Chapter 607: Deep Love of One's Intended

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ever since Shui QianRou came to Heavenly Star Continent, her shock never seemed to have faded. For someone who was used to looking down on people in disdain, with a proud and arrogant attitude, this period of time was nothing less than a nightmare. She had put forth her heart and soul in order to fight for her family, even to the point of forsaking her own personal feelings, but all she received in exchange was the merciless abandonment of her family, even to the point of falling into their despicable traps. This caused her insistence towards her family to finally slacken.

Furthermore, with someone like Yu BingYan as a clear cut example for her, Shui QianRou's stand was even more swayed. Every time when she saw how Yu BingYan would unhesitatingly declare her love for Ling Tian, that smitten expression she had would always cause Shui QianRou to feel envious for her. Both of them were similar women from aristocratic families, and they were even supposed to be opponents for the generational battle, so why was it that Yu BingYan could chase after her own happiness but not herself?

To a woman, was power and influence really that important? The crucial point was still having a partner who could understand her properly to accompany her for the rest of her life. If she could not be together with the one she loved, then even if she climbed to the highest peak of the world, what use was it? Even if she could make the Shui Family into the world's top aristocratic family, where would be the bliss and joy in that?

As such, Shui QianRou was at a loss for what to do now. However, while she was perplexed, Ling Tian had actually instructed the Ling Family to create opportunities for her, slowly step by step fulfilling her aspirations in the Shui Family. This made Shui QianRou feel that the reason why Ling Tian was doing all of this was to allow her to compensate for the Shui Family. This filled her with much bliss, but deep inside her heart, she knew that once the matter in Heavenly Star came to an end, Ling Tian would not stop his ambitions of expansion no matter who was the person persuading him. At that time, she should return to Heavenly Star to obtain her birthright. Only then could she actually help the one she loved.

The constraints of time, in contrast, allowed Shui QianRou to make the final choice to chase after her own happiness. She was no longer ever fearful and nervous, especially towards the last few days of brutal deaths and murder. Ling Tian and Shui QianRou all were severely wounded, which made her feel that life was too precious and short. At any time, a person could just close their eyes forever, and such a frightening realization was a factor that made her choose to walk down her own path.

Shui QianRou did not wish to still keep all the matters in her heart even when she died, without anyone knowing or hearing of it. This was especially in regards to letting Ling Tian know that she was attracted to him. If she did not tell him anything before she died, then that would be a regret she would carry to her grave.

Even if she could only obtain a year or even a day of bliss, that was enough. This was the mentality Shui QianRou had currently.

As such, she revealed all that was inside her heart towards Ling Tian today without the slightest hesitation. Ling Tian's response was considered to be within her expectations, yet not at the same time, because she herself was aware that Ling Tian was not totally callous about her. At least, he thought of her in a positive light. This was also another driving factor giving her the courage to confess her feelings.

While Ling Tian's reply was vague, Shui QianRou already understood what he was trying to imply.

At this point, she wanted to cry, to cry out in blissful happiness.

"In the near future, when the matters here have calmed down, you should also return to Heavenly Wind Continent to start the operations. Just passively countering their every move cannot go on forever, as your situation will get worse. If you wish to win, then you need to take the initiative. Only then will you stand the chance of overthrowing them. If those at the sides manage to score some good results during the generational battle, then there will not be any hope left for you to reverse the situation." Ling Tian let out an indifferent smile as he walked away, seeming to randomly drop this remark.

Shui QianRou felt her heart sink as a sour feeling filled her nose. Has it finally come to this?

To leave Heavenly Star Continent, to leave this place where she could sleep in peace every night….. to return to that nightmare of a place where deceit and treachery lay abundant, to continue with a life of plotting and scheming? Then…. when can this stop? When will we ever meet?! Shui QianRou was filled with melancholy. And a dull throbbing pain could be felt in her heart. She lowered down her head, tightly biting on her cherry lips, while her feet involuntarily drew circles on the floor. But she did not speak.

"You will not feel lonely, because I'll be accompanying you there." Ling Tian laughed and continued, "I've dreamed of seeing the scenery of the Heavenly Wind Continent for a long time already. I'm also pretty interested in the heroic legends behind Mount Vacant Sky. Can you feel at ease now?"

"Really? You're really intending to go over there?" Shui QianRou lifted up her head as undisguised joy shone through her eyes. The joys and sorrows of life come too quickly, one moment she was submerged in hell, but the next she was lifted back up to heaven. A brilliant smile was already suffused on her face as she spoke. So long as 'he' remained by her side, where on earth could she go and not feel happy?

"Oh? Why is it that you've started crying? Do you hate me that much, If so, then forget it. Since you don't wish to see me, then I had better not go over there. I don't need to bring disdain upon myself!" Ling Tian pretended to sigh as he turned to walk out.

"Go, you must go!" Shui QianRou pounced over like a fish jumping out of the water, hugging him. It was like an octopus had latched onto him, and she laughed as she shouted out, "You obviously said that you would go, so you can't go back on your word. You must go, you better go…"

Never in his dreams did he imagine that Shui QianRou would have such an intense reaction, and Ling Tian was struck full on by the waves of fragrance that rushed towards him. A soft and warm body that was filled with countless temptations suddenly clung onto him, with the feeling of satiny soft skin all around him. Shui QianRou's proud twin peaks were pressed tightly on his chest. The thin fabric of her robes did nothing to mask the sensitive senses of Ling Tian, and he could acutely feel two little dots that were the size of beans lightly grazing his chest…

This lass actually did not bother wearing any undergarments!

Ling Tian felt as though a ball of fire had been lit up under his heart. Looking at the scene of spring in front of him, carrying an infinite amount of happiness, as well as the satisfied smile on her face causing her cherry-red lips to curve into a crescent, Ling Tian's body blazed up with an evil fire. He could not help but lower his head down, quickly sealing that perfect little mouth with his.

Shui QianRou had previously lost herself in her emotions, and within this short instant she suddenly felt that she had acted too rashly, without a single trace of a graceful bearing. She was afraid that her position in his eyes would be lowered and was just about to come down when her vision went dark, and she realized that her lips had already been claimed by Ling Tian…

Her brain short-circuited instantly with a 'boom', leaving a patch of white. Her eyes widened into perfect circles, staring into Ling Tian who was impossibly close to her, revealing an expression of embarrassment as well as helplessness.

Wasn't this what she had always dreamed of? But… why was the feeling so strange? Her heart was in a panic, yet she was filled with so much sweetness and bliss. This hug, how could it suddenly feel so safe to her?

Shui QianRou only felt her lips being wrapped in warmth, but shortly after, a lively tongue started to tease the edges of her lips, before suddenly prying open her teeth and burrowing in…

An immediate sensation of losing one's soul and melting rose from Shui QianRou's heart. She tentatively opened her mouth, accepting the advances of the man before her. It was only after a long time that she suddenly recovered from her senses, and wanted to open her mouth wide to scream out. But who knew that the moment her mouth opened up wide, her tongue was immediately latched onto by the offensive party. Shui QianRou's body quivered and her brain grew all foggy once again. She could only resign herself to hold on to Ling Tian for dear life, without any power to struggle. Her eyes were trained onto him, curiously yet shyly watching his face.

Shui QianRou only felt as though her body was incredibly weak, without even the strength to hold onto Ling Tian any longer. Just as she was about to drop off, she felt a warmth on her pert behind. It turned out that a pair of blazing hot hands had all of a sudden appeared on her, slightly exerting strength as they supported her. But these pair of hands were extremely perverted, actually taking the chance to slide further in and start to lightly knead at her secret spots…

Shui QianRou could only open her eyes wide, yet could not do anything against Ling Tian's frenzied tongue action. She actually could not react to his advances, or it should be said that she had no idea how to react to him…

Suddenly, Ling Tian lifted up his head, breaking the kiss as he panted heavily. He looked deeply into her eyes as he reprimanded. "Focus."

