The Legendary Siblings Chapter 94
On seeing that Hua Wu Que is flying off, Su Ying suddenly said, “The one who was trapped with you is called Jiang Yu Lang, do you know him?”
Hua Wu Que paused and unconsciously sighed again, “I wish I do not know him.”
Su Ying sighed, “Why didn’t you kill him? Leaving this person alive will create endless troubles.”
Hua Wu Que said, “He is sick and injured now, how can I strike him?”
Su Ying laughed bitterly, “That is the problem with gentlemen, but if you do not have this problem I’m afraid even I…”
She saw that Hua Wu Que was moving again and immediately shouted, “Wait, I have something else to tell you.”
Hua Wu Que can only stop again and asked, “What is it?”
Su Ying suddenly smiled, “Tie Xin Lan was not wrong, you really is a gentle and adorable man, and you really treat her well.”
Everyone knows how impatient Xiao Yu’er is, and for an impatient person to just sit there and wait for someone, is almost killing him. Xiao Yu’er is as anxious as a cricket caught in fire, and kept on pacing the floor, kept on asking Herbalist Hu, “Are you sure Su Ying will certainly find her way here?”
Herbalist Hu was initially very confident and said with certainty, “Yes!”
But later, even Herbalist Hu became a little impatient, and can’t help but ask, “The poison I have, I’m afraid it’s about to react?”
Xiao Yu’er suddenly jumped up and shouted, “Let me tell you, if Su Ying does not come, I will never remove the poison for you.”
Herbalist Hu said with a bitter look, “Whether Miss Su comes or not, what business is it of mine, but if your poison reacts…”
Xiao Yu’er shouted, “If the poison reacts, you can only count yourself unlucky. You deserve death anyway, who told you to say that Su Ying will certainly come.”
He really is being unreasonable now, because he is almost going crazy from the wait.
Herbalist Hu was even more impatient than him. His clothes which has just dried, is now soaked with sweat.
Only Jiang Yu Lang does not look anxious at all. He sat there grinning, as if it doesn’t matter to him whether Su Ying comes or not. It turns out that he suddenly realized that the effect of that irritating medicine has dispersed, and he is slowly starting to feel comfortable, slowly beginning to feel his strength.
Xiao Yu’er was almost wearing out his eyeballs from looking out, but there were still not a single trace of Su Ying to be seen. Finally he can’t help but ask, “Let’s go, doesn’t matter if she’s coming or not, let’s go and look for her first.”
Jiang Yu Lang said slowly, “If we go and find Miss Su now and come back again to save Master Hua, I’m afraid Master Hua would already be…”
He deliberately paused in his speech, and as expected Xiao Yu’er can’t help but jump up and shouted, “Afraid what? Speak!”
Jiang Yu Lang said slowly, “To tell the truth, the place where I hid Hua Wu Que is not very comfortable, in fact it is a little stuffy, if after a long period of time, someone may be suffocated for all you know.”
Xiao Yu’er jumped up and was thinking of leaping over but only halfway before he forced himself to stop, and the look of anger on his face immediately replaced by a smile, and said with a laugh, “Brother Jiang is a smart person, you should know that if Hua Wu Que dies, it won’t benefit Brother Jiang at all.”
Jiang Yu Lang sighed and said, “Of course little brother knows, it’s just that…”
Xiao Yu’er immediately interrupted, “If you save him, I will be responsible of asking Su Ying to give you the antidote.”
Jiang Yu Lang gave a bitter smile and said, “Little brother has thought it over, and felt that everything in the world is just an illusion. Life and death, is just a dream. Little brother is not taking to heart whether the antidote can be obtained.”
For him to suddenly say all these great philosophies, Xiao Yu’er stared at him with huge eyes, “You… you are really Jiang Yu Lang? Marvelous, marvelous, so Brother Jiang is the reincarnation of an old monk.”
