mengyao was indeed carrying a drug used by a womanizer.

However, the ingredients of these drugs are extremely rare.

Furthermore, among the forty-nine kinds of medicines, more than twenty of them have unique medicinal properties. They complement each other and have the effect of increasing and purifying one's power.

However, for these medicines to be effective, they need to be obtained through the practice of yin-yang tonification.

It can be said that when combined with certain methods of replenishing vital energy in the martial arts world, it can definitely greatly enhance a martial artist's skill.

Furthermore, half of these forty-nine types of medicine were not even available to Gu Shaoan.

Let alone ordinary people, even some skilled doctors would find it difficult to recognize even half of these medicines if they were placed in front of them.

This also made Gu Shaoan curious: where did a flower thief with no background get so many rare medicines and know how to use them?

Immediately, Gu Shaoan shifted his gaze to Qin Mengyao in front of Huang Xuemei.

With just one glance, Gu Shaoan could tell that Qin Mengyao was faking her fainting.

Realizing that Qin Mengyao had not fainted, Gu Shaoan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, thinking of Tian Zhongxing in the corner, Gu Shaoan's mind raced, and the words "bitter trick" immediately popped into his head.

Now, Gu Shaoan knew perfectly well that despite his previous warning, Qin Mengyao was still determined to take advantage of him.

However, just as Gu Shaoan's mind was racing and he had already discerned the medicine mixed in with Qin Mengyao's scent, a sudden burning sensation surged from Gu Shaoan's dantian.

Gu Shaoan's face flushed red instantly.

"wrong."

Realizing that something was wrong with his condition, Gu Shaoan's expression changed drastically, but he did not take any antidote.

The reason is that the medicine Qin Mengyao was carrying at that moment was not, in fact, poison.

It's a tonic.

The antidote pills on Gu Shaoan's body were naturally ineffective.

However, Gu Shaoan himself did not use his internal energy to suppress the drugs in his body.

Gu Shaoan knew that some of these drugs had unique medicinal properties.

Whether it's a martial artist's internal energy, true qi, or qi essence, it all has the effect of adding fuel to the fire for these medicines.

Therefore, Gu Shaoan quickly raised his hand and tapped himself several times before reaching into his robes.

With a thought, the fragment of the He Shi Bi jade from the system's backpack immediately fell into Gu Shaoan's hands.

The He Shi Bi is made of a special material. Gu Shaoan had previously tried it. When the Gang Yuan directly enters the He Shi Bi, it will replenish the Gang Yuan in his body with more energy.

These energies can not only detoxify, but also have the effect of awakening and calming the mind.

Once the effects of the medicine have subsided, Gu Shaoan will be able to eliminate its effects in his body with other medications.

However, Gu Shaoan had the He Shi Bi jade to help suppress the discomfort caused by the drugs in his body, but now Gu Shaoan was not the only one affected.

Just by sniffing the scent from a distance of two zhang, Gu Shaoan could feel the heat brought by the medicinal power. How much more so for Huang Xuemei, who was in close contact with Qin Mengyao and had now injected her own internal energy into Qin Mengyao's body.

As the vital energy was injected into Qin Mengyao's body, the medicinal power that was already in Qin Mengyao's body began to flow into Huang Xuemei's body along with the vital energy.

At this moment, Huang Xuemei suddenly felt her body getting hotter and hotter.

Sensing something was wrong, Huang Xuemei immediately released her hand from Qin Mengyao's support, and also withdrew the internal energy that had been injected into Qin Mengyao's body.

But it would have been fine if they hadn't stopped.

As the vital energy that had entered Qin Mengyao's body returned to her own, Huang Xuemei suddenly felt as if her entire body was on fire.

Huang Xuemei was greatly alarmed. Her martial arts instincts made her immediately mobilize all the internal energy in her body to try to suppress the discomfort.

The moment that nearly two hundred years of immense power circulated within her body, the medicinal effects within her body were instantly amplified dozens of times.

Huang Xuemei's body trembled, and her consciousness was instantly overwhelmed by the medicinal power within her body.

Then, Huang Xuemei's clearly dazed gaze fell on Gu Shaoan, who was standing still to the side.

Gu Shaoan looked at Huang Xuemei, whose face was flushed, as she walked towards him step by step, and he knew exactly what was going on.

After cursing inwardly, Gu Shaoan took a deep breath, plunged the Yitian Sword into the ground, and raised his other hand to point at Huang Xuemei, preparing to use the energy of the He Shi Bi to stabilize Huang Xuemei's mind.

