Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 233: Chapter 233: I really like Miss Qi who enjoys moon-gazing.

This pitiful tone couldn’t help but soften Qi Yue’s heart.

After all, it was because of her that Qing Nanzun had laid hands on Qu Wei.

If Qu Wei hadn’t been her elder brother and they hadn’t been so close, he wouldn’t have faced this calamity.

Look at him now, in tattered clothes, his hair a knotted mess; he was far from the suave and dashing figure he used to be.

It seemed Qing Nanzun hadn’t gone easy on him this past month.

“Hungry?” she couldn’t help but ask softly, “Big brother, take a seat, I’ll go out and get you something to eat.”

Qi Yue’s concern came from the heart, but to her surprise, Qu Wei shrank back, looking at her with wide eyes of astonishment.

“Yueyue, it’s only been a month and you’ve become gentle? Are you planning to abandon me?”

“I…” Qi Yue twitched the corners of her lips, reaching out to slap her elder brother.

She was indeed gentle, but apart from Zhao Xiyan, she had never shown this side to anyone else….

“Cut the nonsense, do you want to eat or not?”

With her fierce demeanor returning, Qu Wei finally nodded his head, “That’s more like it, it’s better when you’re harsh with me, I’m used to it.”

Qi Yue was really at her wits’ end.

Was Qu Wei a masochist?

She went out briefly, ostensibly to fetch water and food, but in fact, she retrieved them from a hidden stash.

Qu Wei devoured the meal voraciously and soon fell asleep beside her, not even having the energy to bathe.

It turned out that along the way, Qing Nanzun had constantly been torturing him, forcing Qu Wei to speak about Qi Yue.

Qu Wei either refused to talk or spouted nonsense, which infuriated Qing Nanzun immensely.

Eventually, he simply stopped giving him food and water.

If it weren’t for using him to lure Qi Yue, Qu Wei might have been killed out of sheer annoyance.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue grew even angrier.

Fortunately, she had thrown a Small Fragrant Melon, and having seen Qing Nanzun fall with her own eyes, he should be dead beyond any doubt!

Two hours later, Qu Wei woke up, and Qi Yue had already prepared hot water for him and found him some clean clothes to change into.

After a sleep and a bath, Qu Wei was once again the suave and handsome man, becoming more talkative.

Especially when discussing the ordeal he had faced along the way, he just couldn’t stop going on and on about his sufferings.

Eventually, Qi Yue couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Anyway, I’ve avenged you, Qing Nanzun is dead.”

Upon hearing this, Qu Wei shook his head repeatedly.

“He can’t die.”

Qi Yue snorted.

“I know he’s got a peculiar constitution, but this time, he’s definitely dead. Did you hear that loud noise when I was rescuing you? That was my newly acquired weapon, anyone who touches it dies, and Qing Nanzun is no exception.”

But Qu Wei waved his hands again and again.

“Yueyue, you don’t understand, there’s more to Qing Nanzun than just his strange constitution. Once on the way, we encountered a nefarious gang, about forty or fifty people who pushed Qing Nanzun off a cliff, but he came right back up. Another time, I saw him get stabbed over a dozen times by two people and yet, he didn’t die at all! Not only did he not die, there wasn’t even anything wrong with him! I think your new weapon might not work this time either!”

Despite his vivid and vehement words, Qi Yue still didn’t believe Qing Nanzun could really be alive.

After all, it was a Small Fragrant Melon, and even if this world contained some mysterious powers, they couldn’t possibly withstand an explosion!

The next afternoon, Qi Yue went out to gather information and indeed heard that Qing Nanzun had died from severe injuries.

This news overjoyed Qi Yue.

The trip to Donggao hadn’t been in vain.

Not only had she gained countless treasures, but she had also saved many people, fiercely debunked the Donggao royal family, and killed the mastermind behind the whole affair, achieving a great fulfillment.

