Chapter 292 . 1: Obtained the Antidote


The stone room had already been destroyed by Shen Moru and Lan Jia . There was a layer of black ash over the entire room and the ground was covered with remnants of broken items .

“That beast! Why didn’t he fight outside?! He clearly knew that these were the last things that Mother left behind! And he still keeps saying that he loves her? Such lies!”

Baili Yiling had said just a moment ago to be careful of the demonic bug, but when she saw this mess, she couldn’t help but start cursing . In her angry tone, there were hints of sobs . Tang Doudou felt bad for her .

“Yiling, don’t be so sad . Your mother definitely would be sad to see you like this . ” Tang Doudou hugged Baili Yiling as she gently consoled her .

Baili Yiling pushed her away . “Sister-in-Law is right . As long as Lan Jia dies, Mother will definitely be happy!”

Tang Doudou rubbed her nose . Wasn’t this quite a far cry from what she said?

“En, then let’s get to it . I’m worried that your big brother will be too fast for us and will have already killed Lan Jia by the time we get back . ”

“Let’s go . This way . ”

Baili Yiling asked softly, “Sister-in-Law, how’s your qinggong?”

“It’s alright . ” Tang Doudou smiled at her . Qinggong was the only thing she knew .

“That’s good!” As Baili Yiling spoke, she lightly tapped the ground with the tips of her toes, then flew towards the ceiling . “Sister-in-Law, hurry . ”

Tang Doudou copied her movements and flew up as well .

When she got to the ceiling, Baili Yiling reached up and pushed aside the stone slab above them . “It’s here!”

Both of them entered through the hole . The sight that greeted them was another dark room . In the dim light, Tang Doudou could see that there were a lot of shelves in the room .

Baili Yiling lifted her hand and a tongue of flame jumped out from her sleeve and shot towards the oil lamp in the center of the hidden room . The light gradually grew bright enough to light up the entire hidden room .

Although Tang Doudou had called it a hidden room, it would be better to call it a treasure cave . The shelves in this room were filled with countless rare and precious treasures . Things like gold and pearls weren’t even valuable enough to be displayed and were just thrown in heaps on the ground .



“If these things were brought out, your older brother would probably have to give up his title of being the richest under the heavens!” remarked Tang Doudou jokingly .

Baili Yiling replied coldly, “Tch, who would care?”

“Alright, I’m just joking . Say, what does that thing look like? This room is so large, how are we supposed to find it?”

“Haha, Sister-in-Law, you’re acting silly again!” As Baili Yiling laughed, she took a couple steps forward and arrived at a shelf . She shifted the jade vase that was placed on the shelf and there was the sound of a mechanical click as another small passage appeared .

“You’re wondering why the people of these Saint Tribes are all like mice, right? Why do they seem to like digging holes so much?”

Tang Doudou nodded . “It is strange . For better or for worse, they’re the grand Saint Tribes after all . Why are they always doing such sneaky things?”

“Sneaky? Isn’t that precisely their nature?” Baili Yiling laughed scornfully . “Let’s go . It doesn’t matter if they’re mice or not, this matter is more important . ”

The two walked into the secret passage and it wasn’t long until they reached a similar stone room . This time though, the things on display were very simple . In fact, there was barely anything inside . There was only a simple stone table like the one in the earlier stone room . However, this table didn’t display Baili Shuyin’s memorial tablet . The entire table was filled with memorial tablets .

It was a shocking display of black . Who did all these memorial tablets belong to?

“You see them? These are the memorial tablets of over a hundred fifty of Lan Jia’s wives!” Baili Yiling slowly walked over to them . “They all loved that beast deeply, and they all thought that bastard loved them… They all thought that bastard was a good husband that would accompany them for a lifetime . They never imagined that their husband would become a demon in the span of a night and kill them, destroying them to the point that not even their bones were left!”

Her voice was very stirred up and filled with suppressed rage .

Tang Doudou never imagined that Lan Jia was actually such a heartless person! She had never imagined either that so many women would give their hearts to someone like him . She wondered if it was because Lan Jia was too good at acting, or these women were too dumb .

It was probably that love lowered IQ!

Tang Doudou sighed . In reality, it wasn’t that much of a surprise . Before Lan Jia started acting strangely in front of her, she had also thought that he was a super good person .

After all, he had good looks and a mild temperament . In addition, he had a pair of clear gentle eyes that a lot of girls liked .

“The thing is probably in this stone room . Lan Jia keeps a really tight watch on this room . I’ve come here once, but I got discovered . I only managed to get out of it by hiding in the cauldron that mother left in the room below this one . ”

“It was also in that cauldron that I discovered all of Mother’s secrets . ” Baili Yiling started searching through the room .

“Is that secret the fake immortality pill?” Tang Doudou also started carefully searching through the room . If they actually managed to find the antidote to the Hoarfrost Poison, then this trip to Cerulean Mountain would have been worth it . In addition, this was all she could do for Baili Yu as of now .

