Chapter 153 Goddess of the Luo River
"Poisoning? What do you mean? And who are you?"
Ye Mo looked at the white-clad man in front of her with her beautiful eyes, a hint of wariness showing on her jade-like face.
Fu Dongliu glanced at Jiang Yueming's extremely pale face and sighed softly, "The thing is..."
A moment later, Fu Dongliu explained everything to Ye Mo.
"So the poison from APTX748 has already taken effect?" Ye Mo asked again.
She was somewhat skeptical of what Fu Dongliu was saying. A strange man had suddenly appeared and said such unbelievable things.
What? I'm Jiang Yueming's father? That's highly suspicious. Ye Mo doesn't think they look alike at all.
"The poison has taken effect, but there should still be hope for the first attack," Fu Dongliu said after thinking for a moment, his expression somber.
Logically speaking, this poison should be able to turn a person to ashes and completely disappear into the world the moment it enters the mouth.
However, when he saved Jiang Yueming earlier, he accidentally discovered that there was a powerful force within him that was always protecting his heart meridian.
That's why Fu Dongliu had the chance to save him; otherwise, he would have been reduced to nothingness within three minutes of taking the poison.
"Perhaps he has his own destiny," Fu Dongliu said, frowning.
According to his speculation, if the mysterious power within Jiang Yueming's body takes effect again, he is more than 90% certain that Jiang Yueming will be fine this time as well.
"Wait here a moment, I've detected some antidote herbs nearby, I'll go find them."
After saying that, Fu Dongliu turned around and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the northeast.
Everything that happened felt like a dream, making Ye Mo feel that it was all unreal.
The boy who was saving people just a second ago, how did he become like this now?
Looking at Jiang Yueming's deathly pale face, as if she were an ice corpse, Ye Mo couldn't help but frown, and a single crystal tear slowly flowed from her eyes.
For some reason, seeing Jiang Yueming like this made her heart ache so much, so much…
"Jiang Yueming, do you think I should believe what Fu Dongliu said?"
A bitter taste appeared on Ye Mo's lips. Jiang Yueming's body in her arms grew colder and colder. She felt helpless and confused at this moment.
She didn't know what to do or how to save him.
Thinking back on these past few days, it seems that I was the one taking care of and protecting Jiang Yueming.
But in reality, it was only because Jiang Yueming was by her side that she felt so at ease and knew what she had to do.
Click!
Suddenly, frost formed on Jiang Yueming's skin, her four fingers on both hands began to stiffen, and her body became as cold as an ice sculpture.
"Ah! Jiang Yueming, you..."
A chill seeped through Jiang Yueming's skin and into Ye Mo's delicate body, and the boy in her arms slowly grew cold.
She panicked again!
She can fight and brawl, she can cook and prepare meals, but she just doesn't know how to detoxify!
boom!
A thunderclap suddenly boomed in the sky, and huge dark clouds rolled in and covered the earth in an instant, followed by a torrential downpour.
This made Jiang Yueming's already icy body even colder, and Ye Mo felt even colder.
"Achoo!"
She sneezed, her delicate body trembled, and she gently closed her beautiful eyes, spreading her spiritual power to explore her surroundings.
A moment later, she opened her clear, ethereal eyes, a hint of joy appearing on her face. She sensed a dilapidated house in the southwest where she could take shelter from the rain.
Ye Mo immediately grabbed Jiang Yueming and pulled him towards the southwest, but his body was too heavy, and he accidentally fell hard.
As the clean palm rubbed against the muddy ground, it cut the skin, and a warm stream of blood stained the rainwater on the ground.
But she didn't pay attention to it, only glancing at the wound, and then, enduring the excruciating pain in her hand, she desperately pulled Jiang Yueming's heavy body up and walked forward step by step.
The force applied through her palm naturally caused the wound to tear, and her warm blood flowed faster, instantly staining Jiang Yueming's sleeves red.
Fortunately, Ye Mo managed to help Jiang Yueming up; he was now as heavy as an ice sculpture.
A fierce gust of wind swept past, scattering all of Ye Mo's black hair, and torrential rain gradually soaked her slender body, all while she was being supported by Jiang Yueming.
She felt like she was turning into an ice sculpture; her once rosy and glossy lips had become transparent and colorless.
Braving the cold wind and pouring rain, Ye Mo dragged Jiang Yueming slowly toward the southwest.
Fortunately, the dilapidated house wasn't far from them, and they arrived in no time.
Upon entering the room, Ye Mo disregarded her own soaking wet appearance and immediately began to check on Jiang Yueming's condition.
