57: Chapter 57 Spring is Growing Stronger

Left punch, right punch.

Each punch that landed was accompanied by Baili Yunche's angry roar.

Jiang Chen's face constantly distorted within the shadows of the punches, twisting to the left one moment, then to the right the next.

Who knows how long he punched for.

Baili Yunche finally stopped.

At this moment, Jiang Chen had long since stopped breathing.

His face was no longer recognizable, his entire head swollen like a pig's head, and the ground was covered in Jiang Chen's blood and bits of flesh.

"Junior Brother Baili Yunche! Stop hitting him! He's already dead!"

Su Bingqing's voice came from behind, filled with a touch of urgency, "Come quickly and save me!"

Baili Yunche finally came back to his senses, threw away Jiang Chen's corpse, and turned to run to Su Bingqing's side.

"Senior Sister Su! What's wrong with you?"

He knelt down and caught the swaying Su Bingqing, but was startled the moment he touched her.

Her body was frighteningly hot; he could feel that abnormal heat even through her clothing.

Her cheeks were flushed crimson, her breathing was rapid, her gaze was unfocused, and she looked as if she were being roasted over a fire.

"Why is your face so hot? Your body is also so hot?"

Baili Yunche asked anxiously.

Su Bingqing leaned into his embrace, her voice weak and rapid: "Junior Brother Baili Yunche! I... I was fed yin-yang hehuan powder by that Jiang Chen."

"Check their Storage Pouch to see if there is an antidote. Quickly... give it to me..."

"Okay! You wait, I'll go check right now!"

Baili Yunche carefully propped her against a tree, turned and ran to Jiang Chen's corpse, ripped the Storage Pouch from his waist, and dumped all its contents out.

Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, Magical Artifacts, Talismans... miscellaneous items scattered all over the ground.

He searched through them frantically, but there was no antidote of any kind.

In fact, he knew very well that there was simply no antidote for this stuff.

Xu Yuehuan had been afflicted with yin-yang hehuan powder back then.

He had researched relevant information; this aphrodisiac poison was extremely overbearing. Once it entered the body, unless Yin and Yang were joined, it was fundamentally impossible to cure.

Those so-called antidotes were merely auxiliary items for relief; they treated the symptoms but not the root cause.

"Senior Sister Su, I searched through all of Jiang Chen's things... I didn't find any antidote."

Upon hearing this, Su Bingqing's face turned even paler.

She had been Cultivating for over twenty years and was long past being a rookie new to the Immortal Realm; naturally, she knew the infamous reputation of yin-yang hehuan powder.

If there was no antidote for this aphrodisiac poison, then there was only one way to detoxify it.

"Ah... then what should we do?"

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzzing, her eyes darting away, not daring to look at Baili Yunche, "Could it be... that we really have to..."

She couldn't finish her sentence.

She was a woman, and her chastity was more important than her life.

How could she bring herself to say such things?

"Junior Brother Baili Yunche..."

She raised her head and looked at Baili Yunche, her eyes filled with struggle and shame.

Her consciousness was already beginning to blur, and the fire inside her body was burning hotter and hotter, burning her to the point of losing her reason.

Baili Yunche did not delay, quickly ripping the Storage Pouches from the waists of the three Jiang Chen companions, and then stowed the massive corpse of the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon into his own.

The Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon was a treasure from head to toe—its scales could be used to refine defensive Magical Artifacts, its bones could be used to craft offensive Spiritual Artifacts, and its blood was an excellent Material for practicing the Ten Thousand Demons Body Refining Technique; it must not be wasted.

After finishing all this, he turned and returned to Su Bingqing's side.

Su Bingqing was almost unable to hold on any longer.

She leaned against a tree trunk, her cheeks flushed as red as blood, her breathing rapid and chaotic, and her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

Those eyes, usually as cold and clear as water, were now veiled in a hazy mist, and she kept writhing her body.

"Junior Brother Baili Yunche... I feel so uncomfortable..."

Her voice was hoarse and trembling, carrying a pain suppressed to the extreme.

Baili Yunche no longer hesitated and scooped her up.

Su Bingqing's arms unconsciously wrapped around his neck, her scorching cheek pressed against his chest; he could hear her rapid heartbeat, thump-thump-thump, fast enough to feel like it was about to burst.

"Senior Sister Su, hold on a little longer."

Baili Yunche said in a low voice, unfolding his figure and darting toward the depths of the mountain forest.

Soon, he found a hidden cave on a cliff face.

The entrance was not large, hidden by a few old trees and vines; if one weren't looking carefully, it would be impossible to discover.

He pushed aside the vines and dashed inside while holding Su Bingqing.

The space inside the cave was not large, but it was enough to accommodate two people. The ground was dry, and there was some withered grass in the corner, looking like the abandoned lair of some wild beast.

Baili Yunche gently placed Su Bingqing on the withered grass, turned to set a few simple Restrictions at the cave entrance, and then took out a Formation Plate to activate it; a pale white light screen sealed the entrance.

After doing all this, he returned to Su Bingqing's side.

At this moment, Su Bingqing had completely succumbed.

Her clothing was already in disarray from her earlier struggle; her outer robe had slipped off at some point, revealing the moon-white undergarment beneath.

Her body kept writhing, and her hands unconsciously tore at her own collar, as if she felt something was choking her.

"Hot... so hot..."

She muttered, her voice slurred and unclear.

Baili Yunche knelt down, took hold of her hands, and called out softly: "Senior Sister Su, Senior Sister Su, can you hear me?"

Su Bingqing's eyes slightly focused, seeing the person before her.

A flash of struggle, a flash of shame, and a flash of... indescribable desire crossed her eyes.

"Junior Brother... Baili Yunche..."

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzzing, and every word seemed to use up all her strength, "I... I can't hold on anymore... give it to me quickly!"

Baili Yunche took a deep breath.

"Senior Sister Su, I am sorry."

"After you wake up, you can hit me or scold me as you please. But I cannot watch you die."

He reached out and gently removed his outer robe.

A flash of shyness crossed Su Bingqing's eyes, but it was quickly swallowed by that burning flame.

She was like a stranded fish, desperately seeking a water source, and her hands unconsciously climbed onto his shoulders.

Baili Yunche lowered his head and kissed her lips.

In that instant, Su Bingqing's body stiffened violently, then immediately melted like ice and snow, and her entire body went limp.

...

It must be said that Su Bingqing's figure was extremely enchanting.

Her beauty was completely different from Liu Ruyan's.

Liu Ruyan had that mature, alluring, and bewitchingly moving beauty, like a blooming datura flower—vibrant and dangerous, making people afraid to approach yet unable to resist wanting to pluck it.

While Su Bingqing had that gentle, water-like, elegant, and orchid-like beauty, like a white lotus in a deep mountain valley—pure and gentle, making people unable to resist wanting to cherish her.

At this moment, this white lotus was blooming in his arms.

Su Bingqing felt the strangeness coming from her body; she first let out a suppressed cry of surprise, which then turned into intermittent moans.

The sound was like the whimper of a kitten, soft and lingering, echoing within the cave.

Baili Yunche was already intimately familiar with this matter.

He applied the same methods he had used on Liu Ruyan to Su Bingqing once again.

But this time, his movements were much gentler, no longer as unbridled as before.

Inside the cave, the spring atmosphere thickened.
