"Ah! Stop dawdling, lives are at stake! Saintess, don't stop my big brother, at worst he'll take responsibility!"
Lin Shuainan was anxiously urging Ling Feng to help treat Xiuxiu.
If it weren't for the mysterious girl's more severe injuries, he would have already urged Ling Feng to save Xiuxiu first.
"Shuainan, don't speak nonsense!"
Ling Feng naturally wouldn't make such a promise lightly.
With the previous lesson learned, Ling Feng would never agree so easily.
Hearing Lin Shuainan's words, Ji Yunyue's firm resolve wavered slightly, but seeing that Ling Feng was unwilling to take responsibility, her expression became even colder, and she said sternly, "Then, you find another way to save her!"
"There are other ways too!"
Ling Feng said in a deep voice.
"What?" Ji Yunyue pressed repeatedly, knowing this was not the time for a riddle.
Ling Feng's gaze fell upon the mysterious girl's chest.
Ji Yunyue followed his gaze and her face stiffened. She awkwardly averted her eyes.
She had thought Ling Feng was an exception.
Ji Yunyue couldn't help but feel a slight contempt for Ling Feng.
"Inject the Spring Autumn Life and Death Gu into her body, and only then can her life be saved. However, this also carries some risks!" Ling Feng's voice, neither high nor low, interrupted Ji Yunyue's wandering thoughts.
"Right, there's also the Spring Autumn Life and Death Gu!"
After the ordeal with the Gu poison array, the bond between Ji Yunyue and the mysterious girl had clearly deepened.
Although the Spring Autumn Life and Death Gu was precious, it was not as valuable as a life.
This item, capable of dispelling all poisons and also enhancing one's cultivation through Gu poison, was precisely the best tool to save the mysterious girl at this moment.
With this thought, Ji Yunyue directly reached for a box from the mysterious girl's chest.
Ling Feng showed a hint of hesitation and tried to stop her.
But before Ling Feng could speak, the mysterious girl lying on the ground suddenly opened her eyes and quickly grabbed Ji Yunyue's wrist with one hand.
"Ah! She's reanimated!"
Lin Shuainan cried out in fright, but Guan Ya quickly covered his mouth.
Then, the mysterious girl, staring at Ji Yunyue, said in a weak and hoarse voice, "Cannot... use!"
"Why can't we use it? This Spring Autumn Life and Death Gu can save you now."
Ji Yunyue's tone was urgent, filled with confusion.
"Because she wants to use the Spring Autumn Life and Death Gu to save someone else!"
Ling Feng said with a solemn expression.
Ji Yunyue froze.
The mysterious girl bit her lower lip, a hint of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. She then stared at Ling Feng and said word by word, "That's right, the Spring Autumn Life and Death Gu... is for saving others. I cannot use it!"
"Wuming girl, you are too foolish. No matter how important that person is, the most important thing for you now is to save your own life."
Guan Ya was anxious. He directly snatched the Spring Autumn Life and Death Gu and was about to open it to force-feed it to the mysterious girl.
Once this item entered the body, it would immediately take effect.
However, Ling Feng reached out and stopped Guan Ya, his gaze fixed on the mysterious girl, "What is your relationship with the Medicine King? Is he truly that important to you?"
Medicine King?
When these two words were uttered, Lin Shuainan, standing nearby, was stunned!
Medicine King Bai Yunyan?
Wasn't that his adoptive father, Father Bai?
How could Father Bai be related to this mysterious girl whose name he didn't even know?
Lin Shuainan was full of curiosity.
The mysterious girl stared at Ling Feng in disbelief, "You, how do you know?"
"I have studied some medicinal texts with the Medicine King, including those that refine a person's sense of smell. I can now determine blood relations between people based on the scent of their blood."
Ling Feng explained calmly.
Lin Shuainan's eyes widened upon hearing this, "Big brother, why don't I know this trick? Is my cultivation level not high enough?"
But Ling Feng ignored him.
The mysterious girl's eyes widened further, "Are you my uncle's disciple?"
"The Medicine King is your uncle? Hmm, no wonder the bloodline aura on you two is so similar."
Ling Feng finally understood their relationship.
"Where is my uncle now? Do you know? The myriad poisons on him are about to erupt. If he's not treated quickly, he will surely die."
The mysterious girl suddenly became anxious, even getting up despite her weak state to grab Ling Feng's wrist and relentlessly question him.
Ling Feng shook his head, "Don't get agitated. The most important thing now is to treat your corpse poison. Otherwise, if you die, I won't be able to explain it to the Medicine King."
Having confirmed their relationship, Ling Feng was even less likely to watch the mysterious girl die.
As his words fell, Ling Feng looked at Lin Shuainan.
"Big brother, why are you looking at me like that? Oh, oh, oh..."
Lin Shuainan was startled at first, but quickly came to his senses. He scratched the back of his head sheepishly and said to the mysterious girl.
"Well, to formally introduce myself, I am Father Bai's adopted son, my name is Lin Shuainan! Father Bai went to the mountain in front of his door not long ago, saying he was going to collect herbs..."
As he spoke, Lin Shuainan let out a bitter laugh and shook his head, muttering to himself, "I wondered why that old rascal seemed a bit strange back then. So he was poisoned. Why didn't he tell me clearly?"
"You are my uncle's adopted son? No! That's impossible. My uncle is eccentric, has never had a partner in his life, and never thought of having children. He simply doesn't like children..."
The mysterious girl was extremely surprised, but halfway through her sentence, her gaze towards Lin Shuainan changed, becoming peculiar.
"The Medicine King said that Shuainan was very much like him when he was young. I was present when he recognized Shuainan as his adopted son!"
Ling Feng corroborated.
The mysterious girl now believed seven or eight parts.
Because she also felt that when Lin Shuainan acted a bit dim-witted or did nonsensical things, he indeed bore a strange resemblance to his uncle.
"He went into the mountains to collect herbs... Could he be intending to die in the mountains?"
The mysterious girl's emotions became agitated.
Pfft!
Following that, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Hey, hey, don't get agitated. By rights, you should also call me your foster brother. I don't want to see you die in front of me, otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to Father Bai either."
With this added layer of relationship, Lin Shuainan clearly showed more concern for the mysterious girl.
"Why don't you just use the Spring Autumn Life and Death Gu! I'll go with you to find Father Bai later! My big brother's medical skills are very advanced now, perhaps he can save him!"
