Revenge of the Concubine’s Daughter - Chapter 142
Chapter 142 Fairly weak little Miss
Uh-oh! They exclaimed in their hearts at the same time, “I spilled the beans by accident!”
When Meng Xuan was pinned down, and his neck was choked by He Danggui who was really angry, he suddenly realized that he should conceal his true ability. So, he pretended to be weak and begged, “Spare me, my kind sister! I bragged. It was just a joke! Actually, I’m stupid and silly. There is nothing I can surpass you!”
But He Danggui also put her hands over her mouth in surprise and said, “What a coincidence. In fact, I was joking too. I never fought a thief, and I’m just a little Miss who is fairly weak… So, Seventh Childe Xuan, could you please forget what I said? Just pretend that I said nothing before, okay?”
“Well, what a coincidence.” Meng Xuan smiled and looked up at He Danggui. His eyes sparkled like the sea. She said, “I have the same thought with you! How about forgetting it together?”
“Forgetting it together?” What should she forget about? Although He Danggui didn’t know what Meng Xuan was doing, she nodded, “Deal!”
Seeing that she was so amenable, Meng Xuan couldn’t help sighing with relief. But when he was about to thank her, he found that she still rode on him and squeezed his neck. So, he reminded her kindly, “Sister, now that we’ve explained clearly the misunderstanding. Could you please come down?” He Danggui’s leg also was on Meng Xuan’s private part.
He Danggui shook her head and said, “That is quite another matter. Although we leave that thing behind, but look at this.” She grinned while taking out a sharp and long silver needle and putting it in front of Meng Xuan. Then she asked dangerously, “Do you know what it is?”
“A needle.” Meng Xuan answered honestly.
“That’s right, and it’s also a poisonous needle.” He Danggui stopped smiling and said in horror, “It has the poison, Jian Xue Feng Kou, and it’s a horrible poison which can make the corpse blacken. I order you to stop taking away my Zhenqi now, otherwise you’ll die!”
After holding down Meng Xuan, He Danggui found that things were really like what he said. Transmitting Zhenqi would not be interrupted unless he let his hands go. He Danggui struggled several times and couldn’t remove from Meng Xuan’s body. Until now she found that what he really chose to transmit Zhenqi was lower abdomen. He attracted her belly button with his belly button, transmitting from Dantian to Dantian. This was barely robbing! It was on the basis of consensual relationships when she asked Lu Jiangbei and others to transmit Zhenqi before. That was from channel to channel with a uniform speed. But Meng Xuan transmitted from Dantian directly. Did he want to absorb everything out of her?
Thinking of this, she pricked a bleeding blister on his hand with her needle, just like the blister that she frightened that man last time. The bleeding blister slowly swelled, which looked a little horrible.
Since she suspected to that man, she took this kind of “poisonous needle” all the time. Besides, she also took the anesthesia and “tea dew”. She almost used her special skills and those could hold down seniors in complete secrecy. She was ready to use when that man wanted to kill her. Unexpectedly, she fought with the masked man with the anesthesia and “tea dew”, and used the poisonous needle on Meng Xuan.
“Hey, why am I still alive?” Meng Xuan tilted his head in the state of being choked by He Danggui and looked at the bleeding blister on his hand. He asked, “Is this a horrible poison that can kill people in a flash?”
“It is just an exaggerated expression, and even arsenic can’t kill people in a flash.” He Danggui frightened Meng Xuan with the last excuse again, “In fact, this kind of poison won’t kill you. But you will be blind one month later; you will be deaf 2 months later; you will be bald 3 month later; you will be sonless 4 months later…” She just shortened the time of poison she said last time. Then she continued, “If you don’t believe it, you can prick your Shangqu acupoint with a silver needle and look at the pinpoint’s color when you’re back. Shangqu acupoint is one of the eight important acupoints for those martial artists. If you’re infected with this deadly poison, you must know how worrying your situation is!”
