BXBX NOVEL Chapter 271 - Duped
"Damn it all!"
Zhu Wenqian cursed as she sent multiple waves of spiritual qi out around the cave, causing a huge turbulence.
If it weren\'t for the array formation created by Yang Wei beforehand that absorbed the impact of Zhu Wenqian\'s spiritual qi, then the cave would most likely collapse by now.
Zhu Wenqian was enraged completely as she was not only duped by Yang Wei but also by Fan Ping.
Sometime later, Zhu Wenqian vented enough of her anger as she plopped to the ground.
Her expression was listless as she wondered what kind of crimes she had committed for her to be duped by two con men.
"I only wanted to recover myself a little bit from that dead corpse…" Zhu Wenqian curled her body in a snail-like form as she started tearing up.
"Scoundrel… two shameless scoundrels duping a fine lady like me." Zhu Wenqian muttered as she regretted chasing after Yang Wei.
She was merely enjoying a meal to recover herself but Yang Wei had the nerve to barge and interrupt her meal.
Afterward, Yang Wei began attacking her and then started duping her with his pitiful act.
Time slowly passed by, and Zhu Wenqian continued to think up multiple scenarios that could have happened as she waited for Yang Wei to wake up.
"When will he wake up?" Zhu Wenqian grumbled as she walked around in a circle.
Due to the contract she signed with Fan Ping, she couldn\'t forcefully wake him up as that would count as harming Yang Wei.
She could only wake him up if there was an unexpected situation that required her to do whatever was necessary to rescue him.
Sometime later, Yang Wei slowly opened his eyes as he glanced at the unfamiliar ceiling above him.
"Ungh, my head." Yang Wei clutched his forehead tightly for a brief moment.
Zhu Wenqian still has her spiritual qi lingering in his forehead before it disappeared.
Yang Wei grunted slightly before getting up as he glanced around his surroundings.
His expression became dumbfounded when he saw Zhu Wenqian kicking some rocks around in an angry and pouty manner.
\'W-What is she doing?\' Yang Wei questioned inwardly as he wondered what\'s wrong with him.
Since he was unconscious during the fight between Fan Ping and Zhu Wenqian, Yang Wei was clueless about the current predicament of Zhu Wenqian.
Suddenly, Zhu Wenqian stopped kicking the rock as she halted her movement.
She turned around and glared fiercely at Yang Wei. Yang Wei shuddered when he could feel an intense killing intent emitted from Zhu Wenqian.
Yang Wei swallowed some of his saliva nervously as he took a step back.
Afterward, he retrieved his Lightsbane as he began to question her. "What did you do to me during my unconscious state?"
Zhu Wenqian\'s anger rose further when Yang Wei reminded her about the previous incident.
If looks could kill, Yang Wei would have been pierced multiple times by the dagger sent by Zhu Wenqian\'s eyesight.
Yang Wei started sweating profusely as he wondered silently. \'Why is she even fiercer than before? Who could provoke her further?\'
"Hmph, go die." Zhu Wenqian stomped the ground in anger as she launched herself toward Yang Wei.
Yang Wei narrowed his gaze as he lifted his Lightsbane upward. He was prepared to block her strike even if it\'s hopeless given their strength disparity.
Yang Wei clutched onto the Lightsbane tightly but his expression soon became dumbfounded when Zhu Wenqian suddenly plopped to the ground.
Zhu Wenqian then screamed in agony as she crawled around the ground, shocking Yang Wei for the development.
"W-What\'s going on with her?" Yang Wei muttered as he stepped closer to her at a slow but steady pace.
His guards remained up though as he wasn\'t sure if Zhu Wenqian was faking it or not.
Zhu Wenqian continued to screech an eerie cry as blood started trickling down from her ears.
Yang Wei gasped in horror as he dashed toward her and held her tightly.
"Hey, are you alright?" Yang Wei asked in concern.
\'Wait… Why did I just run toward her without any guard? What\'s happening to my body?\' Yang Wei was dumbfounded at his action.
He had moved unconsciously with a worried expression at his enemy that had tried to kill him.
"You are now connected with her through a contract. Thus, it\'s a given that you would hold some sentimental feelings for her."
A voice echoed throughout the cave, dumbfounding Yang Wei as he glanced at every nook and cranny.
"Who are you?" Yang Wei asked.
"No need to be cautious, little boy." The same voice echoed again. "I\'m Fan Ping, also known as the black pagoda in your body."
"B-Black Pagoda?" Yang Wei raised an eyebrow. His face soon ashen when he recalled the black pagoda back in the mysterious realm.
\'A-Are you that miniature pagoda who kicked me and Elder Jing out?" Yang Wei stuttered as he asked.
Fan Ping remained silent.
Yang Wei twitched his mouth at the silent treatment as he began to wonder how the black pagoda managed to escape the mysterious realm.
"Anyway, this isn\'t the important factor." Fan Ping said as he continued, "Currently, Zhu Wenqian is suffering from a backlash and there\'s a pill container in her hand. Can you see it?"
Yang Wei nodded his head as he saw a white pill container being held tightly by Zhu Wenqian.
"Open the pill container and feed her the pills. Afterward, inject some of your spiritual qi to stabilize her condition. She had been weakened previously and overused her technique which caused the backlash." Fan Ping instructed.
Although a bit confused by the current situation, Yang Wei decided to listen to Fan Ping.
He grabbed the pill container from Zhu Wenqian\'s hand and opened it.
\'Such strong medicine aroma.\' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly when he smelled the aroma emitting from the pill.
Yang Wei quickly shook his head as now was not the time to admire a pill.
Yang Wei retrieved the pill as he fed it into Zhu Wenqian\'s mouth.. He then lifted her upward as he placed his palm on her back to inject his spiritual qi to stabilize her condition.
