Using His Body to Cure the Poison

Myriad Calamities Valley, inside a stone house.

In the dim stone house, two figures sat against the wall, their eyes unfocused and their faces flushed, as though struggling desperately to endure something.

One wore blue robes and was a handsome young man of eighteen or nineteen. He was none other than Duan Yu, who had parted ways with Nalan Sheng several days earlier.

The other had an adorable face and wore her hair in two ponytails. She was Zhong Ling, the young mistress of Myriad Calamities Valley.

Three more figures had gathered outside the stone house. Their leader was an ugly, blue-robed man leaning on a crutch.

The other two were a rather attractive woman in black with three scars on each cheek, and a tall, skinny, sleazy-looking man who resembled a bamboo pole.

"That little bastard really lucked out, getting the first taste of such a little beauty."

Peering through the small window in the stone door at the two people nearing the limits of their endurance, Yun Zhonghe could not help wiping away his drool. "Boss, once this is done, you have to hand that little beauty over to me for some fun."

"Fourth Brother, you've rendered quite a service this time."

Duan Yanqing's lips remained still as a hoarse voice emerged from his belly. "Once this is done, never mind that little girl-even those lovers of Duan Zhengchun's can all be yours to do with as you please."

"Thank you, Boss!"

Yun Zhonghe's face lit up with wild delight.

He could not help congratulating himself on his good fortune. Having long coveted Zhong Wanchou's wife, Gan Baobao, he had secretly spied on her and accidentally discovered that Zhong Ling was actually Duan Zhengchun's illegitimate daughter.

After Yun Zhonghe told Duan Yanqing, the two soon devised a vicious scheme.

They would lock Duan Yu and Zhong Ling together, feed them some drugs, and make them commit an act that would disgrace the entire Duan Royal Family.

Zhong Wanchou and Gan Baobao would certainly never agree, so Duan Yanqing and the others had simply killed Zhong Wanchou and deliberately let Gan Baobao escape to seek help from Duan Zhengchun.

If Duan Zhengchun and his companions dared come to Myriad Calamities Valley, they would fall into the trap Duan Yanqing and the others had laid. Then they would be denied both life and death.

"What a shame. Who knows where that fellow Yue Laosan has run off to?"

Playing with the infant in her arms, Ye Erniang frowned. "If he were here, our plan would be that much more secure."

"Boss, that fellow's getting more and more unruly. Once he comes back, you really ought to teach him a proper lesson."

Hearing this, Yun Zhonghe promptly seized the chance to kick a man while he was down.

"Unfortunately, Yue Laosan won't be coming back."

Before Duan Yanqing could reply, a clear, hearty voice suddenly rang out from nowhere. Then two figures emerged from around a nearby corner.

"Who's there?"

Seeing Nalan Sheng and Mu Wanqing appear so suddenly, Ye Erniang's expression shifted, and wariness crept onto her face.

"Ooh, where did this pretty little lady come from? Let me give you a proper..."

The moment Yun Zhonghe saw Mu Wanqing, he could not resist making a lewd remark. But halfway through his sentence, his body collapsed beyond his control.

"Fourth Brother, you..."

Duan Yanqing and Ye Erniang's expressions changed drastically. A moment later, they too collapsed helplessly.

Only after seeing that all three had lost the ability to resist did Nalan Sheng smile mockingly. "Come back."

Under their shocked gazes, a Shadow Ninja with gray-blue skin and scarlet eyes suddenly emerged from the shadows in a corner of the stone house.

The Shadow Ninja also held a palm-sized jade bottle.

With a few leaps, the Shadow Ninja reached Nalan Sheng and handed him the jade bottle containing Tendon-Softening Powder.

Tendon-Softening Powder was a poison recorded in the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture. It was colorless, odorless, and extremely volatile.

Even a Da Dou Shi who inhaled it would lose all strength and have to lie down for at least four to six hours before recovering.

Although the Shadow Ninjas excelled at stealth, they were weak in their own right, so Nalan Sheng had specifically equipped them with poisons for self-defense.

With those potent poisons and their elusive stealth abilities, the Shadow Ninjas could readily overcome opponents stronger than themselves.

"My wife, I'll leave these three to you. I'm going to see how Zhong Ling is doing."

"All right."

Naturally, Mu Wanqing had no objection to Nalan Sheng's arrangement.

Only after Nalan Sheng entered the stone house did Mu Wanqing approach the Three Great Evildoers.

First, Mu Wanqing handed the infant in Ye Erniang's arms to the Shadow Ninja standing by. Then she extended her jade-white palm and gently pressed it against Yun Zhonghe's dantian.

Under normal circumstances, Yun Zhonghe would have been delighted to be touched by a beauty like Mu Wanqing.

But now his entire body was limp and powerless, and he could not even move his tongue. Nothing remained in his heart but boundless terror, for he had no idea how Mu Wanqing would torment him.

As Mu Wanqing drove the Northern Darkness Divine Skill to its fullest, a powerful suction surged from her palm, drawing the internal energy Yun Zhonghe had painstakingly cultivated for years into her body in an unending stream.

This is... the Power-Dispersing Art!!!

Feeling the internal energy within him ebb away bit by bit, Yun Zhonghe's pupils trembled violently, and despair spread across his face.

For a sexual predator like Yun Zhonghe, losing the martial arts he took such pride in meant that, even if he escaped this place alive today, his victims' friends and relatives would surely beat him to death someday.

"Sheng... Brother Sheng, I... I'm so hot..."

Meanwhile, Zhong Ling, who was on the verge of losing her senses, kept wriggling in Nalan Sheng's arms, her hands tugging uncontrollably at her clothes.

"Throw that fellow out, then stand guard outside. Don't let anyone in."

At Nalan Sheng's command, two Shadow Ninjas picked up the tightly bound Duan Yu and carried him out of the stone house without expression, thoughtfully closing the door behind them.

"Don't worry, Ling'er. Brother Sheng will help cure your poison right away."

[Ding! The host has taken the destined heroine's virginity. Reward: 5,000 Villain Points!]

Soon, another pleasant notification sounded in Nalan Sheng's ears, and he redoubled his efforts to help cure Zhong Ling's poison.

More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Hearing the sounds of the treatment still continuing inside the stone house, Mu Wanqing could not help rolling her eyes.

During that time, Mu Wanqing had long since drained all the internal energy from the Three Great Evildoers.

Although some of their internal energy had inevitably been lost in the process of converting it into Northern Darkness True Qi, Mu Wanqing had still gained sixty or seventy years' worth of Northern Darkness True Qi.

With such immense internal energy, Mu Wanqing needed only to learn a few offensive martial arts to leap into the ranks of the martial world's foremost experts.
