Chapter 141 Invisible Chill
Chapter 141 Invisible Chill
At this moment, Dongfang Qingmo's mood was as difficult to calm down as the turbulent sea.
The two struggled to get up from the bed and salute Dongfang Qingmo.
Dongfang Qingmo stopped him, "Lie down."
Her eyes gradually turned red, tears welling up in them. Her hands involuntarily clasped Yunmei and Dahua's hands tightly. She asked with a slightly trembling voice, "Yunmei, Dahua, why are you here? I thought... I thought I would never see you again in this life!"
By the end of her speech, she was sobbing.
Sister Yun was already in tears. She sobbed and choked as she spoke, "Miss, ever since we were captured by Erdeni's men at the Eye of Heaven, we have been imprisoned and tortured. At that time, we really thought we would never see you again in this lifetime! Unexpectedly, God has mercy on us and allowed us to meet again here!"
Qian Shuishui frowned in confusion and asked loudly, "What on earth is going on?"
Her eyes, eager to know the truth, were fixed on the two people in front of her.
Yunmei held Dahua's hand tightly, calmed herself down a bit, and began to recount her story. "When we were captured by those bad guys, we didn't even realize what was happening before they whisked us away in the dark. When we regained consciousness, we were horrified to find ourselves locked in a dark, damp, and foul-smelling basement."
Speaking of this, Yunmei couldn't help but shudder, as if she was back in that terrible scene again.
Dahua then added: "Yes, if Miss Qian hadn't discovered us in time and rescued us without hesitation, I'm afraid we don't know what would happen to us now! Thank you so much, Miss Qian!" As she spoke, tears welled up in Dahua's eyes and her voice choked a little.
At this time, Dongfang Qingmo, who had been standing by silently, looked at Qian Shuishui with gratitude and said sincerely: "Shuishui, I really want to thank you this time! Without your help, the consequences would be unimaginable. I will definitely remember this kindness in my heart!"
Qian Shuishui waved her hands with a relaxed expression and replied with a smile, "Oh, it's nothing! The situation was so critical at the time, and I only found out about your whereabouts by chance. Of course, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing, so I quickly found a way to rescue you. We're all friends, so helping each other is only natural! Don't say thank you or not, I'm going to get angry!"
"Besides, the greatest contribution must go to Zi Li! If she hadn't been able to save them, the consequences would be unimaginable. I'm afraid that even if we racked our brains and tried every possible way, we would be helpless!" Qian Shuishui hugged Zi Li in her arms.
Dongfang Qingmo walked forward, stretched out his hand and gently pinched Zi Li's silky smooth little face, saying, "Thank you, lovely little Zi Li!"
Zi Li stuck out her tongue playfully and responded innocently, "No need to be so polite with me! But, Sister Yunmei and Sister Dahua both need a good rest now. They must be exhausted after going through this storm!"
Yunmei was a little hesitant at first, but she couldn't help but ask, "Miss, where are Chunhua and Qiushi? Why is Qingliu the only one here?"
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere around them instantly became solemn, as if shrouded by an invisible chill.
Yunmei's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Could it be that the other sisters had also met with accidents and been injured?
Everyone's faces turned very ugly, and for a moment no one dared to say another word, for fear of receiving bad news.
The whole scene was as cold as the dead of winter, extremely cold.
Dahua's eyes widened and she asked in a trembling voice, "Yes, did something happen to them?"
However, when the words came to his lips, they seemed to be choked by something and he could not continue.
Her heart was filled with fear and anxiety, and an ominous premonition hung over her like a dark cloud.
Dongfang Qingmo slowly lowered his head and looked at his feet, as if they were carrying a heavy burden.
She was silent for a long time before she uttered a word softly: "Hmm."
This simple syllable hit the two people's hearts like a heavy hammer.
When Yunmei heard the news, her face turned pale instantly, her lips trembling. She wanted to say something, but could only utter a vague cry of surprise: "This, this!"
Tears welled up in my eyes uncontrollably, and in a blink of an eye, my face was covered in tears.
Dahua also couldn't accept this fact. She shook her head, her eyes full of disbelief, and muttered to herself, "How could this happen! How could this happen!"
Dongfang Qingmo walked silently to Yunmei, reached out and patted her shoulder gently, then carefully tucked the quilt for them.
Her movements were gentle yet firm, as if she wanted to give them some comfort and strength in this way.
"You guys should have a good rest first, we still have to travel tomorrow." She said softly.
Sometimes, if some things are not mentioned or thought about deliberately, people may not feel so painful and sad.
But once these things are placed in front of you, the deep sadness is like a flood that breaks through the dam, surging and completely drowning you.
Qian Shuishui sighed, "Yeah! Now is not the time to think about these things!"
She also tried hard to restrain herself from thinking about it, otherwise she would have gone to An Wuhen and fought him to the death.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Zi Li broke the deadlock, "Sister Yunmei, Sister Dahua, Sister Chunhua and Sister Qiushi may be gone, but they must hope that you will live well."
After hearing this, Yunmei and Dahua raised their heads slightly.
Yunmei clenched her fists, "Miss, who harmed them?"
A trace of hatred flashed across Dongfang Qingmo's eyes, "An Wuhen!"
Qian Shuishui was indignant, "This debt must be recovered."
Dongfang Qingmo nodded, "But now we are not strong enough, so we need to be patient. But I, Dongfang Qingmo, swear that I will not let their sacrifice be in vain."
Yunmei wiped her tears and said, "Miss, you are right. We must cheer up."
Dahua also responded.
They chatted like this for a long time.
In the end, Qingliu stayed to take good care of Yunmei and Dahua to ensure that they could recover safely.
Dongfang Qingmo led Qian Shuishui back to her own room very carefully.
After entering the room, the three of them sat down.
Dongfang Qingmo sat at the table, tapping the surface lightly with his index finger. He spoke thoughtfully, "Zili, I've successfully obtained both the Heart Blood and the Dragon Roar Sword. But for some reason, the Heart Blood vanished without a trace before it even reached my hands. Please ask Qingli to see how much he knows about this."
After hearing this, Qian Shuishui sat down aside and waited quietly for further developments.
Zi Li, however, looked embarrassed. She scratched her head and muttered, "Oh, sister, for things like this...it's better for you to ask Brother Qing Li in person!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingli appeared in the room.
Qingli stared at Dongfang Qingmo, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so quick and get the things so quickly!"
There was a hint of surprise and admiration in his words.
Qian Shuishui raised her face proudly and shouted triumphantly, "Of course, don't underestimate our Qingmo! Humph, I think even Huangfu Yi must have a crush on our Qingmo!"
After saying that, he blinked at Dongfang Qingmo, as if hinting at something.
After hearing this, Dongfang Qingmo just smiled slightly and didn't say much. Instead, he turned around and repeated to Qingli what he had just said to Zili.
She hoped that Huangfu Yi would also have a good impression of her, but unfortunately he didn't.
After Qingli listened quietly, her eyes fell on Dongfang Qingmo's outstretched hand and she said softly, "Please extend your hand."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qingmo slowly extended his right hand without hesitation.
