Quick Wear: Heaven Always Favors Me

Chapter 237: The Martial Arts Demon Saint 22

Only after all of Chongli's internal injuries were healed did Jiang Yao release the shackles on Chongli.

She then belatedly felt a stabbing pain in her body and simply fell on the bed in exhaustion.

Chongli's internal injuries were very serious, and she was extremely angry, so she hardly left any vitality for herself, causing the life and death energies in her body to become overly unbalanced. The pain brought by the backlash of the death energy made her face turn pale.

Chongli was not good at speaking, but when he saw Jiang Yao’s pale face, he knew that Jiang Yao was in pain.

Thinking of this, his brows furrowed tightly, and he stared at Jiang Yao, stretching out his hand to infuse his internal energy into Jiang Yao.

"Are you stupid? Internal energy is useless to me." Seeing Chongli's actions, Jiang Yao knew what Chongli wanted to do, and immediately pulled the corners of her lips and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Chongli silently withdrew his hand, but soon reached out again and clumsily and gently stroked the back of Jiang Yao's head.

"...What are you doing?" Jiang Yao really had no strength left, and even she sounded very weak when she said this.

"I heard that it won't be so painful if you do this." Chong Li said seriously, "When I was doing missions before, I saw mothers comforting their children in this way. I wonder if this will be useful to the Saint Lady?"

Silly boy, Jiang Yao wanted to laugh.

But maybe she was too tired, she actually thought it was fine this way, so she closed her eyes and let Chongli stroke her head again and again.

Just as I was dozing off, a familiar yet strange presence suddenly appeared in the room.

When sensing the danger, Jiang Yao subconsciously wanted to attack, but Chongli was prepared and blocked the internal force early on.

"Lady Saint has such elegant tastes that she actually stays in the same room and sleeps on the same bed with a lowly secret guard." Gu Nanshan no longer had a gentle smile on his face, and he even looked at Jiang Yao with gritted teeth.

Neuropathy!

Jiang Yao frowned, and Chongli knew what Jiang Yao wanted to do, so he immediately helped Jiang Yao up.

Jiang Yao was exhausted and could only lean on Chongli. She answered Gu Nanshan's words with indifference and sarcasm, "Even if that's the case, what does it have to do with the deputy leader? Besides, wasn't the deputy leader holding a beautiful girl in his arms just now? How come he came here so quickly?"

Without waiting for Gu Nanshan to speak, Jiang Yao said with a click of the tongue: "The good night is short, you better seize the opportunity, otherwise the Saint of Tianyin Sect may be abducted by other men at any time, and I dare not save her anymore."

Gu Nanshan didn't pay any attention to what Jiang Yao said. His attention was all on Chongli's hand holding Jiang Yao.

To the two, this was just a normal interaction, but Gu Nanshan found it inexplicably irritating.

He walked forward and wanted to pull Jiang Yao out of Chongli's arms, but Chongli naturally refused. Neither of them wanted to hurt Jiang Yao. After a few exchanges, Gu Nanshan was shocked to find that Chongli's martial arts skills were now comparable to his.

Since there was no way to snatch the person away, Gu Nanshan simply activated the Tongxin Gu.

Jiang Yao remained calm, and Gu Nanshan thought she was just pretending not to speak, so he immediately said, "Jiang Yao, come here, and I won't activate the Tong Xin Gu."

When Jiang Yao heard this, she raised her eyebrows. The pain from the imbalance of life and death in her body overwhelmed everything, including the movement of the Tongxin Gu.

If Gu Nanshan hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have realized it.

Originally Jiang Yao was thinking of strangling the Tongxin Gu after some time, but now she has changed her mind.

Jiang Yao smiled. Her face was pale at this moment. When she smiled, she looked like Xi Shi holding her heart, beautiful and pitiful.

Even the coldness on Gu Nanshan's face melted a little.

But the next moment, Gu Nanshan's expression changed drastically.

If the Tongxin Gu is forcibly released, the mother Gu will also suffer backlash.

