Chapter 26: Safe

Tang Yun looked at her, his heart confused. Could it be that Lin Xiyue really didn't know her own identity?

"Do you... do you remember what happened before?" Tang Yun asked tentatively.

Lin Xiyue shook her head: "I don't remember."

Tang Yun's heart sank.

He didn't know whether he should tell her the truth, tell her that she was the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Medical Sect, and that her blood could dissolve ten thousand Gu.

Just as he was hesitating, Lin Xiyue suddenly grabbed his hand and asked anxiously: "My brother? How is my brother?"

Only then did Tang Yun remember, and he hurriedly said: "Your brother is fine; he is very safe now."

"Really?" A flash of joy crossed Lin Xiyue's eyes.

"Really." Tang Yun nodded affirmatively.

Only then did Lin Xiyue set her heart at ease. She looked at Tang Yun, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Tang Yun."

Tang Yun smiled and didn't speak.

He looked at Lin Xiyue, his heart complex.

Lin Xiyue's background was definitely not simple; many secrets were hidden within her.

And these secrets would sooner or later be uncovered.

Lin Xiyue looked at Tang Yun with longing, her eyes dependent, like an injured little deer. "My brother... is he really okay?"

Tang Yun looked at her appearance; this girl had lost her memory and remembered nothing, yet she was worried about her brother first. He nodded, "Rest assured, he is very safe now, much safer than you."

Only then did Lin Xiyue let out a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her pale face, like plum blossoms blooming in winter, fragile and beautiful. "That's good... that's good..."

Tang Yun looked at her weak appearance, feeling irritable in his heart. He got up and walked to the window, looking at the city with its dim lights outside.

Lin Xiyue's background, the Taixu bloodline, the Poison King's residual soul, the Heavenly Medical Sect... these messy things were like a tangled mess, making his head ache.

"Tang Yun..." Lin Xiyue's weak voice came. "I... I feel so cold..."

Tang Yun looked back and saw Lin Xiyue's face even paler, her lips turning purple. He hurriedly walked to the bedside and reached out to touch her forehead; a chill made him pull his hand back abruptly.

"What's going on?" Tang Yun frowned; this chill wasn't right.

Tang Yun remembered that earlier in the Taixu Illusory Realm, that Ice Silkworm had burrowed into Lin Xiyue's body. Could it be the frost poison of the Ice Silkworm?

He hurriedly circulated his True Qi, wanting to help Lin Xiyue drive out the frost poison, but as soon as his True Qi touched Lin Xiyue's body, he felt a powerful repulsive force, completely unable to enter her body.

"How could this be?" Tang Yun was startled; this Taixu bloodline was actually repelling his True Qi!

Just then, Lin Xiyue's body suddenly began to tremble violently; she groaned in pain, and her face became increasingly ugly.

"Tang Yun... I'm so cold... save me..."

Tang Yun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan; he didn't know what to do. His True Qi couldn't enter Lin Xiyue's body, and he simply couldn't help her drive out the frost poison.

Just when he was at his wit's end, he suddenly remembered what the Martial Dao Stele's residual soul had said in the Taixu Illusory Realm: "Taixu bloodline can dissolve ten thousand Gu, and can also nurture ten thousand Gu..."

Could it be... could it be that Lin Xiyue's Taixu bloodline could not only dissolve Gu but also nurture Gu insects?

Thinking of this, Tang Yun's heart sank. If this were true, then Lin Xiyue's situation would be even more dangerous. The frost poison of the Ice Silkworm, combined with the special nature of the Taixu bloodline, he couldn't predict what kind of consequences would arise from the combination of the two.

Just then, Lin Xiyue's body suddenly emitted a dazzling white light; this white light became increasingly intense, finally illuminating the entire room.

Tang Yun was startled by the sudden white light; he hurriedly took a few steps back, looking at Lin Xiyue vigilantly.

The white light lasted for a moment, then slowly dissipated.

When the white light disappeared, Tang Yun discovered that Lin Xiyue's face had returned to normal, and her lips were no longer purple.

"I... I'm fine now..." Lin Xiyue said weakly; she slowly opened her eyes, a flash of confusion in them. "Just now... what happened?"

Tang Yun looked at her, his heart confused and puzzled. What exactly was the white light just now? Why did Lin Xiyue's frost poison suddenly disappear?

He walked to Lin Xiyue's side and reached out to touch her forehead, finding that her body temperature had returned to normal.

"How do you feel?" Tang Yun asked with concern.

Lin Xiyue shook her head, "I'm fine, just feeling a bit tired."

Tang Yun looked at her, his heart still confused, always feeling that something had been ignored by him.

Just then, he suddenly remembered the Shennong Cauldron and the Martial Dao Stele he had obtained in the Taixu Illusory Realm.

He hurriedly took out the Shennong Cauldron and the Martial Dao Stele from his storage ring and began to observe them carefully.

The Shennong Cauldron looked plain, just an ordinary bronze cauldron, but Tang Yun felt a powerful force hidden within it.

And the Martial Dao Stele exuded an ancient and mysterious aura; the stele was covered with dense characters, not a single one of which Tang Yun could understand.

He attempted to use True Qi to probe the Shennong Cauldron and the Martial Dao Stele, but as soon as his True Qi touched these two divine artifacts, he felt a powerful repulsive force, completely unable to enter them.

"What's going on?" Tang Yun frowned; these two divine artifacts were actually repelling his True Qi!

Just when he was confused and puzzled, he suddenly felt a powerful force surge out from the Shennong Cauldron; this force instantly swallowed him...

Tang Yun felt his consciousness being pulled into a dark space. In this space, he saw a huge black shadow; this black shadow exuded a terrifying aura, making him feel suffocated.

"Who are you?" Tang Yun endured the fear in his heart and asked.

"I am... the Poison King..." The black shadow made a low sound, filled with resentment and anger.

"Poison King?" Tang Yun was startled. Could this be the residual soul of the Poison King?

"That's right, I am the Poison King!" The black shadow roared. "Kid, you actually dare to take away my Shennong Cauldron; you deserve to die!"

"Poison King? Heh!" Tang Yun sneered. "Just a sealed residual soul, daring to be arrogant in front of me!"

The black shadow trembled violently, "Kid, you are too arrogant! Once I recover my power, I will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

"Is that so? I'll wait." Tang Yun said disdainfully.

Just then, the Shennong Cauldron suddenly vibrated violently, and a powerful force pulled Tang Yun's consciousness back to reality.

Tang Yun opened his eyes and found himself still standing in the room, holding the Shennong Cauldron and the Martial Dao Stele.

And Lin Xiyue was looking at him with a worried face, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Tang Yun shook his head. He looked at Lin Xiyue, his eyes filled with complex emotions, "Xiyue, I have some things to tell you."

Just as Tang Yun was preparing to tell Lin Xiyue about the Poison King, suddenly, a series of urgent knocks sounded on the door. ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
