Deep within Xilin, inside the Ice Palace.
Xiao Yan's hand, frozen red from the ice, still tightly gripped Leng Bingshuang's icy wrist, ignoring her struggles. The Heavenly Flames within him surged into Leng Bingshuang's body again and again, only to be devoured by the eerie ice time and time again.
"Damn it! What on earth is going on?!"
After several unsuccessful attempts, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel anxious. Although his relationship with Leng Bingshuang wasn't exactly good, she had saved his life before. Even if they had different motives, one thing was one thing, and Xiao Yan was determined to help Leng Bingshuang resolve this matter today, no matter what.
" Elder Gu, please take a look, what exactly is going on?"
Left with no other choice, Xiao Yan had to place all his hopes on Gu You.
"Hey kid, you're always trying to push this kind of thing onto an old man like me."
Gu You chuckled and cursed, then separated a Spiritual Strength and injected it into Leng Bingshuang's body along with Xiao Yan's arm.
This proves the saying that under absolute power, any resistance is futile. Just like now, the moment Gu You's wisp of Spiritual Strength was injected into Leng Bingshuang's body, the terrifying cold air that was originally coming with great momentum and might suddenly retreated like a tide, completely losing the fierce and domineering power it had when facing Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames.
Gu You's Spiritual Strength circulated within Leng Bingshuang's body once before being withdrawn. However, Gu You's next words instantly darkened Xiao Yan's expression.
"This little girl's situation is not very optimistic right now!"
Gu You's voice sounded rather heavy, and from this alone, Xiao Yan could already sense the seriousness of the situation.
The fact that even Gu You could utter such pessimistic words indicates that the situation could not be easily resolved.
" Elder Gu, what exactly is wrong with her?"
Xiao Yan frowned deeply. He couldn't just sit idly by, whether out of emotion or reason.
"Hey, remember why this girl wanted to Bodhi Restoration Pill?"
Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, then seemed to remember something, raised an eyebrow, and said in surprise:
"Is it the cold poison in her body?"
"That's right. This girl has probably been injured for quite some time. The prolonged delay, coupled with the fact that this is an extremely cold place, has caused the cold poison to flare up, becoming more and more severe with each attack. Now, she simply cannot withstand the power of the cold poison and can only let it spread unchecked."
Gu You explained to Xiao Yan in a solemn tone. Upon hearing this, the latter's expression changed involuntarily. He hadn't expected that the cold poison in Leng Bingshuang's body was even more terrifying than he had anticipated.
Normally, when Leng Bingshuang appears before outsiders, she exudes a powerful and domineering aura that inspires fear. But who knows the intense and unbearable pain she endures beneath her strong exterior?
To protect the Xilin Mountain Range, Leng Bingshuang has endured much alone.
With this in mind, Xiao Yan dared not hesitate any longer. He flipped his hand and quickly took out the Bodhi Restoration Pill, intending to feed it to Leng Bingshuang.
"Etc!"
At that moment, Gu You suddenly spoke up to stop Xiao Yan.
"The cold poison in this girl's body has accumulated to an unimaginable level. It's unlikely that the Bodhi Restoration Pill alone can completely eradicate it. Giving it to her now won't have much effect."
"What should we do then?"
Upon hearing Gu You's words, Xiao Yan quickly withdrew his outstretched hand, his brows furrowed, and he hurriedly asked Gu You in his mind.
"The best course of action now is to use the Heavenly Flames to warm and nourish her body first. Once the cold poison is suppressed to some extent, we can then use the Bodhi Restoration Pill to completely eliminate the hidden danger."
As Gu You finished speaking, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a surge in his head, and a Xiao Yan of information rushed into his mind.
The method given by Gu You involved injecting Heavenly Flames into several areas of Leng Bingshuang 'Leng Bingshuang body where the cold poison was relatively weak, thereby removing the cold poison from her body in the shortest possible time.
However, after Xiao Yan carefully sorted through the information in his mind, his Elder Zhang couldn't help but become hot.
The areas most vulnerable to the cold poison that Gu You gave him, besides the head, included the neck, the heart and lungs, and the lower abdomen where the qi vortex was located. These areas were not only key to the body's functions but also where the body's energy was most abundant. Logically speaking, the information Gu You gave him was correct. However, its location made Xiao Yan feel somewhat embarrassed.
These areas are undoubtedly the most sensitive parts of a woman's body. If touched, Xiao Yan dared not imagine whether the woman in front of him would tear him apart in a fit of rage once she recovered.
"Gurgle..."
Thinking of this, even with Xiao Yan's strong will, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, and swallowed hard as his throat moved slightly.
" Elder Gu... you... you're not trying to frame me, are you...?"
Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly, and he asked inwardly with a forced smile.
"Hehe, with your skill level, you should be able to tell, right? Besides the places I gave you, what other methods do you think could save her? You saw it yourself earlier; with the power of that cold poison, your Heavenly Flames simply couldn't enter her body. If you forced it in, it would only harm her. You don't want to hurt her, but you still want to save her. The method I gave you is the safest one. If you're not willing, then I have no other choice."
Gu You chuckled, and what he said left Xiao Yan speechless. Gu You was indeed right; the places he pointed out were indeed the weakest points of the cold poison in Leng Bingshuang's body at the moment. Apart from that, there was no other way for Xiao Yan to inject the Heavenly Flames into her body.
"Sigh... don't blame me!"
With a helpless bitter smile, Xiao Yan finally looked up at the woman in front of him. At a glance, he saw that Leng Bingshuang was on the verge of fainting. In this short period of time, the cold poison in her body had indeed become more intense, perhaps because she sensed the threatening aura of Xiao Yan from the outside world.
"Gurgle..."
With a slight tremor, Xiao Yan slowly raised his hand and moved it to Leng Bingshuang's lower abdomen. Just as Xiao Yan was about to strike, Leng Bingshuang, who was about to faint, suddenly opened her eyes.
A pair of icy eyes stared at Xiao Yan with a murderous intent that seemed almost monstrous. The chilling killing intent was undisguised, and her pale face was icy cold. She paused, letting out a painful groan, before speaking in a cold, sharp voice:
What do you want to do?!
The sudden appearance of this scene caused Xiao Yan to abruptly retract his outstretched hand, his entire body jolting violently. He involuntarily took two steps back. The woman's sudden, almost supernatural, action nearly scared him half to Xiao Yan. Taking a deep breath, his breath trembling, Xiao Yan whispered:
"The cold poison in your body is getting worse. Don't move, let me help you expel the poison."
"Get out! I don't need you..."
The moment Xiao Yan finished speaking, Leng Bingshuang roared in fury, but before she could finish her sentence, the world in front of her suddenly went black, and she immediately fainted.
