Gu Beiyue was lying on his stomach, his hands tightly gripping the edge of the wooden couch as he resisted the chaotic true qi in his body.
For the past six months, he had to experience the danger of the true qi rampaging through his body every day. Every time, he was able to hold on and not lose his self-control. In the end, if he didn't say anything, no one would be able to tell that he was having an outburst.
However, this time was completely different. This time, he felt as if the true qi in his body was swallowing him up and he was completely out of control.
At this moment, his back, limbs, and all the major acupuncture points were filled with needles. Qin Min repeatedly checked over and over again. She didn't use this set of needles incorrectly.
"How could this be?" She didn't know how pale her face was.
"Gu Beiyue, tell me, how could this be?"
She couldn't find the reason. Every time he had an outburst, she would promptly administer the needles, and after the acupuncture, he would basically calm down.
She knew that he had strong self-control. If it wasn't for the fact that he really couldn't control himself, he wouldn't have grabbed the wooden couch like this.
Seeing Gu Beiyue enduring so much pain, she didn't know whether to continue observing or to boldly change the set of needles.
In the past six months, in addition to helping him with the needles, she also improved the set of special needles in the medical book.
She had Peony find a few martial arts practitioners for her to try. Basically, she could confirm that the improved set of needles would be more effective than the original set in controlling internal energy.
However, what was rampaging through Gu Beiyue's body wasn't internal energy, but a special type of true qi. She didn't dare to experiment on Gu Beiyue, and she didn't know whether the improved set of needles would have an effect on suppressing true qi.
Now, what should she do?
Wait, or take a gamble?
Gu Beiyue also didn't know the situation, so he couldn't answer Qin Min.
The little shadow on the side silently wiped his tears. He wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to cry out, afraid that he would disturb his parents. Such a warm child, how many tears had he shed in the past six months? Peony and the medical assistant were anxious, but they didn't dare to disturb him.
Suddenly, Gu Beiyue let go of his hands. His whole body rolled on the ground and curled up into a ball.
Although he didn't say anything, it was obvious that he couldn't take it anymore.
Because Gu Beiyue tumbled down, quite a few of the golden needles on his body also fell to the ground. Peony and the others hurriedly rushed forward to support him. When they turned Gu Beiyue over, everyone was stunned.
Green veins popped out on Gu Beiyue's face and neck, as if they were propped up by some kind of force and could burst at any moment.
Qin Min hardened her heart and made a prompt decision. "Quick, help him to the bed!"
She threw caution to the wind. This should be Gu Beiyue's last tribulation. There was no time to delay, and there was no chance for regrets!
Success and failure depended on this tribulation.
Waiting and resigning to fate was not a choice!
She only had one choice, and that was to change the needle technique!
She sniffed and said seriously, "Shaoyao, bring me another box of gold needles!"
She nimbly removed all the golden needles from Gu Beiyue's body. Then, she asked the medicine boy and the shadow to come over and help. She straightened Gu Beiyue's body.
Gu Beiyue did not know what Qin Min wanted to do. He only knew that she had not given up.
That's right!
She would not give up.
Even if he gave up, she would not give up.
He gritted his teeth and endured the rampaging true qi in his internal organs. He continued to use both hands to hold on to the edge of the wooden bed. Endure!
Qin Min originally wanted the medicine boy and the little shadow to tie Gu Beiyue up. Seeing him like this, her heart suddenly ached. It hurt so much that she wanted to cry!
How could she forget that he was the one who could endure the most!
Shaoyao brought the gold needles over. Qin Min said, "Shaoyao, bring the young master out. No one is allowed to come in! "
"Mother!"
The little shadow immediately hugged the pillar at the side. "I'm not leaving!"
"You'll affect Mother. Go!" Qin Min said coldly.
From the moment she saw the little shadow, he had never been serious or fierce. This time, however, he was especially fierce!
If he was not fierce, he would let the little shadow face the cruelty of life and death!
What could be crueler than life and death in this world?
The little shadow pursed his lips, lowered his head, and silently walked out. Qin Min's heart broke when she saw his lonely and desolate little figure.
"Shaoyao, look after the young master!"
After she finished speaking, she no longer looked at the little shadow and turned her attention back to Gu Beiyue. At this moment, Gu Beiyue was lying on the wooden bed, watching the little shadow's receding figure.
When the little shadow reached the door, Shaoyao and the medicine boy followed him out.
The little shadow stood for a moment and could not help but turn back. However, when he turned back, he saw Shaoyao closing the door.
"Young master, don't be afraid. We'll definitely …"
Shaoyao was about to comfort him when the little shadow suddenly ran out of the courtyard. He ran far away and only stopped when he reached the waterfall.
Shaoyao and the medicine boy hurriedly chased after him. Shaoyao originally wanted the medicine boy to comfort him. After all, it was easier to communicate with children. However, before the medicine boy could get close, the little shadow let out a wail and started bawling.
The sound of the waterfall was very loud. Shaoyao and the rest were close and could hear the little shadow's cries clearly. However, Gu Beiyue and Qin Min, who were in the room, could not hear anything at all.
By now, Qin Min had already started administering needles. It was a gamble that no one could predict the outcome of life or death.
Meanwhile, Han Xiang had already reached the southern shore of the Ice Sea.
