Through his thin clothes, Mo Xuan could feel that the fire in his chest was still burning, but it was temporarily suppressed by the Taiyin spider silk.
"Taiyin Spring."
Mo Xuan heard from the elders of the clan that there was a Taiyin Spring in the secret realm, which was a place where Yin energy gathered and could suppress heart inflammation.
Her pure essence had been destroyed, and the pure yin energy in her body was too thin after all.
Only by finding Taiyin Spring can the person in his arms be saved.
Mo Xuan held Li Lingge and flew in the air, scanning the entire secret realm.
Although she knew about Taiyin Spring, she didn't know where the spring was.
The next moment, the wind from the top of the mountain blew towards her with a biting chill, which cleared her confused mind.
The scene before her made her freeze in place. In the center of the circular pass, a spring only about ten feet wide lay quietly.
The surface of the water was a strange silver-blue color, without a single ripple, as if it were a piece of solidified metal.
There is no grass around the spring, and even the rocks are covered with a layer of crystal frost.
What's even more bizarre is that there is ice-crystal mist floating above the water. The mist condenses into various forms, sometimes like blooming lotus flowers, and sometimes like kneeling human figures.
"Taiyin Spring?"
The spiritual spring formed by the liquefied pure yin energy here can detoxify the most yang poison in the world.
She staggered towards the spring, but was forced to stop when she was three meters away. The air in front was so cold that breathing stung her lungs.
Mo Xuan looked down at Li Lingge in his arms. His condition was worse than before, with blood foam with sparks constantly flowing out of the corners of his mouth.
"It seems there is no choice."
Mo Xuan smiled bitterly and gently placed Li Lingge on a relatively flat rock.
She untied her belt with trembling fingers, and the moment her robe slipped off, the cold air on the top of the mountain immediately caused goose bumps on her skin.
When her bare feet stepped on the edge of the spring, she let out a scream that was not human, caused by unprecedented pain.
The moment the Taiyin water touches the skin, it is like millions of red-hot steel needles piercing into the body at the same time, and then immediately freezing into the flesh and blood.
Her toes turned visibly purple, and spiderweb-like ice cracks appeared on the surface.
"ah--"
Mo Xuan knelt in the shallow water, the spring water reaching her waist.
The extreme cold created an illusion of burning. She looked down and saw that the skin on her abdomen was cracking, and the light green blood condensed into ice beads as soon as it seeped out.
What’s even more terrifying is that the cold is spreading along the meridians to the heart, and every heartbeat feels like being pierced by an ice cone.
But she did not retreat. Instead, she turned and stretched out her hand toward the shore: "Come, come."
She held Li Lingge's head and kissed him sideways.
At this moment, she absorbed the Taiyin water from the Taiyin Spring, and the pure Yin energy was dozens of times stronger than before.
This kiss had the smell of blood and the sting of ice crystals, and was not romantic at all.
This pure yin energy entered Li Lingge's body, and the effect was immediate.
Li Lingge's throat rolled, and the heart inflammation patterns on his body dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Not enough, not enough."
Mo Xuan's consciousness began to blur, but he still stubbornly did not leave the spring.
After a cup of tea, Mo Xuan could no longer see what was in front of him and fell forward.
In her last consciousness, she felt herself falling into a warm embrace. Unbeknownst to her, Li Lingge had half opened his eyes and instinctively wrapped his arms around her.
Mo Xuan wanted to say something, but his tongue was frozen.
…
Warmth, this was the first feeling Mo Xuan had when he regained consciousness.
She blinked in confusion and found her face pressed against warm skin.
After focusing her vision, she recognized that it was Li Lingge's neck. She was curled up in his arms in an extremely intimate posture, and his arms were still around her.
What was even more shocking was that both of them were in the Taiyin Spring, but she only felt a slight chill, no longer a biting sensation.
Mo Xuan looked up suddenly and met Li Lingge's deep eyes.
He had woken up, and some color had returned to his pale face. He was now looking at her with an indescribable look.
The tips of their noses almost touched, their breaths blending together.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment. Although this was not the first time, it was the first time since her identity was exposed.
"you!"
Mo Xuan tilted her head back as if she had been electrocuted, but it pulled on her frostbitten skin, causing her to gasp in pain.
The absurd posture of the two at this moment made Mo Xuan's blood rush to his cheeks.
"Don't get me wrong!" She said hoarsely, frantically grabbing scattered clothes to cover her body. "I just wanted to save you. No, I saved you just for our people."
Li Lingge watched her in a flurry of activity, and suddenly reached out to brush away a piece of ice crystal from the end of her hair.
This action made Mo Xuan completely frozen.
"I know you have too much Yin energy remaining in your body, and I only wanted to save you." His voice was soft, but remarkably clear. "We have settled our grievances."
Yin and Yang complement each other, and at this moment, she could only feel the warmth coming from Li Lingge's body.
Mo Xuan was stunned. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
The air between the two seemed to freeze, leaving only the slight surging sound of the Taiyin Spring.
At this moment, a deafening roar came from afar, and the entire mountain shook.
Mo Xuan looked up and saw that the green light column in the center of the secret realm suddenly exploded and rushed straight into the sky, tearing a huge crack in the gray sky.
"The Chaos Blue Lotus is about to fully bloom."
Li Lingge stood up with difficulty and reached out to pull Mo Xuan up.
Only then did Mo Xuan notice that the crack in the sky was slowly expanding, and through the crack he could see the outside world, which was the night sky of Wanzhu Valley.
"We have to get to the center before they do."
Li Lingge picked up the Xuanyuan Sword. He turned to Mo Xuan, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he just said it simply.
"Can you walk?"
Mo Xuan did not answer immediately. She looked down at her bruised body, then looked at Li Lingge, who was also covered in bruises.
Something more complex than hatred and more subtle than gratitude surged in my chest.
"able."
