Chapter 309: Right Before the Sparrow's Eyes

Chapter 309: Before the Vermilion Bird

The Vermilion Bird pursed her lips.

Then she pursed them again.

Can you see clearly now? Is she an old woman?

The sexy lips you spoke of, the breathtakingly beautiful Vermilion Bird of your heart!

Damn you, now you call her an old woman, you better remember this!

You said I was beautiful, called me big sister, rubbed snouts with my piggy, and then jumped onto the bed holding my disciple.

Look at Chichi's aggrieved face, I am the one who is aggrieved! Chichi herself knows nothing, this kind of aphrodisiac can never be cured by a man, for once it is resolved through consummation, she will only sink into it forever and never break free, this is the poisonous spider's method of controlling people. Of course you might feel it is nothing even if you are controlled by someone named Zhao, you do not want face but my Four Symbols Sect still does, the magnificent Saintess, the candidate for Sect Master, going to be someone's sex slave?

You absolute little bastard!

Unfortunately, Zhao Changhe could not understand her hinting lip-purses, and she could not show any other signs, so her voice became even colder: "Zhao Changhe, do you truly believe this seat will not kill?"

Zhao Changhe leaped up: "I gave you guys the Xuanwu Stone of the Xuanwu Secret Realm, and just now I even helped Xuanwu crack the Azure Dragon Coffin, I only treat the Four Symbols Sect as Chichi's maternal home to be close at every turn, yet all you know is kill kill kill!"

Xia Chichi was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she forcefully tugged at Zhao Changhe's sleeve: "Hey..."

The Vermilion Bird knew she was in the wrong, yet she forced herself to say: "So what? What misunderstanding do you have about a demonic sect?"

Zhao Changhe crossed his arms, saying coldly: "Is that so? I see you simply do not dare to kill."

The Vermilion Bird also said coldly: "Heh... Your astrology has already been proven to have nothing to do with the Night Emperor, why wouldn't this seat dare to kill you?"

"Because your layout in the Yanmen Army will very likely face grand waves due to this single kill, and the deep cooperation Sanniang could have approached Batu for might also run into unexpected complications because of this. Zhao Changhe dying at the hands of the Four Symbols Sect would trigger a chain reaction that you dare not bear right now, nor do you even dare to deduce it." Zhao Changhe said calmly: "Venerable Vermilion Bird, I, Zhao, am now a collaborator who can negotiate terms with the Four Symbols Sect, not an over-aged rebel youth whose life or death is at your whim anymore."

The Vermilion Bird kept a straight face and did not speak.

She understood these truths... She indeed did not dare to kill Zhao Changhe. Zhao Changhe had even left a few words unsaid, for once he was truly killed, Chichi would turn away from her, and even Sanniang's side would probably have thoughts about it, so even if she did not look at the external reaction she still had to consider the internal heart. Zhao Changhe did not say it because he did not want to drag Chichi into the argument, but the fact was that he alone already affected the inside and outside of the Four Symbols, unknowingly becoming an extremely core and critical point of the Four Symbols Sect.

But the problem was, when did she ever want to kill Zhao Changhe!

You called me an old woman, can I not habitually threaten you with a line! You just needed to soften up a bit, why did you have to tear the veil so uglily, do I, the Vermilion Bird, not want face?

Wanting Chichi, gone!

The Vermilion Bird took a deep breath, directly ignoring the matter of whether she dared to kill or not with Zhao Changhe, and said slowly: "Chichi is at the critical point of the Secret Treasury's door, coming to the Western Frontier this time is for the final tempering, assassinating the traitor is just a link of sharpening rather than purely to complete a mission. In a situation like just now, it was nowhere near a dead end, failing to stimulate her potential, this seat was clearly protecting her from the shadows yet did not make a move or even let her know I was there, precisely to let Chichi experience hardships herself so she could gain sharpening insights. You on the other hand, took it upon yourself to clear the path for her, do you think that is good or bad?"

Zhao Changhe did not expect her to bring this up, and these words were truly reasonable, making it hard to refute for a moment.

These two did not have the title of master and disciple, but in reality it was the truth of master and disciple, Chichi had always been learning from the Vermilion Bird since she entered the sect. A master training a disciple had their own arrangements, blindly intervening indeed destroyed the intended purpose.

With danger present, a powerhouse of the Earth Ranking was protecting her from the shadows, why did you need to meddle so much...

But how could he hold back at that time...

Seeing his expression, the Vermilion Bird slowly said: "You rode horses side-by-side with Yue Hongling, traversing the Northern Desert, invincible against a thousand troops, I have heard of it. Why did you two not continue to be clingy?"

Zhao Changhe was even more speechless.

The reason for separating from Yue Hongling was also to sharpen himself. He had thought before that it was very easy to form a dependency by her side, which was unfavorable to the elevation of martial arts. This time counted as a practical proof.