His tone was actually so domineering!

This arrogant and domineering tone managed to allow Shui QianRou to cut through the fog in her mind. But instead of registering the dominance, she was panicking in her heart as she rapidly thought, "He wants me to focus? Focus on what?" Thinking up to this point, she only managed to open her mouth and ask this silly question, "What…. focus?"

"What huh… focus on this." Ling Tian's tone had become rougher, and he bent his head once again, sealing up her lips with his…

Shui QianRou began to feel as though she was short for breath…..

It was only after a long period of time that Ling Tian finally let go of her, cuddling her in his bosom as he gazed at her shyly nestled within, huffing and panting with tightly shut eyes. He lightly smiled, before blowing into her ear, "How did it feel?"

Shui QianRou was immersed in the feeling of having her soul floating about the nine heavens, and had not returned back to earth. Thus she instinctively responded, "What feeling?" Moments later, she snapped back into reality, and her face immediately felt as though it was on fire. With a lovable moan, she immediately buried her face into Ling Tian's chest, not daring to look up.

Ling Tian evilly grinned before using a hand to smack down on her buttocks before kneading them unceremoniously. Shui QianRou immediately moaned out loud, her body trembling as her eyes grew vacant once more.

Savoring the texture and feel of softness on his hands, Ling Tian strongly resisted the urge to take her right there and then. He deeply breathed in, before putting her down.

It was not that he had no desire to, but rather he could not afford to.

Li Xue, Ling Chen and Yu BingYan were in another room not far from here, and if the three of them got impatient and rushed over, catching them in the act, Ling Tian could have a tough time trying to swallow these three vats of vinegar [1]…

Furthermore, this was a critical juncture, and it simply was not the time to fool around…

If he wished to consider their happiness, then he needed to think from a long term perspective, Ling Tian comforted himself inwardly. This caused little Ling Tian who was at full mast to slowly sound the retreat as well.

"You have to take good care of yourself these few days. We might have to move off at any moment. As for the construction of the Shui Family Courtyard here at Sky Bearing, you can be assured, nothing will go wrong." Ling Tian lightly tousled her hair as he gently spoke.

Shui QianRou lay on the reclining chair as though she was totally boneless, and could only reply with a soft 'en'. She was unlike Ling Tian, who had a 'daily exercise regime' every day. She was still a lady who had yet to be married, thus even the kiss they had previously was her first kiss! She was still enthralled within that feeling of bliss, to the point that her brain was still a little foggy. Whatever Ling Tian said, she would agree, and it was as though she had no brain cells left to think. Or else, with the intelligence of this great Miss Shui, how could she pose such a stupid question just now?

Looking at Shui QianRou's lazy look as though she was still immersed within her dreams, Ling Tian felt a sense of happiness, and lightly held on to her as he whispered a few more endearing words before he finally left the room.

It was a long time after Ling Tian left that Shui QianRou was finally roused from her messy thoughts. As she gradually recalled the bits and pieces that had happened, her face grew redder and hotter, and finally she moaned out loud, burying her head within the pillow as she pulled the blankets over her, as though trying to enclose herself in her own world. Just what was wrong with her today, this was just too embarrassing….

As Ling Tian walked out of the room, he sighed towards himself. Regarding the matters in Heavenly Wind Continent, he really did not know how to handle it. There was only less than a year left before the Yu and Shui Families' sixty-year generational battle! Ling Tian was weighing his options. Would it be better for him to go over to Heavenly Wind Continent before the battle started, or after? Although, the generational battle had already lost its original meaning!

If he went there before the battle, then relying on the messy situation of the Shui Family currently, he could borrow the strength and influence of the Sky Alliance to further his plans. However, right now the hearts of the Shui Family members were scattered from one another, but their foundations still maintained. If he wished to carry out his plans, then he would have to pay a humongous price to do so, and he wasn't willing!

But if he were to head over after the generational battle, while the Shui Family would suffer from a drop in strength, his opponents would definitely obtain an overwhelming advantage in the generational battles and this would usher in a new age of the Shui Family. At that point, not only would their internal strife be solved, but they would also group together and become like a plate of steel. At that point, it would be hard for Ling Tian to succeed in his plan.

To allow Shui QianRou to rise up was indeed a path of thorns.

Shaking his head, Ling Tian still could not make up his mind in the end and walked with heavy steps towards the secret chamber. This problem could wait until he had purged the poison from Yu BingYan's meridians.

"How are the preparations?" The moment Ling Tian entered, he spoke in a stern voice, giving the three beauties a scare. They did not know why Ling Tian's tone would suddenly become so severe.

How could they know that Ling Tian was doing a preemptive strike in order to hide his 'wrongdoings' earlier?

"There's no problem at all, we can begin at any time." Li Xue sized up Ling Tian with a suspicious look. Inside the room, the person who knew Ling Tian best was probably her! She clearly knew that something was up with Ling Tian, but she could not be bothered to expose him.

"Not now," Ling Tian solemnly replied. "Since you said that preparations are done, then take a look at this to see if we can use it for the purging of the poison. This is good stuff!" As he spoke, his hand flipped over, and within his palm lay a round and smooth orb much like a goose egg. It had a bouncy texture, and a dim light could actually be seen emitting from within it, causing a clean fragrance to appear in the stone chamber.

"This is an inner pellet? Li Xue's expression grew solemn as well. She was more experienced than Ling Tian regarding such a thing, to the point that she recognized it at the very first glance. This was indeed an inner pellet! She could not help but jump in shock, as she never realized that there were divine beasts in this world capable of congealing an inner pellet.

"This is indeed an inner pellet, it belongs to a scaled armored dragon, with it mainly comprised of Yang energy." Ling Tian hefted the pellet and asked, "Take a look and see if you can use it, as well as how you would go about using it. You're more familiar than me in such matters, and I can only ask for guidance this time!"

"Scaled Armored Dragon!" Li Xue sucked in a cold breath of air, stretching out her hand to receive it and feeling the quality of the pellet. Her face changed immediately as she exclaimed, "Half of the pellet has already turned into solid form, this shows a cultivation of at least 2000 years… This should be a scaled armored dragon on the verge of turning into a true dragon! You… with your current strength, how could you even kill such a beast? Don't tell me this was done by you, I won't believe it, not even Justice could do so a thing!"

Ling Tian could only bitterly smile. He knew that this lass was trying to put him down, hence he rubbed his nose and replied, "If purely based on results, then you could really say that I killed it, while it was hugely because of luck. Remember how I wanted to cut the river's flow that one time? In order to do so I had to blow up the entire mountain, and when it collapsed this poor creature was flattened to death, so I got it cheaply. That's how I conveniently got my hands on this thing."

"Conveniently? What other good stuff do you have? Take it all out!" Li Xue's eyes lit up and her little hand had already stretched out once more, directly under Ling Tian's nose."

Ling Tian laughed bitterly.

It was not that he did not wish to pass things over, but the problem was how to go about doing it. The skin of the scaled armored dragon could be used to manufacture protective vests, and the inner pellet could be given to whoever had the best knowledge of it. But the problem lay in the most precious treasures of the scaled armored dragon, the eyes, which were also known as night illumination pearls! There were only two, but three women here… whom should he give it to?

"Hand it over!" Seeing Ling Tian with a bitter smile on his face, Ling Chen and Yu BingYan could not help but giggle and exchange glances. Suddenly, two more hands appeared under Ling Tian's nose.

"Heh heh, just the inner pellet? For a scaled armored dragon to have cultivated to such a level, its eyes could be considered as the highest grade of night illumination pearls, so where are they? Hurry and hand them out! Why, have you given them to someone else? No wonder you had a shifty look when you came in just now!" Li Xue was akin to a loan shark who had come to collect the debts.

