Seeing Tang San and the others leave in defeat, Dugu Yan was in high spirits, her face brimming with a satisfied smile.
She had long found Tang San unpleasant.
If she had been able to beat him, she would have taught him a lesson long ago.
Xue Tianmo paid it no mind, putting on a contemplative expression.
"Tang San has already begun making contact with Dugu Yan."
"I need to hurry up and steal that brat's opportunity at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Xue Tianmo thought to himself.
He knew that if things continued developing from here, it would be more or less time for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well storyline.
He had long intended to steal Tang San's opportunity.
Now that things had reached this point, there was even less chance he would let it go.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing also came over, her eyes full of admiration as she looked at Xue Tianmo.
Before, in her battle with Dai Mubai, he had firmly suppressed her before she used Lingbo Weibu.
But after she used Lingbo Weibu, even though Dai Mubai's Soul Power was higher than hers, she still beat him senseless!
And all of it was thanks to Xue Tianmo.
"Tianmo, th-thank you!"
After approaching him, Zhu Zhuqing spoke with a face full of gratitude.
Xue Tianmo smiled faintly and gestured for Zhu Zhuqing not to worry about it, then turned to look at Dugu Yan beside him.
At that moment, Dugu Yan was looking at Xue Tianmo as well.
Their gazes met and intertwined.
For some reason, a faint ripple stirred in Dugu Yan's heart.
"Um... my name is..."
Just as Dugu Yan was about to introduce herself to Xue Tianmo, the toxins accumulated within her body chose that moment to flare up.
Under the assault of the toxins, Dugu Yan's expression changed drastically.
Her head immediately felt heavy and muddled, and her vision blurred.
Before she could finish speaking to Xue Tianmo, darkness fell over her eyes, and she fainted on the spot.
"Hmm?"
Xue Tianmo frowned. With quick reflexes, he caught Dugu Yan in his arms.
Zhu Zhuqing, standing nearby, was startled by the sight.
"Tianmo, what happened to Dugu Yan?"
She asked in shock. Dugu Yan had been perfectly fine just moments ago, so how had she suddenly fainted?
"The toxins accumulated in her body have flared up."
After replying, Xue Tianmo looked around and spotted an abandoned little house not far away. He hurriedly carried Dugu Yan over.
"Stand guard outside. Don't let anyone come in. I'll help her get the toxins under control first."
Xue Tianmo looked at Zhu Zhuqing and instructed her.
"Alright!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, then stood guard outside while Xue Tianmo carried Dugu Yan into the little house.
After entering, Xue Tianmo quickly laid Dugu Yan down and removed her outer garment.
Looking down, Dugu Yan's perfect figure was laid bare before his eyes.
Her jade-like long legs and full, towering curves all radiated an irresistible charm.
After looking for a moment, even Xue Tianmo's mind began to wander. He quickly calmed himself.
Next, he did not delay. He placed his hand against Dugu Yan's body and used the power of Extreme Ice to suppress the toxins within her.
Before long, Dugu Yan's complexion improved considerably. Some color returned to her deathly pale cheeks, and her breathing became much smoother.
"Huff!"
Xue Tianmo took a deep breath and withdrew his hand.
At the same time, Dugu Yan, who had been unconscious, slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw was Xue Tianmo's handsome face.
"Hmm?"
Dugu Yan frowned, somewhat confused.
Then she discovered that someone had removed her outer garment.
After giving it a little thought, Dugu Yan was instantly horrified. She sprang upright as though a spring had been installed beneath her.
After sitting up, she grabbed her outer garment and held it over her chest.
"Y-you... what did you do to me?"
Dugu Yan stared at Xue Tianmo in shock as she questioned him.
Seeing this, Xue Tianmo smiled calmly. Knowing that Dugu Yan had misunderstood him, he explained,
"Don't misunderstand. I didn't do anything to you."
"The toxins accumulated in your body suddenly flared up earlier. I was the one who helped you suppress them."
After hearing Xue Tianmo say that, Dugu Yan finally remembered.
Earlier, she had been about to introduce herself to Xue Tianmo.
Who would have thought that the toxins in her body would flare up at such an unfortunate time?
After sensing herself slightly, she found that the toxins in her body had indeed been suppressed.
"Um... I'm really sorry. I misunderstood you."
"Thank you for helping me suppress the toxins in my body."
"Oh, right. My name is Dugu Yan. What's yours?"
Xue Tianmo smiled faintly and did not hide it. "Xue Tianmo!"
Dugu Yan nodded and remembered Xue Tianmo's name.
Then she hurriedly put her outer garment back on, lowering her head shyly.
After all, she had not been wearing much to begin with. Once Xue Tianmo removed her outer garment, he could see practically everything that should not have been seen.
And earlier, while she had been unconscious, had she not been completely at Xue Tianmo's mercy to admire her body?
The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed Dugu Yan became, a crimson blush swiftly spreading across her cheeks.
Xue Tianmo paid it no mind.
He had indeed looked at Dugu Yan's body just now, and because he had needed to suppress the toxins, he had even touched her.
After a moment of silence, Xue Tianmo said,
"The toxins in your body..."
Before Xue Tianmo could finish, Dugu Yan sighed helplessly and said wistfully,
"The toxins in my body were probably something I was born with!"
"As my strength and age increase, the toxins will only accumulate more and more."
"For the rest of my life... I may never be able to get rid of them."
At this point, Dugu Yan wore a deeply despondent expression.
Hearing this, Xue Tianmo smiled calmly and said,
"Who told you that you could never get rid of them?"
"I have a way to help you resolve the toxins in your body."
As soon as Xue Tianmo said this, Dugu Yan was utterly stunned. She said with disbelief written all over her face,
"Is that true?"
Xue Tianmo nodded.
"Of course. There's no need for me to deceive you about something like this."
"There are two ways to resolve the toxins in your body."
Dugu Yan was even more shocked.
Even her grandfather had been completely helpless against the toxins in her body, yet Xue Tianmo said he could resolve them—and that there was more than one way.
Still reeling from shock, she hurriedly pursed her lips and asked, "Quick, tell me. What are the methods?"
Xue Tianmo did not keep her in suspense and replied directly,
"The first method is to find a suitable soul bone for you."
"Then, draw all the toxins accumulated in your body into that soul bone."
"Of course, this only treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. While it can alleviate the toxins in your body—"
"No one knows when the toxins attached to that soul bone might erupt!"
Dugu Yan gave a soft acknowledgment and hurriedly asked, "Then what about the second method?"
Xue Tianmo smiled faintly and said, "The second method is to completely remove the toxins accumulated in your body, but..."
He paused there before adding, "But the prerequisite is a place with exceptionally abundant spiritual energy."
