Chapter 464: Chapter 464 The Truth Begins to Emerge (3)_1

"You’re applying medicine to her?!" Little Douzi exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Nian Hua’s words.

Nian Hua glared at Little Douzi and said, "I’m the only woman here; if I don’t apply the medicine, do you expect to do it?! All you men, get out of here, really!"

Little Douzi quickly shook his head and mumbled, "Don’t you dislike touching others or applying medicine to them? You usually just toss them a bottle of elixir and that’s it. And now, you’re actually going to apply medicine to the mistress, my surprise should be allowed!"

Nian Hua threw the medicine bottle she had just taken out at Little Douzi and scolded, "You cheeky brat, Little Douzi, how dare you gossip about me! Haven’t you left yet?! If the medicine is applied too late and she ends up with scars, don’t blame me then!"

Qie Yue and the others had turned and left, with Hei Zi taking Ni Yun to arrange accommodation, while Little Baiqiu on Liu Yun’s shoulder jumped down and ran to the bedside of Dugu Qianye, lying there with red eyes.

Seeing Zio Xiao standing motionless, Nian Hua asked, "Aren’t you leaving, my lord?"

"I want to stay with her," Zio Xiao shook his head and said.

"Sigh, I never thought the day would come when you’d turn into such a romantic," Nian Hua shook her head and added, "I think she wouldn’t want you to see her like this, right?"

Zi Xiao glanced at the person still unconscious, clenched the Fire Spirit Pearl in his hand and said, "Fine. Then I’ll come back in a while." With that, he turned and left.

Nian Hua looked at the person on the bed and said, "All right, you can wake up now."

Dugu Qianye slowly opened her eyes to see a beautiful woman sitting beside her, smiling at her.

"Thank you," Dugu Qianye said, her voice so weak it was almost inaudible without close listening.

She had awakened when she was brought to Zio Xiao’s chamber but, thinking how frightening her current state must be, she continued to feign unconsciousness. Nian Hua realized she had awakened when she inspected her injuries.

When Little Baiqiu saw Dugu Qianye open her eyes, it said, "Keke, you’ve finally woken up, you scared me to death! Wuu wuu..."

Dugu Qianye saw the tears in Little Baiqiu’s eyes and wanted to reach out to comfort it; just moving her hand a little caused her such pain that she drew in a sharp breath and consoled, "Qiuqiu, I’m fine now, don’t cry!"

"Young lady, how can you bear to torment yourself like this, tsk tsk," Nian Hua shook her head and took out a medicine bottle, saying, "This medicine will treat the wounds on your body, but it’s quite painful, you’ll have to endure it!"

"Baihua Cream?" Dugu Qianye identified the medicine as soon as Nian Hua opened the bottle, and with a bitter smile, she said, "Can you give me a few Restoration Pills first? Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t have the strength to bear this!"

Baihua Cream is a top-grade ointment for treating external injuries; no matter how severe the injury, as long as it is applied, recovery is possible, though the time needed varies with the severity of the injury. While the cream is effective, the pain it causes is akin to bones being gnawed upon, and often those who didn’t cry out in pain from their injuries would end up screaming in agony from the cream.

Nian Hua hadn’t expected Dugu Qianye to recognize Baihua Cream just by its smell and asked, "Do you know medical arts?"

"A little," she replied.

"Can you perform alchemy?"

"Yes."

Nian Hua nodded and said, "No wonder you know how to protect the vital parts of your body. If it were anyone else, they’d probably be dead by now!"

Dugu Qianye smiled and did not continue the conversation.

Nian Hua took out a Restoration Pill and gave it to Dugu Qianye to ingest. Once her spirit had recovered, he began to peel off the fiber chunks from her body, one by one, many of which were stuck to her flesh. Despite his careful movements, Dugu Qianye still winced in pain and broke out in a cold sweat.

Afterward, Nian Hua wiped down her body and then applied Baihua Cream to her. At first, there was a cool sensation, which was soon followed by a searing pain. Dugu Qianye felt like her body was no longer her own, and she even bit through her lips!

Knowing how Baihua Cream felt on the skin, Nian Hua saw that Dugu Qianye hadn’t made a sound and nodded in appreciation. He had seen many women in the Nine Heavens Mystic Realm, but very few impressed him. He gave her a piece of cork to bite on, saying, "You girls really don’t take care of yourselves!"

Dugu Qianye wanted to respond, but at that moment, she was in so much pain that her vision blurred, and ultimately, she passed out again.

Zi Xiao stepped outside and saw Qie Yue and the others, saying, "Qie Yue, I have a task for you."

"What task?" Qie Yue asked.

Zi Xiao raised his right hand, and a stream of spiritual power coalesced, enveloping the Fire Spirit Pearl with it, which slowly turned into a milky white net. After completing the task, he threw the Fire Spirit Pearl to Qie Yue and said, "This Fire Spirit Pearl probably hasn’t bathed in a million years. Take it to the ice spring to wash and soak in the ice water. Keep the net close; if it falls to the bottom of the ice spring, you’ll have to dive in and fetch it yourself."

The Fire Spirit Pearl, now wrapped in the net and devoid of the power to resist, looked at Zi Xiao and said, "What are you going to do to me?"

"Nothing much, just asking you to take a bath!" Zi Xiao replied with a smile, then waved his hand to Qie Yue, who left with the Fire Spirit Pearl.

"My lord, is the lady alright?" Xiu Luo and the others came in, bowed respectfully and asked.

"Nian Hua is inside treating her," Zi Xiao said, "You guys tighten the surveillance on Yong Xing’s people. Since he failed with Vermilion Bird, he will definitely search everywhere for Little Yeye’s whereabouts. Now that the Fire Spirit Pearl has left Lamari Flame Mountain, Yong Xing will surely go there to investigate. Whatever moves he makes next, I want you to keep a close eye on them!"

"Yes, my lord!" Xiu Luo and Xiu Sha took the command and left, leaving the room filled with people quietly waiting.

Fengwu Continent, Lamari Flame Mountain.

Silver light shimmered in the midair, and two figures appeared above Lamari Flame Mountain.

"My lord, the Fire Spirit Pearl is gone!" Qiong Qi said, looking at the mountain peak and seeing nothing.

Yong Xing’s face was grave as he observed the scene below. The flames that had burned for a million years were much weaker, and the fire on many mountain tops had extinguished. The thin membrane that had blocked him before was also gone. With a thought, he found himself at the mountain peak where the Fire Spirit Pearl had resided.

Qiong Qi followed him down, looked at the bare mountains, and said, "My lord, the Fire Spirit Pearl has a volatile temper and does not recognize anyone; it even injured you last time! Who could have tamed the Fire Spirit Pearl?"

Yong Xing was silent for a moment, then said, "She has returned!"

"She? My lord, who is she?" Qiong Qi asked, "Is she the Creator God?"

"Other than her, the Fire Spirit Pearl would listen to no one’s orders! Now that the Fire Spirit Pearl has left Lamari, there’s only one possibility: she has returned!" Yong Xing said with a grim face, "She is back, and we did not receive any news at all, a bunch of useless wastes!"

"Those useless things, I will deal with them when I get back!" Qiong Qi said, clearly not valuing the lives of those individuals. Suddenly, she noticed a piece of gold on the mountainside, reflecting the sunlight. She swooped down, only to discover that it was actually a human bone!
