Xue Ying Poison Crippling

In the Infernal Palace, inside a house owned by Xue Ying.

He was currently alone, curled up on a bed, trembling and perspiring so much it looked like starch paste had formed. He gritted his teeth so that only the quiet sound of his breathing could be heard. Unknowingly, he had been rolling left to right on the bed.

Soundlessly and ceaselessly, his soul was crying out in agonizing pain.

There was nobody other than him in the house. Jing Qiu had originally wanted to stay with him through the night, but he had chased her out instead; he didn’t want his pain and suffering to be seen. On top of that, there was nothing Jing Qiu could do even if she was by his side, so, understanding his pride, she could only nod and leave him alone.

The night passed. Outside, the sky was brightening up as the sun rose.

But the pain he felt was only getting more excruciating. Gradually, it was approaching a peak.

At this moment, there was not even a single drop of medicine left in his body! The Six Ghosts Resentment hexing poison exploded with a mighty power, corroding Xue Ying’s body faster than his Undying Body could recover. He was depending on his Undying Body to withstand the poison! Every moment felt distant, yet Xue Ying cold only grit his teeth and try to hold on.

That was right.

Although he could only live for another 200 years at most, wasn’t it true that the longer he lived, the greater his hopes for a future? Xue Ying’s bones were filled with a perseverance which made him the sort of person who would not simply bow down and accept fate!

“Xue Ying, a day has passed. You can drink the medicine,” the voice of the green-armored protector announced.

“Mn.” Xue Ying groaned. Even his breathing was coarse.

At the same time, the black bottle gourd appeared in the air by his side. Xue Ying used the World Energy to control the bottle gourd, remove its cord, and pour out the medicine. Hua, a dose of Hundred Bitter Restoration wrapped in World Energy flew directly into Xue Ying’s throat.

So comfortable! As the medicine entered his body, the originally crazy and wanton-acting Six Ghosts Resentment was instantly and completely suppressed, lessening the pain Xue Ying felt. During this process of the pain being reduced, he couldn’t even taste the ‘bitterness’ of the Hundred Bitter Restoration. The sole feeling which washed over his body was…comfort. It truly was comfortable, so comfortable that he felt as if he had just reincarnated!

Hu.

A moment later, Xue Ying finally let out a breath. The sweat covering his body turned to nothing, and his complexion recovered. After all, he had an Undying Body.

This was merely the first day. I didn’t think it would be so excruciating. Signs of a smile appeared at the corners of Xue Ying’s lips. While he did feel like he had just walked away from death’s door, he had, nonetheless, not fainted during the first day! That being said, he had barely maintained full control of himself for four hours. During the other eight, he had just suffered in bed. Storing the black bottle gourd standing by his side, he stood up.

Zhi ya! The sound of door opening could be heard.

He saw a beautiful woman standing right outside, in the courtyard. Jing Qiu was already there, clearly waiting for him.

“Disciple Brother Xue Ying.” Jing Qiu hurriedly ran over. Her bright eyes were filled with a sliver of concern. “How is it? It wasn’t easy to hold on for a full day, right?”

“It is still passable. At least I didn’t faint.” Xue Ying laughed. “Let’s go. We’ll bid farewell to Palace Head Chen. It’s about time for us to return.”