Ling Tian immediately started sweating, and he dejectedly took out the night illumination pearls that were as large as chicken eggs, stuffing them into Li Xue's hands as he anxiously replied, "What shifty look? I'll hand these over but there's only two, so you can choose who to give them to. I have no opinions on this!" The moment he passed her the pearls he immediately relaxed and began laughing out loud.

When the night illumination pearls were taken out, the entire stone chamber was suddenly shrouded in a faint dusky light, elegant and pristine, as though untainted by mortal dirt. The rays of light let out were just like that of a fantasy world…

"Wah!" Ling Chen and Yu BingYan immediately exclaimed in joy. Being females, they always had an attraction and thirst for such rare treasures. No matter if they were a lady from an aristocratic family or a daughter of a humble home, neither was an exception, and they were immediately enthralled by the pearls.

Li Xue was also similarly stunned.

With her intelligence, she immediately understood that the 'rent' she worked so hard to get had instantly turned into a hot potato in her hands!

There was only two of them, so how should she divide them? Now that there were three of them, and this was not even counting Xiao YanXue, Shui QianRou, as well as Ling Tian's cousin back in the Ling Residence…. Li Xue sighed, could it be that she would be forced to divide it using a knife?

Ling Chen as well as Yu BingYan immediately realized this point and looked at the other party in embarrassment before suddenly taking a step back.

"I don't care anymore!" In a panic, Li Xue immediately threw the two pearls back to Ling Tian, as though they were searing hot metal plates.

Ling Tian hurriedly caught them, a helpless look on his face as he replied, "I already said that I have no opinions, so what do you want me to do?"

All three ladies suddenly fell into silence. They evidently wanted it, but they did not dare to open their mouths, obviously wanting for Ling Tian to make the final choice. Who would this jerk choose in the end?

Ling Tian did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was troublesome when one had too many wives. This matter of choosing who to give things to was really too vexing.

If he were to choose to randomly hand it out, then the rest of them would definitely be saddened. In addition, the girl who received it would be overjoyed but also incredibly anxious, since she would be on the opposite side of the other ladies.

Ling Tian viciously glared at Li Xue, his meaning clear: See! Playing punk with me, look at the trouble you've caused!

Li Xue guiltily looked away, before suddenly rolling her eyes at him as she lowered her head. In her heart she was sneering, Serves you right, who asked you to be such a womanizer, taking so many concubines? Now look, isn't this your retribution?"

The secret chamber fell into a moment of silence such that even a pin dropping could be heard.

After a while, Ling Tian finally laughed bitterly. "Since we cannot separate them, then how about I just smash them all apart and mix it with water, allowing everyone to drink it? I heard that this thing has beautifying properties, and everyone can get an equal share if it's ground into powder." Ling Tian even laughed, but his laugh was extremely forced and sounded more like he was crying out loud than laughing.

The moment his sentence ended, the three beauties glared at him as though he was a monster. Such a perfect work of nature, a treasured night illumination pearl, and this b*stard actually wanted to smash it?

The three of them immediately rushed forward, snatching the pearls away from him. After exchanging a glance with each other, Li Xue suddenly coughed and muttered, "Regarding these two pearls, I have an idea."

Ling Tian looked at her interestedly, "Oh, what is it? How do you plan to solve it?!"

"These two pearls, while wondrous, only number two in the end. No matter which sister you give it to, it would be very inappropriate. As such, I have two ideas to solve this. The first would be that since these night illumination pearls came from the scaled armored dragon, they have the ability to absorb the surrounding energy of the atmosphere, and other than beautifying effects, it can keep illnesses at bay. That's the say, so long as one wears the pearl on them, their bodies will gradually improve. Although it is not as heaven-defying as having immortality, they can increase their lifespan by years without a problem. My first suggestion would be to give these two pearls to the two elders of the Ling Family, allowing both of them to wear one each."

Ling Tian's eyes lit up, and could not help but secretly nod his head.

"The second idea would be to take these two pearls as family heirlooms of the Ling Family. Since we're already in the midst of our great plan, and it will not be for long before Tian'ge will sit on the throne, my meaning is to use these pearls as the jewelry when the emperor ascends his throne. The emperor will wear one, and the empress will wear the other." Li Xue slowly spoke.

"I believe that no matter which idea it is, the pearls would not cause any unnecessary problems. What does everyone think!"

"Both ideas are good, hehe, Sister Xue, you're really smart!" Both Ling Chen and Yu BingYan praised, fully convinced of Li Xue wits.

"Since that's the case, then let me pass the pearls over to grandfather and grandmother. The two elders are already getting on in age, and need these pearls more than us." Ling Tian made the final decision, and could not help but feel a little guilty in his heart. To think that he was still their own grandson, but did not consider them at all!

"However, before this, the two pearls can be given to Sister BingYan to wear at her waist, at least for today." Li Xue spoke after some consideration. "Once we begin to purge the poison, if she wears this, then it can protect her meridians and prevent them from suffering too much damage. Secondly, the inner pellet of the scaled armored dragon will resonate with the pearls, allowing the medicinal strength to be better absorbed by the body. After treatment, it can also serve as an effective remedy to replenish the vitality in her body. It's not too late to pass the pearls over to the two elders after she recovers."

Ling Tian expressed his agreement, before asking, "Since that's the case, I believe you have an idea of how much she will need to consume?"

Li Xue, on the contrary, shook her head, "How can there be a prescribed amount? I can only suggest that we start off with the smallest dosage possible, then slowly test out the greatest amount her meridians can take at any one time. When the pure Yang energy fully dissipates, then we'll stop the dosage and immediately begin the purging. Oh, there's still another point, Sister BingYan's conception and governing meridians are not opened yet, and thus only can absorb the liquid portion of the inner pellet. If the medicinal strength is too vigorous, she will not be able to take it."

Li Xue glanced at Yu BingYan with a smile as she continued, "If Sister BingYan is ready, then we can start. Now that we have this inner pellet, our chances of success will greatly increase, and I believe it will be easy to dispel this foul disease for good!"

Yu BingYan's face immediately turned white, and she backed off two steps like a frightened deer, tightly hugging onto Ling Tian's right arm as her body trembled.

Divine Black Negative Meridians, this was the foul disease that had afflicted Yu BingYan for her entire life. It was also regarded as the number one incurable disease, and Yu BingYan had long given up hope to cure it. However, right now, knowing that there was a cure for it, Yu BingYan suddenly became frightened.

If it was before she met Ling Tian, then she would not be afraid, but rather joyous at such a scenario. Curing it was a good thing, and if it could not be removed, it could be considered as a sort of release to her. Life and death did not matter to her that much during that point.

However, after she accepted Ling Tian into her heart, Yu BingYan grew afraid. She was not afraid of dying but instead was afraid of leaving Ling Tian, of knowing that he would live his life in misery. She was even more afraid of losing the happiness she had just obtained. Even if it was just to enjoy it for one month more, one day, or even a minute, to use this happiness to gamble against her treatment was not something she was willing to do, even if the chance of success was infinitely close to 100%!

She blankly stared at Ling Tian, tears beginning to brim in her eyes. But she refused to blink, as she felt that the moment she blinked, she would see less of Ling Tian. Even if she were to die, she wanted to see more of Ling Tian!

Tears started to silently flow.

"Silly lass, why are you even crying?" Ling Tian gently wiped off the tears in her eyes as he spoke in a gentle tone, "Regarding this treatment, I've already prepared this for more than a year. Relax, nothing will go wrong! Believe in me! For a longer period of happiness, we have to overcome this illness of yours together."

Yu BingYan continued to stare dumbly at him, her voice trembling as she spoke, "Tian'ge, I'm afraid… I'm afraid that I'll never get to see you again. How about pushing this back for a few more days? Let me accompany you a few more days, even a day more would be good."

Ling Tian's heart twisted, yet he forced out a laugh, as though he was completely relaxed as he replied, "What are you scared of?! Yan'er, after today, we'll have a lifetime to spend with each other, growing older and being actual husband and wife. Didn't you already agree to that? You still promised to bear me children, don't tell me you aren't willing anymore?"

