Heaven-defying Phoenix

"Ninth Miss, no matter what, His Highness will definitely not mistreat you."    

    

Director Chen still spoke towards Qin Zheng in the end, and quickly added on.    

    

"Go and prepare the medicinal herbs first!" Jiu Muli did not plan to continue.    

    

"Alright …" Director Chen left helplessly.    

    

Time flew, and before anyone knew it, the sky had darkened.    

    

Before the Director Chen's medicinal ingredients were even delivered, Jiu Muli looked at the sky and suddenly felt a silver moon rising from the west. He could not help but think of the little boy.    

    

"I wonder how he is doing right now. It's been more than a month, the blood curse on his body probably can't be suppressed any longer either."    

    

Jiu Muli thought about it but still decided to take a look. She had promised the other party that she would treat him, and although she had only felt pity for him because she had thought he was just a child, it wasn't her character to go back on her words.    

    

It was the full moon of the night!    

    

Remembering that the other party had already prepared the blood of her loved ones, she felt it would be better to help him solve the problem as soon as possible. After all, she would be very busy later on.    

    

After exiting the room, she did not inform anyone, and headed straight for Gongquan.    

    

When she arrived at the Gongquan, the Gongquan was still the same, desolate, quiet, and a little dilapidated. Although it was a palace, it looked far worse than the Jiuhua Hall.    

    

Following her memories, she continued forward, heading straight for the little boy.    

    

Not long after Jiu Muli left, Qin Zheng suddenly thought of how he did not know how to refine pills, and planned to look for Jiu Muli, asking her if she needed any experience from alchemist, but when he reached her room, he realised that it was empty, and Jiu Muli had gone somewhere else.    

    

"Where did this woman go again?"    

    

Qin Zheng's face darkened. The spiritual sense scanned and found that there was nothing around, so he could not help but quickly search the Jiuhua Hall. But in the end, he could not find anything.    

    

"Director Chen!"    

    

Qin Zheng frowned, and shouted coldly.    

    

"Your Highness!"    

    

When the Director Chen heard Qin Zheng's words, he instantly appeared in front of him and asked: "Your Highness, what orders do you have for me?"    

    

"Where's Jiu Muli?"    

    

Qin Zheng asked coldly.    

    

When this old servant first saw her, she was still in her room. This old servant went to get the medicinal ingredients from Taiyuan Hospital for her. Director Chen did not dare to hide anything, and fearfully said.    

    

He was worried that Qin Zheng would blame him for not taking good care of him, so he would suffer.    

    

"The entire Jiuhua Hall is nowhere to be seen, where did she go?" Qin Zheng's face completely darkened. Remembering that Jiu Muli had always been extremely indifferent to him in the past few days, she couldn't help but become irritable for a moment.    

    

Director Chen was also anxious, he immediately said: "This old servant will hire guards to ask."    

    

As he spoke, he went to look for his guards.    

    

"No need!"    

    

Qin Zheng coldly snorted, and said: "If she had left, the guards would probably not have known either."    

    

After all, if the guards knew, they would have reported it to him long ago.    

    

"Then …"    

    

Director Chen's face became ugly. Suddenly, he remembered what Jiu Muli said to him not long ago, and asked carefully: "Your Highness, have you and Ninth Miss not been getting along well lately?"    

    

"Eh?" Qin Zheng squinted as a cold light flashed across his eyes. "What did you hear?"    

    

"No, no, the Ninth Miss said it himself." Director Chen was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he said in a trembling voice: "It's like this, today this old servant saw that Ninth Miss seemed to have ulterior motives towards Your Highness and couldn't help but ask him for the reason, in the end she said that Your Highness wanted her to be your woman and wasn't willing to marry her."    

    

After saying that, Director Chen did not hide anything from Jiu Muli, and reported everything he had said to him in detail. At the same time, he was secretly complaining in his heart.    

    

He was afraid that because of what Jiu Muli said, he would not be able to take it lying down and leave in the end.    

    

After Qin Zheng heard this, his face was still cold, but his eyebrows creased deeply.    

    

"Did she secretly leave because she didn't want to be my woman?"    

    

No one knew that in his heart, he was in an unprecedented state of panic. He had already made up his mind a long time ago to protect and nurture Jiu Muli, but now that Jiu Muli had left because of him, it became even more difficult for him to accept for a moment.    

    

"Is she really gone?"    

    

Qin Zheng's heart was stifled by these words. His eyes were as black as ink, intertwined with regret and panic, as if a hint of blood was seeping out of them.    

    

Immediately, without thinking, his figure disappeared and rushed towards the palace. He was not willing to let Jiu Muli leave just like that, even if he had to search through the entire palace to find her.    

    

He wanted to tell Jiu Muli that he wanted to marry her, and for the past few days, he had been thinking about how grand their wedding would be …    

    

"You're back?"    

    

When Jiu Muli stepped into Ye Kewu's cultivation area, Ye Kewu who had turned into a child seemed to have already noticed him and greeted him coldly.    

    

This was the first time he took the initiative to greet Jiu Muli.    

    

"Hmm, what's the situation with you? You can't suppress the blood curse any longer, right?"    

    

Jiu Muli nodded, and asked with concern.    

    

"Fortunately, it did not continue to worsen. I can still suppress it."    

    

Ye Kewu was still expressionless, as if he didn't know what expression he should be wearing.    

