Crossing the Gods as Slaves

Chapter 164 Canyon (2)

"You can say that, but if you go to a place without spiritual power, this spiritual power will disappear as well."

Ge Xiu lowered his eyes and kicked a small stone beside him with his toes: "Then, where are the herbs for detoxification? Is there such an antidote because of the spiritual power here?"

Speaking of detoxifying herbs, Ning Hua was silent for a moment.

Ge Xiu continued: "You will help me find it, right?"

"I... am not sure if I can find them..."

At this point, Ning Hua's heart was filled with guilt. She had no idea what kind of poison Ge Xiu had been poisoned by, nor did she know what herbs to use to detoxify him, let alone whether she should continue lying to Ge Xiu.

Ge Xiu turned around and faced Ning Hua: "It doesn't matter if we can't find them right away. As long as they exist, we will find them one day, don't you think?"

Ning Hua nodded in a direction that Ge Xiu couldn't see.

"Ning Hua, you are not lying to me, are you? You came here to find herbs because you knew they were here, not because only here can you find the spiritual power you need, right?"

All around he could hear the rustling of breeze through the branches and the gurgling of a stream rushing away into the distance. Ge Xiu looked at the clouds in the distant sky, but he could not hear Ning Hua's answer.

Ning Hua was also very conflicted, but she knew that she didn't want to lie to him anymore. The longer she lied, the greater the disappointment would be.

After a long silence, she finally spoke: "At the beginning... it was indeed because of spiritual power... After I have spiritual power, I can restore my magic power, and then maybe I can help you find an antidote."

Ge Xiu couldn't describe what he felt at the moment. He just felt a sense of sadness, and also anger as if he had been betrayed by someone close to him.

"No wonder you asked me last time what to do if we couldn't find the antidote. You knew there was no antidote at all... It turns out you were lying to me from the beginning to the end."

Ge Xiu finally came to a conclusion.

It was a long time before he heard Ning Hua say "I'm sorry".

This "I'm sorry" was equivalent to admitting that it was all just a scam. Ge Xiu felt a little disheartened. After spending these days together, he almost regarded her as a friend.

Ning Hua looked at Ge Xiu's back as he walked away, feeling extremely guilty. She took a few steps forward and shouted, "Ge Xiu, I will definitely help you find the antidote! It's just that my magic power hasn't recovered yet!"

Ge Xiu did not respond, but walked towards the spaceship with a stiff back.

Ning Hua stood there for a while, then took a step forward and ran after him.

After Ge Xiu got on the spaceship, he locked the door.

Ning Hua was standing outside the door, still thinking about how to explain himself in order to gain his forgiveness, when he heard a roar from the spaceship's engine, and then the spaceship took off from the ground.

Ning Hua stood there in a daze.

When she realized what he was about to do, she immediately flew towards the spaceship.

However, Ge Xiu directly started a superluminal jump, and the spaceship turned into a bright spot and disappeared into the cloud-filled sky in the blink of an eye.

Ning Hua could feel how fast her heart was beating in her chest. She still remembered that before departure, Ge Xiu sat in the operating room for several hours and was unable to step on the starter. After he got off the spaceship, he squatted on the ground and vomited. Ning Hua frowned and looked in the direction where the spaceship disappeared, feeling guilty and worried.

Tormented by guilt, the God didn't sleep well for several days, and couldn't concentrate in meditation. His beautiful face was always shrouded in a layer of gloom.