Tears continued to drip down from Yu BingYan's face, as she choked in between sobs, "I want… I really want to bear children for you, to grow old together, that's my greatest wish. But I'm afraid… I'm really afraid I don't have this fortune… what if…"

"There are no ifs!" Ling Tian's voice suddenly took on a stern tone. "Yan'er, you're mine, Ling Tian's woman. I need you to properly live on, do you understand? Live on for me! Believe me, and also believe yourself. We will pass through this hurdle!"

Yu BingYan nodded, sprinkling the ground full of tears. "Tian'ge, so long as you promise me something, we can begin right away."

"What is it?"

"You have to promise me that if, IF, if I don't make it…. and die, you have…. to quickly forget about me. I don't wish to have you feel sad over me, and even more than that I do not wish for you to miss me, to hurt yourself. You, as well as Sister Ling Chen and Li Xue must live on well without me, okay?" Yu BingYan's lips trembled, and the tears flowed down unceasingly now.

Ling Tian felt a heart-wrenching pain, and the words choked in his throat. He violently hugged Yu BingYan, lowered his head, gently kissing her on her lips, growing fiercer by the second. Yu BingYan's body trembled, and her elegant arms circled around Ling Tian's neck, tightly holding on while choking and sobbing sounds still sounded from her.

The tears never once stopped flowing down her face, flowing down to where their mouths were intertwined. Ling Tian could clearly feel a faint salty and bitter taste…

Ling Chen and Li Xue were looking on by the side, but they actually had no jealousy in their hearts, but rather a sense of tenderness and pity towards Yu BingYan…

Chapter 608: Romance in the Chamber

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ling Jian held onto his sword as he guarded the entrance. The number one assassin in the world had a solemn expression on his face and his body was like a tyrannical spear with his breathing heavy. At the same time, his sword was already unsheathed and in his hand! He was completely ready to do battle!

Ling Jian had no choice but to be careful. If Ling Tian and the rest were to be disturbed at this moment, the battle strength of their Ling Family would be completely wiped out! He cannot allow any accident to happen! Thus, Ling Jian was currently in a state of extreme readiness.

Apart from Ling Jian, the others had already been chased out of this place.

Li Xue originally suggested that Justice could personally guard the place to ensure that nothing would go wrong, but Ling Tian did not want Justice to know too many of his secrets. Especially the fact that he had the inner pellet of a flood dragon. Even if he was using the heart of a despicable individual to measure the magnanimity of a gentleman, he couldn't be bothered.

While Ling Tian trusted Justice's character, Justice had chased after the Shui Family experts for hundreds of miles just to obtain a small Sandalwood Pearl. If Justice were to take a liking to the flood dragon's inner pellet, he would be in big trouble! While both the Sandalwood Pearl and inner pellet were like miracle medicines to treat injuries, the Sandalwood Pearl was not even in the same league as the inner pellet!

Even if he knew that Justice would not set his eye on the inner pellet, Ling Tian still had to act carefully! Ling Tian would not allow anything to go wrong! Thus, Ling Tian decided that Ling Jian was the best candidate to keep guard.

However, Justice wasn't completely idle either. Ling Tian invited Justice to 'rest' on the outside and if there were enemies, the enemies would have to first pass through Justice. As such, his defenses could be said to be impenetrable!

While Ling Tian described the whole process of purging the Divine Black Negative Meridians casually, he knew that this was one of the biggest events in his Ling Family Courtyard. The three giants of the Courtyard were involved in this process and they could not be disturbed the moment the process started. Even a slightly louder than normal sound would be enough to send the four of them into cultivation deviation.

Thus, Ling Tian had no choice but to be careful. While there was already the iron defense of Justice on the outside, Ling Tian had still decided to make Ling Jian set up another line of defense on the inside.

Ling Tian pressed a button and pushing onto the stone wall with force, a series of mechanical sounds could be heard and the stone wall gradually flipped open. The four of them then entered the secret chamber together.

This was the most concealed location in the Ling Family Courtyard and the place where Ling Tian would meet his aides in secret! In the whole Ling Family Courtyard, there were less than 20 who knew about the existence of this place!

However, everything that was originally in the room had been removed and only an empty chamber was left. In the large chamber, only piles of dark red charcoal could be seen lining up the sides of the chamber. Apart from that, there was a thick white cloth in the middle of the room and a stack of clean towels. Four large buckets of water were placed in four corners and were covered with a wooden lid.

Ling Tian looked at the three ladies who were looking at the room with surprise and smiled. He then took out the Night Illumination Pearls of the flood dragon and tied a pearl to Yu BingYan's hair. After that, he placed another pearl into a small bag and hung it around Yu BingYan's neck like a necklace.

The dim glow of the Night Illumination Pearl made Yu BingYan looked as though she was radiating with light and her beauty was all the more emphasized. She looked at Ling Tian and the others with a terrified expression which truly drew the pity of even Li Xue and Ling Chen.

Li Xue looked at Ling Tian and Ling Tian nodded his head heavily. The faces of the three ladies then flushed red as they looked at each other without making a move.

"What are all of you standing there for? Quickly undress." Ling Tian asked.

Hearing that, the three of their faces turned a shade darker. Even the usually crazy Miss Li Xue had her head lowered as she twiddled with the corner of her shirt.

"Haiz! When the three of you are supposed to be shy, you girls would act boorishly. Now that it isn't the time for you girls to be shy, all of you are acting in such an embarrassed manner." Ling Tian sighed and shook his head helplessly, "My three young Misses, I am not trying to take advantage of you three. In the process of purging such frost toxins, we must ensure that not a single piece of fabric remains on your body, so the toxins can be expelled into the air directly. If there is a layer of cloth, the frost toxins would end up flowing back to your hearts and things would be troublesome. All three of you are also aware of this. Why are you girls acting in such a manner now?"

Li Xue grunted, "We naturally understand the logic. If it is only the three of us ladies being naked in front of each other, it wouldn't matter. However, the problem is that there is a man like you in front of us, how can the three of us unwed ladies appear in front of you without any clothes?"

Ling Tian laughed sneakily and winked at Ling Chen, "You guys suddenly remember that all of you are unwed? While you and Yan'er are indeed unwed ladies, Chen'er is no longer unwed. Hehehe, besides that, Yan'er is already my wife and we are only missing the official ceremony. If not for her Divine Black Negative Meridians, I would have already eaten her whole! You are the only troublesome one here. Do you still want to be my younger sister?"

Ling Tian was obviously trying to eat all the three ladies in front of him!

Ling Chen let out a wail and she covered her face with her hands squatting down on the ground in embarrassment. Yu BingYan's cheeks were rosy red and a sense of happiness welled up in her heart. At the same time, she resolutely decided that after the frost toxins in her body was purged, she must definitely become his man!

Seeing Ling Tian determination to eat them all up, Li Xue's face turned red, "Why don't we make a barrier with cloth?"

Ling Tian rolled his eyes and said, "What's the difference with wearing clothes?"

In actual fact, it was truly a feasible solution but young noble Ling Tian would not be willing to waste this chance which he had been planning for so long. Besides that, Ling Tian wanted to make use of this opportunity to honestly express his feelings towards the ladies and set the foundation for them all to share the same bed with him together in future…

After this incident, the three ladies would definitely have fewer objections and that would not need to remain as just a dream…

Seeing the look of suspicions on the three of their faces, Ling Tian continued, "Besides that, all of you are going to be my wives sooner or later. There is no need to be afraid of embarrassment! Miss Li, please don't say that you want to be my younger sister, it is already too late for that. I am just taking a look at you, just take it that I am taking a loan before our wedding. Besides that, what is wrong with being seen by your husband? Unless you aren't willing?!"

