Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1214 - 1194: Nine Serenities

The Internal Strength Technique was activated, sealing the girl’s meridians and preventing the poisonous blood from spreading.

Meanwhile, the other hand deftly used the Small Jade Bottle to collect the poisonous blood.

Fire Series, being the most domineering force, also has some effect on poison. Luo Qianqian wondered if it was psychological, as she felt the girl in her arms breathe a little heavier.

"Clink."

The sound resonated in the next moment, causing Luo Qianqian to shiver slightly; even though she didn’t see it, she knew the poisonous needle had been removed.

The needle handle was quite conspicuous, but the wound was not so swollen that it was easy to see; it was truly not easy to notice.

As the poisonous blood flowed out and the poisonous weapon was removed, the girl’s wound slowly shrank, and her skin gradually returned to a less terrifying appearance.

Yan breathed a sigh of relief, set down the Jade Vase, and picked up Luo Qianqian’s dagger, while keeping the other hand on the girl’s back—a customary place should have been the chest, but since they were male and female, he couldn’t be too presumptuous.

He accelerated the operation of the cultivation technique, and the girl, as if sensing something, trembled slightly with painful sounds escaping her lips.

With the disappearance of the purple-red blood and the appearance of the red blood, the girl’s complexion became pale with not a hint of color.

It was only then that Yan used Luo Qianqian’s dagger to apply a bit of medicinal powder to the blade and inserted it into the wound he had made, swiftly sealing the blood vessels, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The reason for using the Ice Attribute dagger was for quick hemostasis; heat would accelerate blood flow, while coolness would slow it.

He worried that given the amount of poisonous blood, the girl’s body wouldn’t endure the blood flow.

After all, it seemed that time was not short; a moment of carelessness could lead to a jade shattering.

After detoxification, he rough-stitched the wound, drenched in sweat; such circumstances were rare for him, and it was a girl.

He wasn’t particularly strong, needing to exhaust Inner Strength to control the girl’s body and detoxify, while simultaneously spending spiritual power to monitor the wound; he was quite weak at this moment.

"...Shiqi, you don’t need to open your eyes. Can you use the water attribute cultivation technique to guide this girl’s Inner Strength?" The voice came out a little hoarse, as Yan’s spiritual power was evidently at its limit.

Luo Qianqian nodded; she had done this before when her brother and sister-in-law embarked on this path.

Without further words from Yan, she had already caught hold of the young girl and started the cultivation technique.

In an instant, the two hidden figures began cultivating, while the other remained unconscious.

When Yan returned to normal, the sky had darkened; the surrounding trees had been ruined by snakes, yet the night was distinguishable, the sky filled with stars twinkling brightly.

Under the flames, Yan’s complexion had recovered. Seeing the light sweat on Luo Qianqian’s face, he was a little surprised and quickly said, "Shiqi, that’s enough."

Luo Qianqian tiredly pushed the young girl towards him, sitting aside to regulate her breathing.

Following that, nearly one full day and night passed before the girl showed any awareness; she was feverish and sweating continuously, but fortunately, there were many people here, always mindful of her condition.

Even after Luo Qianqian recovered, she specifically had Tianyi prepare a pot of porridge, though it was snatched and divided by the crowd before the girl awakened.

Fortunate were they that luck smiled upon them. Haan Yun didn’t attract any beasts, allowing respite for more cultivation.

"Who are you!" The next morning, the girl opened her eyes.

Luo Qianqian sat nearby, leisurely combing her hair using a comb temporarily borrowed from Haan Yun.

The girl suddenly clenched her hands, full of alertness.

Her weak body lacked any strength, her voice hoarse and surprised as she looked at Luo Qianqian, unable to muster any energy, only noticing the soft pillow under her head with confusion; moving was impossible, even the previous action spun her senses dizzyingly, and even shifting further proved extremely labored.

"You’re awake?" Luo Qianqian turned her head, surprised, moving closer to the young girl, quickly grabbing her wrists resting by her sides.

Only she was female here, possessing a gentle water attribute.

The nurturing of water attribute cultivation made the girl’s spirits slightly revive, light returning to her eyes.

Luo Qianqian took out a Bamboo Tube, obtained from Huangfu Yihui—she had nothing so antiquated herself. Giving the girl a sip of water, without a word, the girl’s tears started flowing uncontrollably, distinctly felt upon Luo Qianqian’s back.

"Mom! Dad!" the girl shouted toward the heavens, her voice desperate yet rough, her position on the ground anything but graceful...

Luo Qianqian squatted beside, not preventing the girl’s outburst.

After a moment, the girl cried, looking towards Luo Qianqian, "Is there any more water, big sister?"

Luo Qianqian nodded, placing the Bamboo Tube near the girl’s lips. After some water, the girl reluctantly turned her head, towards her back, "Did big sister save me?"

Luo Qianqian nodded gently, "Sort of, a big brother saved you; I just took care of you."

"Nine Serenities thanks big sister; should big sister ever need anything, I’ll surely repay you," the girl looked at the fabric on her, sensing none were her own, her face went stiff, losing color.

Luo Qianqian softly said, "The skirt is mine, the clothes I dressed you in; the big brothers didn’t see your body, Nine Serenities, don’t worry."

Perhaps due to younger siblings, Luo Qianqian’s gentleness was noticeable, her voice light as if fearing to startle the young girl.

Nine Serenities managed a slight smile, gazing at Luo Qianqian; her cheeks already numb from lying down, looking pitiful.

"Big sister attempts deception," Nine Serenities remarked earnestly.

Luo Qianqian waved her hands, "I swear, truly didn’t deceive you!"

"Fib, big sister wears this skirt to clean the floor?" Nine Serenities’ face revealed a mischievous expression.

Luo Qianqian was rendered speechless, eventually breaking into laughter, "Sharp eyes, I’ll wear it later, alright? You rest now, I’ll get some food over; when you’re nourished, regained some strength, we’ll travel."

"Okay," Nine Serenities nodded docilely.

She walked to a nearby tree, seeing the concerned expression from a few, smiled, nodded, "Nine Serenities is awake. Tianyi, any food available?"

Tianyi gestured towards a pot, inside was porridge they’d simmered for the tenth time these days, initially snatched upon completion, now preserved, thanks to Tianyi’s sacrifice.

To persist in making porridge.

The clay pot swung from the branch, the fire underneath still burning; Luo Qianqian cautiously fetched a porcelain bowl, used a wooden spoon to scoop porridge into it.

She carried it to Nine Serenities; now was Yan’s turn for examining, except the patient was a girl, fear arose from male involvement.
