Looking at the pained Liu Lingxian, Tuoba San felt a pang of sympathy, but still said helplessly.
"Father, he can't be saved..."
Hearing my eldest son's words, I was stunned for a moment, thinking to myself, "She's one of the female leads, just like that? This doesn't fit the plot..."
"Son, think carefully, is there any antidote you haven't thought of?"
I asked my eldest son in a suggestive tone, reminding him not to be too obvious, lest he give himself away…
"Father, I truly am powerless, unless someone is willing to absorb the poison into his own body..."
Tuoba San proposed an impossible method…
Hearing about this method of detoxification, I opened my mouth, unsure of what to say…
I know very well that the best course of action right now is for the chosen one to absorb the poison into himself…
This way, the female lead can be saved. According to the normal plot, after being saved by Tuoba San at the risk of his life, Liu Lingxian will be even more devoted to him, and the two will live happily ever after...
The chosen ones are those who struggle and waver between life and death, but each brush with death brings them a great opportunity, though they will suffer some hardship along the way…
"Son, what can we do? We can't just stand by and watch Xian'er die, can we?"
I could only subtly remind him that it was time for him to step up...
"There's nothing I can do. This toxin is extremely potent. Many Saint-level cultivators have been poisoned to death, their bodies never even left behind. I'm only an Emperor-level cultivator; if I come into contact with this toxin, I'll probably die an even more gruesome death..."
Tuoba San then stated his deduction...
"If we don't find a way soon, Xian'er will really die..."
I said somewhat anxiously…
"Let me do it..."
Just then, a sudden voice rang out. I instinctively turned around and saw Bai Xiwen looking haggard…
What are you doing here?
I asked instinctively, "This simp actually followed me here; I didn't expect that..."
"I...I've been expelled from the sect..."
As Bai Xiwen spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Liu Lingxian's face, his eyes filled with love and reluctance...
Countless guesses flashed through my mind, and finally I tentatively asked...
"Is it related to Xian'er?"
A flicker of pain crossed Bai Xiwen's eyes, but he still nodded and said...
"Because I broke the seal without permission and let my junior sister go..."
Is it worth it?
I looked at him and asked seriously…
Bai Xiwen didn't speak, but gave a bitter smile, then looked at Liu Lingxian before speaking.
"This is destined to be a one-sided love that ends in vain. Even without your son Tuoba San, I have four more outstanding senior brothers behind me. There's no way it's my turn to be with a junior sister, a good-for-nothing like me..."
Looking at Bai Xiwen, I began to understand his thoughts: he wanted to use his own life to plant his image in Liu Lingxian's heart...
This guy is ruthless...
"Um…"
A soft groan startled the three of us awake. Liu Lingxian was in grave danger; we couldn't delay any longer…
"There's no time; we need to hurry to help her detoxify..."
Tuoba San urged...
Without any hesitation, Bai Xiwen sat down directly in front of Liu Lingxian and took her hand in his…
This left Bai Xiwen somewhat stunned; it was the first time he had ever held Liu Lingxian's hand...
A bitter smile finally appeared on his lips. Even knowing that doing this would kill him, he was willing...
Looking at him, I couldn't help but shake my head, unable to comprehend this kind of sycophantic mentality...
I could see a hint of satisfaction in his bitter smile…
Perhaps, that's enough for him. Love isn't necessarily about possession. For some people, the mere existence of that love is enough to make them content...
Bai Xiwen pressed his palm against Liu Lingxian's palm, allowing him to channel his power into Liu Lingxian's body. Since their cultivation methods were identical, they quickly established a connection…
The black toxins surged into Bai Xiwen's body like a raging river...
The blackness on Liu Lingxian's face gradually faded, restoring her original rosy complexion...
At that moment, the power of the Blood Stone surged entirely into Liu Lingxian's body. The pure bloodline power improved her bloodline, causing her aura to continuously grow stronger...
After the last trace of poison entered Bai Xiwen's body, he released Liu Lingxian's hand, even though he was very reluctant...
Yet he had no choice but to let go. He couldn't control the toxins from invading his body; to prevent them from returning to Liu Lingxian's body, he was using all his power to suppress their backflow…
Just as he released Liu Lingxian's hand, he could no longer resist the corrosive effects of the poison. His entire body turned black at a visible speed and quickly withered away until it turned into a pool of black blood, as if Bai Xiwen had never existed at all...
"Son, did you write it all down?"
I looked at my eldest son and asked, "Although Bai Xiwen is dead, what he did cannot be forgotten. When Liu Lingxian wakes up, we will definitely tell her..."
"Okay, all written down..."
Tuoba nodded and said…
I glanced at him. This time, he was supposed to absorb the toxin, but Bai Xiwen did it instead. I wonder what kind of opportunity this toxin carried...
"Son, have you ever considered that danger can also represent opportunity? This poison can indeed kill, but could there be some kind of opportunity within it?"
I was somewhat unwilling to let this opportunity go to waste. So much time had passed, and all I had gained was a Saint-level longsword and a little Saint Power when I killed Murong Chui. Even with a tenfold return, it was only ten Saint Power points...
Therefore, it is necessary to let the son take risks; the more holy power one has, the safer one will be...
Upon hearing my words, Tuoba San's eyes suddenly flickered. Everyone was focused on the red-robed expert and the Blood Explosion Stone, and no one noticed that both of them came from the crater. What exactly was inside the volcano?
"Haha... Father, you are truly my lucky star..."
Tuoba San said excitedly, he had decided that he had to go into the crater to investigate, perhaps a great opportunity was hidden there...
"uh-huh…"
A woman's soft moan drifted over, a sound that didn't seem like pain, but rather like longing...
My mind went blank. That voice was so familiar; I'd heard it so many times from the throats of Shi Miaomiao and the other women…
But Tuoba San didn't know what the sound was. He looked at Liu Lingxian, who was flushed all over as if she were extremely hot, and asked in confusion.
"Father, what's wrong with her? Is she in pain?"
Faced with this question, I didn't know how to answer for a moment. I couldn't exactly give him a physiology lesson on the spot, could I?
"She needs to cool off now, I'll take her back to the palace..."
As I was saying this, I was about to take Liu Lingxian to the newly built palace…
