As time passed, the people outside began to become worried.

“Second Patriarch, do you think he really will be able to slow down Third Miss’ poison?” the girl in green asked with a pout as she looked towards the tent. There was an anxious look in her eyes; she didn’t believe that a youth that they had met by chance would have such an ability.

“I hope he will,” the Second Patriarch said as he stroked his beard.

“How come there hasn’t been any noise for such a long time?” a youth by the side asked as he frowned. “Do you think he might be doing something inappropriate to the Third Miss?”

“Should we go in and have a look?” Hearing this, the other youths’ eyes almost turned red as looks of worry appeared within their eyes.

“Nonsense,” an elder chided. “How can you speak of the Third Miss like that?”

Hearing this, the youths decided not to mention such a thing anymore.

“I hope he knows his boundaries,” the Second Patriarch muttered with his eyes narrowed.

Currently, within the tent, the young woman’s skin was slowly becoming white again. Xiao Yun focused, using his Martial Spirit to extract all of the poison.

Not too long later, the young woman’s tightly-closed eyelids flickered and her long eyelashes trembled as she suddenly opened her eyes.

The young woman’s eyes were quite hazy, as if she had just woken up from a deep sleep. Seeing the unfamiliar youth in front of her, she felt quite confused and asked, “What’s going on?”

Tie Rong’Er felt incredibly perplexed.

She looked down and her heart leapt, feeling incredibly embarrassed and angry. That unfamiliar youth’s hand was actually touching her there!

What was going on?

Her mind went blank, unable to recall what had happened before she had woken up to this situation.

“Ahh!” Within her chaotic thoughts, she let out a cry of shock.

“She’s awake?” Xiao Yun, who was concentrating on using his Martial Spirit to neutralise the poison was shocked back to his senses.

“Who are you?” A look of anger appeared in Tie Rong’Er’s eyes as she stared at the youth furiously.

Whoosh!

At the same time, her palm smashed out towards Xiao Yun. However, in the next instant, she felt that her hand was being gripped by something, and she was unable to move it at all.

“Let go of me!” Tie Rong’Er roared, her face bright red as she hatefully stared at the youth opposite her. She was desperately struggling, wanting to get away, but as she moved, Xiao Yun’s hand also touched her skin.

“Crap!” Xiao Yun’s pupils contracted, feeling that the situation was bad.

“You!” Tie Rong’Er was embarrassed and angry to the extreme.

“Looks like you’ve recovered quite well,” Xiao Yun smiled as he looked at the young woman.

“I’m going to kill you!” Tie Rong’Er roared. However, as she moved, Xiao Yun’s hand also moved. The unfamiliar hand on her body made her feel as if there was lightning coursing through her body.

This caused Tie Rong’Er to feel so humiliated and furious that she wanted to find a hole to jump into.

“Miss, I think you’ve misunderstood,” Xiao Yun said. “I’m extracting your poison for you.”

“Misunderstood?” Tie Rong’Er stared at Xiao Yun in confusion.

“But you’re clearly taking advantage of me. If you don’t let go, I’m going to call for people.”

“Without me, would you have been able to wake up?” Xiao Yun asked as he slightly frowned.

Following this, Xiao Yun moved his hand away from the large mountains, revealing the wound.

“Can’t you feel that the poison within your body has lessened?” Xiao Yun asked as he continued to use his Martial Spirit to extract the poison.

“It’s true.” After thinking about it, Tie Rong’Er blinked, revealing a surprised expression.

“I’m extracting your poison for you and saving your life. It’s not like what you were thinking,” Xiao Yun said.

“Do you have to do this though?” Tie Rong’Er’s anger gradually disappeared. However, seeing her exposed skin, she still felt quite indignant. To a young woman who refused to be even touched by strangers, how could she not be angry? She didn’t know this youth at all!

“I’m very sorry about that, but it’s because your wound’s there.” Xiao Yun had a frustrated look on his face as he continued to explain, “Plus, this method of mine requires that I directly touch your wound, so it can only be like this. Otherwise, if we waste any time, it might be difficult for you to last even another 2 hours.”

Tie Rong’Er had been looking at the hand that Xiao Yun was using to touch her skin with great suspicion. It glowed with a jade-green light, but what he said made sense, so she decided to trust him at least temporarily. It was just that she felt incredibly embarrassed in this situation.

“Can you go any faster?” Tie Rong’Er looked delicate and beautiful, breathing raggedly as her ears began red from embarrassment. Hearing her voice, anyone would feel their body grow weak.

“Ahem, it’ll be done soon,” Xiao Yun said as he cleared his throat.

“What happened just then?” At this moment, someone outside had heard the commotion inside and wanted to know what was going on.

“It’s nothing much; your family’s young miss’ poison has started to weaken,” Xiao Yun replied.

“Miss, was that you calling out just then?” the girl in green outside worriedly asked. There was something wrong about that voice just then!

Could it be that this fellow had ill intentions and wanted to do ‘that’ to the young miss? Thinking to there, the girl in green’s face became filled with worry. Beside her, some youths had walked over. They had also heard the cry from afar.

