The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 883: This Young Man Looks a Bit Like Me

Everyone present, except for Nanli and the Eleven Shans, had no idea what Ji Chengyi was referring to with the term "Glassy Bottle." Crimson Glow Peak Master was even more incredulous, exclaiming, "Senior Sect Leader, what are you talking about?! She has dared to offend the Seven Peaks Sect—how can we let her off so easily?"

"Silence, I have my own plans," Ji Chengyi said coldly. "Nanli, I have already made a concession. What is your response?"

He was not lying when he said he was nervous about Nanli’s direct approach to Yunxiao Peak. Moreover, with one person still missing, the Sky Net Formation was not at full power. If the news of Yun Yubai’s poisoning were to leak out, could he still hold onto his position as the Sect Leader? Thus, he made a quick decision to propose handing over the Glassy Bottle. In doing so, he could not only silence Nanli but also poison her. Although the loss was significant, with the Human World now having spiritual energy, they could always find a way to migrate there once Nanli was dead.

Nanli, however, turned her eyes and said instead, "You should know that I did not come for the Glassy Bottle this time. Ji Chengyi, if you hand over the antidote for Thousand Miles of Ice now and save Master Yun, I will spare your life."

Ji Chengyi was taken aback but still asked, "The Glassy Bottle is your flesh and blood, your inner pill. You are not taking it back, and instead, you went through all this trouble just to save Yun Yubai?"

He truly could not comprehend. He had almost handed over the Glassy Bottle to her; why wouldn’t she agree?

"That’s correct," Nanli said. "Ji Chengyi, you only have this one path to choose."

Ji Chengyi quickly calmed down. Since she was talking about principles, why not go along with her wishes? The current Yun Yubai was likely suffering from the cold poison attacking his heart, even his Dantian inner pill was affected. If Nanli got close and touched him, she would either suffer damage to her cultivation or, worse, be infected with the cold poison. The outcome would be the same.

"There is no antidote," Ji Chengyi said. "Since you know about the Thousand Miles of Ice poison, you should also know how difficult it is to prepare the antidote for the cold poison. Nanli, why insist on doing something meaningless?"

Nanli, with a cold expression, cut off the communication through the Telestone without another word.

At this moment, Crimson Glow Peak Master was at a loss, staring blankly at Nanli. She asked, "Junior brother... is he really poisoned?"

"Yes," Nanli nodded. She had already walked to the cave entrance and examined the talisman formation barrier. After assessing the situation, she asked Yun Shen, who had the lowest cultivation among them, to move farther away and also gave him a talisman for protection. She took out the Heaven Star Brush and drew a talisman in the air to break the formation, then flicked it down with a snap of her fingers.

With a bang, the talisman formation barrier was shattered. At the same time, a surge of cold air immediately poured out from the cave, and the entire mountain peak seemed to enter winter instantly. Nanli, protected by the talisman, was not affected by the surging cold air. However, after the heavy frost and mist dissipated, she cast a Fire Talisman to check the inside of the cave.

Crimson Glow Peak Master also stumbled over. But the inside was already filled with a chilling cold, covered in frost. The flame from the Fire Talisman barely lasted a moment before it was extinguished by the cold air. Seeing this, Nanli immediately gathered more and stronger spiritual power to draw another Fire Talisman. When she cast it again, the flame, protected by spiritual power, could last for a while. Thus, it illuminated everything inside the cave.

There was a figure made of ice, covered in layers of frost. One could vaguely discern the features of Yun Yubai. This sight made both Crimson Glow Peak Master and Yun Shen extremely sorrowful, and they shouted in a heart-wrenching manner.

"Junior brother... junior brother! It really is you, isn’t it?"

"Master! Ninth Princess, please think of a way to detoxify Master."

Seeing their increasing sadness, Nanli felt helpless and said, "Leave it to me, move farther away." She picked a leaf from a Grass of Five Flames, ground it into cinnabar, and then drew a Fire Talisman, which could slowly melt the ice and snow. The ice and snow on Yun Yubai’s body also began to melt, although the process was rather slow.

At this moment, the Sky Net Formation’s cold light struck again. Crimson Glow Peak Master remembered the impending danger. She couldn’t do much to help, so she immediately used the Telestone to contact Snowy Peak Master. She had to let her fellow disciples know about the Sect Leader’s malicious intentions!

"Junior brother is indeed poisoned!" Crimson Glow Peak Master said. "Just now, the Sect Leader also admitted that he did it. Stop immediately and don’t assist in this evil deed."

Snowy Peak Master replied, "The Sect Leader was right; you are being manipulated and speaking nonsense."

"I am not speaking nonsense! What I said is the truth!"

"Senior sister, don’t worry. The cold blades of the Sky Net Formation won’t hurt you. Soon, you will be rescued."

The communication was cut off. Crimson Glow Peak Master was furious and tried to contact the other Peak Masters, but without exception, they either did not respond to the spiritual message or repeated the same words, not believing her. She sat down dejectedly, feeling utterly powerless.

Yun Shen comforted her, "Senior uncle, this Vajra Formation is very sturdy and won’t be broken. You don’t need to worry."

Crimson Glow Peak Master shook her head, "Your safety is one thing, but... them being deceived is another."

She couldn’t understand why the Sect Leader would go to such lengths. This was their junior brother! The very person they had watched grow up!

However, the frost in the cave had receded significantly, with streams of water flowing out. Similarly, the frost on Yun Yubai’s body had completely melted. But his cold poison was too deep, and the fire almost exhausted its spiritual power and went out before he opened his eyes. He felt as if he had been in a place of perpetual coldness, with no light, only endless freezing cold. But just now, he suddenly felt a thread of warmth that was gradually spreading.

He first heard voices and felt a surge of joy and excitement. After waiting for a while longer, he was able to open his eyes. The first thing he saw was Nanli’s worried face. She seemed to have encountered a great opportunity, and her appearance and temperament had changed slightly compared to before. However, before he could take it all in, Crimson Glow Peak Master and Yun Shen squeezed over and shouted loudly:

"Junior brother!"

"Master!"

They wanted to rush over, but Nanli, who had been pushed aside, quickly teleported and grabbed their collars, saying, "You must not go over there; the cold poison in his body has not been resolved yet."

The two were stunned. Crimson Glow Peak Master asked, "How could that be? The frost on junior brother’s body is gone."

Nanli explained, "This is just using the Grass of Five Flames to temporarily remove the frost and make him regain consciousness."

The flame had been extinguished for a while. Yun Yubai, who had been able to move his fingers, was now once again stiff all over, with frost reappearing on his body.

At the same time, Yun Jianchu, who had been observing from within Nanli’s body, let out a scream: "This young man is really handsome! He looks a bit like me!"

Nanli thought to herself: Don’t flatter yourself.

Only Yun Jianchu knew what she was thinking and continued, "I’m serious! Nanli, I now command you to detoxify and save him!"

Although it was a man’s body, considering that he looked like her, she endured it!
