They had a total of thirty-six Windrider Foals, almost half of which were slain by Li Yaling. Splitting them between the two carriages and they would still be able to pull them, but their speed would be a little slower.

The current Zong Shou sat solemnly within the carriage. In front of him, Xuanyuan Yiren was lying sideways, her eyes closed shut and her face alternating between a red shade and a paper-like whiteness.

Zong Shou grabbed Xuanyuan Yiren’s right wrist and carefully checked her pulse. After a long while he gave out a sigh and put down her hand.

He only noticed that something was wrong with her when they were prepared to set off and he didn’t see her. Li Yunniang’s expression was also really weird and she looked panicky and out of sorts. Only then did he forcefully interfere and moved Xuanyuan Yiren to his carriage to take care of her.

When he checked her pulse, he felt that her situation was far worse than he had expected.

“A huge vital energy deficit, weak energy. The meridians also have two sites which are torn up; in such a situation, she is just a step away from death. Why did this dumb girl go all out? Why did she worry?”

The person who sent out the Pill Fountain Sect fire signal was just trying to lead her away from his side, so he most probably wouldn’t do anything detrimental to the girl. Why did Xuanyuan Yiren hurt her body to such an extent? This was something Zong Shou didn’t understand.

Looking at how badly her vital energy was damaged, she was probably going all out during these few hours.

“Something isn’t right, her body is alternating between cold and hot. It seems like the situation with the Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Method has changed…”

Zong Shou hesitated slightly, but still removed Xuanyuan Yiren’s clothes.

Xuanyuan Yiren didn’t wear any body-hugging clothes and apart from a thin silk which was wrapping around her chest, she didn’t wear anything else. Zong Shou pointed with his finger and an energy immediately cut that silk in the middle.

Her snow-white skin was impressed into Zong Shou’s memory. Xuanyuan Yiren’s chest wasn’t big, but they weren’t small, they fit just nicely into the hand. They was also really firm and their shapes were really good. At the moment it was like two quivering pigeons. The two small cherries at the tip were a soft red in color.

Zong Shou was dazzled as he looked at them, and a sudden urge rose to hold the pair in his hands and play around with them.

He immediately closed his eyes and took in a deep breath, constantly muttering to himself that he was treating her and a medical practitioner should behave like a parent, before barely being able to calm himself down.

However a short while later, Zong Shou opened his eyes once more. Xuanyuan Yiren was simply too beautiful. What should be big was big, what should be small was small. Not only was her chest area nice, her waist could be said to be thin and the meat and bones were perfectly distributed. However Zong Shou’s eyes gathered at the center of her chest right away, and the flame mark between that pair of pigeons. It was yellow on the inside and red on the outside, like a dancing flame.

Who knew if this there in the past, or if it just appeared just recently.

Zong Shou touched it slightly and felt a flame like burn on his fingertips. The skin on his fingers pretty much burned up.

Xuanyuan Yiren was already lacking in vital energy, and with with the fiery power of the Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Method striking her, naturally her situation became far worse.

This flame energy had entered her lungs, which made it hard to release it. The lungs were a metallic element and fire countered metal, which made this the worst possible situation.

Fortunately she had met him this time. If it was another person, even if they were good in the medical arts they would have no way to solve this.

First he took Xuanyuan Yiren’s Heaven and Earth bag in his hand and searched inside it. In just a short moment, he took out a bottle with Small Energy Replenishment Pill in it.

Unable to confirm the amount needed, Zong Shou first scratched off a small portion of it with his fingernails and placed it in his mouth to taste.

He directly fed three of them to Xuanyuan Yiren. Unfortunately this girl still had some blurry consciousness and knew how to swallow it herself, leaving Zong Shou silently filled with regret, sighing slightly. As for what he felt was unfortunate, only he knew in his heart.

He took out the set of golden needles and stabbed them into Xuanyuan Yiren’s body.

In his last life, although he wasn’t good at pill refining, this golden needle acupoint piercing technique was something he was well versed at. It was related to his martial cultivation; when his strength reached a certain level, he knew all the acupoints and energy flow within his body like the back of his hand.

A strong martial cultivator was often able to become a good doctor.

With just ten needles, the heat on Xuanyuan Yiren’s body slowly retreated. The flame mark on her chest also became much dimmer.

Zong Shou made a cut on his wrist and immediately some blood flowed out, which he dripped into her mouth.

Three Energy Replenishment Pills weren’t enough, and he also needed to care about the herb making her condition worse.

To replenish vital energy and strengthen one’s bodily energy, nothing was as good as the Xiantian essence energy he had gained from the Lightning Phoenix egg.

It had settled within his body and he was unable to digest it in a short time; now it could aid Xuanyuan Yiren in replenishing her body. After about a small half bowl of blood was fed to her, her face started to return to its normal red shade. That ball of flame had also completely disappeared and become so weak that there was no signs of it.

However Zong Shou’s brows were still tightly furrowed. This could solve the problem, but not the root. The situation of the flames entering her lungs and meridians had reached a really dangerous situation.