"How could this happen? Jiang Yueming, don't scare me!"
Upon investigation, Ye Mo discovered that Jiang Yueming's entire body was completely cold, and he had truly become an ice sculpture.
"Jiang Yueming! Jiang..."
"Cold...so cold..." Jiang Yueming's lips suddenly moved.
Upon hearing the sound, a hint of joy flashed in Ye Moqing's eyes. A ball of red flame lotus condensed in her palm and burned, causing the surrounding temperature to rise steadily. Her wet clothes were dried along with the rising heat.
"Are you... feeling better?" Ye Mo asked softly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Jiang Yueming's pale face.
"Cold...so cold..."
Jiang Yueming's bloodless lips moved again.
Ye Mo lowered her eyes to look at the fire lotus in her hand, bit her frosty lips, and hesitated.
The third form of the Sacred Flame in her hand, Ten Thousand Fires Become the Source, has miraculous effects in dispelling cold and detoxifying, but this fire has already merged with her.
To use it on Jiang Yueming, Ye Mo had to remove her upper body clothing and use her gentle body as a guide to tightly embrace him.
But doing so is undoubtedly...
boom!
As Ye Mo hesitated, the thunder and lightning outside came in waves, and the pattering rain made the quiet atmosphere inside seem somewhat oppressive.
"Fine, like you said, you need a reason to save someone."
"Since you already saw it when we first met, what's the harm in showing it to you again?"
As soon as the words fell, Ye Mo closed her eyes slightly, raised the fire lotus with her jade hand, and calmly said, "Sacred Source Flame, Third Form, Myriad Fires Become the Source."
hum!
The fire lotus suddenly expanded, completely enveloping Ye Mo and Jiang Yueming. A light curtain slowly descended, covering the fire lotus, making it impossible to see the scene inside from the outside.
Inside the lotus.
Ye Mo's beautiful eyes trembled slightly as she bit her small lips tightly, a blush rising on her delicate face. Her nimble fingers slowly and carefully unfastened her clothes.
A moment later, she gently lifted Jiang Yueming with her smooth, jade-like arms, burying his head deeply in her bosom, her fair skin flushed red.
"Ouch, that hurts~"
at the same time
Jiang Yueming's consciousness arrived at a coastline. It was sunset, and the seawater seemed to be tinged with gold in the afterglow of the setting sun, appearing exceptionally warm.
Looking out at the boundless sea, Jiang Yueming was wondering where she was when a strong voice suddenly rang out.
"Young man, this is the Sea of Oblivion, jump in and be reincarnated!"
"The Sea of Forgotten Dust?!" Jiang Yueming's pupils constricted sharply, and she exclaimed in shock, "I...I'm dead?"
The Sea of Oblivion is the place where all living beings are reincarnated. Once you jump into the sea, everything in this life is reduced to zero, including the memories of this life.
"Jump, you still have no parents in this life, I know you long for family."
"In your next life, you will be reborn into a family with both parents, and you will also return to your original world. Jump!"
Hearing this sound, Jiang Yueming involuntarily walked to the shore, facing the warm-colored ocean with his eyes lowered and silent.
He did crave family affection and couldn't wait to jump, but he always felt like there was something he hadn't done yet.
The voice seemed to see Jiang Yueming standing blankly on the shore, with no intention of jumping in, and rang out again.
"Jiang Yueming, you were just a pawn in this life. This game is beyond your control. Reincarnation is the best way for you to find peace!"
"The Bureau... Netherworld!" Jiang Yueming was instantly jolted awake, hurriedly taking a few steps back and looking around.
But he couldn't find the speaker. After thinking for a moment, he said, "May I ask who you are, senior?"
"Hmph! You don't need to know, just hurry up and jump down to be reincarnated!"
Hearing the impatient tone in the voice, Jiang Yueming paused and said, "What if I don't jump?"
"Not jumping? Don't you want your parents anymore?"
"No, I do want to, but my parents from this life are still alive, and I want to see them one last time."
"And there's an agreement between me, Chu Yao, and Jiang Han. I can't die now," Jiang Yueming said.
"Jiang Yueming, have you thought this through? You carry a deadly poison and are a key pawn in this game. Do you want to be played by others for the rest of your life?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueming's face turned solemn.
What exactly is this thousand-year-old mystery? Why am I a key pawn in this game? What is the connection between those men in black and the Underworld?
Only now does he realize that there are many questions he hasn't thought through.
In comparison, jumping into the Sea of Oblivion is indeed the best option.
"Okay, then I'll jump," Jiang Yueming said with a smile, rolling her eyes.
"Very well, it's human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm, so jump."
