To prevent her from resisting, Chen Nan directly sealed her acupoints and said, "Yiyi, don’t say anymore. If I were the one afflicted with the Poison Fire today, you would definitely do the same."
"So you should also know that I wish even more for you to survive!"
Ye Yiyi looked at Chen Nan with a fervent expression, truly wanting to stop him, but she was utterly powerless: "Stop it, even if you suppress the Poison Fire for me this time, once it flares up again, I’ll still inevitably face death. Why foolishly throw away your life for this!"
"I can’t think about all that now, just let me be selfish this one time."
Chen Nan had fully activated his Demon Technique, and in a short time, possessed the cultivation of the Earth Penetration Realm. His robust Inner Strength, like a mighty river, flowed endlessly and rapidly into Ye Yiyi’s body.
Ye Yiyi’s tears continuously slid down her cheeks as she cried in hysteria, pleading with Chen Nan to stop the operation of the Demon Technique, but it was as if he couldn’t hear her, his Inner Strength still pouring into her body, suppressing the spread of the Poison Fire.
The Black Feathered Chicken shook its head at the scene and muttered, "Didn’t expect you, kiddo, to actually be quite the man, not bad, not bad. It’s just a shame that with such good potential, you’re about to meet your end in the Western Heaven. Alas, your Grandpa Chicken—"
"You dead chicken, shut your mouth!"
Ye Yiyi glared at the Black Feathered Chicken with resentful eyes and gritted her silver teeth: "It’s all because you babbled nonsense. If anything happens to my Senior Brother, I’ll never let you off the hook!"
The Black Feathered Chicken shook its head: "Don’t be so agitated, little girl. How would your Grandpa Chicken know things would turn out ? Besides, if it weren’t for this, how would you know how deeply the boy truly cares for you?"
"How my Senior Brother cares for me, I am well aware in my heart. I don’t need you to worry about it needlessly!"
Usually, Ye Yiyi was quite gentle, except when facing enemies, but now she was incredibly distraught, wishing she could skin the thoughtless blabbering chicken alive.
Sitting to the side, the Black Feathered Chicken shook its head and sighed non-stop: "Foolish girl, you’re too naive, infatuated, devoted, a lovesick fool!"
"Infatuated your sister!"
Chen Nan glared at it and scolded impatiently.
"Kid, don’t think Grandpa Chicken is wrong—let me tell you, every word that your Grandpa Chicken says is the truth..."
Chen Nan freed one hand and with a slap, sent the dead chicken flying ten meters away to collide with a tree and become dizzy.
Meanwhile, his other hand shook with force, and the vigorous Inner Strength completely suppressed the Qilin Poison Fire, also forming a seal so it wouldn’t flare up again for a short time.
Looking at Ye Yiyi, whose complexion had returned to normal, Chen Nan reached out and gently caressed her cheek, smiling, "No matter when the Poison Fire acts up or even now, my Yiyi is always so beautiful."
Ye Yiyi had tears in her eyes: "Senior Brother, quickly undo my acupoint sealing."
Chen Nan nodded and with a touch unsealed her acupoints. Ye Yiyi immediately threw herself onto him, hugging him tightly, while her fists pummeled his back, "Senior Brother, you fool, you big fool, you’re so selfish, completely disregarding my feelings."
Chen Nan stroked her long hair, smiling, "Let me be selfish this one time. There’s not much time left for me, and there’s something I need to tell you."
"I won’t listen, I won’t listen. I want you to live properly!" Ye Yiyi kept shaking her head, clasping Chen Nan’s hands and said, "Isn’t it just Life Essence? I have it, I’ll give mine to you."
Chen Nan held her hands tightly, "Don’t be silly, I’ll have to seal your acupoints again if you continue ."
"But I can’t just watch you die!" Ye Yiyi’s eyes were already blurred with tears, and she held Chen Nan tightly, crying so heartrendingly, "If I give you half of my Life Essence, we could both live, right?"
"That would make us both age faster."
Chen Nan cupped her face in his hands and said, "How could my beautiful Yiyi ever grow old!"
"Growing old together is good, isn’t it?" Ye Yiyi clung to him and said earnestly, "I am going to give you half of my Life Essence right now, please do not resist, okay?"
Chen Nan moved like lightning, sealing her acupoints in an instant.
Ye Yiyi quickly said, "What are you doing? If you don’t want my Life Essence, just unseal my acupoints."
"I’m afraid that when my power fades and I can no longer seal your acupoints, you might do something foolish," Chen Nan kissed her cheek and continued, "To have known and loved you in this life, my journey to this world has not been in vain. After I’m gone, you must take good care of yourself and try to stay close to our master, in case the Poison Fire attacks again."
Ye Yiyi had already turned into a tearful mess, shaking her head desperately, but Chen Nan refused to unseal her acupoints.
Gradually, Chen Nan felt his strength waning, and his consciousness began to blur. He knew that Death was drawing infinitely close to him.
Seeing his junior sister’s eyes red and swollen from crying, Chen Nan hugged her tightly. He was about to say something to cheer her up when suddenly a figure sprinted from the forest at incredible speed, at least with the cultivation of the Second Level of Taoist.
Poison Wolf took large strides over to Chen Nan, "Brother, you’re not dead yet, are you?"
"Damn it, could I still be opening my eyes if I were dead?" Chen Nan cursed grumpily.
Poison Wolf grinned, hastily pulled out a crystal-clear fruit, and stuffed it into Chen Nan’s mouth while cursing, "Damn it, why do you always risk your life ? You scared the hell out of me. Good that you’re not dead, eat it quickly."
This crystal-clear fruit was indeed the last of the three Life Essence Fruits.
Back in the Qianzhong Mountain Range, after slaughtering all their enemies, Chen Nan had harvested two Life Essence Fruits, and Poison Wolf had also taken one. Since it was of no use to him, he had kept it all this time.
"How did you know I was here?" Chen Nan asked after swallowing the Essence Fruit.
Poison Wolf replied in frustration, "Just ten minutes ago, the old master deduced through his calculations that you were using the Heavenly Reversal Demon Technique again, and he sent me to rescue you. Damn it, I rushed over from a hundred kilometers away and almost broke my legs."
"Why didn’t you make that old fart come himself? He’s so fast," Chen Nan said.
Poison Wolf shrugged helplessly, "You think I didn’t want that? But the old master didn’t want to come. He said that if you chose to bring this upon yourself and ended up dead, then so be it, he couldn’t be bothered with you."
Chen Nan couldn’t help but curse.
Although he knew the old man was confident Poison Wolf could make it in time and that’s why he was entrusted with the task, the words he said were just too damn infuriating. Chen Nan couldn’t help but complain.
Ye Yiyi watched Chen Nan with a giggle, obviously delighted, "Aren’t you going to unseal my acupoints?"
