Inside the Jade Toad Palace.
Under the peach blossom tree, six people were frolicking and laughing from time to time. Not far away, a figure in white stood there. In the wind, they seemed to have seen him, smiling and waving at him: "Hong Mao, come quickly!" The man in white smiled slightly and walked towards them with his hands outstretched...
Inside the room, in front of the bed, Rainbow Cat sat cross-legged on the bed, with Blue Rabbit sitting behind him constantly transmitting internal energy to him.
Soon, Rainbow Cat slowly opened his eyes. Blue Rabbit was overjoyed: "Rainbow Cat, you're awake!" Rainbow Cat felt weak all over and forced a smile. Blue Rabbit said: "Don't move for now, I'm removing the poison from your body." Rainbow Cat nodded, closed his eyes, but suddenly he felt a familiar true energy flowing through his body, and his eyes snapped open. This feeling... could it be? Blue Rabbit also seemed to notice the change in Rainbow Cat's body, took out the Embroidered Girl Needle, inserted it into Rainbow Cat's acupoints, then pressed several more points, and finally gave him a medicinal pill to swallow.
Then some ground herbs were applied to the needles, and along with the inner force, they were slowly attached to the Rainbow Cat's back. After a while, fine black sweat beads appeared on the Rainbow Cat's body. After a while, Blue Rabbit withdrew his inner force and slowly pulled out the needles from the Rainbow Cat's body, wiping away the toxins that had been expelled. Having done all this, the Rainbow Cat opened its eyes and said: "Blue Rabbit, thank you for your trouble."
Blue Rabbit smiled and said, "Nothing, the poison in your body has been completely eliminated, no big deal." Rainbow Cat placed her right hand on the pulse of her left hand, after a while, she opened her mouth and said, "I feel that the Long Hong True Qi inside my body has increased again."
Blue Rabbit couldn't help but feel a little delighted, although she had also felt it earlier, but wasn't quite sure. Now that Rainbow Cat said so, she was overjoyed: "Looks like you still have to thank Return Feather." Rainbow Cat looked at Blue Rabbit with a puzzled expression. Blue Rabbit smiled lightly: "Thanks to the poison he applied to the needle, your meridians were unblocked, and the toxins reduced the effect of the Not-Old Spring water by a small margin. That's why your Long Rainbow True Qi slowly gathered." Rainbow Cat now understood, picked up the clothes beside her and put them on, saying: "It really is a blessing in disguise."
Blue Rabbit looked at Rainbow Cat with some concern and said, "You just fainted and didn't wake up, I thought the poison on the needle was deadly." Rainbow Cat smiled slightly and said, "Even if it were, I'm not one to die easily. Besides, the master has already explicitly forbidden killing our opponents, something Blue Rabbit should have thought of long ago." Blue Rabbit hesitated for a moment, thinking to herself: Worrying is chaotic indeed. Seeing that Blue Rabbit didn't respond, Rainbow Cat stopped teasing her.
At this time, a knock at the door came from outside: "Lan Tu, Hong Mao is okay again!" Lan Tu listened and walked over to open the door. Outside were faces full of anxiety and worry. Dingdang didn't wait for Xiao Li to speak, grabbed Lan Tu and asked: "Lan Tu, how's Hong Mao?" Lan Tu smiled slightly and said: "She's fine now." Everyone let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this. At this time, Hong Mao had already walked to the door, apologetically saying: "I'm fine now, I made everyone worry." Xiao Li heard this and said: "Hong Mao, as long as you're okay, that's good."
"Dingdang pulled Hongmao's hand and said: 'Hongmao, I was really worried to death just now.' Hongmao smiled lightly and said: 'I'm fine now, and I've even recovered some of my Longhong True Qi.' Really? Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but more than that, they were delighted. This way, their chances of winning had increased again."
"Now that we've won the game, all that's left is the final test. Let's do our best!" Everyone nodded in agreement. After this match, they would have three days of rest, which was sufficient.
At this time, a person walked over from downstairs, wearing purple clothes and walking towards the crowd at the door. To everyone's surprise, it was Lan Shui! Lan Shui's appearance here was unexpected by everyone. Lan Shui politely said: "Turtle Pavilion Master, Pavilion Mistress, I am representing our Sunday Five to give some supplements to Hong Mao and Han Tian among you." As he spoke, he handed over the box in his hand. This move surprised everyone present. Didn't the Sunday Five also win the competition? Logically speaking, they should be opponents, right? How could there be kindness between opponents? Moreover, they had no previous dealings with the Sunday Five, so why would they send supplements to Hong Mao and Han Tian for no reason? Suspicious!
