Chapter 349: Ye Qingran, What Exactly Are You Doing?

Here, isn't this the very bath pool where she and Fu Hanxiu had relations last time?

Recalling that night now, she felt a lingering sense of dread.

She never imagined that the person she slept with was actually the Emperor Sovereign who stands at the pinnacle of the struggle for supremacy!

Six years ago, they had relations, and she bore Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen; six years later, in order to repair her Spiritual Root, she came to the Guoshi Fu, stole the Imperial Flower, accidentally ingested the Love Poison from the Tai Xu Bamboo Flower Pollen, and then ended up having relations with Fu Hanxiu in this bath pool.

If one were to say all this is merely coincidence, she herself wouldn't believe it!

Fu Hanxiu stepped out of the bath pool, not submerging himself, revealing his upper body above the chest amidst the white mist.

Ye Qingran couldn't help but avert her gaze.

"Miss Ye, what should we do next?"

Ye Qingran clenched a pill tightly in her hand, gripping it firmly.

Her face was solemn and heavy, a flicker of weight crossing her eyes.

This pill is the most crucial link in the entire process of transferring the Mysterious Parasite.

As long as she throws this pill into the bath pool, its efficacy will enter Fu Hanxiu's bloodstream, stimulating the Mysterious Parasite, which will eagerly seek to burst out of his body. If she does not find a suitable new host for the Parasite, Fu Hanxiu will be tormented by the raging Parasite until his Mysterious Force is exhausted, reducing him to a complete wreck!

Ye Qingran couldn't help but let out a self-mocking laugh.

Last time, she came to steal the Imperial Flower but failed, ending up sleeping with Fu Hanxiu instead; this time, in the very same bath pool, she intends to help him transfer the Mysterious Parasite onto herself.

Indeed, karma cycles, retribution is inevitable!

"I'll add another ingredient." Having said that, she slowly opened her palm, revealing the pill that was entirely emerald-green.

A flash of determination crossed her eyes, and she then tossed the pill into the bath pool.

The moment the pill entered the water, strands of emerald-green light illuminated the entire bath pool, and in the next instant, they surged wildly toward Fu Hanxiu's body.

Fu Hanxiu, whose face had been calm, suddenly shuddered all over; in the next instant, his brows knitted tightly, and he became instantly restless and frenzied.

A mysterious energy surged within his body, his surroundings flickering with green light, followed by gusts of strong wind that swept forth, stirring up a gale within the bath pool space.

"Ah!" Fu Hanxiu suddenly raised his head and let out a long howl, veins bulging on his body, his eyes turning blood‑red.

Fu Er outside the room was drawn by the commotion, came to the bath pool, saw his master's supreme frenzy, as if he would go mad and fall into demonhood any second, his eyes reddened with urgency, he clenched his fists and rushed to Ye Qingran, loudly questioning her.

"Ye Qingran, what exactly did you do to him?"

Ye Qingran had no spare thought to deal with her.

This moment is the most crucial link in the Mysterious Parasite's transfer, allowing no distraction whatsoever!

She observed Fu Hanxiu's condition, keeping track of time.

Fu Er darted to block her front, cutting off her line of sight.

Ye Qingran's face sank involuntarily, "Get out of the way!"

"No! Explain yourself clearly—what exactly did you do to Your Majesty?" In his desperation, he no longer addressed Fu Hanxiu as 'Sir'.

Ye Qingran really wanted to curse!

This Fu Er, damn it, is basically an idiot!

"Fu San, drag him away for me; otherwise, if your master dies, don't blame me!" Ye Qingran's voice carried a frosty tone.

Fu San's expression changed instantly as he flashed forward to close in on Fu Er, trying to pull him away. But this time, Fu Er had no intention of yielding. Your Majesty's condition is dire; if Ye Qingran continues to cause trouble, Your Majesty will be killed by her!

Fu San could do nothing about Fu Er's stubbornness; unable to hold back, he dealt Fu Er a heavy blow.

Fu Er naturally refused.

The two then became entangled in a fight.

Seeing the moment ripe, Ye Qingran moved behind Fu Hanxiu, lifted his right arm from the bath pool, and swiftly made a cut on his wrist.

Blood spattered everywhere!

Fu Er and Fu San both witnessed this scene, both forgetting to act, staring wide‑eyed in shock.

"Ye Qingran, what are you doing? I'll kill you!" Fu Er, thinking Ye Qingran intended harm to his master, threw caution to the wind and charged at her like a madman.

Ye Qingran was at a critical life‑or‑death juncture; how could she allow Fu Er to interfere?

"Get lost!"

She let out a fierce shout, swung her hand, and a strong surge of Mysterious Force struck Fu Er's chest, sending him flying back to slam heavily against the wall, where he spat out a mouthful of blood.

With his wrist cut, Fu Hanxiu regained some consciousness, his distant eyes turning to look at Ye Qingran.

His blood‑red eyes gradually cleared...

He happened to see Ye Qingran, with a dagger, slit open the same spot on her wrist!

Her wrist, as if frosted, made the flowing blood a shocking sight, causing Fu Hanxiu's pupils to contract sharply to a pinpoint!

His heart, too, gave a heavy jolt!

In the next instant, Ye Qingran pressed their hands together, wound to wound!

At that moment, the place where their wounds met blazed with light!

Fu Hanxiu could no longer bear the intense pain in his body; a strange, unprecedented dull ache surged in his heart, filling him with shock and dread!

He finally understood where that earlier unease had come from!

His face was filled with astonishment.

It turned out Ye Qingran had no way to extract the Mysterious Parasite from him; her confident assurances were because she had long planned to transfer the Parasite into her own body!

This realization made Fu Hanxiu's heart sink without bound!

How could he not know of this method of Parasite transfer?

Transferring the Mysterious Parasite is extremely difficult. Even in the Xi Ji Shengyu, few know how to perform it. Even if one knows, the operator must transfer the Parasite onto themselves and must be willing! Moreover, the Parasite imposes high demands on a new host; otherwise the transfer will fail!

If the Mysterious Parasite transfers to a new host, the frenzied Parasite will attack that host, causing immense suffering!

It can be described as worse than death!

Even ordinary people cannot withstand the Parasite's violent ravages and die outright!

It is precisely because of his understanding that Fu Hanxiu's fear at this moment is like a hundred‑meter‑high wave, drowning him...

He cannot imagine, if because of this he were to lose Ye Qingran...

He wants to stop it, but as a Fallen Mortal his Mysterious Force is completely gone; how could he be a match for Ye Qingran?

He looks at Ye Qingran with an almost desperate gaze.

She, why on earth does she do this?

He would rather endure all the pain, even rather die, than see her endure any pain...

Ye Qingran tightly grasps Fu Hanxiu's hand; at this moment she is incredibly resolute.

If transferring Fu Hanxiu's mysterious toxin onto herself could secure a promise from Fu Hanxiu, thereby guaranteeing that Xiao Chen and Xiao Hu will not leave her, then all of this would be worth it!

Fu Hanxiu spoke in a deep voice, his tone hoarse and slightly trembling, "Ye Qingran, what on earth are you doing?! I command you, stop immediately!"

Although it is a commanding tone, it is filled with humble pleading.
