Chapter 63: Final Light
“Boom!”
As Chen Buyong pressed the controller, a deafening explosion was heard in Bitao Forest, and an enormous fireball shot up into the sky, instantly turning the night into day, which was brighter than the moon in the night sky.
Then, Shen Lang took the control in his hand and pressed them one by one.
“Boom!”
Deafening explosions sounded one after another, and fireballs rushed into the sky. The powerful shock waves broke countless large trees as thick as arms, rocks flew everywhere, and the earth began to tremble violently.
Shangguan Yu had to use the Golden Bell Cover again to resist the shock wave and protect Shen Lang and his companions. Even so, his robe was still whirring and cut into several holes!
One can imagine the horror of these mines exploding one after another!
It was not until dawn that everything gradually returned to calm, leaving behind scars all over the ground, recording what had happened in Bitao Forest!
The three carriages set off again, passing through the Bitao Forest without any stops along the way. At dusk, they finally arrived at Baiyun City. After getting off the carriages, they headed straight for the Baiyun City Lord's Mansion!
"Miss...Miss, you...you're back!" The butler rushed out immediately after receiving the report from the guard at the door.
"Butler, where is my uncle?" Qingsi asked quickly.
"The city lord..." Upon hearing this, the butler's expression became a little solemn and he sighed.
Hearing what the housekeeper said, Qingsi's heart immediately began to lift: "What's wrong with uncle? Tell me quickly!" Qingsi, who was always gentle and elegant, was at a loss at this moment.
"Come with me!" The butler did not explain. He turned around and took Qingsi and the others to the city lord's room, pushed open the door and walked in.
At this time, there were two doctors inside who were taking the city lord's pulse. They were shocked when they didn't expect the butler to push the door open directly.
"uncle!"
When Qingsi saw the city lord lying on the bed with a pale face, tears immediately flowed out of her eyes. She ran over and knelt on the ground: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
The city lord opened his eyes with all his strength, looked at Qingsi who was kneeling beside the bed and crying, and forced a smile: "You're back!"
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Qingsi cried, her voice a little hoarse.
"The city lord's body should not be shaken violently!" The doctor standing next to him spoke in a low voice as he watched Qingsi shaking the city lord's body.
"Tell me, what happened to my uncle?" Qingsi stood up suddenly, like an angry lion, staring at the doctor with sharp eyes, and shouted word by word.
The doctor was an old man in his seventies. He was frightened by Qingsi's aura and his legs became weak and he could hardly stand. The doctor beside him quickly supported the old man and said, "Miss, the city lord... the city lord has been poisoned!"
"Poisoned?" Qingsi's eyebrows stood up when she heard this, and her pretty face was distorted with anger: "Who poisoned me?"
"This...this has not been found out yet!" The butler was standing aside, trembling as if sitting on pins and needles. He had never seen Qingsi so angry before.
"Haven't found out yet?" Qingsi turned her head and looked at the housekeeper standing beside her, her eyes full of coldness: "What do you do for a living?"
“I…I…” The housekeeper’s forehead was covered with cold sweat and he couldn’t utter a word. Then he knelt on the ground with a “thump”: “I am guilty, I am guilty!”
"Black hair!"
The city lord lying on the bed called out with all his might and tried to struggle to sit up, but he couldn't even lift his arms.
"Uncle, uncle!" When Qingsi heard the city lord's voice, her heart felt as if it was stabbed by countless knives and was dripping with blood. She knelt in front of the city lord's bed again.
"Don't blame him!" The city lord looked at the housekeeper who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, and gently moved his fingers: "Let...they all go out!"
"Dean, please keep an eye on them and don't let any of them go!" Qingsi turned her head and spoke to Shangguan Yu with tearful eyes.
"Well, don't worry!" Shangguan Yu and the city lord have been friends for many years. At this moment, his face was covered with frost. He moved his right hand and directly controlled the two doctors and the housekeeper. He waved his hand and threw the three of them out, and closed the door with a "creak".
"Lord City Lord, what is going on?" Shen Lang's face was gloomy as he squatted in front of the bed and spoke.
" What's wrong with you, uncle?" Chang Rumo and Mingyue's children also burst into tears.
"I'm fine!"
The city lord smiled, said something, and then actually sat up and looked at them with a bright look.
Suddenly, all these people were stunned , and the whole room fell into dead silence. Qingsi even had tears in her eyes, looking at the city lord, and did not come back to her senses for a long time.
"Silly child, uncle is fine!" The city lord spoke softly, smiled, and reached out to wipe away the tears from his black eyes.
"Uncle!" Qingsi was stunned for a moment, then threw herself into the city lord's arms and burst into tears again.
Shen Lang's expression was very interesting. Looking at the pale-faced city lord, he asked tentatively: "Lord City Lord, are you... having a last burst of energy?"
The city lord was a little amused when he heard this, and said, "What do you mean by last gasp? I said I'm fine!"
"People always look like you before they die. It must be a last gasp of life!" Shen Lang sighed and said, "If you have any unfulfilled wishes, just tell me. I will definitely do it. I will take good care of Qingsi, don't worry!"
"Well……"
"Uncle!" Chang Rumo and Mingyue burst into tears again when they heard it.
“Hey hey hey!”
The city lord quickly waved his hands and said, "It's really not a last gasp!"
"Uncle, Qingsi is back, don't worry!" Qingsi sat up from the city lord's arms, her eyes were swollen at this time, and tears were still falling one by one: "Qingsi will be fine, don't worry, you will get better!"
"Well……"
"I said, I'm fine!" the city lord continued.
"Your face is as white as paper, but you're still fine!" Shen Lang pointed at the city lord's face and said, "My wife...ah...Qingsi, quickly contact your parents and ask them to come and see the city lord!"
"Yeah!" Qingsi nodded quickly, turned around and was about to run out to write a letter.
“Hey hey hey!”
The city lord's mouth twitched stiffly. I said I was fine, but you really want me to have a last burst of vitality and die on the spot?
"Come back!" The city lord gently waved his right hand and controlled Qingsi: "I'm really fine!"
"It's over, it's over, they've all started using their martial energy, this is the last sign of their last gasp!" Shen Lang jumped up, quickly pulled his black hair back to the window and said, "Hurry up and stay with your uncle, we'll talk about the letter later!"
"Yeah!" Qingsi nodded quickly, her nose felt sore, and she hugged the city lord's arm and started crying again.
"Uncle!"
