Chapter 37 Qu Lingyan
Chapter 37 Qu Lingyan
The girl stared at Xiao Xuan with great interest, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Qian Xiaoyou and Wan Fu were still captivated by the girl's beauty.
"What did you do to them?"
"No."
The girl's voice was delicate, clear, and pleasant to hear.
She raised her left hand and shook the bracelet made of silver chains and copper plates between her five fingers.
After two rings, Qian Xiaoyou and Wan Fu were immediately awakened.
"Ouch!"
"Beautiful...beautiful..."
Although Qian Xiaoyou and Wan Fu woke up, they didn't seem to notice anything wrong with the girl's scent.
On the contrary, Wan Fu would become speechless upon seeing a beautiful girl.
"What is your name, young lady? What brings you here?"
Qian Xiaoyou, seeing the other party barge into the Wan family's home like this, finally became wary.
The girl glanced at the two of them with disdain, her gaze settling on Xiao Xuan, and said loudly:
"I remember, my name is Qu Lingyan."
Unexpectedly, it was not Xiao Xuan who answered, but Qian Xiaoyou and Wan Fu.
"The girl lives up to her name, hehehe..."
"I...I can't forget..."
Qu Lingyan couldn't help but roll her eyes at the two of them in disgust. At this moment, the commotion outside also alerted the people inside the room.
Suddenly, the door to the inner room opened, and a fat man exuding an air of nouveau riche walked out.
"What's going on? Can't a person get some rest?!"
"Father, Father, Father..."
"What do you mean 'father'?! Speak properly!"
This man was Wan Qian. The Wan family really were cut from the same cloth, all looking prosperous. However, Wan Qian himself seemed rather arrogant.
Wan Qian was about to unleash a torrent of curses when he suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance and then saw a beautiful young woman standing at the door.
"this..."
Just like his own son, Wan Qian was instantly captivated and started drooling over Qu Lingyan.
Qu Lingyan gave Wan Qian a look of utter disdain and grinned as she said:
"I really don't understand why you insist on making me detoxify someone like you. If you ask me, I'd rather just poison you to death."
As she spoke, Qu Lingyan reached into her sleeve, took out a pill the size of a candy bean, stepped forward, and put it into Wan Qian's mouth.
But before she could reach out, Xiao Xuan raised his hand and formed a palm, suddenly unleashing a gust of wind that blew past Qu Lingyan, scattering her beautiful hair.
"Please wait a moment, young lady."
As soon as Xiao Xuan unleashed his palm strike, the two people in front of him immediately regained their senses and looked at Qu Lingyan in horror.
"What...what are you going to feed my dad?"
Wan Fu's voice trembled. If Xiao Xuan hadn't intervened, his father would have been fed something inexplicable.
Qu Lingyan entered the room without being announced and immediately used a strange fragrance to bewitch everyone, which seemed highly suspicious.
"Please answer, young lady!"
Qian Xiaoyou stepped forward, adopting a wary stance as he looked at Qu Lingyan.
The woman simply reached out and brushed aside the hair that Xiao Xuan had blown out of her head, and said calmly:
"Of course it's medicine! It can cure this fat man's poison, or it can kill him. Which one do you believe?"
After speaking, Qu Lingyan looked at Xiao Xuan with a wronged expression, but when Xiao Xuan met her gaze, her eyes seemed to be those of a viper eyeing its prey.
"Brother Xiao, what do you think?"
"Yes, Brother Xiao, it's all thanks to you just now."
Looking at Wan Qian, who seemed to be in a daze, Xiao Xuan had already made up his mind.
【Qu Lingyan (Fifth Realm)】
[A wandering swordsman, apprenticed to Granny Spirit Serpent of Thousand Caves Mountain.]
[Having been tested by his master, he descended the mountain to complete his apprenticeship.]
Just now, when Xiao Xuan and Qu Lingyan made eye contact, he saw her message.
Although he had a general understanding of the other party's situation, it didn't matter whether Xiao Xuan believed her or not.
