“Master… you, you, you… are you okay… Don’t die…”
“I’m fine.” Jiang Huai’s voice trembled slightly. He took out the spirit medicine he carried and fed it to himself, but the Gu poison in his body seemed to still exist, having already entered his meridians. No matter what, he couldn’t expel it. This Gu poison didn’t seem to be a physical entity, but a poison spirit that had already reached the soul.
The previous sword strike, Water Moon, had already consumed all of Jiang Huai’s soul power. He hadn’t expected that even this couldn’t kill Mo Dan. Now, the poison spirit began to invade his soul, and Jiang Huai heard the wails of countless evil spirits as if they were right beside his ears.
“True Person Qingxuan… True Person Qingxuan… Hurry and save my Master…” Yening Sword Spirit was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. The phantom of Qingxuan appeared, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. She quickly realized that Jiang Huai was poisoned by Gu, and said, “He has been infected by the Gu poison of the Refined Yin Demon Gu. One of the most terrifying aspects of the Refined Yin Demon Gu is that this Gu poison will invade his soul and disrupt his mind…”
As Qingxuan spoke, she raised her hand, and soon a milky white light fell into Jiang Huai’s brow. Jiang Huai’s brow was completely black at this moment. The moment the light fell, the blackness seemed to dissipate a lot, but not long after, the blackness reappeared.
At this moment, Jiang Huai could no longer see anything clearly. His vision was filled with blood red. Even though he repeatedly tried to use the Heart Calming Secret Technique of Qing Xuan’s Self-Possession view to dispel the Gu poison, his soul was too weak, it was like a drop in the bucket.
“No… no… My residual soul is only a wisp now. I can’t even dispel this bit of Gu poison. Fortunately… that woman with the Grand Xuan Sacred Body is still here.”
True Person Qingxuan raised her hand again and brought Wen Wanwan out of the Hidden Sword Secret Realm. When Wen Wanwan’s eyes saw Jiang Huai sitting on the ground, almost losing his consciousness, she was so scared she almost lost her soul. She hurried to Jiang Huai’s side and hugged him tightly, “Senior Brother Jiang Huai…”
“His soul has been contaminated by the Gu poison… Now he needs you to merge your soul with his using Qing Xuan’s Self-Possession view, enter his soul world, and use your Grand Xuan Sacred Body soul to dispel that Gu poison…”
“Okay, okay, what should I do…”
“I’ll teach you.” True Person Qingxuan began to impart the method to Wen Wanwan. Wen Wanwan hugged Jiang Huai tightly, listening intently, biting her lips, trying her best not to let tears fall. All the incantations were memorized by her.
When the incantations were finished, True Person Qingxuan suddenly fell silent for a moment. She hesitated for a moment and slowly said, “Your cultivation level is too low now. Although I’ve heard that the Grand Xuan Sacred Body’s soul is extremely strong, I’ve never actually seen it. Now that your souls are merging… if something goes wrong, your soul might be contaminated as well, falling into the same situation as him. Are you… ready?”
But True Person Qingxuan didn’t need to wait for Wen Wanwan’s answer. Wen Wanwan had already chanted the incantation silently, pressing her forehead against Jiang Huai’s brow without the slightest hesitation.
Jiang Huai’s soul world was now riddled with holes.
When Wen Wanwan’s soul arrived, she quickly saw the shattered phantom of Jiang Huai’s soul, and also saw the giant gray snake that was constantly biting in this world. In an instant, she formed a sword with her soul and went forward, her blade slashing at the giant snake. The giant snake immediately counterattacked towards her.
Jiang Huai’s soul phantom seemed to be trembling, unable to do anything, only able to watch the girl fighting the giant snake from afar. Wen Wanwan’s blade showed no hesitation. She used the sword techniques taught to her by Jiang Huai and Chu Xianning. The light of the blade fell on the gray giant snake again and again, and the giant snake also counterattacked, biting her shoulder.
The girl and the snake fought for a long time. Finally, Wen Wanwan swung her last sword, completely severing the giant snake’s body. The giant snake finally disappeared without a trace in Jiang Huai’s soul world.
Wen Wanwan opened her eyes.
At this moment, her forehead was covered in sweat, and her face was slightly pale. Jiang Huai, whom she was holding in her arms, had completely fainted. Wen Wanwan looked up at True Person Qingxuan and slowly said, “I have killed the Gu snake. When will Senior Brother Jiang Huai wake up?”
True Person Qingxuan’s phantom came to Jiang Huai’s side. She reached out and gently touched Jiang Huai’s brow. After a moment, she frowned and slowly said, “The Gu snake poison spirit is dead, but his soul is also shattered. Perhaps he can now perceive everything in the outside world, but due to the damage to his soul… he can no longer control his body and will have to sleep for a long time until his soul is completely repaired.”
“How long?” Yening Sword Spirit asked hurriedly.
“Perhaps… at this rate, it will take a few years?” True Person Qingxuan’s tone was slightly uncertain, but a moment later, she suddenly remembered something, her eyes looked at Wen Wanwan, and she looked at her carefully for several seconds before asking, “I ask you… are you still a virgin?”
Wen Wanwan was stunned and nodded heavily.
