Yingxun and Zishu began their meal, while Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu went to check on Bai Zheng.

Bai Zheng's condition seemed even worse than before, with an aura of death emanating from him. Ye Xiruo conjured a ball of green true energy in her hand, enveloping Bai Zheng's entire body. Bai Zheng's cultivation level was far beyond Ye Xiruo's, so she couldn't directly use her spiritual power to probe his meridians, dantian, and other internal structures.

The only option was to envelop Bai Zheng's entire body with Qingyang True Qi, channeling some of it in from the outside in, to see if it would be of any use.

Bai Zheng's body was like a bottomless pit. Even after Ye Xi poured in half of his true energy, the situation did not improve at all, so he had no choice but to give up.

Just as Ye Xiruo was about to stop, Bai Zheng's body surged with a strange attraction, doubling the absorption of Ye Xiruo's Qingyang True Qi.

Judging by this, Ye Xiruo would soon be drained dry. Xiu Qiyu naturally noticed something was wrong, pulled Ye Xiruo's hand away, and looked coldly at Bai Zheng, who was lying motionless on the bed.

Whoever harms Xiaoyezi, dies.

"Brother Xiu Qi, please don't act rashly."

"Who was the one who acted impulsively?" Xiu Qiyu looked at Ye Xiruo. Who had acted rashly without understanding the situation? If it weren't for him being there with her today, Xiao Yezi would probably be in danger.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never do it again."

"When have you ever not said that, and when have you ever actually done it?" he roared.

"Brother Xiu Qi, please don't be angry. I promise this is the last time, and it will never happen again."

"You have absolutely no credibility." Xiu Qiyu turned her face away, refusing to look at Ye Xiruo's pitiful face, which had a hint of ingratiation.

"From now on, prioritize your own safety above all else, just for my sake."

"Okay, Brother Xiu Qi." Ye Xiruo tiptoed and gave Xiu Qiyu two quick kisses on the cheek.

"Don't think about anything right now, don't do anything. What you need most right now is to sit down and rest."

"Let me take another look at Bai Zheng."

“It’s already like this, he won’t die.” After saying that, Xiu Qiyu dragged Ye Xiru out without waiting for any reaction.

Even if Ye Xiruo wanted to protest again, Xiu Qiyu kissed her, leaving her speechless.

"You get some rest. I'll call you immediately if anything happens." Without waiting for a reply, Xiu Qiyu picked up Ye Xiruo, put her on the bed, and covered her with the blanket: "Be good."

Is this being treated like a child?

"Okay, I understand."

Before going to sleep, Ye Xiruo threw 100,000 blue crystals into her spatial storage: "System, these are spirit crystals, hurry up and absorb them to get to work."

After finishing this task, Ye Xiruo really lay down to rest.

These past few days, she had been working tirelessly and was extremely exhausted. In addition, Bai Zheng had just drained half of her true energy, so she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep immediately.

Xiu Qiyu stood guard at Ye Xiruo's door like a door god, never leaving her side. Whenever anyone came, he would say the same thing: "Master Ye is in seclusion and has no time."

Bai Qi hadn't seen Ye Xiruo for several days and wanted to visit her to inquire about his father's condition. However, before he could see Ye Xiruo, he was stopped by Xiu Qiyu standing outside the door.

"In that case, alright then. I'll come back after Master Ye comes out of seclusion."

"Take care, and we'll let you and Young Master Bai know if there's any news."

"In that case, I will trouble Master Ye to put in the effort."

Not long after Bai Qi left, Bai Feng also arrived. It was probably because Ye Xiruo had been quite idle these past few days that the eldest son of the Bai family was getting a little anxious.

Bai Feng was naturally blocked by Xiu Qiyu: "Master Ye Dan just treated the Bai family patriarch and almost had his internal energy drained. He is currently in seclusion to heal his injuries and it is inconvenient for him to see anyone." Since Bai Zheng Lei Ye Xi was injured, Xiu Qiyu's tone was naturally not very friendly.

Bai Feng had no doubt about Ye Xiruo's words and immediately expressed his apology and guilt, asking Xiu Qiyu to take good care of Ye Xiruo.

Not long after Bai Feng left, he sent people to deliver many precious healing pills and spirit crystals.

Xiu Qiyu readily accepted the gift and immediately set up three spirit-gathering arrays beside Ye Xiruo's bed to help her recover better.

At the same time, Xiu Qiyu informed Zishu and Yingxun about Bai Zheng's abnormality, and told them that they should be extra careful if they went to treat him.

Zishu was very worried about Ye Xiruo and wanted to go see her right away, but Xiu Qiyu stopped him. Xiao Yezi was resting and would come to tell them when she recovered.

The tribulation lightning that struck the four people lasted for half a day before dissipating. Only one person, due to poor health, could not withstand it and died directly under the tribulation lightning.

The remaining three all successfully advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage. Chi Yi was already very happy with this result.

If you really can't avoid it, then it's fate, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Ye Xiruo slept for two whole days before waking up. She pulled back the covers and stretched out a big yawn. She had slept so well that night.

After circulating her internal energy to sense her surroundings, Ye Xiruo found that her mental strength had almost recovered. She then took another Nourishing Spirit Pill, and after half an hour, having absorbed the medicinal power, she opened her eyes.

Her lost true essence had almost recovered by now, and when she woke up, she found that the concentration of spiritual energy in the room was many times higher than before.

Then I got out of bed and saw that there were actually three spirit-gathering arrays. No wonder.

"Brother Xiu Qi—" As soon as Ye Xiruo spoke, Xiu Qiyu pushed the door open and entered.

"What's wrong? Little Yezi, are you feeling better?"

"I'm alright? Brother Xiu Qi, don't worry, you're the one who set up these spirit-gathering arrays." He set up three in one go, he's really rich and powerful.

"These spirit crystals were sent by Bai Feng for your healing. I naturally made the most of them and set up a spirit-gathering array to help you recover as soon as possible."

"Bai Feng has put in a lot of effort."

"You've gone to so much trouble to remove the poison from Bai Zheng's body, so this little bit of spirit crystals is really nothing. And these tonics and healing elixirs, take a look, eat what you can."

Ye Xiruo glanced at them and thought, "As expected of the Bai family, they are incredibly wealthy. Most of these spiritual herbs are grade nine or ten, more than enough to heal injuries."

"Since it's useful, then eat it."

"Eating too much will cause internal heat."

"It's okay, I know how to cook mung bean soup now. Just drink two more bowls every day."

Pfft, when did Brother Xiu Qi start telling lame jokes? They're not funny at all.

"Brother Xiu Qi has taken good care of me these past two days. Now it's your turn to rest. Don't waste these three spirit-gathering arrays."

"what are you up to?"

"Stew these medicines up to nourish your body." Ye Xiruo flashed out, pushed open the door, and left.