Baili Yiling replied, “That’s right! I’ve heard Grandpa Gui mention the immortality pill countless times during my childhood . At first, I had wondered if an immortality pill really existed . If it did exist, didn’t it mean that there were celestials? If I found a celestial, maybe I could beg him to help me save my mother and father… However, Grandpa Gui said it was impossible for immortals to exist in this world . Celestials were nothing more than something unattainable that humans longed for!”

“But I was young back then, so I thought he was lying to me . I wanted to obtain that immortality pill and find a celestial in order to beg him to fulfill my wish . That’s why, after Grandpa Gui passed away, I started looking into the matter of the immortality pill and started following Lan Jia… It was only after I entered that large cauldron that I finally understood that Grandpa Gui had been telling the truth . The so-called immortality pill was nothing more than a fantasy…”


Wasn’t it precisely a fantasy? Tang Doudou inwardly laughed . She felt that Lan Jia probably knew this as well, but it was already too late to turn back . He probably felt guilty as well, otherwise, he wouldn’t have set up so many memorial tablets here .

Every time he recalled the past and stood in front of these memorial tablets, what would he think?

His heart was probably also filled with remorse .

He was a hateful person, but also pitiful . However, he deserved to die!

So many innocent lives had been taken away due to his desire for a fantasy . Those poor infants that had been thrown into pools of poison right after they were born were the most pitiful . Right after they came into this world, their own father had…

Tang Doudou gave a long sigh . Suddenly, she stepped on something .

“Yiling!” She reached out to feel it . When she found that it seemed like a box, she hastily called Baili Yiling over . “There’s something here . ”

Baili Yiling hadn’t found anything after searching this entire time and was starting to get angry, so when she heard Tang Doudou say this, she hastily ran over . “What is it?”

As she spoke, a small flame leaped to life on her finger, causing Tang Doudou a shock . “Yiling, you…?”

“It’s just a little trick . If Sister-in-Law is interested, Yiling will teach you once we get out!” After she said that, she lowered her head to take a closer look at that box .

It wasn’t very large, but it was very heavy . They had to work together to drag the box out of the dark area to the lit room .

Baili Yiling blew out the flame on her hand, then lightly knocked on the wooden box . Her eyes curved into a smile as she laughed . “Ha, Lan Jia is sure self-confident . He didn’t even leave a trap . ”

As Tang Doudou watched curiously, Baili Yiling got an iron wire from somewhere and inserted it into the lock . She lifted the wire lightly and there was the sound of a click as the box opened .

There were a lot of things contained inside . There were ancient texts, jade bottles, and even a lot of black balls that looked quite heavy .

“What are those?”

“I don’t know,” replied Baili Yiling flatly as she reached to take one of the ancient texts out .

However, just when her hand reached the edge of the box, her expression suddenly changed and she quickly withdrew her hand and slammed the box shut .

It happened so quickly that it took a few moments for Tang Doudou to react . “What’s wrong?”

“So close!” Baili Yiling sighed, then glanced at Tang Doudou who looked completely confused . Immediately afterward, she smiled again and said, “Sister-in-Law, you really have such good luck! This is precisely what we needed to find!”

It was that simple to find? Tang Doudou couldn’t help but feel disbelief . “H-how do you know?”

“Haha, I’ll tell you as we walk . I can guarantee that this is what we need! That dumb brother of mine can now be saved!” Baili Yiling’s tone was light, but it just stirred up Tang Doudou’s curiosity even more .

“The antidote to cure the Hoarfrost Poison is in there?”

“Yes!”

“Really?”

“Really!”

After hearing that, Tang Doudou left the secret room as if she was walking on clouds . Although she was carrying a heavy box, she didn’t feel its weight at all .

“Sister-in-Law, stop grinning so foolishly, you still need to figure out how to explain our actions to Big Brother!”

Baili Yiling’s words were like a bucket of cold water . Tang Doudou immediately stiffened .

“Alright, Sister-in-Law, don’t worry, I’m not one of those people that have no sense of comradeship . When the time comes, I’ll definitely face Big Brother’s wrath with you!”

“Yiling, this isn’t what I’m worried about . ” Tang Doudou smiled wryly . Baili Yiling’s line of thought really jumped around a lot .

“Then what are you worried about? You worry about people other than my older brother? Could it be Mu Ye? My good Sister-in-Law, I can tell that Mu Ye is a pretty good person, but he’s too boring! If you end up together with that sort of person, you’ll probably wither from boredom for the rest of your life . However, my brother’s completely different…”

As expected, they truly were siblings . This strong narcissism was so distinctive in their family!

“Ahem, Mu Ye and I are only good friends and he’s saved my life several times . That’s all . ”

“That’s good!” Baili Yiling walked up and held Tang Doudou’s arm . “Big Brother dotes on Sister-in-Law so much, he definitely wouldn’t do anything to you, so don’t worry!”

Tang Doudou nodded . Hopefully that really was the case .

The two then jumped through that opening to get back down to the stone room below . When that demonic bug didn’t stir, Tang Doudou took a few steps forward . However, she soon noticed that Baili Yiling hadn’t followed .

She turned back and saw that Baili Yiling was currently holding several small black balls .

“Yiling, what are those?”

“Humph! I’m going to make it so Lan Jia will never again be able to recover from this setback!”
