"The Guanghan Palace in the Northern Regions?"

Lan Hua was slightly surprised, "No wonder you can use the invisible ice arrow!"

Huo Xiaoxiao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, but fortunately Lan Hua dodged it by stepping aside.

"Your injuries are serious; if you don't get treatment soon, you'll die!"

Huo Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said weakly, "It's none of your business. Don't touch me!"

Lan Hua was speechless. Even at a time like this, they still cared about saving face.

Having already saved her, how could Lan Hua watch the beautiful woman die? So he picked her up and carried her toward the dilapidated Taoist temple.

Huo Xiaoxiao struggled slightly in his arms, but quickly gave up.

Lan Hua chuckled inwardly: "Giving up after just a few tries? What happened to your promise not to?"

Inside the Taoist temple.

Lan Hua first set up five layers of defensive talismans in a small house before preparing to heal the beauty.

After all, Chen Ke only retreated and was not injured, so he could return at any time.

Perhaps at this moment, he is lying in ambush somewhere nearby, waiting for the right moment to strike.

How terrifying must an enraged killer be?

"Miss Xiaoxiao, I need to use my internal energy to force out the silver needles, please bear with it!"

Huo Xiaoxiao nodded weakly.

Lan Hua placed a palm on the beauty's back; although there was a layer of clothing between them, it felt soft and yielding.

A surge of energy flowed into the beauty's body, and sensing the location of the silver needle, it tried to force it out.

"ah…"

The beautiful woman suddenly let out a soft cry, as if she was in unbearable pain.

"Miss Xiaoxiao, please be patient, it will be quick!"

However, no matter how much Yuan energy Lan Hua poured in, the silver needles inside the beautiful woman's body just wouldn't come out.

The aloof beauty was writhing in pain, her face deathly pale, a truly chilling sight.

Lan Hua withdrew her right hand, her expression grave.

"Miss Xiaoxiao, your injuries are far more serious than I imagined!"

"I can't force the silver needles out of your body!"

Huo Xiaoxiao collapsed onto the broken bed, barely breathing.

Lan Hua was afraid she would die immediately, so she quickly gave her a heart-protecting pill to prolong her life for a while.

He didn't refine this Heart-Protecting Pill; it was a gift from Kong Xuan.

After taking the Heart-Protecting Pill, Huo Xiaoxiao's pale face began to regain a little color, but not much.

He also had a little more strength to speak.

"These silver needles are no ordinary ones; they may be the rare and powerful weapon, the Silver Needle!"

"Silver Needle? What's that?" Lan Hua asked.

Huo Xiaoxiao coughed slightly, which aggravated her injuries, causing her brows to furrow.

"The silver needle was originally hard, but it softened once it entered the body, becoming like a hair, firmly embedded in the flesh, and could not be forced out with effort!"

"The more you exert your energy, the tighter it embeds!"

Lan Hua gasped, thinking to herself that Chen Ke was insidious and vicious. Luckily, she hadn't fallen for his tricks, or she would have suffered terribly.

"Then how can we remove the needle!"

"Pull the flesh open to remove the needle!" Huo Xiaoxiao said, enunciating each word clearly.

Lan Hua cursed inwardly, finding the act far too bloody.

Huo Xiaoxiao gave a wry smile, "I'm counting on you!"

The thought of having to use his hands to pull the silver needle from the beautiful woman's body filled Lan Hua with a sense of utter turmoil.

"Let me get ready!"

Lan Hua thought that this was, after all, a surgical operation, and even if there were no suitable conditions, they had to create some.

"We need a dagger. Do you have one, beautiful lady?"

Huo Xiaoxiao nodded and handed him a gleaming dagger.

Lan Hua piled up a bunch of dry firewood, and with a slight turn of her right hand, a red flame appeared at her fingertips, igniting the firewood.

Huo Xiaoxiao was taken aback because she sensed the difference in that flame.

"It really was him!"