Since he has no relation to the Wan family, any judgment he makes will only bring trouble upon himself.
"I'm an outsider, so Uncle Wan should make the decision himself. Otherwise, we can wait for your mother to come back before making a decision."
"right!"
Wan Fu nodded quickly.
"My mother...she went to report to the authorities. The McDonald's guys...they'll be here soon. Don't even think about harming anyone!"
Even upon hearing the name McDonald's, Qu Lingyan remained indifferent. Seeing her gently shake her bracelet, Wan Qian walked towards her as if bewitched.
"I'd like to see how McDonald's handles me!"
Qu Lingyan reached out to feed him the medicine, but fortunately Xiao Xuan was faster.
He had already arrived between the two of them. With a sword-finger gesture of his right hand, he deflected Qu Lingyan's hand. Then, with a palm strike of his left hand, he pushed Wan Qian behind him into the inner room. Immediately afterward, he grabbed the door from a distance and closed it.
"What kind of kung fu is that?"
Qu Lingyan took two steps back, looking at Xiao Xuan warily.
"Miss Qu, I, Xiao, do not wish to fight with you. If you are truly a healer, you should treat Master Wan normally."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Qu Lingyan immediately bristled and glared at Xiao Xuan unhappily.
"Hmph, how am I supposed to treat the kind of disease he has normally? He'd only tarnish my reputation. I'd rather kill him with one blow!"
Qu Lingyan's words, though crude, are not without merit; Wan Qian's illness is indeed not something a young woman can easily treat.
"I apologize, it was my oversight."
Xiao Xuan bowed slightly in apology, and at that moment Qu Lingyan immediately smiled and said, "A great opportunity!"
She suddenly trembled and approached Xiao Xuan like a venomous snake on its hunt.
Then Qu Lingyan struck with her palm, and Xiao Xuan quickly turned his head to dodge. Unexpectedly, Qu Lingyan flicked her hand, and the bracelet rattled, locking onto Xiao Xuan again like a venomous snake spitting its tongue.
Xiao Xuanyun pushed her away, but Qu Lingyan's palms were very persistent, and even if he managed to defend against them, they would still entangle him again.
When Qian Xiaoyou and Wan Fu saw the two start fighting, they quickly stepped back a few paces.
They couldn't understand the two people's movements at all; they could only see two blurry figures separating and coming together.
"This is much more powerful than your...that...that kind of boxing technique."
"Shut up!"
Qian Xiaoyou watched the fight intently, hoping to glean some insights from it, but reality left him utterly disappointed.
After a dozen or so moves, Xiao Xuan decided not to hold back any longer and was about to use his full strength. However, he did not expect Qu Lingyan to be so bold. She moved closer and closer with her footwork, and even leaned her whole body against him.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuan quickly jumped back to create distance, while Qu Lingyan twitched her nose twice, as if she had smelled something, and revealed a smug expression.
"I see."
Although Xiao Xuan was somewhat puzzled, seeing that the other party had stopped, he did not dare to make another move.
"The girl's 'Snake Hand' is indeed unique, even more agile than the snake fist of Xingyi School."
"You actually know about the Serpent Hand?"
Xiao Xuan smiled slightly. The name of Qu Lingyan's martial arts technique was naturally given to him by the system.
"I, Mr. Xiao, have endured dozens of moves from the young lady and am a little tired. Why don't we sit down and chat?"
Qu Lingyan knew perfectly well that Xiao Xuan hadn't used his full strength just now. In her opinion, Xiao Xuan's skillful control of true qi indicated that his internal strength was at the sixth or seventh level, or even higher.
So young and already so capable, and possessing such an incredible treasure, she's not someone I can easily deal with. I must inform my mother-in-law.
"I'm here to cure your illness and detoxify. Since you're unwilling, then let Master Fang suffer."
After saying that, Qu Lingyan turned to leave, but Xiao Xuan, though somewhat doubtful, still spoke up.
"Why don't you examine my poison first, young lady?"