Seeing that she had talked this fellow into lowering his head in silence, the Vermilion Bird felt unreasonably pleased in her heart, leisurely crossing her legs, her bare feet swaying up and down: "The Saintess serves the god with purity, that is the first; the choice for Sect Master must strictly guard one's body and not act recklessly, that is the second; wanting to pursue a breakthrough in martial arts means one cannot be too indulged in love, that is the third; retaining the primal yin and primal yang is even more beneficial for breakthroughs in innate martial arts, that is the fourth. Do not say this seat is striking down the mandarin ducks, from which point do you two feel you can mess around?"

Are you a dean preventing puppy love? Line after line.

Zhao Changhe was racking his brains trying to say something when Xia Chichi, who had swallowed the medicine next to them and had been silently channeling her internal energy to detoxify, suddenly raised her hand with a flushed face: "Venerable..."

"Hmm?" The Vermilion Bird looked at the little wench in an extremely good mood: "What do you want to say?"

Xia Chichi said: "This medicine of ours cannot entirely eliminate the residual poison."

The Vermilion Bird: "..."

Zhao Changhe tilted his head, holding back a laugh.

Saying so many lines after lines, it turns out you cannot solve the imminent matter.

The Vermilion Bird found it unbelievable: "How is it possible? Just with the poisonous spider's poison, how could our sect's medicine fail to resolve it! You have even practiced the Azure Dragon skill, your poison resistance is originally superior to ordinary people! Extend your hand, this seat will verify!"

Xia Chichi extended her hand with a flushed face, her body still squirming involuntarily.

The Vermilion Bird pressed her pulse and investigated for a while, tightly furrowing the willow brows beneath her mask.

It really was not cleaned out.

There was no other reason than that this poison had been lurking for some days, taking a bit of root.

The Four Symbols Sect inherited various ways of vitality, their medicine was quite strong, but before the Spring Returning Secret was cracked, they still had a way to go in this aspect, far from reaching the top. And the poisonous spider was famous for poison, frequently using it to fight above his level, so he was no pushover either. Even if the two canceled each other out, this long-rooted accumulated poison still could not be resolved in a second, she had to continue taking medicine and recuperate in closed-door cultivation for a period of time, then it could be slowly eradicated...

But right now Chichi still had many things to do, how could she do closed-door cultivation here? What did she come to Kunlun for?

While she was pressing the pulse and contemplating, Zhao Changhe also quietly held Chichi's other hand, probing as well. At this moment he finally sighed: "Venerable, there is a sentence I don't know if I should say..."

The Vermilion Bird said casually: "Say it."

"I actually have a bit of a way to quickly cure Chichi... Hey, hey, don't glare with those bird eyes, this bit of residual poison does not require doing that."

The Vermilion Bird said: "Aside from a bit of dual cultivation technique, what poison can you treat?"

"Did Sanniang not have time to tell you guys? I really can treat it." Zhao Changhe said: "Stop wasting time, the residual poison is entangled in her body, if you don't feel distressed for Chichi, I do, what if waiting too long causes aftereffects?"

The Vermilion Bird remained silent for a moment: "Then you treat it."

"Now?"

"Now."

"You said it." Zhao Changhe suddenly pulled Xia Chichi beside him into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her.

Xia Chichi stole a glance at the Vermilion Bird, meeting the kiss with a bit of rebellion, and the lips of the two quickly pressed together.

The Vermilion Bird widened her eyes, her crossed legs could no longer hold, and she stood up with a "swish": "This is your treatment?"

She was so angry that she grabbed Xia Chichi's wrist to pull her away, but as her hand touched it, she suddenly felt an extremely strong vitality of vegetation surging and growing inside Xia Chichi's body, directly crushing the residual poison away from its roots, it was a crushing force like a dimensional reduction.

It actually worked...

Strange, this was not a dual cultivation technique, how could transferring qi through dual cultivation have such a strong effect, what kind of skill was this, how did it match the intent of the Four Symbols so well... In the end, are you the Four Symbols Sect or are we the Four Symbols Sect?

The Vermilion Bird was temporarily immersed in the brand-new insight into the vitality of vegetation, even forgetting to interrupt the passionate kissing of the young couple.

The adulterous couple just munched with smacking sounds right in front of the dean.

Xia Chichi even let out an intentional "ying" sound, looking as if she enjoyed it very much.

The Vermilion Bird: "..."

How did this scene look wrong no matter how one looked at it? Who am I, where am I, what am I doing...

By the time the Vermilion Bird snapped out of it, Xia Chichi's residual poison was truly eradicated, and the Vermilion Bird's lungs were about to explode with rage.

Zhao Changhe, you did it on purpose, right? Looking at this pattern, you could have done it hand-to-hand, who said it had to be mouth-to-mouth?

Right in front of my face, intentionally stepping on my face!

Adulterer and adulteress, you better remember this, your Winged Fire Snake is gone!
