Chapter 682: The Wrath of Zhou Qingyu

Inside the room.

Zhou Qingyu set Wang Jianqiang down and took out a Jade Bottle.

Inside the Jade Bottle were ten Third-tier Intermediate Healing Pills.

These were the highest-grade Healing Pills she had on her, and there were only these ten.

She looked at Wang Jianqiang and opened the Jade Bottle.

She took out one Pill and fed it into Wang Jianqiang's mouth.

Then, she placed her palm on Wang Jianqiang's body and used all her strength to refine it for him.

After refining one Pill, the vitality in Wang Jianqiang's body improved slightly.

But he did not wake up.

Regarding this situation, Zhou Qingyu had already heard about it from Huang Xue.

She had been mentally prepared.

She simply assumed it was a peculiarity of his Five Elements Spiritual Root constitution and felt no surprise.

She took out the second Healing Pill and fed it to him.

She continued to help him refine it.

Then the third, the fourth...

Until the fifth Pill was halfway refined, Wang Jianqiang finally regained a sliver of consciousness.

"Don't~ don't hit me~"

A weak voice came from his mouth, and his palms pushed and grabbed about in a flurry.

The next moment.

Zhou Qingyu froze on the spot.

She lowered her head to look, her face turning a shade of red.

However, she was in the middle of helping Wang Jianqiang refine the Pill, so she could not be careless.

Wang Daniu's cultivation was too low; the slightest negligence and he would be affected by her power.

She dared not be the least bit careless.

She forcibly focused her attention and continued to help Wang Daniu refine the medicinal power.

Until the medicinal power of the fifth Pill was completely dissolved.

She hurriedly retreated, breaking free from Wang Daniu's pushing.

Seeing that although Wang Daniu's vitality had recovered quite a bit, he was still not fully conscious.

She hesitated for a moment.

She stepped forward and fed Wang Daniu the sixth Pill.

As expected.

She once again encountered Wang Daniu's "unconscious pushing."

After arduously helping him refine the medicinal power, Zhou Qingyu retreated again.

Just as she retreated to a "safe distance" and was carefully observing Wang Daniu's condition.

Wang Daniu's eyelids suddenly fluttered, then slowly opened.

The instant he opened his eyes.

"Don't hit me!"

He suddenly cried out in terror, struggling as he tried to get up.

Immediately after, he groaned and collapsed back down.

Then.

Seeming to discover that he was no longer in Huang Xue's Medicine Garden.

The look of terror on his face eased slightly, but was replaced by a touch of confusion, "Where is this?"

Seeing this, a flash of intense dissatisfaction crossed Zhou Qingyu's eyes.

This dissatisfaction was not directed at Wang Daniu, but at Huang Xue.

That Huang Xue had actually traumatized Wang Daniu.

She walked forward, looked at Wang Jianqiang, and said softly, "Wang Daniu, don't be afraid. You are in my room now; no one will hit you."

Seeing Zhou Qingyu appear, the terror on Wang Jianqiang's face instantly vanished.

"Third Miss."

He wanted to get up, but just as his body lifted slightly, he fell back down again.

"Your injuries are severe; don't move for now."

Zhou Qingyu pressed down on Wang Jianqiang's shoulder.

Wang Jianqiang quieted down and looked at Zhou Qingyu, a flash of shame crossing his eyes, "Third Miss, you let me go help the Huang Fairy plant the Medicine Garden, but I angered the Huang Fairy several times."

"It was nothing to suffer some verbal abuse in the past, but I didn't expect that this time I would cause the Third Miss to worry and spend money."

"It's all my fault."

Zhou Qingyu sighed, "You were lazy and negligent while helping Senior Sister Huang plant the Medicine Garden, causing most of the Medicinal Herbs in her garden to die; it is normal for her to be dissatisfied with you."

"However, for her to lay such a heavy hand on you is indeed going too far."

Hearing Zhou Qingyu's words, a look of confusion appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face, "Third Miss, I wasn't lazy or negligent, and I didn't let her Medicinal Herbs die either."

