Without hesitation, Ye Buxiu drew the small white sword from his spatial storage and slashed at Zhu Ling's head.
Zhu Ling instantly felt as if her body had been taken away, and she was frozen in place beyond her control.
And flames ignited at the edge of her heart.
Her heart caught fire, and the toxins that were originally attached to the outside of her heart became the first line of defense against the flames.
In an instant, Zhu Ling's body suddenly experienced pain ten times greater than usual.
But the pain quickly subsided, and it was over before she could even cry out.
That feeling lasted only a moment.
"Alright, that's all!" Ye Buxiu said, looking at Zhu Ling who seemed to want to say something but couldn't.
"So fast?" Zhu Ling was incredulous.
In just a breath, the hallucinogenic toxins in his body were removed?
"Yes, get up and walk around, see if you can still sense anything unusual."
Zhu Ling got up as instructed and indeed no longer felt the stinging sensation.
It's really healed! It's amazing!
"Thank you so much for saving me, sir!" Zhu Ling bowed to Ye Buxiu in gratitude.
She was stunned as soon as she said it.
A wise man appeared in her dream yesterday, reminding her that a human with the bloodline of the former empress and a reclusive powerhouse would come to help the Firewind Clan rise to power!
Is this the great man the late king spoke of?
She looked closely, but couldn't see anything special about the boy.
Yet this ordinary person, with a simple swing of his sword, removed the poison that was tormenting him to death!
This is what a true reclusive master is like. He either doesn't make a move at all, or when he does, he causes the biggest uproar with the most ordinary gesture!
"Senior... Thank you for saving me."
Zhu Ling blushed and apologized for her previous doubts.
Yet another senior. Ye Buxiu was speechless. These people probably never knew that if it were a real hand-to-hand fight, they could crush this so-called senior into dust with a single slap.
"Yes, be careful in future battles. This kind of illusion poison is specifically designed to counter you. Although your Phoenix Blood Essence is yang in nature, it cannot suppress this kind of poison."
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will remember it."
Zhu Ling's face grew increasingly red as she spoke.
Your face is as red as a teapot!
While Ye Buxiu was speechless, Zhu Ling suddenly spoke.
"Senior, could you please protect me?"
"Um... okay."
Ye Buxiu couldn't figure out what she was up to, but he agreed anyway.
Zhu Ling sat cross-legged, and a bright light suddenly emanated from her.
Is this the beginning of an awakening?
Sensing something amiss, Ye Buxiu began to observe Zhu Ling's actions even more closely.
But soon a large amount of light completely enveloped her, and Ye Buxiu could no longer catch a glimpse of her.
"System, could you explain this to me?"
[You used Burning Heart to burn away the toxicity of the Illusion Toxin. Without the toxin, the Illusion Toxin mutated and abnormally combined with the Phoenix Blood Essence attached to Zhu Ling, producing a super-powerful catalyst that caused the Phoenix Blood Essence within her to surge wildly. She is now attempting to awaken her bloodline.]
"Wow, I didn't expect it could mutate. If I inject each of them with hallucinogenic toxin and then burn them all at once, wouldn't that awaken their bloodlines?"
[Theoretically feasible, but impractical. The success rate of this beneficial hallucinogenic toxin mutation is one in ten million. Without ensuring whether the mutation will be beneficial, there is a high possibility that the mutation will trigger the body's fundamental energy, leading to death by explosion!]
“Alright,” Ye Buxiu said, not pressuring the matter.
He sat to the side, observing Zhu Ling's changes.
As the bright light faded, a completely naked girl appeared before him.
Holy crap! Naked!
Ye Buxiu watched as the stunning beauty before him, with skin as white as snow and a figure as slender as a willow, slowly rose from the light.
Oh no, my nose is going to bleed!
Ye Buxiu took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
"Restrain yourself! Restrain yourself!"
"Senior!" Zhu Ling saw Ye Buxiu the moment she woke up and jumped over in surprise.
It can be said that not only was her life given to her by Ye Buxiu, but her body, which was reborn after being weakened by the poison, was also a gift from him!
In that instant, she understood everything.
The Fire Phoenix appeared in her dream beforehand to warn her that Lord Fire Phoenix had found a new backer for the Fire Wind Clan.
This powerful backer is naturally Ye Buxiu, who is not only strong but also gentle in nature.
Furthermore, she arranged for her bloodline descendants to follow Ye Buxiu, which is surely an implication that she should submit the Firewind Clan to Ye Buxiu.
From now on, they will be under Ye Buxiu's command. With such a top-tier leader present, why would they fear invasion from other powerful clans?
The same applies to the opportunities Ye Buxiu presented to her.
He could have easily walked away after being provoked by his subordinates, but the boss tolerated it.
He was not angry when faced with my unreasonable questioning. In the end, when he helped me remove the hallucinogenic toxin, he could have removed it from my heart.
But he chose to refine it, helping me successfully absorb the product of the Illusion Toxin Refining and successfully awaken the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix!
All of this seems so casual, yet so closely connected. The senior is indeed a senior; he must have planned all of this himself!
I'm definitely going to follow this reclusive master!
She knelt on one knee, "Thank you for the opportunity you have given me, senior! I will definitely do my best to manage the Firewind Clan and serve you well."
"Uh," Ye Buxiu covered his face, "put your clothes on first."
