As the Spring Poison took effect, Luo Qingxian seemed to have lost herself.

She sat on the ground powerlessly, her delicate body trembling ceaselessly. Drenched in fragrant sweat, her hands restlessly searched across her arms, gradually pulling down her collar to reveal her pale, fragrant shoulders.

Luo Xiu watched her, feeling quite depressed.

Master Ping suddenly laughed, "If I may say so, a Great Emperor is indeed a Great Emperor. This luck of yours... it's simply incredible!"

"To think even this kind of good fortune would fall into your lap. Lad, your luck with the ladies is truly something else!"

Luo Xiu's face darkened. "This is not the time for such jokes."

Master Ping's tone was innocent. "I'm not joking. Besides, isn't that the only way to save her right now?"

Luo Xiu furrowed his brow lightly, as if pondering something.

"Don't interrupt my train of thought."

Master Ping scoffed, "Go on, keep pretending! Hurry up, Master Ping will help you break those moral shackles!"

"Oh... I get it now. You're trying to decide which position to use, aren't you?"

"You flesh-and-blood beings... honestly, what a piece of work."

Luo Xiu suddenly sighed and said, "When it comes to healing and saving people, I know more than you. You should shut up."

"I don't have a mouth!"

Luo Xiu took a deep breath. "Send us to the World Inside the Vase. I have a way to save her."

Master Ping, however, was immediately dissatisfied. "Hey, we're all bros here. Are you really going to treat my World Inside the Vase as your personal pleasure den?"

"No way, absolutely not! Go to that Land of Lawlessness of yours!"

...

In the end, Luo Xiu still took Luo Qingxian to the World Inside the Vase.

At this point, Luo Qingxian had almost lost consciousness. She was merely writhing nonstop, letting out seductive moans.

Luo Xiu placed her on the ground. The one who poisoned her is truly cruel.

From what he knew, the Spring Poison refined from the Coupling Python's Inner Pill was one of the most terrifying of its kind.

Even for a powerful cultivator like Luo Qingxian at the Dao Yu Yi level, once afflicted, she would turn into a wanton woman in a very short time, no matter how resolute her Dao Heart or how pure her soul.

And if she did not get timely relief, her meridians would eventually rupture, and she would die, incinerated by the flames of lust.

But she was lucky, for she had met Doctor Luo.

"Master Ping, bind her with your Dao Law God Chain. Make sure she can't move."

Master Ping was somewhat reluctant. "I didn't expect you to have a thing for bondage. Don't you have your own ropes? To think my Dao Law God Chain would be used for this sort of thing."

After a moment, Luo Xiu looked at the now-naked Luo Qingxian lying on the ground, restrained by the Dao Law God Chain. He couldn't help but sigh again internally.

This Plateau Saintess's physique... it's truly beyond words. Perfect, like a work of art.

But Luo Xiu didn't dwell on it. After taking a deep breath, he entered a state free of distractions, took out his silver needles, and directly applied the "Toxin-Removing Needle" technique from the Creation Thirteen Needles.

A short while later, seeing Luo Qingxian's acupoints all over her body pierced with silver needles, Master Ping muttered, "I have to say, lad, you really like to make things complicated..."

"It's a small matter that could be solved with a single needle. You just needed to stick it in one spot, but no, you had to go looking for trouble, using so many needles in so many places."

Hearing this, a vein bulged on Luo Xiu's forehead. "You filthy vase, is your head full of shit? Shut up already!"

"You're the needle! Your whole family are needles! You call *this* a needle? This is the Pillar that Props the Heavens!"

...

「Meanwhile.」

Outside the Golden Roc Nest, Hong Shizhang landed on the ground, gasping for breath with Zhu Yu.

He glanced back to confirm no one was following, then finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his face, his heart still pounding with lingering fear.

"That was too close. We almost didn't make it out of there."

Beside him, Zhu Yu collapsed onto the ground, his face ashen, his body still shaking uncontrollably.

Hong Shizhang took out a water flask, tilted his head back for a long drink, and then let out a deep sigh. "If it weren't for you, my boy, I never would have taken such a risk."

Hearing this, Zhu Yu looked at him, completely baffled.

Hong Shizhang lowered his voice. "To be honest, I drugged Luo Qingxian earlier. It was all for your benefit, my boy."

Zhu Yu's eyes widened in shock.

Hong Shizhang smiled. "Do you remember that Spirit Awakening Pellet I gave her before?"

"Well, that elixir was a fake. It contained a Spring Poison I concocted myself."

"What? A... a Spring Poison?" Zhu Yu stared, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Master, why would you do something like that?!"

Hong Shizhang's tone grew heavy. "I told you, it was for you."

"With your talent, you are more than worthy of the Plateau Saintess."

Zhu Yu's face was filled with worry. "But by doing such a thing, aren't you afraid of Lingtian Plateau coming after you for it?"

Hong Shizhang smiled faintly. "How could I not have considered that? But by then, the deed between you and Luo Qingxian would have been done. What could Lingtian Plateau do?"

"They would simply go with the flow and bless your union. Lingtian Plateau would gain a son-in-law, a peerless expert with a limitless future. Why wouldn't they be happy?"

Zhu Yu was speechless.

Hong Shizhang sighed. "However, it seems that Lower Realm Mortal is the one who will benefit in the end. If Luo Qingxian is with him when the poison acts up..."

Zhu Yu quickly interjected, "Then we must go back at once! Princess Luo is in danger! We can't let her fall into that Lower Realm Mortal's hands!"

"Go back now? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Hong Shizhang glared at him. "That Lower Realm Mortal himself may only be at the Mahayana Realm, nothing to fear, but he has a Divine Artifact."

"With that Divine Artifact in his possession, we are no match for him in our heavily injured state." His tone shifted. "However... we can kill with a borrowed knife."

Zhu Yu was confused. "Kill with a borrowed knife? Whose knife?"

Hong Shizhang spoke slowly, "Luo Qingxian did not descend to the Lower Realm alone. Other experts from the Plateau are accompanying her."

"Those experts should be in the Divine Organ Ground right now. If they learned that the Plateau Saintess was defiled by a Lower Realm Mortal, do you think that mortal would be allowed to live?"

"And from what I know, Luo Qianye herself has come this time!"

At these words, Zhu Yu's eyes trembled with disbelief. "Luo Qianye... the legendary Emperor Qianye! She... she came as well?"

Hong Shizhang chuckled. "Consider the status of the Plateau Saintess. Is it not perfectly normal for an expert like Emperor Qianye to accompany and protect her when she travels?"

Zhu Yu nodded. "That's true."

A slight smile played on Hong Shizhang's lips. "Emperor Qianye was the Azure Emperor's most loyal deathsworn retainer."

"The only reason she remained on Lingtian Plateau after the Azure Emperor's fall was to protect the Plateau Saintess."

"It's said that before Luo Qingxian was even born, His Majesty the Azure Emperor personally decreed her to be the next Holy Maiden."

"So, if Luo Qianye were to discover that Luo Qingxian had been tarnished by that Lower Realm Mortal... the fate awaiting him is easy to imagine."
