Chapter 104 The Pill of Forgetfulness
Chapter 104 The Pill of Forgetfulness
While others were busy picking spiritual plants, Su Luo also hurried down to pick more. However, she uprooted all the spiritual plants she picked because she planned to open a separate spiritual plant garden near her residence, where she could plant all these spiritual plants.
Chu Wenqing and Song Qiao knew only a limited number of spiritual plants, so they stopped after collecting all the ones they recognized. Even so, they collected three large bags, enough for them to give some to their master or sell for spirit stones.
Feng Xiyue, however, was different. She was an alchemist, and besides alchemy, she was most interested in these spiritual plants.
She was the most reckless one there, stopping almost every time she saw a plant, then diving headfirst into it, carefully pulling the spiritual plant out of the ground intact, completely disregarding her appearance.
After all, if you miss such a good opportunity, you may not have another chance!
Chu Wenqing and Song Qiao were simply amazed.
Is this person, who's lying on the ground, bent over and busy with something, still the same bright and beautiful senior sister? She's actually going to such lengths for spiritual plants!
As expected of a pill refiner, he is terrifyingly powerful!
Only after the group of them had almost completely looted the area, and the two cultivators had nothing left to harvest, did they reluctantly and painfully deliver a large pile of spiritual plants to Su Luo.
"Fellow Daoist, all the spiritual plants we've gathered are here..."
Chu Wenqing, with his sharp eyes, saw this scene and quickly went over to stand next to Su Luo, keeping a close eye on the two people to prevent them from suddenly using other means to harm Su Luo.
Song Qiao followed and stood on the other side of Su Luo.
After all, Su Luo has been so good to him, he must protect her!
The two men stood behind Su Luo, one on the left and one on the right, like two guardian deities, watching the two cultivators intently, as if afraid they would go crazy and devour Su Luo.
The long-faced monk's eye twitched.
Have they underestimated this young woman?! She's not as simple as she seems!
Su Luo smiled and thanked her, then accepted the spiritual plant without hesitation and put it into her storage bag.
The two cultivators watching this couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.
She's really not polite...
However, they dared not hope for anything else at this moment; it would be good enough if they could leave this place alive!
Thinking of this, the long-faced cultivator tentatively asked, "Fellow Daoist, now that we have finished harvesting the spiritual plants and handed them all over to you, can we leave now?"
Su Luo nodded, very agreeable, "Of course."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, the two couldn't help but smile.
It's good that they can leave! As long as they're alive, they can always make a comeback! Once they're out, they must expose these people for harvesting spiritual plants! If they don't have it easy, these people won't have it easy either!
But the next moment, Su Luo struck with lightning speed, placing a freezing talisman on each of them. Their smiles froze on their faces, while their hearts were filled with turmoil.
What did this person do now?! Why are they suddenly unable to move?! Could it be... could it be that she's worried they'll reveal her secret and is choosing to destroy the evidence?! Liar! This liar!!
"Su Luo, what are you doing?"
Chu Wenqing looked at the scene, which was just like in the TV series, with excitement on his face. Without thinking, he blurted out, "Could it be that you're afraid of letting the tiger return to the mountain and are planning to destroy the evidence?"
Su Luo: ...
The two people: As expected!
Su Luo frowned. "In your eyes, am I that cruel and bloodthirsty?"
Chu Wenqing then realized he had said the wrong thing, but before he could make amends, Song Qiao's weak voice rang out from behind him.
"Senior brother, don't talk nonsense. Su Luo wouldn't do that... She must have her reasons for doing so."
Even though Song Qiao hadn't known Su Luo for long, the two days they spent together had gradually lowered his guard against her. He could tell that Su Luo wasn't the kind of person who would kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Moreover, he could smell that Su Luo's scent was not bloody, but clean and pleasant...
Su Luo turned around and looked at Song Qiao in surprise, not expecting him to speak up for her.
However, since the other party meant well, she smiled at Song Qiao, then turned her head and faced Chu Wenqing with a cold expression.
"Chu Wenqing, I never imagined I was such a bloodthirsty person in your eyes... And I even considered you a friend! From now on, we are no longer partners!"
Chu Wenqing panicked immediately and hurriedly explained, "No, no! I know you're not that kind of person! It's just that's how it's done on TV and in stories. To prevent the tiger from returning to the mountain and being retaliated against later, the protagonists always choose to silence them directly... I saw that you had them under control, so I subconsciously said that... It's all my fault! I was just being cheeky! You're not that kind of person, you're the best! You're the best and kindest person in the world!!"
