Chapter 220: Chapter 220: You’re Hiding Something

"Don’t, don’t come over..."

Qin Chuan had barely uttered these words when he completely passed out.

In the last instant before he fell unconscious, he saw a face of otherworldly beauty, like that of a fairy.

Only, his voice was too soft; it seemed the other person didn’t hear him at all.

Just as his body was about to hit the ground, that lithe figure promptly rushed over to catch Qin Chuan.

"Wake up, wake up!"

The woman’s face was full of panic as she called out loudly to Qin Chuan, who had already sunk into unconsciousness.

No matter how she shouted, Qin Chuan showed no response, with only an extremely faint heartbeat.

"He’s not going to die, is he?"

The woman’s pretty face was filled with worry as she muttered to herself, "It looks like he’s been poisoned. If he doesn’t get treated soon, he might die quickly."

"With that old crone in the Tianshan Grand Canyon, even if I wanted to take him away, I wouldn’t be able to!"

"No matter what, this is still a life; I can’t just stand by and watch him die, can I?"

"But I can’t leave, and I don’t know anything about medicine, so how am I supposed to save him?"

In a mere ten or so seconds, the woman’s mind was flooded with countless thoughts.

She couldn’t bear to let someone die without helping, but she had no idea how to save him.

While she was anxiously fretting inside, something shocking happened.

"He, he’s absorbing the Celestial Yin Energy inside me!"

The woman looked as if she had seen a ghost, her delicate face full of astonishment.

At this moment, Qin Chuan was like a black hole, crazily absorbing the Celestial Yin Energy within the woman’s body.

As he absorbed more and more Celestial Yin Energy, the Kunlun Divine Poison that had already erupted inside him began to gradually subside.

To be precise, when the Kunlun Divine Poison came into contact with the Celestial Yin Energy, it transformed into an extremely pure Spiritual Energy, converging within Qin Chuan’s Dantian.

After a brief moment of surprise, the woman’s face was filled with excitement, "He can actually neutralize the Celestial Yin Energy inside me!"

If Qin Chuan were to awaken now, he would definitely guess the woman’s identity.

This stunningly beautiful woman was none other than Tang Zhonghan’s granddaughter, Tang Yue’er.

Tang Yue’er joyfully said, "This is great! The Celestial Yin Energy he absorbed from me can actually detoxify him!"

She quickly channelled her Celestial Yin Energy into Qin Chuan’s body.

Time ticked away second by second, and the Kunlun Divine Poison inside Qin Chuan was completely quelled, and his heartbeat and breathing returned to normal levels.

Now, aside from the fact that he had not yet woken up, everything else was no different from that of a normal person.

Seeing this, a gentle smile appeared on Tang Yue’er’s face, which had turned a shade paler, perhaps because she had lost too much Celestial Yin Energy.

"Although I feel somewhat fatigued from having my Celestial Yin Energy absorbed, the torment it caused me has completely disappeared."

It was the first time in her life that Tang Yue’er felt so relaxed in her body.

Because she was born with the Celestial Yin Meridian, she had suffered from it since childhood. On every full moon night, she would be tormented by the cold released within her body to the point of death, then fall into a deep sleep.

It was on a full moon night eight years ago that the Celestial Yin Energy burst forth again, and she fell into a deep, uninterrupted sleep ever since.

She had only just awakened not long ago, only to be taken to the Tianshan Grand Canyon by an old woman.

"If I could always stay by his side, would the Celestial Yin Energy in me never erupt again?"

Suddenly, Tang Yue’er’s eyes lit up, and she said excitedly.

Although she did not understand why Qin Chuan’s body could actively absorb Celestial Yin Energy, she guessed that by staying by Qin Chuan’s side, she could stabilize the Celestial Yin Energy within her body.

Even though a lot of Celestial Yin Energy had been absorbed by Qin Chuan just now, it wouldn’t be long before a large amount of Celestial Yin Energy would condense inside her again.

However, just as she began to consider staying by Qin Chuan’s side, her expression immediately dimmed, and with eyes red with tears, she said, "Even Grandpa is no match for that old hag, if I really follow you and leave, not only will we not be able to escape the Tianshan Grand Canyon, but I might also drag you into this."

When she was with Qin Chuan, she felt not even the slightest discomfort; in fact, she felt exceptionally comfortable.

"Fellow destined one, farewell!"

Tang Yue’er’s eyes brimmed red as she took one last look at Qin Chuan and then left reluctantly.

She didn’t dare stay any longer; if the old hag discovered her, she would surely die.

Twenty minutes later, Tang Yue’er returned to a thatched cottage hidden deep within the Tianshan Grand Canyon.

Inside the cottage, an aged crone with a face full of wrinkles was sitting cross-legged, emanating a formidable aura.

"What took you so long to come back?"

Just as Tang Yue’er prepared to enter, the old crone suddenly opened her snake-like eyes and stared coldly at her.

Tang Yue’er trembled all over and quickly said, "Granny, I have gathered the Tian Serpent Grass that you needed."

As she spoke, she placed a basket full of Tian Serpent Grass in front of the old crone.

"Smack!"

The old crone raised her hand and slapped Tang Yue’er across the face; Tang Yue’er was sent flying out of the thatched cottage.

"Don’t you understand my question?"

Leaning on a cane, the old crone walked out of the cottage and stared coldly at Tang Yue’er, who was lying on the ground, and asked.

With tears swirling in her eyes from the pain, Tang Yue’er bit her lip and got up from the ground, saying with a face full of fear, "While I was picking the Tian Serpent Grass, my Celestial Yin Energy erupted again, so I was delayed returning."

She had anticipated that the old crone would question her, so on her way back, she had already thought of an excuse.

"Oh?"

The old crone seemed very surprised, her figure flashed, and she instantly appeared in front of Tang Yue’er, grabbing her wrist. Her expression quickly turned very grave.

"This doesn’t make sense!"

The old crone muttered to herself, "It’s not the night of the full moon, so how could the Celestial Yin Energy erupt?"

"Unless it’s not the full moon, then only a poison cold enough to induce extreme Yin could stimulate the eruption of Celestial Yin Energy."

Hearing the old crone’s muttering, Tang Yue’er felt a shock in her heart; she had almost guessed correctly.

The man she had encountered was clearly afflicted with a strange poison.

The cold eyes of the old crone suddenly fixed on Tang Yue’er, and she asked in a cold voice, "Before the eruption of Celestial Yin Energy, did you come across any strangely poisonous creatures?"

Tang Yue’er shook her head and said, "It was too dark, I’m not sure if I accidentally touched some poisonous creature."

Of course, she wouldn’t reveal the truth; if she did, the man would be in danger.

The old crone’s brows were tightly furrowed, deep in thought.

After a while, she suddenly said, "Take me to the place where your Celestial Yin Energy erupted just now."

The color drained from Tang Yue’er’s face instantly.

She had thought of an excuse for coming back late but hadn’t expected the old crone to demand that she lead her to the place where the Celestial Yin Energy had erupted.

If she really took the old crone there, the man would be doomed.

"Hmm?"

The old crone frowned and asked sternly, "Are you hiding something from me?"
