Chapter 306: Can You Move Your Hand Now?

It had always been publicly acknowledged that Wu Longfei, Devil Fairy, and Wu Chi were the strongest of their generation . As for Chen Zilong, like Xiang Shaoyun, he had suddenly emerged in the Land of Soul Springs . With his overbearingly powerful Qilin Arms, he defeated Han Chen the Blackfrost Spear from the Black Ice Palace, making a name for himself .

Now, Chen Zilong was challenging Wu Chi the Moha Cicada from Buddha's Path Temple . Not many people possessed that kind of courage . As for Wu Longfei, he was known as the number one young swordsman, a person who had comprehended sword intent . One slash of his was capable of changing the world and the heavens .

For someone his age, such a strength was enough to dominate all his peers . The Devil Fairy was the number one genius of the Devil Blood Society with numerous trump cards up her sleeve . Just the fact that she dared challenge Wu Longfei was proof of her strength .

Xiang Shaoyun felt his blood boiling hearing about the challenges being thrown about . Who wouldn't want to be number one among one's peers? Sure, reputation might be vain and empty, but it was still something one could be proud of .

Forget it . These quarrels between children are beneath this young master . My opponents should be those at the Skysoar Realm and beyond, Xiang Shaoyun ultimately told himself .

After leaving the Land of Soul Springs, it would be time for him to depart from the Cloud Margin Pavilion . Otherwise, he would risk being discovered by his enemies . He planned to look for a place to cultivate and reach the Skysoar Realm first . After that, he would seek Devouring Ghost's advice on how to grow even faster . That was his current priority .

His intuition was telling him that those traitors were getting near . If they were still not here after searching for him for so long, they would all turn into the Ziling Sect's greatest source of embarrassment .

After half a day of recuperating, Liang Zhuangmin was brimming with vitality again . He had only sustained some external injuries in the first place and a few internal injuries . After some bandaging and rest, he had mostly recovered .

The others had not recovered as quickly, but they had still recovered enough to regain mobility . They all gathered and waited for the command to leave . The ones here were the ones who had stayed loyal and remained in face of danger and overwhelming odds, and they were decent comrades to have .

Liang Zhuangmin told the few Free Society members left to leave and return to the outside world . Out there, with Cloud Margin Pavilion elders watching over them, they would be safe . As for the Red House members, they all waited for Hua Honglou to wake up before making a decision .

However, Hua Honglou seemed to be in bad shape . Her aura was weakening, and a shade of black covered her face . It was obvious she had failed to push out the poison within her and had even allowed the poison to spread . Xiang Shaoyun and Liang Zhuangmin became anxious when they saw her condition .

"She does not seem to be doing well," said Liang Zhuangmin .

Xiang Shaoyun frowned . "Big brother, can you stand guard for us? I will help her expel the poison . "

After saying that, he walked over and lifted Hua Honglou as he said, "Honglou, hang on . I'll help you expel the poison . "

Hua Honglou opened her eyes and blinked weakly in response . Xiang Shaoyun then brought her to a concealed spot and helped her sit down in the lotus position before doing so himself . He then studied Hua Honglou's injuries and found that the wound was near her heart . The moment the poison spread to her heart, she would die .

"Your flame power is not enough to expel the poison . Let me transfer a strand of millennium earthcore fire to you . Refine it and expel the poison," said Xiang Shaoyun .

Hua Honglou nodded weakly . Xiang Shaoyun then placed his hand on the wound .

“Uhnn . ”

Hua Honglou groaned with an expression of pain on her face . Inwardly however, she was feeling extremely bashful . The spot where Xiang Shaoyun had placed his hand was too sensitive, and with his large hand, he had cupped the entirety of a certain spot on her chest .

That spot felt extremely nice to touch . It was a handful, and coupled with Hua Honglou's groan, Xiang Shaoyun felt his blood stirring . Fortunately, he knew his current priority . He quickly cleared his mind of all distracting thoughts before sending a strand of Yun Flame's energy toward the wound . He controlled the strand of energy carefully, as the strand must travel slowly and bit by bit . Otherwise, he would burn Hua Honglou's heart before expelling the poison .

With the strand of energy from Yun Flame, a large portion of the poison was instantly cleared . The poison was pushed away from her heart, but it started spreading to other parts of her body instead .

Xiang Shaoyun focused on protecting Hua Honglou's heart with the flame energy, not allowing the poison to continue damaging her heart . His other hand gripped Hua Honglou's hand as he sent a tiny strand of Yun Flame's energy there . "Immediately refine this strand of millennium earthcore fire and use it to fight the poison . "

Hua Honglou did not delay and quickly circulated her cultivation method . The strand of energy caused her pain, but she still drew it into her stars and started refining it . Expression of pain appeared on her face, but the pain was still bearable for her .

After all, this strand of flame was sent over by Xiang Shaoyun, and it was relatively mild . Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for her to tame and refine it .

Hua Honglou had always been a genius cultivator . She was able to quickly refine the flame energy, and she started circulating it around her body to combat the poison . However, she did not have enough flame energy and so she requested more from Xiang Shaoyun .

At the request, Xiang Shaoyun sent a bigger strand of Yun Flame's energy over . Borrowing her previous experience, Hua Honglou was able to quickly refine this strand of energy . The flame power within her strengthened, and more of the poison was cleared from her body .

This continued for a few times until finally, Hua Honglou regained a rosy complexion . Evidently, she had fully expelled the poison in her body . Her aura seemed to have grown as well, and it seemed like she was going to enter the Skysoar Realm soon . She finally opened her eyes, looking at the face right in front of her, etching that handsome face in her mind .

"How are you?" Xiang Shaoyun asked .

"I'm fine now," said Hua Honglou .

"Do you want to double check? You can't be careless . This poison does not fear ordinary flames, so it is obvious how strong it is," advised Xiang Shaoyun seriously .

"Um, I know . I have already checked a few times . I think I'm good," Hua Honglou said .

"Good . It's good that you're fine . Otherwise, I would have lost a bed warming maid just like that!" lamented Xiang Shaoyun .

"I'm fine, so can you move your hand now?" Hua Honglou asked as she looked straight at Xiang Shaoyun .

"Uhm . . . oh . . . I was worried that there might still be some poison left in you . I'll remove my hand now," said Xiang Shaoyun .

He then grudgingly removed his hand from Hua Honglou's chest .

But after he removed the hand, Hua Honglou said, "In truth, if you want to continue putting your hand there, I won't blame you . "

Xiang Shaoyun had the urge to put his hand back on her chest, but it was too bad she had already stood up and walked away .
