Xia Qingqing tried to convince herself to let go of the jealousy, but she found that the harder she tried, the stronger the emotion became. It was like a sharp knife, constantly cutting her heart. The deep jealousy was still intertwined and colliding in her heart, making her unable to extricate herself.

At this time, Yuan Chengzhi's heart was filled with complex emotions. He did not notice that Xia Qingqing beside him was sulking with jealousy, with her beautiful brows furrowed and her shoulders trembling slightly. Moreover, Yuan Chengzhi seemed to have hundreds of bugs gnawing at his heart, making other people's happiness his own unspeakable pain.

However, Yuan Chengzhi ignored Xia Qingqing's jealousy and sulking. His gaze traveled across the direction and locked onto Li Mochou, who was known as the "Red Snake Fairy".

[Red-Snake Fairy] Li Mochou, this name in the martial arts world is like the brightest cold star in the night sky, both dazzling and terrifying. She is known for her cruelty and ruthlessness. Wherever she goes, she leaves behind blood and gore. She is the nightmare of many martial artists.

Yuan Chengzhi looked at Li Mochou over there, with anger and determination in his eyes, because he knew very well that this "Fairy" was actually a big devil, whose evil deeds were too numerous to list, and she must be eliminated as soon as possible.

However, his reason now told him that now was not the time to take action. He was traveling south to the State of Song with an important mission, and he had to be cautious in every step and could not make any mistakes.

If he acted rashly at this moment, not only would he alert the enemy, but he would also be more likely to expose his whereabouts, causing the entire plan to fail. Therefore, despite the burning fire of justice in his heart, Yuan Chengzhi forced himself to calm down and bury that impulse deep in his heart.

Yuan Chengzhi took a deep breath and tried to calm his eyes, as if the emotional fluctuations just now had never happened. He knew that this trip to the south was to carry out important tasks, and he must now learn to endure and wait.

As for Xia Qingqing, her jealousy was like a vinegar jar scorched by the scorching summer sun. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to swallow all the dissatisfaction and grievance back into her stomach, but the barely noticeable blush on her delicate cheeks betrayed her mood and the feeling of being sulky.

Xia Qingqing's pair of delicate and slender hands were folded on her knees, and her fingers unconsciously pinched her palms hard, as if only this could relieve the indescribable emotions in her heart.

The hustle and bustle around her seemed to have nothing to do with her, and her world was left with only herself and her chaotic emotions.

At this time, Yuan Chengzhi was immersed in his own thoughts, with all kinds of ideas and plans surging in his mind. Yuan Chengzhi did not notice the subtle changes in Xia Qingqing beside him, nor did he understand her jealousy and loss caused by love.

Because now Yuan Chengzhi's attention was completely attracted by other things, so he missed the best time to communicate with Xia Qingqing and comfort her. This scene cast a shadow on the relationship between Yuan Chengzhi and Xia Qingqing.

And the confrontation over there seemed to be a freeze in time, the air was filled with tension and depression, and Li Mochou's eyes were like a sharp blade forged from thousands of years of ice, flashing with a cold light.

She stared at Yang Guo and Lu Wushuang in front of her with sharp eyes, which seemed to penetrate them and see into the deepest part of their hearts. There was no fluctuation in expression on her pretty face, only endless indifference and determination.

Hong Lingbo stood gracefully beside her master Li Mochou, her pretty face full of vigilance, and her slender and delicate hand tightly grasped the long sword.

Her eyes swept over Yang Guo and her junior sister Lu Wushuang in front of her, fearing that any movement would escape her attention. Hong Lingbo knew very well that her task at the moment was to obey the orders of her master Li Mochou, so she did not dare to be careless or slack in the slightest.

In contrast, although Yang Guo and Lu Wushuang had solemn expressions, the tacit understanding and determination they showed to each other made people feel an indescribable power.

In this quaint Yuelai Inn, every corner seems to be shrouded in an indescribable atmosphere. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the carved wooden windows and sprinkles on the bluestone floor in patches.

It adds a bit of warmth and vitality to this slightly dull space. However, this tranquility is soon broken by various subtle sounds, forming a picture that is both tense and subtle.

In a corner of the inn, Xu Xingchen sat alone at a quaint wooden table. The bowl and chopsticks in his hands collided gently, making a crisp and rhythmic sound, which was particularly eye-catching in this tense atmosphere.

There was a faint smile on Xu Xingchen's pretty face. He occasionally raised his glass and took a sip of wine. The slight sound of drinking echoed in the quiet environment, adding a bit of leisure and calmness.

In sharp contrast, at another table not far away, Yuan Chengzhi, Xia Qingqing and Jiao Wan'er were whispering to each other. Although their voices were soft, they revealed a seriousness and urgency that could not be ignored.

All that was left was the heavy breathing sounds of Yang Guo, Lu Wushuang, Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo as they confronted each other. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, as if the whole scene could explode with just the slightest disturbance.

"Humph! You ignorant little bitch, are you finally willing to stick your head out of your turtle shell?"

Li Mochou's lips curled up in a sneer, her eyes revealing endless coldness and disdain. She pressed forward step by step until she stood in front of Lu Wushuang. The powerful aura radiating from her inside out made the air around them seem to solidify.

"Run? Just keep running and let me see!"

Her words were not only full of teasing and provocation, but also mixed with a hint of cold pleasure, as if she was standing on a high place, leisurely watching a trapped beast that was fighting hard but doomed to fail.

"What? Now that you know you can't escape, are you planning to surrender? Your little tricks are nothing in front of me!"

Li Mochou's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring straight at Lu Wushuang. It seemed that her gaze could see through the deepest fear and despair in people's hearts. Every glance was like the sharpest sword, ruthlessly piercing the other's heart and leaving unhealable scars.

"Hand over the Secret of the Five Poisons!"

Having said this, Li Mochou's voice suddenly rose a few notches, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, with unquestionable majesty and determination, which made people involuntarily feel a strong sense of oppression coming towards them, and they were almost suffocated by this momentum.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Mochou's cold and resolute voice seemed to still echo in the air. She slowly raised her slender right hand, which was as delicate as jade and like a work of art.

Under the faint sunlight, there was a faint red light flickering in the palm of Li Mochou's jade hand. This light was not given by the outside world, but was condensed from her deep inner strength.

Just like volcanic magma about to erupt, it contains power and majesty that cannot be underestimated. At the same time, the condensation of its own internal force is also Li Mochou's signal of ultimatum to her evil disciple Lu Wushuang.

At this moment, the entire scene was shrouded in a tense and depressing atmosphere, as if even the wind around had stopped breathing, waiting for the fierce conflict that might happen next.

Because for Li Mochou, "The Secret of the Five Poisons" is not only the cornerstone of her martial arts, but also the only way for her to make a living and travel the world. This secret book contains the two unique skills that made her famous.

The two martial arts, "Ice Soul Silver Needle" and "Five Poison Palm", are not only incredibly powerful, but also terrify people in the martial arts world because of their unique toxicity and viciousness. Moreover, in the profound chapters of "The Secret Transformation of the Five Poisons", in addition to recording these terrifying martial arts.

It also lists in detail the preparation methods of various strange poisons and their corresponding secret recipes for antidotes. For Li Mochou, these are important weapons to protect her own safety and deal with potential threats.

This is because, once these precious formulas are accidentally leaked to the world, her name "Red Snake Fairy" will no longer be as feared in the martial arts world as it used to be.

It will intermittently cause Li Mochou's enemies to use this information against her, and may even use the poison she is good at against her, which is undoubtedly a huge threat to her life safety.