The southern shore of the Ice Sea was the northernmost point of Cloud Realm Continent, a stretch of coastline that stretched as far as the eye could see. The highest point was more than a zhang above the surface of the Ice Sea, while the lowest point was only half a man's height above the surface.
The vast Ice Sea stretched as far as the eye could see. Although the temperature on the shores was not as cold as the sea itself, it was still somewhat affected.
Although it was summer, standing on the shore still gave one a feeling of being in the middle of winter. Especially when the cold wind blew from the sea of ice, that feeling was bone-chilling.
The Mysterious Continent's coastline was twice as high as Cloud Realm Continent's, and the Mysterious Continent's topography was a whole level higher than Cloud Realm Continent's.
Currently, Han Xiang was descending from the snow sled to meet Han Yunxi and the rest. Han Xiang had purposely dressed herself in red battle robes that matched her tall, slender figure. She looked valiant and valiant against the pristine ice.
Han Yunxi wasn't wearing a dress either, but a pair of trousers of a noble purple color that showed off her status.
Han Xiang had come alone, while Han Yunxi had a whole group of people standing behind her. It was hard to tell whether Han Yunxi and the rest had the advantage in numbers, or whether Han Xiang had the guts.
One thing to add to the picture was that as Han Xiang walked towards Han Yunxi and the rest, she was surrounded by Golden-Eyed Snow Mastiffs.
The Golden-Eyed Snow Mastiffs would never provoke humans of their own accord, but this time they seemed to have turned out in full force. Everyone was puzzled by this. If Han Xiang hadn't come, they would've started discussing the matter. But none of them were in the mood to discuss it now.
Gu's eyes darted left and right, knowing full well that these Golden-Eyed Snow Mastiffs were coming for him. Still, he wasn't worried. If these little beasts dared to cause trouble, he wouldn't spare them! He would definitely push Long Fei Ye out! If Long Fei Ye fought in front of them, not to mention his aura, just his cold face would be enough to scare them away!
After all, Long Fei Ye, Han Yunxi, and Han Chen were all here. Any one of these three people was enough to make the Snow Mastiffs submit. So, although the Snow Mastiffs were angry at Gu, they only surrounded him and didn't dare to get close, much less pounce on him.
Gu observed for a while, then quieted down and looked at Han Xiang with everyone. Only then did he realize that Han Xiang was wearing the same red robes as him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the same color!" He laughed. "She's probably a beautiful lady!"
"Qi Brother, you'll always be the most beautiful!" Mu Ling 'er hurriedly said.
Jin Zi was expressionless. He really didn't mind Mu Ling 'er using the word "beautiful" to praise other men, especially Gu.
The corner of Gu's mouth twitched. He didn't even bother to reply to Mu Ling 'er's "praise". He casually muttered, "Poison Lass, if she's afraid of being bullied in our territory, why doesn't she fight on the Frozen Sea?"
"It takes a lot of energy to fight on the Frozen Sea, okay!" Han Yunxi rolled her eyes.
The Frozen Sea was too cold. Fighting on the Frozen Sea was far more exhausting than fighting outside the Frozen Sea, so it was more strenuous.
"Everyone is exhausting, so there's no difference," Gu said again.
"Since there's no difference, why go and suffer in the cold?" Tang Li couldn't help but interrupt.
At this time, Han Xiang had already walked closer. Only then did everyone see her face clearly. Gu blurted out, "Senior Han, she's Han Xiang? Did we get the wrong person? "
"No," Han Chen said Coldly.
Gu was stunned at first, then he began to chuckle strangely. Although no one laughed, they all knew what he was laughing about.
When Han Xiang was still a distance away, everyone thought that she was a beauty when they saw her figure and her valiant battle uniform. But in reality, Han Xiang's appearance was indeed hard to compliment.
Tang Li said cheekily, "Xiao Qi, if I'd known, I would've made a bet with you."
Han Yunxi turned around and said coolly, "Why are you gossiping?"
Tang Li and Gu fell silent when she said this.
Han Xiang stopped and bowed to Han Chen. "Father, long time no see. How is everything?"
Han Chen nodded and didn't say anything. He walked out from behind Han Yunxi and stood to the side to show his neutral stance.
When Han Xiang's gaze landed on Han Yunxi, her expression immediately became arrogant. "This must be the empress of the Great Qin Dynasty?"
Han Yunxi already knew that Han Xiang wasn't a pushover, so she didn't hold back. She raised an eyebrow and her attitude was even more arrogant than Han Xiang's. She said, "That's me."
A trace of disdain flitted across Han Xiang's eyes. She looked to Han Yunxi's side and immediately saw the cold and dignified Long Fei Ye standing to the side. At this moment, she was clearly stunned. She was immediately certain that this man was the Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, Xuanyuan Ye.
This man was even more charming than she had imagined.
She didn't even look at Han Yunxi. Instead, she stared straight at Long Fei Ye. Long Fei Ye was disgusted. He quickly turned to look at Han Xiang coldly, causing Han Xiang's soul to almost shatter.
Only then did she retract her gaze. Coldly, she said to Han Yunxi, "I heard that you haven't returned to the Great Qin Dynasty yet. Then I'll owe you for calling me sister."
Han Yunxi didn't want to waste time with her. She looked at Han Chen and asked calmly, "Are there any rules for the duel?"
Before Han Chen could answer, Han Xiang said, "Of course there are. You can't use poison!"
