Chapter 1000

Qing Mei took a sip and put the bowl down, not expecting the bitterness of this thing to exceed her expectations so much.

But looking at Chen Ang's eyes, she could only bite the bullet and drink it all.

Watching Qing Mei drink it all, Chen Ang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and stuffed several plums into her mouth.

"Aunt said it's best not to eat sugar after drinking this medicine, so I took a few plums. Wait a while, after you drink the porridge, we'll go catch fish together."

"You really want to go? We don't lack people to cook here. If you really want to go out, why don't you accompany me for a walk?"

Qing Mei issued an invitation.

She rarely took the initiative to mention anything, and most of the time she was obediently by his side.

It was because she was too obedient that Chen Ang felt even more heartbroken for her.

"If you have a place you want to go, that's even better. I was worried you'd dislike my craftsmanship. After all, we aren't professional cooks."

Chen Ang joked awkwardly.

After speaking, he waited at the door. After Qing Mei finished washing up, the two left.

Perhaps because of the previous experience, this time Qing Mei didn't go far.

Instead, she took him wandering around the Butterfly Clan's stronghold.

They saw quite a few Butterfly Clan people planting flowers and grass, and the rich floral fragrance floated in the air, as if dyeing the whole air with color.

Seeing Chen Ang and Qing Mei, quite a few young girls covered their mouths and laughed, clearly knowing their story.

This also made the two a bit awkward, so they just walked silently.

"The Butterfly Clan is really quite different from the Dragon Clan. Things like just now wouldn't happen in the Dragon Clan."

Qing Mei shook her head, rarely refuting: "I don't believe it. According to your personality, you definitely haven't walked like this in the Dragon Clan."

"I just feel that regardless of the clan, the only difference in girls is their personality. Those thoughts should be roughly the same."

"Therefore, the conflicts between these clans might also be eliminated. After all, most clans aren't natural enemies, right?"

Listening to Qing Mei's statement, Chen Ang felt he was about to be persuaded.

However, he didn't quite understand why she would suddenly say this.

Chen Ang just looked at Qing Mei blankly.

However, before he could say anything, the other party had already smiled and covered up the words.

"I was just sighing, why? Are you thinking too much?"

"No, it's just that I rarely hear you say such things."

Chen Ang breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt something was wrong.

It seemed that ever since Qing Mei woke up, she had been in this state of emotionless fluctuation. Apart from acting like a spoiled child with him, she didn't mention the matter of being taken away at all.

This state was absolutely wrong.

He wanted to ask, but didn't know where to start. After all, if he really leaked something she shouldn't know, that could definitely be counted as a sin.

He also didn't want to bring up those things that would make her sad.

Just as he was thinking about how to ask, Qing Mei had already taken the initiative to speak.

"Brother Chen Ang, actually I know a place where the scenery is especially beautiful, but I don't quite remember where it is. Why don't you accompany me to find it today?"

"Good."

Chen Ang agreed immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qing Mei already shuttling through the flower bushes. Her figure was originally petite, and running like this, she was as agile as a real butterfly.

Chen Ang was stunned, but still chased after her quickly.

The two played around all the way, and arrived at a small hillside.

At this moment, the sun was slowly setting, the dazzling light was covered by clouds, leaving only an orange egg yolk.

The orange-yellow light enveloped Qing Mei, illuminating her warmly, and Chen Ang couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Qing Mei also returned a smile, then faced the sunset and fell onto the hillside, and patted the side of her body at him.

Chen Ang naturally leaned over very obediently.

Qing Mei then said slowly: "It's so good, we can still lie here quietly and watch the sun like this."

"Just stay here for twenty, thirty years, until we are both old."

Chen Ang turned his head and reached out to interlock his fingers with hers.

"It's not like it's impossible."

"As long as you are willing, I will stay here and accompany you for a lifetime, just like this, accompanying you to sunbathe, take medicine, and take walks every day."

Qing Mei stopped talking, just looking at Chen Ang eye to eye. The air was so quiet that only their heartbeats could be heard, and this heartbeat was also accelerating.

However, it was Qing Mei who calmed down first, and spoke with a decisive tone.

"But it's impossible."

"I know, Brother Chen Ang is good to me, and treats me sincerely. However, that was just my wish, not yours."

"You clearly want to roam around, and evolve yourself to the extreme, right? You clearly have so many things you want to do."

Qing Mei's tone gradually lowered, and tears fell in large drops.

"Actually, I heard it all, about me... being poisoned."

"I just want to tell you, don't vent your anger on an entire clan because of me, and you can rest assured and leave me behind to do the things you like."

Chen Ang didn't know why Qing Mei would say such things.

But he absolutely had no intention of leaving, let alone giving her up.

He said anxiously: "No, Qing Mei, listen to me, everyone is already looking for it, rest assured, we will definitely find a way to cure you."

"Also, I will absolutely not leave. If you can't leave this place anymore, I will stay here and accompany you for a lifetime."

"I, Chen Ang, keep my word, and will absolutely not break it, no matter what you think or say."

Chen Ang's words naturally moved Qing Mei, but apart from being moved, her other emotions were self-blame.

Tears became even more torrential, she simply cried in Chen Ang's arms, and only after she finally cried until she was tired did she raise her head and wipe away the tears.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Chen Ang could only sigh helplessly.

"Look at you, your eyes are all swollen from crying. If your father and mother see you when you go back, they will think I bullied you again."

"Then I'll sneak back to my room, and won't let them see." Qing Mei sniffled.

She then stood up, patted off the dust, and followed behind Chen Ang to go back.

Along the way, she looked at the man in front, only feeling inexplicably at ease. Thinking of the other party's promise just now, she couldn't help but be happy.

But thinking of her own body, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Just like this, influenced by two extreme emotions, she fell asleep soon after returning to the room.

Looking at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, Chen Ang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Getting up from the side of the bed, he soon went to the hall to meet Qingshan and Yang Qingcheng.

"Uncle, Aunt, you're back."

"How is Qing Mei?"

Qingshan and Yang Qingcheng were both more concerned about their daughter's situation.

At the same time, the wild joy in their eyes couldn't be concealed.

Regarding this, Chen Ang replied: "She's asleep. How about it, is there any good news?"

"We found a way." Yang Qingcheng couldn't hold back her temper and blurted out.

"Although it's a bit difficult, there is still hope. We found out that there is a 'Universal Antidote' called 'Variegated Grass', which only grows in the Far North. So, we are thinking of going there ourselves to find this herb."

"Therefore, for the days to come, you take good care of Qing Mei, and all the matters here are temporarily handed over to you to handle."

"How can this be!"

Chen Ang frowned and refused immediately.

First, he might not be able to handle the internal affairs of the Butterfly Clan well.

Secondly, the Far North is far away, and he doesn't know what dangers they will encounter on the way. Their abilities are not as good as his, so it might be a better choice for him to go.

Moreover, the habits of this Variegated Grass haven't been explored yet. Leaving so rashly might lead to returning empty-handed and wasting time.

Therefore, Chen Ang still tried to persuade the two.

"I think, let's put this matter aside for now. Once there is news from the Dragon Clan, we will decide who goes and who stays. Anyway, Qing Mei's poison won't flare up for a while."
