Above Sunset Forest, the moon and stars were sparse.
In a vast clearing, within a spatial barrier that overlapped with it.
An old man and a young woman bathed in the dim moonlight, their breath forming white mist in the air.
They stood not far from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, still gazing at the two-colored spring.
"Grandpa! Did he... fail?"
"He wouldn't. Ye Qiu told me a long time ago that two or three days is still within expectations."
Dugu Bo's voice lacked some vigor.
Clearly, he also had some doubts.
"This guy talks big when he can't do it!" Dugu Yan bit her lip lightly. She had just figured things out, and he pulls this stunt!
She hugged her shoulders, tightening her grip, feeling a bit cold.
"Yan Yan, you should go back first..."
"Grandpa! Look!"
Just as Dugu Bo turned his head to speak with Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan exclaimed.
She vaguely seemed to see some bubbles rising from the surface of the spring water.
"What's wrong?" Dugu Bo also looked in the direction of the spring.
Splash! Thump!
The red and blue spring water splashed several meters high, and a figure rushed out from within!
After performing a 360-degree side flip in the air, he raised and spread his arms, landing gracefully on the bank, wide open, facing the grandfather and granddaughter.
His smooth scalp reflected the clear moonlight, making his specific features unclear.
His body was well-proportioned, with eight-pack abs on his abdomen.
As moonlight fell, it seemed as if he was covered in golden light. In this scene, he was like an unshakeable green lotus in the world! (Manual dog head)
"Ah! You scoundrel!"
"Hmm?" Ye Qiu, who was immersed in the changes of his own body, heard the scream and froze for a moment. He looked at the two familiar people in front of him and immediately wanted to go forward and greet them!
"Senior Dugu! Miss Dugu!"
"Haha! Kid! Hurry up and put your clothes on first!"
Dugu Bo's face was full of joy; at last, no accidents had occurred.
"Uh~ Holy crap!" Ye Qiu looked at himself and only then realized he was stark naked.
After this ice and fire body tempering, his physical body was now impervious to cold and heat, so he hadn't felt any chill.
Blushing, he quickly turned his back, swiftly retrieved his clothes from the Divine Might Space, and fumbled to put them on.
Dugu Yan, covering her eyes with her fingers, had an even redder face, her earlobes dripping blood, and her voice was somewhat gritted.
"This bastard!"
If she could have gone forward, she would have definitely kicked him twice!
Soon after, Ye Qiu had already put on his clothes.
"Hahahaha! What are you still standing there for? Now that you're dressed, hurry over! Yan Yan won't eat you!"
Dugu Bo looked at the neatly dressed Ye Qiu teasingly.
"Grandpa! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Dugu Yan also opened her eyes and looked at Ye Qiu, not expecting that bastard to be looking at her as well.
His eyes still held an apologetic look, and he kept scratching his head with a forced smile.
"This guy..." Dugu Yan gritted her teeth. She, of course, knew what Ye Qiu was afraid of; he was still haunted by that earlier glance!
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Dugu Yan no longer looked at that ungrateful fellow and turned to leave.
"Grandpa! I'm going back to rest first!"
"Yan Yan..." Dugu Bo called out twice, but she didn't turn back.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu slowly walked towards them, and as he walked, he activated the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
Life Without End!
For the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, which could regrow severed limbs, growing some hair was more than enough.
As he walked, a few strands of blue hair slowly grew from the top of his head.
By the time Ye Qiu reached Dugu Bo, he already had short, blue, messy hair.
After being baptized by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Ye Qiu's body had further developed. Much of the childishness on his face had disappeared, and his facial features became more defined, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.
"Senior Dugu, Ye Qiu has not failed his mission!"
"Good, good, good!"
Dugu Bo slapped Ye Qiu's shoulder heavily, exclaiming "good" three times, showing how excited he was.
"Senior! Tomorrow, I can make the antidote for you all!"
Ye Qiu also smiled, very satisfied with his gains this time.
Although Xiao Lan seemed to have absorbed a lot of the medicinal effect, his spirit power still reached level 26.