As Ling Tian finished his words, the three embarrassed ladies charged forward brandishing their fists in embarrassed fury. Ling Tian's words had made the three of them both furious and embarrassed. Now that they had the chance, they must definitely teach Ling Tian a good lesson. While they were definitely willing to let their husband take a look at them, how could they not teach Ling Tian a lesson when he said it in such a despicable manner?

Ling Tian hugged his head and curled up in a ball, crying out in pain. After the three ladies finally vented their anger, they looked at each other and burst out into giggles.

Li Xue suddenly looked at Ling Chen and said, "Since younger sister Chen has already become one with him, I think that you don't need to be shy. Why doesn't younger sister Chen start first?"

Ling Chen's face became bright red as she stammered, "Why… why… why me?"

Li Xue grunted twice and purposely said in a strange tone, "Who asked you to enjoy the benefits of a favorable position and go before all of your sisters. If not you, then who?"

Ling Chen was completely embarrassed.

Ling Tian began to sweat profusely! This demoness truly dared to say anything.

Yu BingYan had spent the most time with Ling Chen and was extremely close to her. Seeing Ling Chen speechless, she decided to come to Ling Chen's aid, "Elder sister Li, your relationship with our husband is the best and have already begun addressing each other as brother and sister. Since our husband has acknowledged you, you can be first!"

Li Xue immediately changed targets, "No no no, I would only address him as my elder brother at the most but the two of you are already addressing him as 'husband'. Since younger sister Chen isn't willing, why don't you go first?"

The moment Yu BingYan realized that she was attracting fire to herself, she betrayed Ling Chen immediately, "Elder sister Chen has spent the most time together with our husband and also went through a formal ceremony with him. I think we should let elder sister Chen go first."

…

The three of them were stuck in a stalemate in regards to who should undress first. In any case, none of them were willing to be the first one,

Ling Tian was anxious to the point he almost had ulcers in his mouth, "My dear ladies, this isn't a joking matter and a human life is at stake. I really…" Rubbing his head and pacing around the room, young noble Ling Tian truly had no plans at all.

An idea suddenly came into Li Xue's head, "I have an idea. Let us play rock, paper, scissors. The one who loses shall be the first to strip. We shall rely on our luck. How about that?"

Ling Tian was the first one to agree excitedly, "Count me in."

"Get to the side!" The three ladies roared together.

Finally, under Ling Tian's insistence, he managed to squeeze himself into the game shamelessly. The four of them gathered into a circle and the three ladies had a serious expression on their faces as though they were about to go into battle…

Rock… paper… scissors!

Ling Tian was completely dumbfounded!

The three ladies burst out into laughter together.

Yu BingYan, Li Xue and Ling Chen all chose rock…

Only young noble Ling Tian chose scissors…

"Where is the justice… I am actually the first one to lose…" Ling Tian muttered and looked at his two fingers in a daze. He never imagined he would lose in the very first round. In fact, it wasn't anything strange either. After all, his head was completely filled with dirty thoughts and it would be a strange matter if he didn't lose…

"Who said that there isn't justice. Isn't Justice right outside? Time to fulfill your bet! Strip! Quickly strip!" The three ladies cried out together with delight.

Ling Tian's body trembled and he felt as though he was an innocent young child who had fallen into a den of female wolves.

With his hands on his waist, Ling Tian let out a bitter laugh. No wonder the three ladies refused to strip. With everyone still being fully clothed and staring at you, it was truly extremely embarrassing to strip in front of everyone.

Even Ling Tian's extremely thick skin turned red…

"Hurry up and strip! What are you waiting for? Are you still a man? How can you be so wishy-washy, a human life is at stake here!" The three ladies jeered together and returned Ling Tian's words to him.

Ling Tian's face turned red and he wanted to find a hole to bury himself.

"Strip! Strip quickly!" The three ladies shouted together.

"My goodness… my three queens, this little one… shall obey your orders. I hope that the three queens will be gentle… it… it is my first time…" Ling Tian decided that he might as well put up a show.

Your first time? You should tell that to the ghosts!

Under the disdainful looks of the three ladies, Ling Tian slowly untied his belt. Since he could not avoid the matter, Ling Tian might as well shut his eyes and swiftly get it over and done with. In just a short few seconds, all of his clothes disappeared and only a pair of shorts was left behind, wrapping a large bundle under it…

"Lecher! Shameless!" The three ladies shrieked together and covered their faces at the same time. The three of them never imagined that Ling Tian would be so sporty and take everything off in a few short seconds.

Ling Tian shook his head helplessly, "I didn't want to strip but you girls forced me to do so. Now that I complied, I turned into a shameless lecher… My dear three young Miss, aren't the three of you too difficult to please? Where is the justice?!"

The three of them burst out laughing together and Ling Tian realized that while the three of them covered their faces with their hands, they obviously left a gap between their fingers and were obviously taking a sneak peek!

Ling Tian snorted twice and flexed his muscles like he was a bodybuilder, "How about it? Do I look good? Is my figure wonderful?"

"Cheh!" The three ladies snorted with disdain.

"Stop talking about me, the three of you should hurry up. If you drag matters on, the sky will turn dark." Ling Tian pestered with impatience. At the same time, his eyes glowed a lecherous green…

With Ling Tian pestering them, the three of them forgot to tease him and became anxious. The three of them hid their hands behind their backs and a look of seriousness could be seen on their faces.

An intense battle unfolded again. After two rounds, two delighted chuckles sounded and someone finally lost…

The one who lost was the main character of today: Yu BingYan.

Yu BingYan's face was already as red as a red cloth and she had forgotten all about her fear from the Divine Black Negative Meridians. Her head was lowered and her whole body stiff…

"Time to fulfill your bet! Strip!" Ling Tian roared and felt a trace of satisfaction in his heart…

"I just don't want to!" Yu BingYan wailed and sat on the ground hugging her knees. She curled up like an egg and hid her head in knees.

This lass had actually begun to act shamelessly. Ling Chen and Li Xue looked at each other helplessly.

Ling Tian was extremely magnanimous, he waved his hands and said, "You two continue, let me take care of her."

He then squatted down and chuckled, "Yan'er, let me give you two choices. Number one, you strip on your own. Of course, you can leave your undergarments. Number two, I will strip you down personally. Hehehe… I can guarantee you that not a single piece of cloth will be left on your body. How about that?"

Yu BingYan raised her head up shyly and looked at Ling Tian, "I… I can keep my undergarment?"

"You can keep it if you want." Ling Tian nodded his head.

"Hmph!" Yu BingYan grunted and stomped her feet before taking a peek at the three others, "You guys… turn around…"

Ling Chen and Li Xue chuckled as they looked from the side happily, "Little sister BingYan, we are all ladies, what's there to be embarrassed about? When the three of us bathed together, we have already seen it all! Look at your shy appearance, so useless!"

Yu BingYan looked at the other two and pouted angrily, "The two of you better not be too delighted. It will be both of your turns soon. Do the two of you think that you can escape?"

The two ladies froze up and glared back at Yu BingYan.

Ling Tian watched from the side with interest, and seeing the reddened faces of the three ladies, he felt an immense sense of satisfaction in his heart. Knowing that the three ladies would never strip with him around, he said, "I will go and light the charcoal first and the three of you should not delay matters for too long. It is only a matter of time and we need to quickly purge the Divine Black Negative Meridians from BingYan. Li Xue, you are the one who is the most familiar with the inner pellet of the flood dragon and should make ample preparations. Ling Chen, aid BingYan in consuming a Great Cyclic Pellet. Remember, you must immediately help her to absorb the medicinal effect. Right after the medicinal effect of the Great Cyclic Pellet is fully unleashed, BingYan's meridians will be at their peak and you must let her consume a small amount of the inner pellet. At that time, all the charcoal in the room will be lit. With us being in the middle, it would be fire from the outside and inside, the best environment to purge the Divine Black Negative Meridians. I should be able to borrow the external fire of this place to suppress the frost toxins with my Divine Shocking Dragon Formula."

