Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 90 Wanting to Set Off Alone

Huan Yuechu smiled gently and said, "Silly girl, don't blame yourself. It was just an accident; nobody wanted it to happen like this." After saying that, she continued...

"What you need to do now is focus on recovering and getting better as soon as possible. As long as you're alright, what does my injury matter?" After saying that, she gently closed her eyes, as if even speaking required a great deal of effort.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the breathtaking scene before them, and a deep sense of admiration for Huan Yuechu welled up in their hearts.

They witnessed Huan Yuechu overcome one seemingly insurmountable difficulty and formidable enemy after another with her tenacious perseverance and extraordinary strength.

However, only Huan Yuechu herself knew that although she looked majestic on the surface, she was actually extremely weak and needed time to recuperate and recover her strength.

Nevertheless, Huan Yuechu did not leave empty-handed after this thrilling battle.

She not only successfully defended her dignity and beliefs, but also unexpectedly gained a sincere and precious friendship.

This friendship was like a beacon in the darkness, bringing her warmth and hope when she was exhausted.

That being said, when the night was deep and quiet, Huan Yuechu, lying alone on the cold bed, was acutely aware of the severity of her situation.

The 30% of profound spiritual power that had been painstakingly acquired vanished in an instant, like a receding tide, as if it had never been possessed at all, returning to its initial insignificance.

This huge sense of disparity made her feel powerless and frustrated.

Fortunately, there's always a way out. In any case, at least she saved her precious life. As long as you're alive, there are endless possibilities.

Wen Xingyu gently helped Huan Yuechu lie down on the bed, then carefully pulled the blanket over her and tucked her in.

Looking at Huan Yuechu, whose face was as pale as paper and whose breath was weak, Xingyu felt heartache and her eyes reddened, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Sister Yuechu, how could you be so foolish? All of this was clearly directed at me! Why would you risk your own safety to take all this for me?" Xingyu's voice choked with sobs, filled with endless self-blame and worry.

Huan Yuechu struggled to raise her hand and gently patted Xingyu's hand, comforting her, "Don't be sad, Xingyu. I'm still quite healthy, I'll recover quickly."

Moreover, if I were in that dangerous situation, I believe you would make the same choice without hesitation.

However, only Huan Yuechu herself knew that if she were the selfish and self-serving person she used to be, she would never have made such a foolish and risky move.

But now, after experiencing so many things, she is no longer the person she used to be.

Time passed day by day, even though several days had already gone by.

However, Huan Yuechu's physical condition was still very weak, and she needed help from others to even get up.

Every slight movement caused a sharp pain, making her involuntarily furrow her brow.

Even so, she still forced herself to endure the discomfort and managed a smile for the people who cared about her.

When I was desperate and had nowhere else to turn, I tried anything and everything.

"The seven emotions, is there any way to get rid of this poison? So far, I can only suppress it temporarily."

Qiqing calmly replied, "Master, the poison you have been afflicted with is extremely potent. To completely eradicate it, the only way is to find five spirit pearls."

Upon hearing this, my heart sank, and I quickly asked, "Then where should we find these five spirit pearls?"

Before she could finish speaking, Huan Yuechu had already frowned deeply.

After pausing for a moment, Qi Qing continued slowly, "According to rumors, these five spirit pearls are scattered in various mysterious places around the world. The first spirit pearl is hidden in an ancient ruin deep in the misty forest."

"However, that place is fraught with danger. Not only is the journey treacherous and difficult, but it is also riddled with all sorts of traps and mechanisms that are impossible to avoid. A single misstep could lead to utter ruin!"

Huan Yuechu clenched her teeth tightly, thinking to herself, "No matter what, even if the road ahead is difficult and full of thorns, I must give it a try."

After making up their minds, the next morning arrived quickly.

Early that morning, I found Chongyang and solemnly entrusted him with the important task of guarding the inn, while explaining to him that I needed to leave temporarily for some time.

However, when Chongyang learned that I planned to go out alone to find a certain place, he immediately expressed strong opposition and tried to stop me. He was worried about a patient going out alone.

Just when we were at an impasse, something unexpected happened—Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu happened to come to visit me.

This sudden change has made the already somewhat chaotic situation even more complicated.

My plan to escape smoothly has now completely vanished.

When Chongyang saw Xu Yan approaching from afar, his eyes suddenly lit up as if he had found a savior. He immediately rushed forward and anxiously complained to Xu Yan.

"Brother Xu Yan, you have to help me! Sister Yuechu has gone crazy for some reason and insists on going out alone to find the antidote."

"Tell me, she's seriously injured right now, and she can barely walk. How can she just go out like this? What if something happens to her on the way?!"

Upon hearing Chongyang's urgent words, Xu Yan's heart tightened, and she quickly looked in the direction Chongyang was pointing.

Huan Yuechu stood there quietly, her face as pale as paper, but her eyes were unusually firm.

Xu Yan frowned, quickly walked up to Huan Yuechu, and said earnestly.

"Madam, I'm not trying to be mean, but with your current physical condition, it's really not suitable for long journeys and travel. Not to mention the various dangers and accidents you might encounter on the road, your injuries will only get worse if you don't rest and recuperate properly."

Huan Yuechu was just about to speak and explain what was on her mind to everyone.

However, at that moment, Wen Xingyu spoke first. "Perhaps we can go together!"

Her sudden words surprised everyone present, and all eyes turned to her.

Wen Xingyu continued speaking with a faint smile on her face, appearing very calm and composed.

"Many hands make light work, and one more person means one more source of help! Besides, I have quite a bit of research experience with ancient ruins and the like, so if we encounter any problems or difficulties, I might actually be able to come in handy!"

Huan Yuechu had a sudden thought. This might not be a bad idea. With Wen Xingyu by her side, dealing with traps and mechanisms might be easier.

Seeing this, Xu Yan nodded, "Then I'll go with you too, so I can take care of you on the way."
