177: Chapter 177 Treatment Methods

That delicate cry echoed with exceptional clarity within the empty hall.

Xiao Ruoxue bit her lip hard, and a trace of bright red blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

She squeezed her eyes shut, not daring to look at the white-robed youth who was inches away.

That scalding power of Origin followed Su Yun's fingertips, crashing through her brow in an absolutely domineering manner.

In her withered Meridians, the extreme cold ice poison that had been entrenched for a hundred years encountered its natural enemy, emitting bursts of tooth-aching cracking sounds.

[Ding! The host is reshaping the target's Law circuit.]

[Detected backlash from the Extreme Cold Great Dao Origin. It is recommended to exchange for 'Yin-Yang Creation Origin Induction Technique,' consuming five hundred thousand luck points.]

The System's notification panel quickly flashed across his Sea of Consciousness.

With a thought, Su Yun deducted the luck points.

A massive stream of information instantly merged into his limbs and bones. This secret technique was born specifically for repairing high-level Physiques, emphasizing the harmony of Yin and Yang.

It required extremely intimate physical contact as a medium, using special techniques to drive the Heavenly Dao Origin inch by inch into the target's vital points and fatal apertures.

Su Yun withdrew his finger from Xiao Ruoxue's brow.

Losing her support, Xiao Ruoxue's legs completely lost their strength, and she slumped down into the ice-cold water.

The snow-white light gauze clinging to her body was completely soaked through, leaving her exquisite, undulating curves fully exposed.

"Go to the bed." Su Yun looked down at her, his tone brook no argument.

Xiao Ruoxue wrapped her arms around her shoulders, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably from extreme shame and indignation.

But the scalding vitality wandering through her Meridians was frantically clamoring with a desire for this Origin.

She propped herself up on the white marble floor tiles and stood up.

Swaying with every step, she walked to the wide bed carved from Mind-Concentrating Cold Jade.

"Lie face down." Su Yun followed her and sat on the edge of the jade bed.

Xiao Ruoxue bent her knees and, with her back to Su Yun, lay face down on the wide bed surface as if resigning herself to fate.

Her cheeks were buried deep within her crossed arms.

Su Yun reached out with both hands, his fingertips glowing with a faint golden light.

That was pure vitality transformed by the Yin-Yang Creation Origin Induction Technique.

His hands landed precisely on the major spinal acupuncture points on Xiao Ruoxue's back.

Boom.

Xiao Ruoxue's body jerked violently.

An extreme sensation of numbness, accompanied by bone-piercing pain, instantly exploded from her spine and rushed straight to the top of her head.

This sensation completely subverted her understanding.

The pain from the cold poison, which was originally enough to tear her Soul apart, transformed under the kneading of Su Yun's fingertips into a strange, pleasant comfort that made her want to curl up.

Su Yun's technique did not pause for a second.

The pads of his fingers pushed downward inch by inch along her smooth back.

At times he pressed heavily on her life gate, and at others, he lightly brushed over various fatal apertures.

The domineering power of Origin turned into a heat wave, forcibly breaking through the frozen Meridians.

It crushed the fragmented Frost Laws within her body bit by bit, then used the Heavenly Dao Origin to reassemble and sew them back together.

"Ugh..." Xiao Ruoxue bit through her lower lip, but in the end, she still couldn't suppress the low moan in her throat.

The air temperature around the jade bed rose sharply.

The ice water evaporated, and mist filled the air.

The entire hall was shrouded in a dim, ambiguous light.

In the silent space, only the sound of skin rubbing and the two people's gradually quickening, synchronized breathing remained.

Looking at the fair skin beneath his fingertips that was flushing a deep red, Su Yun leaned down, his nose almost touching Xiao Ruoxue's earlobe.

"Frozen for a hundred years, only able to cling to life by consuming fire-attribute Medicinal Pills every night of the full moon."

Su Yun's voice was very low, carrying a just-right hint of magnetism and pity.

"Everyone on this Divine Mountain relies on your martial power, but no one cares if you are in pain or not."

