Chapter 1261: Cure Yuan Tianxing

Lin Qiao glanced at him speechlessly, then picked up the bowl of crushed catmint that was soaked in water. The catmint juice had mixed with the water, and after the soaking, the water now contained a high percentage of pure catmint juice.

She put the bowl near Yuan Tianxing and started pouring the liquid in the bowl into his mouth carefully. Meanwhile, she responded to Wu Chengyue, “What can I do about it? I can’t control it. The water dissolves the clothes once it touches them. I can’t stop it.”

After slowing pouring the liquid into Yuan Tianxing’s mouth along with the crushed catmint, Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes to observe the inside of his body. Wu Chengyue had no words to argue with her, so he stopped talking and looked at her unhappily.

As same as Lin Qiao, Lu Tianyi and the kids were all having their eyes on Yuan Tianxing. Teng’s pair of bright eyes were fixed on his chest.

Yuan Tianxing’s purple skin was glowing with a weird, green light. It was because he was shrouded in the energy from Lin Qiao’s lake for a long time. but currently, the faint green light was fading slowly under the effect of the purple, destructive energy.

Lin Qiao knew what was happening. A small amount of lake energy lingered inside his body as he had stayed in the lake for a long time. Now, since he had left the lake, the energy of the lake was no longer suppressing the dark energy, and the dark energy instantly boosted itself. That was why the green energy was fading.

As Lin Qiao poured the catmint juice into his mouth, a different kind of green energy that was richly colored spread from his stomach and started fighting against the purple energy. That green energy was many times purer and stronger than the energy from the catmint juice that Lin Qiao got from Leng Xuantong the last time, and it immediately showed an obvious effect against the purple energy!

“Hah! It’s working!” Lin Qiao’s eyes glowed slightly with excitement.

“Yeah, it’s working!” Teng nodded in agreement.

On hearing the boy’s words, Lin Qiao turned and gave him a glance as she asked him, “Eh? Teng, can you see it too?”

Teng shook his head and said, “What? I can’t see it, but I can smell it! I have a very keen nose! I can tell how it’s going by sensing the change of his vibe!”

Lin Qiao, Wu Chengyue, and Lu Tianyi all looked at the boy with surprise as if they were looking at a real treasure.

“Teng, I didn’t know you have that skill! I’m amazed!” Lu Tianyi rubbed the boy’s tender little face. Meanwhile, Lin Qiao dropped her head and kept observing Yuan Tianxing. The rich green energy inside his body had been spreading very slowly. In the meantime, the green energy and purple energy were devouring each other.

Teng slapped Lu Tianyi’s hand off his face, then patted him on the shoulder as he pointed a finger at Yuan Tianxing and said, “Little Uncle, take me over there. I want to touch Uncle Yuan.”

“Why?” Lu Tianyi asked him curiously. Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue turned their eyes on the boy as well.

“Don’t ask me why just yet. Just take me there,” Teng refused to answer his question, but patted him on the shoulder again.

With curiosity, Lu Tianyi carried the boy to Yuan Tianxing and waited to see what he planned to do. As he was put near Yuan Tianxing, Teng reached out a hand and pressed on the latter’s skin.

After spending a short while feeling the energies inside Yuan Tianxing’s body, he retracted his hand, then folded his little arms before his chest and said, “I think the bowl of catmint juice isn’t enough. But, we can’t give him more now. We have to wait until the catmint’s effect wears off completely this time to give him more uninfected catmint juice. I guess he won’t wake up until we have repeated this process a few times.”

After spending a short while observing the energies inside Yuan Tianxing’s body, Lin Qiao did the math and roughly figured out the amount of the energy contained in the bowl of catmint juice and its consumption rate. As a result, the bowl of catmint juice would be able to neutralize twenty-five percent of the dark energy.

So, Teng was right. She did need to give Yuan Tianxing a few more doses of catmint juice.

“It’s okay. As long as it’s effective. I don’t care how many times we need to do this,” Lin Qiao sighed with relief, then smiled at Teng. Now, she knew for sure that Yuan Tianxing would be cured. Finally, she had one less thing to worry about.

Wu Chengyue was paying attention to the look on her face. He knew that she not only needed to worry about Lin Wenwen earlier, but also about Yuan Tianxing’s condition. In the meantime, she had to keep her eyes on the overall situation on the outside and think about how to deal with Si Kongchen’s scheme.

However, seeing her care so much about another man and try so hard to help him, Wu Chengyue felt more and more uncomfortable. Why did she never care so much about him?

“Alright. Tianyi, carry Yuan Tianxing to the house next-door and find him a room to lie there.” Lin Qiao threw Yuan Tianxing to Lu Tianyi once after she made sure that he would be cured. Lu Tianyi put Teng into Lin Qiao’s arms, then carried Yuan Tianxing in his arms and walked out to the house next door.

Lin Qiao held Teng as she looked at the catmint left in the bag and fell into thoughts.

“What’s wrong? Is there some other problem?” Seeing the look on Lin Qiao’s face, Wu Chengyue couldn’t help but ask.

“I’m thinking that this might not be enough. I need to go out and ask Duan Juan to get some more,” Lin Qiao sat down on the couch as he put Teng beside her.

“Who do you plan to bring to the underground world with you?” Wu Chengyue sat on the armchair near her as he reached out to pull Teng toward himself and rubbed the boy’s hair.

“Just the ones who followed me here this time. The strong ones will go down with me while the weaker ones will stay in my space,” Lin Qiao thought for a moment and said.

The underground world would be very dangerous. The ones she brought with her this time were mostly at level-five or six. However, among them, human beings were rather weak, and a few of them were even at level three or four. She planned to put the relatively weak ones in her space and let the strong ones follow her underground.

“There’s one question that I’ve been wanting to ask. Normally, space possessors won’t bring people into their spaces. Don’t people always like to hide their spaces? Your space has so many secrets. Aren’t you afraid that people might find out about those secrets?” Wu Chengyue was suddenly curious about what she was thinking.

He understood that she was probably pretty confident that things like that would never happen, but what if there was an accident?

Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “Why would I hide it? Compared with using this space as a storage room, I prefer using it as a weapon. In this place, I am able to control the life of every living being and read everyone’s mind. The ones who cast greedy eyes on my base are all dead. Besides, the number of space possessors is small indeed, but we are not rare, are we? Why do I need to hide my space? I’m even planning to build a zombie army in my base. Isn’t it cool to take a zombie army everywhere with me?”
