As the Universe Turns - Chapter 904
Chapter 904 Rescue
One night passed. Xiao Chen sat on the windowsill for an entire night. The next day, the morning breeze slowly blew, bringing along the fragrance of plum blossoms in the courtyard. At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside. It was none other than Qin Yue.
“Qin Childe came in a hurry early in the morning, but why are you looking for Xiao?” Xiao Chen looked at his nervous expression and said indifferently.
“Xiao … Childe Xiao!”
Originally, it was just dawn and Qin Yue was afraid of disturbing his rest. Now that she saw that he was not asleep, her face relaxed a little and she said, “It’s Lian’er, Lian’er …”
“I know.”
Xiao Chen slowly stood up. When he saw Qin Lian yesterday, he could tell with a glance that the poison had already invaded his heart meridians. There was at most seven days left. If he didn’t save him, he would surely die seven days later.
Qin Yue nervously said, “Originally, it was fine yesterday, but this morning, the poison in Second Sister’s body suddenly broke out. Please, please Childe Xiao …”
“Let’s go …”
Xiao Chen stopped talking and walked out of the courtyard with him.
…
At this moment, in Qin Lian’s courtyard, she saw that the rocks were ancient and the plum blossoms were blooming. A faint fragrance came from them. Everyone gathered outside a room, but they did not dare to enter. In that room, faint sounds of coughing could be heard continuously.
“Oh, big sister, big sister …”
Qin Yao’s face was full of tears, but she was pulled by Qin Guan. It was all because the poison on Qin Lian’s body was too powerful. If it hadn’t attacked yet, it would be fine. However, once it attacked, no one else would be able to approach it. The poison was very strange. Once it was contaminated with another person, the original poison would increase. This would make Qin Lian’s situation worse.
“Childe Xiao … Childe Xiao is here!”
When they saw Xiao Chen and Qin Yue walk in, everyone immediately retreated to both sides. Seeing him enter, Qin Guan’s heart finally relaxed. “Young Hero Xiao, you’re here …”
Qin Yao was already crying. She had always been the best companion to my sister since she was young. “Oh … who … you … you save my sister …”
Xiao Chen glanced at the crowd and said, “Don’t block the flow of spiritual energy at the door. All of you, go outside the courtyard. From now on, no one is allowed to take half a step into the courtyard without my permission.”
After yesterday’s incident, no one in the Qin Family would question his words anymore. Qin Wanshou said to him, “It’s all thanks to Young Hero Xiao …” As he spoke, he immediately led his men outside the courtyard.
After everyone left, Xiao Chen pushed open the door. The moment he pushed open the door, he immediately smelled a faint fragrance. This was the fragrance emitted from Qin Lian’s body. It seemed that her cold yin constitution was different from that of an ordinary person. Although it was not the Mysterious Yin body of Wei Yang, it could resist the corrosion of the poison on its own. Otherwise, she probably wouldn’t be able to last for three years.
“Xiao … Childe Xiao.”
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Qin Lian seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma. She was afraid that the poison on her body would contaminate the other party, so she leaned back into the bed.
Xiao Chen said, “Young lady, there is no need to worry. Yesterday, even Xiahou Jie’s poison was unable to hurt me.”
Hearing this, Qin Lian felt a little relieved. Behind the screen was a veil. Through the veil, she could faintly see that she was lying on the bed. Her face was slightly pale, and traces of poison had already appeared on her originally flawless skin.
Xiao Chen slowly walked over. When he lifted the veil, Qin Lian subconsciously leaned in and said, “Childe, don’t come over. I, I must be very ugly now …”
“Beauty and ugliness are only skin-deep. I am thought that the girl’s life is still at stake. Give me her hand.”
Xiao Chen had already walked to the bedside. Through the thin curtains of the bed, he could clearly see the light purple poison marks on Qin Lian’s neck.
Hearing this, Qin Mian slowly stretched out her hand after a while. Her wrist was already covered with shallow poison marks. The poison had already penetrated into her heart meridians. No wonder. If it had been treated earlier, it might not have been difficult, but now that she had dragged on for three years, it was already extremely difficult for her to survive.
Xiao Chen gently pressed down on her wrist. The meridians in her body were intricate and complicated. The most direct way to know the distribution of the toxins in her body was to undo her clothes and carefully observe them. However, there were differences between men and women. If Shen Jing was around, he could do so. He could only slowly probe with his divine sense.
However, over the years, he had learned a lot from Shen Jing. It wasn’t difficult to find out the distribution of the poison in Qin Lian’s body.
After about half an hour, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes and withdrew his divine sense. He said, “I will first suppress the poison for Miss. As for clearing the poison, it will not be easy. I need Miss to cooperate carefully these few days.”
“Yes, thank you, Childe Xiao …”
It was only at dusk that the poison on Qin Lian’s body was slowly suppressed. The faint poison marks on her skin had also disappeared. At this moment, she only looked slightly pale. The rest of her face was no different from that of an ordinary person.
Xiao Chen said, “From tomorrow onwards, every six hours, I will give the girl an injection. This way, the poison in her body can be extracted. Tonight, the girl will have a good rest. I am will take his leave first.” After saying that, he went outside.
“Acupuncture …”
Hearing the word “needle”, Qin Lian’s originally pale face suddenly turned red. Could it be that he wanted to …
…
Outside the courtyard, everyone was nervously waiting. Seeing that he had finally come out, Qin Guan asked, “Young Hero Xiao, how is it? Lian’er …”
Xiao Chen said, “I have temporarily suppressed the poison for her, but the poison has been on her body for three years. It has already penetrated into her heart meridians. It will not be easy to completely eliminate it. If she is careless, she will fall into a permanent coma.”