Ling Tian then said with regret, "What a pity, I am only able to use this red charcoal capable of burning for three days and nights. If I could find the legendary XianTian pure flame, it would be perfect."

Li Xue laughed out loud. "If you were in possession of a XianTian pure flame, you would be at the thirteenth level at the very least, right? That is a legendary realm that no one has ever reached! Besides that, if you really had the ability, you could directly refine the Divine Black Negative Meridians in BingYan's body and she would turn into a peerless expert in a single night! What a pity, you are only at the tenth stage presently," Li Xue disdainfully said.

Being interrupted, the awkwardness of the three ladies was greatly reduced. Looking at the naked Ling Tian lighting up the charcoal, the three of them could not help but laugh.

Li Xue waved her hands and a couple of clanging sounds could be heard. Following that, she spread out layers of white cloth into the sky and they were actually mysteriously suspended in mid-air. The middle of the room seemed to have been transformed into an independent space surrounded by white cloth.

Heavenly Silk!

This was colorless and formless silk that was unbreakable. Apart from the Heavenly Silk, nothing else would be able to achieve such an effect. Ever since Ling Tian handed over the Heavenly Silk to Li Xue in Northern Wei, it was never returned back to him…

The previous clanging sound was Li Xue using the Soul Severing Needles to pin the Heavenly Silk to the wall.

By the side, Ling Tian was busily lighting up the charcoal. His method was extremely simple. With the piles of charcoal being piled up across the sides of the room, if he were to light them up slowly one by one, he would definitely exhaust a lot of time and the whole room would definitely be filled with smoke. In an enclosed area like this, it would definitely be enough to choke them all.

Instead, Ling Tian's method was to circulate his Divine Shocking Dragon Formula to its peak and convert it into a pure Yang inner qi. He would then be able to light a whole row of charcoal at the same time and the smoke produced would be much less. After walking once around the chamber, Ling Tian had easily lit up the charcoal piles!

Autumn had just arrived and the weather was still pretty warm. While the mountain was undoubtedly cooler, after a huge pile of charcoal was lit the effect shouldn't be underestimated. Ling Tian immediately felt as though he was in a sauna. Even a sauna in his previous life wasn't as warm as this…

The temperature in the room would definitely rise further as the charcoal burned.

Ling Tian then looked at the cloth that Li Xue had hung up and did not know whether to laugh or cry. In Ling Tian's eyes, these four layers of cloth were completely unnecessary! Was she trying to cover matters up only to make it worse?

Is it really necessary? If she didn't hang the cloth, it would only be the four of them. Even if she hung it up, it would still be the four of them. Besides that, Ling Tian was the key person to purge the Divine Black Negative Meridians and he would definitely have to enter the layers of cloth. Since they would have to face him naked, was there a difference to hang up these layers of cloth?

However, Ling Tian didn't know that the three ladies naturally had their reasons for hanging up the cloth. At the very least, they would feel differently. If the three of them were to strip in this open chamber, they would feel as though they were out in the wild with danger all around them. While there wouldn't be a fifth person to enter the chamber, this sense of insecurity would still be in the hearts of these ladies.

After hanging up the layers of cloth, the three ladies would immediately feel different. It was as though there was a little hut in the middle of the forest. While the number of people was still the same, this small little space would give the three of them a sense of security. In fact, with Ling Tian who was their beloved man present, the three of them would even feel a sense of sweetness and happiness in their hearts.

Of course, Ling Tian who did not deeply understand the thoughts of the ladies would not understand all of these.

Currently, young noble Ling was only filled with a ball of lust.

Under the glow of the fire, the figures of the three ladies in the layers of the cloth could be vaguely seen. It was like looking at a flower in the fog and a layer of mystery was added onto it. Hearing the three ladies chatting behind the cloth together with the embarrassment which they were trying so hard to suppress, while Ling Tian knew that this wasn't the right time, he just could not help but react to it.

Looking over, Ling Tian could obviously tell that the three ladies no longer had any clothing on their bodies. They were like three flawless jade pieces being wrapped up in cloth. If he walked nearer and looked through the cloth closely, he could even outline the three beautiful figures of the ladies.

Chapter 609: Peerless Frost Toxins

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Obviously, when Ling Tian's vision was being blocked by the white cloth, the three ladies flew into action quickly.

Thinking about how three beautiful ladies were before his eyes without a single piece of clothing on them, young noble Ling could not control his racing heart! Just what should he do?! If he couldn't control his lust and went out of control at this moment, the consequences would be horrible!

Taking in a deep breath, Ling Tian felt his heart thumping rapidly as he walked into the interior of the cloth. Little young noble Ling was already standing up straight and wanted to break free from his thin pants. His whole body was burning up from the need to suppress his lust.

As the three beauties inside noticed Ling Tian's arrival, they held their breaths with embarrassment.

The cloth trembled slightly and Ling Tian stopped right outside. As the three ladies saw his fit shadow on the cloth, their hearts clenched up in nervousness and they leaned on each other. Their three heads gathered together and they wanted to bury themselves…

Such an embarrassing scene…

Ling Chen and Li Xue both turned to curse Yu BingYan, "It's all your fault! Of all the illnesses to contract, you just had to contract such a weird illness which requires us to be naked in order to cure it! You dragged all of your sisters down into such an embarrassing situation…"

Yu BingYan was both embarrassed and anxious as she buried her head in her face and said with a barely audible voice, "What… what are you two embarrassed about… there… there isn't any outsiders here…"

"Little hussy! You still dare to come up with excuses!" The two ladies exploded and forgot about their shyness.

Just when they were fooling around with each other, Ling Tian finally took a step in. As the three ladies saw Ling Tian's robust naked figure, they cried out together and shrunk with nervousness.

Ling Tian also fell into a daze.

Young noble Ling finally realized that without witnessing it on his own, it would be impossible for him to visualize such a beautiful scene. In front of him, there were three peerless beauties with their spotless bodies displayed fully before his eyes. In that instant, Ling Tian's eyes were widened and his jaw dropped as he fell into a complete daze.

Ling Chen and Li Xue were wearing white undergarments and their alluring figures were completely exposed before him. Yu BingYan was dressed in a light pink undergarment and coupled with her snow-white skin, it was as though there was a sea of cherry blossoms in the snow. It was truly irresistible.

The figures of the three ladies were sleek where it should be sleek and curved where it should be curved. If they had a bit more substance, they would be considered plump. If they had a little bit less, they would be considered skinny. Coupled with their country-toppling beauty and their pinkish cheeks, Ling Tian seemed to have forgotten about everything around him. All of a sudden, he felt a tinge of itch by his nose and when he used his hand to rub his nose, his hand was filled with blood…

His nose actually bled…

Even someone like young noble Ling who had seen countless beauties was actually stimulated by the scene before him to the point his nose started to bleed. The intense stimulation could be easily imagined…

Ling Tian was extremely frustrated. It wasn't as though he had never seen a beauty before in his life. How could he be reduced to such a pathetic state? Could it be that little young noble Ling had been held back for too long? Now he had truly embarrassed himself. Ling Tian quickly wiped away the blood off his nose.

Seeing Ling Tian's pathetic appearance, the three ladies covered their faces and giggled. Ling Chen was still the most thoughtful one and quickly handed Ling Tian a clean piece of cloth.

Ling Tian quickly wiped the blood off his nose and coughed heavily twice with dissatisfaction at his performance. At the same time, he glared at the other two ladies fiercely as he thought, This young noble has been outside for a full month and has not had any release at all. Now that such a mesmerizing scene is before me, so what if I have a nose bleed? You two lasses actually dare to tease me! After we get rid of BingYan's Divine Black Negative Meridians, this young noble will take good care of you all. I shall 'kill' two birds with one stone. I cannot let Chen'er off as well! I might as well 'kill' three birds with one stone!

