Chapter 1896
The Cowherd 15
The crowd they had brought in to judge the matter split into two factions—no, three factions, with another faction, like Liu Dong, simply there to watch the spectacle.
Suddenly, a maid ran out of the room, shouting, "Something terrible has happened! Miss has fainted!"
"what?"
The Chang couple disregarded the two families and immediately sent someone to fetch a doctor.
The doctor was actually watching the commotion from outside the Chang family's house when he heard that they were looking for him, so he immediately stepped forward.
Master Chang grabbed the doctor and rushed into the house.
The Gao and Li families stopped arguing and craned their necks to look into the Chang family's house, wanting to know how Chang'e was doing.
Liu Tong and the other two released their divine senses to observe the scene inside the Chang family's residence.
The gods in this world don't know how to use their divine sense. For example, when Monkey King wants to investigate something, he transforms into a fly or mosquito to sneak in and investigate.
Tianpeng and Kongxuan didn't know how to do it before, but Liu Dong taught them how to use their divine sense.
In his mind's eye, the doctor was taking Chang'e's pulse, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
"Doctor, how is my daughter?" Master Chang asked.
The doctor sighed, "Miss's heart meridian is damaged, and her condition has reached a critical stage. I'm afraid her time is running out."
"No!" Master Chang and Madam Chang could not accept it at all, and they pulled the doctor aside, begging him to save Chang'e's life.
The doctor just kept shaking his head, telling them to find someone more skilled.
Liu Tong took out a handful of melon seeds and distributed them to Kong Xuan and Tian Peng.
How can you watch a show without watching the drama unfold?
Don't say they have no compassion; they all saw that Chang'e wasn't sick, she was faking it.
She had a bead tucked under her armpit.
The news that Chang'e was dying reached outside the Chang family, and the Gao and Li families heard about it.
The marriage proposal could not continue, and both families had to call it quits and return home.
Liu and his two companions had originally planned to leave the county today, but now that they'd discovered there was a good show to watch, they weren't in a hurry to leave and decided to stay and continue watching.
Chang'e's condition was getting worse, and the doctor predicted that she would not live for more than half a month.
Master Chang and Madam Chang sent someone to the neighboring county to fetch a doctor, but the result was the same.
The entire county was filled with sorrow for Chang'e. How could such a beautiful girl have such a tragic fate?
At this time, a wandering monk came to the county town and heard about Chang'e's story.
The monk came to the Chang family and offered to save Chang'e.
Master Chang and Madam Chang immediately invited the monk into their home and had him treat Chang'e.
After examining Chang'e, the monk offered a treatment: using the heart's blood of a man who truly loved Chang'e as a medicinal ingredient would cure her.
Master Chang immediately sent his servants to find Gao Yun and Li Chi, saying that whoever was willing to devote his heart and soul to Chang E would be chosen as Chang E's husband.
Liu Tong: "This development feels somewhat familiar."
Tianpeng: "Have you seen anything similar before?"
Liu Qiu: "Right, it's Liancheng!"
Kong Xuan: "There really is!"
Liu Dong: "Uh, yes..."
Although it was a story written by Pu Songling.
Liu Tong told the two the story of "Liancheng".
Tianpeng: "Heart's blood and heart's flesh... are indeed very similar."
Kong Xuan: "Liancheng is genuinely ill, while Chang'e is faking it; that's the difference. And the heart's blood is likely a test for the two men."
Liu Tong: "Perhaps it was an idea that Chang'e conspired with one of them to make the other back down."
It should be noted that the monk who came to the door had absolutely no spiritual cultivation.
Kong Xuan and Tian Peng exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Li Chi!" Chang'e should know Li Chi, and they may have already fallen in love with each other.
The three men kept an eye on Chang'e's movements and saw that Chang'e's personal maid went to find Li Chi under the pretense of going out to buy things. She told Li Chi that the plan was half successful and asked him to go to the Chang family to express his true feelings.
"Don't worry, that monk was specially found by Miss, he won't hurt you. Miss has already prepared chicken blood, she'll just say it's your heart's blood."
Li Chi replied, "Yes, I know. I'll come over tomorrow."
After the maid left, a beautiful woman came out from the inner room.
The woman's appearance was no less than that of Chang'e after her reincarnation; she was a rare beauty.
At this moment, the beautiful woman stared at Li Chi with tears welling up in her eyes and asked, "You...you really want to go?"
Li Chi embraced the beautiful woman tenderly and said, "I don't want to go, but I've already promised Chang'e. A man can't go back on his word. Third Sister, I won't let you down. After I marry Chang'e, I'll take you as my second wife. In my heart, you are the most important..."
Liu Tong: "Tsk, men!"
Kong Xuan said coldly, "First he provoked a fairy who had descended to earth to undergo tribulation, and then he provoked a fox demon. This man is really not afraid of death."
Liu Tong laughed and said, "There's a saying among mortals: 'To die beneath a peony is to die a romantic death.' This Li Chi doesn't know what he's provoked, nor does he know he's already dying right before his eyes."
Tianpeng, the most soft-hearted of the three, asked, "Should we save them?"
Liu Dong: "It's not worth it."
Kong Xuan: "Mind your own business."
Tianpeng: "Uh, okay."
After all, he was just a minor fox demon, not even as good as the little demons who kept watch on the journey to the West. He was not worth the effort of such a powerful figure as him.
There are demon hunters in the mortal realm.
The fox demon is so rampant that it will inevitably be discovered by demon hunters.
The next day, when Li Chi came to offer his heart's blood, Gao Yun also came to offer his heart's blood.
The Chang couple were dumbfounded.
Chang'e was dumbfounded. She originally wanted to scare Gao Yun away, but Gao Yun was not scared away and even offered to give her his heart's blood.
Could it be that this person truly loves me?
Chang'e couldn't help but feel moved.
Chang'e was deeply moved, especially when she saw Gao Yun cut open his own chest with a knife and let the blood flow out.
Everyone else was both scared and moved.
Tianpeng: "Gao Yun possesses the power of the Taiyin Star Lord."
He was banished to the mortal realm on the pretext of harassing Chang'e, and therefore harbored great resentment towards her.
I stayed behind this time just to watch the spectacle of Chang'e.
Therefore, Tianpeng had a better understanding of the power of the Taiyin star that Chang'e possessed than the other two.
Tianpeng knew that Taiyin Xingjun was not Chang'e, but Heng'e, the moon goddess Changxi, the true master of the moon.
Mortals, unaware of the situation in the moon palace, mistakenly believe that Heng'e is Chang'e.
But in reality, they are two different people.
The power within Gao Yun did not come from Chang'e, but rather from Heng'e.
Gao Yun had not actually broken open his own chest; it was all just an illusion created by the power of Yin.
It seems that Gao Yun is a pawn of Chang'e, and that the Moon Star does not welcome Chang'e, an outsider.
The three of them, including Liu Dong, felt that the drama was getting more and more interesting.
Li Chi also donated his "heart's blood," but he did not have it taken in front of the public. Instead, a monk led him into a room to have his blood taken.
Master Chang and Madam Chang exchanged bewildered glances: Which one to choose? (End of Chapter)
