The Chengying Sword grew hundreds of times larger. A cold glint flashed, and a chilling aura emanating golden light spread, as if possessing world-destroying power.
The cave was instantly coated in frost, the air seeming to solidify.
The exoskeleton of the Demon Face Spider, now just a husk, became covered in thick ice, its movements gradually slowing.
Pei Yanqing formed a hand seal. After burning a portion of his soul to forcibly boost his power, the Chengying Sword pierced the Human Face Totem on the Demon Face Spider's head with lightning speed.
The Demon Face Spider immediately let out a piercing shriek, its wildly thrashing body causing the entire cave to tremble.
Countless spider silks, poisonous mist, and red fluid sprayed out, as if intending to drag Pei Yanqing down with it.
Unfortunately, it was merely a futile struggle. After spitting out its last strand of silk, the Demon Face Spider finally breathed its last.
Yun Luo held up an umbrella to block the falling debris. Once the cave returned to calm, she hopped back to the ground along the protrusions of the stone wall, fanning away the dust kicked up by the fight.
When her vision cleared a bit, she saw Pei Yanqing kneeling on the ground, propping himself up with his sword, one hand clutching his chest.
She hurried over and helped him sit up, leaning against her.
Only then did she see the bloodless pallor of his face and the dark purple of his lips.
Pei Yanqing spat out a mouthful of blood. Just as he was about to say something, the spider's corpse suddenly twitched.
Yun Luo jumped up in fright, grabbed the Chengying Sword from the ground, and plunged it into the creature again.
The Demon Face Spider's corpse shuddered once more and then lay completely still.
"So it was just rigor mortis," she said, clutching her chest in relief and casually placing the sword aside.
"How are you?"
Pei Yanqing looked at her with complex eyes. The Chengying Sword had been so easily picked up by her without his suppression, and she hadn't suffered any backlash.
"I got hit by the spider's venom. It's stronger than me, and I'm already injured, so I can't force the poison out."
Yun Luo took out some detoxification pills and fed them to him. Although they couldn't cure the poison, they could temporarily slow its spread.
"Wait for me, I'll see if I can find a solution."
Yun Luo pulled out a large encyclopedia of demon beasts and flipped to the page about the Demon Face Spider. Fortunately, it recorded a method to detoxify its venom: one only needed to dig out its gallbladder and ingest the bile.
As expected, a solution was within three steps.
Yun Luo didn't even bother to put away the book. She grabbed her sword and leaped onto the Demon Face Spider's corpse.
She located the gallbladder, cut open the skin and flesh, and extracted it. The Demon Face Spider was enormous, and its gallbladder was no small thing, nearly the size of an elephant.
She took out a jade bottle and collected two bottles, then handed them to Pei Yanqing.
"Drink up, it'll detoxify you."
Pei Yanqing trusted her implicitly and drank the two bottles of bile without blinking. He had expected a terrible taste, but it was surprisingly sweet and fragrant, like spring water mixed with a little honey. The moment he drank it, the burning pain in his body vanished.
Pei Yanqing was seriously injured and needed time to recover. He set up a restriction at the cave entrance to prevent other demon beasts from intruding, then sat down to meditate and heal his wounds.
Seeing that he was out of danger, Yun Luo took out her Qiankun Pouch and walked towards the Demon Face Spider's corpse. She first broke open the spider's belly and rummaged inside, pulling out a demon core the size of a basketball. Compared to the Demon Face Spider's ugly exterior, its demon core was much more beautiful, almost the color of a pink pearl, with shimmering, iridescent patterns flowing across its surface.
Yun Luo couldn't help but touch it. The demon core actually displayed Pei Yanqing's handsome face, naked and doing a leg-kicking dance to seduce her. She quickly steadied her mind and put it into her Qiankun Pouch. She had only known that the poisonous mist sprayed by the Demon Face Spider could cause hallucinations, but she hadn't expected its demon core to be able to confuse one's mind.
Just as she was about to collect the corpse as well, a faint gleam caught her eye. With a surprised sound, she pried open the dantian again. Inside, there was another white bead. This bead radiated dense spiritual energy, unlike any Yun Luo had absorbed before. It was very pure, giving off a comfortable feeling. Just touching it with her finger, a continuous stream of spiritual energy flowed into her body, so comfortable that her pores opened. No wonder the Demon Face Spider hadn't shown signs of depleted spiritual power after fighting for days and nights; it must have been due to this bead.
