Chapter 73

As time passed, the people outside began to show signs of anxiety.

"Second Master Tie, do you really think he can alleviate the poison in Miss Third?" The green-clad girl bit her lip and kept glancing at the tent, her eyes filled with worry. She couldn't believe that a chance-met young man could have such abilities.

"I hope so," Second Master Tie stroked his beard and took a deep breath.

"Why has it been so long with no news?" A young man frowned, "Could he be doing something improper to Miss Third?"

"Should we go in and check?" The other young men's eyes turned red, their faces filled with anxiety.

"Nonsense," an elder scolded, "How can you speak ill of Miss Third?"

The young men fell silent at the rebuke and stopped discussing the topic.

"I hope he knows his limits," Second Master Tie's eyes narrowed as he muttered.

At this moment, inside the tent, the woman's skin began to recover, gradually turning snow-white.

Xiao Yun was deeply focused, controlling his martial soul to neutralize the toxins one by one.

Soon, the woman's tightly closed eyes twitched, her long lashes fluttered, and her eyes suddenly opened.

Her eyes were slightly hazy, as if she had just woken from a dream, with a hint of confusion. When she looked forward, she saw a stranger sitting opposite her, and the bizarre scene made her feel very surprised. "What's going on?"

Tie Rong'er was puzzled.

As her beautiful eyes blinked, she suddenly felt a jolt in her heart, a wave of shame and anger surging up.

The stranger's hand was actually placed on her body!

What was happening?

Her mind went blank; she couldn't understand why she would wake up in such a situation.

Ah!

As a chaotic mix of thoughts swirled in her mind, a scream escaped her lips.

"Awake?" Xiao Yun, who was concentrating on neutralizing the toxins, was startled and opened his eyes.

"Who are you!" Tie Rong'er's eyes blazed with anger, glaring at the man in front of her with a mix of fury.

Huff!

At the same time, she raised her hand and slapped at Xiao Yun.

But in the next moment, she felt her wrist seized, as if clamped by an iron vise, unable to move.

"Let me go!" Tie Rong'er's face flushed with anger, struggling to free herself, but as she moved, Xiao Yun's hand also moved, touching her skin.

"Trouble," Xiao Yun's eyes flickered, sensing the situation was not good.

"You!" Hearing the scream, Tie Rong'er was even more ashamed and angry.

"It seems you're recovering well," Xiao Yun smiled faintly, looking at the girl.

"I'll kill you," Tie Rong'er said angrily, but as she moved, Xiao Yun's hand also moved.

The touch of a stranger's hand made her feel as if she had been struck by an electric current, her whole body going limp.

Tie Rong'er was overwhelmed with shame and anger, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.

"Miss, I think you've misunderstood," Xiao Yun said, "I was removing the poison for you."

"Misunderstood?" Tie Rong'er looked at Xiao Yun with doubt.

"But you were clearly taking liberties with me," Tie Rong'er said, "If you don't let go, I'll call for help."

"Without me, could you have woken up?" Xiao Yun frowned slightly.

Then, Xiao Yun moved his hand from her chest to the wound beside it.

"Feel it, is the poison in your body being expelled?" Xiao Yun continued to use his martial soul to remove the poison.

"It really is," Tie Rong'er blinked, then her face showed surprise.

"I was removing the poison to save your life, so it's not as you imagined," Xiao Yun said.

"But did you have to do it this way?" Tie Rong'er's anger gradually subsided, but seeing her snow-white skin exposed, even her chest almost fully revealed, she felt extremely embarrassed.

"I apologize, but your wound is there," Xiao Yun said helplessly, "My method of removing the poison requires touching your wound, so it had to be this way. Otherwise, you wouldn't have survived much longer."

Tie Rong'er was initially skeptical, but seeing the green light in Xiao Yun's palm, she believed him, though the awkward situation still made her blush.

"Can you hurry up?" Tie Rong'er's face was beautiful, her breath like fragrant flowers, her ears red with embarrassment.

Her voice was enchanting.

"Cough, it will be done soon," Xiao Yun coughed lightly.

"What happened?" At this moment, the people outside heard the commotion and asked at the tent entrance.

"Nothing, the young lady's poison is starting to be alleviated," Xiao Yun said.

"Miss, was that you shouting just now?" The green-clad girl asked anxiously from outside.

That voice didn't sound right!

Could that guy have ulterior motives and be doing something to the young lady?

The green-clad girl's face was filled with worry.

