Chapter 140 Leng Feng's Cruelty
Chapter 140 Leng Feng's Cruelty
Night fell, and the ancient Qi family mansion was shrouded in silence.
The chill of deep winter seeped into the bones, and a man in black remained hidden in the darkness.
The mansion was dimly lit, and patrolling guards walked in the courtyard, occasionally whispering among themselves.
The man in black tiptoed through the corridor, successfully avoiding all sight thanks to his years of experience and agility.
Finally, he arrived at the room where Qiu Ziyue was staying.
The window was half-closed, letting in a faint candlelight.
The man in black gently pushed open the window and climbed inside.
The room was filled with a faint sandalwood scent, and it seemed as if someone was lying on the bed.
He slowly approached, his heart racing.
"Twilight Sparkle, I've come to take you away."
As the man in black spoke, he approached the bedside.
Immediately afterwards, the figure on the bed leaped up, moving with lightning speed.
The man in black looked closely and realized it was Liu Qingluo.
"So you finally came?"
Liu Qingluo said coldly, her long sword already drawn, gleaming with a cold light.
Before Leng Feng could answer, Liu Qingluo had already attacked with her sword.
The two clashed instantly, their swords flashing and their battle raging fiercely.
The man in black knew he had to act quickly, or the consequences would be dire if his whereabouts were exposed.
However, at this critical moment, several more figures appeared outside the door.
The lanterns were lit, illuminating the figures of Lu Yuanchangming, Qi Yuxuan, and Yin Lihen.
They were clearly prepared.
"Leng Feng, you've finally arrived."
Lu Yuan sneered, his eyes filled with hostility.
Leng Feng's heart sank, realizing that tonight's operation had failed.
But he did not give up the fight and continued to fight fiercely with the group.
However, the enemy had a large number of people and quickly formed an encirclement.
The group worked together seamlessly, and after a few moves, the man in black gradually found himself at a disadvantage.
"stop!"
Qi Yuxuan shouted, and everyone stopped and surrounded Leng Feng.
Leng Feng looked around and realized that he had nowhere to retreat.
Qi Yuxuan held a long sword, the tip of which was pointed directly at his throat.
Lu Yuanchangming and Yin Lihen stood on either side, watching intently.
Qi Yuxuan looked at him with a serious expression, as if he already knew everything.
"Leng Feng, we all know why you came here this time."
“Brother Lu, it turns out you were right, Leng Feng really is coming,” Qi Yuxuan said.
“How did you guess I would come?” Leng Feng said.
When Lu Yuanchangming took Qiu Ziyue's pulse, he discovered that Qiu Ziyue's internal injuries had been completely healed, but she had been poisoned by a hallucinogenic drug that could make people obedient.
Qi Yuxuan asked, "Then what should we do?"
Lu Yuanchangming said that, given Leng Feng's personality, he was in love with Ziyue.
It's unlikely he'll return to the grasslands alone; he'll just have to wait for Leng Feng to come and walk right into his trap.
"Tell me quickly, what medicine did you give Ziyue that made him suffer so much?" Qi Yuxuan asked.
As the lights gradually brightened, Leng Feng's face appeared even more resolute, but also revealed a hint of helplessness.
"Where is Ziyue?" Leng Feng asked, his gaze resolute.
Qi Yuxuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, she's safe now."
“If you really love Twilight Sparkle, you shouldn’t watch her suffer so much. Quickly bring me the antidote,” Lu Yuan said.
Leng Feng smiled bitterly, his eyes filled with a hint of helplessness and determination.
He slowly raised his head and looked directly at the crowd in front of him.
"I simply added datura, cactus, and poisonous mushrooms to her detoxifying water to make her obey me and return to the grasslands with me to get married."
Leng Feng's voice was deep and firm, as if he were telling a story of an unchangeable destiny.
Qi Yuxuan frowned, a flash of anger and confusion in his eyes: "What? Why did you do this?"
Leng Feng's eyes deepened, and his voice carried a hint of sorrow: "What else could it be? I want Qiu Ziyue to stay with me forever and never leave me. She is the only thing I care about, and I don't care about the means."
Lu Yuanchangming sneered, his tone full of disdain: "Enough nonsense, hand over the antidote! Your despicable methods will only make you lose more."
Leng Feng was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained his composure.
“There’s no antidote. My medicine can only relieve her headache,” Leng Feng said, taking out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket. The bottle contained a clear liquid.
"The pain medication is here."
Leng Feng raised the porcelain bottle high, his voice still calm, "But I have one condition."
Qi Yuxuan and Yin Lihen became alert at the same time, and Liu Qingluo also gripped her sword tightly, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
"What are the conditions?" Qi Yuxuan asked coldly.
Leng Feng gazed in Qiu Ziyue's direction, his voice tinged with tenderness and reluctance: "Let me see her one last time, just once. Then, I will personally hand over the pain-relieving medicine to you."
Lu Yuanchangming sneered and was about to refuse when Qi Yuxuan stopped him.
Qi Yuxuan knew Leng Feng's personality well and knew that forcing him might backfire.
“Okay.” Qi Yuxuan nodded in agreement.
Leng Feng nodded.
He followed Qi Yuxuan and the others to the room where Qiu Ziyue was.
The room was dimly lit, and a faint herbal scent filled the air.
Qiu Ziyue lay quietly on the bed, her face as pale as snow.
Leng Feng approached the bedside and softly called, "Yuqing..."
Qiu Ziyue slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion and unfamiliarity.
Upon seeing Leng Feng, her expression faltered slightly before returning to calm.
“Ziyue, it is me, Yelü Chengyuan.”
Leng Feng's voice was choked with emotion, "I'm sorry, I can't take you with me."
Qiu Ziyue shook her head gently, as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't bring herself to say it.
Leng Feng took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and carefully fed it to her.
"The antidote has already been given to her."
Leng Feng turned to face Qi Yuxuan and the others, his expression resolute. "This medicine can only relieve the pain. I haven't formulated an antidote yet, and I may never have one in my lifetime."
"Why?" Qi Yuxuan asked.
"Because I've already killed the old man from the Demon Spring who could concoct medicines," Leng Feng said.
“You’re really ruthless,” Lu Yuanchangming said.
"A great man must be decisive and efficient to achieve great things. Before she lost her memory, Twilight Sparkle wrote a letter. She wanted to return to your arms after her internal injuries were healed."
“I burned that letter and replaced it with a new one. I lied to her and said I was her fiancé,” Leng Feng said with a cold laugh.
"And then what did you do to Twilight Sparkle and the Old Man of the Magic Spring?" Qi Yuxuan asked.
"Then, my godfather, the Old Man of the Demon Spring, found out and gave me a long lecture, saying that I shouldn't have done that."
"Why don't you listen to your godfather?" Lu Yuanchangming asked.
“I thought about listening to him, but every time I heard Qiu Ziyue calling out Yu Xuan’s name while she was healing, I went crazy. So I added hallucinogenic substances to the spring water where she was healing. Ziyue became more and more gentle and she became more and more dependent on me.”
Leng Feng spoke with a somewhat distorted expression.
"You're worse than an animal," Qi Yuxuan said angrily.
"Then, my godfather, the Old Man of the Magic Spring, discovered that I had added hallucinogens to the hot spring and severely reprimanded me for doing so."
“So I was furious, I drew my longsword and killed him, then buried him in the Demon Spring Palace,” Leng Feng said coldly.
“You are utterly inhuman,” Qi Yuxuan said.