She collected them all and then began to pry the ore from the stone wall.
These were all treasures, not to be wasted.
Chapter 34: Make Him Drink Two Bottles of Bile (Page 2/2)
With a Spirit Artifact in hand, Yun Luo pried quickly. In just half a day, she had extracted all the ore from the entire cave.
Besides that, she found a hole under a flat stone, filled with all sorts of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, most of them Heavenly Grade Spirit Plants.
She figured this was the Demon Face Spider's hoard accumulated over many years, and Yun Luo happily accepted it all.
Thank you, nature, for your bounty.
Finally, the entire cave was bare, leaving only the Creation Tree that couldn't survive outside.
Yun Luo didn't plan to take it with her. Leaving it here, perhaps in a thousand years, it could offer an opportunity to someone in need.
After doing all this, she remembered Pei Yanqing.
She wondered how his injuries were.
Without the illumination of the ore, the cave became pitch black.
Yun Luo took out a Jiaozhu. Its gentle light could illuminate a radius of ten zhang.
Soon, she saw the giant rock where Pei Yanqing had been sitting, but he was no longer there.
"Pei Yanqing?"
She jogged over, holding the Jiaozhu and circling the stone, but she couldn't find him.
"He's not dead, is he?"
She refused to give up and went to look elsewhere. Just two steps out, she was suddenly embraced from behind by a burning body.
She tried to cry for help, but half her face was covered by the other person's hand, and she felt a wet sensation on her neck, followed by a slight pain.
"Pei Yanqing?"
Yun Luo recognized him. Pei Yanqing briefly regained consciousness due to her cry.
He let go of her, clutching his head and stumbling back a few steps, his voice hoarse, as if suppressing something.
"Leave!"
Yun Luo saw his bloodshot eyes and her heart skipped a beat.
Could the Encyclopedia be wrong?
She quickly flipped through the book, finding the relevant page.
Bile could detoxify, that was correct.
She flipped through it again, unwilling to give up, and discovered that the page wasn't finished; the next page had more.
[...Take three to five drops depending on the situation. Bile is potent and excessive consumption can have an aphrodisiac effect.]
Yun Luo: ...
What kind of person would split such important annotations onto another page?
Three to five drops...
She had just given Pei Yanqing two bottles, and each bottle could hold a jin of wine.
What was the difference between this and drinking two jin of aphrodisiac?
Yun Luo felt a pang of self-reproach, but also a stir of excitement.
This might be her only chance to obtain his Primal Yang.
She reached for the water-attribute pill she kept close to her body and looked at Pei Yanqing, who was still chanting the Clear Mind Incantation.
Perhaps to suppress his own terrifying desires, his arm was covered in many new wounds.
He looked broken and pitiful.
She walked towards him.
"Don't come closer."
His voice was urgent, but Yun Luo acted as if she hadn't heard, continuing forward until she stopped in front of him.
His burning body temperature felt like it could melt her from a distance.
Yun Luo looked at him with a complex expression. The Xuangujingling Mirror appeared in her hand.
A drop of blood fell from Pei Yanqing's arm, landing precisely on the mirror's surface.
After a flash of white light, a green ripple appeared on the mirror.
His Primal Yang was still intact.
"You should leave quickly."
Pei Yanqing still had a sliver of reason left. He formed a hand seal, intending to send her away.
However, his injuries had not healed, and after drinking two bottles of Demon Face Spider bile, the overwhelming heat of desire made it impossible for him to form a complete seal.
Yun Luo hooked her lips and stepped forward to hug him, her body pressed tightly against his chest.
"If you don't push me away, I'll take it as your consent."
With that, she buried her hands in his messy hair, forcing his head down.
Then, she lifted her foot and kissed his lips.
His body was hot, but his lips were cool, carrying a clear, cool fragrance like him.
Pei Yanqing tried to push her away, but after touching her soft body, he gradually stopped.
A large bed appeared behind them. Yun Luo's face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but use her Beguiler Technique, her eyes shimmering.
A Spirit Transmutation cultivator wouldn't normally be affected by her, but in Pei Yanqing's eyes, Yun Luo was impossibly beautiful at this moment. Even the strands of hair clinging to her temples felt like a string, tightly entwining his heart.
His lips responded unconsciously.
The moment they fell onto the bed, their positions reversed.
A deluge of kisses rained down densely...
