As they were talking, a layer of silver ripples suddenly spread through the space of the ward.
"Whoosh--!"
With a flash of silver light, Na'er, holding Bi Ji's hand, stepped out from the void. Bi Ji was wearing an elegant light green dress today, and her emerald green hair exuded a rich life force. As soon as they entered the room, the originally lifeless ward instantly became full of life.
"Greetings, Senior Bi Ji!" Everyone bowed in unison.
Dugu Bo, as if seeing a lifeline, looked at Bi Ji Poison Douluo an almost pleading tone. "Your Majesty Bi Ji, please save Yanzi! If you can save her, my Dugu Bo will be yours!"
Bi Ji gently waved her hand, signaling him to be quiet. She walked to the bedside, her soft hand gently stroking Dugu Yan's forehead, and her emerald-like Soul Power gently seeped into Dugu Yan's body.
A moment later, Bi Ji withdrew her hand and looked at Gu Tian with a solemn expression. "The situation is more complicated than we imagined. Her meridians have been completely eroded by the snake venom, and the toxins have accumulated in her acupoints, blocking the flow of her Soul Power. If her internal organs are not thoroughly cleansed, even a god could not save her."
"Sister Bi Ji, what should we do now?" Gu Tian asked.
Bi Ji took out a small, emerald-green porcelain bottle from her bosom, which emitted a faint, exotic fragrance.
"I still have some residual essence of the Emerald Soul-Stabilizing Pill, which, combined with some external life essence, can cure the root cause. However..." Bi Ji's eyes became somewhat strange. She looked at Gu Tian, her tone becoming unusually serious, "This essence is extremely potent and must be injected into her heart meridian instantly. But Dugu Yan's jaw is clenched, and her meridians are blocked, preventing her from swallowing. The only way is for someone to use their own Soul Power to force the medicine into her abdomen mouth-to-mouth and guide its effects."
Bi Ji paused, her gaze sweeping between Gu Tian and Yu Tianheng before finally settling on Gu Tian:
"Moreover, this person must be Gu Tian. Because your Martial Soul is the Dragon God, which has a natural bloodline suppression against the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, preventing the poison from rebounding during the medication process. More importantly, you need to simultaneously mobilize the ultimate ice and fire attribute Soul Power within your body to flush her internal organs along with the medicinal liquid. This is called 'ice and fire tempering.' Anyone else simply cannot suppress that poison."
These words immediately created an extremely strange atmosphere in the ward.
Yu Tianheng's expression froze for a moment, his face turning from deathly pale to a purplish-red, and a deep pain and struggle flashed in the depths of his eyes. He looked at his lover lying on the hospital bed, his life hanging by a thread, and then at the dashing Gu Tian standing to the side.
This method of saving his life was nothing short of the greatest mockery of him.
But he knew very well that he had no other choice now; for Yanzi's life, he had to accept this reality that was driving him almost insane.
"Brother Gu Tian..." Yu Tianheng lowered his head, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, "Please... save her."
Looking at Dugu Yan's pale face, Gu Tian took the porcelain bottle from Bi Ji's hand without hesitation. He knew that this was not only about saving people, but also a crucial step in completely subduing the Jade Phosphorous Clan.
"Senior, Teacher Qin, please go outside and keep watch. The treatment must not be disturbed."
Gu Tian walked to the bedside and slowly lowered his head in the suffocating silence.
The air in the ward was so thick it was almost solidified. All breathing stopped as Gu Tian moved, and all eyes were fixed on Gu Tian actions. Bi Ji activated her Emerald Swan Martial Soul behind her, and green healing light shone on everyone, making everyone present feel their blood boiling with Soul Power.
Gu Tian bent down, paused for a second in front of that ashen face, and then firmly pressed his lips to those cold, slightly chapped lips due to dehydration. The emerald green medicine entered Dugu Yan's mouth in that instant, bitter yet carrying an intense, irresistible life force that rushed straight to her throat.
However, this was just the beginning.
Gu Tian's eyes narrowed, and the Dragon God Core within his body began to operate at high speed. Two opposing yet perfectly Dragon God Soul Power, one red and one blue, were violently injected into Dugu Yan's body through his lips and teeth.
"Hmm..."
Unconscious, Dugu Yan let out a muffled groan. She felt as if her internal organs, which had been being gnawed at by thousands of venomous snakes, were suddenly met with an extremely contradictory impact. On her left was a scorching heat capable of burning away evil spirits, and on her right was an extreme cold capable of freezing pain. Under the guidance of the emerald green medicinal liquid, these two forces transformed into an unstoppable torrent, frantically washing away the emerald phosphorus poison blood that had accumulated deep within her meridians.
The medicine took effect extremely quickly. Under the repair of the Emerald Soul-Stabilizing Pill's original liquid, Dugu Yan's originally weak and almost stopped breathing suddenly became heavy and steady.
Gradually, amidst that suffocating sensation, Dugu Yan's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and then slowly opened.
As the vision cleared, the first thing that came into view was Gu Tian's face, so close that it appeared extremely handsome due to his focused concentration.
Dugu Yan's brain instantly went blank.
She wanted to struggle, wanted to scream, but found that she had no strength in her limbs, as if her body no longer belonged to her. She could only maintain this position, feeling Gu Tian's movements.
"What's going on? Gu Tian? He... he's kissing me?"
Dugu Yan's heart pounded at its peak in an instant. Out of the corner of her eye, she was horrified to find that the ward was packed with people! Her grandfather Dugu Bo, Teacher Qin Ming, her teammates... even Yu Tianheng were all watching from the side.
