The next morning, Anxia woke up under Jiang Ruan's watchful gaze.

Although her face was still a little pale when she woke up, there was a faint blush on it.

"You're finally awake, Xiaxia! You scared me to death!" Jiang Ruan hugged her tightly, her heart filled with a feeling of having found something she had lost.

"Ruan Ruan, I'm sorry, I made you worry again. I'm fine, you saved me again." An Xia's tone was calm, and there was no ripple in her eyes.

"It's good that you're awake. Those two people have been locked up. Tell me, what exactly happened, and how Hua Yi shot you."

She didn't believe what others said; she only believed what Anxia said.

"They... heh, it doesn't matter anymore. Whether they're dead or injured, I feel like throwing up just looking at them. I don't like him anymore, Ruan Ruan. I, An Xia, have my own pride. I... from today onwards, I'll be myself and I don't like him anymore."

"Okay, if you don't like it, you don't like it. We'll just be ourselves."

Jiang Ruan didn't say anything; it seemed that Hua Yi had truly broken her heart.

"Ruan Ruan, you're here. How is Qinglong? Is she injured? And what about the original inhabitants of Qinglonggang? Are they all alright? I was injured early, so I don't know any of this."

Anxia suddenly remembered something and became somewhat anxious.

"It's alright, everything's alright!"

Jiang Ruan thought about how Zai Zai kept reporting the situation on Qinglong's side. After Molong was paralyzed, his movements became much slower, and Qinglong was playing around with him.

Therefore, the situation over there is very stable, and there is absolutely no need to worry. As for the people here, apart from some minor injuries, they have not suffered any major harm.

"That's good, that's good... Pfft!"

Before Anxia could finish speaking, she spat out a mouthful of blood, which was blackish in color and steaming on the ground, clearly indicating that she had been poisoned.

"Xiaxia!"

Jiang Ruan quickly grabbed her hand and began the healing spell.

In just two seconds, she detected "Xiao Poison," a legendary poison that can drive people mad, insane, and ultimately to death.

"Zhang Yang, come quick." Zhang Yang is a dual-elemental ability user, one of which is poison-based ability, so he knows more about it.

Zhang Yang quickly ran over and, at Jiang Ruan's prompting, checked An Xia's arms and calves.

The strange thing about this poison is that it only appears in these two places, turning the skin in those areas charred and unsightly.

As expected... it's Xiao Poison!

“I am a poison-type ability user. I know a little about this poison, but I don’t know much about how to treat it. Perhaps we can consider fighting poison with poison.”

Zhang Yang pondered for a few seconds and felt that the methods that had been used throughout history were not without reason. The most important thing was that this demonic poison seemed to have no cure.

"No, Xiaxia has just recovered from her serious injuries and her body is at its weakest. We can't use such a forceful method directly; her body definitely can't handle it."

Zhang Yang recalled An Xia's gruesome state, covered in blood. Her face was pale yet slightly rosy; with such a frail body, he feared she truly wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"Then... what should we do? If we don't treat her, the poison will probably fully manifest within a week, and by then, it will be too late."

Jiang Ruan understood, but right now, the best solution was the spiritual spring in her own space.

However, it was sealed after Gu An went in last time. She tried to open it, but couldn't. She could only wait until Gu An woke up.

"What's wrong? You both look so serious!" Qingfeng, who had been taking a nap, came over when he heard the two of them talking in hushed tones, seemingly mentioning An Xia.

Zhang Yang naturally didn't hide it from him.

"Damn, that's too much. It must be those two. Who else could it be? I'm going to drag them out right now. This is too much."

Qingfeng felt his blood freezing cold, and his mind was filled with images of those two people wantonly hurting Anxia.

So, he moved his fingers and brought over the cages where Hua Yi and Qiu Wan were imprisoned.

"What? You've thought it through and want to let us go?" Qiu Wan sneered, looking at the group of people gathered together, secretly pleased.

"Bullshit! Hand over the antidote now, or I'll kill you right now!" Qingfeng gripped the cage handle, his voice a mixture of questioning and anger.

"Antidote? What antidote? I don't understand what you're saying." Qiu Wan's eyes darted around, her emotions were off, and she asked in confusion.

"Still putting on airs with me. No wonder you were assassins. You have such potent poisons and you even used them on An Xia. I really admire you."

Zhang Yang also stood up, snorted coldly, and joined Qingfeng in making sarcastic remarks.

"Wait, what poison are you talking about? What poison? Why is it so poisonous, and why did it hurt An Xia?"

Hua Yi, who had been staring blankly at a spot while leaning against the cage, noticed something amiss in their argument and asked a question.

He felt like he had missed something.

"Xiao Poison, what, you don't know about it? You're the only one who knows about this kind of poison, right? Hua Yi, An Xia likes you so much, how could you treat her like this? Do you know that she's really going to die?"

Qingfeng felt a sense of powerlessness deep inside. He thought Huayi should be a good person, but the facts were right there, and he was unwilling to believe it, but he had no choice but to believe it.

"What?" Hua Yi sat up abruptly, her height causing her to hit the top of the cage with a loud thud.

But he had no time to care about his own pain; he just stared at Qiu Wan in shock and disbelief.

Because he had obtained the demon poison from a friend, and later gave it to Qiu Wan in the final part.

Only she has it.

"Qiu Wan, it's you...it was you! Why did you hurt her? She had no grudge against you. Why did you hurt her? Do you even know what she was like..."

Hua Yi couldn't continue. What could he say? That An Xia felt sorry for her situation, had accepted her existence, and considered her a friend?

Looking back now, wasn't it just a joke?

“Hua Yi, you are my subordinate. I trusted you, which is why I agreed to let Xia Xia be with you. But you betrayed her, hurt her, and now you want to kill her. I cannot forgive you, so I will not let you go.”

As Jiang Ruan listened, she understood a bit more. It didn't matter how Qiu Wan obtained the Xiao poison from Hua Yi.

The only known poison in the world is currently inside Xiaxia's body; that's a fact.

Therefore, both of them must pay the price for their actions.

"You...you want to kill me? Do you know how important I am to the people of Qinglonggang? If you kill me, you will...uh!"

Qiu Wan was killed by Jiang Ruan, who cleaved the cage open with one palm and severed her neck with another. Her death was swift and ruthless, and it was within expectations.

When Jiang Ruan reached out to Hua Yi, An Xia woke up and stopped her, "Ruan Ruan, no, don't kill him, please don't..."

Because of his emotional outburst, he almost fell off the bed that Jiang Ruan had prepared, which startled Jiang Ruan so much that she quickly ran over to him.