Xiao Ruoxue's back stiffened, and her breathing halted for half a second.

For a hundred years, she had been the high and mighty Ice Mountain Fairy of the Divine Mountain.

All her clansmen would kneel in fear when they saw her. She was used to using absolute logic to measure the Family's interests, but she had long forgotten that she was also a living person.

"Those fragmented Laws were originally shackles that the Family forcibly placed on you just to create a Half-step Immortal King."

Su Yun's fingertips slid over the small of her back, triggering a violent shudder.

Su Yun continued to whisper, every word striking her psychological defenses which were on the verge of collapse.

"From now on, these shackles, I will remove them for you. Your Dao, I will pave. If the heavens fall, I will hold them up."

This sentence directly smashed through the weakness of Xiao Ruoxue's hundred years of loneliness.

The corners of her eyes, buried in the crook of her arm, instantly reddened. Tears burst forth, wetting the cold jade bed.

Her previously tranquil Dao Heart suffered a violent upheaval.

In the depths of the hall.

Behind a thick pillar carved with a coiled dragon.

Zi Yun stood quietly in the shadows.

She watched the entangled figures on the jade bed with a cold eye.

Far from showing any signs of jealousy, a morbid smile instead curled at the corners of her mouth.

She raised her right hand and tapped her index finger on her brow.

A seductive purple light instantly surged in the depths of her pupils.

Ancient Secret Technique: Seven Emotions and Six Desires Heart-Eroding Induction.

This was an extremely malicious spiritual poison.

Colorless and formless.

It could infinitely amplify the most secret greed and dependence deep within the victim's heart.

Zi Yun precisely peeled off a sliver of this secret technique's power.

Using the aura of Su Yun's Origin scattered in the air as cover, she silently sent it into Xiao Ruoxue's Sea of Consciousness.

She wasn't trying to control Xiao Ruoxue.

She was just giving her a push.

She took those few heart-stirring words Su Yun had just spoken and engraved them like a steel seal into Xiao Ruoxue's subconscious, amplifying them ten thousand times.

"Fall obediently. Those by my husband's side must be one hundred percent loyal."

Zi Yun silently moved her lips, took half a step back, and completely merged into the darkness.

On the jade bed at the center of the Formation.

The collapse of the defenses happened in an instant.

The moment the secret technique entered her body, the last trace of wariness in Xiao Ruoxue's eyes completely dissipated.

In its place was an extreme craving for that scalding Origin and a blind dependence on this man who understood her pain.

She involuntarily twisted her waist.

No longer resisting, she instead actively catered to the pressure of Su Yun's fingertips.

She opened herself up completely, allowing the other party to gallop freely within her Meridians.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Yun withdrew his hands, and the golden light on his fingertips dissipated.

He let out a long breath.

This set of techniques was extremely taxing on the mind.

Even he had broken out in a thin layer of sweat.

Xiao Ruoxue lay limply on the bed, powerless.

Her snow-white skin was covered in fine beads of sweat.

Large patches of foul-smelling black ice crystals were expelled from her pores, turning into nothingness the moment they touched the air.

That was the dead-knot cold poison being completely forced out of her body.

She slowly sat up, pulling up the slipped light gauze with both hands to cover her chest.

She lowered her head to inspect her Qi Sea.

The cold poison that had been entrenched in her heart Meridians for a hundred years had actually been cleared by thirty percent in one go.

What shocked her even more was that the cultivation barrier that had been stagnant for over a hundred years now had a very conspicuous crack in it.

A complete and pure Frost Law circuit was extending from her spine to her limbs and bones.

She could actually sense the threshold of the Immortal King realm.

She raised her head and looked at Su Yun with a complicated gaze.

The youth before her looked as usual, playing with a thumb-sized piece of top-grade Immortal Crystal.

The experience just now, interwoven with intense pain and extreme pleasure, along with the domineering promise in her ear, fell like a spark onto the wasteland of her hundred-year-old frozen heart.

Her killing intent had vanished without a trace, and her humiliation had also dissipated.

