Heaven-defying Phoenix

Outside the Qing Mu Hall, a figure dressed in black was walking alone with his hair fluttering in the wind. Her eyes were clouded by confusion, and for a moment, she almost forgot where she was.    

    

The moment Qin Zheng let her leave, Jiu Muli was stunned.    

    

Perhaps, she never thought that Qin Zheng would actually choose to believe in Nangong Xueji and not her.    

    

He wanted a reason to trust her, so she gave it to him. But in the end, she left the stage sadly.    

    

A bitter feeling gradually spread throughout her heart, even causing her eyes to become sore. Regarding this matter regarding Qin Zheng's Opening the Profound Vein, she was definitely sincere towards him.    

    

It was also because of this that she ignored her own consolation, risking her life to find that Purgatory flower of seven colors, just for the sake of her own peace of mind.    

    

However, the result of her defeat today was that he chose to believe in Nangong Xueji, and even used the Purgatory flower of seven colors that she had snatched with all her might.    

    

Jiu Muli felt that it was both sarcastic and laughable.    

    

Grief is greater than death.    

    

Her heart was as still as water as she returned to her own chamber without the slightest ripple.    

    

If she continued to stay in this palace filled with Qin Zheng's aura, she would suffocate! And in this vast palace, other than the Jiuhua Hall, the only other place she knew of was the Taiyuan Hospital.    

    

However, it was getting late, so the Taiyuan Hospital had probably turned off the lights.    

    

But other than Taiyuan Hospital, she also knew of another place — — Gongquan!    

    

Jiu Muli's eyes flashed with a strange light, and she slowly took out a set of silver needles. There were a total of 108 silver needles of varying lengths and sizes, shining with a cold light under the candlelight.    

    

This was what she had found in the Director Chen. It could be used for self-defense, but it could also be used as a medical treatment. I wonder what kind of situation the fellow who was struck by the blood curse has now?    

    

She needed to go for a walk. And Gongquan was a good choice.    

    

The setting sun shone like blood.    

    

The black clad girl's figure was nimble and crafty, like a slippery fish, avoiding the layers of guards and directly rushing towards Gongquan.    

    

Passing through the dusty palace, he saw a small figure under the moonlight. He was sitting upright under a full moon, concentrating on his cultivation. The blue light around him was filled with a dangerous aura, faintly revealing that this little boy was also an expert.    

    

Sensing that someone had come, the little boy stopped cultivating after calming his breathing. He looked at her without sadness or joy. His voice was calm as he said, "You're here."    

    

"How did you recognize me?" Jiu Muli forcefully suppressed the bitter feeling churning in his heart, and smiled faintly.    

    

"Footsteps." The little boy's eyes were as calm as a serene pond. His gaze calmly swept over her pale face and red eyes. The bloodstains in her eyes were frightening, but she did not know it yet.    

    

Was she in a bad mood?    

    

The little boy frowned, but did not ask.    

    

"Even though I am temporarily unable to completely unlock the blood curse for you, with the stimulation from the silver needles, I might be able to ease up a bit. Do you want to try? " Jiu Muli lifted the corner of his lips, his eyes clear.    

    

When she was in a bad mood, saving someone became a means of entertainment. Although she did not expect to see gratitude on the boy's icy face, she also wanted to use this method to release the pressure that had been suppressed in her heart.    

    

"Acupuncture?" The boy's brows relaxed and his expression turned serious. "Will there be any side effects?"    

    

"Other than the pain, the pressure on the needling s is greater." Jiu Muli spread out his hands and chuckled.    

    

The little boy stared at her for a long time. His eyes were as big as black grapes, and his eyes were even more intelligent than glass. After pondering for a long time, he slowly nodded his head.    

    

He had never been one to take risks, but the young girl in front of him was worth it for him to gamble his all on.    

    

"Thank you for believing me." Jiu Muli took out a white cloth and wiped off each of her fingers before meticulously sterilizing the needles. Only when everything was ready did she reveal a bit of seriousness.    

    

"I'm going to start now. It might be very painful, just bear with it. "    

    

Just as he finished speaking, a silver needle as thick as a hair suddenly pierced into the boy's scalp. He was about to nod in acknowledgement when he suddenly stiffened.    

    

The pain was not the least bit fake, but when the blood curse acted, it was much stronger than when it acted. How could the light throbbing pain be able to resist the pain of his heart dripping blood?    

    

He closed his eyes that were filled with knowledge of the world, and returned to his expressionless face.    

    

Time passed second by second, and the little boy's body was covered in silver needles. Even his temple, neck, and chest were full of fatal spots. From afar, he looked like a hedgehog with thorns.    

    

However, Jiu Muli, who was sitting behind him in place of the needling, looked even worse. The black robe next to him that was absorbing sweat had already been drenched in sweat. A pair of delicate hands were as nimble as a butterfly in a flower. They constantly moved as fast as lightning on his back, carrying needling s.    

    

106th needle!    

    

Jiu Muli, who had been steady from the start till now, almost trembled this time. In the end, his hands still steadily pushed the needles into his body.    

    

There were only two needles left!    

    

The sky had turned dark, the moonlight was like water, and the shadows were dancing. She had actually sustained the needling for two hours! Every few seconds, she would have to make a move quickly, without the slightest hesitation or trembling of her hands. She didn't even dare to blink.    

    

The needling s tested the mental strength of the needling and also required the willpower of the patient. Both were indispensable.    

    

However, the needling for an hour was about to come to an end.    

    

Jiu Muli swiftly made his move again, firmly stabbing the silver needles into the center of the boy's feet.    

    

"There's only one left." The two of them thought at the same time.    

    

The needling s expended a lot of mental energy, causing Jiu Muli to feel dizzy, and he almost couldn't see what was in front of him.    

    

As the world spun around her, she clenched the last silver needle that was as thick as a silver hairpin. After aiming at the right moment, she quickly made her move.    

    

Success!    

    

After using the last needle, Jiu Muli felt dizzy and a sky full of stars suddenly appeared before his eyes. She fell to the ground and smiled at the boy. "How do you feel?"    

    

A pair of young hands held her. Moments later, however, the body of the owner of the hands expanded rapidly.    

    

Jiu Muli only had time to clearly see the little boy's fat hands. Gradually, the joints on his hands became clear, and each of his fingers were slender and slender.    

    

It could be seen that the needling was still effective.    

    

The young boy who was still acting like a child a moment ago instantly turned into a young man.    

    

At this moment, an extremely cold voice appeared in their ears. "What are you two doing?"