Jiang Yu Lang sighed again and said, “Although little brother no longer takes this human skin of mine to heart, it’s just that…”
He turned his head to look at Tie Ping Gu and said sadly, “It’s just that her… the love she has shown me, makes me unable to put it down or abandon it.”
Tie Ping Gu looked at him morosely, tears shimmering in her eyes, but does not know if it’s shock, love, belief or disbelief?
Jiang Yu Lang commented with a sigh, “After what happened this time, little brother will no longer have any intention of competing with brother in the martial arts realm, and can only hope to make a complete break from all enmity, and find a secluded forest with her and spend the rest of our lives peacefully, but…” He continued with a pitiful laugh, “But even though little brother has this intention, alas I have committed too many wrongs in the past. Little brother also knows that Brother Yu will certainly not let me off, right?”
Xiao Yu’er said with a straight face, “As the saying goes, lay down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha immediately. Little brother would admire Brother Jiang for doing that, so why would I find trouble for Brother Jiang?”
Jiang Yu Lang was silent for a moment before saying slowly, “Brother Jiang is knowledgeable, I’m sure you will know that there is a kind of wild fungus called Nu’er Hong (Blushing Girl).”
At this point in time Tie Ping Gu can’t help but ask, “What is this Nu’er Hong?”
Xiao Yu’er answered, “This Nu’er Hong is a kind of poisonous fungus which grows in extremely dark and damp places, and it’s said that no matter who eats it, they will contract a weird illness within three to five days.
Tie Ping Gu asked, “What weird illness?”
Xiao Yu’er explained, “There’s nothing much to this illness initially, just that one would feel sleepy and disoriented, like being lovesick. Unless he can find a bunch of ‘Er Po’ (wicked woman) grass every few months and eat it together with the roots, or else the lovesickness will become more serious, and in less than a year, that person would die.”
Although Tie Ping Gu thought that the plants were very well named and extremely interesting, but once she thought that if a person were to unfortunately eat this kind of poisonous fungus, that would certainly be not interesting.
Xiao Yu’er laughed and continued, “For Brother Jiang to suddenly mention this at this point in time, could it be that you want little brother to suffer from such lovesickness as well?”
This time Jiang Yu Lang did not even bother to deny and just replied simply, “Exactly.”
However Xiao Yu’er smiled and said, “Such a precious thing, where can you find it in such a short time?”
Jiang Yu Lang replied, “If Little brother were to look for it elsewhere, even if I search for another three to five years, I might not be able to find it, but coincidentally, there are some nearby. As soon as Brother Yu agrees, little brother will pick it for Brother Yu immediately.”
Tie Ping Gu finally can’t help but cried hoarsely, “Are you crazy? How can you say such words? He… how can he possibly agree to it?”
Jiang Yu Lang ignored her, and continued slowly, “Brother Yu must know as well that the ‘Er Po’ grass, although is as rare as Nu’er Hong, but it can be grown, and little brother coincidentally knows the way to grow it.”
Xiao Yu’er rolled his eyes, but did not speak.
Jiang Yu Lang continued, “After this matter is done, little brother will immediately find a secluded place to live, and spend my effort growing the Er Po grass for Brother Yu. If Brother Yu wants to stay healthy, naturally you will try your best to save my life.”
Only now did Herbalist Hu knows that his grand plan is to use this matter to threaten Xiao Yu’er, so that Xiao Yu’er will not create trouble for him in future.
But isn’t this thinking too naïve, and Herbalist Hu almost wanted to laugh, and looking at Jiang Yu Lang he secretly sniggered, “Do you think Xiao Yu’er is a fool? This kind of matter, even if you kill me, I will not agree to it, must less this Xiao Yu’er who is more slippery than a fish.”
It seems that Xiao Yu’er had been rolling his eyes for half a day before he replied with a grin, “You do not trust me, so how can I trust you? How would I know if you will grow the Er Po grass for me, how would I know if I will really get to eat Er Po grass?”
Jiang Yu Lang sighed, “Little brother’s poison has also not been cleared, it’s still very easy for Brother Yu to kill me.”
