She shook her head blankly: "It's been suppressed for now, but I absorbed too much miasma before, and my emotions and body may get out of control at any time."

Ye Jinyan frowned slightly. Ye Ling's internal energy was disordered, and an evil energy was rampaging through her body, trying to damage her meridians and organs.

However, he sensed that there were two other auras protecting her heart meridian. If it weren't for these two auras, Ye Ling might have been in real danger this time.

He knew that these two auras came from the Fusang tree and the heart of wood, and that it was their life force protecting Ye Ling.

However, they can only play a protective role; as for driving away and purifying, although they do exist, their effect is minimal.

As he used his healing abilities to purify the evil energy within her body, he asked Ye Ling, "What caused you to vomit blood? And who is this old hag you mentioned? I need to know the whole story."

Once Ye Jinyan gets serious, his charm skyrockets, completely captivating Ye Ling, who doesn't even listen to what he's saying.

Ye Jingyan reminded her from the side, "Lingling, your third brother is asking you why you vomited blood. Tell him what happened."

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Ye Ling cursed herself inwardly, "What kind of time is this to be daydreaming like this? How pathetic."

A smile flashed in Ye Jinyan's eyes. Very good, the fact that she could swoon over him meant that she wasn't indifferent to him.

Ye Ling said earnestly, "Before the apocalypse broke out, my Yin-Yang Pearl absorbed a ring containing the remnant soul of a snake demon. It awakened as the Yin-Yang Pearl absorbed miasma and yin energy."

After it saw my soul and body, it tried to devour my soul and possess my body. When I refused, it attacked me.

Ye Jingyan and Ye Jinyan frowned simultaneously. A remnant soul of a snake demon? It wanted to possess her body and devour her soul?

They finally understood why Ye Ling was vomiting blood and why her whole body was bleeding.

She was going through a life-or-death struggle without their knowledge; one wrong move and she would be gone.

Ye Jingyan felt a wave of fear wash over him. He reached out and hugged her around the waist, kissing her eyebrows, eyes, and lips repeatedly. His voice trembled as he spoke, "I'm sorry for leaving you to face such danger alone."

"You've gone through something so terrible and we couldn't even help you in the slightest. I even had the audacity to say before that I was there and would help you share the burden..."

This was the first time Ye Ling had seen Ye Jingyan lose his composure. She said, "No need to apologize. This was my tribulation, it has nothing to do with you. Besides, I've already killed it, it's all over now."

Ye Jinyan was helping her purify the evil energy in her body, so he couldn't kiss Ye Ling like his older brother did.

He felt jealous: "Brother, can you let go of Lingling? She needs to rest right now."

Then he asked Ye Ling softly, "Did this remnant soul tell you the solution?"

Ye Ling was gently put down by Ye Jingyan. She hummed in agreement: "It said that my Yin-Yang Pearl absorbed a lot of evil energy. Among these evil energies are many remnant souls like itself. Those remnant souls have not been purified by the black fish and may awaken at any time."

It told me that the Yin-Yang Pearl had lost its balance, and if I didn't find something of ultimate yang energy to suppress this evil, I might be devoured by it at any moment and eventually become a puppet wreaking havoc on the world.

Upon hearing this, the two brothers panicked completely.

Devouring, puppets, remnant souls...

They grasped Ye Ling's hands, one on each side, and asked nervously, "Tell us the truth, can doing 'that' with us also solve these problems in your body?"

This is not something an ordinary person can solve; they have encountered an unprecedented problem.

But they never considered backing down; faced with difficulties, they only thought about how to solve them.
