Chapter 1555: Chapter 1377: A Stormy Night in Jianghu

Clan Chief just stared as the monster writhed in pain and anger, stared as the horns on the head of the insect-like creature suddenly shortened by several inches.

"What the hell!" the Clan Chief slammed the bottle in his hand fiercely onto the ground.

What in the world was happening?

Was it because there wasn’t enough blood, or was Xia Dabao’s blood no longer pure enough?

After leaving, he instantly ordered Elder Yun to look into the matter.

After carrying out an investigation, the Clan Chief found no issues with Xia Dabao’s blood. Hong Yan also insisted she was not at fault; she had been loyal all this time and would never tamper with anything.

The Clan Chief then commanded that Hong Yan continue the blood extraction, but this time, the amount of blood needed was to be twice that of the previous occasion.

Xia Dabao looked at the two bottles in Hong Yan’s hands, her head pounding with worry.

"You... Are you taking two bottles at the same time this time?" she felt a tremor in her heart.

She had been frequently feeling dizzy and nauseous recently; continuing to take blood like this, she didn’t know if she would die.

Hong Yan looked at Xia Dabao and found it hard to proceed.

After all, Xia Dabao was just like her, sacrificing herself in a desperate effort to save her younger brother and sister. Now, if she tampered even slightly, she feared the amount of blood the Clan Chief would demand could increase even further.

But when she thought of her sister Hong Xia, she clenched her teeth once more.

It didn’t matter much what happened to others; for her, it was only important that Hong Xia got better.

"Lady Dabao, we’re doing this because there was a slight issue with the original blood, which is why the Clan Chief said we need a large quantity of blood. Please bear with it, and if the results are good this time, we won’t need as much next time," Hong Yan coaxed Xia Dabao.

After speaking, Hong Yan then took out two pills for Xia Dabao, "Your brother’s doing much better, isn’t he? These are two days’ worth of medicine. The Clan Chief said that in a few days, your brother should be able to recover."

Xia Dabao took the two pills and slowly placed them next to Axian.

That’s right, Axian had been waking up for increasingly longer periods lately, especially this morning, when he stayed awake for three hours and even played in the courtyard for a while.

So, how could she give up now?

"Go ahead and take it," Xia Dabao raised her hand towards Hong Yan.

Because of the increased dosage, Hong Yan was no longer using needles, but instead cut directly into Xia Dabao’s wrist, squeezing out the blood and collecting it before sealing the wound.

Throughout this process, Yun Xiao was watching from behind.

After the blood was taken, Xia Dabao’s face turned pale, and she looked utterly spiritless, nothing like the bright and playful girl who had teased him the day before.

Yun Xiao turned and spoke to a nearby peony, "Bring some red date ginger tea."

However, as soon as Yun Xiao finished speaking, Xia Dabao looked up at him.

Was this purple-haired freak showing concern for her?

It really made her uncomfortable; she preferred him a bit colder.

...

Hong Yan took Xia Dabao’s blood out.

She felt she should tamper with it yet again.

She couldn’t control what happened to others, but when it came to Hong Xia, she had to obey the Moon Shadow Clan’s commands. If the Clan Chief indeed succeeded with the monstrous insect, her sister’s life would be in peril.

Just like the last time, she quietly held the bottle in her hand, about to prick her own finger, when she suddenly heard someone calling from behind her, "Little Witch, where do you think you’re going?"

Hong Yan’s scalp tingled. How had this spoiled rich kid followed her again?

Before she could even turn around, Bei Shan had already made his way to her side and slapped her shoulder, "I haven’t seen you in a few days. How have you been?"
