Chapter 141 - 141 Regaining Consciousness
141 Regaining Consciousness
It was a pitch-black world.
The intense argument allowed Qin Huai to find a ray of light.
Immediately, an unprecedented fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, and the world began to show colors.
Qin Huai frowned slightly, struggling to see the world in front of him in a daze. It seemed to be a bright red curtain, and he felt a warm sensation under his body. It seemed to be some kind of animal skin.
!!Where was this place? The last thing he knew, he was being chased.
Qin Huai tried his best to turn his head and look at the source of the sound. He tried to hear the conversation clearly.
“Kill him. Son-in-law… County governor…”
What was that? Did he transmigrate again?
Squeak…
With the sound of the door closing, Qin Huai saw two white and slender things approaching him. It was probably a pair of human legs.
“You’re awake.”
Qin Huai felt his body become lighter as he was lifted up.
“Young Master Qin, it’s time to drink your medicine.”
Something warm and bitter seemed to have been fed into his mouth. Lotus seeds, lilies, bezoar, and spirit-waking grass. It was a refreshing soup…
Memories came back to him unconsciously, helping Qin Huai analyze the ingredients of the thing in his mouth. Gradually, Qin Huai regained his consciousness.
“Miss Shaoxiang?” He looked at the young girl in front of him, and his thoughts suddenly connected. “It was you who saved me…”
Qin Huai wanted to thank her, but his body still refused to listen to him. The battle had emptied him of everything he had.
Miss Shaoxiang smiled. “I didn’t save Young Master. It was fate that brought us together.”
“No matter what, I still owe you a life.” Qin Huai’s expression was solemn. “I will never forget this great favor! In the future, if you need my help, Miss Shaoxiang, feel free to look for me!”
“Then Young Master Qin will be my husband to repay me.” Miss Shaoxiang’s face was solemn as well.
“What…” Qin Huai was stunned. He did not want to get married too early, especially in this dangerous fantasy world.
Before he had the strength, he had no ability to protect his family.
When Miss Shaoxiang saw this, she laughed bitterly. “If Young Master doesn’t want to, you might not be able to walk out of the Nine Dragons sect alive.”
“What do you mean…” Qin Huai was even more stunned. The quarreling sounds he had vaguely heard earlier flashed through his mind.
“Because there are many people in the sect who do not wish to have an unpleasant relationship with General Song Ya, who is currently at the peak of his power, because of Young Master Qin, an insignificant person. And the best reason I can find to protect you is to become the husband of the Li family’s first wife’s daughter, the son-in-law of the Nine Dragons sect.”
When Qin Huai heard this, he finally remembered the two big problems he was currently carrying. It was the commander of the army, General Song Ya.
“Phew. If that’s the case, we can only rely on Miss Shaoxiang.” Qin Huai cupped his fists.
When Shaoxiang heard this, a smile bloomed on her face. “Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Li Shaoxiang, and I’m the daughter of the Li family’s head, one of the two major families in the Nine Dragons sect of Lingjiang county.”
Qin Huai was a little dumbfounded, but he finally reacted.
He had learned from his master that this Miss Shaoxiang was a member of the Li family. He had originally thought that she was just an ordinary Li family branch.
After all, which major sect’s important figure would deign to come to their tiny Pingnan City or even go to Overflowing Fragrance to serve?
But he didn’t expect that this Miss Shaoxiang was actually the family head’s first wife’s daughter.
“Miss Shaoxiang, do you know where my master is?” Qin Huai hurriedly asked.
“Young Master Qin, I am very sorry… Even though I gave Senior Sun the Nine Dragons sect token when I met him, I don’t know why they didn’t come to Ling River.”
Li Shaoxiang continued, “But it’s also fortunate that Senior Sun and the others didn’t come to Lingjiang.”
“Why do you say so?” Qin Huai was surprised.
“There were a few people who escaped to Lingjiang today. They seemed to be disciples of Thunderbolt Dojo, and they were killed on the spot as soon as they were brought into the city by a lieutenant.”
When Qin Huai heard this, he suddenly felt a chill down his back. “Fortunately, Master is wise and brave. He dodged a disaster…”
“Miss! The head of the family is waiting for you in the meeting hall.” Miss Qingshui’s voice came from outside the door.
“I know,” Li Shaoxiang responded. “You might have to live in this room for the next few days. That General Song Ya is eager to know the whereabouts of Hu Guanpan and his men from you.
“Anyway, my husband can rest here first. There will be a doctor to check your pulse later.”
Qin Huai nodded and watched Li Shaoxiang, who was wearing a red dress, leave.
Bang! Bang!
It was as if Qin Huai was the only person left in the world.
“I hope that Master and Senior Brothers are safe and sound,” he said in a low voice.
Moreover, from Li Shaoxiang’s words, that brat Hu Jinghai should not have been discovered. He had probably escaped.
Qin Huai then began to size up the room. Only then did he realize that not only were the curtains bright red, but there were also red candles on the tables and chairs not far away. There were also some characters with the word “yi” written in a hurry.
Qin Huai lowered his head and looked at himself. He was also wearing red, and it was similar to Miss Shaoxiang’s and the room.
“We’re already married?”
Qin Huai was startled, and he realized it a little later. He didn’t expect to wake up as a man with a family.
This kind of thing made Qin Huai a little flustered. He didn’t like this kind of passive and insecure state, which was very different from his thinking.
However, he did not have the strength to escape from General Song Ya. The only one he could use was the Nine Dragons sect.
Moreover, this was his destination, so he could kill two birds with one stone.
“To be the husband of such a beauty and also the son-in-law of the Nine Dragons sect, one of the three major powers in the Yangtze River, what else do I have to worry about…”
