The heavens do not disappoint those who are determined.

After the storm, there is always a rainbow.

Ye Xuan sighed quietly. Ye Xiaoying had been afflicted by the Cold Poison since childhood; surviving to this day was no small feat. Without that inner strength supporting her, she might have collapsed long ago.

Fortunately, now she can finally be free, and her talents will flourish like never before.

This is the blessing Ye Xiaoying deserves...

With the help of the Fire Burning Mountain, the properties of the Earth Fire Lotus were relentless, almost effortlessly trampling the Cold Poison within Ye Xiaoying’s body, causing the Cold Poison that had plagued her for years to flee frantically, ultimately flowing out madly through the silver needles on her major acupoints.

Sweat solidified on Ye Xiaoying’s body, and the temperature in the room dropped sharply.

Like an ice cellar!

Under Ye Xuan’s vigilant gaze, finally, the silver needles inserted into Ye Xiaoying’s major acupoints began to turn black at a visible speed, and soon became as black as ink.

From the pores of these acupoints, thick black substances crazily emerged, filling the room with an overwhelmingly foul stench.

These are the source of the Cold Poison!

"Such a quantity, and she managed to survive until now. This girl is really tenacious." Ye Xuan couldn’t help but twitch his lips a few times.

With such an amount of Cold Poison, not to mention Ye Xiaoying when she was just a child, even many of the top Martial Arts experts would find it hard to endure.

The will for revenge is truly terrifying...

As the source of the Cold Poison continued to emerge, the painful expression on Ye Xiaoying’s face quickly began to ease.

In just a few minutes, Ye Xiaoying released the bed sheet she was tightly clutching, and the thick, black Cold Poison was finally expelled completely.

Ye Xuan carefully handled the Cold Poison, then with a wave of his large hand, several dozen already blackened silver needles left Ye Xiaoying’s body.

"Whew—"

Ye Xiaoying exhaled heavily, feeling almost the most relaxed she had in over a decade.

It was as if a huge mountain that had been weighing on her had finally been lifted, making her feel joyful and refreshed!

Ye Xuan casually tossed the silver needles into the trash bin, smiling as he said, "The treatment went smoothly; the Cold Poison in your body has been mostly eradicated, though there may be some residues, they won’t have much impact. I’ll give you a prescription later, and after a week of conditioning, you’ll be completely safe."

"Okay."

Ye Xiaoying nodded, sat up, and looked at the Cold Poison emitting a strong stench from the trash bin, her beautiful eyes flickering with an extremely complex emotion.

Finally rid of this damn Cold Poison.

Everything feels like an unreal dream.

Ye Xuan, thank you...

"Once the Zhao Family falls, Ye Xuan, I’ll definitely pursue you like crazy!" Ye Xiaoying silently said in her heart.

It’s a secret in her heart, already suppressed for a very long time.

She once thought she might never let Ye Xuan know her feelings because she could die from a sudden Cold Poison attack anytime, and even if Ye Xuan cured her in the end, it would take many years.

By then, she’d be old, her youth gone, how could she be worthy of him?

Unexpectedly, even fate is compassionate!

Now, she finally sees the dawn, sees hope of fulfilling her mission and sees herself chasing love and freedom in the future!

"How wonderful..."

Ye Xiaoying murmured contentedly in her heart and then came to her senses, intending to get dressed as she got out of bed.

But as her feet touched the ground.

Ye Xiaoying suddenly frowned deeply, showing a painful expression.

Ye Xuan was startled: "What’s wrong?"

"I..." Ye Xiaoying looked at Ye Xuan with a difficult look on her face: "It seems the Earth Fire Lotus’s effects are still in my body!"

"What?"

Ye Xuan’s brows shot up in surprise.

Medicine has three parts poison.

Although the Earth Fire Lotus is a miracle medicine rare to encounter in a century, if the body lacks something like the extremely cold Cold Poison, then just the Earth Fire Lotus’s potency is dangerous to the human body as well!

"I didn’t expect the Earth Fire Lotus’s potency to be so strong; the Cold Poison was destroyed, and it’s still lingering in your body!" Ye Xuan frowned tightly and said: "Quick, lie back down; I’ll think of a way to expel the Earth Fire Lotus’s potency."

Ye Xiaoying hurriedly lay back down.

Ye Xuan dared not be careless; he took out a new bag of silver needles, disinfected them, and then applied the needles to Ye Xiaoying’s major acupoints.

This was Ye Xuan’s good habit; he generally carried two sets of silver needles with him.

And this time, what he applied to Ye Xiaoying was merely a regular detoxification method.

Though with the increase in strength, using the Fire Burning Mountain needle method wouldn’t necessarily exhaust him or make him faint, the consumption was still staggering; at this moment, Ye Xuan had no strength left to use the Taiyin Divine Needle.

Thus, trouble arose...

The effect of ordinary needle methods was far from the Taiyin Divine Needle!

As each silver needle was inserted, Ye Xiaoying’s body did start emitting some heat, but the amount of heat couldn’t keep up with the Earth Fire Lotus’s rampage!

"So hot, so hot!" Ye Xiaoying cried out through clenched teeth: "Ye Xuan, I feel like I’m going to be scorched, it’s so hot!"

"Calm down, I’ll think of something."

Ye Xuan forced himself to remain calm, internally screaming his frustration.

Since inheriting Lang Canghai’s teachings, Ye Xuan had never encountered a medical accident; could this first one happen on Ye Xiaoying?

Not long ago, he even thought privately that what the ancient books said about the Earth Fire Lotus’s severe cost was a lie; they said it was just a matter of gritting one’s teeth, what was so painful?

It turns out Ye Xuan realized the ancient books weren’t lying!

What should he do?

Ordinary needle methods almost had no effect; it seemed that even if Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and performed the Taiyin Divine Needle, there wouldn’t be a way to counter the Earth Fire Lotus’s potency. And if he fainted from exhaustion, and anything went wrong, Ye Xiaoying would be doomed!

"How in the hell do you resolve this!" Ye Xuan was exasperated, genuinely worried.

"Ah! Hot, hot!" Ye Xiaoying suddenly screamed again, the heart-wrenching cry was almost as tragic as a woman giving birth.

Ye Xuan’s lips twitched, hurriedly withdrew the many silver needles from Ye Xiaoying’s body to prevent any mistakes in a chaotic situation.

And without these silver needles to relieve, the Earth Fire Lotus’s potency stayed rampant within, causing Ye Xiaoying’s level of pain to soar further; her exquisite nose even began to bleed!

If this continues, she’ll start bleeding from the seven apertures until she burns to death!

"You can’t die!"

Ye Xuan was extremely worried, his eyes darting about, finally gritting his teeth: "Since there’s no solution, why not take a chance!"

Tear!

Ye Xuan tore violently and then leapt onto the bed.

A very ancient method of expulsion exists, which is...

For friendship, for righteousness!

Ye Xuan resolutely chose... to make a sacrifice!
