Chapter 40 -38: Saving Him at First Encounter
This man is the craziest of the insane, does he really have to prevent her from leaving?
Qin Qin angrily stared up at Mo Yunchen who towered over her by a full head.
Those strong arms even pulled her directly into an embrace, refusing to let go.
Struggling with all her might again, Qin Qin was just shy of pulling out a knife from her space and finishing him off with a single stroke.
“What on earth do you want? I’ve told you I’m just delivering food!” Qin Qin spat out through gritted teeth, seething with anger.
Mo Yunchen simply locked his gaze on Qin Qin, one hand gripping her while the other hand raised in an attempt to touch her tender, rosy cheek.

Qin Qin turned her head away and finally couldn’t hold back as she forcefully kicked at Mo Yunchen. He, with eyes as dark as obsidian, evaded nimbly and continued to watch her closely.
Qin Qin glared at Mo Yunchen, the first time she truly couldn’t contain her temper, all because this person was inexplicably taking liberties with her.
Turning around, Qin Qin didn’t want to stay here for another moment, she no longer cared about the damn Heavenly Bead.
A painful howl came from behind, and Qin Qin’s steps halted; she bit down on her teeth fiercely, telling herself she hadn’t heard it!
Her hand had already touched the doorknob when the suppressed sound of pain echoed again from behind her.
“Don’t go!”
Qin Qin turned around to see Mo Yunchen, who at some point had collapsed to the ground, kneeling on one knee with one hand on the ground and the other clutching the corner of his clothes. His hand was clutching so tightly that the veins were bulging, and sweat already drenched his perfect, delicate forehead. His teeth biting into his lower lip, he raised his head to look at her, his gaze filled with a plea and an agonizing pain.
What’s wrong with him?!
Seeing the man who had been so powerful just moments ago now collapsed on the ground, Qin Qin started to suspect he was playing possum. They were strangers after all; he surely wouldn’t resort to such an extreme measure just to make her stay, would he?
Looking at his pale, bloodless face and the sweat streaming down his cheeks, it seemed that he was indeed in severe pain.
“Are you okay?” Ultimately, Qin Qin still approached and squatted down in front of Mo Yunchen.
He wanted to raise a smile and tell her he was fine, but the pain was so intense that it left him with no strength. Each outbreak was like tearing his body apart, as if his soul too was being forcefully separated. If it were an ordinary person experiencing this kind of pain once a month, they would probably already harbor thoughts of death.
He couldn’t die, he still had things he needed to do. He hadn’t captured those people yet; how could he possibly die?
He wanted to hold onto it, but those hands no longer had any strength.
Seeing him seemingly in too much pain to speak, a flicker of confusion crossed the depths of Qin Qin’s eyes, and she raised her hand to check his pulse.
The next moment, Qin Qin’s eyes widened in shock, releasing Mo Yunchen’s hand.
“Soul Devouring!”
How could it be Soul Devouring?!
Soul Devouring was a poison she had developed right before she died in her previous life. She had just created it and hadn’t had time to develop an Antidote before her senior sister had killed her.
She never expected that, a thousand years later, Soul Devouring would still exist. She remembered telling her senior sister about Soul Devouring right before she died, so if anyone had it, it would only be her senior sister. But after a thousand years, she didn’t know what had happened and couldn’t be sure that this Soul Devouring came from her sister.
Moreover, the Soul Devouring she developed was only three beads. After a thousand years, how could there possibly still be any left?!
Could it be that someone developed a Soul Devouring similar to hers?! But that’s absolutely impossible; the symptoms, as well as the pulse she felt, were identical to those of Soul Devouring.
Moreover, she was confident that she was the only one under heaven capable of concocting Soul Devouring.
Her senior sister in the Ghost Doctor Sect was skilled in medical arts, but she was not only proficient in medical arts but also had a talent for Poison Arts, which is why she managed to concoct Soul Devouring, the most toxic poison known.
Forget it, no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t figure it out, after all, a lot of time had truly passed!
However, who on earth was this man that someone bore him such hatred to feed him such a vicious Soul Devouring poison, not allowing him to die quickly but making him live a fate worse than death?
Nevertheless, logically, he had been afflicted with the Soul Devouring for at least a decade, whereas her Soul Devouring could only allow a person to live for at most five years.
That was the maliciousness of the Soul Devouring; it didn’t allow one to live long after a fate worse than death.
Qin Qin couldn’t understand how this man had managed to hold on for so many years without dying. What was going on?!
Qin Qin’s gaze darkened as she looked toward the man’s neck, where a delicately boned collarbone was strung with a transparent bead the size of a marble on a necklace. It was just that the bead’s luster was somewhat dim now. Just a moment ago she had only paid attention to the man’s good looks and hadn’t noticed the bead he wore.
“Master, that’s the Heavenly Bead! But why has this Heavenly Bead turned out like this? And I can feel that its power is dispersed. How could this be?” Xiao Fong said from inside the space, puzzled.
In her memory, the Heavenly Bead was as big as a Luminous Pearl, but now this Heavenly Bead was only the size of a marble!
“What do you mean?! What does ‘power dispersed’ mean?”
“I’m not very clear either. I only feel that the power of the Heavenly Bead in front of us is too weak now. Otherwise, it couldn’t possibly have become like this! It’s as if this Heavenly Bead has been divided into several parts, which has resulted in the insufficiency of power in the bead we see, so the Heavenly Bead cannot suppress the effects of the poison in this man.”
Qin Qin narrowed her eyes, looking at the Heavenly Bead on the man’s neck, “You mean to say that this man has been able to live until now because of this bead?”
No wonder he originally had only a few years to live, and now he has managed to extend his life by so much more.
This Heavenly Bead is indeed miraculous!
“However, looking at this Heavenly Bead, it seems it can only allow this man to live for another half a year at most.”
Half a year?! She hadn’t expected such an exceptional man to have only six months to live, of course, that was before meeting her.
Qin Qin lifted the corners of her lips, then suddenly leaned toward Mo Yunchen, “How about we discuss a deal?”
Mo Yunchen was in so much pain that he was nearly unconscious, and it was precisely this bone-marrow and soul-deep pain that kept him from succumbing to unconsciousness, “Whatever you want… I’ll give it to you.”
He didn’t want her to discuss it with him; he would give her anything she wanted.
Qin Qin’s eyes deepened—this man was actually so generous! And he could not deny that his words moved her. She seemed to hear her heart beat faintly, very lightly, but it truly beat for this man.
Observing the man biting his lower lip so hard that it bled, a dark color flashed in Qin Qin’s eyes—this man was indeed strong.
Taking out the Silver Needle and a Life-Extending Pill from her space, Qin Qin held the Life-Extending Pill up to Mo Yunchen’s mouth, “Eat it!”
Mo Yunchen looked at the brownish pill in front of him and, without asking, opened his mouth and swallowed it directly.
Qin Qin watched as he unhesitatingly swallowed the Life-Extending Pill, “You’re not afraid it’s poison?”
Mo Yunchen’s phoenix eyes locked onto Qin Qin, flashing a thin smile, “Even if it were poison, I would eat it!”
“You…” Why did she feel a sense that she couldn’t dare to look directly into his eyes?
Qin Qin didn’t pay Mo Yunchen any more attention, immediately took out a Silver Needle, and said, “That was a Life-Extending Pill, consider it an exchange for that bead of yours, your bead can protect your life for at most another six months, my Life-Extending Pill can also give you an extra month. Plus, I’ll control the Soul Devouring in your body to one corner with my needles in a moment. If you’re lucky, perhaps you could live another year or so. You’re not at a loss! I’ll regard that bead as my compensation.”
