"Still staring!"

Lost in her thoughts for a while, Ye Xiaoying noticed that Ye Xuan was still staring at her, and immediately picked up a cushion and threw it at him.

This guy is truly shameless, he can make someone feel uncomfortable just by looking. If Ye Xiaoying hadn’t showered before Ye Xuan arrived, she’d suspect her appearance was flawed!

Ye Xuan took the soft cushion hit, finally snapping back to reality.

"Ahem, sorry, it’s really... hard to control."

He gave an awkward cough, quickly reciting the Ice Heart Technique to himself, then opened the metal box in his arms, saying solemnly, "Eat the Earth Fire Lotus, then lie on the bed."

Ye Xiaoying glanced at the lotus, resembling a ball of fire, and was stunned, "Eat it raw?"

"Do you need me to add some seasoning and make it into bone broth?" Ye Xuan retorted.

"Can’t you speak properly?" Ye Xiaoying complained, rolling her eyes at Ye Xuan with a pout, exuding charm.

Ye Xuan shivered, Ye Xiaoying, are you trying to drive me insane!

Keep your heart ice clear, fear not the collapse of the sky.

Keep your heart ice clear, fear not the collapse of the sky!

Ye Xuan felt his Ice Heart Technique was almost reaching perfection...

Ye Xiaoying, without further ado, pursed her lips, reached for the Earth Fire Lotus, and frowned immediately, "Why is this thing so hot?"

Ye Xuan gave a sidelong glance, carelessly saying, "The hotter the Earth Fire Lotus, the better its quality. Can you stop complaining?"

Ye Xiaoying pouted and took a bite of the Earth Fire Lotus.

In just a few gulps, she devoured the fist-sized lotus, not even tasting its flavor, knowing only that it was... fierce, very hot!

After the Earth Fire Lotus entered her stomach, Ye Xiaoying immediately felt an extremely hot current raging wildly in her abdomen, then spreading to her limbs and bones.

"Lie on the bed quickly!" Ye Xuan’s shout rang out.

Ye Xiaoying gritted her teeth and quickly lay down on the bed.

Moments later.

Ye Xiaoying’s entire body was flushed red, as if a raging fire was surging within!

Ye Xuan swiftly took out silver needles, sterilizing them while asking in a deep voice, "How do you feel?"

"So hot, so hot, so hot!"

Ye Xiaoying clutched the sheets tightly, her whole body tense, gritting her teeth, "It feels like there’s a fire burning inside me, I wish it would just burn me to ashes!"

As she spoke, Ye Xiaoying was drenched in sweat, as if she’d just emerged from water, the sweat pouring like a tide.

From swallowing the Earth Fire Lotus to now, it’s only been half a minute!

Ye Xuan’s large hands didn’t pause, the hair-thin silver needles twirled deftly in his agile fingers, seeming alive and mesmerizing.

Before long.

"Ah!"

Ye Xiaoying let out a piercing scream, "So cold, so cold!"

Ye Xuan’s sword-like eyebrows raised slightly, looking up to see that Ye Xiaoying was now curled up in a ball, her previously flushed body now as pale as snow, with cold air exuding that could almost freeze the moisture in the air!

Clearly, this was Ye Xiaoying’s Cold Poison, intensely resisting the Extreme Yang Power of the Earth Fire Lotus.

In simple terms, inside Ye Xiaoying’s body, two forces, one of extreme cold and one of extreme heat, were alternating, like fire and ice clashing, inevitably leading to a life-and-death struggle.

Sure enough.

The next second, Ye Xiaoying was once again flushed all over.

"Ah!" Ye Xiaoying screamed, "So hot, so hot!"

Thus the cycle continued.

In less than a minute, Ye Xiaoying experienced the extreme pain of the cold and hot alternating incessantly, rolling around on the bed in agony, her cries a torment to watch.

Such torture was almost unimaginable!

Ye Xuan deftly sterilized all the silver needles, then frowned and shouted loudly, "Hang in there, no matter how much pain, you must lie still without moving, otherwise I can’t administer the needles. If the Earth Fire Lotus’s medicinal power and the Cold Poison continually clash, these forces will torment you to death!"

Without a doubt, this attempt to expel the Cold Poison from Ye Xiaoying with the Earth Fire Lotus was Ye Xuan’s greatest challenge in the realm of healing.

A single misstep, and Ye Xiaoying could meet a tragic end here!

Granted, the Earth Fire Lotus is a miracle medicine in the Mortal World, scarce even in a hundred years, but the Cold Poison is no simple toxin either, especially since it has dwelt in Ye Xiaoying’s body for years, even invading her lungs, and if not for Ye Xuan, Ye Xiaoying would have long since perished.

In such a situation, relying solely on the Earth Fire Lotus is impossible to expel the Cold Poison.

It’s necessary to inject External Force when the medicinal power reaches its peak, aiding the Earth Fire Lotus, to triumph over the Cold Poison!

Normally, with uncooperative patients, Ye Xuan would simply resort to a hand chop.

But that wouldn’t work today, because when pain reaches an unbelievable level, even being knocked out wouldn’t last, as they’d awaken in pain very quickly.

The only way is for Ye Xiaoying herself to grit her teeth and endure!

Ye Xuan believed Ye Xiaoying could manage, so he hadn’t spoken much about it prior.

Evidently, Ye Xiaoying indeed could manage.

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s shout, Ye Xiaoying immediately calmed down, clutching the sheets tightly, her teeth clenched, veins bulging on her forehead, allowing the extremely cold and hot forces in her body to alternate without making any noise.

"Very good, hang in there, the Cold Poison in your body will be expelled soon!"

Ye Xuan nodded appreciatively, and without hesitation, his eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers flipping and dancing, the silver needles plunging into Ye Xiaoying’s major acupuncture points one after another like a torrential storm.

This set of silver needles was not simple.

Before piercing Ye Xiaoying’s major points, each silver needle shimmered with a fiery red hue, like a fiery needle.

Taiyin Divine Needle’s first style, Volcano Burning!

This is an Extreme Yang technique, perfectly countering such poisons like Cold Poison, and Ye Xuan had been using this technique to sustain Ye Xiaoying’s life for some time.

Now with the Earth Fire Lotus, it was bound to have miraculous effects!

The result was exactly as expected, as the dozens of silver needles took effect, Ye Xiaoying’s body no longer exhibited any signs of Extreme Cold Illness, maintaining a flushed hue, and this hue grew even richer and more noticeable.

Her entire person seemed to transform into a fiery figure!

Even her beautiful eyes turned blood red.

Sitting beside her, Ye Xuan could clearly feel Ye Xiaoying’s body beginning to emit waves of cold air, growing more intense and fierce, and soon, those waves of cold air were almost visible to the naked eye!

Ye Xuan gazed deeply, watching the whisps of cold air rise from Ye Xiaoying’s major points along the silver needles, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

This damned Cold Poison was finally about to be eradicated.

Simultaneously, he felt a silent sympathy.

This Cold Poison had truly tormented Ye Xiaoying for far too long...
