Chapter 181 The truth comes out
The effect of the sandalwood and mantra pill was developed by Qiuqiu and Xuejian in the past three months. Gu Hao used this thing to make Fan Jingan confess all his crimes. Wouldn't Qiuqiu be able to imitate him?
Xuejian was also accidentally tricked during the experiment, and his true nature was completely exposed. He no longer maintained his aloofness and shamelessly followed Qiuqiu and his wife. The image of the cold and arrogant medical immortal was gone forever.
Xue Jian was relatively merciful. He quickly took out a bottle of high-end wine and poured it over Zhu Yan. "This way, it's easier to expose your true intentions. Just a friendly reminder: when you crush the pill, you must hold your breath. It's best to wear an air shield. Bring it here about a quarter of an hour after you smell the scent for the best results."
Zhu Yan always felt a little weak when facing Qiuqiu. After all, his baby was still in her belly, so he unconsciously did what Qiuqiu asked.
He came to the edge of a cliff, sent a communication talisman, took out a bottle of wine, and started drinking alone. In less than a quarter of an hour, Wu Cen in purple clothes arrived.
Wu Cen looked at Zhu Yan's profile infatuatedly and slowly approached: "Venerable Zhu Yan, you are here again missing Xiao Qian. Xiao Qian did all this willingly. My cultivation is not as good as my sister's, otherwise my demon pill would be more beneficial to the bloodline left by my sister."
As he spoke, he lowered his head sadly. He didn't take the strong smell of alcohol seriously. Every time he left the retreat, Zhu Yan would drink here to commemorate her good sister.
Zhu Yan didn't even blink as he said coldly, "No need. I've already obtained Qing Heng's entire demon core and placed it in your sister's dowry box. I used the Suzaku Origin Fire, taking advantage of the fact that fire overcomes wood, to severely injure Qing Heng and have imprisoned him in a secret cell. He can't die now. The Azure Dragon Clan isn't jealous either. If Qing Heng died in my hands, it would trigger a war between the two clans."
"His human wife knows nothing and is still nursing her baby. Once she gives birth, I'll hold the cub in my hands. It might be useful in the future. Go and retrieve the demon pill and replace the core of the vitality formation. I need to return to the secret place to recuperate."
Zhu Yan said so much just to let Wu Cen smell the pills more, so he performed very hard.
Zhu Yan, who usually treats me coldly, said so much to me. This is the first time that he explained to me his intentions and reasons for doing so. Does this mean that my status in his heart is a little higher?
As time was running out, Wu Cen was still in a daze. Zhu Yan decided to go first and disappear. Wu Cen then flew to Zhu Yan's cave.
She observed in the dark and found that the powerful Qing Heng was indeed nowhere to be seen. Even the doctor was nowhere to be seen. There was only a woman with a big belly lying on the swing under the tree, taking a light nap.
Wu Cen generously activated the formation and came to Qiuqiu's side, gently asking, "Madam, if you need anything, please tell me. Your husband has entrusted you to the care of our Honorable Zhu Yan, and we will do our best. Your husband was so worried about you because you are pregnant. Congratulations."
Qiuqiu felt particularly unhappy when she heard this care that contained sand in her heart. What did her husband mean by caring about her because she was pregnant? He cared about her as a person! She wasn't pregnant at that time!
The sandalwood next to it slowly emitted wisps of green smoke, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Wu Cen's originally restless heart slowly calmed down, and he sat on a tree branch next to him, just downwind of the sandalwood.
Wu Cen asked politely, "Madam, pregnancy must be very difficult. Where is your personal physician?"
Qiuqiu: "After all, I am pregnant with the blood of a divine beast. In the later stages, I need to replenish a lot of spiritual power and foundation. My husband and Doctor Xue have gone to look for it. They will be back in three days at most."
Wu Cen: "Madam, you may not know this, but my twin sister is Zhu Yan's Taoist partner. She died in order to give him an heir." He used gentle words but said the most vicious words.
Qiuqiu seemed to have heard something incredible: "Ah? I haven't heard of it. Qingheng and Zhu Yan are considered geniuses of the same generation. They are the last fighting force of their respective families. They have a good relationship. Otherwise, Qingheng would not have brought me here to recuperate after I was poisoned. If he has an heir, Qingheng would not be unaware of it."
Wu Cen did not answer Qiuqiu's question immediately. Instead, she jumped off the tree trunk and circled around Qiuqiu twice. Qiuqiu had already noticed that she was abnormal and her emotions were fluctuating extremely actively.
Wu Cen first used his spiritual sense to inspect the entire cave, then opened the cave's defenses. He casually took out a chair from his storage ring, sat opposite Qiuqiu, and said forcefully:
"I really envy you females who are held in the palm of your hand by males. My sister and I were born on the same day. She is gifted, while I am mediocre. No matter how hard I try, she always stays ahead of me with just a little practice. We met that powerful man together, and he liked her too, but he didn't even look me in the eye."
As he spoke, he let out a laugh that sounded like crying and complaining: "Haha, she died of exhausted essence when she was three months pregnant. It's really sad." As he spoke of the sad things, his eyes were full of madness.
Qiuqiu still couldn't tell what was going on. Wu Cen's mind was now slowly being controlled by the drugs. Under Qiuqiu's guidance, he spoke out his truest thoughts. Qiuqiu used all the psychology of interrogation taught by the authoritative psychologist invited by Mrs. Desi.
Qiuqiu exclaimed, "How is that possible? Didn't you say your sister is exceptionally talented? I'm just a human in the Nascent Soul stage, carrying twins for the divine beast Azure Dragon. It was only when I was five months pregnant that I felt the immense pressure on my body and couldn't bear it. As long as I replenish nutrition and energy in time, I can still give birth to the cubs. Qingheng's talent is no worse than Zhu Yan's, so the talent gap between their offspring won't be that great, right?"
Wu Cen: "My sister is indeed very talented, but she is only in our Wuque clan. How can she compare with the Azure Dragon and Vermillion Bird, which have the blood of divine beasts? She is too arrogant, you know? She heard from somewhere that in those large human families, in order to give birth to offspring with excellent talents, the mistress of the house will secretly give pregnant concubines a drug that allows the fetus to absorb the mother's vitality and improve the fetus's qualifications. If the dosage is controlled, the concubine will die during childbirth."
Qiuqiu: "She took this medicine on her own and didn't control the dosage well?"
Wu Cen chuckled quietly in her own world until tears came out of her eyes. "She wanted so badly to give Zhu Yan a powerful offspring. As his sister, how could I not help her? I simply told her that she was carrying the blood of a divine beast. Even tripling or quintupling the dosage wouldn't have had any effect. Furthermore, she always felt she wasn't worthy of Zhu Yan, and she wanted to prove her worth. Haha, she increased the dosage tenfold. In less than three months, her body was completely unable to bear children. She was worn out to death."
