Chapter 298: Chapter 299: Expelling the Cold Poison

Placing the Li Fire Pill into a Jade Bottle, Shen Haoran pushed open the door of the Cultivation Room and walked out.

Seeing Shen Haoran emerge, Han Xu immediately rushed over to greet him.

"Brother Shen, were you successful?" Han Xu asked, his voice full of anticipation.

"Fortunately, I didn’t disappoint." Shen Haoran took out the Jade Bottle containing the Li Fire Pill and handed it to Han Xu.

Han Xu stared at the crimson Elixir, which still radiated a faint warmth, his eyes filled with excitement.

"This is wonderful! Xiaoxue’s Cold Poison can finally be cured!" Han Xu let out a long breath, the rims of his eyes turning red. The Cold Poison in Han Xue’s body had tormented her for eight long years, during which she was in constant pain. Although Han Xue always appeared optimistic, Han Xu knew she was only acting that way so he wouldn’t worry. How he wished he was the one afflicted with the Cold Poison, not his little sister!

But now, things were different. With Shen Haoran’s help, there was finally hope of curing Han Xue’s Cold Poison!

THUD... Suddenly, Han Xu dropped to his knees right in front of Shen Haoran, giving him a huge shock.

"Brother Han, what are you doing?" Shen Haoran asked, his face a mask of confusion.

"Brother Shen, if you can truly cure Xiaoxue of her Cold Poison, I, Han Xu, will spend the rest of my life as your servant to repay you!" Han Xu declared with a grave expression.

Seeing Han Xu’s solemn face, Shen Haoran couldn’t help but chuckle. He helped him up and said, "Brother Han, there’s no need for this. I’m just fulfilling my end of the bargain. I cure Han Xue’s Cold Poison, and you find information on the Profound Yellow Fruit for me. It’s a fair trade."

"Even so, you’re freeing Xiaoxue from eight years of torment. This is a debt of gratitude that I, Han Xu, will never forget. I will definitely repay you for this kindness," Han Xu insisted.

Looking at Han Xu’s determined gaze, Shen Haoran felt he had no choice. He could only smile helplessly and say, "Alright, then. I’ll let Brother Han hold onto that promise for now. If I ever need anything in the future, I’ll come find you."

Only after Shen Haoran agreed did Han Xu finally smile and get to his feet.

"Brother Shen, when can we start the poison-cleansing for Xiaoxue?" Han Xu asked, unable to hide his eagerness.

"Let’s do it now," Shen Haoran said directly. ’Seeing how impatient he is,’ he thought, ’he’d probably worry himself sick if I told him to wait.’

"Great!" Han Xu said joyfully, then grabbed Shen Haoran and started running toward Lanxiang Garden.

When the two arrived at Lanxiang Garden, Han Xue was in the courtyard, chasing butterflies. As soon as she saw Han Xu, she leaped into his arms.

"Brother, I’m hungry! Where’s my sweet soup?" Han Xue pouted, her voice sweet.

Han Xu dotingly patted Han Xue’s little head and said softly, "Today, Brother brought you a gift even better than sweet soup!"

"What kind of gift?" Han Xue’s big eyes blinked as she looked at Han Xu with curiosity.

"This one! It’s this big brother here!" Han Xu said, pointing to Shen Haoran behind him.

"This brother... is he edible?" Han Xue asked innocently. Hearing this, Shen Haoran staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

Han Xu awkwardly stroked Han Xue’s head and said, "Ahem, this brother is here to cure your poison. After it’s gone, Xiaoxue will be able to go out and play just like other children!"

"Really?" A spark of light flashed in Han Xue’s eyes upon hearing she could go out and play like other children.

"Then I want the cure! I want to go play outside!" Han Xue said, clinging to Han Xu’s neck affectionately.

Han Xu patted Han Xue’s back, then handed her over to Shen Haoran. "Brother Shen, I’ll leave her in your hands!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Shen Haoran took Han Xue and nodded lightly. He then carried her inside the house.

Inside, Han Xu had already brought over the Holy Mother Water he had collected. Shen Haoran placed Han Xue in the water and said in a low voice, "To get rid of the Cold Poison in your body, we first have to force it out. This process might be a little painful. You have to endure it!"

"Don’t worry, I can do it!" Han Xue nodded, her young face filled with determination.

"Good!" Shen Haoran nodded. Then, with a flick of his palm, the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian rose into the air.

With a light flick of his finger, the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian transformed into a streak of light and shot directly into Han Xue’s body.

"Mmph..." As the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian entered her, the searing heat made Han Xue let out a soft grunt. But this was only the beginning.

Shen Haoran manipulated the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian, sending it coursing through Han Xue’s body, deep into her organs and bones.

Seeing her bones and organs covered in frost, Shen Haoran couldn’t help but gasp. For her body to have deteriorated to this state, she must have endured immense pain. Yet, on the surface, she remained so optimistic. It seemed that to keep Han Xu from worrying, Han Xue had swallowed all this suffering.

"What a pair of siblings," Shen Haoran sighed, feeling a wave of emotion. His gaze sharpened as he resolved inwardly, ’For the sake of the bond between you two, I will completely eradicate this Cold Poison today, no matter what!’

With a cold snort, the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian attached itself directly to her bones and organs and began to burn.

A terrifying heat instantly spread out. The white frost began to melt, turning into a ghastly white mist that attempted to resist Shen Haoran’s Fire Spirit Black Obsidian.

This time, Shen Haoran held nothing back. The Fire Spirit Black Obsidian burned furiously, peeling the white frost and mist away from Han Xue’s organs.

CRACK CRACK CRACK...

The Cold Poison was forced out by Shen Haoran and quickly dissipated outside Han Xue’s body. The terrifyingly cold air instantly froze the surrounding atmosphere. The Holy Mother Water also turned into a solid block of ice, freezing Han Xue within it.

Moreover, Han Xue’s body was covered in frost. Her dark hair and delicate eyebrows were dotted with white, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

After a long while, Shen Haoran opened his eyes. With a wave of his hand, the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian flew out of Han Xue’s body.

"Brother Shen, Xiaoxue..." Han Xu asked anxiously, looking at the seemingly breathless Han Xue.

"It’s nothing. The Cold Poison has been completely forced out, freezing her solid. I’ll expel the poison for her now," Shen Haoran said softly. With that, he took out the Li Fire Pill and floated it above Han Xue’s head.

The Li Fire Pill wasn’t meant for Han Xue to consume. Her body was too weak to withstand such potent Medicinal Power. What Shen Haoran had to do next was melt the Li Fire Pill and infuse its Medicinal Power into Han Xue’s body.

The Fire Spirit Black Obsidian rose up again. Under the Refinement of the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian, the Li Fire Pill dissolved into streams of crimson Energy that slowly flowed into Han Xue’s body from the top of her head.

As the crimson Energy poured in, the frost on Han Xue’s body began to melt. The searing heat also dispersed the surrounding cold air, and the temperature in the room started to rise again...
