Chapter 1713 - 1712: Ling’er’s Sacrifice
"Boom!!"
As Qin Feng inserted the last needle into one of the Holy Daughter’s acupoints, her entire body radiated with a blazing light, sending a wave of energy outwards.
Qin Feng couldn’t withstand it, collapsing onto the ground, gasping for air.
After the energy wave passed, Ling’er saw Qin Feng lying weakly, while the Holy Daughter still glowed with fiery golden light, looking bewildered and unsure of what to do. "Now... what should we do?"
"First, remove the needles!"
Qin Feng said.
He wanted to do it himself, but he no longer had the strength.
Ling’er and Mei Niang swiftly removed all the more than a thousand silver needles from the Holy Daughter’s body.
"And then?"
Ling’er anxiously asked again.
At this moment, the light from the Holy Daughter’s body had dissipated, but she remained in a deep sleep.
Qin Feng struggled to grasp her wrist, taking her pulse, and then couldn’t help but furrow his brow more and more tightly.
Seeing his expression, Ling’er couldn’t help but feel a pang of worry, blankly saying, "Is Miss okay?"
Qin Feng’s expression grew increasingly solemn. He then looked up at Mei Niang and said, "Could you step out for a moment?"
"Oh??"
At this point, Mei Niang was also startled and said, "It’s okay, no matter what the result is, we can handle it, just tell us!"
As she spoke, tears were already flowing from Ling’er’s eyes.
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "No, the treatment isn’t over yet, but it’s inconvenient for you, so please step out for a moment."
Hearing that the treatment hadn’t finished, Mei Niang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, I’ll go out then."
The room quieted down.
Ling’er was now sobbing uncontrollably and said to Qin Feng, "I know being left alone means you have bad news for me, right?"
Saying this, she cried even harder.
Having grown up with the Holy Daughter, their bond surpassed everyone else’s. Whenever the Holy Daughter was in trouble, she felt worse than anyone else.
"No..."
Qin Feng shook his head again and said, "As I said earlier, the treatment isn’t over yet..."
"Oh? Really?" Ling’er exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, but... I need your help," Qin Feng said. "We need to hurry."
Ling’er hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "Tell me, what should I do?"
"Take off my clothes..."
Qin Feng said.
"Ah??"
Ling’er was confused.
Qin Feng forced a bitter smile and said, "I’m sorry, I have no choice. You know how powerful the ’Dragon Elephant Sky Deceit Needle’ is, and now I can’t exert any strength. But Xing’er’s treatment isn’t finished, and it can’t be delayed, so I must heal myself first..."
"Heal you? But, I don’t know any medical skills..." Ling’er said anxiously.
Qin Feng’s face was embarrassed and said again, "I’m asking you to undress me..."
"..."
Seeing Qin Feng’s embarrassed look, Ling’er suddenly understood, her eyes wide in shock as she said, "You mean... you want me to cultivate the ’Mandarin Duck Treasure Book’ with you??!!"
"...Yes."
Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said.
There was no choice.
His body’s condition was extraordinary right now due to the ’Dragon Elephant Sky Deceit Needle,’ with the ’Creation and Regeneration’ breath infused into the silver needles, preventing him from using ’Creation and Regeneration’ to recover or any elixir assistance.
The best solution was the ’Mandarin Duck Treasure Book,’ using her energy to help him recover slightly, and then using ’Creation and Regeneration’ to fully recover.
The dilemma was.
Only the Twelve Wanderers, the Medicine King, Mei Niang, the Luo Shui Divine Doctor, and Ling’er were present.
The Medicine King and Mei Niang were out of the question, the Luo Shui Divine Doctor was unconscious, and although he had surpassing times with Shuiyun Immortal from the Twelve Wanderers in Kunlun Mist Cloud, he was unaware and embarrassed, leaving only Li’er as the choice.
"I really have no other option; this is the only way at the moment..."
Qin Feng said with a wry smile.
"..."
Linger’s mind went blank at this moment, completely unsure of what to say.
She glanced at the still sleeping Holy Daughter, then at Qin Feng, who was forcing a smile.
Finally.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I’ll listen to you..."
...
Soon.
Qin Feng, after a struggle, finally recovered a bit, immediately standing up to use ’Creation and Regeneration’ energy to heal his body. Without delay, he placed one hand on the chest of the Holy Daughter, using ’Creation and Regeneration’ energy to treat her.
Having undergone purification by the Nanli Divine Fire, Water Immortal Power, and the ’Dragon Elephant Sky Deceit Needle,’ her injuries were now treatable with the ’Creation and Regeneration’ energy.
Indeed.
A quarter of an hour later, with the continuous infusion of energy from Qin Feng, the Holy Daughter slowly opened her eyes.
"It’s done!"
Qin Feng then sat down, wiping the sweat off his forehead, revealing gleaming white teeth and a face full of smiles.
No matter what.
The Holy Daughter was finally healed; there was no better news under the heavens than this.
The Holy Daughter now sat up, raised her hands to feel her body, indeed fully recovered, and looked at the sweat-soaked Qin Feng beside her, eyes like autumn moons, filled with affection, she said, "Thank you..."
"No, don’t thank me." Qin Feng waved his hand, "Thank Ling’er; she gave so much for you..."
At this moment, Ling’er had already dressed, and hearing Qin Feng’s words, her face flushed red in a "swish," as she dared not look at the Holy Daughter.
The Holy Daughter had always been devoted to Qin Feng, Qin Feng had always been avoiding her, yet in the end, she was the first with Qin Feng in that manner; this filled her with deep guilt and self-reproach.
"Ling’er, thank you for your hard work..."
The Holy Daughter said gratefully.
Ling’er’s tears flowed like a breached river while trying to explain, but the Holy Daughter continued, "I know this period, you’ve been worried about me, running back and forth for me. I truly appreciate it..."
"..."
Ling’er suddenly felt relieved.
Turns out the Holy Daughter didn’t know about her situation with Qin Feng... But how to tell her?
At this moment, Qin Feng said, "Actually, she did more than just that..."
Ling’er, startled, urgently pinched Qin Feng’s arm, signaling with her eyes for him to stop.
One was out of fear to face the Holy Daughter.
The second was worried that the Holy Daughter might not handle it well if she knew, and with her recently healed wounds being stimulated again.
Seeing this, Qin Feng said nothing further, raising his head to look at the Holy Daughter.
The Holy Daughter’s face flushed slightly, her gaze cast downwards.
Seeing their appearance, Ling’er felt like a third wheel, hurriedly standing up, saying, "I’ll step out to see when we can eat."
Perhaps she was too forceful just now, and now she was hungry.
The room quieted down.
Qin Feng was about to get up, but the Holy Daughter gently grabbed his hand.
He looked up.
Seeing the Holy Daughter looking at him reluctantly, thinking he was about to leave.
In an instant.
Qin Feng’s heart ached, realizing he owed her too much.
"Don’t worry."
Qin Feng grasped her hand, locking eyes, "I’m not going anywhere!"