“How, how could this be …”
Hearing this, Qin Yao’s face immediately turned extremely pale. She wanted to say something, but Qin Guan stopped her. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Everything will be troublesome for Young Hero Xiao. If Young Hero Xiao has any needs, just say it.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and said, “The medicinal ingredients I want will be written out later. Old Master Qin just needs someone to come to my room to get them.” After saying that, he went outside.
Qin Yao looked at his departing figure and looked into the courtyard. She was stunned for a moment.
When it was almost dark, Qin Yue came to his courtyard again. Xiao Chen handed him the prescription and said, “There are a total of seven days. The medicine used every day is different. Don’t be mistaken. You have to follow what I wrote when decocting the medicine. Otherwise, your sister’s life will be lost.”
Qin Yue looked at the prescription in her hand and nodded solemnly, “Childe Xiao, don’t worry!”
…
The next day, Xiao Chen went to Qin Lian and had already brought a set of silver needles. When Qin Lian saw the silver needles in his hand, his voice couldn’t help but tremble slightly, “Xiao, Childe Xiao, you’re here …”
Xiao Chen nodded. He took her pulse and said, “Acupuncture doesn’t hurt. However, during the process of drawing the poison, there will be some stinging pain and burning heat. The girl must endure it and can’t use her skills to resist it.”
“I, I know …”
Qin Lian’s voice became a little soft. She wasn’t afraid of pain. It was just that during the process of acupuncture, she had made mistakes at any acupuncture point, and her life was in danger. Therefore, she naturally had to take off all her clothes and not touch an inch of her body.
However, it was already extremely embarrassing for her to be naked in front of a man, not to mention that the other party had to be completely focused on staring at her body …
Thinking of this, her originally somewhat pale face gradually seemed to be stained with a layer of red clouds, and she actually felt a little hot.
Sensing that her pulse was accelerating, Xiao Chen said, “Miss, don’t worry. I am knows how to use needles from afar. I’ll go behind the screen later.”
“This, this …”
Hearing him say this, Qin Lian’s heart finally relaxed. However, he remembered that he was doing his best to save himself, and that he was still making things difficult for him. He was truly ashamed of himself. He whispered, “Hug … sorry, Childe, I just …”
“If you’re ready, let me know.” Xiao Chen’s tone was indifferent. As he spoke, he had already taken the silver needle outside.
“Oh, oh …”
Qin Lian gently bit her lips. After he left, she slowly took off her clothes one by one. In the end, her entire body was completely untouched. She covered her chest with both hands and her face was as red as a glow. She whispered, “Childe, I, I’m done …”
“Put your hands down. Lie down and relax. Don’t let the poison spread.”
Xiao Chen’s voice came from outside. Qin Lian was slightly stunned. How did he know that he hadn’t put his hands down? Could it be that he could see them from outside? Thinking of this, his face turned even redder. But in the end, he slowly put his hands down and lay motionless on the bed. He whispered, “Childe, I… I’m fine.”
“Yes.”
Outside, Xiao Chen closed his eyes gently and didn’t say anything else. He condensed his fingers and used his divine sense to control the needle, “Whoosh whoosh!” The silver needle in his hand flew inside.
Over the years, he had obtained the legacy of Shen Jing. The Spirit Pivot Bloodline was already formidable when it came to needling. Moreover, his divine sense was countless times sharper than that of ordinary people. It wasn’t difficult for him to perform needling from afar.
Until dusk, the silver needles on Qin Lian’s body had all turned black, presumably drawing out a portion of the poison in her body.
Xiao Chen moved his divine sense and withdrew the silver needles one by one. Finally, he carefully put them into the cloth to isolate the poison and said, “Young lady, rest for a good night. I will come back tomorrow.”
Inside the bed curtain, it was unknown if it was because of the needle or something. Qin Lian’s body was slightly red, but the poison had obviously lessened by a lot. No wonder the “divine doctors” who had helped her cure the poison earlier had no choice. Without Xiao Chen’s sharp divine sense and precise needle-casting methods, how could those people cure the poison?
In the next few days, Xiao Chen would go and apply poison injection for Qin Lian every day. By the fifth day, Qin Lian’s entire body had recovered a lot, and she wasn’t that unfamiliar with Xiao Chen.
“I heard that little sister trapped Childe in the formation that day. Little sister has always been used to messing around. Childe must not be so generous with her. Actually, little sister’s heart is very kind …”
“It can be seen that she had a chance to escape when the Snow Beast attacked, but she did not abandon her clansmen.” Xiao Chen said indifferently as he used the needle.
Qin Lian smiled and said, “I didn’t know what Childe meant when I was at the manor that day. Childe, don’t take those words to heart, eh …”
At this point, He paused again, Doubt appeared on his face. “But that day, I still don’t know, ‘”How could Little Sister’s cultivation suddenly become so profound? I seem to have seen a faint black shadow behind Little Sister. Childe Xiao, what exactly is going on … Actually, my sister and I are both cold and gloomy, especially me. That’s why I have been able to see strange things since we were young …”
Xiao Chen said, “If I were to say that there were many strange creatures following me, even Immortal Devil Gods and Buddhas who had died for thousands of years, would this girl be frightened?”
“What … what?”
Qin Lian was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, the room fell into a strange silence. After a while, she slowly said, “I believe what Childe said, but … I actually, I don’t really believe in ghosts and gods. I think that after a person dies, they should enter the Six Reincarnations …”
“Then what if … you can’t enter Samsara?”
Xiao Chen finished using the last silver needle, but at this moment, his voice suddenly became a little cold for some unknown reason, causing Qin Lian, who was lying on the bed, to tremble slightly.