“Among other things, my queen. Could you please change another posture to press me?” Meng Xuan’s bitter expression was so lovely that people wanted to pinch it. He said, “If you still maintain this posture, I will be sonless before the poison breaks out!”
He Danggui lowered her head and found that she chose a wrong point of strength, so she moved over a little bit and continued to negotiate, “I guess you definitely want the antidote, right? I suppose that you’re young and ignorant, and I don’t really think that your sin should make you be sonless. So, I will give you one temporary antidote every 7 days. When you give all my Zhenqi back, I’ll detoxify for you completely, okay?”
“What’s more, please don’t wriggle when you speak. It makes me feel uncomfortable.” Meng Xuan continued to tell his troubles, “And please don’t shake your head. Your hair makes me feel itchy.”
He Danggui said angrily, “You got poisoned! Don’t you want to get the antidote?”
Meng Xuan broke the bleeding blister with his hand and torn a piece of silk from his sleeve. He was binding up the wound and said, “A month ago, I got poisoned. It is called ‘He He Qi Ri Qing’ which is the strongest poison in the world. After taking the antidote, I become immune for all poisons. If you don’t believe me, you can prick my Shangqu acupoint and look at pinpoint’s color.”
“He He Qi Ri Qing? It’s reserved for imperial guards. Oh, so you’re the prisoner arrested by the Imperial Court!” He Danggui thought that last time when she saved him, he didn’t have the sign of being poisoning. Was it because he had detoxified? Should she tell about saving him as a chip so that asking him to give energy back to her?
Meng Xuan’s insouciant expression suddenly disappeared. He stared at He Danggui and asked, “Why did you know He He Qi Ri Qing? Who are you?” Well, this poison was from Jiang Yi who was an imperial guard. He used his special Jin Mai Nail and fought on Meng Xuan’s body when Meng Xuan saved Su Xiaoxiao at Tu’er Town. Later, Meng Xuan fought with imperial guards again in order to ask for the antidote. Although he deflected people’s attention in a tactic of dispersing group’s strength and ate the antidote successfully, he was surrounded by Gao Jue and others when he was about to leave. As being outnumbered, he was injured and hid in the mountain. Later, he was saved by Zixiao.
But why He Danggui could know his secret? As a Miss of rich family, not only did she have internal energy, but also she clearly knew the matters of imperial guards. Meng Xuan’s expression became colder and colder. He asked again, “Who are you exactly?”
“Boy, you’ve known that there is special blazing Zhenqi of Longhu Sect inside my body, right? To be honest, I’m the saint of Longhu Sect. People in Jianghu praise my arts of lightness as ‘no trace of water, flying in the grass’ and call me the heroine He Danggui.” With a change of thought, she decided not to tell him that she had saved him before. Saving the prisoner arrested by the Imperial Court was a deadly sin, and he also had a felony. They were both involved in the case. If he was a rogue, what about threatening and controlling her by it? Seeing his beautiful face with bright eyes and red mouth, she confirmed this possibility. Taking her Zhenqi without asking, he was really a villain!
He Danggui knew that Nie Chun came from Longhu Sect, and her internal blazing Zhenqi was from him. Both Longhu Sect and Qiyanggong Sect did act secretly, like the legendary existence. Who cared that she pretended only once?
“The saint of Longhu Sect? No trace of water, flying in the grass?” Meng Xuan frowned to think back while whispered, “What’s that? I never heard it before.” With his wide knowledge, he hadn’t heard this name in Jianghu. Was it because he was ignorant or she talked recklessly?
Of course, He Danggui didn’t believe that she couldn’t fool a boy with her intelligent wisdom and lying experience. So, she snorted inscrutably, “You’ve been practicing martial arts all the year round so that you become an ignorant material arts addict. It is not strange that you don’t know what happened in Jianghu. How dare you disrespect the saint of Longhu Sect? Stop transmitting Zhenqi now! What are you waiting for?” Gee! She would lose all her Zhenqi if he continued to absorb.
