Chapter 987 Spirit Reviving Grass

It was already evening. However, the moon in the sky was very bright. The bright moonlight swathed the entire forest and mountains in a silvery hue.

The forest in the mountains was dense. There were strange stone formations everywhere. They were walking in the air and didn’t care about what was under their feet at all. They looked very much like an ordinary couple out for a walk.

“It’s so beautiful here!” Niu Cuihua took Qin Haodong’s arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. “Hubby, I wish I could be with you forever.”

Qin Haodong could only choose to remain silent at this moment. The other party was the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect. Who knew when she would regain her memory and when she would unsheathe her sword against him?

Niu Cuihua raised her head and looked at him with her beautiful big eyes. Then, she said, “Hubby, why are you not talking? Don’t you like me?”

“No, I like you very much!”

Qin Haodong’s words were sincere. During the time they were together, Niu Cuihua had given so much to him. It was impossible for him not to like her.

However, what he liked was the present Niu Cuihua, not the former First Elder of the Ghost King Sect. He couldn’t explain it clearly.

Niu Cuihua smiled sweetly, but then said pitifully, “Why do I always feel that you will leave me? You are obviously at my side, so why do I feel that way?”

Qin Haodong said, “Well, that’s all in your head.”

“Okay!” Niu Cuihua nodded. Suddenly, she pointed to a cliff and said, “Hubby, I like that flower. Can you pick it for me?”

Qin Haodong followed her finger and saw a tall cliff ahead. There was nothing but a yellow plant on the steep cliff.

Different from ordinary plants, this plant had yellow stems and leaves and a small green flower. What’s more, this kind of green was extremely rare and not bright.

“Hubby, please! It looks special. I like it very much!”

With Niu Cuihua’s cultivation, she only needed to wave her hand to pick this flower.

However, she was no different from ordinary girls. She hoped that her beloved person could present this flower to her as a gift.

Qin Haodong flew to the edge of the cliff and reached out his hand to pick the yellow plant carefully.

Suddenly, there was a flash of joy in his eyes. “Spirit Reviving Grass!”

Spirit Reviving Grass was an extremely rare herb. Its greatest effect was its ability to repair the damaged Spirit.

This kind of herb usually grew in a place rich in Spiritual Qi and fire elements, so it was rarely seen ordinarily. The environment next to Rosefinch Spiritual Spring happened to meet these two conditions.

After confirming that it was the Spirit Reviving Grass, Qin Haodong felt overjoyed. With it, his damaged Spirit could recover quickly.

Niu Cuihua also flew to Qin Haodong’s side and said expectantly, “What’s wrong, hubby? Put it on my head quickly.”

Qin Haodong did not mention that this plant was Spirit Reviving Grass. Although it could cure the damaged Spirit, he did not dare to use it on Niu Cuihua.

If he really cured her Spirit, she would regain her memory, then, he would be in big trouble.

He plucked the green flower and carefully inserted it into Niu Cuihua’s hair. At the same time, he secretly put away the stems and leaves and intended to use them to repair his damaged Spirit when he went back.

Niu Cuihua stood there quietly. When Qin Haodong was done, she said happily, “Hubby, do I look beautiful with this flower?”

“Beautiful, very beautiful,” Qin Haodong said sincerely.

Niu Cuihua had a delicate and charming face, white skin, and long black hair. Adorned with this green flower, she looked very beautiful.

“It’s good that I look beautiful. I’ll always wear it on my head. When I see it, I’ll think of you, hubby.”

After that, she set up a formation on the flower, which would keep the flower in a state of perpetual bloom.

“Hubby, I’m so beautiful. Why don’t you kiss me?”

Feeling Niu Cuihua’s deep affection, Qin Haodong lowered his head and kissed her. Their lips pressed together.

After a period of time, their lips slowly separated. Niu Cuihua was flushed, like a shy wife.

After that, they wandered around the mountains for a while. Seeing that the night was getting dark, they returned to the camp to sleep.

Qin Haodong returned to his tent and took out the Spirit Reviving Grass. After refining it simply, he swallowed it.

Soon, there was a cool feeling in his brain. After a while, he tried to communicate with the Seven Storeys Pagoda.

In an instant, his figure vanished from where he stood. He had entered the seventh floor of the pagoda.

“Alright, it looks like my damaged Spirit has recovered.”

Qin Haodong was very happy. The Seven Storeys Pagoda could save him at a critical moment. It was really a good thing for him.

After confirming that his Spirit had recovered, he returned to the tent to sleep.

The next morning, Qin Haodong suddenly woke up with a start. For some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Right at this moment, someone outside shouted, “The people of Tortoise Academy, come out!”

Qin Haodong immediately recognized Li Mengyao’s voice. What did she mean? Was this woman crazy? How could she come here and make trouble for him?

Logically speaking, the Dragon Academy was in fourth place and didn’t have the qualification to come to the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring Why was she here?

Qin Haodong was full of doubts. He opened the door and walked out. At the same time, Luo Dongqing, the Little Witch, and the others also walked out and stood side by side.

When he went out, he found that the people of the Tortoise Academy were surrounded by nearly 100 people. The weakest of them was at the early stage of the Combination Realm.

The people from the Dragon Kingdom were standing right in front of them. In addition to Li Mengyao and her teammates, there were two old men.

These two exuded a strong momentum, indicating that they were masters at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm.

