As she did this, she anxiously shouted, "Wang Xiaoqiang, you have to hold on, you can't die, what will I do if you die??"

Wang Xiaoqiang's stiff body felt a trace of warmth and moved slightly. Princess Hua Shao saw this and cried tears of joy, "Ah, Little Qiang, you moved. I knew you were blessed and would be fine."

As Princess Hua Shao said this, she rested Wang Xiaoqiang's head on her lap, her jade-like hands ceaselessly rubbing his face.

Wang Xiaoqiang's body, like thawing soil, gradually revived. He finally gathered the strength to speak and said with difficulty to Princess Hua Shao:

"This, this place, is dangerous, quickly, leave, don't, don't worry about me."

Princess Hua Shao was startled upon hearing this, gazing at Wang Xiaoqiang, who closed his eyes weakly again after speaking,

Princess Hua Shao was showered with endless affection, but deep down, she knew the kindness from others was usually with ulterior motives, to flatter her, not out of genuine feelings,

but the man in her arms, even at the brink of death, was still concerned about her, truly caring for her; such a person who genuinely cares, there couldn't be many in this world, could there?!

Deeply moved, tears flowed like pearls cut from a string.

She didn't leave, she held Wang Xiaoqiang tightly, wishing they were one flesh, and said, "I won't leave, Little Qiang, if you want to die, I'll die with you. We will die together."

Wang Xiaoqiang's consciousness cleared completely, warmed by Princess Hua Shao's words; it seemed this girl was different from Ann Miaoyi. Though both were of noble birth, Princess Hua Shao was compassionate and righteous.

Seeing that her body heat couldn't warm Wang Xiaoqiang, Princess Hua Shao released the Fire Element Spiritual Energy from within her, guiding it over her body, not hesitating to expend her Spiritual Power to warm Wang Xiaoqiang.

Princess Hua Shao was a genius with three Spirit Roots, possessing three kinds of Spirit Roots, including the Fire Element Spirit Root. Though her Fire Element Spiritual Energy was not as pure as the Fire Element Spiritual Energy from Wang Xiaoqiang's Five Elements Spirit Spring, it still had some effect in dispelling Corpse Qi.

Under the warmth of the Fire Element Spiritual Energy, Wang Xiaoqiang's body quickly warmed, regaining sensation,

He forgot about pain, cold, and danger, feeling warmth in his heart.

So he pretended to faint again.

Princess Hua Shao, unhesitant in expending Spiritual Power, hugged Wang Xiaoqiang tightly, desperately trying to warm his body, but unexpectedly, not only did Wang Xiaoqiang fail to recover, he fell unconscious again, suddenly feeling a weight in her heart, face filled with panic and confusion,

She thought, logically, Wang Xiaoqiang should have woken by now. How did he faint again?

Could it be that my method was wrong?

But apart from this method, Princess Hua Shao couldn't think of a better one.

...

But soon he realized it was not the time to enjoy this; he quickly absorbed the Spiritual Spring outside his body, then channeled Wood Element Spiritual Qi to his chest to heal,

Princess Hua Shao, unaware of Wang Xiaoqiang's condition, tested his breath with her finger. Wang Xiaoqiang deliberately held his breath, so when Princess Hua Shao found no breath, her finger trembled, and her delicate body shivered,

She thought Wang Xiaoqiang was dead, and instantly tears poured down, her face showing sadness. While crying, she leaned down and kissed Wang Xiaoqiang's forehead, giving away her first kiss she had treasured for seventeen years.

Over a billion Spirit Springs supplied Wood Element Spiritual Qi together; the Spiritual Energy Amount was immensely abundant. Quickly, the chest injury healed, and Wang Xiaoqiang released some Fire Element Spiritual Energy to expel the Corpse Qi from his body.

Corpse Qi is a treasure for Ghost Cultivators but dreadful for Human Cultivators. Once it enters the bone marrow, it cannot be expelled, causing lifelong suffering.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaoqiang was a Vajra Body Fourth Layer Body Refining Master, with a solid physical body. Otherwise, given his severe injuries just now and without Spiritual Power to expel the Corpse Qi, the massive Corpse Qi in his body would freeze him to death.

Wang Xiaoqiang's Fire Element Spiritual Energy was many times purer than Princess Hua Shao's, so only a small amount of Spiritual Power was needed to quickly expel the Corpse Qi.

The injuries healed, and the body defrosted. Wang Xiaoqiang's body was completely fine now, yet he still thought.

With a smile of happiness on his face, he continued to feign death!

Princess Hua Shao, in a state of grief and despair, sat still holding Wang Xiaoqiang's body, unaware of time slipping away.

But gradually, she noticed something was wrong: Wang Xiaoqiang's body slowly became warm. How could a dead person have this kind of body temperature?

Doubtful, Princess Hua Shao hurriedly reached out to test Wang Xiaoqiang's breath and found not only was he breathing again, but his face seemed to carry a faint smile.

Suddenly realizing something, she abruptly tossed Wang Xiaoqiang to the ground.

Wang Xiaoqiang feigned awakening, loudly coughing twice, then breathed heavily.

Princess Hua Shao blushed bright red with shame, angrily saying, "Wang Xiaoqiang, were you just pretending?"

"Cough, cough, w-what happened to me?" Wang Xiaoqiang feigned.

"Wang Xiaoqiang, stop pretending." Princess Hua Shao, unable to determine whether Wang Xiaoqiang was pretending, said somewhat anxiously.

Wang Xiaoqiang got up from the ground, asking, "Was it you who saved me just now?"

Wang Xiaoqiang's pretense was so masterful that Princess Hua Shao couldn't spot any flaw. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's genuine expression, Princess Hua Shao sighed softly, "You were frozen stiff just now. If not for me, you'd probably be reporting to King Yama's Hall by now."

"Thank you, Princess," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

Princess Hua Shao furrowed her delicate brows, "Wang Xiaoqiang, please don't call me Princess anymore, it sounds weird."

"Then what should I call you?"

"Use my name."

"Uh, Hua Shao, so what method did you use to save me?" Wang Xiaoqiang pretended to be clueless, deliberately asking.

"I, I…" Princess Hua Shao's face grew redder with embarrassment, "I infused you with Fire Element Spiritual Energy remotely."

"Uh." Seeing through but not exposing it, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Thank you, for your great kindness and virtue. I will repay you someday."

"You also saved my life, so we're even. Please don't mention repayment, I hate that the most," Princess Hua Shao said, waving her small hand. (To be continued.