“It’s nothing.” Hearing everyone asking if things were alright, within the tent, Tie Rong’Er’s breathing became more ragged as her peaks rose and fell. Because of her moving body, Xiao Yun couldn’t help but touch some of the softness.

This caused Tie Rong’Er to feel incredibly embarrassed, and her cheeks became even redder.

“Miss, you’re awake?” Hearing the voice from inside the tent, a look of joy appeared on the girl in green’s face.

“Mm,” Tie Rong’Er replied.

“That’s great! I’ll come in to check on you now,” the girl in green said happily, about to go in.

“Don’t!” Tie Rong’Er hurriedly cried out. If her family members saw her like this, she would be so ashamed that she would die!

“Oh.” Hearing this, the girl in green stopped her footsteps.

“Alright, we’ll wait outside then,” the Second Patriarch said with a look of delight on his face. Following this, the Tie family’s members all retreated.

Xiao Yun continued to help the Tie family’s Third Miss extract her poison. However, he did not dare to recklessly move about, in fear of the situation becoming even more awkward.

The poison was no match for Xiao Yun’s Martial Spirit and was easily neutralised.

As time passed, the Tie family’s Third Miss gradually regained the lustrous glow on her skin. The darkness on her skin had long since retreated and her skin had become snow-white again, giving off the fragrance of youth. Her skin had once again become supple and tender, and pleasant to the touch.

Xiao Yun closed his eyes, trying to use the Martial Spirit to store some of the poison. When he found that the Martial Spirit could absorb all vital essence within the heavens and the earth, and had sprouted a Fire Essence Qi sub-branch and Chilling Qi sub-branch, he wondered if even more sub-branches could be created.

However, he could only store a small amount of poison, so that he would not be distracted. His Martial Spirit had not yet fully awakened, so its strength was limited. As such, he still had to wait.

“ Why has he closed his eyes? ” As time passed, the Tie family’s Third Miss looked around in boredom. She secretly glanced at the youth, but found that his eyes were closed. His slightly young face looked quite handsome.

He had sword-like eyebrows and had a well-defined face. There was a heroic air around him, making him seem quite extraordinary.

However, seeing that his eyes were closed, the Tie family’s Third Miss frowned. If it was anyone else, they would be secretly looking at her body as much as possible!

“ Why isn’t he looking? ” The Tie family’s Third Miss thought in confusion. She had been incredibly embarrassed, but now, she felt more angry than embarrassed.

She was one of the most beautiful young women in the North Mist City, and there were countless youths chasing her. How come he didn’t even try to look at her?

“ Could he be embarrassed as well? ” The Tie family’s Third Miss frowned, but after thinking about it, would he really be embarrassed even after putting his hand there? Could it be that he thinks I’m not pretty or attractive enough, so he doesn’t even bother looking at me?

Thinking to there, the Tie family’s Third Miss became even angrier.

“ What a tasteless fellow. ”

Swish! Swish!

At this moment, the sound of the air being torn sounded out.

“Watch out, there are enemies attacking!”

“It’s the Qi family’s people!” The valley instantly burst into noise as people started to cry out.

Everyone in the Tie family held their weapons, forming a tight defensive formation.

At this moment, the Tie family’s Second Patriarch was standing at the head of the Tie family’s people. He was holding a large sword and his long beard swayed in the wind as he gave off a sharp aura. He coldly stared ahead of him like a furious lion, preparing to fight at any moment.

However, he did not act rashly, because on both sides of the valley, men wearing tight clothes for battle walked closer and closer. They were all holding bows with poisoned arrows, preparing to shoot when they came close enough.

Evidently, these people belonged to the Qi family. A few days ago, the Tie family had encountered a similar attack, causing them to lose many people.

“Second Patriarch, what should we do?” A middle-aged man walked over, looking quite worried as he said, “They’ve brought even more people this time!”

“I never thought that they’d catch up with us so quickly,” the Second Patriarch sighed as he deeply frowned. They had prepared to leave at dawn, but the Third Miss’ poison had acted up again. Extracting the poison had taken 1 hour, which caused them to fall into this crisis.

In front of them, 2 cultivators descended from a hill.

“Haha, Tie family’s Second Patriarch, looks like it’ll difficult for you all to escape this time.” The two people descended with one person at the front and one at the back.

“Qi Zhong, Qi Ming!” the Tie family’s Second Patriarch growled as he saw them.

“Give us the Skyfire Medallion, or all of you will die here today,” Qi Zhong said as he walked forwards. He was nearly 40 years old, and was not very tall. However, his eyes were as sharp and piercing as an eagle’s, and he gave off a powerful aura.

“Hmph, with just you two? If you want to harm my Tie family’s people, you’ll have to pay a price.”

The Tie family’s Second Patriarch jolted his large sword as a powerful aura erupted from his body.

“Haha, why would we need to use our full strength against you?” the Qi family’s brothers coldly laughed as they walked towards the Tie family’s camp.

They waved their hand as the other men gathered in, drawing their bows back. On each of their bows was a gleaming poison arrow.
