Chapter 140, Bai Yifei's Illness (Bonus Chapter! Bonus Chapter! Please vote!)
Upon hearing Xu Qing call her name, Chao Nu Yao suddenly looked up at Xu Qing, her narrow, beautiful eyes slightly twitching.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since anyone had called her by her name. Since she was forced into the palace, she only had two names left: Chao Nu Yao and Mingzhu Furen.

The name Chao Shu was one that even her cousin Bai Yifei had forgotten, except for her.

Fortunately, now there are people who can call her by her name again.

"What did you call me?" the Tide Demoness asked, looking into Xu Qing's eyes.

"Shu'er," Xu Qing called out.

As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, Chao Nu Yao's lips gently covered his, kissing him passionately.

Feeling the slight trembling of the Tide Demoness's body, Xu Qing hugged her tightly.

He understood the hardships faced by Chao Nu Yao, who was sent to the Han King's palace at a young age and had to deal with various schemes and struggles from the concubines every day, the dangers of which were unimaginable to others.

In the midst of such struggles, she gradually became numb, forgetting the innocent little girl she once was, leaving only the powerful and ruthless Lady Mingzhu and the Tide Demoness.

Now that someone has called her by her real name again, the Tide Demoness must be finding it hard to control her emotions.

The succubus girl rested her slender arms on Xu Qing's chest, her small mouth opening and closing as she breathed roughly, and the flush that had just subsided rose again.

Those long, narrow, starry eyes shimmered with dazzling light, their alluring gazes filled with a smile.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."

"When my cousin was fighting against the Baiyue people, an accident caused problems with his cultivation technique, which affected his health. He could only suppress his illness by consuming blood."

“The more special the blood, the better it can suppress his illness, and Consort Hu has this special blood. I made a deal with her as soon as she entered the palace.”

“I helped her become a favored concubine, and she provided me with a certain amount of blood every month. I would then use this blood to make special medicines to alleviate his condition.”

"Now that you've eaten this vixen, her blood-activating properties have been greatly reduced, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress his condition in the future."

The trendy woman shrugged helplessly, then punched Xu Qing's chest twice. She had warned Xu Qing countless times not to actually eat Hu Meiren, but he still did.

Upon hearing this question, Xu Qing recalled the scene in the original novel where Bai Yifei drank women's blood, and Hu Meiren cut her neck and handed the medicine bottle containing blood to the Chao Nu Demon maid.

Now that he has made a move against Hu Meiren, Bai Yifei will definitely find out and it will affect their cooperation.

It seems it's time to bring out this miracle doctor and find a way to solve Bai Yifei's condition.

"I had planned to teach you the Baiyue Gu Technique during this time, hoping you could find a way to cure his illness. It's all your fault for acting too quickly, catching me completely off guard."

As the succubus spoke, she bit Xu Qing viciously, causing Xu Qing to gasp in pain.

After releasing Xu Qing, the Tide Demoness looked at the teeth marks she had made, blew on them gently, and revealed a satisfied expression.

"This is a lesson for you, to teach you a lesson for not listening to me." The alluring beauty of the woman gleamed with smugness as she gently stroked Xu Qing's face with her slender, jade-like fingers.

Xu Qing glanced at the teeth marks on her shoulder, feeling utterly helpless.

"You said it was an accident that caused a problem with his cultivation technique? What exactly was the accident? And what kind of cultivation technique was he practicing?" Xu Qing asked疑惑地.

In the original novel, Bai Yifei is also a mysterious figure, especially regarding his martial arts techniques and the reason for consuming blood, which are never explained in detail.

“I don’t know either, not even my cousin himself knows. The cultivation technique he practices is a family heirloom, so there shouldn’t be any problem with it.” “Back when he was in Baiyue, on the night the Baiyue royal city was breached, he suddenly went mad and only calmed down after accidentally drinking a woman’s blood.”

"If they do not drink blood for a period of time, they will not only go mad, but their blood and energy will also dry up."

"Moreover, the more special the blood, the better it can alleviate his condition. Among the people he encountered, the blood of Baiyue women was the most effective."

Chao Nu Yao looked solemn. She had considered how to solve Bai Yifei's physical problems, but in the end, she was helpless and couldn't even find the cause of his condition.

"It sounds similar to the Bat Blood Technique of Southern Xinjiang. Do you have your cousin's technique? Have you looked for the reason in terms of Gu techniques?" Xu Qing said thoughtfully.

He felt the biggest problem was Bai Yifei's cultivation technique, and secondly, he couldn't rule out the possibility that Bai Yifei might have been poisoned by a Gu in Baiyue.

The Baiyue region is home to many Gu masters, and all sorts of strange and unusual Gu techniques and poisons exist there.

Bai Yifei led his men to wipe out the Baiyue people and looted them completely. It's only natural that some people would hate the person who destroyed their homeland and use witchcraft to seek revenge.

“I know about the Bat Blood Technique, but my cousin’s cultivation method is not the Bat Blood Technique and has nothing to do with it. As for the Gu Technique, I have also tried it, but ultimately gained nothing.”

"That's why I wanted to teach you the art of Gu poison, so you could see if you could find a solution."

Chao Nuyao looked at Xu Qing with some anticipation. Xu Qing's reputation as a divine doctor was known throughout the world, and she believed that Xu Qing could solve this illness that left her helpless.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Qing looked at the Tide Demoness and said...

"I can only say I'll give it a try, but I'm afraid I'll need to see your cousin in person to find out the specifics."

Xu Qing never agrees to anything he's not sure about, let alone Bai Yifei's situation. He doesn't even know if it's caused by the cultivation technique, poison, or something else, so he can't give Chao Nu Yao any assurances.

"Okay, I believe you can do it," the Tide Fairy said with a slight nod.

"I will do my best," Xu Qing nodded and said.

Chao Nuyao did not ask Xu Qing for a definite guarantee. She also knew that Bai Yifei's problem was very troublesome, and it would be reasonable if Xu Qing was unable to help.

Before long, the trendy enchantress changed her clothes and looked coldly at Hu Meiren.

This time, out of respect for Xu Qing, she decided not to make things difficult for him.

"Humph~"

The Tide Demoness snorted coldly and strode away from the palace with her long, beautiful legs.

After the Tide Demoness left, Xu Qing went to the small couch, picked up Hu Meiren, and poured his vital inner energy into her body to help her detoxify.

A moment later, Hu Meiren slowly opened her eyes, feeling the warm current flowing through her body, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

Upon seeing Xu Qing, who was exchanging palm strikes with her in front of her, Hu Meiren's eyes instantly reddened, and tears streamed down her face.

"Xu Lang, that wicked woman didn't do anything to you, did she? It's my fault for dragging you down with her," Hu Meiren sobbed.

Seeing that Hu Meiren was alright, Xu Qing withdrew his inner force, pulled her into his arms, and began to comfort her.