At this moment, Gu Shaoan was simultaneously injecting his vital energy into the fragments of the He Shi Bi jade while also suppressing his own desires, thus putting himself in a state of multitasking.

Now he needed to spare some attention, so his movements were not as agile and swift as before. He even paused for a moment just before his fingers were about to land on Huang Xuemei.

In that brief pause, Huang Xuemei, whose consciousness was still hazy, seized the opportunity to grab Gu Shaoan's hand and then pulled it to her face.

The smooth skin traveled down his hand, and at that moment, Gu Shaoan, who was also very angry, immediately broke out in goosebumps.

"Miss Huang."

Suppressing his discomfort, Gu Shaoan called out in a low voice.

But once the words were spoken, they had no effect whatsoever.

The next moment, Huang Xuemei moved closer to Gu Shaoan again.

In response, Gu Shaoan had no choice but to use his internal energy to blast Huang Xuemei away.

The moment his inner energy began to circulate, the intense heat that had just subsided due to the He Shi Bi jade suddenly surged forth from his body.

Before Gu Shaoan could suppress it again, he felt a soft body enter his arms.

It should be noted that Gu Shaoan himself cultivates the "Emei Nine Yang Manual," which combines the "Wudang Nine Yang Skill" and the "Emei Nine Yang Skill."

It is only by combining the strengths of both schools that the "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture" achieves a balance of Yin and Yang, and a combination of strength and gentleness.

Even after the system integration, Gu Shaoan's cultivation technique still carried the words "Nine Yang".

At this moment, under the influence of these medicinal effects, the characteristics of "Nine Yang" in Gu Shaoan's body were fully activated.

The anger came on fiercely.

Then, Gu Shaoan felt a cool and soft touch on his neck.

Beset by internal and external troubles, Gu Shaoan's own consciousness is also rapidly disintegrating.

Sensing that the situation was getting out of control, Gu Shaoan gritted his teeth, a chilling look flashing in his eyes.

Immediately, the sword pellet within his body trembled slightly, and several sword energies instantly pierced through Qin Mengyao's brow and chest. He then forced himself to maintain his last shred of clarity, pulled the Heaven-Slaying Sword from the ground, and then carried Huang Xuemei, who was almost glued to him, into the house.

As the lights went out, the house felt like springtime in the gentle winter night, with spring breezes and flowing streams. The next day.

As dawn broke, Gu Shaoan woke up and opened his eyes to look at Huang Xuemei lying beside him, who exuded a quiet and serene aura amidst her cool demeanor. Thinking back to his actions the previous night, Gu Shaoan suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Good news: Gu Shaoan didn't fall into the trap Qin Mengyao set.

Bad news, Huang Xuemei has been dragged into this mess.

For a moment, Gu Shaoan's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

There was joy, trepidation, and a touch of guilt.

After all, Qin Mengyao's plan yesterday was entirely aimed at Gu Shaoan.

Huang Xuemei was completely implicated for no reason and ended up giving herself to Gu Shaoan.

After a long pause, Gu Shaoan shook his head and then focused his attention on his own body.

However, just as Gu Shaoan's internal energy was circulating, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Gu Shaoan could clearly feel that his own skill had increased dramatically to 150 years.

"This skill?"

But the next second, after carefully sensing it, Gu Shaoan was shocked to find that his internal energy had become slightly mottled.

With a thought running through his mind, Gu Shaoan immediately understood where his fifty years of increased internal energy came from.

It was clear that he had absorbed some of Huang Xuemei's power.

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoan turned his head, and when his gaze fell on Huang Xuemei again, he felt even more guilty.

Looking at Huang Xuemei's trembling eyelashes as she closed her eyes, Gu Shaoan knew perfectly well that Huang Xuemei had already woken up.

After a moment's hesitation, Gu Shaoan lifted the covers.

After glancing at the clothes that had been shattered last night, Gu Shaoan could only take out a set of clean black clothes and put them on. Then he went to Huang Xuemei's room and took a set of clothes from Huang Xuemei's bundle and placed them on the bedside table.

"I'll go and deal with the two corpses in the yard first."

After saying that, Gu Shaoan opened the door and went out.

With the corpse-dissolving liquid available, disposing of Qin Mengyao and Tian Zhongxing's bodies was naturally simple.

The body was dissolved in a dissolving solution, and then the clothes were destroyed as well.