What welled up from the bottom of her heart was a gratitude that made even her own heart race, as well as a trace of extremely secret affection.

"That is all for today."

Su Yun crushed the Immortal Crystal into powder, not looking at her.

"Your dao injury is deep-seated and difficult to reverse. Every three days, come here at the hour of the Rat. Within a month, I will help you step into the Immortal King realm."

Xiao Ruoxue nodded silently.

She raised her right hand, and the ice-attribute Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth instantly poured back in.

It was no longer a fragmented, tearing sensation, but a smoothness as if it were an extension of her own arm.

The ice-blue long dress re-materialized on her body, covering all the exposed skin.

She stood up, her legs still weak.

She forced herself to walk to the broken sandalwood door of the hall.

The extreme cold astral wind outside blew against her face again.

But it could no longer freeze her currently scalding body temperature.

She stepped over the threshold.

Her footsteps paused slightly.

As if uncontrollably, she turned her head and, through the dim lamplight of the hall, took a deep look at Su Yun sitting on the edge of the jade bed.

In this look, her eyes rippled with emotion, wanting to speak but holding back.

Where was there even a hint of the Divine Mountain's cold Ice Mountain Fairy? She looked exactly like a lady from a secluded chamber who had just received her husband's favor.

She bit her lip and stayed no longer, turning into a streak of ice-blue light that shot into the night sky.

Qifeng Pavilion returned to a deathly silence.

Su Yun sat on the bed and clapped his hands.

Zi Yun ran out light-footedly from the shadows.

She skillfully knelt by Su Yun's legs and looked up, seeking praise.

"Husband, was my cooperation good just now? That big ice sculpture must have her head full of you now."

Su Yun reached out and pinched Zi Yun's chin, a calculating light flashing in his eyes. "You did well."

Right at this moment.

On the outskirts of Qifeng Pavilion.

At a gap in the Formation that had been destroyed by the absolute zero temperature.

An extremely weak Divine Sense fluctuation flashed and vanished.

Deep within a rockery a hundred feet away.

A Divine Mountain Prodigy wearing a cloud-patterned Daoist robe tightly covered his mouth.

His whole body was pressed against the cold rock wall, shaking like a sieve.

In his right hand, he tightly clutched a Recording Stone.

Just now, he had originally wanted to investigate the Goddess's true situation.

But he had seen a scene enough to cause a massive earthquake throughout the Upper Realm.

The high and mighty, cold-blooded Ruoxue Fairy.

Had actually walked out of that Lower Realm Mortal's bedchamber with her clothes in disarray and a look of spring on her face.

Even a fool could see what was hidden in that look she gave before leaving.

"Something big has happened... something earth-shattering has happened..."

The Prodigy's teeth chattered, but his eyes surged with extreme excitement and malice.

"The two beauties of the Xiao Family have both become the playthings of this Lower Realm mongrel! The Divine Mountain has completely fallen."

He stuffed the Recording Stone into his storage ring.

He took a look in the direction of Tianshu Palace.

"I must immediately report this to Young Lord Ye Wuhun. No matter what madness the Old Ancestor is up to, Tianshu Palace will absolutely not tolerate this kind of thing happening!"

He held his breath and stuck to the shadows.

Like a street rat, he rapidly fled toward a secret stronghold on the outskirts of the Divine Mountain.

Inside Qifeng Pavilion.

Su Yun picked up a cup of spiritual tea handed over by Zi Yun and took a light sip.

His deep gaze passed through the broken door and landed on that figure fleeing in panic.

He unhurriedly placed the teacup on the side table.

"Go and spread the news to Tianshu Palace's secret agents," Su Yun said.

Zi Yun was taken aback for a moment, then she reacted, and a bloodthirsty excitement welled up in her eyes.

"Husband, you let him go on purpose? Are you going to take action against the people from Tianshu Palace?"

Su Yun leaned back in his chair.

"The pigpen has been quiet for too long. One must let a wild dog in so that these pigs will know how to grow fat."