His second spirit ring was already slowly approaching a Ten Thousand Year spirit ring, and his physical fitness had greatly improved!
"Alright, alright, I'm not in a hurry for the antidote for a day or two. You're not going to run away, are you? It's the same if you make it after resting for a few more days!"
Dugu Bo led Ye Qiu towards the wooden house.
"I'm fine, I feel pretty good right now..."
"Hmph! You brat, you feel good soaking in the spring, but it's been hard on us, grandfather and granddaughter, watching day and night! I can't take it anymore!"
Ye Qiu scratched the back of his head.
"I'm sorry to have worried you, Senior. Why don't you go rest first!"
"What's the use of saying that to me? Go tell my Yan Yan! Hmph!"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly. He had already tried his best to pave the way, but this brat in front of him just wasn't getting the hint!
"Uh~ Hehe! Later, later I'll go!" Ye Qiu nodded helplessly.
"Don't wait, go now! I'm going to rest..."
Flicking his sleeve, Dugu Bo walked with a light step. Now that the antidote was available, one of his worries had been lifted.
Ye Qiu stood there woodenly, looking at Dugu Yan's darkened room, and raised his hand to stretch his neck twice.
"Sigh, let's see!"
He walked to Dugu Yan's door, raised his hand to knock, then hesitated.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Miss Dugu, Miss Dugu?"
Ye Qiu knocked a few times, but there was no movement, making him think she was still angry and unwilling to see him.
After waiting for a moment longer, there was still no movement.
Ye Qiu simply decided not to bother anymore; thanking her tomorrow would be the same.
"Hmm, uh..."
Passing by the window, Ye Qiu suddenly heard some faint groans of pain, which sounded somewhat familiar.
"Is it a poison backlash?"
Ye Qiu directly opened the window. In the dark room, a figure was curled up on the bed, trembling with pain.
Without hesitation, he used Divine Might to enter her room.
Lighting a few candles, Ye Qiu came to the bedside, looking at Dugu Yan, whose face was pale and whose forehead was covered in cold sweat.
He placed his hand on her shoulder, activating Life Without End and Blue Silver Fragrance to suppress the poison for her.
"Hmm~" Dugu Yan groaned in pain.
"Is the effect diminishing?"
Looking at her uncontrollably trembling body, Ye Qiu pondered for a moment.
He put his finger into his mouth, bit down hard, and a sweet, metallic taste filled his mouth.
He placed his finger to her lips, and fresh blood flowed down his fingertip, dripping into her mouth.
Blood containing the medicinal power of two Immortal Herbs was the best antidote for her.
Gradually, Dugu Yan's trembling body slowly calmed down, and her pale complexion also improved slightly.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Ye Qiu put his hands under her armpits, lifted her, and let her lean against the backrest.
He placed his hand on her forehead.
"Miss Dugu, how do you feel?"
"Much better, thank you..." Dugu Yan's face was a little flushed, and she lowered her gaze.
She pursed her lips; there was a strong metallic taste in her mouth. Frowning, she looked at Ye Qiu curiously.
"What did you feed me just now?"
"Antidote!"
Ye Qiu was indeed not lying. He originally planned to make it into a pill, as having someone drink blood was indeed a bit unpleasant...
"What antidote? Was it made so quickly?"
Facing Dugu Yan's intense gaze, Ye Qiu didn't know how to explain. If he told her it was his blood, he didn't know if she would cause more trouble.
He could only give a helpless smile, instinctively raising his hand to scratch his head.
"Hmm?"
Slap!
Dugu Yan grabbed Ye Qiu's hand and brought it to her eyes to look. There was clearly still a wound on his index finger.
"Uh, this, Miss Dugu, this antidote, it..."
"It what?" Dugu Yan frowned, looking at Ye Qiu coldly.
"Actually, it's my blood! If you mind, I can incorporate it into a pill tomorrow!"
"Why do you think I would mind?"
Dugu Yan's voice was a bit low, and she glared fiercely at Ye Qiu!
