Su Baifeng wanted to interrupt Xue Fanxin’s acupuncture, but a huge crack suddenly appeared under her feet. She was careless and fell right into it.
“Ah…”
Her miserable cry sounded from the crack, then there was no sound. For some reason, the Bone-Devouring Ring also fell with her as if it was chasing after its master.
If Su Baifeng was alone, it wouldn’t have mattered. She would most likely die in there, but that strange ring changed the equation. Besides, it had joined her of its own accord… Xue Fanxin felt uneasy.
She had planned to kill Su Baifeng when she rushed over. If not for the sudden appearance of the crack, she might have already died in her hands.
But now that Su Baifeng had fallen into that underground crack, it was unknown if she was dead or alive. This was not a good thing for her.
Keeping Su Baifeng alive would always be a disaster.
When the crack appeared on the ground, the people of the four great families panicked. They were scared that more Evil Bone Spectral Soldiers would climb out from below, so all of them quickly found cover. Even Yi Fentian retreated to a safe place in the distance.
There was one exception.
Xue Hanxi did not hide. Instead, he walked towards Xue Fanxin and looked at her hand, saying with concern, “That is a fine silk blood silver snake. Its body is as thin as silk, and it is extremely poisonous. Fortunately, your medical skills are superb, and you controlled the spread of the poison at the critical moment. You just have to expel the poisonous blood from your body. But you have to be especially careful. You have to control the force and the speed of bleeding, or the poison will spread even faster. Let me help you.”
Xue Fanxin could sense Xue Hanxi’s concern, which was akin to an elder brother’s care for his younger sister. A familial warmth spread in her.
It turned out that Xue Hanxi had always treated her as a younger sister. He had come to save her at the critical moment without caring about his own safety…
Xue Hanxi did not know what Xue Fanxin was thinking. Seeing her in a daze, he decided to do it on his own. He took the initiative to circulate his energy to help her expel the poison.
Xue Fanxin felt a little pain and frowned slightly. Just as she gritted her teeth, she heard a voice that was like a spring breeze. “It will sting a little. Bear with it for a while.”
Xue Hanxi tried his best to be gentle. Afraid that she would feel pain, he even especially comforted her. Then, he increased his strength a bit and forced out all the gathered poison from the wound.
The expelled poisonous blood was black as ink.
Only now did Xue Fanxin realize the danger she was in. No matter how good her medical skills were, if she did not understand that snake, she would probably not be able to protect her hand even if she saved her life.
Fortunately, she had Xue Hanxi. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Thank you!”
“It’s nothing. There’s no need to be so polite.”
“You’re really different from the others in the Xue family.”
Actually, she had not interacted much with the Xue family. Apart from the mistress, she had only met Xue Qingluan, Xue Qinglan, and Elder Mo.
Perhaps she had been too biased. There were actually good people in the Xue family.