The temperature in the chamber increased further and Yu BingYan who had the weakest martial arts was completely drenched with sweat. Even Ling Chen and Li Xue who had the Divine Ice Formula were also perspiring!

The time had arrived!

With the constraint of time, none of them dared to delay matters any further. Yu BingYan first followed Ling Tian's instructions and sat cross-legged in front of him. Ling Chen sat a foot behind Yu BingYan and Li Xue stationed herself behind Ling Chen. Behind Li Xue was an airy space which was where the ventilation hole for the chamber was. This was the only place where air could flow out from the room and it would be the only cold place in the room. Only Li Xue who had a profound inner qi and deep foundation in the Divine Ice Formula could be stationed here.

The four of their faces turned solemn.

Under Ling Tian's commands, Ling Chen took out a Great Cyclic Pellet and fed it to Yu BingYan. Then, Ling Tian placed his hands on Yu BingYan's naked shoulders and transmitted his pure Yang inner qi.

When the Great Cyclic Pellet had just entered her abdomen, Yu BingYan's inner core was stimulated by Ling Tian. The medicinal effects of the Great Cyclic Pellet were quickly circulated around her body and into her meridians. Yu BingYan immediately felt as though a loud explosion went off in her body and she let out a muffled groan as a trickle of blood flowed down from her nose.

Ling Tian controlled this ball of inner qi to flow throughout Yu BingYan's meridians, and after passing through the top of her head, it rushed down to her inner core. After spinning two times in Yu BingYan's inner core, the inner qi in Yu BingYan's body was temporarily transformed into the pure Yang element.

Throughout the whole process, wherever the Divine Black Negative Meridians were, Ling Tian would try his best to avoid touching them. Thus, in Yu BingYan's body there was both fire and ice, with the two elements opposing each other. Her face was completely red as though she was being roasted from the inside to the outside. However, her heart was filled with a bone-piercing cold. Without the suppression of her inner qi, the Divine Black Negative Meridians seemed to be furiously expanding their territory and began circulating on its own.

This was the rebound effect after being suppressed for a long time.

Yu BingYan's chest was frozen like a block of ice to the point her chest turned purple, but her head and the other parts of her body looked as though they were steaming. Furthermore, the purple patch on her chest seemed to be expanding further.

The Divine Black Negative Meridians had just rebounded slightly and the medicinal effect of the Great Cyclic Pellet was no longer able to suppress it!

Ling Tian's eyes were no longer filled with other thoughts and he ordered calmly, "Li Xue! Inner pellet!"

Li Xue swiftly flashed over and opened Yu BingYan's mouth with her left hand. Her right hand then held onto the inner pellet above her mouth. Pricking the inner pellet with a silver needle, she carefully dripped three drops of liquid into Yu BingYan's mouth.

A cool liquid flowed from Yu BingYan's throat and into her belly and wherever it went past, Yu BingYan would first feel a refreshing feeling before a blazing heat expanded out from her meridians. It was as though an explosion went off within her body and the force of the explosion spread all across her body,

Yu BingYan let out a groan and bit onto her lips in pain. The violent energy had gone into a complete rampage throughout Yu BingYan's meridians. In fact, the surface of Yu BingYan's skin could be seen rising and falling as though there was an unknown living being in her bloodstream!

The arteries on Yu BingYan's temples also began to bulge and a green gaseous substance began to appear on all of her pores…

The pain which Yu BingYan was currently facing could not be imagined! However, this stubborn lady had only bit onto her lips without letting out a single word. She also tried her best to keep her expression calm!

The long years of torture had already given this frail lady an unbelievable tolerance to pain! In front of her beloved man, she displayed her strongest side and did not wish for her pain to affect him!

Ling Tian took in a deep breath and the pure Yang inner qi which was currently residing in Yu BingYan's inner core retaliated. It went along Yu BingYan's meridians and whenever it meets the violent energy of the inner pellet, Ling Tian's inner qi would immediately transform into an extremely gentle force to wrap itself around the violent energy. It would then gradually transform back into a pure Yang energy while refining and combining with the violent energy to become one.

Such a method would not exhaust much of Ling Tian's inner qi as he was only allowing a small ball of inner qi to roam around Yu BingYans meridians. However, it was extremely exhausting for Ling Tian's spirit! At this moment, Ling Tian could not afford to make even the slightest mistake. From the very start, Ling Tian had to ensure that his focus was at its peak. He had to switch his inner qi between hardness and softness at any time while monitoring the situation in Yu BingYan's body. On top of that, he also had to carefully control the route of his inner qi to ensure that it didn't damage any of Yu BingYan's healthy meridians.

Currently, all of Ling Tian's attention was focused on Yu BingYan. Even if a thousand man army was to start a war beside him, Ling Tian would not be able to notice it!

When the three drops of energy within the flood dragon's inner pellet had been fully refined, Ling Tian had already transformed his Divine Shocking Dragon Formula from hard to soft a full 24 times! For any expert in the world currently, even getting them to change the element of their inner qi once would be enough to mess up all of their meridians! Even Justice might not be able to endure such an extreme change in his inner qi and his meridians would probably be tangled up in a mess!

However, Ling Tian's Divine Shocking Dragon Formula originally had the unique capability of undergoing a myriad of transformations. Even in the face of such an impossible task, Ling Tian was able to accomplish it.

His powerful inner qi went back into Yu BingYan's inner core again. During this process, Ling Tian still did not invade the territory of the Divine Black Negative Meridians.

At this moment, all of Yu BingYan's pores were already starting to turn greenish and her chest was gradually turning dark purple. Furthermore, traces of ice could be seen gathering on her chest. Her lips had turned blueish and she had already fallen into a daze. Apart from her chest, neck, and lips, all other parts of her body were still steaming with heat.

Ling Tian calmly stabilized the inner qi in Yu BingYan's inner core. After that, he separated a small needle-like inner qi and tried pricking the Divine Black Negative Meridians beside Yu BingYan's heart!

He wanted to test the waters!

Yu BingYan's body cramped up…

That small trace of inner qi retreated quickly but the Divine Black Negative Meridians were still immovable. Although a small portion of frost toxins responded, it was only limited to the outermost layer of the toxins and was negligible. It seemed like the medicinal effects of the Great Cyclic Pellet and inner pellet weren't enough to shake the Divine Black Negative Meridians!

Ling Tian gradually retracted all of his inner qi back into Yu BingYan's inner core. Snapping out from his previous state of extreme concentration, Ling Tian realized that he was already completely drenched with sweat.

He then shouted, "Triple the energy of the inner pellet!" Three drops were obviously insufficient and Ling Tian decided to increase it immediately! Based on the situation of Yu BingYan's meridians, even if Ling Tian was supporting her by the side, she would only be able to endure so much. This was also the largest amount of medicinal energy which Yu BingYan could endure! This was also the final time! After this, it would be the time for his pure Yang inner qi to engage the Divine Black Negative Meridians in an all-out battle! He had to stimulate the Divine Black Negative Meridians thoroughly!

Li Xue did not dare delay and immediately dripped nine drops of the inner pellet into Yu BingYan's mouth.

After giving out his instructions, Ling Tian did not wait for Li Xue's reply and extended his senses into Yu BingYan's inner core again, controlling his inner qi to flow once around her meridians!

All of a sudden the nine drops of flood dragon inner pellet energy exploded forth! The might of this energy was also out of Ling Tian's expectations. Currently, it was as though ten large tubs of water were poured into a container which could only hold a single tub!

If it was truly a water tub, if it couldn't hold all the water, the excess would just overflow from the top. However, the container was now Yu BingYan's meridians! This was completely out of Yu BingYan's capacity! If it were to overflow, Yu BingYan would definitely die from her meridians exploding in just a short period of time!

