Chapter 1822 Water Dragon's Chant 25
Seeing that Tang Lizhi was looking at her and was no longer the same "person" as Ye Mo, Jiang Xinxin seized the opportunity to grab Tang Lizhi's hand and pulled her directly out of Ye Mo's soul fragments. "Do you know that you were almost devoured by Ye Mo? If you had been devoured by Ye Mo, he might have even had the opportunity to completely replace you. What would have happened to Fang Zhou then? How would you have avenged Liu Yan?"
Jiang Xinxin's string of grumbling sounds like concern to Tang Licheng, which touches his heart. Even the once desolate sea of consciousness becomes vibrant, especially around Jiang Xinxin, which quickly becomes a riot of flowers, with butterflies and bees of all colors fluttering around.
Jiang Xinxin is certainly not someone who is easily pleased, but she also knows that this is already Tang Lizhi's limit.
When Tang Licheng woke up, Jiang Xinxin rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and said, "Didn't you come to rescue someone? How come you didn't find the person and instead got yourself stuck at the bottom of this cliff?"
Tang Lizhi struggled to her feet, looked at the smooth stone wall beside her, and said, "I didn't fall off the cliff, but rather I had a hallucination. I saw Xiao Shi fall off the cliff, so I quickly followed to try and save him. But when I reached the bottom, Xiao Shi disappeared..."
"Now it seems that this place is probably the burial place of Que Yin Yang. I just don't know what method he used when he died to preserve his memories. The illusion we just experienced was probably Que Yin Yang's real memories."
As she spoke, Tang Lizhi secretly stared intently at Jiang Xinxin, but still couldn't hide the caution in her voice: "Princess, do you think Ye Mo is pitiful? He slaughtered an entire Gu Mo Kingdom, does that necessarily make him hateful?"
Jiang Xinxin sighed softly and said to Tang Lizhi, "Ye Mo is certainly pitiful, but slaughtering an entire Gu Mo Kingdom is not necessarily hateful. I don't know how unbearable the pain Ye Mo endured by being constantly burned and roasted on the iron pillar, but I know that when faith and hope are shattered, people will definitely go to extremes."
“I know that not everyone in Gu Mo Kingdom is coveting Ye Mo’s extraordinary power, but when people encounter extreme environments, their minds and perspectives become very narrow. They cannot see the innocence of others. Only after all the hatred and resentment in their hearts have been vented can they possibly look back.”
“I would feel sorry for Ye Mo, and I would not think his act of slaughtering the Gu Mo Kingdom was hateful, but I absolutely cannot tolerate the war that Yi Que Yin Yang stirred up in the Central Plains.”
As she spoke, Jiang Xinxin cast a spell, crushing all the divine souls left by the Yin-Yang symbol on that stone wall. She wanted the Yin-Yang symbol to disappear completely!
Jiang Xinxin offered to heal Tang Lizhi's injuries, but Tang Lizhi resolutely refused, saying, "Princess, someone like me isn't worthy..."
It would be strange if Jiang Xinxin believed his words. "You could have said that you were cold-hearted and had no attachments before, but now there are so many people around you waiting for you to go back. How can you say that?"
After saying that, Jiang Xinxin directly pinched Tang Licheng's chin and poured a whole bottle of Peiyuan Pills into his mouth. Tang Licheng felt that these soybean-sized pills melted in his mouth, and a clear warmth immediately rose slowly from his internal organs and gradually spread to his limbs. He couldn't help but raise his hand to feel Fang Zhou's heart crystal and found that even Fang Zhou's heart crystal had calmed down.
After finishing all this, Jiang Xinxin looked up at the top of Baojing Mountain, then turned back to Tang Lizhi, who had just gotten up in a disheveled state, and said with a smile, "Guess whether I'll take a detour from the foot of the mountain or fly straight up?"
Tang Lizhi chose to ignore Jiang Xinxin's question and directly advised, "Princess, let's go back around from the foot of the mountain."
Jiang Xinxin rolled her eyes at Tang Lizhi again, "You can take a detour yourself, I'll just fly up."
After saying that, Jiang Xinxin took off and quickly disappeared into the air, leaving Tang Licheng dumbfounded.
Tang Lizhi chuckled helplessly. Fortunately, his physical strength and magical power had recovered considerably. Moreover, he had left behind a lot of ropes when he came down from the cliff, which were ready-made places to use for leverage. Climbing up would only be a waste of some physical strength and magical power.
However, when Tang Lizhi and Jiang Xinxin returned to their residence together, Tang Lizhi concealed his improved physical condition beforehand. Therefore, when he discovered that the divine doctor in front of him was the personal maid of Princess Xiya of the Gumo Kingdom, which was destroyed by Ye Mo, he did not show any abnormality. He respectfully accepted the pills that the divine doctor gave him to help him restore his physical strength and internal energy.
Even if there are only three pills available, after using all three, one can only wait to die.
Tang Lizhi had no objection to the divine physician Shui Duopo, but Jiang Xinxin, the eldest princess of Dayong, could not ignore the now-famous divine physician who was the personal maid of Princess Xiya of Gumo Kingdom.
So at her request, Tang Lizhi led everyone else to leave, giving her and the divine doctor a private space to talk.
The divine physician was quite puzzled by Jiang Xinxin's purpose in coming, but Jiang Xinxin didn't intend to beat around the bush and asked directly, "Divine physician, you seem to have an extraordinary background. From your appearance, you look slightly different from us Central Plains people. May I ask where you come from?"
Over the years, Shui Duopo has integrated into the Central Plains. Her original intention in coming out of the mountain was to refine the antidote for the Nine Hearts of the Ape Demon Pill. However, she did not expect that Jiang Xinxin, a girl, would be more skilled in medicine than her and would make the antidote first, leaving her no chance to improve it. So she simply traveled around and helped many people get rid of their illnesses.
In response to Jiang Xinxin's implied question, Shui Duopo sighed softly and said truthfully, "Princess, you should have heard of the Western Regions' Gumo Kingdom. When I was young, I was Princess Xiya's personal maid in the Gumo Kingdom. Before the Gumo Kingdom was destroyed, although I was a slave, I lived a life of wealth and leisure that many young ladies could not match."
"But later, our king and the nobles, due to greed, provoked someone we couldn't afford to offend. We did some unforgivable things to that person, which aroused his wrath, leading to the massacre of our entire nation. Thus, our country was destroyed, and I could only wander in the Central Plains..."
Seeing that Granny Shui had told her all about her past experiences without reservation, Jiang Xinxin no longer had any ulterior motives towards her. She immediately apologized for her less-than-ideal attitude: "I'm sorry, my attitude was wrong. I suspected you of having ulterior motives from the start."
Grandma Shui was flattered that Princess Jiang Xinxin from the Central Plains would be so easy to talk to and so direct in revealing her feelings: "Your Highness is too kind—"