Stowing all the golden needles, Zong Shou entered a period of deep thought once more.

“It seems like I still have to remind this girl to refine that Chill Spirit Mysterious Sense Pill. Although it couldn’t solve the root, it can more or less suppress the fire in her meridians. However, there needs to be another good plan to solve it…”

A thought suddenly entered his mind as his fingers subconsciously started to follow along the meridians in her body.

“Fire entering the lungs is because the heart fire is too strong. Maybe I can target the spleen, unfortunately I only know the rough concept of the Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Method and to totally solve it I will need a period of time!”

Suddenly his hand touched a soft ball, he instinctively tapped onto it, only feeling that it felt really comfortable. He couldn’t help but press on it, following which he was startled, feeling that something wasn’t right. He also felt that the atmosphere within this carriage had suddenly became dark and cold.

Looking down, he saw the awakened Xuanyuan Yiren, who had opened her eyes wide and was looking at him in rage and sadness. There seemed to be tears in her eyes and in the next moment they were like flames burning.

Immediately many huge sweat beads appeared on Zong Shou’s forehead. He wanted to explain but just as he looked at his hand which was pressing on her chest, he immediately pulled back like he was burned by fire. He was instantly speechless and couldn’t say anything.

Xuanyuan Yiren also straightened her body and in just a few breaths put on her clothes. Her teeth bit onto her lips as she stared right at Zong Shou.

In that instance, two lines of tears flowed down, “Prince, please behave yourself! After all we haven’t completed our marriage, so how can you do that? What kind of person do you think I am? I originally thought that you only couldn’t cultivate, but your personality was not bad. I didn’t expect you to be such a perverted person! To take advantage of people, how despicable!”

Zong Shou seemed like he was struck by lightning, his heart shaking and he stood rooted to the ground. His brain was only filled with the words “perverted’, which was ringing out within his head.

Only when Xuanyuan Yiren left in tears did he came to his senses. When he tried to explain, Xuanyuan Yiren had already gotten out of the carriage.

He felt like crying, but no tears came out. At the start he did have some evil thoughts, but at the back he really didn’t and was focusing on making up for the weaknesses of the Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Method. Removing her clothes was for the acupuncture needles and he really didn’t have any bad thoughts.

He felt really depressed and he used his head to hit on the wall. This was a hole that he would be unable to dig himself out of.

“Young Master, why was Miss Yiren crying?”

Chuxue had stepped into the carriage and looked towards Zong Shou curiously. She was usually dumb, but at this moment she was really smart. Suddenly thinking about something as she looked fixed with her eyes wide, and then she was filled with disdain, scoffing, “Young Master! I don’t want to scold you, but you are indeed rushing it. Taking advantage of her, what kind of ability is that? Actually once you complete the marriage, isn’t she just yours?”

Zong Shou was furious, staring furiously at Chuxue’s hips. Her body instantly tensed up and her expression was filled with wariness and she said furiously, “Young Master, this doesn’t count! You said that the Rising Moon Lion would help me, but in the end it didn’t even appear. It isn’t my fault that I used such a long time! If you smack my butt you are being unfair!”

Zong Shou laughed, giving out a vicious laugh as he sat on the soft mattress.

Actually that Rising Moon Lion had already helped out, but it was just that Chuxue didn’t know. If it wasn’t for the lion revealing its killing intent and sending that spirit master into chaos, at the end it also used its mental energy to aid her, Chuxue would have already died. How would she have been able to kill that spirit master?

As expected that lion was really smart and gave one many surprises. It was like it was born to live in the shadows. He had originally planned to recall it after that battle. However he decided against it. With its ability in hiding, its effects would be far greater.

Just as he wanted to scare the little brat, he smelled a light fragrance, like orchids in a valley.

Zong Shou was startled, and after a short moment he realised that this was the smell of Xuanyuan Yiren’s perfume. He was dumbfounded, numerous thoughts surging into his mind.

————–

Xuanyuan Yiren’s heart was similarly in a mess. After hurriedly running back to her carriage, she was able to calm herself down.

She felt like her heart was like a deer knocking around and her entire body was burning hot. It felt like Zong Shou’s hand was still on her chest, making her tremble, ashamed, and sad.

“That pervert!” Xuanyuan Yiren’s face felt like fire burning, and she silently spit out in contempt. However, she wasn’t that annoyed, only just feeling a little wronged.

“Am I that type of fickle lewd woman? No, it just felt weird and felt extremely close to him. Is it because he is my fiance? Yes, that must be the reason!”

After consoling herself, Xuanyuan Yiren felt that something wasn’t right with her situation. Her mouth tasted fishy and sweet, like she had swallowed blood.

There were a dozen needle holes in her body. Everyplace that was stabbed were acupoints of the minor and major Chakra Meridians, and each had a special effect. Looking at the acupuncture technique, it was really precise.

The blood that was badly lacking in her body had also mostly recovered!

“Was Zong Shou the one who helped acupuncture me?” Xuanyuan Yiren shook as a confused expression entered her eyes.