Xiao Yu’er asked, “But what if I cannot find you?”
Jiang Yu Lang said with a laugh, “If Brother Yu really wants to look for me, even if little brother goes to high heaven or underground, I still would not be able to hide from you.”
For a smart man like Xiao Yu’er, how can he actually utter such stupid words, and it made Jiang Yu Lang’s reply appear even more marvelous, making it seem like he is talking nonsense.
But Xiao Yu’er seems to believe him, and only asked another question, “If I eat this Nu’er Hong, you will save Hua Wu Que?”
Jiang Yu Lang assured, ‘If little brother were to go back on my words, Brother Yu can take my life anytime.”
Xiao Yu’er sighed and said, “All right, I agree.”
Xiao Yu’er actually agreed. No one would have agreed to such an arrangement, but he actually agreed.
Herbalist Hu looked at Xiao Yu’er in a daze, and secretly thought, “Lunatic, lunatic, so this person is actually a lunatic. Others said that people who are too smart, will sometimes become lunatic, it seems that such a saying is not wrong at all.”
Tie Ping Gu also stared in shock, stunned into speechlessness.
Jiang Yu Lang really took out a bunch of extremely vibrant looking Nu’er Hong. Xiao Yu’er really swallowed it with a grin.
He wiped his mouth and actually laughed loudly, “Excellent, excellent. I did not expect this Nu’er Hong to be one of the most delicious things on earth. I have never tasted such fresh and tender thing in my life.”
At this point in time, Jiang Yu Lang can’t help but reveal a look of glee in his eyes, but he deliberately sighed and said, “The beauties of an era, are usually jinxes on the country or city, the most fatal poison, are also usually one of the delicacies in the world. Only good medicine, are bitter to the taste.”
Xiao Yu’er grabbed his hand and said with a laugh, “Nice words are usually used to trick others, Brother Jiang better speak less, and hurry to save a life instead.”
Where the stone house is situated, is already extremely secluded. Jiang Yu Lang took Xiao Yu’er and walked further, and the paths became more and more winding and dangerous.
But his illness have stuck again, after two steps and he’ll need to catch his breath, after another two steps and he’ll trip and fall. His legs were like the strings of the pipa (musical instrument), which kept vibrating.
Xiao Yu’er is almost going crazy with impatience, and in the end he can’t stand it any longer so he carried him up and said, “Where is that place actually, tell me and I’ll carry you there.”
Jiang Yu Lang replied, “How can I trouble Brother Yu thus.”
Xiao Yu’er gave a snort of laughter and said, “It’s all right, your bones are very light, it’s not a drain of energy at all for me to carry you.”
Tie Ping Gu stamped her feet and said, “I beg the two of you, can you please stop bickering.”
Jiang Yu Lang sighed, “How would I dare to bicker with Brother Jiang, it’s just that…”
He suddenly stopped talking, and his finger pointed upwards, saying “Can Brother Yu see that hole up there?”
Xiao Yu’er followed the point of the finger and looked up, and saw that on the side of the mountain overgrown with moss, there really is a dark hole, and there’s a stone ledge protruding out from the mouth of the hole.
Jiang Yu Lang said, “This place is not bad, right?”
Xiao Yu’er asked, “Why didn’t you use a rock to seal the mouth of the hole?”
Jiang Yu Lang replied, “Master Hua is unable to walk now, I’m not afraid of him running away anyway.”
Xiao Yu’er suddenly glared at him and raised his voice, “If the hole is not blocked, how could he have suffocated to death?”
Without any change in his expression, Jiang Yu Lang said nonchalantly, “Maybe he won’t be suffocated, but in a cave in the wild mountains, there might be some poisonous snakes or ferocious beasts….”
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Yu’er had already leapt up.
Jiang Yu Lang added, “Why don’t Brother Yu put me down first to take a look and see if this is the right place.”