She quickly recalled the scene before she lost consciousness, realizing that her forceful attempt to break the seal had caused a backlash from her Martial Soul. So... was Gu Tian saving her?
But this method of saving people is just too... too outrageous!
It wasn't just lips to lips; guided by Gu Tian's Soul Power, she could clearly feel their tongues accidentally touching. The moistness, warmth, and the exchange of scents from the opposite sex that she had never experienced before made even the self-proclaimed fiery-tempered Dugu Yan blush completely.
What devastated her even more was that Gu Tian's mouth seemed to have a strange sensation of "ice and fire." Under the extreme effects of the drug, this intimate contact, which she should have resisted intensely, actually gave her a... inexplicable, damnably pleasurable feeling.
" Tian Heng is also there..."
Dugu Yan caught a glimpse of Yu Tianheng out of the corner of her eye. The usually spirited successor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Rex was now turning purple, his fists clenched tightly.
A pang of guilt rose in Dugu Yan's heart. She had told Yu Tianheng that she was a slow starter, and that their relationship had progressed too quickly; they needed to take it slow. She had even planned to save her first kiss for their engagement. But now... forget a first kiss, this was practically a deep kiss! Even the saliva...
"Wait a minute, why is Ning Rongrong here too?"
Dugu Yan's gaze swept over Ning Rongrong, who was standing at the back.
From childhood to adulthood, due to the delicate relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Jade Phosphorous Clan, she had spent a considerable amount of time interacting with Ning Rongrong. In Dugu Yan's eyes, Ning Rongrong was a spoiled, spoiled, and arrogant rival.
Seeing Ning Rongrong staring at Gu Tian with a mixture of anger, anxiety, and helplessness, a strange, indomitable spirit welled up from the depths of Dugu Yan's heart.
" Ning Rongrong... is this the fiancé you chose?"
In that instant, Dugu Yan even deliberately loosened her clenched jaw, allowing Gu Tian's breath to penetrate even deeper.
"Aren't you usually so boastful? Now open your eyes and see! Your man is saving my life, in a way you'd never even dream of..."
This vengeful pleasure mixed with shame caused a strange blush to appear on Dugu Yan's originally pale face, and even her heartbeat became somewhat erratic.
"Alright, that's enough, Gu Tian."
Bi Ji's voice finally broke the ambiguous and eerie silence.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tian decisively released his grip and slowly stood up. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his expression, which had been slightly tired due to the high-intensity output of Soul Power, instantly returned to normal.
Dugu Yan finally regained some strength. She lay on the bed somewhat awkwardly, her chest heaving. She could feel some glistening liquid that didn't belong to her lingering at the corner of her mouth, and the itchy sensation as it slid down her cheek made her so embarrassed that she wanted to faint.
Should I lick it? Or wipe it off?
No, if I lick it, someone will definitely see! Ning Rongrong will laugh at me for the rest of my life! But letting it flow there is just too uncomfortable.
Just as Dugu Bo was about to rush over to check on his granddaughter's injuries, Ye Lingling stepped forward first. This girl, who had always been aloof, naturally took out a snow-white handkerchief that exuded a faint fragrance and gently wiped away the remaining warmth and traces from Dugu Yan's lips.
"Are you feeling better, Yanzi?" Ye Lingling asked in a low voice, her eyes carrying a hint of teasing from a close friend.
Dugu Yan closed her eyes in embarrassment, nodded, and didn't dare to look at the expressions on everyone's faces.
Bi Ji turned around and nodded slightly to Dugu Bo. Her gentle aura dispelled most of the anxiety in the entire ward.
"Mr. Dugu, the treatment is remarkably effective," Bi Ji explained with a smile. " Gu Tian's Martial Soul possesses the supreme power of the Dragon God, which has an absolute advantage against the Jade Phosphorous Serpent. Just now, during the process of administering the medicine, his Soul Power not only suppressed the backlash but also helped your granddaughter clear the stagnant toxins that had accumulated over many years."
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up with joy; his anger had vanished without a trace, leaving only a face full of ecstatic delight.
"Really? You mean... Yanzi's life has been saved?"
Bi Ji nodded. "Not only was it saved, but based on the absorption efficiency just now, as long as Gu Tian cooperates and performs two to three more courses of Soul Power cleansing, the congenital Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison in her body may be completely eradicated."
"That's wonderful! I really don't know how to thank you enough!" Dugu Bo said, tears streaming down his face, expressing his gratitude to Bi Ji.
Bi Ji pulled out a small notebook from behind her. "No need for thanks, Mr. Dugu. Your treatment cost is 100,000 Gold Soul Coin, Dugu Yan's treatment cost is 150,000 Gold Soul Coin. I will also give you a few extra treatment courses. Would you like to pay by card or cash?"
"..."
"?"
Dugu Bo was stunned. Why did they need more money, and so much at that? It was about to empty his savings. However, Gold Soul Coin were something you couldn't take with you when you died, so he could just earn more if he lost them! Now that both he and Dugu Yan had been cured of their poisons, Dugu Yan could finally enjoy her old age with him.
"Ahem, swipe your card!"
After hearing Bi Ji's words, Dugu Yan on the bed and Yu Tianheng beside the bed fell into an indescribable silence.
How many more treatments are needed?
So... we'll have to kiss several more times?!
Ning Rongrong gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, her large, jewel-like eyes practically spitting fire. Gu Tian, on the other hand, touched his nose, glancing somewhat awkwardly out the window, but secretly gloating: maybe this time he could even win over Dugu Yan!
