Martial Arts, the Little Master of the Ancient Tomb, Becomes Stronger When You Drink

53: Chapter 53 The Poison of the Love Flower?Early the next morning, the two of them packed their things and set off on their return journey.

Whether it was because it couldn’t bear to part with Su Xuan and his companion, or because it couldn’t bear to part with the roasted meat, the Little Eagle also left with them.

After a day of traveling, the sun slowly began to set.

Before nightfall, Su Xuan and the others finally found an inn.

Leaving the Little Eagle in the woods, the two of them walked into the inn hand in hand.

Upon seeing Su Xuan and his companion, the Waiter quickly approached them and said flatteringly, ’Two guests, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?’

Before Su Xuan could speak, Li Mochou’s pretty face turned red. She tugged at Su Xuan’s sleeve and said timidly, ’Xiao Xuan, how about we get two rooms instead...’

The Waiter said, ’Guest, what a coincidence. It’s getting a bit late today, and our inn only has one room left.’

Su Xuan lowered his head, leaned close to Li Mochou’s face, and smiled. ’See, even the Heavens are helping us. Besides, what are you afraid of? I won’t eat you.’

Li Mochou lifted her beautiful eyes slightly and asked fearfully, ’Are you really not going to do anything bad?’

’I won’t!’

’Alright then... one room it is...’ Li Mochou swallowed hard, forcing herself to stay calm.

Su Xuan took out a piece of broken silver from his robe and tossed it to the Waiter. ’I’ll take the last room, this Young Master wants it!’

’Understood!’ Taking the silver in his hand, the Waiter quickly handed the room plate and key to Su Xuan.

Taking the room plate, Su Xuan did not hesitate and led Li Mochou upstairs.

Li Mochou kept her head down the entire time, her face blushing red, not daring to say another word.

Half an hour later.

Li Mochou, who had been feigning sleep, suddenly opened her eyes. She bit her lip, her beautiful eyes filled with trepidation. ’Xiao Xuan, you said... you wouldn’t do anything bad...’

Su Xuan rolled over and pounced onto Li Mochou, smiling mischievously. ’When did I ever say that? You must have misheard...’

Before Li Mochou could react, Su Xuan kissed her.

’Mmm...’

Li Mochou suddenly felt a wave of heat wash over her...

One hundred thousand words omitted here...

...

The next afternoon.

Li Mochou slowly opened her eyes. Looking at her lover still sound asleep beside her, a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.

A deep sense of happiness welled up in her heart.

At the same time, that familiar feeling of heart palpitations struck again.

Li Mochou’s brows furrowed tightly as she forcefully suppressed the surging blood and Qi within her body.

What was going on? Clearly, after eating the snake gallbladder a few days ago, she should have been fine...

Why had that palpitation returned these past few days...

Was the Poison of the Heartbreak Flower truly without a cure...

Should she tell Xiao Xuan...

No, that Valley Master of Jueqing Valley has no weak martial arts, and he has the Fishing Net Formation to help him...

Forget it, I won’t say anything. Perhaps it will be fine after a few more days...

After all, she had already passed the deadline for the poison to take effect, and she wasn’t dead, was she...

Maybe the Valley Master of Jueqing Valley was just trying to scare her...

Li Mochou propped her jade-like hands on the bed, wanting to get up.

A sharp, tearing pain made her fall back down.

Coincidentally, she fell directly onto Su Xuan.

With this movement, Su Xuan also woke up.

Su Xuan opened his eyes, and for a moment, his gaze met Li Mochou’s.

And so...

By the time Li Mochou woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

Li Mochou pouted her lips and looked at Su Xuan resentfully. ’You bad seed, it’s all your fault~ how are we supposed to travel now~’

Su Xuan narrowed his eyes with a smile on his face. ’This can’t be blamed on me, it was you who...’

Li Mochou’s face flushed with shame. She hid in Su Xuan’s embrace and covered his mouth with her jade-like hand. ’You’re not allowed to say it...’

Su Xuan caught Li Mochou’s hand, tucked it under the covers, and helped her cover up. He smiled and comforted her, ’Alright, don’t be angry. Just rest well today, and we’ll set off tomorrow~’

’Alright~’

Su Xuan got dressed and gave Li Mochou a light kiss on her fair forehead. ’I’ll go get you something to eat. You rest well first~’

’Mm~’

...

Three days later.

The Little Eagle was circling in the sky.

Su Xuan and Li Mochou were walking hand in hand along a small path in the fields.

The two of them talked and laughed as they walked.

As they were walking, Su Xuan suddenly stopped, his brows furrowing slightly.

Li Mochou asked in confusion, ’Xiao Xuan, what’s wrong?’

Su Xuan gently patted Li Mochou’s hand, then looked around and said in a deep voice, ’Who’s there! Come out!’

A hint of confusion flashed across Li Mochou’s eyes as she followed Su Xuan’s gaze.

A young girl of fourteen or fifteen years old walked out from behind a large rock, looking hesitant and shy.

Looking at the young girl before her, Li Mochou’s eyes brightened slightly. ’Lüe, why are you here?’

A hint of confusion flashed through Su Xuan’s eyes. ’Mochou, you know her?’

Seeing Su Xuan’s fierce gaze move away from her, Gongsun Lüe hurriedly threw herself into Li Mochou’s soft embrace. ’Sister Li~’

Li Mochou nodded, her gaze somewhat evasive as she rubbed Gongsun Lüe’s head. ’Lüe, how did you manage to get out?’

Gongsun Lüe glanced timidly at Su Xuan, then took out a Medicinal Pill from her bosom and handed it to Li Mochou, her beautiful eyes full of worry. ’Sister Li, I stole the jueqing pill. Quickly, take it!’

The jueqing pill?!

Isn’t that something from Jueqing Valley? This little girl is Gongsun Lüe?!

When did Mochou get poisoned by the Poison of the Heartbreak Flower?

Su Xuan’s brows furrowed tightly as he said seriously, ’Mochou, what is going on?’

Su Xuan’s serious tone gave Li Mochou a start. Not daring to meet Su Xuan’s gaze, she gave a sheepish laugh. ’Hehe, that...’

Li Mochou fiddled with her fingers, not knowing how to explain.

She couldn’t exactly say she accidentally got poisoned while stealing medicinal herbs for him.

Why did Lüe have to show up at a time like this...

Before Su Xuan could get a clear answer, a loud laugh suddenly came from the distance. ’Hahaha, I knew Sister Li, you were blessed by heaven and definitely wouldn’t die. Quick! Quick! Take the jueqing pill!’

The three of them looked in the direction the voice came from.

They saw a middle-aged man wearing a green robe, with a tall stature, a clean-shaven face, and a small mustache, walking slowly from the distance.

Behind him followed more than twenty people who looked like domestic servants.

The middle-aged man’s gaze remained fixed on Li Mochou, never leaving for a second.

Seeing the newcomer, Li Mochou’s brows furrowed, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes. ’Gongsun Zhi!?’

Gongsun Lüe was startled. ’Father!?’

She quickly buried her small head in Li Mochou’s embrace, trying to hide her presence.

Gongsun Zhi ignored Li Mochou’s disgusted look and urged, ’Sister Li, you have been poisoned for a long time. Quickly take the antidote, don’t...’

As he spoke, Gongsun Zhi suddenly noticed something, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face. ’You brat, who are you?! Let go of Sister Li’s hand for this Valley Master!’
