Chapter 89 85, the three gates open simultaneously!
That night, the sound of rain and the continuous, pitiful screams of a girl intermingled incessantly.
The small courtyard was a muddy mess, washed out by the rain and in complete disarray.
Within the palace, Jing Lixue was all smiles as she watched the entire process through the Mother-Child Spiritual Mirror placed in her room.
It wasn't until she saw Xu Yuan erupt in rage that she lazily stretched her body and murmured softly, "Yan'er, look how good I am to you. If I'm not mistaken, based on the term 'Yang Charm Demon Body,' his physique should naturally be suited for the Path of the Yang God. The strength of his Primordial Yang should be a unique panacea in all the world, perfectly able to replenish the coldness in your body so that you, too, can stand up again."
"It's just that, it seems like the dosage might have been a bit too much."
Gazing at the girl in the mirror who was at death's door, Jing Lixue's face showed no sign of guilt.
"But you can't blame me for that. After all, I told you to practice, and you didn't practice well."
Having said that, she reached out her slender hand and saved the scenes from last night's events.
"The first round is mine," she declared.
Jing Lixue looked up at the horizon's end, imagining the infuriated expressions of Tian Liuli and Lin Qingque when they learned of this, and couldn't help but smile slightly at the corners of her lips.
If she could, she really wished she could show them right now.
Then, she stretched again with an alluring grace, her eyes and brows hinting at the seductive springtime within.
"What a pity, at the moment, I cannot yet act freely, otherwise..."
She reminisced about last night's events and licked her slightly dry lips, her eyelids drooping slightly.
...
Chu Bingyan couldn't tell if she spent last night in the blissful Immortal Realm or the painful depths of hell.
All she knew was that she was now very tired, yet also felt incredibly relieved.
The cold poison that had troubled her for so long was astonishingly cured overnight.
But the swelling and pain throughout her body were also very apparent.
The fear on her face became all the more evident.
Last night, she had experienced the extremes of pleasure and pain, and even now, she couldn't utter much.
Xu Yuan casually grabbed the snow-white long hair and wiped his hand, the crimson in his eyes finally fading slowly.
He looked at Chu Bingyan lying on the ground and sighed deeply.
At a loss.
Her cultivation level was merely Foundation Establishment, and despite losing consciousness last night, the Yang Charm Demon Body's intrinsic Dual Cultivation Method still operated automatically.
But... after a night of practice, he felt that his cultivation level had only reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and the breakthrough to Core Formation was still far off.
However, that wasn't the point.
He could see that Chu Bingyan was very afraid of him, but even so, she still reached out her hand and rejected him.
It seemed that beneath that black cloth, a lot of secrets were hidden.
"I, I... am afraid I'll scare you," she said, biting her lower lip, her pitiful little face was full of pleading and hope.
As she said this, her heart was also full of confusion.
She couldn't make clear what she now thought of Xu Yuan.
Why did she worry about such things when clearly he was the enemy? Was it as if she was afraid of ruining the image she had in his mind?
"Is that so?"
Xu Yuan's mind took a subtle turn, and he decided to skirt around the issue.
"It seems that Master Chu didn't know about the effect of that bottle of medicine from last night, did she?"
Xu Yuan looked at the bruises on her fair skin, gently rubbing them with spiritual power wrapped around his fingers.
"Hmm."
As soon as the medicine was mentioned, Chu Bingyan involuntarily shuddered.
Now, Chu Bingyan had come to understand the vague words she had said earlier.
She didn't understand why... why had she treated herself this way? What had she done wrong?
"Who gave you that bottle of medicine?" Xu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.
Last night, he didn't have time to think because of the effects of the medicine, but looking back now, it was clear that both he and Chu Bingyan had been set up.
If he wasn't mistaken, the faint scent of lotus he had smelled upon entering was probably from the enchantment medicine.
The thought sent a chill through his heart.
That person not only anticipated his visit to Chu Bingyan but seemed to also know of the special nature of his constitution, using his primordial yang to dispel Chu Bingyan's cold poison.
Fortunately, at the last moment, he acquired "Deceiving the Heavens to Cross the Sea," and this device didn't require blood to acknowledge its owner but just had to be worn to be effective.
Otherwise, the situation he had painstakingly maintained might have completely fallen apart.
After learning about his actions, Tian Liuli and Lin Qingque would certainly have been enraged.
What purpose did that person have in doing all these things?
"It was..."
Chu Bingyan didn't understand why Jing Lixue would do such a thing to her, but since that was the case, she felt there was no need to keep the secret for her, right?
Most importantly, she felt a warmth from him that she had never experienced before.
However, just as she opened her mouth to say the name, the restriction that had been set up in her mind was triggered.
A moment later, her little face was blank with confusion, her lips parting and closing, yet she didn't know what to say.
