The layers upon layers of sharp, stabbing pain made Su Xuening experience what it meant to be worse than dead.
She had never known that such pain existed in the world, even more painful than the blows inflicted on her by the palace servants before her death in her previous life.
The pain from this kind of acupuncture needle entering the meridians is incomparable to the pain of any kind of external injury.
Fortunately, Youyi stopped inserting needles after the eighth one. He sealed the meridians connected to the mother's body with the eight needles in sequence to ensure that the Love Flower Gu could not penetrate the child. Only then was the insertion of the needles into the body considered successful.
"That's good, very successful." As You Yi finished speaking, Su Xuening's body went limp and she slid directly into the icy pool.
Youyi was startled and quickly tried to pull her out, but Pei Luo stopped him and looked at the cold pool with heartache, saying, "Let her stay in the cold pool for a while. This cold pool has analgesic effects. She must be in a lot of pain."
You know your own apprentice best.
Although the girl didn't utter a sound, she was trembling with pain just now. They could all imagine the pain of needles piercing her meridians.
This girl has really suffered a lot. Who is this damned man from the cold pool? Don't let him find him. When he does, I'll give him a good beating.
Youyi looked at Hantan with admiration: "I have to say, this girl is really good at enduring pain. She didn't utter a sound even though it hurt so much from the silver needles!"
This is pain that most men couldn't bear, but this girl endured it without uttering a sound. She truly is the strongest girl he has ever met.
Such a resilient girl should be able to withstand the torment of this love flower curse. I hope she can be successfully cured and give birth smoothly.
The icy cold water of the pool now felt unusually refreshing to Su Xuening, and even the stinging pain in her meridians that had just made her feel like her soul was leaving her body had been greatly relieved.
She was in so much pain that she just wanted to stay in this cold pool forever.
Su Xuening opened her arms and let herself sink to the bottom of the icy pool.
With her eyes closed, Su Xuening recalled the suffocating feeling of the icy, bone-chilling water engulfing her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, which reminded her of her madness with that man at the bottom of that cold pool.
He was so strong, and when she was with him, she was as weak as a drop of water in this cold pool, having no autonomy other than clinging to him.
Although he was inexperienced, his passion was frightening.
Thinking of the pain and pleasure that strange man had brought her, the love flower gu within Su Xuening's body instantly surged.
With the meridians connecting the mother body sealed, the Love Flower Gu had nowhere to go and could only churn wildly inside Su Xuening's body.
At this moment, Su Xuening finally experienced the pain and torment of the Love Flower Gu truly taking effect.
Wave after wave of magma surged from within her body. If it weren't for the icy, bone-chilling water of the pool suppressing it, she felt she might have been burned to death by the volcanic lava.
The extreme heat inside her body and the extreme cold outside her body, this repeated torment, made Su Xuening think of that man again.
He must have been suppressing the Love Flower Gu at the bottom of this icy pool. He endured such torment without seeking any woman; he was surely a very restrained person. Yet, he unexpectedly encountered her here. Perhaps he truly is a Buddhist disciple; otherwise, why would he endure such suffering instead of seeking a woman?
Actually, you can't blame this man. Whether in his past life or this life, he never intended to provoke her. On the contrary, it was she, Wu Chuang, who stumbled upon this place and formed this kind of fate with him.
It's hard to say whether he harmed her or saved her. Or perhaps she saved him or harmed him.
My uncle is right, their fate is indeed wonderful!
Because of Xuan Yuanzhan, and because she had married into the Holy King's Mansion, she originally didn't want to have anything to do with this man anymore. But now it seemed she had no choice but to go find him. She hoped that God would bless her so that she could find him as soon as possible.
Su Xuening didn't know how long she had been at the bottom of the cold pool. She only felt the volcano inside her erupting uncontrollably, then slowly subsiding and dissipating until only a few specks remained. Only then did Su Xuening swim up from the bottom of the pool.
Pei Luo and You Yi together pulled Su Xuening ashore.
Seeing her pale face and soaked clothes, Pei Luo felt very sorry for her and immediately used his internal energy to dry her clothes.
Because of the pain she had just experienced and the recent relief from the Love Flower Gu, Su Xuening was too weak to even stand up.
Pei Luo carried her back on his back.
Su Xuening lay weakly on Pei Luo's back, feeling that her master's back was as broad and strong as her father's back when she was a child.
Pei Luo wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter a single word. Instead, tears blurred his vision.
Seeing this girl suffer like this, he really wanted to kill that man.
After a whole afternoon of running around, the three of them returned to the bamboo forest via a side path, and it was already dark.
"Master, sister."
When Su Yun'an returned after practicing her horse stance, she was so anxious that she almost cried because she couldn't find anyone. But when she saw them coming back, she immediately ran over.
"What's wrong with my sister?" Su Yun'an asked worriedly as Pei Luo carried Su Xuening back.
Pei Luo placed Su Xuening on the stone bench in front of the bamboo house.
"It's nothing, we just went up the mountain to gather herbs and twisted my ankle." Su Xuening didn't want Su Yun'an to worry, so she made up a casual excuse.
"Sister is injured, let me see." Hearing that Su Xuening twisted her ankle, Su Yun'an became even more worried and went to check on Su Xuening's foot.
"It's really nothing."
Su Xuening didn't twist her ankle at all; how could she let Su Yun'an see it?
Pei Luo raised his hand and tapped Su Yun'an on the head: "With my medical skills, you don't need to worry that I can't heal your senior sister's foot. Her foot was healed long ago."
Pei Luo then looked at Su Xuening and said, "You're just getting better. Why don't you stay here for the night before going back?"
He was worried about her going back like this.
Su Xuening looked outside and saw that it was getting late: "When I came out, I said I would take Yun'an back. If I didn't go back, Xuan Yuanzhan and the Empress Dowager would worry. I'm much better now, I'm fine."
Su Xuening rubbed Su Yun'an's head again: "Sister is going back now. You must practice martial arts well and listen to Master and Uncle. Sister will come to see you in a few days."
"Um."
Su Yun'an obediently agreed, then looked at her foot with concern: "Sister, you hurt your foot, are you really okay?"
"It's alright, you must always trust your master's medical skills. It's not in pain anymore." Su Xuening said calmly, and even got up and took a few steps to show Su Yun'an: "It's really alright."
Su Xuening then looked at Pei Luo and You Yi: "Thank you for your help today, Master and Uncle. I will come to visit you again another day."
"Go ahead." Seeing that she was determined to go back, Pei Luo didn't try to stop her.
Youyi looked at Su Xuening and reminded her, "You... be careful in the future. Don't hurt yourself, or rather, don't put yourself under any external force." Otherwise, the eight silver needles in her body would cause her unbearable pain.
Because Su Yun'an was present, Youyi didn't say the second half of the sentence.
