Just then, Yun Jianyue and Yu Yanluo walked over.

Seeing this, Yan Xuehen quickly turned her face away, and Zu An also tacitly withdrew his hand, while simultaneously removing the sound barrier around them.

"How is it going? How are the results?" Yun Jianyue asked.

"It's alright," Yan Xuehen replied somewhat awkwardly. It was more than just alright; she didn't want to experience that situation again.

"What do you mean 'not bad'?" Yun Jianyue frowned, looking at her rosy cheeks, wondering how this ice-cold woman could have such a charming side. She simply took it as the steam from the healing process and didn't think anything of it. "Grandpa, how effective is it?"

Zuan replied, "The toxins and the entanglement of her meridians and internal organs have been separated, and her internal injuries have also been treated. A few more treatments should be enough to completely eradicate the problem."

"Again?" Yan Xuehen was startled, her face turning as red as if it were about to bleed.

"What's wrong with you?" Yun Jianyue said suspiciously. "They went to great lengths to heal you, and you're not happy about it."

"I...I just..." Yan Xuehen's face turned bright red, but he couldn't explain the reason to her.

Yu Yanluo, standing to the side, seemed lost in thought. She had personally experienced the reaction to being healed by Zu'an; could it be that she too…

However, the two of them were not far away and did not hear any unusual sounds.

Zu An coughed lightly: "Actually, Master Yan should rest for a while first. Once he has recovered a bit, he can heal himself by circulating his internal energy, so he may not necessarily need my help."

Hearing him say that, Yan Xuehen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him with gratitude in her eyes.

Yu Yanluo's attention was entirely on her lover when she suddenly exclaimed, "Auntie, what happened to your hand?"

Yan Xuehen's expression immediately became somewhat unnatural, as there seemed to be a trace of her lipstick mark remaining on it.

Zu An withdrew his hand and laughed, "It's nothing. Abbot Yan was just severely poisoned, so I used some bloodletting to help her detoxify."

Yu Yanluo couldn't blame Yan Xuehen, so she could only painfully clean and bandage her lover's wounds. She was startled when she saw the faint lip print, but ultimately said nothing.

Zuan said, "It's really nothing. I recover very well, and the wound has basically healed by now."

Yun Jianyue asked curiously, "Your blood can detoxify? Don't let others find out, or countless old monsters will want to use your blood to make medicine."

Zuan said, "Don't worry, we're all on the same side, it won't be spread outside."

"One of our own..." Upon hearing this title, the three goddesses in the room reacted in different ways.

Yun Jianyue patted Yan Xuehen's shoulder: "Now that you have his blood in your veins, you're really one of us."

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Yan Xuehen glared at her mortal enemy, both ashamed and angry. What did he mean by having his bloodline? It was as if she was pregnant with his child.

"You drank his blood, so you have his bloodline in your body, right? I didn't say anything wrong." Yun Jianyue snorted disdainfully, then looked at Zu An with a strange expression. "You brat, you're really going all out. You don't actually want to woo this ice queen, do you?"

Yan Xuehen wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. This vixen was so outspoken; she had no semblance of the demeanor of a senior expert.

Zu An chuckled awkwardly, "Sister Leader, you flatter me. She is Chu Yan's master, so naturally I will do my best to save her. Even if you are injured, I will not stand idly by."

Yun Jianyue's expression softened: "You know how to talk, kid."

She was just joking casually. Because she had been enemies with Yan Xuehen for so many years, she knew this ice-cold woman too well and knew that she was not the type to get entangled with men. Who would have thought that her casual teasing would touch on the truth?

Yan Xuehen's face turned pale, and her expression suddenly became dejected. Was it just because I am Chu Yan's master?

Oh dear, what am I thinking? She's Chu Yan's husband.

Despite constantly reminding myself of this, I still couldn't hide the bitterness in my heart.

Realizing this, she was completely stunned. Could it be that she had really fallen in love with her apprentice's man?

Hearing Yun Jianyue's constant chatter in her ear, she felt irritated and said directly, "If you're jealous, have Zu An treat you."

Yun Jianyue jumped up immediately: "Me, jealous of you? Besides, what's there to be jealous of in this kind of thing?"

Yan Xuehen said, "You are seriously injured, so of course you need treatment."

She figured she couldn't let herself suffer alone; she'd let Yun Jianyue experience that shame too, and then they'd be even. She'd see how Yun Jianyue would have the nerve to laugh at her afterward.

"Forget it, although I am seriously injured, my internal energy can still circulate on its own, and my self-healing speed is not slow, so there is no need to trouble Azu." Yun Jianyue shook her head as she looked at the fine sweat on Zu An's forehead.

Yan Xuehen regretted her words immediately after speaking. She knew how arduous the entire healing process was, and how much energy and vitality Zu An had expended. Her body might not be able to withstand another round of treatment.

And for some reason, she didn't want Yun Jianyue to experience that feeling either; it was a secret between her and Zu An.

Zuan also knew that although Yun Jianyue's injuries were severe, they had not damaged his essence and he was not in mortal danger, so he did not insist.

If she were to experience that feeling of shame again under these circumstances, it would definitely create a chaotic situation.

At this moment, Yu Yanluo said, "I just searched the area and found a road that leads to the Snake Clan. The mine entrance is now completely blocked. Why don't you come with me to the Snake Clan and take a detour back to the human world from there?"

Yan Xuehen frowned slightly. In the past, she would never have agreed, and might even have called for a fight with the snake clan. However, she had recently gone through life and death with Yu Yanluo and had been saved by her, so she felt too embarrassed to do so again.
