Chapter 194 1 half?
The sudden weightlessness and the water rushing into her nose made her unable to breathe. She had never been in water before and didn't know if she could learn to swim in a life-and-death situation.
My hands and feet fluttered in the water involuntarily.
"Help...Help..." She shouted these two words instinctively.
After a brief moment of fear, her feet found the bottom, supporting her as she stood up suddenly.
“Cough, cough… cough…”
She climbed onto the edge of the pool and emerged from the water. A lot of water came out of her nose and she felt extremely uncomfortable. Her wet hair was a mess and covered her face.
When she calmed down and looked down, she found that the water level was only at her waist, and even when she sat down, it was only at her shoulders.
The pool water was not freezing cold, but rather warm, like a natural hot spring, with steam rising from it.
A red stain spread across the water surface. That was the blood on her body. Faintly, she suddenly felt that she was not in so much pain anymore.
Is this a medicine pool?
Realizing this, Jiang Tingwan lay down by the pool and looked at Mu Yunzhong standing on the shore in disbelief.
"You won't kill me?"
He just looked down at her, a smile forming at the corner of his lips as he saw her miserable appearance.
"What's the point of killing you? Although you are not Bai Wangshu, you occupy this body. Torturing you can also relieve some of the resentment I have had over the years. Just like when I saw you about to drown just now, I felt very happy."
He looked down at the person in the pool, and his tone seemed to be a bit stubborn.
Jiang Tingwan keenly grasped this point, and he clung to the edge of the pool and moved closer to him, and asked him with a smile: "Do you want to drown me? Or do you want to save me?"
Mu Yun finally turned his head, looked at her slightly, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Jiang Tingwan continued, "I was frightened just now and didn't pay attention for a moment, but after staying in this pool for a while, I suddenly found that my blood circulation is much smoother. If I'm not mistaken, this is a medicine pool, right? You are obviously saving me, but you insist on saying it's torture, Mu Yunzhong, why are you so twisted?"
She directly exposed Mu Yunzhong's thoughts and looked into his eyes unconsciously, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Mu Yunzhong's eyes flickered slightly. After taking a deep look at Jiang Tingwan, he sneered, "It seems that your spirit has indeed improved a lot, but since it is torture, I can neither let you die nor let you have an easy life..."
Hearing this, Jiang Tingwan was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a palm-sized jar appear in Mu Yunzhong's hand.
Mu Yun finally squatted by the pool, only an arm's length away from Jiang Tingwan.
"What do you mean?"
"Of course I want to add something for you?" Mu Yunzhong's eyes fell on the jar in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.
"What is this?" Jiang Tingwan also looked over as he did.
"Salt!"
"Add salt?" Jiang Tingwan's voice suddenly rose an octave. "Are you okay? What kind of salt do you want to add?"
Recalling his own body full of wounds, Jiang Tingwan was simply astonished and shocked. In the world of cultivating immortals, stabbing someone in the back and then adding salt to the wound?
"Not just salt, but also chili powder..." Jiang Tingwan was extremely confused, but he didn't notice that Mu Yunzhong's expression gradually became gnashing of teeth, "Pepper, Sichuan pepper, soy sauce..."
Jiang Tingwan finally became frightened. Was he going to turn himself into a dish?
"No, listen to me..." Jiang Tingwan was about to persuade her, but Mu Yunzhong interrupted her directly.
"I found these things in the inner room when I just woke up?" His expression became incredible, and it was obvious that he could not understand this matter.
He looked at Jiang Tingwan in the water and asked himself almost word by word, "In two months, I not only practiced the Three Yuan Jue, entered the realm of transformation and opened up the inner room, but also put these things in?"
His expression was very much like a question, but more of it was a kind of doubt and confusion about life, as if only the reason of being possessed by evil spirits could explain such a situation.
Hearing his words, Jiang Tingwan was relieved at first, but was also shocked. He could only quickly explain, "I swear, I definitely didn't ask you to do this! I just praised your superb cooking skills and agreed with you to sit down and have a meal together every day, that's all. And I didn't force you. Sometimes you get angry if I don't eat!"
Jiang Tingwan hurriedly explained the matter, fearing that he would feel that she had enslaved him and made him serve as her little cook every day. Although she had this idea at first, she was surviving in the wilderness at that time and had no choice but to do so.
After hearing her explanation, Mu Yunzhong's gaze relaxed for a moment, because he finally heard something that happened between him and her, which was also something that Lin Shuyu could not tell him.
"So you know it?" He asked as if he was interrogating someone. The jar in his hand was opened and he looked like he was about to pour something into it.
Jiang Tingwan was stunned by the question. She only knew about the inner house in her dream in Pingxia City, and she only knew that he raised fish and grew melons in it. How could she know that he even put seasonings in it?
Seeing that Jiang Tingwan did not respond in time, Mu Yun finally stretched out his hand and tilted it slightly, and the white particles in the jar were about to fall into it.
Jiang Tingwan was so scared that he stood up and quickly grabbed his hand to stop him.
Although it's okay to dilute the water in such a large pool, there's no guarantee that he will add other seasonings later. If they are all poured in, the medicine pool can become a hot pot soup base.
"I do know about this..." she admitted, but after saying this, she added, "half."
Mu Yun finally tilted his head to look at her, his deep eyes fixed on her, as if asking: What does half mean?
"I saw your dream before in Pingxia City, and that's when I learned about this matter. But in the dream you only said that you raised fish and planted melons in the inner house. As for this seasoning, and whether there was anything else, I don't know."
Jiang Tingwan's words were sincere, but when Mu Yunzhong heard the word "Pingxia City", his eyes flickered again. He paused for a moment before he asked hesitantly, "What happened in Pingxia City?"
Hearing his words, Jiang Tingwan was stunned for a moment before reacting, "So you want to know what happened in the past two months? Is that right?"
Jiang Tingwan's expression instantly relaxed, and he let go of his hand. He said to Mu Yunzhong enthusiastically, "If you want to ask this, you can just ask directly. You took this detour and scared me. I almost thought you were going to cook me."
Jiang Tingwan looked into his eyes, sincerely and passionately, even a little happy. As long as he still had some thoughts about the forgotten things, it meant that he was no longer the Mu Yunzhong in the original plot.
