In a moment of hesitation, Yun Sheng had already cleaned out all of his poisoned flesh. After sprinkling some Hemostatic Agent to stop the bleeding, Yun Sheng began the final step of the treatment, which was to suture the wound with the Four Seasons Glaze Needle. Without even raising her head, Yun Sheng immediately took out the Glazed Glass Needle and started working with both hands at the same time; the nimble needle tip passed through the skin, swiftly stitching up the wound. This Dark Crown Prince turned out to be a tough man, enduring the pain of flesh without even a grunt. By the time she put in the last stitch, Yun Sheng was already drenched in sweat. Today, after several perilous moments and having cast a lot of Flame Explosion Magic, her physical strength was severely drained. Now, all she wanted was to quickly finish this rescue treatment and meditate on the spot to recuperate. Without thinking, Yun Sheng raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, only to feel a sudden pain in her neck as the Dark Crown Prince’s right hand grabbed her tender neck, lifting Yun Sheng up like an eagle pouncing for prey. Both had just climbed out of the lake, their bodies dripping wet. Dugu Xiu’s grip on Yun Sheng showcased his startling strength. His wet hair hung down to his chest, making him look both wild and dangerous. Dugu Xiu’s left hand reached for Yun Sheng’s ear. Yun Sheng’s Disguise Magic had worn off hours ago, and the only thing maintaining her disguise was the Illusion Power Earring on her ear. Dugu Xiu’s slightly rough hand slid over Yun Sheng’s earlobe, accurately touching the Illusion Power Earring, which cracked upon contact. Yun Sheng’s face was thus exposed before him. Glimpsing Yun Sheng’s face, Dugu Xiu was momentarily stunned; it’s no wonder Divine Wind referred to her as a little Lolita. It was a very youthful face, appearing no older than seven or eight years old, with features not fully matured but still unable to conceal her delicate beauty. Her complexion was pale, but not the morbidly delicate white of the concubines in the Hou Qin Palace; rather, it was a clean and healthy pallor with a pinkish glow, irresistibly inviting a bite. Yun Sheng’s fairness was due to her long-term practice of the Marrow Jade Technique, which purged impurities from her body, leaving her whole being translucent and sparkling. Her nose was finely chiseled, and her mouth was like a freshly blossomed bud, looking full and ripe; this face truly matched her pair of eyes. For a moment, the thought crossed Dugu Xiu’s mind that this young girl in front of him was the very embodiment of ’flawless beauty’, her translucency making her seem like a blemish-free jade, tempting him to hide her away for himself. Ridiculous, he, the Prince of Later Qin, should harbor such a perverse notion towards an underaged girl. But the next moment, Dugu Xiu regained his composure, as he noticed the cunning gleam in Yun Sheng’s eyes. Even in such a critical situation, there was no excess of fear in those eyes. Dugu Xiu looked again at his wound; most of his poison had been cleansed. He couldn’t deny that Yun Sheng’s medical skills were exquisite; the precision of her stitches was impeccable, rivaling even the Imperial Physicians in the Hou Qin Palace. Yun Sheng, whose neck was held tight, did not show any panic. Instead, she suddenly smiled. Her fingers grasping the needle, she aimed for the Dark Crown Prince’s eyes. He reflexively moved to shield himself. But Yun Sheng’s elbow was as agile as Spiritual Fire; she swiftly changed direction, without hesitation slamming it against the Dark Crown Prince’s recently stitched wound. The wound was ripped open again, and blood splattered like a sudden downpour. Almost at the same time, Yun Sheng’s petite figure surged forward, almost as if throwing herself into his arms, pressing close to the Dark Crown Prince. From a distance, the posture of the two at this moment was quite ambiguous, resembling the close embrace of a man and woman, intimate and inseparable. Given that both of their clothes were drenched, through the layers of fabric, they could feel the intense heat emanating from each other’s body. But accompanying the warmth was a bone-chilling murderous intent. Yun Sheng’s hand and needle were only inches away from the Dark Crown Prince’s eyeball, and the Dark Crown Prince’s hand was still clutching Yun Sheng’s throat. If Yun Sheng’s needle moved just an inch closer, the Dark Crown Prince would crush her throat. Similarly, if the Dark Crown Prince dared to move his hand, Yun Sheng’s needle would burst his eyeball. Her murderous aura was no less intimidating than anyone else’s, making the Dark Crown Prince’s heart tremble. "You’ve already lost. At worst, I’ll be blind in one eye, but you will lose your life," the Dark Crown Prince, battle-hardened as he was, spoke with an unyielding spine, blood flowing like a river beneath him, a needle dangerously close to his eye, yet his face bore a look of pride. Unless this man was incredibly bold, he must be prideful to the bone, to still be so stubborn in such a situation. But pride would be of no use, because he had met her. "You’re wrong, you are the one losing. One, two, three..." Yun Sheng didn’t even get to finish counting before the Dark Crown Prince’s body swayed, his vision blurred, and the grip on Yun Sheng’s throat loosened as he fell straight backwards. After the sound of the heavy fall, Yun Sheng withdrew her Bone Needle. "What a tough ox, it took ten times the normal dose of an anesthetic to take you down," Yun Sheng lamented with pain. The Dark Crown Prince adamantly refused anesthetics, but Yun Sheng, seizing a moment he was unvigilant, smeared a large amount of Mandela Juice on the Glazed Glass Needle used for suturing. The amount was ten times more than what she used to knock out Ye Beiming last time. Once the Dark Crown Prince was unconscious, Yun Sheng could do whatever she wanted to him. After searching around, Yun Sheng found an unregistered Infinite Red Gold Coin Card on him. Hou Qin was a powerful nation, and as the Crown Prince, it was no surprise that he had a significant amount of money, including a storage ring. Since the Bobbie could break Magic Barriers, Yun Sheng unceremoniously claimed this storage ring for herself. After thoroughly searching him, Yun Sheng’s eyes cunningly twirled. She had no particularly good feelings towards the Dark Crown Prince. Under his commands, the Heihu Hunters killed so many Hunter Soldiers on Daoye Mountain; she should have sliced his throat. But she remembered he had saved her in front of the Centipede Ant King just moments ago. Though his life-threatening crime could be pardoned, his living crimes could not be easily excused. Looking at the man’s robust physique, Yun Sheng smiled wickedly. When Dugu Xiu woke up, he nearly lost his temper to the point of a crooked nose. He found himself stripped of all his clothing down to his underwear, his arms and legs twisted together by Water Binding Magic and thrown onto a road leading to Daoye Mountain. Not far in front of him was a line of words that he would never forget: Dugu Xiu, I have stitched up your leg injury once again. The fees for two rounds of stitching and treatment have been taken from your Red Gold Card. The Water Binding Magic will dissipate in about two hours, At the end of the message, she didn’t forget to sign with four big characters, "Da Zhou Yan Yun." "Yan Yun! I will not let this go," Dugu Xiu’s angry voice echoed in the woods. In just one day, Yun effortlessly replaced the Divine Wind King to become the number one person that the Prince of Hou Qin swore to hunt across the entire continent. In a certain part of the forest, Yun Sheng had clearly heard the man’s beastlike roar, but she simply shrugged indifferently. A barking dog doesn’t bite. We’re unlikely to cross paths again. So long, Dugu Xiu. Yun Sheng continued walking on, and a dirt slope appeared ahead. Upon seeing the slope, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp light flickered in the depths of her black pupils.
