Lei Yucheng stood aside with a helpless smile on his face. "Boss Bai, you don't know this, but while the Cleansing Heart Seal does have the effect of resisting evil spirits and blood energy, it cannot completely isolate them. No matter who goes in, if they stay for a long time, they will be at risk of being infected by the blood energy!"

He paused, glanced at the two exhausted guards, and lowered his voice:

"Moreover, it's not that our clansmen are unwilling to help. Given my sister's status, it wouldn't be unreasonable for even our great-uncle to personally lend a hand. However... once a high-level demon is corrupted by blood energy, the harm and blow it will bring to the clan will be devastating!"

"Even if these two sixth-realm gatekeepers are unfortunately infected, suppressing them wouldn't be too difficult. But if it's a Spirit Void Realm or even a Void Cave Realm demon that goes in... if something goes wrong, the price to pay for suppressing them would be too high!"

"..."

Bai Xiaoruo opened her mouth, but was speechless.

As someone who has personally experienced the evil spirit's blood energy, she naturally knows how terrifying it is.

If the goal is to save just one person while risking the infection of many more powerful individuals, the Moon Devourer Clan cannot afford such a price.

It's not about sentimentality, but about weighing the harsh realities of life.

The little fox, hands clasped behind its back, glared at Lei Yucheng and asked, "So what do we do now? Should we still treat it or not?"

Lei Yucheng scratched the white hair in frustration, then tentatively looked at Shen Yunhao:

"If only there were a way to completely block the erosion of blood energy... then we could send out clansmen with higher cultivation levels to assist you, sir..."

His meaning was quite clear.

Since Shen Yunhao is able to expel evil spirits and blood energy, he should naturally have more advanced means of resistance. If this method could be used on their people, allowing them to suppress the evil spirits in the prison cell for a long time, things would be much easier.

Shen Yunhao naturally understood the hidden meaning in his words.

Beneath the gauze curtain, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"No need for that! Next time, let me and Zhuzhu go in, and all of you can wait outside. That way, we won't have to worry about blood infection."

"..."

Lei Yucheng choked.

How could a stranger of unknown origin, who was unwilling to even reveal his true face, be allowed to enter the important place where the clan's princess was being held, accompanied only by a maid?

this……

"how?"

Shen Yunhao glanced at him, his tone even more sarcastic:

"You're worried we'll harm your young lady? Hmph! Let's just drag this out then! Anyway, it's not me who's in a hurry."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out along the tunnel he had come from, without offering any further explanation.

Bai Xiaoruo was puzzled by what she saw... Why was Shen Yunhao in such a bad mood today?

But she still turned her anger towards Lei Yucheng, saying irritably, "We came here out of kindness to save people, and if this is your attitude, always on guard, then what's the point of us treating them? We'll just leave! We won't bother you anymore!"

As she spoke, she made a gesture as if to turn and leave.

"No! Boss! Don't go!"

Lei Yucheng panicked and quickly stepped forward to stop Bai Xiaoruo, his face plastered with a fawning smile:

"It's my fault for being so clumsy with words! You brought this man here, Boss, how could we not trust him? We were just a little hesitant because we were worried about his safety... Since you're not afraid of blood and have someone protecting you, we're absolutely at ease! Absolutely at ease!"

Bai Xiaoruo glanced at him and snorted:

"Really? You can make that decision?"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Lei Yucheng patted his chest. "I'll explain it to my great-uncle! Leave this to me!"

"snort!"

The little fox's expression softened slightly. "You'd better cooperate and show some sincerity, otherwise... I won't bother with this mess you've made!"

After saying that, she waved her hand, ignoring Lei Yucheng, and turned to chase after Shen Yunhao.

Lei Yucheng craned his neck behind her and shouted:

"Boss! I've already sent someone to arrange guest rooms for you! You...you have to help me persuade the gentleman! Please!"

Only after Bai Xiaoruo's figure completely disappeared around the corner of the tunnel did Lei Yucheng let out a long sigh and turn to look at the two guards whose faces were still pale.

Are you alright?

"Thank you for your concern, young master. We are fine and will be alright after a short rest."

Lei Yucheng nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"By the way... how exactly did that person exorcise the evil spirits and blood energy? Did you see it clearly from inside?"

The two exchanged a glance, and strange expressions appeared on their faces simultaneously.

After a long silence, one of them finally spoke hesitantly in an extremely uncertain tone:

"It seems to be... acupuncture..."

"???"

...

The guest rooms arranged for Shen Yunhao and his group by the Moon Devouring Clan were, unsurprisingly, domed, yurt-like structures.

However, this one is obviously much more luxurious.

The tent was spacious inside, about five zhang in diameter. The ground was covered with a thick, snow-white animal wool carpet that was soft and silent underfoot. Around it were low tables, soft couches, bookshelves and other furniture, all made of fine wood. On the low tables there was even a set of white jade tea set and several plates of exquisite snacks.

The entire space evokes a contradictory feeling of wildness mixed with luxury.

It's as if the refinement of civilization has been forcibly crammed into a primitive framework, which ironically creates a unique aesthetic taste belonging to the demon race.

Not long after Shen Yunhao sat down on the soft couch, the tent flap was lifted.

Bai Xiaoruo strode in and looked at Shen Yunhao, "Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore, he promised you! Next time, only you and Zhuzhu will go in for treatment, everyone else can wait outside!"
