For the Sake of Her Goal, She Would Stop at Nothing!

With the auxiliary function provided by Merit Points exchanges, Jiang Xuan succeeded on his very first attempt at refining the White Bone Flesh-Regenerating Pill. Dugu Bo, who had watched the entire process, was utterly astonished and did not know what to say for a moment.

Even though he did not know what kind of pill the boy had refined, he could tell from its aura alone that it was no ordinary medicine.

Most importantly, the boy had actually refined a full five pills from a single batch of ingredients!

What kind of heaven-defying technique and success rate was that?

No wonder Jiang Xuan had no interest in his theories about herbs. Compared to that alchemy technique, his own theories did not even deserve to be called trash...

Dugu Bo had many questions at that moment, but due to his current identity, he could only keep them bottled up for now.

Qian Renxue, on the other hand, had no such reservations.

She had long noticed something.

Jiang Xuan seemed to have no resistance whatsoever to her current tiny body!

Given her personality of stopping at nothing to achieve her goals, she hesitated only slightly before directly hugging the arm Jiang Xuan was using to hold the pill. As she slowly rubbed against it, she asked in a childlike voice,

"Jiang Xuan, what kind of pill did you refine? It looks different from the previous one."

Jiang Xuan truly had not expected Qian Renxue to pull something like this out of nowhere.

When they had traveled alone before, she had still been somewhat wary of him. Yet now, with outsiders and elders present, she had actually become bolder!

Seeing this, Chen Xin, who was meditating some distance away, immediately narrowed his eyes.

What exactly was this girl from the Angel Clan trying to do?

Had she truly developed feelings for Jiang Xuan, or did she have some unknown motive?

Qian Renxue had left Spirit Hall at a very young age and disguised herself as Xue Qinghe. Even those within Spirit Hall knew very little about this young mistress, much less an outsider like Chen Xin.

If she had not revealed her Angel Six Wings earlier at Jiang Xuan's request, Chen Xin likely would not have guessed her true identity even now.

Should he take this opportunity to remind Jiang Xuan, or warn this girl from the Angel Clan?

Chen Xin considered the matter seriously before ultimately deciding to watch for now.

First, he trusted Jiang Xuan's self-control and did not think the boy would lose his senses over an outsider.

Second, he did not believe this girl from the Angel Clan would truly dare to cause trouble right under his nose.

Most importantly, Chen Xin felt that, as a qualified elder, it was best not to interfere too much in matters between juniors.

Jiang Xuan's feelings were extremely complicated at that moment.

Still, whether he should admit it or not, having a little girl cling to his arm and act spoiled was genuinely hard to handle.

This move was simply too devastating against him. Even though he knew Qian Renxue was at least ten years older than his current self, her body, voice, and behavior were all filled with childishness...

"Cough, cough. This is the White Bone Flesh-Regenerating Pill. As for its effects, you'll know once you see them..."

After taking the initiative to ease the awkwardness, Jiang Xuan willed it and directly brought the unconscious Xiao Wu out of the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Although he had just refined pills once, the formation within the Eight Trigrams Furnace had protected Xiao Wu well under his control and had not allowed her body to suffer any harm.

Upon seeing Xiao Wu's mangled body, Dugu Bo immediately came to a conclusion.

This transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was on the verge of death. With injuries this severe, even immortals could not save her!

But while he had reached that judgment, he did not casually voice it. After all, his current identity was that of a servant, and commenting freely on his master's actions without permission was a grave taboo!

In front of everyone, Jiang Xuan felt awkward and tried to pull his arm free from Qian Renxue's embrace. However, she was holding on far too tightly. After several failed attempts, he simply switched hands, took the medicine, and fed it to Xiao Wu.

The pill melted the instant it entered her mouth. Even though Xiao Wu was unconscious, it did not affect the release of its medicinal power in the slightest.

Soon, beneath everyone's watchful eyes, Xiao Wu's blood-soaked right shoulder began to regain life.

First, several tiny buds of flesh emerged. Then those life-filled buds rapidly multiplied and grew. In no more than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, a brand-new, fair arm had appeared where Xiao Wu's right shoulder had once been empty. Xiao Wu herself also awoke from her unconsciousness, though her mind was muddled for a moment.

What was going on?

Shouldn't I already be dead?

Had I reached heaven?

Wait... something was wrong!

How could there be demons in heaven?!

She was not dead!

And the pain throughout her body seemed to have disappeared...

The arm that had been burned away and refined was back too!

What was going on?

Could those painful memories in her mind have been nothing more than a dream?

Seeing Xiao Wu remain frozen in place without speaking, Jiang Xuan could not help himself. He had wanted to step forward and snap her out of it, but Qian Renxue was still clinging to his arm. Left with no choice, he could only entrust the task to Qian Renxue.

"Stop hugging me for now. Go slap that Soul Beast twice and wake her up."

Having been ordered around again, Qian Renxue had already grown much more accustomed to it. She immediately released Jiang Xuan's arm, walked over to the dazed Xiao Wu, and swung both arms, giving her two slaps in quick succession.

A boy might feel psychologically burdened about hitting a girl who could barely resist.

But when one girl hit another, there were far fewer reservations.

Feeling the burning pain on her face, Xiao Wu instantly snapped back to her senses and instinctively wanted to fight back.

Unfortunately, the cage Chrysanthemum Pass had specially designed for her still bound her body. Without escaping the cage, even standing up was extremely difficult for her.

"Tsk. Should I say my pill worked too well, or that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's vitality is too strong? After all that earlier torment, you still have the strength to try resisting. Looks like the previous lesson was not harsh enough. You still haven't learned what pain is!"

The moment Jiang Xuan said that, Xiao Wu's body began trembling uncontrollably.

Although her body had recovered its health, the pain and torture Xiao Wu had endured several hours earlier had already seeped into her bones.

At the slightest recollection, overwhelming terror made her burst into tears.

"No! Don't! Don't torture me anymore! Please spare me! As long as you spare me, I'll do anything you want!"

Jiang Xuan had not expected this rabbit to surrender so quickly...

He just did not know whether she was only pretending to submit or had truly submitted.

"Anything I want? You'll agree to it?"

Hearing that, Xiao Wu immediately nodded hard.

"I see... Then what if I told you to personally kill the person you were closest to before? Someone like Tang San."