The stone ledge was also overgrown with moss, making it extremely slippery. Xiao Yu’er put him down and he dared not even stand up, but crawled to the mouth of the hole to take a look. He suddenly shouted, “Master Hua, little brother has come to save you, can you hear?”
Only his echo could be heard in the hole, but there was no reply from Hua Wu Que at all.
Jiang Yu Lang furrowed his brow and said, “Master Hua, you… you… what’s wrong with you, why….”
Xiao Yu’er stamped his feet and dragged Jiang Yu Lang back so that he can lie at the mouth of the hole. Looking inside, the hole is so dark that one cannot even see one’s extended hand. He cannot see anything at all.
Jiang Yu Lang asked, “Brother Yu, can you see Master Hua?”
Xiao Yu’er asked, “What tricks are you trying to play, why…”
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a huge force knocking onto him from the sole of his feet. Before he could even scream, his body had fallen straight down the hole like a dropping leaf.
The Jiang Yu Lang who could not even walk earlier, has now become so full of energy. He jumped up and dashed to the mouth of the hole and shouted, “Brother Yu… Xiao Yu’er…”
Xiao Yu’er did not reply and after a moment, there was a ‘plonk’ sound. This hole is terribly deep.
Jiang Yu Lang raised his head heavenward and laughed loudly, “Xiao Yu’er… Xiao Yu’er, you are not my match after all, you have been tricked by me after all.”
Tie Ping Gu looked up from the bottom. What happened on the ledge, she could not see clearly as well, and now that she heard Jiang Yu Lang’s conceited laughter, she exclaimed in surprise, “What have you done to Xiao Yu’er?”
Jiang Yu Lang laughed loudly, “If I don’t kill him, must I wait for him to kill me then?”
Tie Ping Gu was stunned and furious, and asked hoarsely, “Have you not changed for the better? Weren’t you thinking of spending a peaceful life with me, why…”
As she spoke, she wanted to jump up as well but just as she was jumping, she suddenly remembered that she’s only wearing Herbalist Hu’s long coat, and there’s nothing inside. If she jumps up, Herbalist Hu would get a good view from the bottom. So she can only drop down quickly, cover the long coat and kept stamping her feet.
Herbalist Hu was also shocked still, and after a moment, can’t help but ask, “Since Xiao Yu’er has already been poisoned by Nu’er Hong, won’t you be able to use this to threaten him in future, and make him obey you. Now that you’ve killed him, won’t it be a pity.”
Jiang Yu Lang laughed, “What you do not understand, Xiao Yu’er will not understand as well, that’s why he got tricked. That Nu’er Hong is only a lure, so do you understand now?”
Herbalist Hu was stunned again. He felt that the malevolence and deviousness of Jiang Yu Lang’s plan, and the viciousness and shrewdness in which it was executed is something that one would never even dream of.
Jiang Yu Lang laughed loudly and said, “Xiao Yu’er oh Xiao Yu’er, you keep saying that you are the smartest man on earth, now do you know who should be the smartest person in the world?”
Herbalist Hu can’t help but ask, “But what about Hua Wu Que? Has he been killed by you as well?”
Jiang Yu Lang laughed, “Did you think Hua Wu Que was stupid? Let me tell you, he knows how to trick others as well. He deliberately pretended to be dumb so that you will not be on your guard against him, and he took the opportunity to escape.”
Herbalist Hu was stunned for a moment before asking with a bitter smile, “Then, what about Bai Shan Jun?”
Jiang Yu Lang said, “At that time I had a very bad relapse and was in a daze. I did not look properly, seems like he went after Hua Wu Que.”
Herbalist Hu suddenly jumped up and exclaimed, “Oh no, my poison has not been nullified, I still need him for the antidote.”
Jiang Yu Lang suddenly smiled icily and said, “Very well, you can go down and look for him then.”
Amidst the icy laughter, his palm suddenly extended and aimed it towards Herbalist Hu.