“Sister Saint.” Meng Xuan twinkled his eyes and begged, “Could you please not tell anyone that once I’ve poisoned by He He Qi Ri Qing, okay? Actually, I just ate outside and accidentally ate this kind of poison. I’m not the prisoner arrested by the Imperial Court. Instead, I’m a vanguard general who is willingly to sacrifice myself for the country. Please help me keep this secret, okay?” He didn’t care whether she was a saint or a goddess. Although just he believed a little and guessed she might hide some secrets, he had a lot of secrets too. It was unnecessary to know her secrets so clearly. Anyway, what he wanted to do first was to comfort her.
Meng Xuan held He Danggui’s slim waist. Taking a move of reversing their positions, he pinned He Danggui down and said sincerely, “Taking away your energy is really to help you. If you don’t believe it, just remember the terrible situation of faltering before you came to the room. Look at yourself now. You’re full of energy and even want me to have no offspring. Don’t you really get that?”
He Danggui was confused and found he was right. Looking back, she felt so uncomfortable as if she was going to die. But now, she felt energetic to pinch. Her hands and feet were so warm. She pinched Meng Xuan’s neck and asked, “So, do I give you my Zhenqi for nothing? Will I harm my health if I have Zhenqi? Or am I just not cut out for practicing martial arts?”
“I was about to tell you, but you suddenly held me down and I have no chance to say. Although you’re suitable for practicing martial arts, you’re lazy and opportunistic. You think you can be a master just by taking internal force from other seniors. You’re wrong.”
Seeing He Danggui’s lovely grimace, he pinched her pink cheek and touched her tip of nose with his forefinger. When she shouted, “How dare you…”, he covered her mouth and continued, “No man is content. There are too much Zhenqi that you took away from different methods. Although Zhenqi is good, you should take it slowly. Besides, you’re a woman. But what you received is virile Zhenqi. It’s thick and heavy and is incompatible with your constitution. Above all, only a person with good external energy dare to use others’ Zhenqi. Otherwise, many Wulin schools in the world all can cultivate a number of artificial seniors. Girl, you are so lazy that you almost have no external energy.”
He Danggui was unconvinced and bit Meng Xuan’s finger, then she snorted, “I’m good at martial arts’ formulas of every schools in the world. And I also have the peach grove which allows me to practice martial arts. One day I’ll be a senior of martial arts and defeat you!” Actually, after she moved into Tao Yao Yard, she had rested 5 or 6 days. Every day she slept till noon and continued to get more sleep at noon. So, “having no time” was the best explanation of “lazy” forever.
“Of course, Zhenqi is essential energy for martial artists, and every drop of it is so precious. I’m 1.68 meters tall…” He Danggui interrupted him to correct, “1.08 meters tall.” He paused for a while and continued, “How can I grab such a weak woman’s Zhenqi? In fact, I took away your Zhenqi from Dantian to Dantian is to help you promote Zhenqi. Look at your irregular Zhenqi, you never know methods for circling Zhenqi. I’m teaching you the basic methods, but you refused to learn.”
Hearing this, He Danggui was confused. The basic course of internal energy? This was her most desirable course both in her previous life and this life! After holding her breath, she found irregular Zhenqi really flew to Dantian regularly with a smooth and steady rhythm.
“Sorry, I never noticed this. Could you please repeat it?” He Danggui humbly asked for advice, “Which channels are going first? Pericardium channel? Tri-jiao channel? Zusanli acupoint?”
“Don’t worry.” Meng Xuan felt surprised to the girl who changed her attitude so fast. Then he smiled and said, “In order to help you adjust the breath, of course, also to help me adjust the Zhenqi taking from you, I let the speed of receiving Zhenqi to the slowest. I will take away all your Zhenqi inside your body about 10 days. That means I’ll come to your room every night for the next 10 days. Would you mind it? Uh, if you haven’t been engaged to other man, I can ask for Madam Luo to propose marriage to you, in order to maintain your reputation and moral integrity.”
