The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

Hearing familiar footsteps and smelling Luo Ge's unique orchid fragrance!

Jin Xi slowly raised her eyes, a wicked smile playing on her lips, her voice languidly husky:

"Sister Luoge, what brings you here? Is there something important?"

Luo Ge stood in front of the screen!

Looking at the figure that was faintly visible in the bathtub.

The pungent smell of blood filled his nostrils, causing him to furrow his brow and speak with deep concern:

Jinxi, are you alright?

"It's just a medicinal bath, what could possibly happen?"

Jin Xi chuckled lightly, her voice carrying a hint of nonchalance.

"Sister Luoge, please wait a moment, I'll be right out."

After a while.

A rustling sound came from behind the screen.

Jin Xi walked out wearing a loose white nightgown, the belt of which was deliberately left untied, revealing the crisscrossing scars on her chest.

Luo Ge was caught off guard by this scene!

Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly covered her eyes, turning away in a panic, saying repeatedly:

"I didn't see anything! Hurry up and put your clothes on!"

Jin Xi didn't care at all!

He slowly walked to a chair and sat down.

His right hand was clenched into a fist, and the poisonous blood mixed with the medicine stuck stickily to his fingertips, slowly seeping out between his fingers.

He watched Luo Ge cover her eyes and turn away, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. He deliberately dragged out his words, adding a playful touch:

"Sister Luoge, what brings you here so late at night?"

"Could it be... that you also want to serve me a bath, or perhaps, stay and warm my bed?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Ge felt both ashamed and angry. She abruptly lowered her hands from her eyes, turned around, and glared at him.

But when her gaze fell upon the scar on his chest and saw the black blood seeping from his clenched right fist, all her anger turned into tension.

She strode forward, stood before Jin Xi, and without a word, grabbed his wrist, her voice softening with deep concern:

"The sect leader asked me to check if there is anything wrong with your body."

"Could you open your hand and let me see it?"

Jin Xi looked at the undisguised worry in her eyes, and the smile on her lips faded slightly.

He paused for a moment, then slowly loosened his clenched fist.

Luo Ge frowned as she watched the purplish-black poisonous blood slowly writhing in Jin Xi's palm.

The poisonous blood clung to the charred wound, emitting a cold, sweet, and foul odor, exactly like the eerie smell she had detected in the alchemy pavilion.

"This is……"

Luo Ge's voice fell silent, no longer carrying any hint of mockery.

She could clearly feel the violent power contained in the poisonous blood eroding Jinxi's meridians.

Jinxi's palm was spread out in front of her, the wounds gruesome and terrifying.

Looking at Luo Ge's solemn expression, the usual playful smile on his lips finally faded, replaced by a calm mixed with exhaustion and self-deprecation.

"It seems the sect leader really made the right decision to send you here."

Jin Xi did not withdraw her hand.

"This poison pill is even more potent than I imagined."

"It not only injured my hand, but also crawled into my flesh along the veins."

Luo Ge didn't speak; she carefully probed a wisp of spiritual energy into Jin Xi's palm.

However, the moment that spiritual power came into contact with the purplish-black poisonous blood, it vanished like a mud ox sinking into the sea, and was even backfired by that sinister power, causing her fingertips to go numb.

She was startled and quickly withdrew her spiritual power.

"Don't waste your efforts."

Jin Xi chuckled softly, but this time the smile lacked any frivolity; it contained only a hint of helplessness.

"This is a poison pill that specifically corrodes spiritual energy."

"If it weren't for my special physical condition, this hand and the entire arm would have been ruined long ago for anyone else."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ge was even more horrified.

Looking at Jinxi's pale face, she finally understood why Shuangyue sighed and why she was worried.

Jin Xi's actions in the Alchemy Pavilion were not impulsive at all, but rather a risky act of testing poison on himself.

"you……"

Luo Ge opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Her previous prejudices against Jin Xi seemed so pale and laughable in the face of the shocking injuries before her eyes.

"Sister Luoge, go back and tell the sect leader."

Jin Xi slowly withdrew her hand, clenched it into a fist again, and held the ball of poisonous blood tightly in her palm.

“I’ll tell you, I, Jin Xi, am tough as nails and won’t die so easily.”

"This little injury is nothing to me."

Looking at his nonchalant demeanor, Luo Ge felt an even stronger pang of bitterness and guilt in her heart.

She bit her lower lip and suddenly reached into the hidden pocket of her sleeve.

"you……"

Just as Jin Xi was about to make a joke, she saw Luo Ge take out a small white jade porcelain bottle.

"This is……"

Jin Xi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Blood Stasis and Stasis Removal Powder"

Luo Ge unscrewed the bottle stopper and commanded:

"Jinxi! Hold out your hand."

"Apply the medicine!"

Looking at her serious expression, Jin Xi ultimately couldn't bring herself to say "No need to trouble yourself."

He paused for a moment, then slowly opened his tightly clenched right fist.

The wound on his palm was still gruesome.

The purplish-black poisonous blood slowly writhed between the charred flesh, emitting a nauseating stench.

Luo Ge crouched down to bring herself to Jin Xi's eye level.

Then, he carefully sprinkled the jade-white powder in his palm, little by little, evenly onto the purplish-black poisonous blood.

The instant the powder came into contact with the poisoned blood!!

Zhila! !

A piercing corrosive sound suddenly rang out, accompanied by a plume of black smoke.

The previously docile mass of purplish-black poisonous blood suddenly began to churn violently, as if it had been thrown into a boiling oil pot!

It even slid an inch upwards along Jinxi's wrist, and wherever it passed, the skin instantly turned a strange bluish-purple.

"Uh……"

Jin Xi's body stiffened abruptly.

His face instantly turned deathly pale, veins bulged on his forehead, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.

He gritted his teeth and didn't utter a sound!

But the hand that Luo Ge was holding was trembling violently and uncontrollably.

"Jin Xi!"

Luo Ge exclaimed in surprise and tried to let go, but Jin Xi grabbed her hand in return.

"No...don't let go..."

Jinxi's voice was squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with extreme pain.

But his crimson eyes were fixed intently on Luo Ge.

There was no resentment in his eyes, only an almost fanatical persistence.

"Press...on my pulse point...don't let the poison...run wild..."

Seeing his pained expression, Luo Ge felt as if her heart had been clenched by something.

Without further hesitation, she quickly reached out her other hand and pressed down on Jin Xi's wrist pulse point, carefully channeling her spiritual energy into it to help him suppress the rampant poison gas.

The white powder worked wonders on the wound, engaging in a fierce tug-of-war with the purplish-black poisonous blood.

Golden spiritual energy, white medicinal powder, and purplish-black poisonous blood intertwined in Jinxi's palm, creating a bizarre and breathtaking scene.

Time passed second by second…

Jin Xi's breathing grew heavier and heavier, and her nightgown was already soaked with cold sweat, clinging tightly to her back.

He leaned back in his chair, looking as if he had just been pulled out of the water, sustained only by sheer willpower.