Ling Tian did not grow anxious and he shut his eyes to deal with the violent energy. He immediately spun the inner qi within Yu BingYan's inner core into a mini whirlpool to welcome the energy of the inner pellet.

Boom!

As the two powerful forces collided within Yu BingYan's meridians, even Ling Chen and Li Xue who were by the side could feel the impact of this collision!

Yu BingYan and Ling Tian's body trembled together and blood began spurting out from Yu BingYan's mouth and nose! It sprayed out onto Ling Tian's muscular chest and a trace of blood could also be seen flowing down from Ling Tian's lips.

Ling Chen and Li Xue felt as though their hearts were in their throats as they looked at the other two with anxiousness, ready to take action at any minute.

Ling Tian's face trembled as he shut his eyes. While the two sources of energy collided together with each other, they were from the same source after all. As long as the two sources of energy could assimilate with each other, the danger would be nullified. However, it would be extremely challenging for Ling Tian to control this energy afterward!

A long while later…

A gigantic whirlpool was gradually formed within Yu BingYan's inner core and Ling Tian's attention was fully focused on it. He could even hear the 'si si' sounds being given out by the whirlpool…

He couldn't hesitate any further!

A red glow flashed past Ling Tian's face and he circulated all of his inner qi. All of his inner qi was converted into the pure Yang element and gushed into Yu BingYan's inner core to meld with the whirlpool! The amount of energy in Yu BingYan's inner core was not one that she was capable of containing. In fact, no one would be able to contain so much energy! Not Yu BingYan, Ling Chen, Li Xue, or even Ling Tian!

Four Great Cyclic Pellets within a month, twelve drops of energy from the flood dragon's inner pellet which was far superior to the Great Cyclic Pellet, and all of Ling Tian's inner qi! If such an influx of energy were to be injected into the body of the number one expert in the world, Justice, he would also explode on the spot for sure!

Ling Tian tried his best to control the energy to make a cycle around Yu BingYan's meridians. He then steeled his heart and guided it to charge upwards!

Yu BingYan's body trembled and with a bang, the only piece of cloth left covering Yu BingYan's body had also exploded into pieces.

Ling Tian had still underestimated this source of energy!

Even if he tried his best to control the energy, he was gradually losing control of it. Thus, Ling Tian decided to go all-out and directed it towards Yu BingYan's Conception and Governing Vessels!

He had no other choice! Even if Ling Tian couldn't use this opportunity to break through Yu BingYan's Conception and Governing Vessels, he could suppress the energy so he could control it. If he could break through the Conception and Governing Vessels luckily, with the Conception and Governing Vessels' broad channels, it would be enough to slow down the violent energy and Ling Tian would be able to direct it towards the Divine Black Negative Meridians! At that time, coupled with the energy of the Conception and Governing Vessels, he would be even more confident!

However, Ling Tian never expected that the Conception and Governing Vessels would easily break apart under the clash of this powerful energy! But despite this powerful energy breaking through Yu BingYan's Conception and Governing Vessels, it also damaged her meridians severely!

At this moment, Yu BingYan had truly profited from disaster! If she could remain safe until Ling Tian purged the Divine Black Negative Meridians completely, Yu BingYan would definitely become a top-notch expert in the world!

After all, breaking through the Conception and Governing Vessels was something that all martial arts practitioners dreamed of and it was also the greatest divide between ordinary martial artists and experts! There were countless individuals who could not achieve such a feat during their life but Yu BingYan was able to do so during the process of treating her injuries…

At this moment, Ling Tian no longer had the time to cry out in surprise. He quickly controlled the inner qi to weave through Yu BingYan's Conception and Governing Vessels once. Without returning the inner qi to her inner core, he directed it straight at the Divine Black Negative Meridians beside Yu BingYan's heart. At the same time, Ling Tian separated a gentle energy to protect Yu BingYan's heart!

The upcoming collision would definitely be far more violent than all the previous ones. If Yu BingYan's heart was not protected, she would probably go on into the afterlife before Yu BingYan could purge her frost toxins!

It was as though an atomic bomb had exploded in Yu BingYan's body and the intense collision shook both Yu BingYan and Ling Tian who were connected in spirit to the point blood could be seen spraying out from all their seven orifices! Ling Chen and Li Xue were both shocked, but Ling Tian and Yu BingYan's mind were currently connected and they paid no attention to what was going on on the outside. Even if the two of them were anxious, they were completely helpless!

Ling Tian felt as though he was a sprinting elephant that collided with a train at full speed!

It was as though an erupting volcano had collided with the icy peaks of the north pole! Ling Tian had almost suffered a mental breakdown!

The strength within Yu BingYan's Divine Black Negative Meridians had finally loosened up after this collision. Even the stubborn defenses of the Divine Black Negative Meridians created from a thick layer of frosty energy had finally been shattered. An endless wave of icy energy spread out in all directions like the rushing flood waters. As for Ling Tian's pure Yang inner qi, it was like a sharp steel awl piercing right into the core of Yu BingYan's Divine Black Negative Meridians!

The purplish patch on Yu BingYan's chest began spreading out towards her limbs at a rapid rate. In just a few short moments, a purplish layer could be seen covering all of Yu BingYan's skin. At the same time, a layer of bone piercing frost also gradually spread across her body.

At this moment, the temperature in the chamber was already far higher than the temperature of a sauna. Based on Li Xue's estimates, it was at least fifty degrees Celsius! The piles of charcoal by the sides of the room were still burning and emitting heat. At the same time, Ling Tian's Divine Shocking Dragon Formula was fully activated and transformed into pure Yang energy within Yu BingYan's meridians.

Despite all of these, the explosion of the Divine Black Negative Meridians could not be curbed! Ice crystals could still be seen on Yu BingYan's body and even the ground beneath her was beginning to freeze up. The temperature around them also seemed to have plunged down as though they were currently in winter. The burning charcoal by the side seemed to be completely useless!

With the collision of both cold and hot air, a thick layer of white fog covered the whole room. A short while later, the whole room was covered in a thick layer of fog and one wouldn't be able to see his fingers even if it was placed a foot in front of him!

The might of the Divine Black Negative Meridians was completely unimaginable!

With Ling Tian stimulating the Divine Black Negative Meridians, the Divine Black Negative Meridians had completely exploded in Yu BingYan's body and the frost toxins had even begun to invade Ling Tian's body through his arm. Ling Tian's arm had also gradually turned into a light shade of purple!

Finally, Ling Tian's hoarse voice could be heard, "Ling… Chen…start!"

Ling Chen took in a deep breath. Both she and Li Xue cultivated the Divine Ice Formula and this temperature was extremely comfortable to her. Hearing Ling Tian's instructions, Ling Chen placed her palms on Yu BingYan's back and fully activated her Divine Ice Formula. She was like an ice whirlpool which was sucking away all of the cold air!

Her target was naturally the never-ending extreme Yin energy in Yu BingYan's body!

The frosty energy flooded towards Ling Chen's body rapidly and apart from Yu BingYan's black hair and the place where the Night Illumination Pearls were located, Yu BingYan was completely silver from the layer of frost.

Ling Tian let out a sigh of relief. After Ling Chen took action, Ling Tian could immediately feel a decrease in pressure from the endless frosty energy. While the difference was slight, it was enough to allow Ling Tian to catch his breath slightly. He circulated his Divine Shocking Dragon Formula at full strength to dissipate the frosty energy from Yu BingYan's body while injecting his inner qi into Yu BingYan's body at the same time. Currently, Yu BingYan was like a block of ice and she was already frozen! It was only because Ling Tian's Divine Shocking Dragon Formula protected her heart and thus preventing her from dying on the spot!

The Divine Black Negative Meridians condition was indeed incurable in this world!

Without Ling Tian, even if the number one medicinal saint and expert in the world, Justice, tried to use his pure Yang inner qi to purge Yu BingYan's Divine Black Negative Meridians, he would probably end up being turned into a frozen corpse together with Yu BingYan!
