Cold water alone could not clear the heat toxin from An Zichen's body.

It merely pressed the heat toxin into An Zichen's internal organs.

Although this could keep her alive temporarily, in the long run, once her injuries erupted, death was inevitable.

And An Zichen had dragged on for many days.

The injuries accumulated inside her body had reached the point of a major outbreak.

Yang Fei had An Zichen soak in the cold water.

He noticed An Zichen's fire-red cheeks gradually turning a purplish-black hue.

With a life at stake, Yang Fei dared not to be negligent.

He hugged her body from behind.

Yang Fei pressed his chest against her back.

And his ten fingers tightly interlocked with An Zichen's.

To a third party, this posture would have appeared to be the height of warmth.

However, it was necessary.

Only in this way could Yang Fei transfer energy.

He could then draw the burning energy from An Zichen's body into his own.

Yang Fei had just pressed his body against Feng Zi's.

The molten-lava-like scorching energy within her surged violently, penetrating into Yang Fei's body.

That energy became torrents of wild heat, rampaging recklessly within Yang Fei's body.

Yang Fei trembled all over from the scalding sensation.

In a panic, he quickly activated Snake Devouring to dissolve and absorb Apollo's burning energy.

However, having just made a breakthrough, Snake Devouring was simply incapable of neutralizing so much burning energy.

After just half an hour, Yang Fei felt as if his entire body had become a furnace.

With no other options, he had to let go of An Zichen's body.

Yang Fei sat cross-legged on a large bluestone, circulating Snake Devouring to neutralize An Zichen's Fire Poison.

After this round of treatment, An Zichen's heat toxin seemed to lessen considerably.

The black qi on her face dissipated somewhat, and her complexion became more vibrant.

However, a few minutes later, An Zichen suddenly let out a groan and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Fresh blood flowed freely from the corners of her mouth, and her complexion turned as red as blood while her lips paled dramatically.

Yang Fei was greatly startled.

He knew that An Zichen had harbored a large amount of Fire Poison within her organs.

Now, the Fire Poison within An Zichen's body could no longer be contained and burst out uncontrollably.

Yang Fei could not afford to rest.

He pressed his chest against An Zichen's body, his fingers locked tightly with hers, palm to palm.

With this method, Yang Fei exerted all his strength to draw out her Fire Poison.

However, between them was the thin barrier of An Zichen's long skirt.

This always prevented the burning energy from being quickly transferred into Yang Fei's body.

And the heat inside An Zichen's body kept escalating, wave after wave, posing a grave danger.

Without hesitation, Yang Fei tore open a large piece of fabric from the back of An Zichen's blouse with his claw-like fingers.

Yang Fei pressed his chest against hers.

At this critical moment, with An Zichen's life in his arms, Yang Fei could no longer care about anything else.

Yang Fei strove to operate Snake Devouring and devoured the burning Essence Qi that was transferring from An Zichen's body.

This time, he managed to endure for a bit longer, nearly forty minutes, before he could no longer bear it.

He released An Zichen and meditated alone.

A long while after that, Yang Fei pressed against An Zichen's body again, continuing to absorb and devour the Fire Poison from within her body.

This process was repeated more than ten times.

An Zichen's complexion gradually improved, the blood-red turning into a faint blush.

The scorching temperature within her body slowly decreased.

Yang Fei only felt the Essence Qi within his body grow more abundant.

His body swelled as if it were a balloon, as though it might explode with a single mishap.

By this time, An Zichen's injuries had been brought under control.

Yang Fei then circulated the Turtle Dark Qi to refine this excess Essence Qi within his body.

The huge amount of Fire Poison from An Zichen's body,

After being refined by Yang Fei's Snake Devouring Refinement, had become pure Essence Qi.

For Yang Fei, this was akin to a gold mine falling from the sky, truly like taking a Complete Tonic Pill.

However, if this batch of Essence Qi was not absorbed immediately, it was extremely dangerous.

If handled improperly, one could suffer a deviation and vomit blood from severe injuries.

Slowly, Yang Fei entered a state of self-forgetfulness, unaware of anything.

Within his body, one could hear the sounds of energy nodes shattering.

The sounds were like the popping of beans, crackling and snapping.

This overwhelmingly fierce Essence Qi successively opened the energy nodes in Yang Fei's body.

Just at that moment, An Zichen's eyes slowly opened.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she discovered that the scorching, burning energy inside her body had disappeared by more than half.

In her lungs, which had been tormented by poisonous fire for several months, there was now a hint of coolness.

Although she was still weak, An Zichen felt her spirit had improved a lot.

An Zichen simply couldn't believe what she was feeling.

All of this felt as unreal as a dream.

And just then,

An Zichen found that her back was bare, feeling chilly.

An Zichen subconsciously covered her back.

At that moment, she also saw Yang Fei, shirtless, practicing breathing exercises behind her.

An Zichen was both shocked and angry.

She gritted her teeth, rushed in front of Yang Fei, and raised her hand to slap his cheek.

With this slap, An Zichen channeled Essence Qi into it.

If it landed on Yang Fei's face, it would certainly knock out some of his teeth.

Just at that moment, An Zichen noticed that Yang Fei's bare upper body was covered with red fire spots.

And he clenched his teeth tightly, the corners of his eyes twitching continuously, clearly enduring great pain.

Seeing this, An Zichen probably understood the cause of the situation.

Her eyes softened, and her heart inexplicably filled with a strange warmth.

An Zichen looked at Yang Fei's distinct facial contours.

Looking at his firmly closed lips and furrowed brows due to pain, she was stunned and lost in thought.

After a long while, An Zichen slowly retracted her hand.

Her facial expression changed, unsure of what she was thinking.

At that moment, Yang Fei slowly opened his eyes.

For some reason, An Zichen's cheeks suddenly burned with heat.

She hastily avoided Yang Fei's gaze.

Yang Fei caught sight of An Zichen and let out a chuckle.

"Hey, beautiful, are you feeling better?"

Although An Zichen didn't know what method he used to neutralize her Fire Poison,

she still felt extremely grateful.

"A little better, thank you," she said.

At this point, An Zichen showed a hint of curiosity.

"I want to know how you neutralized Apollo's True Fire Element?"

Yang Fei let out a chuckle, shaking his head.

"The master said, it cannot be told, it cannot be told indeed."

An Zichen snorted, "If you won't say, then don't. It's not a big deal, right?"

Yang Fei didn't bother with her.

He circulated the Essence Qi within his body and took an inner look at his condition.

The guy immediately whooped with joy.

"Damn, another breakthrough at four energy nodes, I'm on a roll."

Yang Fei did a couple of joyful somersaults in the air.

Unfortunately, his pants were not so reliable.

With a ripping sound, Yang Fei's already worn pants, tugged by the rapid current, drifted away with the water.

An Zichen got the scare of her life and quickly covered her eyes.

"What... what are you doing?" she exclaimed.

Yang Fei made a couple of feeble sounds, watching as his trousers floated away, and felt like crying without tears.

"It's over, now I'm completely undressed."

"Hey, beautiful, I'm warning you, don't look, don't listen if it's inappropriate. I'm a decent man," he said.