This was the only phrase that flashed through everyone's mind, but it was also very puzzling. Even if they wanted to harm Hongmao and Hantian, they didn't need to use such low-level means. Blue Rabbit had a faint smile on his face, with a hint of vigilance and doubt in his eyes. What did Lan Shui want to do? Gu Jiujiu stood still, unsure whether to accept or not. Shui Lingling pinched him from behind, and only then did Gu Jiujiu say somewhat awkwardly: "Thank you, but..." Just as Gu Jiujiu was about to tactfully decline, Lan Shui interrupted: "Master of the pavilion, this is our heartfelt intention, please accept it. I know you have doubts in your hearts, although we are opponents, can't we appreciate each other?" Appreciate each other? In front of such a huge temptation as the Jingyuan Pearl, who would believe that?! No, even ghosts wouldn't believe it!
The hospitality was hard to refuse, so the nine turtles could only smile and accept: "Then thank you all." Rainbow Cat and Han Tian walked out and clasped their fists in gratitude: "Thank you, Miss Lan Shui." Lan Shui smiled and said: "No need to thank me, since the things have been delivered, I'll take my leave." As she was about to leave, her beautiful eyes seemed to unintentionally glance at Rainbow Cat, which was caught by Blue Rabbit. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly. Blue Rabbit found it very strange, as this behavior would be considered abnormal in anyone's eyes. Although Lan Shui appeared warm and friendly on the surface, ever since their conversation that one time, or when she had a hint of resentment and hostility in her eyes during the poetry contest, Blue Rabbit felt that Lan Shui was not as she seemed on the surface.
In short, her long-standing experience made her vigilant. When Lan Shui walked out of the inn, the doubts on everyone's face finally appeared, and Ding Dang asked first: "What do they mean?" Xiao Li said: "I think the thing is 80% poisonous!" Shui Lingling frowned: "This is unlikely, they won't be so blatant. Maybe we're thinking too much, since it's someone's kind intention, Hong Mao and Han Tian, you can accept it." Hong Mao and Han Tian nodded: "Yes, Master."
On this side, Lan Shui had already left the inn, and the kindness in her eyes had dissipated, replaced by curiosity and complacency. That supplement was indeed flawless, how could she be foolish enough to do something so stupid? She just wanted to take the opportunity to probe into their news, but unexpectedly, when she walked to the stairs, she vaguely heard them standing at the door saying something about "Long Hong Zhen Qi". This piqued her curiosity, could it be that they were really the Seven Chivalrous Heroes? Today on stage, Lan Shui had seen the red true energy surrounding Hong Mao, and she faintly felt that this energy was very powerful, unexpectedly turning defeat into victory.
However, what caught her attention was the expression on Blue Rabbit's face as he supported Rainbow Cat. It wasn't just concern for his companion, but also a hint of worry in his eyes. Lan Shui couldn't help but notice this and raised an eyebrow, thinking that things were getting interesting... In reality, Lan Shui was still jealous, even though Blue Rabbit always smiled warmly at her. She felt that his smile was piercing and made her uncomfortable. When she talked to Blue Rabbit that day, his responses made her want to get angry but couldn't. All in all, it was because Lan Shui's competitive spirit was too strong.
Before long, the day passed and everyone went to bed early due to fatigue. Blue Rabbit suddenly thought of taking out the jade pendant in the courtyard during her amnesia and communicating with Jade Rabbit Fairy under the moonlight. Thinking so, Blue Rabbit came to the courtyard. As soon as she took out the jade pendant, she saw a figure blocking her way, looked up and it was Xiong Jianqiang, accompanied by two followers. "Xiong Jianqiang?" Blue Rabbit wondered in her heart, asking: "Is there anything?" Xiong Jianqiang looked at Blue Rabbit, whose face under the moonlight was beautiful and moving, but after all, could not compare to his Ding Dang.
I heard two followers say that recently, Blue Rabbit and Rainbow Cat's actions always make Dangdang unhappy. Since they can't afford to offend him, they might as well start with Blue Rabbit.
