    “Is there any way to detoxify?” David asked hurriedly.


    Mo Chen looked at David, then at the unconscious Ling Xue. After a moment’s hesitation


    , he said, “This poison requires the power of extreme yang to neutralize it. Ordinary elixirs are ineffective… The best way is s#xual intercourse between a man and a woman, channeling their own spiritual energy…” As soon as these words came out, David was stunned.


    Hu Mazi’s eyes gleamed with gold. He wanted to offer himself, as a man, and could help.


    “I’ll go take care of things outside first. David… Take care of yourself.”


    With that, Mo Chen hurriedly pulled Hu Mazi away, as if staying even a second longer would be awkward.


    Hu Mazi didn’t want to leave, but with Mo Chen holding him, there was nothing he could do!


    In an instant, the two of them were the only ones left in the yard.


    David looked at Ling Xue lying on the ground. Her breathing was getting faster and faster, her cheeks were red as if they were about to bleed, and she unconsciously tore at her clothes, revealing her snow-white neck.


    A heat rose from his dantian, and David swallowed, forcing down the throbbing in his heart.


    He knew that now was not the time to think about these things, but Li Chunfeng’s words kept echoing in his mind.


    “We must save her.” David gritted his teeth, picked up Ling Xue and walked into the room.


    After gently cing her on the bed, David turned around and wanted to find Hu Mazi to think of other ways, but his wrist was firmly grasped.


    “David…” Ling Xue opened her eyes in a daze, her eyes blurred, and she murmured, “Don’t go…”


    Her hands were hot and soft, and the touch made David stiffen.


    “Lingxue, hold on. I’ll find you an antidote…”


    “It’s no use…”


    Lingxue shook her head gently, her other hand sping his neck.


    Her breath was sweet as a rose. “I know… only you can save me…” Her warm breath, carrying the unique fragrance of a young girl,


    gently brushed against David’s ear, instantly oveing his sanity. He stared into Lingxue’srge, watery eyes, where his own image was clearly reflected.


    “Are you… willing?” David’s voice was a little hoarse.


    Ling Xue didn’t answer, but simply stood on tiptoe and gently kissed his lips.


    Like a spark igniting dry wood, long-suppressed emotions suddenly burst forth.


    The candlelight in the room flickered, illuminating their intertwined figures. The moonlight outside the window had grown hazy, as if casting a gentle veil over the lovers who had endured so much hardship.


    This night was destined to be sleepless.


    The next morning, the first rays of sunlight filtered into the room through the windowttice.


    David slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ling Xue sleeping in his arms. Her face was still flushed, and her long eyshes fluttered gently, like a napping butterfly.


    Last night’s madness seemed like a dream, and upon waking, only the beauty of the room and a faint sense of guilt remained. He gently tucked the corners of the quilt around Ling Xue and stood up and walked to the window.


    The courtyard had returned to peace. The traces ofst night’s fight had beenpletely cleaned up, leaving only the faint smell of blood in the air as a reminder of what had happened.


    “Senior Brother David,” Ling Xue’s voice came from behind him, a hint ofziness and shyness.


    David turned to see that she had dressed, but her cheeks were still flushed, and she couldn’t meet his eyes.


    “How are you feeling?” David stepped forward and reached out to feel her pulse.


    The instant his spiritual energy surged in, David breathed a sigh of relief. The toxins in Ling Xue’s body had beenpletely eliminated. Even from absorbing his blood, her cultivation was showing signs of breaking through to the fourth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm.


    “Much better, thank you.” Ling Xue lowered her head, her voice soft as a mosquito’s hum.


    Just then, Hu Mazi rushed in, shouting, “David! It’s bad! Qin Lie and his men areing!”


    David’s face darkened. “Just in time.”


    He and Ling Xue exchanged a nce and left the room.


    The Sword Sect’s headquarters was already surrounded by a dense swarm of cultivators.


    The leader was none other than Qin Lie. His eyes were bloodshot, and he exuded a terrifying aura, clearly having learned of Qin Feng’s fate.


    Behind him stood a dozen or so old men in various clothing, each with a powerful aura, clearly the leaders of various sects.