However, her elation didn’t last long before she saw her portrait plastered all over the streets.

She was actually on the wanted list in Donggao!?

The person in the portrait was dressed in black, with a black scarf covering her face, leaving only her eyes visible.

But those eyes were just murky black smudges, making it impossible to distinguish who it was.

Qi Yue couldn’t help but grit her teeth.

She didn’t know who lacked public morals enough to depict her so hideously.

The notice itself was rather unsavory too.

It described her as a homicidal maniac who had killed more than a dozen people with various unidentified weapons, extremely vicious, now subjected to a nationwide manhunt, with substantial rewards for any clues provided.

Qi Yue recalled the situation that day and felt that the words on the notice were inaccurate.

After all, she hadn’t harmed any innocent bystanders at that time, only killed the people of Qing Nanzun.

Unfortunately, these thoughts she could only keep to herself and felt it wasn’t appropriate to voice out.

After reading the notice, Qi Yue swaggered to the city gates only to find them still sealed, with no intention of being opened.

She observed the height of the city wall and thought that escaping the city with a climbing rope wouldn’t be an issue.

The only concern was whether Qu Wei could also climb up like she could.

Thinking it over, she decided to go back and discuss with Qu Wei to form a plan to leave Donggao as soon as possible.

After all, she had finished what she needed to do here, and there were still matters waiting for her in Longnan.

Little did she expect that as soon as she turned around, she saw Song Qiyun standing not far away watching her.

Seeing her turn around, he walked over with an unconstrained stride.

“Miss, it’s been a while.”@@novelbin@@

Song Qiyun said earnestly, his face bearing a smile that seemed to know everything.

Qi Yue narrowed her eyes.

“It hasn’t been that long.”

Song Qiyun’s lips slightly curved, his calm eyes steadily watching her for a long while before he spoke, “What should I call you, Miss Qi, Miss Qi Yue?”

“It doesn’t matter, after all, we are just passersby.” Qi Yue smiled measuredly.

“The person in the portrait is you, right?” Song Qiyun asked.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue was inwardly alarmed, somewhat puzzled as to how Song Qiyuan had recognized her, yet her expression turned cold.

“Princely Heir Qiyun, be careful with your words. Are you unable to find the real thief and randomly accusing someone to take the blame?”

Her words were not light, but Song Qiyun still held a confident and serene demeanor.

It seemed he merely said those words casually, not expecting Qi Yue to admit anything.

Suddenly, his adam’s apple bobbed at the collar of his robe, and he suddenly laughed.

“The weather is nice today, and the waning moon tonight will surely be interesting. Why don’t I invite you to enjoy the moon with me!”

Enjoy the moon?

Qi Yue’s pupils constricted.

Was he specifically referring to that night when she went to the Imperial Palace to enjoy the moon?

Or was he referring to the night when the Imperial City was burgled?

Had she shown any slip-ups?

But she then remembered some local customs she had hastily learned in Donggao.

In Donggao, a man inviting a woman to enjoy the moon has only one meaning, and that is courtship.

This custom originally belonged to the tribes to the south, but the people of Donggao, having intermarried with the tribes for years, had long since embraced this custom.

Qi Yue thought Song Qiyun certainly did not intend to court her, but rather, he already suspected her identity.

The reason he said this was to test her, to see how she would respond, to catch her slip, and to link her with the person who had entered the Imperial Palace that night and the person who had killed Qing Nanzun’s men.

Thinking along these lines, she tugged at the corner of her mouth and smiled, deliberately saying,

“Princely Heir Qiyun, are you trying to confess your feelings to me? I’m afraid I cannot accept.”

“Why? For a fair maiden, a gentleman will pursue, and I quite like the Miss Qi Yue who enjoys the moon.”

The confession came abruptly.

Qi Yue was momentarily taken aback.

The Song Qiyun before her, with a tranquil demeanor, hardly seemed like a young man.

Yet what was moving was precisely this tranquility.