After Gu Shaoan activated his internal energy to disperse the residual aura of the corpse-dissolving water, Huang Xuemei, dressed neatly, also came out of the room.

After a moment, the two sat down at the stone table in the courtyard and remained silent.

After a moment, Gu Shaoan spoke up, "Do you have any other matters to attend to in Dongyang Prefecture?"

When asked by Gu Shaoan, Huang Xuemei replied truthfully, "It's just about my younger brother right now."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoan said, "After you've settled your affairs, come back to Emei with me to see my master, my uncle, my senior sister, and my junior sister Yan'er, okay?"

Upon hearing Gu Shaoan's words, Huang Xuemei's eyes flashed, and then a smile curved her lips.

Aren't you worried they'll get angry?

Gu Shaoan shook his head and said, "I'm not a heartless person. What's done is done, and no matter what, I will take responsibility for you."

In response, Huang Xuemei said calmly, "If it's just about taking responsibility, you don't need to make things so difficult for me. I owe you a favor before, so I'll repay it this time."

Gu Shaoan said irritably, "Where is the way to repay favors? Don't talk nonsense, it's settled then."

Who wouldn't be tempted by a woman as outstanding as Huang Xuemei after spending a long time with her?
It was merely an expression of emotion that was restrained by propriety.

Gu Shaoan is already married and is not a promiscuous person.

Therefore, many things are left unsaid.

Now that the die is cast, Gu Shaoan will naturally open his heart to Huang Xuemei.

Treat Huang Xuemei the same way you would treat Yang Yan and Zhou Zhiruo.

Faced with Gu Shaoan's sudden display of assertiveness, Huang Xuemei did not feel offended; instead, she relaxed.

While circulating his internal energy to soothe the discomfort he felt after yesterday's passionate encounter, he asked, "Why did Qin Mengyao do this?"

Huang Xuemei was exceptionally intelligent, and the hardships she endured in her childhood gave her a wealth of life experiences.

I didn't notice anything wrong at first yesterday, but now that I think about it, how could I not guess that what happened last night was a trap set by Qin Mengyao?

Gu Shaoan didn't hide anything and told Huang Xuemei about the situation at Cihang Jingzhai and the matter of the protectors of the path of love.

"So, Cihang Jingzhai wants to control you through Qin Mengyao?"

Gu Shaoan nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

After understanding the cause, Huang Xuemei said, "She went to great lengths, but unfortunately I ruined her plans."

Gu Shaoan sighed inwardly.

In fact, it wasn't Huang Xuemei who ruined Qin Mengyao's plans.

If it weren't for Huang Xuemei, Gu Shaoan would have killed Qin Mengyao last night after realizing she was the one who set up the scheme. He could have then used the He Shi Bi jade and the medicines he carried with him to resolve his own problems.

But Huang Xuemei is different.

Huang Xuemei was implicated by Qin Mengyao and fell into her trap, so Gu Shaoan naturally wouldn't take action against her.

Then came what happened next.

However, Gu Shaoan did not mention any of this.

Then, Gu Shaoan changed the subject, saying, "Compared to these, the internal energy within you is the real problem."

Huang Xuemei remained unfazed by what Gu Shaoan said.

Her current level of skill is largely due to Gu Shaoan's assistance.

Even if Gu Shaoan absorbed another hundred years of her power, let alone fifty years of it, Huang Xuemei wouldn't care too much.

"Will my skills have any impact on you?"

Gu Shaoan said, "Because of the medication from yesterday, there was some impact, but it wasn't significant."

Huang Xuemei practices the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill," and her skill level is completely different from Gu Shaoan's.

If it were any other day, even if Gu Shaoan wanted to refine the fifty years of Huang Xuemei's internal energy, it would take him at least several years.

However, due to the effects of the medications taken yesterday, Huang Xuemei's internal energy had been purified before entering Gu Shaoan's body.

In addition, Gu Shaoan himself is also highly skilled, and in a maximum of half a year, he will be able to transform all the skills belonging to the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" in his body into the "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture".

Huang Xuemei asked, "What kind of medicine did Qin Mengyao have yesterday that could make us... and then my power suddenly flowed into your body?"

After swallowing a few times, Huang Xuemei ultimately did not say the words "share a room" directly.

Gu Shaoan explained, "Those medicines are special; they must be used in conjunction with some special methods of absorbing and replenishing energy, which is why your internal energy was able to enter my body."

"I wonder where Qin Mengyao got these things from."
