Qin Chu pulled Shang Ruoyu's small arm and applied healing ointment, then bandaged her with his torn robe before helping her lower her sleeve.
"Thank you, thank you for coming to help me!" Qin Chu said, looking at Shang Ruoyu.
Shang Ruoyu shook her head, "But the problem still hasn't been solved, and it's turned into a big one."
Qin Chu went to the side, gathered some dry wood, started a fire, and began to boil water. "It's nothing, the trouble has always been there."
"It's different. Before, Qi Qingqing hadn't Cultivated the Rakshasa Cultivation Technique. Just now, she used the peculiar poison Rakshasa Smoke. The way to avoid being corroded by the Rakshasa Smoke is to Cultivate the Rakshasa Cultivation Technique. Next, she will be the crazy female Rakshasa, Qi Qingqing," Shang Ruoyu said to Qin Chu.
Qin Chu thought for a moment and then nodded. "She looked very strange just now. If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have understood what was going on. So it's a special Cultivation Technique. In the future, you should avoid her!"
"What are you thinking? I retreated just now because I didn't want to get contaminated by the Rakshasa Smoke, not because Qi Qingqing herself was a threat to me. After all, getting contaminated by the Rakshasa Smoke is a very troublesome thing," Shang Ruoyu said, looking at Qin Chu.
"I'm not saying you're afraid of her. She has a peculiar poison like Rakshasa Smoke. If you can avoid it, you naturally should. There's no need to fight her to the death!" Qin Chu explained.
Shang Ruoyu came to the campfire, took down the boiled water, then took out a tea set and began to brew tea. Qin Chu took out two chairs from his Storage Ring.
"Rakshasa Smoke is a peculiar and very rare poison. Qi Qingqing can use it once, but it's not certain she can use it a second time. She won't use it unless absolutely necessary. In fact, she herself doesn't want to Cultivate the Rakshasa Cultivation Technique because the price is extremely high. Do you think she's still a normal woman? She gained some strength, but she sacrificed the life a normal woman should have," Shang Ruoyu said to Qin Chu.
Listening to Shang Ruoyu's words, Qin Chu understood that Rakshasa Smoke wasn't something Qi Qingqing could use whenever she wanted; there were still restrictions. He also agreed with Shang Ruoyu's speculation. Last time, when Qi Qingqing was attacked so badly by Shangshu Tianye and Su Mu, she didn't use it because she was confident she could escape. This time, facing Shang Ruoyu, she felt she was in danger of falling, so she used the Rakshasa Smoke.
Taking the teacup Shang Ruoyu pushed over, Qin Chu picked it up and took a sip. "When are you returning to the Youwu Continent?"
"Are you so eager for me to leave?" Shang Ruoyu looked up, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Chu's.
"No, you're not very safe in the Shengwu Continent. You should go back!" Qin Chu said.
"How could I just leave like this? I, Shang Ruoyu, have fallen this time, but I will get up where I fell," Shang Ruoyu said, looking at Qin Chu.
"I'm sorry, actually you didn't fall. That was just a misunderstanding," Qin Chu said.
Shang Ruoyu turned her head to look away. "Inside the Heavenly Sword Mountain, I saw you, and I also saw that Shangshu Yu. I could have killed her with one Sword, but I didn't."
Qin Chu's heart trembled. If Shang Ruoyu could pinpoint him, she could naturally pinpoint Shangshu Yu.
"I don't want to involve innocent people in our affairs, so I didn't do anything to her. In fact, if I really wanted to do something, I just needed to avoid the Black Prison Master. Who else could stop me?" Shang Ruoyu said, taking a sip of tea.
"I know. Last time you captured me, it was out of necessity. You usually act with principles and a bottom line. I understand some things, and I appreciate some favors," Qin Chu said.
Shang Ruoyu smiled. "If you're willing to believe me, there's no favor involved; if you don't believe me, I can't help you even if I want to. I will be there when you get married."
"Is that appropriate? I hurt you once, and I don't want to hurt you a second time, nor do I want my Senior Sister, Shangshu Yu, to be harmed." Qin Chu felt a little scared. Shang Ruoyu attending his wedding was no joke; how awkward would that be!
"Qin Chu, I, Shang Ruoyu, am a person of great character. I also don't want to hurt you again. No matter what, it's a fact that you were my first man, so I want to see you do well," Shang Ruoyu exhaled.
"I have a marriage contract and responsibilities, so I can't do anything for you. I'm sorry!" Qin Chu said.
Shang Ruoyu looked at Qin Chu. "No need to apologize, it's actually fine! At least you don't look annoying, so I can still accept it."
Qin Chu smiled. "You're also fine. I didn't feel wronged either, just a little guilty."
Looking at Qin Chu, Shang Ruoyu also laughed, shaking with laughter. "If you said that in the Youwu Continent, you'd be hacked to death. And you don't feel wronged? You're going to make me die of anger."
"I believe it. We'll become very good friends in the future, right?" Qin Chu asked.
"Yes," Shang Ruoyu said.
Qin Chu exhaled. A wrong beginning doesn't matter, as long as they don't continue to go down the wrong path.
Shang Ruoyu poured Qin Chu another cup of tea. "You still need to be careful. That Qi Qingqing won't give up. After this incident, she will be wary of me, and it will be very difficult to deal with her."
"I understand! If not, I'll run. I'm now at the Sixth-Stage King Realm Cultivation. If I had been at the Sixth-Stage King Realm when you captured me, I estimate you wouldn't have been able to capture me a second time, and some things might not have happened," Qin Chu said.
"Hmm, Cultivating to the Sixth-Stage King Realm at twenty years old is a remarkable achievement, but it still can't compare to some Cultivators who have been famous for many years. You still need to seize the opportunity to improve," Shang Ruoyu said after sizing up Qin Chu.
Drinking tea and conversing, Qin Chu and Shang Ruoyu communicated very well.
"You entered the Heavenly Sword Mountain. Wasn't it for the Sword Emperor's Legacy?" Qin Chu asked, looking at Shang Ruoyu.
"Yes, but the damn Heavenly Sword Mountain is very resistant to me. After passing the Ninth-level Sword Intent area, I couldn't advance any further. The Sword Intent of the Heavenly Sword Mountain even formed a Sword momentum to suppress me," Shang Ruoyu said, explaining what she didn't understand.
"That's because you don't meet the requirements for the Sword Emperor's Legacy. To become an Emperor... at the very least, one cannot fail at the same level. Before you entered the Heavenly Sword Mountain, you failed in a confrontation with the Black Prison Master," Qin Chu said.
"Defeated by the Black Prison Master... that wasn't a failure at the same level. His Cultivation was much higher than mine, so that's not a disgrace," Shang Ruoyu said after thinking for a moment.
Qin Chu hesitated for a moment. "Then let me tell you something else. The Sword Emperor's Legacy requires having a Sword Spirit Realm. Do you have one?"
"Then I'm doomed. Where would I get a Sword Spirit Realm? But it doesn't matter if I don't get the Legacy. Sword momentum... I can study the Sword momentum of the Heavenly Sword Mountain," Shang Ruoyu said.
During their conversation, the sky gradually brightened. Shang Ruoyu stood up. "Qin Chu, I'm leaving now. See you at your wedding."
