Chapter 610: Fang Ye Wakes up
When Qiao Mu returned to her courtyard, she also went to her study.
However, she didn’t call anyone.
Instead, she grabbed a porcelain cup and threw it against the wall.
"Two bastards." She screamed; her face contorted into a horrific mask.
"Where did these two bastards come from? How dare they spoil my good deeds?"
Cups, teapots, plates, chess set, wooden table...
Qiao Mu smashed one thing after another until she felt better.
When she regained her composure, she flumped on her study seat.
"I have no choice." She muttered, removed a communication jade pendant, and messaged someone.
Barely a moment later, she received a reply.
When she saw the reply, Qiao Wu frowned but soon nodded in understanding.
’Compared to Fang Tiancheng, killing Fang Ye is more important.’ She thought.
After that, she put away the jade pendant, cleaned the room and smoothened her expression.
When everything was done, she forced a beautiful smile and walked out of the study room.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue shuddered.
"Women are scary." He said and soon continued.
"However, the most amazing is the Fang Zongming who has yet to appear."
"Why do you say that?"
"This guy has six wives and forty-eight concubines. How dare he marry so many people? Isn’t he afraid of kidney deficiency or being killed by one of his women?"
Hearing this, Yu Nianzhen chuckled, and a hint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Talking about that..."
Before Jiang Yue could react, he was hugged and carried into the house.
"This is someone else’s house." Jiang Yue complained.
However, his hands were more honest.
While his mouth complained, his hands were removing his lover’s clothes.
"If we hurry, we can be done before the big show begins."
"Rogue."
As the two were ’being quick’ about their business, Li Ruoqing helped Fang Ye absorb the first pill.
"Father, what do you know about those two people?" Li Ruoqing asked and turned to look at housekeeper Li.
"Be careful, the walls have ears." Li Chen warned, and Li Ruoqing nodded.
She was normally careful.
However, Li Ruoqing was exhausted.
Not only was she tired from taking care of Fang Ye but also because her injuries were still not healed.
As a result, she momentarily lost her composure while speaking to her father.
"No one knows anything about those two." Housekeeper Li said.
"They suddenly appeared with the pills."
"I am grateful to them, but their lives will probably be in danger." Li Ruoqing frowned.
"If I wasn’t injured..."
"You can hardly protect yourself and XiaoYe." Li Chen sighed.
"Don’t worry about those two."
"What do you mean?"
"No ordinary cultivator would dare accept the task for soul-cleansing grass, let alone the soul-cleansing pill."
"However, those two not only accepted the task but even dared to reveal they found an ancient garden. I suspect they have a powerful background."
"Powerful background? Which one do you suspect?" Li Ruoqing asked but continued without waiting for the housekeeper’s answer.
"The alchemy city has the most alchemists in the Cangxing world. As a result, it has the most friends. Which force would dare to mess with the Alchemy city without worrying about being attacked by other forces?"
"Your reasoning is right but..."
"But?"
"Those two seem to have a plan. For now, let’s focus on XiaoYe."
Hearing that, Li Ruoqing turned to look at her son.
Fortunately, after absorbing the first pill, the child’s condition seemed to have improved a little.
"It’s working." Li Ruoqing excitedly exclaimed.
"Thank the heavens." Li Chen smiled.
Over the next hour, Fang Ye continued to improve.
However, he still didn’t wake up.
Seeing this, Li Ruoqing and Li Chen were disappointed.
However, the situation was not unexpected since Fang Ye needed two pills to fully heal.
In the second hour after taking the first soul-cleansing pill, a centipede secretly crawled into the room.
The centipede was an index finger-long.
It had a brown body, forty eyes, and thirty pairs of legs.
At a glance, the centipede looked ordinary.
However, when one looked closer, they realised it was anything but.
First, its brown body wasn’t actually brown.
After a careful examination, the centipede’s body was purple-blackish, but the colour was covered under a layer of mud.
Most importantly, the centipede had a pair of sharp fangs, and its cultivation was equivalent to a late-stage nascent soul realm cultivator.
Without Li Ruoqing’s and Li Chen’s notice, the centipede slithered onto Fang Ye and slid inside his clothes.
Five breaths later, it crawled out, slithered out of the room, and disappeared.
One hour later, Li Ruoqing fed Fang Ye the second soul-cleansing grass.
As before, she placed her palm on the child’s dantian and helped him absorb the medicinal effect.
An incense stick later, the medicine was fully absorbed, and Li Ruoqing removed her hand.
"How is Xiaoye?" Li Chen asked.
"He..." Li Ruoqing started.
However, before she could finish her words, Fang Ye moved a finger.
"He is regaining consciousness." She happily exclaimed.
Hearing this, Li Chen sighed, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
’It’s not easy for Xiaoye to grow up.’ Li Chen thought with a solemn expression.
At the same time, his hands clenched into fists, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
’I thought I could let the grudge go when Xiaoye was born. However, they keep forcing my hand. It seems I have to find a way for my daughter and grandson.’ Li Chen thought with an impassive face.
"Xiaoye..." Li Ruoqing called while eagerly watching her son.
A moment later, the child opened his eyes and looked at his mother with a confused expression.
"Mother." He called.
"Xiaoye." Li Ruoqing leaned over and hugged her child, tears streaming from her eyes.
"What happened?" Fang Ye asked.
"Don’t you remember?" Li Ruoqing asked but soon explained.
"You were poisoned, but you are fine now." She said.
"I..." Fang Ye started, but before he could say more, a terrified scream startled everyone in the city lord’s residence.