After everything was ready, Lan Hua said, "It will hurt a lot next, Miss Xiao Xiao, please bear with it!"

Just as Lan Hua was about to make her move, she was dumbfounded.

The beautiful woman in front of him had been hit by five silver needles: one on each arm, one on each thigh, and two on her upper body.

However, the two places on her upper body were too awkward, being too close to her proud, snow-capped peaks.

To remove the needle by cutting open the flesh, one must take off the upper body clothing, which is the greatest violation of a beautiful woman's rights.

The red mark on her arm still indicated that she was still a virgin.

Seeing Lan Hua's doubts, Huo Xiaoxiao struggled to sit up and took off her white clothes stained with blood.

Lan Hua was completely stunned!

He could tell that Huo Xiaoxiao was trembling all over when she took off her top.

The beautiful woman was surprisingly direct and decisive.

The proud white rabbit was right in front of Lan Hua's eyes, still swaying slightly.

Huo Xiaoxiao snorted, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and do it!"

His voice trembled slightly, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Clearly, the beautiful woman was also in pain when she made this decision.

Lan Hua heated the dagger with fire, but hesitated to lower her hand, fearing she might damage Wu Xia's body.

Taking a deep breath, Lan Hua finally made her move on the body.

The moment the dagger touched her body, Huo Xiaoxiao's body visibly trembled.

"ah!"

My breathing became rapid.

Tears fell silently.

She cut open the skin, extended two fingers, closed her eyes, and explored for a moment before finally finding the location of the silver needle.

Just as Huo Xiaoxiao had predicted, the silver needle was very soft after entering the body, turning into a twisted shape.

"No wonder I couldn't force it out with effort!"

After a long while, Lan Hua finally took out the five silver needles.

After wiping her body clean, Lan Hua quickly dressed her.

Huo Xiaoxiao curled up on the broken bed, still crying silently.

After a long while, her complexion became rosy and her breathing became even.

Lan Hua suddenly broke the silence in the room.

"I'm sorry for offending you today!"

"I'm not sorry, you saved me!"

Lan Hua wanted to say that he would take responsibility for her, but then he realized that he already had someone else in his heart.

In the end, I couldn't bring myself to say those words.

Five silver needles lay quietly on the wooden board, the bloodstains already dried.

To Lan Hua's surprise, the five silver needles straightened up again and became tools for killing once more.

"You should be glad that Chen Ke didn't poison the silver needle, otherwise, I would have been powerless to help!"

Huo Xiaoxiao put away the five silver needles, which puzzled Lan Hua.

"These five silver needles tormented me half to death. I'm going to return them all to Chen Ke!"

After the silver needles were inserted, Huo Xiaoxiao's health immediately improved, and she even had the strength to speak.

Lan Hua said, "That's right, let's fight fire with fire!"

"However, how can we take down Chen Ke?"

Huo Xiaoxiao said angrily, "Once my injuries have healed, we'll join forces and definitely take down Chen Ke!"

Lan Hua asked, "Why do you trust me so much?"

"Aren't you afraid that I saved you because I had ulterior motives?"

Huo Xiaoxiao snorted, "We've already saved her, why think so much!"

"Besides, your deeds are now known to everyone in the entire Xuanhuang Continent!"

"But I don't think you're an evil person!"

Lan Hua smiled awkwardly, never expecting to become a celebrity on the Xuanhuang Continent.

How could he possibly survive in this world after that?

Lan Hua suddenly asked, "How did you learn the Invisible Arrow Technique?"

Does the Moon Palace possess such a unique skill?

Huo Xiaoxiao smiled, a smile as beautiful as a peach blossom, a stark contrast to her previous cold and aloof beauty.

"I was going to ask you where you got your invisible archery technique!"

"You asked first!"

Lan Hua looked at her quietly, waiting for her answer.

"Someone from the Half-Heaven Realm taught me!"

"Half-Heaven Realm?"