“I remember ancient scrolls recorded that if the Grand Xuan Sacred Body engages in dual cultivation for the first time with someone, it will greatly benefit both of their souls. If you are still a virgin… perhaps after dual cultivation with him once, his soul will be completely repaired…”
“But, but Senior Brother Jiang Huai can’t wake up now…”
“He should be able to perceive everything in the outside world now, he just can’t control his body. By rights, he can even hear us now… After all… this is the only way… There is a Dragon Blood Pill left here. If he loses consciousness and can’t dual cultivate with you… you feed him this Dragon Blood Pill, and he will naturally…”
True Person Qingxuan said, “I have to go and discuss the matter of the Refined Yin Demon Gu with my other old friends in the Secret Realm. I will return in about two hours. The inheritance secret land here is relatively safe for now and will not be disturbed.”
With that, True Person Qingxuan’s phantom disappeared.
Yening Sword Spirit flew out in the air. She looked at Wen Wanwan’s fair face and muttered softly, “You will save my Master, right?”
“Of course!” Wen Wanwan replied immediately.
“Then, I’ll go hide in the sword first… I’ll leave it to you.” Yening Sword Spirit said, then flew back into the spirit sword.
Wen Wanwan looked all around. Now there was only Xu Qing, who was lying on the ground, unconscious, in the cave. She ignored them and gently hugged Jiang Huai’s body, starting to undress him.
“Senior Brother Jiang Huai… perhaps you can hear Wanwan speak?”
“Wanwan has always wanted Senior Brother Jiang Huai to have my body, so Wanwan would have a reason to keep Senior Brother Jiang Huai tied to her. But… Wanwan knows Senior Brother Jiang Huai still has Qingyu Fairy in mind, so Wanwan obediently listens to Senior Brother Jiang Huai… But this time, Wanwan has no choice…”
“Wanwan can only save Senior Brother Jiang Huai this way… Please, Senior Brother Jiang Huai… don’t be angry…”
“It seems… I don’t need this… Dragon Blood Pill… Senior Brother Jiang Huai can indeed… hear my words and feel… that Wanwan is kissing Senior Brother Jiang Huai, right?”
“Senior Brother Jiang Huai… you don’t have to blame yourself… It’s Wanwan who is taking advantage…”
“Mmm… N-nothing… It’s… it’s not that bad… Wanwan is going to start guiding the spiritual qi…”
“Wanwan seems like she can… go… a little further down…”
Xu Qing slowly opened her eyes.
She sat up almost instantly, her eye sockets becoming extremely red in an instant. She looked all around, and the scene in the cave at this moment made her suspect if she had fallen into some kind of illusion. Why was there a woman on Jiang Huai now, and Jiang Huai… was unconscious…
“Ay…” Wen Wanwan saw Xu Qing sit up and a sense of shyness and annoyance surged through her. Her already soft legs almost lost all their strength at once, but because of this, her body sat straight down. The next moment, her eyes widened, her lips parted, and it seemed like saliva was about to flow from the corners of her mouth.
“W-what are you doing? Where is this? What happened?”
Wen Wanwan’s cheeks turned red, but she couldn’t care about shyness and annoyance now. She slowly said, “I am… saving… Senior Brother Jiang Huai… Please, please… don’t look… don’t stare at us…”
Xu Qing hastily looked away, turning her back. Her mind was in a mess. Wen Wanwan was now panting heavily. After resting for a while, she finally had the strength to speak again.
“When Senior Brother Jiang Huai wakes up… we’ll talk… It’s very safe here… Don’t go out…”
As Wen Wanwan spoke, she tried again to guide the spiritual qi through Jiang Huai’s body. She also seemed to feel that her soul and Jiang Huai’s soul were beginning to connect, and this warm feeling of merging made the pain in her body lessen considerably, but there were still tears in her eyes.
After all, it was her first time experiencing such intimacy, and then Xu Qing suddenly woke up… she had accidentally sat down so deeply that she felt like her body was about to be pierced through.
Wen Wanwan’s forehead was almost touching Jiang Huai’s forehead. Her body was trembling slightly. A cycle of spiritual qi had been completed. When she connected with Jiang Huai’s soul using Qing Xuan’s Self-Possession view secret method, in Jiang Huai’s soul world, she finally saw Jiang Huai clearly, and Jiang Huai seemed to have seen her too, walking towards her and pulling her into his embrace.
“Senior Brother Jiang Huai…”
“I heard everything.”
“Please, Senior Brother Jiang Huai… don’t be angry… From now on, from now on, Wanwan can pretend it never happened.”
“Is it that you truly want to pretend it never happened deep down, or are you just trying to coax me?” Jiang Huai helplessly lowered his head, looking at the girl’s teary eyes. “Don’t you feel wronged at all?”
“Wanwan… can not care if she is wronged…”
“I will care.” Jiang Huai replied softly. “I have no reason to be angry, and I will never pretend it didn’t happen. It was Wanwan who saved me, I should be thanking Wanwan…”
“Then, then Senior Brother Jiang Huai hurry and wake up… Wanwan’s waist is so sore…”
“Maybe Wanwan needs to work a little harder and circulate the spiritual qi one or two more times?”
“Then… Wanwan will… try a little harder…”
Wen Wanwan looked at Jiang Huai aggrievedly. “From now on… I want Senior Brother Jiang Huai to compensate me…”
