Chapter 17 - Chapter 17 Don't Be Afraid, I'm Here_1

"Soul? What is that?" Zhang Zifeng asked.

"People have three souls and seven spirits; the three souls are the heavenly soul, the earthly soul, and the human soul. The heavenly soul governs life, the earthly soul governs the body, and the human soul governs breath," you explained to the people around you. "If what Zhao'er said is true, and she has lost her human soul, that would explain her current state of suspended animation."

Qianling Xian immediately asked, "Is there a way to revive her?"

You didn't answer but instead took off your gloves, extended a finger, and gently placed it on her forehead. At that moment, what appeared in your mind was not an image but a person—a girl with a smooth body and a beautiful face.

She was the body in front of you, only now you were seeing her earthly soul.

"Tell me what happened to you, and I'll find a way to retrieve your human soul and skin."

However, the girl couldn't speak. She just kept gesturing with her hands and pointing in a direction.

At first, you were somewhat puzzled until she made a mirror-gazing gesture.

Suddenly, you opened your eyes and looked up at the wardrobe by the bed, which had a mirror as tall as a person embedded in it!

Qianling Xian was standing in front of the mirror!

At that moment, you saw ripples on the mirror's surface, like those on water, and a hand suddenly reached out toward Qianling Xian's shoulder!

"Be careful!"

Before you could finish speaking, you lunged toward Qianling Xian!

In the blink of an eye, you grabbed Qianling Xian's slender waist, while the hand had already pulled her upper body into the mirror!

"What are you waiting for, help me!"

With your shout, the people around you hurriedly came forward to grab you, and together you pulled Qianling Xian's upper body out of the mirror.

When Qianling Xian was pulled out, you also saw a hand as dry as kindling.

"What is that thing?" Hu Zhiyuan screamed from the side, completely lacking the decisiveness and bravery of a police officer.

At the same time, several more withered hands reached out from the mirror, directly grabbing at Qianling Xian!

At the critical moment, you shouted, "Zhao'er, smash the mirror!"

Zhao'er stepped forward quickly, her palm glowing as she struck the mirror, which immediately cracked and shattered with a "ping!" into pieces.

After the mirror shattered, the hands that had reached out turned into black smoke, and half an arm was still clutching Qianling Xian's shoulder.

"Ugh!"

Qianling Xian winced in pain, her face turning very pale, and her lips took on a chilling dark purple color.

"Qianling, what's wrong with you?" Hu Zhiyuan rushed in, clumsily trying to pry the arm off Qianling Xian's shoulder.

"Wait!"

You called out urgently.

"Get out of my way!" Hu Zhiyuan pointed at you and cursed, "Qianling is General Xian's most beloved granddaughter. If anything happens to her, I'll make you pay with your life!"

Watching Hu Zhiyuan's aggressive stance, you felt a surge of adrenaline and reflexively swung a punch at his right cheek!

"Bang!"

At that moment, everyone clearly saw two teeth flying out of Hu Zhiyuan's mouth, and he was knocked to the ground by your punch.

"You... you dare to hit me, I..."

"Shut your mouth!" you yelled at Hu Zhiyuan. "If you want Qianling Xian to live, just stay out of the way! The more you mess around, the deeper the corpse poison will penetrate her!"

"Corpse poison?" Zhang Zifeng looked at you in astonishment. Although he didn't seem reliable most of the time, he appeared much more composed now, "What do we do now? Should we call someone from Chu Gate?"

Chu Gate?

This was the first time you had heard of such an organization, but it was too late to call for help now. The corpse poison in Qianling Xian was too deep, and you had to suck it out now, or she wouldn't last a few minutes before turning into a walking corpse!

Thinking this, you didn't know what came over you, but you tore off the withered hand from her shoulder and ripped open Qianling Xian's collar.

"What are you doing!?"

Hu Zhiyuan exclaimed.

What Zhang Zifeng and the others saw, however, were five deep claw marks on Qianling Xian's shoulder, forming a dark purple network that was penetrating deep into her body!

"Damn it, if I'm going to die, then so be it!"

You cursed and bent down to bite Qianling Xian's wound.

"Umm!"

Qianling Xian moaned in pain, her brows tightly furrowed. She was still conscious and felt the toxins in her body gradually flowing out through the wound, being sucked into your body. Her eyes flickered, revealing emotions that others couldn't understand.

From the perspective of the others, what you were doing seemed quite erotic, but only you knew the pain involved.

You were aware of the severity of corpse poison and understood that the poison you were sucking in could very well kill you, but for some reason, you just did it.

This damn hero saving the beauty!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qianling Xian's complexion gradually improved. When her face regained its color, you stumbled backward and fell.

Zhao'er caught you just in time and helped you sit on the ground.

"How are you?" Qianling Xian turned around, and when she saw your complexion, she exclaimed, "Can't you cure this poison?"

At that moment, you didn't even feel like acting cool. Your whole body was numb, and you felt a stabbing pain spreading throughout your body.

"Get me a bucket of glutinous rice water, the more glutinous rice, the better!"

Although Qianling Xian was still weak, she immediately made a call, and within minutes, three people rushed in, each carrying a bag of glutinous rice.

You stripped naked and were carried by Zhao'er into the bathtub. Then the water was turned on, and the glutinous rice was poured in.

The moment the glutinous rice hit the water in the bathtub, an unprecedented pain hit you. In the blink of an eye, you felt as if millions of ants were devouring your entire body!

At that time, all you could do was endure!

You grabbed the showerhead with a fierce grip, and after several attempts, you heard a "crack!" as the showerhead shattered in your hand!

Pain!

Excruciating pain!

The indescribable agony tormented you wave after wave!

At that moment, you showed the mettle of a real man, not uttering a single sound from beginning to end!

Just when you felt as if you were in endless agony, a soft and tender touch came from behind, and a pair of jade arms embraced your body from behind. Without looking back, you knew it was Zhao'er.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Zhao'er's voice gently echoed in your heart, and her tenderness made the pain in your body seem to fade away.

Qianling Xian stood inside the bathroom, her hands on the door frame, her body leaning slightly, her brows furrowed, and her beautiful face showing a complex expression.
