177: Chapter 177 Caiyue Opens Her Mouth!

An incredibly scorching sensation instantly spread, like scalding lava surging into his blood vessels and flowing through his limbs and bones!

His Meridians felt as if they were about to catch fire!

The Dragon Yang Body is indeed one of the top-tier spiritual physiques in the Cultivation World!

Even though it was only plundered from Xiao Caiyue's extremely weakened Dragon Pearl, the quality of its Origin was still far beyond the ordinary!

However, at the very moment the Dragon Pearl was being plundered—

Sensing its Origin being stolen, the Golden Dragon Shadow instantly flew into a rage!

It let out a world-shaking dragon roar, doing its utmost to break free from the Moonlight Phoenix's constraints and return to protect its master!

How could the Moonlight Phoenix let it have its way?

The Phoenix cried out, its wings suddenly snapping shut!

The moonlight power that had merely been entangling and binding it instantly tightened, transforming into physical chains that locked the Golden Dragon Shadow firmly in place!

The dragon shadow struggled frantically, but could not move an inch!

For a moment, the roars of the dragon and the cries of the Phoenix clashed violently once more within Xiao Caiyue's Dantian!

The two Origin phantoms began to slaughter each other madly inside her body!

"Ugh—Husband... Husband...!"

Xiao Caiyue curled up in agony.

Within her Dantian, two powerful Origins were fighting fiercely; every collision brought a violent tremor.

Meanwhile, her own Dragon Pearl was being frantically plundered by those Yin Yang Flood Dragons...

Under the assault from both inside and out, she felt as if she were being torn to pieces!

That pain far exceeded any previous treatment!

Her body trembled violently; her face was flushed like peach blossoms, her eyes were hazy with desire, yet tears kept rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

She gasped for air, her chest heaving heavily, while her jade-like legs instinctively wrapped tighter, like a drowning person clutching at a final piece of driftwood.

"Hus...band... it hurts... it hurts so much..."

She leaned against Ye Changge's shoulder, letting out broken whimpers, her voice hoarse and tearful.

Hearing this, Ye Changge's heart ached for her.

That voice was too pitiful.

That trembling body was too fragile.

He knew the pain she was enduring now was far beyond his imagination.

But he also knew he couldn't stop.

If he stopped now, not only would all previous efforts be wasted, but the half-plundered Dragon Pearl would become even more violent, causing her even greater harm.

Better a short, sharp pain than a long, lingering one!

Ye Changge gritted his teeth, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

He abruptly activated the Yin Yang Guiding Art!

Receiving the command, the Yin Yang Flood Dragons suddenly exerted force, their massive maws snapping shut!

*Crack—*

A faint cracking sound, perceivable only through Divine Sense, rang out within Xiao Caiyue's Dantian!

The already weakened Dragon Pearl actually had a large chunk of its Origin bitten off!

A wisp of golden Origin as thick as a thumb was swallowed by the flood dragon and forcibly dragged out!

"Ah—!"

Xiao Caiyue could no longer hold it back; a tearful scream erupted from deep within her throat!

Her body arched sharply before collapsing heavily back into Ye Changge's arms, trembling violently like a candle flickering in the wind.

Ye Changge did not stop.

Strike while it was weak to finish it off!

This was the best opportunity; if he missed it and the Dragon Pearl regained its strength, plundering it again would be difficult!

He activated the Secret Art with all his might, and the Yin Yang Flood Dragons, like hungry tigers pouncing on prey, began to madly devour the Dragon Pearl's Origin bite by bite!

One wisp.

Two wisps.

Three wisps.

...

Ten wisps.

...

More and more golden Origin was torn from the Dragon Pearl by the flood dragons, continuously surging into Ye Changge's body!

The Dragon Pearl dimmed at a visible rate, its rotation speed slowing down more and more...

And the Golden Dragon Shadow, sensing a massive loss of its Origin, went completely berserk!

It struggled with all its might, its dragon roars shaking the heavens, faintly showing signs of breaking free from the Moonlight Phoenix's restraint!

The Moonlight Phoenix suppressed it firmly, its Phoenix cries equally urgent, clearly reaching its limit as well!

The two Origins engaged in a final life-and-death struggle within Xiao Caiyue's Dantian!

"Wooo—Husband—!"

Xiao Caiyue was in so much pain that her consciousness began to blur.

She only knew that she was in great pain.

Deep within her Dantian, it felt as if something was being forcibly stripped away.

The pain came in wave after wave, continuous and endless.

She could only cling to Ye Changge, burying her face in the crook of his neck, calling his name over and over.

"Husband... Husband... Husband..."

That voice grew weaker and hoarser, filled with endless grievance and dependence.

Ye Changge felt a great pang of sorrow in his heart.

He knew he couldn't continue any longer.

If he kept plundering, Xiao Caiyue's body probably wouldn't be able to take it.

With a thought, the Yin Yang Flood Dragons finally released their hold and stopped the plundering.

But the struggle inside Xiao Caiyue's body had not yet ceased.

The Golden Dragon Shadow and the Moonlight Phoenix were still in a life-and-death battle!

Ye Changge dared not be careless and waved his hand—

Countless Talismans flew out of his sleeve like butterflies flitting through flowers, instantly surrounding the two of them!

"Ten Thousand Woods Spring Radiance Formation, Activate!"

A soft green light flourished!

Those countless Spring Brilliance Talismans lit up simultaneously, their majestic life force gathering into a sea of green light that enveloped the two of them!

The green light fell like spring rain, seeping into Xiao Caiyue's body thread by thread.

At the same time, Ye Changge flipped his palm, and a warm Medicinal Pill appeared.

It was something he had specifically refined over the past few days—the Spirit-Nurturing Nourishing Origin Elixir.

This pill was refined from various precious Spirit Medicines; its effect was to nourish the Dantian and stabilize the Origin, making it most suitable for Xiao Caiyue's current condition.

He gently brought the pill to Xiao Caiyue's lips and whispered:

"Caiyue, open your mouth."

Though her consciousness was blurred, she still instinctively obeyed him and slightly opened her mouth.

The pill dissolved the moment it entered her mouth, turning into a warm current that flowed down her throat and into her stomach, quickly being absorbed by her body.

Wherever the warm current passed, it brought a comfortable, moist sensation.

The Meridians inside her body that had been damaged by the plundering gradually began to recover under the nourishment of this warm current.

Meanwhile, the Ten Thousand Woods Spring Radiance Formation outside continued to shower her with life force, nourishing her body.

Under the combined effects from inside and out, Xiao Caiyue's trembling finally began to subside.

She gasped heavily, slumped weakly in Ye Changge's arms, unable to muster even a shred of strength.

Ye Changge held her tightly, his palm pressed against her back as he slowly channeled a stream of gentle spiritual energy to help her calm her chaotic breath.

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear:

"It's all right, Caiyue, it's all right."

"The hardest part is over."

Xiao Caiyue leaned against his shoulder, panting heavily; it took a long, long time before she finally gathered enough strength.

Her voice was hoarse and tearful:

"Husband... Husband..."

She called his name over and over, as if only by doing so could she confirm she was still alive and still in his arms.

Ye Changge's heart softened, and he held her even tighter, continuing to soothe her carefully.

"I'm here."

"I'm here."

He whispered in her ear, over and over.

"Caiyue, it's all right."

Xiao Caiyue finally calmed down slowly.
