The first thing Youluo saw upon waking up was Lu Ye sitting cross-legged in front of her.

With one hand grasping her arm, there was a constant flow of alarming and chilling bluish-green being forcibly drawn away by his domineering Source Qi, entering his body.

"Master husband... are you insane?!"

Seeing this, Youluo was immediately frightened, turning pale. She quickly withdrew her arm and glared at Lu Ye.

"You're poisoned too, and now you're drawing my toxins... do you have a death wish?!"

Youluo thought for a moment, bit her lip, and said, "Reach out, I'll draw the poison back from you. With so much poison combined, you can't handle it!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye chuckled and said, "Do you think this is a game of make-believe?"

Suddenly, Youluo's voice rose sharply as she shouted, "Do you think this is a game?! If you save me and die... how am I supposed to repay such a huge debt of gratitude?!"

"Stop talking nonsense, stretch out your hand! While the toxin hasn't spread too much!"

Seeing that Lu Ye remained unmoved, Youluo became somewhat anxious.

She pounced forward, grabbed Lu Ye's arm, and tried to circulate her Source Qi to extract the toxin from his body.

However, when Youluo tried to reverse the flow and draw the toxin from Lu Ye's arm meridians, she was surprised to find... it was gone?!

Nothing there!

For a moment, the previously angered Youluo was utterly dumbfounded.

The toxins that were just absorbed suddenly disappeared like a clay ox into the sea?!

"Where did the toxins you absorbed go? Did you absorb them?!" Youluo's face turned pale. Once fully merged into the body...

Even the immortals would have trouble saving him.

"I have a special cultivation technique that can neutralize these toxins," Lu Ye said calmly. "Do I look like I'm poisoned to you?"

Youluo looked up...

Lu Ye's complexion showed no abnormality, unlike hers, where the bluish-green signs of poison were evident on her arm and face.

"But this poison is very potent, can you really withstand it?"

"Stop talking," Lu Ye said, "Lie down."

Youluo: "..."

Gazing at the suddenly serious Lu Ye, Youluo couldn't help but shiver internally. Despite wanting to say something, she didn't dare to speak further.

She obediently lay down on the straw in the wooden hut.

Lu Ye placed a hand on hers, and in an instant, strands of terrifying bluish-green poison transferred into Lu Ye's arm.

The next second, Youluo saw Lu Ye's entire arm turning blue at a speed visible to the naked eye. Just as her heart started to rise in worry, the blue color receded like the tide.

"?"

Does he really have a way to resolve these toxins?!

After a while, Youluo looked at his fully recovered arm in disbelief.

The sinister poison methods laid by Yin Wuya were dissolved just like that?

"They should have had the corresponding Antitoxic Pills, but they consumed them in advance. Otherwise, they couldn't have stayed unaffected in the Fog Forest," Lu Ye said coolly, retracting his hand.

"Thank you... Are you really okay?" Youluo expressed gratitude and asked again.

"No problem, this poison isn't as hard to neutralize as you imagine. Even if I didn't help you detoxify, given your strength, you could have slowly expelled it over a few days, though it would take some time," Lu Ye said.

"It's possible to expel it, but it would take a lot of effort," Youluo said, somewhat puzzled. "Others are eager to magnify their achievements... Why do you, Master husband, like to downplay yours?"

"Because..." Lu Ye smiled and said calmly, "Maybe it's because I'm from a place with a long cultural heritage."

"You are indeed different from others," Youluo said, closely watching Lu Ye's face. "Initially, I asked you to leave, and you didn't. Instead, you sought out Yin Wuya. At that time, I thought you were arrogant, not knowing how terrifying Yin Wuya was."

"Later, I realized that you weren't arrogant; you were confident. You actually... had the ability to kill Yin Wuya!"

Confident but not arrogant, helping without claiming credit, and being quite humble. Youluo considered that she had met many people, but few were like this young man in plain clothes in front of her.

With a light smile, Lu Ye said, "Rest for now, regain some strength, and then leave."

Upon hearing this, Youluo nodded and immediately sat down to recover.

Lu Ye then walked out of the abandoned hunter's rest hut, coming outside and taking out a square box.

The old man sealed inside had fallen into a deep sleep ever since Lu Ye acted and killed the Blood Evil Sect Leader and Cyan Thunder Sect Supreme Elder earlier.

During this time, Lu Ye occasionally tried to communicate, but there was no response.

"Could it be scared by my Heaven-Defying Second Technique on that day?"

Shaking his head, Lu Ye put the box away. He initially wanted to let Xiao Ling out to get some fresh air, but the Storage Ring couldn't store living things.

If he suddenly pulled out a living creature, it would certainly surprise Youluo. So, he could only let it stay in the Myriad Dao Pavilion.

...

Meanwhile, in Luohua City, within the Chen Family.

Chen Lingxiang emerged from the secret chamber, having just ended a seclusion since returning from Cloud Leaf City.

She had noticeably advanced further within the Innate Fourth Layer Realm.

Originally planning to return to her courtyard for a relaxing bath, a figure suddenly flashed through Chen Lingxiang's mind as she passed by the family hall.

After thinking about it, she turned and headed towards the hall.

In the hall, Patriarch Chen Dingxing was sitting and drinking tea. Seeing his daughter enter, he was somewhat surprised: "Lingxiang, you're out of seclusion?"

Looking at Chen Lingxiang, whose aura was much stronger than it was before she secluded herself, Chen Dingxing felt a trace of pride.

"It seems you gained something this time in seclusion. If you lack any resources, just let your father know."

She was the most promising gem of the Chen Family, with the best chance to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster!

"Thank you, father. I have enough resources for now. If I need more, I'll come to you," Chen Lingxiang said, pausing for a moment before continuing, "I've come to discuss something with you."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Chen Dingxing asked curiously.

Chen Lingxiang had always been the most outstanding member of the family, who never needed to worry about much except her cultivation.

Since Chen Lingxiang said there was something to discuss, Chen Dingxing paid serious attention.

If it was important enough for his daughter to mention, it surely wasn't a trivial matter.

After biting her lip slightly and contemplating in silence for a while, Chen Lingxiang finally spoke, "If your daughter has someone she fancies, how would the family view it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dingxing was briefly stunned. Does she have someone in her heart?

The City Lord's Mansion's Wu Jun had fervently pursued his daughter before.

But Lingxiang had shown absolutely no interest in Wu Jun, never even giving him a friendly face.

Besides that, he hadn't noticed her getting close to any young talents from notable families.

So how did this romantic interest suddenly arise?
