No one knew what illness it was, and no one could cure it.

Head of the Gu Family had already called all of the city's doctors over, but they only shook their heads and returned.

Helpless, the Head of the Gu Family could only use his life to force his hand. Only a famous doctor had been able to say something that had been more useful up until now.

"You must have offended someone from the 'Ashen Flame Gate'. Only someone from the 'Ashen Flame Gate' would poison you with such a vicious poison." The doctor waved his hand, signalling for him not to stand in his way any longer. "It's useless. It's useless searching for his name."

"If you wish to cure this poison, sir, you can only personally make a trip to the 'Ashen Flames Gate'."

Time and time again, his treatment was rejected, and the Head of the Gu Family had lost all hope.

Cang Yan Sect? If a sect were to be targeted by it, it would definitely not be able to survive for long. However, the 'Ashen Flame Sect' would not easily take the initiative to attack them. Why would they lay their hands on a little girl from the Gu Family this time around?

Head of the Gu Family looked at Gu Ling Hua's continuously corroding and festering face, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He helplessly sighed and left Gu Ling Hua's room.

Sometimes choices are more important than decisions.

If he really offended a member of the 'Blue Flame Sect' …

He would rather not have his daughter.

Inside the imperial bath, Mu Rong Hong Yu was lying in the hot spring alone, enjoying the warm feeling of the spring water.

In the entire bathroom, there was only one person, but Mu Rong Hong Yu suddenly felt that someone was staring at him.

Instantly, he opened his eyes. A delicate and pretty yet extremely dazzling woman was sitting comfortably on the other side of the bath, splashing water with her bare feet gently. She looked at Mu Rong Hong Yu with a smile in her eyes.

Gu Ling Xue.

It was unknown if it was joy or fear in Mu Rong Hong Yu's eyes, but he, who was lying in the water, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Gu Ling Xue sized him up without restraint, making him feel like he was being investigated while standing in front of her naked body.

"You?" Mu Rong Hong Yu opened his mouth, just as he was about to ask something, he suddenly saw Gu Ling Xue slowly raise her hands.

On her pure white hand, a purplish glowing pill was quietly lying in the middle of her palm.

"Nine Yin Soul Gathering Pellet?"

A pleasantly surprised feeling instantly filled his entire body. Mu Rong Hong Yu stood up and walked towards Gu Ling Xue without hesitation, completely disregarding the fact that her body had already surpassed the halfway mark on the water surface.

A firm chest, a firm belly, and

Gu Ling Xue squinted her eyes and sized up Mu Rong Hong Yu's body unrestrainedly, she clenched her fist tightly, covering the Nine Yin Soul Gathering Pellet's radiance, Gu Ling Xue shook her head, and her mouth kept on making "tsk tsk" sounds.

Mu Rong Hong Yu was startled, and then looked down at his own body in shock.

At this time, the water in the bathtub had only spread to Mu Rong Hong Yu's calves.

Because they were too close to Gu Ling Xue, most of the water droplets fell onto her body.

Unsurprisingly, Gu Ling Xue's beautiful figure and exquisite curves were clearly visible.

At this time, Gu Ling Xue could not help but frown, and her expression slowly changed.

"I, no, I, I didn't mean to." Due to the series of predicament, and the excessive joy just now, Mu Rong Hong Yu had completely forgotten about his Emperor's arrogance. At this moment, in front of Gu Ling Xue, he was like a child who knew his wrongs, and his head was lowered, afraid that he would make Gu Ling Xue unhappy.

Gu Ling Xue casually patted the wet hem of her skirt, and looked in disgust at the large portion of her clothes that were already wet in front of her. Suddenly, Gu Ling Xue flicked her attention to a piece of Dragon Robe on the clothes rack by the side of the bathroom.

Smiling at Mu Rong Hong Yu, Gu Ling Xue lifted his hand and the Dragon Robe accurately appeared in his hand. The gentle tone carried a trace of unquestionable decisiveness.

Gu Ling Xue asked: "You promised me?"

Mu Rong Hong Yu had not been able to understand the meaning behind Gu Ling Xue taking the dragon robe, and only replied after hearing her question: "It's all prepared, I only need to wait for you to give me the medicine before I can immediately read out the decree."

Gu Ling Xue nodded her chin in satisfaction, and then took out her feet that had been playing in the bathtub, and stood by the side. Without saying anything unnecessary, Gu Ling Xue draped the dragon robe over her body.

The wide dragon robe that covered the lean body of Gu Ling Xue actually had a different kind of flavor to it.

Mu Rong Hong Yu looked at Gu Ling Xue who was on top of the bath, and then looked at herself in the water. She wasn't angry because Gu Ling Xue was wearing a dragon robe, but instead, felt that she seemed to have no clothes on.

Seeing Mu Rong Hong Yu's doubt, the remaining clothes on the clothes rack were flung towards Mu Rong Hong Yu under Gu Ling Xue's command.

Due to his impatience and the fact that he had obtained the Nine Yin Soul Gathering Pellet, Mu Rong Hong Yu helplessly received the clothes that were thrown at him.

Gu Ling Xue also did not delay any further, opening up a path for Mu Rong Hong Yu, indicating him to open the door to the secret room.

Mu Rong Hong Yu walked forward, and easily opened the door to the secret room. As he walked in, his mind was filled with all of Gu Ling Xue's figures.