Herbalist Hu had just jumped up the ledge and although he could have avoided this attack, but he did not have the chance to catch his breath yet. If he were to jump down immediately, he will be able to avoid the attack, but he has not changed the flow of his breathing, so even if he can avoid being injured from the jump to the ground, his stance will certainly be unstable. If at that time Jiang Yu Lang pressed on his advantage and jumped down as well, it would be difficult for him to avoid this attack.
It’s extremely slippery on the ledge, so Herbalist Hu deduced that since Jiang Yu Lang is attacking on the ledge, his lower body must be unstable and if his lower body is unstable, the strength of his attack must not be very strong then.
Jiang Yu Lang struck with his palm, but Herbalist Hu did not avoid it at all and risked taking the attack, but his leg kicked up, aiming a sweeping kick towards Jiang Yu Lang’s lower body.
This move is defending by attacking, by attacking the enemy to save oneself and is the epitome of an excellent move. However, if one is not an experienced martial arts exponent, one would never dare to use such a risky maneuver.
Jiang Yu Lang laughed, “What a good Second Master Rabbit, you really have some capabilities!”
He suddenly leapt up, both his legs already kicking in midair.
Herbalist Hu never imagined that at a place like this, he would dare to use a move like that, and in his surprise, he can’t avoid the attack even if he wanted to.
It must be known that Herbalist Hu did not have time to recover after the kick he executed earlier, so his lower body would definitely be unstable. The tip of Jiang Yu Lang’s foot is already aiming towards his throat.
He can only use his hands to block it, but the strength in the hands cannot be compared to the strength in the legs. Even if he managed to receive this kick, he will certainly be kicked down the hole by Jiang Yu Lang. But if he can grab Jiang Yu Lang’s foot, he would be dragged down together as well. This move may be almost unscrupulous, but under the circumstances, he couldn’t care less.
Who would have expected that while in mid-air, Jiang Yu Lang would still have enough energy to change his stance.
In the blink of an eye both his legs had executed seven to eight kicks. Not only was Herbalist Hu unable to grab his feet, but he can’t even tell from which direction the kicks are coming from.
Only now did he realize that not only is Jiang Yu Lang viciousness and cunningness incomparable, but his martial arts is beyond his expectations as well. He knows that he is unable to defend any further, and can’t help but heave a long sigh, his body suddenly tumbled on the rock and actually jumped down the hole with the fathomless bottom.
Tie Ping Gu stood there in a daze, not moving at all. Jiang Yu Lang deliberately showed off and turned a somersault in midair before dropping next to her like a large butterfly but she did not seem to have noticed.
Jiang Yu Lang grinned, “Did you see the few kicks I executed earlier?”
Without even looking at him, Tie Ping Gu said dully, “Saw it.”
Jiang Yu Lang continued, “That is the essence of Northern Sect’s Springing Leg technique ‘Eight Styles of Crouching Fish’ and Hu’s Castle’s ‘Shadowless Kick’, Wudang’s ‘Meteor Steps’, Kunlun’s ‘Flying Dragon Stance’, the combination of the unique skills of four kinds of martial arts with changes made. I’ve given it a nickname, called ‘Kicking others to death without paying with life, unparalleled devil’s leg in the world’, don’t you think it’s marvelous?”
Tie Ping Gu replied coldly, “Extremely marvelous.”
Jiang Yu Lang smiled, “You have such a highly skilled martial artist as a husband, aren’t you happy?”
Tie Ping Gu suddenly turned her head and ran away.
Jiang Yu Lang hurriedly flew after her and blocked her path, saying with a smile, “What are you doing? We have not been together for a long time, and now that my illness is cured, we can show some attention to each other, why are you ignoring me?”
Tie Ping Gu said with an icy smile, “You better find someone else to pay attention to. A clever and highly skilled hero like you, how can I be compatible with you?”
Jiang Yu Lang smiled, “Find someone else, find who? The only person I like is you!”
He hugged Tie Ping Gu up and kissed her face.
Tie Ping Gu did not even struggle but stamped her feet and said, “You… you… you won’t let go?”
