[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 45

Chapter 45: The Poison is Raging Tide

Hearing the man’s words, Xue Mu was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, “I only know that there are also high mountains in the Western Regions, and snow falls on the high mountains. Could it be that the snow was blown into the desert by the wind?”

“No, no, no!” The man stroked his buzz cut excitedly. “Deep in the desert of the Western Regions, the scorching sun bakes the sand surface. People with delicate skin and tender flesh would lose a layer of skin just touching the sand surface! I was lying in the sand practicing kung fu—”

“Practicing kung fu?” Xue Mu was astonished. “It’s so hot, yet you were practicing kung fu?”

“Don’t interrupt, listen to me slowly—I was lying entirely in a sand pit, with only a pair of nostrils exposed on the surface to breathe. Originally, I was practicing well, and my eyes were closed. But somehow, the sand surface where I was suddenly cooled down. I thought, ‘This is really strange, how could the sand suddenly cool down?’ So I opened my eyes. Guess what I saw?”

Xue Mu shook her head. “Big Brother, tell me quickly. I really can’t guess.”

“I slowly opened my eyes and looked up, only to see a cold light flickering under the sun—looking closely, it was actually countless tiny snowflakes drifting rapidly! I wanted to get up and look at that time, but my practice was interrupted halfway, and my internal breath was unstable. I could only lie there watching those snowy light spots descending and dancing recklessly. That phenomenon was truly strange. Do you know what was even stranger?”

Xue Mu didn’t answer, and the man didn’t expect her answer. He continued on his own, already excited to the extreme.

“I just watched the rare flying snow in the desert like that, thinking that if I talked about this with my two lovers, they would definitely say I was bragging! Saying I was deceiving girls! But it wasn’t like that. I really saw the flying snow! I just watched and watched, thought and thought, and actually saw some complicated but useful patterns in that snow light.”

“Those flying snowflakes scattered at first, then gathered together later. sometimes bright, sometimes dim, sometimes intertwined. Under that scorching sun, it was like a net woven of snowy light spots.”

“I felt the cold air escaping from it. Unknowingly, my gaze locked onto those rapidly changing light spots. I only felt a sharp pain in my eyes and suddenly woke up, thinking that people had gone blind in snowy mountains before. Wouldn’t I also go blind watching these light spots? So I closed my eyes and mobilized my internal breath, no longer looking at those flying snowflakes.”

Xue Mu was already entranced. Seeing the man stop talking, she urged, “Big Brother, what happened later?”

The man grinned. “Later? Later I was too focused on practicing kung fu. When I jumped out of the sand pit again, the flying snow had disappeared! Tell me, isn’t this a strange event?”

Xue Mu said, “It is indeed very magical.” She still hadn’t forgotten to ask about the man’s identity. “Big Brother, then did you come to the Central Plains from the Western Regions?”

“Little Sister, I know you want to know my background.” The man smiled. “Seeing that you are willing to listen to me today, I will teach you a move to let you absorb the Raging Tide Poison in your own body.”

Xue Mu was stunned. She saw the man suddenly grab her left wrist, placing his thumb on the “Shenmen Acupoint,” and internal force had already been expelled!

Xue Mu was shocked, but controlled by his internal force, she dared not move recklessly.

The internal force expelled by the man traveled up from the “Shenmen Acupoint” along her entire Heart Meridian of Hand-Shaoyin to the “Jiquan Acupoint.” The other guests were attracted by the music on the high stage. Except for a few Guardian Stars, no one paid attention to the corner near the main gate.

“The Raging Tide Poison is insidious and vicious. It often falls on adult men, killing them instantly. If it’s a woman, she will also suffer for three days with burning body and heart before dying. You, Little Sister, were poisoned too early, and you have a Primordial Yin body… Mm, back then, cold water must have soaked your whole body in time to alleviate the toxicity of the Raging Tide Poison, so you could catch your breath.”

The man spoke in a deep voice, but very softly, just enough to reach Xue Mu’s ears.

“The most insidious point of the Raging Tide Poison is that if it enters the heart vessels and the toxicity reaches the ‘Danzhong Acupoint,’ the qi stagnates and needs to be vented. This heat will make your mind chaotic. If you meet the one you love, the tide of passion will surge, producing an evil fire, burning the body and then the heart.”

“Little Sister, I’ll tell you two mantras to let you absorb this toxic power.” He said, “There are only two ways to solve the Raging Tide Poison: absorb this poison yourself, or seek others to help you dissolve it.”

While he was speaking, that internal force had already finished circulating through the meridians of Xue Mu’s whole body, and he released his hand.

Xue Mu only felt that wherever that internal force went, the Fire Poison that had been faintly surging in her body actually quieted down completely. She was both surprised and delighted. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the man whisper two mantras. She hurriedly recited them silently four or five times to memorize them by heart, and secretly mobilized her internal breath to practice along with the mantras. Sensing that the Fire Poison in her body indeed dared not act recklessly, while the Heart-Devouring Gu was restless again, she circulated the Ling Heart Secret Technique in her heart vessels.

Although she was grateful that the man taught her the mantras, she was also suspicious.

“How could Big Brother… how could Big Brother know what this Fire Poison of mine is?” She whispered, “What exactly is the Raging Tide Poison?”

The man smiled and only said, “Little Sister, I taught you the mantras, so you can’t question my background anymore. However, I can guarantee you that I have nothing to do with the person who poisoned you. Fifteen years ago, I was still entangled with my two lovers in the Western Regions. How could I have the mind to practice kung fu, let alone kill people?”

Xue Mu was uncertain, but finally clasped her fists and said, “Please tell me your name, Big Brother. Little Sister will definitely host a grand banquet for you!”

The man thought for a moment and said, “Just call me Wu Qing (Mist Clear). I used to be a Dharma King, but later I really didn’t want to do it anymore, so I left. Later I met my two lovers and entangled with them in the Western Regions for another four or five years. After I left the Western Regions, I stayed in Bashu, Lingnan, and Jiangnan for two or three years each, and only now came to the Central Plains.”

Xue Mu pondered for a moment and said, “‘Wu Qing’… did Big Brother take a character from each of the two lovers’ names?”

Wu Qing laughed heartily. “Haha, yes! Little Sister is truly clever. Grudges of the Jianghu can be forgotten, but feelings are like white waves, surging repeatedly on the tip of the heart, lingering for a long time!”

Thinking of Dugu Yuan’an, Xue Mu secretly agreed with him in her heart.