Finally, he lowered his head pitifully and apologized, "I'm so sorry, Su Luo, I didn't mean to say that... I'm just always prone to slipping my tongue... I shouldn't have this mouth anymore! I... I don't want this tongue anymore!"
As he spoke, he drew his longsword, turned around, and slashed it at his own mouth. Instantly, blood slid down the blade and dripped down!
The sight of this scene nearly brought tears to the eyes of the two people standing nearby.
This guy's insane! He cut off his own tongue for no reason!!
"Senior brother! No!"
Song Qiao was startled and tried to stop him immediately, but it was too late. Chu Wenqing turned around, threw away the sword, covered his mouth, and a large amount of blood kept flowing out from between his fingers.
Song Qiao grabbed him and supported him, her eyes red and swollen, "Senior brother... Senior brother, you're so confused..."
Chu Wenqing smiled bitterly, covering his mouth as blood continued to flow.
Su Luo crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Since you've already learned your lesson, then let's consider this matter over. Don't let it happen again!"
Chu Wenqing nodded, looking pitiful, weak, and helpless at that moment.
Both cultivators were terrified, thinking that Su Luo and the others were insane!
When Su Luo looked at them again with a half-smile, they instinctively shuddered, felt a chill in their hearts, and wailed incessantly.
"Don't come any closer!!!"
No matter how much they were thinking, they couldn't move and could only watch helplessly as Su Luo walked over and took out a long sword.
They're going to cut out their tongues too!
Despair overwhelmed them, and the two were filled with grief and indignation. In the end, they were so frightened that their eyes rolled back and they fainted.
Su Luo: ...
That's it? Her act isn't even over yet!
That's right! Everything that just happened was actually a play staged by Su Luo and Chu Wenqing!
These two have already been badly tricked by Su Luo after their reckless behavior, so she doesn't plan to kill them. She's only doing this to prevent them from seeking revenge after they get out, and from revealing that they've obtained so many rare and precious treasures, thus causing trouble for themselves.
Therefore, Su Luo decided to give them the Forget-Me-Not Pill.
However, Feng Xiyue's Forget-Me-Not Pill is not of the highest grade, so there is no guarantee that the two of them won't suddenly remember it one day after forgetting it.
So Su Luo decided to give them some more stimulation! This stimulation would become a psychological shadow for them. After they took the Forget-Me-Not Pill and forgot everything, they would subconsciously feel afraid of the forgotten memories and then avoid them, unwilling to think about them actively.
In this way, Su Luo achieved her goal.
Although it was a bit of a shame that the play wasn't finished, Su Luo had no choice but to sheathe her sword, sighed, and said, "Alright, he's passed out, that's enough."
"real?!"
The next moment, Chu Wenqing leaped up from the ground and rushed over. After confirming that the two were indeed unconscious, he proudly raised his head, put his hands on his hips, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha!! I never thought I had such a talent for acting! I actually scared them into fainting! Haha... cough... cough cough cough!"
He laughed so wildly that he accidentally swallowed the fruit in his mouth, pit and all, and his face instantly scrunched up.
"Cough cough... My goodness, this fruit is so sour!"
Then he quickly took out a water bag to rinse his mouth and wiped the "blood" off his face.
Su Luo rolled her eyes at him, and seeing Song Qiao walking over, she quickly gave him a thumbs up, "Song Qiao, you acted very well just now too!"
Su Luo was truly surprised that Song Qiao performed so well on his first time teaming up with them! He has a bright future!
Song Qiao lowered his head and smiled sheepishly.
Then, Su Luo took out a bottle of pills from her storage bag, poured out two Forget-Me-Not Pills and handed them to Chu Wenqing. Chu Wenqing fed the two unconscious people the pills as planned, and then dragged them to a place more than ten miles away from here.
Not long after Chu Wenqing left, Su Luo stretched and planned to go find Feng Xiyue.
Just then, Song Qiao's expression suddenly changed. He turned his head to face a certain direction, looking at something, and then put his hand to his mouth and whistled softly.
The next moment, Feng Xiyue appeared from a distance and quickly rushed towards them.
Su Luo sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong?"
"Someone's coming this way!"
Song Qiao paused for a moment, then added, "It's not Senior Brother Chu!"