Some of the young men also approached, having heard the scream from a distance.

"Nothing," hearing the clan members' inquiry, Tie Rong'er's breathing was slightly rapid, her chest rising and falling, showing her tension. The more nervous she was, the more she moved, and the more she touched Xiao Yun.

This made Tie Rong'er even more embarrassed, her face turning red.

"Miss, are you awake?" The green-clad girl asked with joy upon hearing the voice from the tent.

"Uh-huh," Tie Rong'er replied.

"That's great, let me see how you are now," the green-clad girl, looking very happy, was about to enter.

"No," Tie Rong'er quickly stopped her, "Please wait outside, or it will affect this young man's efforts to remove the poison."

In such a situation, if the clan members saw her, she would be too ashamed to face them.

"Uh," the green-clad girl stopped.

"Alright, let's wait outside," Second Master Tie said with a smile.

The clan members then stepped back.

Xiao Yun continued to remove the poison from Miss Third, who dared not move to avoid further awkwardness.

Under Xiao Yun's martial soul, the toxins were easily neutralized.

As time passed, Miss Third's complexion gradually returned to its former luster, the greenish hue on her body fading away, her skin as white as snow, smooth and youthful, almost translucent.

Xiao Yun closed his eyes, trying to use his martial soul to store some of the toxins.

After discovering that his martial soul could absorb all kinds of essence from the world, evolving into branches with fire and cold attributes, Xiao Yun had the idea of absorbing all kinds of essence to further evolve his martial soul, perhaps the ultimate path for it.

However, he only dared to store a small amount of toxins, fearing it might affect his mind.

His martial soul had not yet awakened, and its power was limited, so he had to wait.

"Why did he close his eyes?" As time passed, Miss Third found it boring and blinked her beautiful eyes, secretly looking at the young man in front of her. The young man's eyes were closed, his slightly childish face quite handsome.

The young man had sharp eyebrows, a clear face, and a hint of heroism in his eyes, making him stand out at his age.

However, his closed eyes made Miss Third frown slightly.

In such a situation, others would be trying to sneak peeks at her!

"Why isn't he looking?" Miss Third was puzzled.

At first, she felt very awkward about the situation, but now, thinking about it, she felt angry.

She was one of the most beautiful women in Beilan City, with countless talented young men vying for her attention. Why wasn't he taking the opportunity to look at her?

"Is he shy?" Miss Third frowned, but then thought, how could he be shy when his hand was on her body? Could it be that she wasn't pretty enough to attract him, so he didn't bother to look?

"What a man with no taste," the more she thought, the more indignant she felt.

The girl bit her lip, looking around helplessly, no longer feeling awkward, only indignant.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this moment, the sound of arrows breaking through the air suddenly rang out.

"Trouble, enemies are attacking!"

"They're from the Qi family!" When the sound of arrows broke through the air, the entire valley erupted in chaos, cries echoing through the forest.

The Tie clan members held their weapons, forming a defensive formation.

Second Master Tie stood at the front of the clan, holding a large saber, his long beard fluttering, his eyes cold and fierce like a lion ready to attack.

However, Second Master Tie did not act rashly, as men in tight clothing were approaching from both sides of the valley, holding bows and arrows, preparing to shoot once they reached a certain distance.

These men were clearly from the Qi family.

A few days ago, the Tie clan had encountered a similar attack, losing many men.

"Second Master, what should we do?" A middle-aged man approached, his face filled with worry, "This time, they have more men than last time!"

"I didn't expect them to come so soon," Second Master Tie frowned. They were supposed to leave early in the morning, but Miss Third's poisoning delayed them by half an hour, leading to this dangerous situation.

Suddenly, two cultivators descended from a distant hill.

"Ha-ha, Second Master Tie, this time you have no way to escape," the two men landed one after the other.

"Qi Zhong, Qi Ming!"

Second Master Tie's eyes narrowed.

"Hand over the Flame Token, or you will all die without a burial place today," Qi Zhong, in his forties, was not tall but had sharp, eagle-like eyes, exuding an irresistible aura as he approached.

"Hmph, you two brothers will have to pay a price to harm my clan members," Second Master Tie's large saber trembled, and a powerful aura burst forth from him.

"Ha-ha, to deal with you, we don't need to use our full strength," the Qi brothers sneered, approaching the Tie clan's camp.

They waved their hands, and the men in tight clothing gathered, drawing their bows and preparing to shoot.

The arrows on their bows glinted with a cold, poisonous light.
