Li Mochou hesitated and stated, “Since it’s so, aren’t you making an empty promise? Your spouse has the antidote however you and he or she have turn out to be enemies. Despite the fact that killing her is not that arduous, how will you truly get the antidote?”

Gongsun Zhi hesitated to answer. After some time he stated, “Taoist Li, you and I’ve met by destiny. Even when I die I’ve no regrets.”

Li Mochou blandly stated, “You flatter me.”

Gongsun Zhi stated, “I’ve bought a plan. I can seize that evil particular person and pressure her to surrender the capsule. However I hope you may promise me one factor.”

Li Mochou stated in agitation, “I’ve roamed Jianghu all my life. I come and go as I please and nobody can ever pressure me to do something. In case you are prepared to present me the antidote, do it. If not, simply drop it. How can it’s that I, Li Mochou, would ever beg for my life?”

Though Gongsun Zhi’s kungfu was robust, he’d been secluded within the valley his whole life. Consequently, he did not find out about Jianghu’s most ferocious characters. He solely knew a little bit about decades-ago names that Qiu Qianchi had talked about. Over the previous ten years, the identify Scarlet Serpent Deity Li Mochou had shaken Jianghu, and there was nobody within the martial world who did not know that. Though Li Mochou did appear like a peach, her coronary heart was that of a serpent. Gongsun Zhi truly did not know any of this. As he heard her conceited phrases, he was more than happy.

He shortly stated, “You misunderstood my which means. I solely hoped you’d do one thing for me. How might it’s that I used to be forcing you? To grab the antidote, we have now to kill my daughter. If I stated one thing inappropriate, please do not be offended.”

Gongsun Lu’E was hiding behind a giant rock. Listening to ‘we have now to kill my daughter,’ she could not assist however tremble.

Li Mochou was additionally shocked. “The antidote is in your daughter’s fingers?”

“No,” replied Gongsun Zhi. “I am going to inform you the reality! That evil lady is excessively cussed and violent. The antidote have to be hidden in an especially hid place and we can’t probably pressure her at hand it over. We will solely resort to trickery, it is the one method.”

“That sounds appropriate,” stated Li Mochou, nodding in settlement.

“That wretch is heartless to everybody and there are not any limits to her viciousness. Nevertheless she does take care of her daughter and her alone. We will use this to our benefit. I am going to trick Lu’E so you may seize her and toss her into the flower thickets, then that evil lady can have no selection however to retrieve the Passionless Capsule to save lots of her daughter. We’ll seize this chance to grab it – there is not any motive why we’ll fail. It is a pity there’s just one Passionless Capsule on this planet, and since it’ll you, my daughter’s life can’t be saved.”

“We do not even have to make use of actual Ardour Flowers to prick your daughter. We simply have to placed on an act and make her look like she’s poisoned – this manner, we get the capsule and your daughter stays secure.”

Gongsun Zhi sighed. “That wretch is extraordinarily shrewd. If my daughter was merely poisoned by one thing else, it is not going to go unnoticed.” His voice grew to become constrained in the direction of the tip and he choked, as if he was actually turning into emotional.

Li Mochou stated, “How can I let your daughter be harmed in alternate for my life? It appears additionally that you’re reluctant to half together with her. Let’s drop this matter.”

Gongsun Zhi stated hurriedly; “No…no! Though I hate to half together with her, it will be worse to half with you.”

Li Mochou remained silent, admitting as a lot that there actually was no different method.

“Let’s wait right here,” stated Gongsun Zhi. “I am going to name her out when it is previous midnight. Intelligent she could be, however she would by no means guess that her father has bought one thing up his sleeve.”

Gongsun Lu’E heard each sentence that had simply transpired between the 2, and the extra she dwelled on it the extra she was afraid. When Gongsun Zhi dropped her and Yang Guo into the alligator pit that day, she knew her father cared naught of their father-daughter relationship. However that day’s occasions could possibly be defined as a rash match of anger. At the present time, he had truly plotted and schemed to finish his daughter’s life so as to please a lady he had simply met. His heartlessness and cruelty actually exceeded that of probably the most savage beasts.

Gongsun Lu’E had initially misplaced her will to reside, however when she heard them plotting her homicide, she instinctively wished to try to escape. It was a very good factor that the world had loads of hills and dense forests, making hiding locations aplenty. And so she flippantly took one step again, and after just a few moments, took one other step again. On this method, she retreated tens of toes earlier than lastly turning round to flee.

After an hour’s journey, she was removed from Passionless Valley. Realizing her father would come for her quickly, she did not even dare to return to her bed room. She sat perched on a rock, desolate. The chilly wind pierced her flesh and the pale moon shone mercilessly down. There was nothing left on this world that she longed for, and he or she mumbled to herself, “I did not need to go on dwelling anyway. Why did you continue to devise this plot to kill me, father? If you wish to kill me, come alongside and kill me. It’s extremely unusual, why did I escape?”

Immediately, a notion struck her like a bolt of lightning: Father is vicious, however his scheme is sensible. Since I will commit suicide anyway, I’d as effectively use his scheme to trick the Capsule from mom and save Brother Yang. Then you definitely, husband and spouse, can have me to thank on your reunion – me, the ill-fated lady who cared for him with all her coronary heart. At this thought, her coronary heart was full of a mix of gladness and sorrow, however nonetheless she discovered her vitality as soon as once more. She glanced at her environment to determine her location. Then, she rose and walked in the direction of her mom’s bed room.

When she handed by the Passionless Flowers, she severed two flower stalks. Holding them in her fingers, she walked to her mom’s bed room door and referred to as in a low voice, “Mom, are you asleep?”

Qiu Qianchi answered from her room, “E’er, what’s it?”

Lu’E cried, “Mom, mom! I have been pricked by the Ardour Flowers.” As she spoke, she embraced the flower stalks and pushed down forcefully onto her chest.

The a whole lot and 1000’s of little thorns sank into her flesh abruptly. Since her childhood she had been repeatedly warned in opposition to getting pricked by the flowers. As a result of she didn’t have the capability for such dangers then, she suffered no critical damage regardless of being pricked often. However as she grew up, the warnings from folks round her grew to become sterner. After greater than 10 years of cautiously avoiding this object – to suppose that now, she was truly pricking herself on function! The ache in her coronary heart grew a stage deeper and he or she grits her tooth, calling time and again, “Mom!”

Shocked to listen to that one thing was improper together with her, Qiu Qianchi anxiously ordered the maidservants to open the door and assist Lu’E inside. Lu’E exclaimed, “I’ve the Ardour Flower thorns in my physique, you may’t come close to me.” The colour drained from the 2 maidservants’ faces they usually opened the room door huge, permitting Lu’E to stroll in herself. How would they dare to the touch her physique?

Upon seeing her daughter’s shivering physique with a face as pale as dying, and with two Ardour Flower stalks hanging from her chest, Qiu Qianchi requested hurriedly, “What occurred to you? What occurred?”