Jiang Yu Lang said with a grin, “I’m not letting go, I just won’t let go, even if you hit me to death, I still can’t bear to let go.”
His hand has already reached into the robe, and Tie Ping Gu’s struggles finally became less vigorous. She said, “Let go of me first, I want to ask you something.”
Jiang Yu Lang grinned, “Ask away, I’m not covering your mouth anyway.”
Tie Ping Gu asked, “Let me ask you, you’ve killed Xiao Yu’er, aren’t you happy enough, why must you kill Herbalist Hu as well?”
Jiang Yu lang replied, “I saw the way that lad was looking at you lecherously and I almost went crazy. I wished I could kill him there and then.”
Tie Ping Gu asked, “You… you killed him, because of me?”
Jiang Yu Lang laughed, “I don’t know why either, but when someone else take even a look at you, I get very angry. Besides, he even had intentions on you… besides me, whoever dares to touch even a finger of yours, I will kill him even if it cost me my life.”
As he spoke, his hands moved even more.
The look of fury on Tie Ping Gu’s face has long disappeared, and there’s a heady blush on her cheeks instead. Not only is her voice shaking, even her body is shaking as well.
Jiang Yu Lang pressed his lips to her ears and said two sentences softly.
Tie Ping Gu immediately blush and said with a struggle, “No, not here.”
Jiang Yu Lang replied, “There’s not even a ghost here, who would see, come on…”
Before he could finish his words, and without even knowing why herself, Tie Ping Gu suddenly flew out of his arms and at the same time let out a scream.
Jiang Yu Lang was also shocked and unconsciously looked up the direction she has flown. He saw Tie Ping Gu’s pale limps struggling in the air, but her body was shooting up like a rocket, and actually flew about seventy, eighty feet up and landed right on a tree.
This tree is growing slanting out of the side of the mountain, and Tie Ping Gu’s robe was coincidentally hooked onto a branch, her naked body hung up like a sheep.
Jiang Yu Lang could not even imagine how she was hung up, and can’t help but cry out, “Jump down quickly, I’ll catch you.”
However, Tie Ping Gu seemed to be stunned from the scare and dare not even move. There was not a trace of blood on her face and the look in her eyes was extremely terrified. But her eyes were not looking at Jiang Yu Lang.
Jiang Yu Lang can’t help but follow the line of her sight and only now did he realize that somehow, right in front of him stood a person in white with long flowing hair.
Her snow white clothes were dancing in the wind but her body stood there unmoving like a log, and on her face she wore a mask carved out of wood, looking like a spirit who had suddenly emerged from underground.
With a simple sweep of her hand and she can throw Tie Ping Gu up eighty to ninety feet, and make her land right on the tree as well. The kind of strength and martial arts required for such a feat will shock anyone who hears of it.
When a man is just getting excited and if someone were to spoil his moment, that person would certainly be in a fury. Jiang Yu Lang only felt a ball of fire in his stomach and totally forgot about all other things and he yelled furiously, “What’s the problem with you, why must you find trouble with me.”
The person in white still stood there, not moving, not talking as well. Jiang Yu Lang was even more furious and can’t help but strike out with a fist.
The person in white still did not move, but the sleeves of her robe swept slightly, and the punch that Jiang Yu Lang was executing suddenly turned back without knowing why.
With a ‘bang’, that punch actually landed on his own head.
Jiang Yu Lang’s face immediately swelled up, but his brains is now clearheaded from the punch. He felt his legs almost giving way and stammered, “You… can you be the Princess of Floral Palace?”
The person in white commented icily, “A person like you, are you fit to utter the four words Princess of Floral Palace?”
Jiang Yu Lang fell to his knees and uttered, “I am really not fit to say these four words, I deserve to be beaten.”
He really is a smart person. Without waiting for the person in white to strike, he had already started hitting himself, and he really used a lot of strength, his hits heavy.
The person in white looked on coldly, not speaking at all.
