Inside the room, Bai Hao and Ouyang Yan tacitly remained quiet, neither of them showing any intention of leaving.

Ouyang Yan needed some time for the antidote to take effect after taking it.

Bai Hao's reason was simply that the situation outside was still unclear, and since Ouyang Yan couldn't move on her own, he didn't want to run away with a burden on him.

"Let's go out once you've recovered a bit," Bai Hao said, glancing at the situation outside the door once more.

This time, however, Ouyang Yan did not reply to him.

"Ouyang Yan?" Bai Hao turned around in confusion and saw Ouyang Yan standing by the wall, her left hand covering the wound on her right shoulder, her face showing pain. It was clear that the poison in the wound had taken effect!

"Hey, how are you?" Bai Hao rushed over in a flash.

"The poison has taken effect? ​​Didn't you take the antidote?"

"This poison is beyond my expectations. My antidote can only... temporarily suppress it." Ouyang Yan's pretty face was pale, her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her teeth were clenched. Every word she spoke was almost squeezed out from between her teeth.

"What should we do? Should we take another one?"

"No, I have to drain the poisonous blood from the wound." As she spoke, Ouyang Yan began to take out a small dagger from her belt.

But a series of sharp pains struck, causing her to lose her grip on the dagger, which clattered to the ground. Ouyang Yan herself could barely support her body, letting out a painful groan as she leaned forward.

Bai Hao reacted quickly, rushing over to catch Ouyang Yan and letting her lean against him.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"I...I'm sorry." Ouyang Yan leaned weakly on Bai Hao's shoulder, the excruciating pain from the poison almost causing her to faint.

"Hey, do you want me to help you?" Bai Hao asked.

The pills from the Dan Sect aren't very reliable; they can't even cure poison.

He helped Ouyang Yan lean against the wall and picked up the small dagger from the ground.

"This is troublesome...Young Master Bai." Ouyang Yan hadn't fainted yet, but the pain almost prevented her from speaking.

Bai Hao held a small dagger, its blade gleaming with a sharp, cold light.

He nervously licked his chapped lips, feeling involuntarily tense at the thought of performing the surgery himself.

However, Bai Hao soon discovered the first obstacle—Ouyang Yan's clothes.

She was poisoned in the shoulder, so at the very least, her right shoulder needs to be exposed before surgery can be performed.

"Um... your wound needs... we need to take off the clothes on your right shoulder a little so that the poisonous blood can be drained," Bai Hao said, his mouth dry. He himself felt that this request seemed a bit excessive, but there was no other way.

As expected, upon hearing Bai Hao's words, Ouyang Yan's pale face immediately flushed pink.

"Um... thank you for your trouble, Young Master Bai."

Ouyang Yan nodded slightly, clenched her teeth, and slowly closed her eyes, whether because of the pain from her wound or something else, it was unclear.

Gurgle.

Bai Hao swallowed hard, then carefully reached out to Ouyang Yan and gently pulled down the clothes on her right shoulder.

Feeling Bai Hao's actions, Ouyang Yan didn't say anything, but her body still trembled involuntarily, and an alluring pink blush spread across her jade-like neck.

Bai Hao's heart was beating faster and faster.

But soon, as the clothes were pulled down to his right shoulder, a shocking black spot suddenly appeared in Bai Hao's eyes—the area that should have been as smooth as jade was now completely black, a sign of the spread of toxins!

The pills that Ouyang Yan had taken earlier only temporarily relieved her pain, but they did not suppress the toxins in her wounds.

As a result, her skin, which should have been as white as snow, has become quite unsightly. When the wound from the poisoned needle was exposed, it became red and swollen, and black poisoned blood began to flow out, which was quite shocking.

Seeing this horrific scene, Bai Hao couldn't help but gasp.

This poison is incredibly potent; it's terrifying.

"Hoo." Bai Hao took a deep breath, gripping the dagger tightly in his right hand, and reminded him, "Shall we begin?"

Ouyang Yan didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

"Hoo..." Bai Hao took another deep breath, calmed himself down, gripped the dagger firmly, and slowly aimed at the wound on Ouyang Yan's shoulder, making a gentle cut.

The dagger was very sharp; with just a light slash, a wound about one centimeter long was cut into Ouyang Yan's shoulder, and thick, black, poisonous blood immediately flowed out.

"Ugh..." Ouyang Yan let out a soft groan of pain.

Bai Hao quickly tore a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes to absorb the flowing poisonous blood.

This cut was enough. Bai Hao didn't make any more cuts, but instead gently pressed on Ouyang Yan's wound, causing more poisonous blood to flow out.

Ouyang Yan's brows were tightly furrowed, clearly indicating that she was in great pain.

But for now, he could only let her endure the pain. Bai Hao pressed on the wound again until the black, poisonous blood stopped flowing from Ouyang Yan's wound and the swelling subsided considerably. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and say:

"The toxic blood should have been mostly squeezed out. Do you feel any better?"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yan's long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes, saying, "I feel... a little better."

"That's fine then." With that, Bai Hao took out another Rejuvenation Pill, chewed it in his mouth, and then spat the chewed pill onto his hand, about to apply it to Ouyang Yan's wound.

"What are you doing?!" Ouyang Yan was startled when she saw Bai Hao's actions.

"I'll stop the bleeding from your wound. Even though I've drained the poisoned blood, if this wound isn't treated properly, it could easily become infected," Bai Hao said.

"Then what about this..." She looked at the pills in Bai Hao's hand, and the latter immediately understood.

"This is a Rejuvenation Pill. If you're going to apply it externally, you'll definitely have to break it up. Don't worry, you've already eaten it, so it won't be poisonous. Besides, I chewed it myself. If it were poisonous, I would have poisoned myself first." Bai Hao thought Ouyang Yan was worried that the Rejuvenation Pill might be poisonous.

After saying that, he directly applied the Rejuvenation Pill in his hand to Ouyang Yan's wound and spread it evenly.

Seriously, he's saving Ouyang Yan right now, not trying to do anything to her, so why are there so many questions?

Ouyang Yan was startled, but there was nothing she could do. Bai Hao had already finished all his actions and withdrawn his hand.

Her face flushed slightly as she muttered under her breath, "So you do know you chewed this yourself?"

The thought that Bai Hao had chewed the pill made Ouyang Yan feel ashamed.

"What did you say?" Bai Hao didn't hear what she said.

His question made Ouyang Yan blush even more, and she quickly said, "No... I meant to say thank you..."

As she spoke, she regained some strength in her left hand and quickly and silently pulled up her right shoulder, lowering her head and remaining silent.
