1630 He Is That Apothecary
In her daze, she seemed to hear someone speaking by her ear.
"My name is Duanmu Qing. I have already forgotten how old I am. How about you?"
"My name is Qiao Mu, age 20. How long have you been locked up in here?"
"I don't remember anymore. I was only 19 when I got here. I don't know how many years have passed by since then. It must have been at least four to five years…"
While heaving a long sigh, Duanmu Qing also said, "Actually, after living in the dark for so long this whole time, I don't worry that I won't ever see the light again."
"Qiaoqiao, do you still remember what the starlit sky is like?"
"If I can get out…"
"I will definitely spend three days and nights observing that faraway starlit sky."
"Qiaoqiao, promise me one thing okay. Do not die before me."
"It really is too hard to bear it all by myself in the darkness…"
As Qiao Mu crouched on the ground, tears had already unwittingly streamed down her face.
She felt that she might have remembered now.
Duanmu Qing, Duanmu Qing. He was one of the two apothecaries who had been locked up in the dungeon with her for Fan Qiuhe's research.
It was him. It was him!
What was going on?
Impossible, she had never seen those two tragic apothecaries in her memories!
Impossible, impossible. She had never known an apothecary named Duanmu Qing. She didn't know him, didn't know him…
When Qin Xin carried her out of the dungeon's secret room, she clearly hadn't heard those two apothecaries making any sounds for a very long time. The apothecaries should have long died. Why would he appear beside her afterwards??
It was so terrifying. She was so confused! Why would she and Qin Xin be standing together inside a bridal chamber?
Impossible. Impossible, impossible. It was impossible for her to agree to marry Qin Xin!
Her mind was in chaos, and everything was a blur. She was seized with terror and dread.
"Master!" The sapling hopped out of Paradise Planet in a panic along with Little Earth and Little Water.
The three little ones cuddled against her legs as they asked worriedly, "Master, Master. What happened to you?"
"Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao!!" Qi Xuanxuan came dashing over from afar in pursuit.
When she caught sight of the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but be gobsmacked.
F*ck, this side of the summit was basically razed. Could it be…
Qi Xuanxuan looked at Qiao Mu in surprise. Before she could ponder over why this fellow had such might, she hastily raced over and pounced over to embrace her tightly. "Qiaoqiao! What happened? Tell me! I'll take care of you!"
After being disrupted by this loud shout, the blurry images receded like tidewater. There was no longer any flickering light or passing shadows.
There was no more Duanmu Qing, no more terrifying Qin Xin, no more bloody corpses strewn on the ground.
Qi Xuanxuan gazed at her worriedly.
Qiao Mu's eyes reddened and found it difficult to hide the fear in her heart. She abruptly reached out to hug Qi Xuanxuan and broke down with a wail, "Xuanxuan, I miss Mo Lian. I miss my mom, I miss my master! I want to go home."
These scary feelings were unbearable.
It struck her with terror!
She had originally thought that she had already undone all the riddles of her previous life. She had remembered everything and even vanquished her inner demon personally. She had killed Qin Xin, so everything had concluded!
It was just like a person who had been stuck in a maze for three days and nights finally seeing the light and thinking that they were about to leave the maze.