Around them, Rosefinch Kingdom’s Liu Hong, Liu Xiaofu, and the Tiger Kingdom’s Song Tian were also looking at them with hostility.

Other than these people, there were about a hundred guards from various kingdoms.

Seeing this situation, Luo Dongqing asked sullenly, “Everyone, what does this mean?”

Liu Hong said, “Director Luo, I’m gonna ask you. When did your Tortoise Academy collude with the people of the Ghost King Sect?”

Luo Dongqing said, “You’re talking nonsense! Our Tortoise Academy is always aboveboard. Why would you say that?”

Qin Haodong didn’t have time to tell him that Niu Cuihua was the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect, so he didn’t know about it.

“Really?” Liu Hong said to Li Mengyao, “Your Highness, explain the matter clearly.”

Li Mengyao took two steps forward, pointed at Niu Cuihua, and said, “Do you dare to say that she is not a member of the Ghost King Sect?”

Qin Haodong’s heart sank. He realized what the problem was.

That day, when Niu Cuihua attacked Li Tianba, she used the signature move of the Ghost King Sect, Netherworld Ghost Claw. Li Mengyao must have discovered the problem at that time.

However, this woman was very scheming. She did not make a public announcement at that time. Instead, she called two masters at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm from the Dragon Kingdom and made sufficient preparations before coming over to make trouble for the Tortoise Academy.

His guess was absolutely right. Because Li Tianba was no match for Niu Cuihua, Li Mengyao sent the news back to the Dragon Kingdom that day and urgently summoned two masters at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, Li Tiankuo and Li Tianxiong.

Two days after Li Tianba’s disappearance, she was sure that Li Tianba’s disappearance must have something to do with the Ghost King Sect, so she secretly sought the first prince Liu Hong and told him about this matter. Then, the three kingdoms joined forces to deal with the Tortoise Academy.

Luo Dongqing said with a puzzled face, “How could she be a member of the Ghost King Sect?”

“Director Luo, stop pretending,” Li Mengyao said with a grim look. “That day, she used Netherworld Ghost Claw to defeat our associate director, Li Tianba. Who else can use the Netherworld Ghost Claw but the Ghost King Sect’s people?”

“This…”

Luo Dongqing didn’t know how to deal with it. He turned his head and looked at Qin Haodong and Niu Cuihua.

Seeing so many people targeting her, Niu Cuihua took Qin Haodong’s arm and said, “Hubby, what are they talking about? What does it have to do with me?”

Qin Haodong was thinking about how to deal with it. He knew that today’s crisis would indeed be difficult for him to resolve. If it was only about him and Niu Cuihua, he would not have to be so careful. However, it involved the reputation of the whole Tortoise Academy. He did not dare to act rashly.

Once the Tortoise Academy was confirmed to have ties with the Ghost King Sect, the Tortoise Academy would no longer be able to exist in the entire Lingwu Continent.

Moreover, his side was definitely at a disadvantage. If he couldn’t explain it clearly, Luo Dongqing, the Little Witch, and the others would be implicated by him.

Li Mengyao looked at him and sneered, “Qin Haodong, give me an explanation. Who the hell is this woman?”

Tu Jiaojiao, Murong Jinghong, and the others were very clear about Niu Cuihua’s identity. Seeing that Niu Cuihua would be exposed as the First Elder of Ghost King Sect, they couldn’t help feeling nervous.

Qin Haodong hesitated for a moment and said, “She is my woman. She has nothing to do with anyone else in the Tortoise Academy.”

“That is to say, you are the only one who has colluded with Ghost King Sect?”

Li Mengyao only hated Qin Haodong now. She did not have much hatred for the others in the Tortoise Academy.

She said to Luo Dongqing, “Director Luo, I believe that you were all kept in the dark. Now please step aside. Even if you don’t want to participate in our siege against the Ghost King Sect, don’t come out and make trouble.”

Luo Dongqing said with an anxious face, “How is that possible? There’s no way our Tortoise Academy’s student has colluded with Ghost King Sect.”

He looked at Qin Haodong and said, “Boy, what’s going on? Get this straight quickly.”

Qin Haodong looked at Niu Cuihua who clung to him tightly. At this time, as a man, he could not abandon this woman.

He said, “Director, this matter can’t be explained in a few words. I am responsible for my own actions. It has nothing to do with the Tortoise Academy.”

Luo Dongqing still said in disbelief, “How is that possible? This girl can’t be from the Ghost King Sect, can she? Is there some misunderstanding?”

“Director Luo, he has admitted that. There is no misunderstanding. I hope you won’t get involved.” Li Mengyao waved her hand behind her. “Elders, move!”

Li Tianxiong and Li Tiankuo were prepared. As soon as they heard Li Mengyao’s order, they immediately pounced on Qin Haodong and Niu Cuihua.

Both of them had reached the peak of the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm. None of them was weaker than Niu Cuihua. They attacked Niu Cuihua at the same time with great momentum.

Niu Cuihua pulled Qin Haodong behind her and said, “Hubby, leave quickly.”

After that, she suddenly stretched out her hands and used the Netherworld Ghost Claw again. The huge claw took on the attacks of the two masters at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm.

Being pitted against two people, she naturally couldn’t gain any advantage.

After two muffled bangs, Niu Cuihua retreated more than a dozen steps in succession. Blood gushed from the corners of her mouth. Obviously, she had suffered internal injuries in this confrontation.