"Hmm?"

Zhou Qingyu was stunned, "Then what was this about you angering her?"

"I don't know either."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head with a bewildered look on his face, "Every time I leave Third Miss's place with Huang Fairy, Huang Fairy's expression immediately becomes very ugly."

"Her tone of voice also becomes very cold, and even a little... vulgar..."

Zhou Qingyu frowned, revealing a thoughtful look.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Zhou Qingyu with a cautious gaze and continued, "She insulted me several times without any warning. I don't know where I offended her, so I just assumed that was her personality and that she looked down on a lowly servant like me."

"She even set rules for me, requiring me to only rest during the Zi Hour and Yin Hour each day. Outside of those times, I must stay in the Medicine Garden and cannot rest for even a moment."

Speaking to this point, his voice suddenly became a little quieter, "That day, I was too tired, so I privately took a chair and sat down to rest in the Medicine Garden."

"I didn't expect Huang Fairy to suddenly rush over, and then she attacked me without any warning."

"And then I... didn't know anything anymore..."

Speaking to this point, a flash of hesitation crossed Wang Jianqiang's face.

"Could it be... that she attacked me because she was dissatisfied with my work attitude?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qingyu's face had already turned ice-cold.

Wang Daniu was merely a small Cultivator at the Qi Refining First Layer.

To put it nicely, he was a practitioner.

To put it bluntly, he was actually just a mortal with slightly greater strength.

He still had to eat and sleep like a mortal.

From the Zi Hour to the Yin Hour, that was only two hours of rest time.

How could he possibly get enough rest?

And besides those two hours, he had to work the entire remaining time...

How could he possibly endure this kind of workload?

Under these circumstances, Wang Daniu hadn't even gone on strike or reported it to her.

He just took a chair and rested outside the house for a moment.

What was wrong with that?

Was even that not allowed?

That Huang Xue was clearly trying to work Wang Daniu to death!

So it wasn't her servant, so she didn't need to feel sorry for him, right?

Or perhaps...

Seeing that she had such an obedient and capable servant, she was jealous?

This Huang Xue had always appeared gentle and friendly in front of her; she never expected her to be so vicious behind her back!

Zhou Qingyu took a deep breath and said softly, "Wang Daniu, this matter is not your fault; it is all that Huang Xue's fault."

"I will definitely stand up for you in this matter!"

After speaking, she turned around, intending to walk out the door.

She did not have the slightest doubt about Wang Daniu's words.

Wang Daniu had never disobeyed any of her orders, nor had he ever deceived her.

She knew Wang Daniu's character very well.

The other party would absolutely not lie to her, so...

It must be that Huang Xue had lied to her!

Seeing that Zhou Qingyu was about to leave, a look of intense anxiety appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face.

"Third Miss, please, you must not offend Huang Fairy for my sake."

"Didn't you say before that you had just joined the Beast Taming Sect and needed to be low-key and cautious?"

"Huang Xue is a senior Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect and your fellow sect member; there is no benefit for you in offending her."

"I am just a servant, a lowly life."

"Not to mention I didn't die, even if I had, it wouldn't be worth Third Miss doing this~"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Zhou Qingyu's footsteps paused.

A feeling of bitterness suddenly welled up in her heart.

At this moment, she finally understood why Wang Daniu did not report to her or resist in the slightest after being insulted and treated harshly.

It turned out it was because he had firmly kept in his heart the instructions she gave when she entered the sect.

What a sensible and obedient servant.

Having suffered such great grievances, and nearly losing his life, he was still thinking of her.

If she didn't do something, how could she have the face to face Wang Daniu in the future?

"Wang Daniu, although you are a servant, your life is not lowly."

"I indeed do not want to invite trouble, but if someone dares to bully us, I am not afraid."

"If I do not avenge this, I am not worthy of you calling me Third Miss."

After speaking, she opened the door with a cold gaze.