Jiang Yao and Gu Nanshan spat out blood at the same time. Jiang Yao's eyes were full of pleasure and malice, while Gu Nanshan's eyes were full of disbelief.

"You practiced the Book of Life and Death!" Gu Nanshan was extremely shocked, anxious and angry, "Why did you practice it?"

"Why?" Chongli wiped away the remaining blood from Jiang Yao's lips. She looked at Gu Nanshan mockingly, knowing something in her heart, "In order not to be controlled by you, to gain freedom, to be myself."

"You're crazy! The Book of Life and Death is a technique that can reverse life and death. Do you think it will be good for your body?" Gu Nanshan said angrily. "This technique will eventually decline after reaching its peak. It causes great damage to the body. Anyone who practices this technique will not live long."

Jiang Yao could only smile and look at Gu Nanshan when she heard this: "Those who are poisoned by the same heart poison will not live more than 20 years."

Just this one sentence left Gu Nanshan speechless.

"It's getting late. If you have nothing else to do, please leave." Jiang Yao regained some strength, and stood up to look at Gu Nanshan. "If Nangong Shengyin has the strength to defeat me, then I have nothing to say. I won't deliberately obstruct your actions, but don't think about threatening me again in the future."

Only after Gu Nanshan left did Jiang Yao breathe a sigh of relief and leaned on Chongli again.

It was also at this time that Jiang Yao realized why Gu Nanshan had just misunderstood her and Chongli.

She just tore off Chongli's clothes!

At this moment, one of them was shirtless and the other was disheveled, neither of them looked serious at all.

When Jiang Yao realized it belatedly and wanted to stand up, Chongli's low voice sounded from above her head: "Lady Saint, what is Tongxin Gu?"

“……”I forgot there is someone here who doesn’t know the truth.

After Jiang Yao roughly explained the incident to Chong Li, Chong Li immediately lowered his eyes and said inexplicably frustrated: "As the Saint Lady's secret guard, I didn't notice it earlier. I failed in my duty."

Jiang Yao touched her nose when she heard this. Not many people knew about this matter to begin with, and now the Tongxin Gu had been strangled by her, so the matter was over.

"Father doesn't know about this, so don't blame yourself." Jiang Yao comforted Chongli, but Chongli's eyes suddenly changed.

"Lady Saint, are you willing to tell me something that even the Lord Leader doesn't know?" For some reason, Jiang Yao always felt that when Chongli said this, there seemed to be a tail swinging back and forth behind him.

"Yeah." I just said it in front of Chongli. Do you really want to lie to me?

but……

If she lied, Chongli might believe it.

After all, Chongli listens to her very much.

When Jiang Yao thought of this, she felt inexplicably happy. She raised her hand and rubbed Zhongli's head: "Okay, I'm fine now. Let Xiaoqing prepare some hot water for me to take a bath."

Chongli nodded and left the room. Looking at Chongli's back, Jiang Yao seemed to feel something was wrong.

After Xiaoqing's exclamation came from outside the door, Jiang Yao belatedly realized that Chongli had been shirtless.

The conversation between Chongli and Xiaoqing could be faintly heard from the door.

"Chongli! Where are your clothes?" Xiaoqing was both embarrassed and annoyed.

"Lady Saint tore it up." Chongli said in a flat tone.

After hearing this, Jiang Yao couldn't help but slap his forehead.

"What?! You are actually with the Saint Lady!" Xiaoqing couldn't believe it.

The rest of the conversation became unclear, but from the tone, it was not difficult for Jiang Yao to guess that Xiao Qing had misunderstood her and Chongli.

As expected, when Xiaoqing was carrying the hot water bucket and serving Jiang Yao, she always seemed to be hesitant to speak, but unable to start.

Jiang Yao was ready to listen to Xiaoqing's questions, but Xiaoqing didn't say anything until she finished bathing.

Okay, I'll just hold it to death.

Jiang Yao looked at Xiaoqing and thought so.