    

"Then that's good, today is the full moon's night, I believe you have already prepared the items, I will remove the blood curse for you now." Jiu Muli heaved a sigh of relief and opened his mouth in a hurry.    

    

The last time she had come, the other party's medicinal ingredients and blood had already been prepared. It was just that it was not the full moon at that time, so she was unable to treat the poison.    

    

"Alright."    

    

Ye Kewu was very straightforward, and continued to speak: "I wonder how long it will take, should we set up the barrier?"    

    

"Not for long, about two hours or so. Let's just set up the barrier so that we won't be disturbed."    

    

After all, this was the only chance he had to remove the blood curse, and it was better to be careful. If not, once he was disturbed, not only would he have a chance to lose all his previous efforts, he could also lose his life!    

    

Ye Kewu nodded his head, and immediately began to arrange everything, for his own training grounds, Ye Kewu naturally had already made preparations, and did not spend much effort to prepare it.    

    

When Ye Kewu finished setting up the barrier, Jiu Muli also had the other party take out all of the medicinal ingredients that they had prepared beforehand, and after careful examination, he said: "That's right, it's these, are you ready?"    

    

"Right." Ye Kewu's words were always simple and direct.    

    

Jiu Muli was too lazy to waste words, he immediately crushed all the ingredients and used the spiritual energy to turn them into medicine, and gave it to Ye Kewu: "Take it, remember, don't circulate your energy to resist it."    

    

"Alright."    

    

Ye Kewu said, very straightforwardly bringing the medicinal liquid into his mouth and swallowing it.    

    

Jiu Muli pressed one hand against the other party's back, carefully sensing the changes in his body.    

    

The blood curse was very strange. It was like a Gu worm, lurking in the pit of his heart. It emitted poison that completely entered the opponent's blood, sucking in their life force.    

    

As the medicinal liquid cut into the other party's body, the blood curse that was lurking in the pit of his heart suddenly became restless. The other party's blood flow suddenly increased, and all the veins on his body bulged.    

    

"Endure it!"    

    

When Jiu Muli saw this, a glint flashed past his eyes, and he once again tried to sense for details.    

    

This was the first time she had tried to remove this unfamiliar blood curse, and it was also the only time. She had no choice but to concentrate, but luckily, after being suppressed by it a few times before, her understanding of the blood curse was much more familiar than before.    

    

The medicinal liquid was like a bright flame, and the blood in Ye Kewu's body was like a pot of boiling oil. Once the boiling oil met the bright fire, the result would be obvious without even needing to think.    

    

Just as the blood in Ye Kewu's body was boiling hot to the extreme, Jiu Muli suddenly walked in front of her and took out the blood that Ye Kewu had given to her relative.    

    

The moment the drop of blood entered Ye Kewu's forehead, it quickly entered the center of his brows and gradually spread out. Soon after, the restless blood in Ye Kewu's body, as if it had met its natural enemy, immediately flowed back into Ye Kewu's heart.    

    

Following the blood's return, Ye Kewu's chest expanded instantly, and the rest of his body shriveled up in an instant.    

    

The first step was completed!    

    

Jiu Muli heaved a sigh of relief. The first step had been completed, which showed that her method was indeed feasible.    

    

The poisonous blood was forced back, as if it had its own consciousness, unwilling to give up. Not long later, it started to spread outwards again, following the veins, and slowly dissolve the blood drop that Jiu Muli sent into the center of the other party's brows.    

    

Without any further hesitation, she immediately picked up another needle and pierced it into the heart of the other party!    

    

At this point, the blood was curling up into a ball in the man's chest.    

    

However, Jiu Muli didn't stop moving, and always inserted a needle at the most crucial moment.    

    

Needles after needles, as time passed, unknowingly, Jiu Muli had already pierced over forty needles. The revolt on the blood curse in Ye Kewu's body was also slowly being forced away, it was getting smaller and smaller.    

    

As the blood curse eased, the situation in Ye Kewu's body also became better and better.    

    

It was at this moment that a formless shackle seemed to exist within Ye Kewu's body. It started to coordinate with the blood curse in his body, and gradually devoured the vitality within Ye Kewu's body.    

    

Life was the foundation of a human. Once they were completely devoured, the only path left for them was death.    

    

Seeing that, Jiu Muli's mouth raised, she had already expected that this would happen, and immediately began using the needling without hesitation.    

    

This time, every needle of hers pierced into the vital points of the invisible shackles, instantly minimizing the damage caused by the invisible shackles as if they were blocking an important passage.    

    

That was because the blood curse had eroded it for too long, resulting in a type of protection mechanism. It was very strange, because unless the blood curse was removed, it would not disappear completely.    

    

Jiu Muli's idea was very simple, to completely force the blood curse into his heart, and then use the blood of his loved ones to make up for the weakness in his body, and finally force the blood curse out of his heart.    

    

This was a method similar to Blood Transformation in his previous life, but in the world of cultivators, Ye Kewu's cultivation was not weak.    

    

Furthermore, the blood curse was only a bunch of existences similar to the insect poison, and handling it was actually much easier.    

    

Unknowingly, more than an hour had passed and the blood curse in Ye Kewu's body had been suppressed to the point where he had no way out.    

    

To remove the blood curse would require a total of 981 times, and that was only half of the time now. After that, the blood curse would be completely sealed and expelled.
