Chapter 1102: Chapter 267: Stepping into the Dragon Realm, Dragon and Phoenix Forge the Golden Core
Lord Jin’s tears?
Zhao Ya looked surprised.
Linglong said, “Yes, it’s Lord Jin’s tears, and then we also need a bit of Phoenix Blood from you, along with some medicine, to refine the Dragon Phoenix Pill. Only then can we neutralize the Golden Snake Gu Poison in his body.”
Zhao Ya replied upon hearing, “Use as much of my blood as you need, as long as it can save him.”
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeve and extended her arm towards Linglong.
Seeing this, Linglong said, “You do have Phoenix Blood, but getting Lord Jin’s tears is no easy task.”
Zhao Ya turned her head to look at Linglong and said, “I’ll go get them.”
Linglong looked at Zhao Ya and said, “If you anger Lord Jin, he might just swallow you whole. But don’t worry, it’s about three days until the fifteenth. On the fifteenth, Lord Jin will gaze at the moon and shed tears, so we can solve the problem of his tears then.”
Hearing this, Zhao Ya said, “That’s great.”
Linglong looked at Zhao Ya and said, “Sister, it’s good news, but he can’t wait three days!”
Zhao Ya turned to look at Chen Jie, and Linglong said, “Based on the progression of his poison, he won’t survive past tomorrow.”
Zhao Ya was stunned and looked at Linglong, “Then, what do we do?”
Linglong sighed, looking at Zhao Ya, and said, “Sister, give up, let him go.”
Zhao Ya said, “No, no matter what, I will save him! You’re telling me there must be a way, Linglong, please help me, save him, won’t you?”
Linglong looked at Zhao Ya in such a state and sighed, “It might cost you your life, sister.”
Zhao Ya said, “I’m not afraid!”
Linglong didn’t understand why Zhao Ya was willing to sacrifice so much and said, “If you want to save him, there’s only one way.”
“Phoenix Blood Suppresses Snake Poison!”
Linglong named the technique.
Zhao Ya was stunned, looking at Linglong, “Phoenix Blood Suppresses Snake Poison?”
Linglong said, “Yes.”
“Use your Phoenix Blood to cover his entire body. It can suppress the snake poison for two hours.”
“Over the next three days, you need to coat his whole body twelve times with your blood. This might exhaust your blood and life force!”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya fell silent for a while and then said, “I understand.”
Linglong looked at Zhao Ya, “Although mother told me that a lover comes only once in a lifetime, but, sister, you have only one life too.”
Zhao Ya said, “I understand, thank you, sister Linglong.”
Linglong nodded and said, “Then sister, I’ll go cook.”
After saying that, Linglong left the room, leaving only Zhao Ya and Chen Jie inside.
At this moment, Chen Jie’s body and face were covered with fine golden snake scales, looking very terrifying.
Zhao Ya slowly drew out the Chrysalis Blade.
She extended her slender left index and middle fingers, gritting her teeth, and made a cut with the blade, instantly causing blood to flow.
The pain between every linked finger was severe, but Zhao Ya endured it.
She pressed her fingers against Chen Jie’s body.
As strange as it sounds, when Zhao Ya’s blood touched the scales on Chen Jie’s body, the scales began to recede slowly, revealing the flesh underneath.
Zhao Ya, seeing that it worked, continued to smear the blood.
But her fingers stopped bleeding after she filled only half of his face.
Zhao Ya picked up the dagger and made another cut.
She reopened the cuts, letting the blood flow again. Zhao Ya endured the severe pain this way, coating Chen Jie’s entire body.
Her blood dripped onto Chen Jie’s body, eagerly absorbed by the flesh like parched land receiving lifeblood.
Chen Jie slowly returned to a normal state.
When Linglong returned, she saw Zhao Ya, now pale, and the Chen Jie on the bed restored to a normal human form.
Seeing Zhao Ya like this, Linglong looked at her left hand, sliced in numerous places with fine cuts, no different from being cut by a thousand blades.
Linglong couldn’t bear it and asked, “Sister, is it worth it?”
Zhao Ya glanced at Linglong and shook her head, saying, “I don’t know!”
Indeed, she really didn’t know. She didn’t know what kind of feelings she had for Chen Jie.
Call it love, but the two were not lovers.
Yet without love, how could she decide to endure ‘a thousand cuts’ for him!
Linglong brought over food, and Zhao Ya ate some. Then Linglong gave Zhao Ya some medicine to replenish her blood and energy.
But replenishing couldn’t keep up with its loss.
After finishing the meal, Zhao Ya rested for a while.
The two hours passed.
The scales on Chen Jie’s body reappeared, and Zhao Ya looked at her pale left hand, unable to squeeze out any more blood, gritted her teeth, and turned to her right hand.
And so, every two hours, every two hours.
Zhao Ya’s hands were so cut up they were unrecognizable.
Helpless, Zhao Ya asked Linglong for a bowl and then slit her wrist.
The blood trickled out.
Linglong watched, feeling pain all over her body.
If it weren’t true love, who could go this far?
A bowl of blood was collected.
Zhao Ya used her fingers to apply the blood onto Chen Jie’s skin, the wounds on her fingers brushing against the cold snake scales, a piercing pain.
Yet she didn’t make a sound.
After this bowl of blood was used up, she felt her head spinning.
And there were ten more bowls, no, eleven bowls of blood to use.
A person’s blood is limited. Even if she is a strong cultivator of the Wolf Smoke Realm, even with her strength, such pain isn’t something ordinary people can endure.
Looking at Zhao Ya like this, Linglong said, “Sister, if he truly survives and treats you poorly, just let me know, and I’ll ‘cut him to pieces’!”
Zhao Ya gave a weak smile, “Don’t tell him.”
“If he wakes up, just say you saved him.”
Linglong asked, “Why? He’s not my lover.”
Zhao Ya said, “Hehe, just do me this favor, will you?”
Linglong frowned but finally seeing Zhao Ya so weak yet insistent, nodded lightly, “Alright, but do hurry and take the medicine.”