How could there be such a special woman in this world?

The journey through the secret chamber this time was much longer than before. Mu Rong Hong Yu took two steps forward and turned his head back from time to time to confirm if Gu Ling Xue was still following him.

He had been waiting for this moment for too long.

Ten years.

When he was able to see the Sedum once again, Mu Rong Hong Yu was panicking a little.

He wasn't sure if she still loved him; he wasn't sure if she still hated him; there were too many unknowns about everything.

Mu Rong Hong Yu clenched his fist tightly, revealing his Master's nervous heart.

Soon, they would arrive.

The narrow passageway suddenly became spacious and transparent.

As usual, the Sedum laid on the ice stone quietly without any signs of life.

Mu Rong Hong Yu walked forward, turned around and looked at Gu Ling Xue who had always been following behind him.

However, both eyes were fixated on Gu Ling Xue's right hand — — That place, was a good medicine that could cure the pain he had felt for the past few decades.

Receiving Mu Rong Hong Yu's gaze, Gu Ling Xue, who had been silently watching by the side, lifted her leg and slowly walked towards the ice rock.

There was a lotus pond surrounded by ice and stone, and in the center of the lotus pond, there was only a small winding path. If this was a normal one, then from afar, this lotus pond looked no different from an ordinary river.

But when he stepped onto it, Gu Ling Xue was surprised to realize that on top of the lotus pond, as long as he stepped on the lotus pond, a flower would instantly bloom in the originally jade green water.

The scene was extremely beautiful.

Slowly walking to Mu Rong Hong Yu's side, he walked in to look at the girl atop the ice stone. Only now did Gu Ling Xue finally see through her original appearance.

Although she did not have a devastatingly beautiful appearance, she was still considered outstanding within the Xilan.

After secretly praising Mu Rong Hong Yu's taste, Gu Ling Xue slowly raised her right hand. The purple light that was originally concealed was now even brighter.

Gu Ling Xue gazed at the pill that was not easy to obtain, and suddenly felt that she was a little reluctant.

When she was refining this pellet, Gu Ling Hua's appearance at the most critical moment had completely disrupted Gu Ling Xue's plans. She had no choice but to hide the furnace in the mysterious space and secretly refine it when the house was facing Gu Ling Hua.

This was also the first time since he started learning alchemy that he had carried out blind training. He did not want to see the alchemy process to be completely dependent on his own senses.

This was her first time, and for the first time in the coming year, she had obtained a superior grade seven medicinal pill.

Gu Ling Xue could not help but feel some regret.

Such an important and memorable pill, at this moment, was about to be used as a tool for Gu Ling Xue to exchange with him. (TL: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU))

Helplessly sighing, Gu Ling Xue gestured for Mu Rong Hong Yu who was in the way to leave.

Following which, his right hand jerked, and the Nine Yin Soul Gathering Pellet floated at the top of the ice rock.

The pill rotated slowly, and with a speed that could not be seen with the naked eye, it quickly transferred the spirit energy from the pill into Sedum's body.

Gu Ling Xue nodded her head in satisfaction. Seems like the situation wasn't as bad as he had imagined.

At least, this woman had no resistance to the absorption of the Yin energy.

Gradually releasing the power that was controlling the pill, allowing the pill to be absorbed without restraint by the Sedum, Gu Ling Xue suddenly spoke: "Miss has a Pure Yin Body, this Nine Yin Soul Gathering Pellet is a Pure Yin Object. Thus, even if the pellet is healed properly, there will still be repercussions.

Hearing Gu Ling Xue's words, her originally relaxed heart was once again moved by these short words.

Aftereffects?

Mu Rong Hong Yu's eyes stared fixedly at the woman whose complexion was gradually calming down, and an unexplainable uneasiness immediately appeared in his heart.

He couldn't tell where this feeling came from, but the feeling in his heart was extremely strong.

After about an incense stick of time, the woman on top of the ice rock moved her fingers slightly.

Mu Rong Hong Yu noticed this minuscule detail and immediately went forward to sit beside the woman. He tightly held onto the woman's hand and continuously muttered: "Sedum."

Her eyelashes, which were like the wings of a butterfly, trembled. Finally, under the gaze of Gu Ling Xue and Mu Rong Hong Yu, the person on the bed slowly opened her eyes.

"Where is this?"

The gentle and beautiful voice from his memory sounded once again by his ear, causing Mu Rong Hong Yu's heart to immediately drift back to the times when he had interacted with the Sedum.

"Who are you?" His innocent eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the two people beside the bed, but his helpless gaze had ruthlessly touched Mu Rong Hong Yu's heart.

"Sedum, I'm your hubby. Don't you remember?"

He grasped Sedum's hand tightly and felt even more helpless.

[I've gone through so many hardships to find a famous doctor, but when you woke up, you didn't remember me?]

Sedum looked at the couple in front of him with suspicion. Even if she thought about it, she would not have the slightest impression of them, but, the hand that Mu Rong Hong Yu was tightly grabbing, suddenly felt a pain, and forcefully pulled out the hand that Mu Rong Hong Yu was tightly grabbing, and said: "You're hurting me."

Gu Ling Xue stood far away, her hands folded across her chest. Looking at the panicked look on the lady on the bed, she couldn't help but cough and remind her, "Don't be impatient."
