Bai Han stepped forward, grabbing Bai Xi's wrist. "Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Xi, her wrist being held, frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes. "Brother, I'm fine. I just wanted to see if Xuan Ji's books contained anything that could eliminate him completely, and also to see..."
She didn't finish, her gaze drifting to Han Mo, who lay on the recliner.
Uncle Wang looked at Bai Xi before him.
When Bai Xi first arrived, he admitted to having a small personal motive.
This woman had been brought back at the cost of King's life. The thought still caused him pain and regret. Therefore, seeing her by his side was something he, as King's loyal follower, was naturally very happy to witness.
So, he hadn't informed anyone of her presence here, not even Bai Han.
But he gradually noticed that while Bai Xi was polite to him, she seemed to have become almost inhuman. She had obtained all the books from the Kui Palace and began reading them without eating, drinking, or sleeping.
Even when he prepared food and placed it before her, she wouldn't touch it.
Thinking she was deliberately starving herself, he spoke up to remind her. After his reminder, she would come and eat, and then resume her reading.
However, unlike eating and drinking, sleep was something he couldn't control.
She seemed to feel no fatigue or drowsiness. Even when lying in bed, she couldn't sleep, her eyes open in the darkness, quietly observing everything.
Watching her physical condition worsen, he knew this couldn't continue.
If she continued like this, King's sacrifice to bring her back would be in vain. She absolutely refused to let that happen.
So, she contacted Bai Han.
Bai Han looked at Bai Xi before him, his heart aching. "Xiao Xi, you need to rest."
Bai Xi frowned. "Brother, I'm not sleepy. Even if I lie down, I can't sleep. Don't worry, I'll take care of myself. I won't let myself..."
Before she could finish, Bai Han raised his hand and administered a dose of sedative directly into Bai Xi.
Only as the needle penetrated did Bai Xi sense it. "Brother..."
Bai Han looked at his sister, his eyes full of concern. "Xiao Xi, have a good sleep. When you wake up, I have something to tell you."
She was already very tired and weary, yet she couldn't feel it.
Just as the female psychologist had said, if her psychological issues weren't resolved, her condition would likely worsen and become irreversible.
Her senses were acute. Before, even in the same suite, she could detect his abnormalities.
And now, he stood before her, producing a needle, and she hadn't noticed.
After being injected, Bai Xi looked up at her brother, her expression filled with surprise, and then resignation. "Brother, I'm sorry for making you worry..."
The infusion of the serum was very quick. After it entered her body, Bai Xi didn't feel sleepy but gradually lost her strength, her mind becoming a blank.
When she woke up, it was already the next morning.
Bai Han sat not far from her, flipping through a book. It was one of the books she had confiscated from the Kui Palace, a large collection, mostly related to medicine. Many were ancient, and in Black Gold Academy, they would undoubtedly be treasures.
The books themselves possessed no destructive power, but human hearts did!
Because these books contained many potent poisons and even insidious methods to gain personal advantage, she had to carefully filter them, eradicating those parts before they could be reintroduced to the world.
Therefore, these books were not yet suitable for public eyes. She had intended to read them herself, but now that Bai Han was here, he could help her. She trusted Bai Han.
"Brother, I slept very soundly."
She couldn't feel tired, nor could she feel refreshed upon waking, but she knew people needed rest. Without rest, her body could develop problems. So, next time... she was considering using sleeping pills intermittently to ensure her sleep.
Bai Han looked at Bai Xi, whose complexion had visibly improved, and his heart ached immensely.
She put down the book in her hand and walked over to Bai Xi. "Xiao Xi, let's go to the hospital and cooperate with the female psychologist's treatment."
Bai Xi shook her head. "I'm fine."
Saying that, she realized Bai Han was concerned because she hadn't slept this time. "Brother, don't worry. From now on, I'll eat three meals a day on time, in controlled portions, with scientifically balanced nutrition. I'll go to bed at ten every night. Even if I can't sleep, I'll lie down and rest. If I still can't sleep, I'll use sleeping pills every two days. I promise, I'll be healthier than ever!"
In the past, she had stayed up all night fighting, and gone two days and nights without a drop of water. This was nothing to her.
Of course, she had never considered ending her own life.
Because she always knew that only by living was there hope.
To choose death as an escape from one's responsibilities, when life was still possible, was a sign of cowardice.
Lin Yun, her brother, the Dark Division, they all needed her. And Han Mo... though he was dead, his body lay before her, lifelike. Perhaps, as Xuan Ji had said, she still had a chance.
Bai Han listened to his sister's promises, feeling both warmth and pain.
The warmth came from the fact that no matter what, his sister was always positive, full of strength, and resolute in her thoughts. The pain stemmed from her always thinking of those she cared about, while neglecting herself.
She even made promises about her health to alleviate the worries of those who cared for her.
Bai Han walked up to Bai Xi and gently flicked her nose. "Xiao Xi, you haven't contacted Shangguan Wen these past two days, have you?"
Bai Xi frowned. "No, I haven't. It doesn't seem like there's a better way to contact him now. He hasn't contacted me either, so I assume there haven't been any slip-ups on Xuan Ji's end."
With such reinforced control, even though Xuan Ji was a thousand-year-old demon, after the body possession, he couldn't take anything with him except the knowledge of medicine, poison, and hypnosis. Therefore, he had no way to escape.
Bai Han said calmly, "I executed Xuan Ji!"
At this, Bai Xi's eyes widened. "The one who possessed the body..."
If the body died, they would seek another host.
She didn't finish her sentence, but Bai Han already knew what she was going to say. "Don't worry, I nailed his soul into He Mu's body with seven peach wood nails. He is thoroughly dead."
Bai Xi looked somewhat astonished. "Brother, how did you know about this method? I've searched through so many books and haven't found anything related."
Bai Han smiled gently. "Not only do I know how to make Xuan Ji die completely, but I've also found a way to revive Han Mo."
Bai Xi paused slightly, looking at Bai Han before her with utter shock.
Bai Han, however, reached out again and gently flicked her nose. "Xiao Xi, give me another month. Let's try it together. We'll revive Han Mo. Please stop tormenting yourself like this."
He only wanted her to be well...
