After a period of thought, Zhou Yongming looked at Su Xi and asked again with uncertainty, "Are you sure these are the only conditions you need?"
The conditions Su Xi proposed were not excessively outrageous. In fact, they were quite ordinary, so ordinary that he couldn't believe it was true.
Su Xi knew what Zhou Yongming was worried about, so she nodded and said very affirmatively to his inquiry, "These are all the simple things I require, and I won't ask for anything else from you. I'm doing this not for any ulterior motives, but simply to gain the City Lord's favor."
Hearing Su Xi's frank admission, Zhou Yongming put away his worries and revealed a smile of "just as I expected." Su Xi's intentions were exactly as he had thought.
He wasn't afraid of people making excessive demands; he was afraid of people wanting nothing. Free things were the most expensive, potentially costing one's life.
Therefore, now that Su Xi had clearly stated her requirements, he felt more at ease and more straightforward.
As City Lord, he wielded immense power. He knew that his status was something many people coveted, so it was normal for Su Xi to want to curry favor with him.
In fact, it would be abnormal if Su Xi didn't.
"Since that's the case, then hurry up and get to it. As long as you can save my beloved concubine, you will be my eternal friend," Zhou Yongming, who could afford the price, urged impatiently.
The sooner Ma Xianglian's problem was resolved, the sooner he would find release. After all, Ma Xianglian's skills were incomparable to any other woman's.
Su Xi nodded at Zhou Yongming's urging, then turned her gaze to Ma Xianglian and slowly walked over.
Now that everything was ready, it was her time to perform.
Su Xi approached Ma Xianglian, gently placed her hand on her arm, channeled the spiritual energy within her body, and closed her eyes to investigate her condition.
Zhou Yongming watched Su Xi's actions with a puzzled expression. Why wasn't Su Xi acting yet? What was she waiting for? Was she trying to take advantage of his beloved concubine?
Although he didn't care if his women were unfaithful, he couldn't stand to see someone coveting his woman right in front of him.
Despite this thought suddenly appearing, he didn't have any evidence and couldn't speak. He could only stand by obediently, watching Su Xi's actions intently, trying to verify his suspicions.
He had to catch her in the act. If he caught Su Xi giving him the wrong impression, he wouldn't be able to blame himself.
He swore he would make Su Xi suffer even more than Chang Yifan.
After Su Xi had done something to Ma Xianglian, she looked at Zhou Yongming and said with a grave expression, "The Madam's condition is very serious, so I need your help."
"???"
Zhou Yongming looked at Su Xi, confused, not understanding the meaning of her words.
If he knew how to save people, would he need Su Xi?
Was this person really not joking?
If anything, he was better at killing people, but saving someone seemed rather unrealistic.
Although he didn't quite understand what was happening, he patiently asked, "What do you want me to do now?"
She had already taken so much advantage of him, he couldn't just let it go.
After all, the person needed to be saved.
Su Xi looked at Zhou Yongming and said, "She has lost too much blood and now needs you to transfuse blood to her. Otherwise, with excessive blood loss, she will never wake up again."
"Blood transfusion?" Zhou Yongming asked in confusion, "Are you joking?"
Ma Xianglian had no wounds, so why would she need a blood transfusion?
Su Xi sighed and waved her hand dismissively, "If you're unwilling, then so be it."
She had already offered a solution. If Zhou Yongming refused, it would be no concern of hers.
Seeing Su Xi's resolute stance, Zhou Yongming knew he had upset her and quickly tried to placate her, "Divine Doctor, please don't be angry. I'll do it."
After speaking, Zhou Yongming rolled up his sleeves and looked at Su Xi, "Tell me what to do, and I promise to complete the task."
Seeing that Zhou Yongming was cooperating, Su Xi began to explain, "The problem now is that your cultivation is too powerful, causing her body to be unable to withstand it, resulting in internal bleeding. To save her, you can only expel the stagnant blood from her body and replace it with fresh blood."
"The one who tied the knot must untie it. You wouldn't want your wife's body to contain another man's blood, would you? So, you must do this yourself; no one else can help."
"Naturally, I wouldn't want that," Zhou Yongming said, shaking his head decisively at Su Xi's words.
His woman should only have his things flowing in her body. If any other man dared to lay a hand on her, he would break their third leg.
Su Xi knew that Zhou Yongming had decided to cooperate, so she softened her tone and said, "Don't worry, this is very simple and there will be no problems whatsoever."
"You just need to make an incision on your arm and an incision on your wife's hand. Then, place your wounds together, and I'll handle the rest."
Zhou Yongming nodded at Su Xi's words, indicating that he understood what to do.
Seeing that Zhou Yongming understood, Su Xi made an incision on Ma Xianglian's arm, and dark blood immediately flowed out.
Seeing Su Xi take action, Zhou Yongming didn't dare to hesitate and quickly made an incision on his own arm.
Ma Xianglian's cultivation was not high, and coupled with the prolonged torment, she was already very weak. If she lost too much blood, it might affect her health.
Loss of health would then affect his future enjoyment. Therefore, for his own happiness, he dared not be careless and did not want any accidents.
Su Xi watched as the wounds on Ma Xianglian's and Zhou Yongming's arms were brought together. A red light appeared in her hand, and she began to chant some strange intonations.
Just as Zhou Yongming was about to ask Su Xi what she was doing, he suddenly felt his blood begin to leave his body and converge into Ma Xianglian's. Simultaneously, the blood from Ma Xianglian's body flowed out through the wound and gradually merged into his.
If she hadn't suppressed her body's reactive responses with all her might, she would have immediately rushed towards Su Xi. As she suppressed her cultivation, the frequency of blood exchange began to increase.
As the blood exchanged, Zhou Yongming soon felt something abnormal within his body, experiencing dizziness and nausea. As these problems arose, his expression changed instantly, and he looked at Su Xi, shouting, "What are you doing?"
Su Xi faced Zhou Yongming's accusation and calmly comforted him, "Don't worry, these are normal phenomena. I'm just taking your dog life. Wait patiently, and it will be over soon."
Hearing Su Xi's reply, Zhou Yongming immediately pushed back, stopping the bleeding from his wound, so angry he almost spat blood. He hadn't expected Su Xi to answer him like that.
Although Zhou Yongming had managed to break free, Su Xi wasn't nervous at all. Instead, she looked at Zhou Yongming with a smirk.
It was too late for him to realize now.
Zhou Yongming stopped the bleeding from his wound and became increasingly enraged. He instinctively wanted to retaliate against Su Xi.
However, he had already been poisoned and couldn't mobilize his cultivation or do anything. The weakness he felt made him panic.
Seeing this, Su Xi burst into laughter.
It seemed the poison she had used wasn't entirely useless. Poisoning could kill enemies invisibly, saving a lot of trouble.
Zhou Yongming's emotions fluctuated too greatly, causing him to continuously spit blood from his mouth. After finally stopping the bleeding, he painfully asked, "Why are you doing this?"
He couldn't recall any grievances between himself and Su Xi, so he couldn't understand why she would do this.
The fact that it was colorless and odorless, and that he hadn't even noticed it, meant Su Xi was definitely not an ordinary person.
However, using such potent poison on him seemed like a waste, or perhaps it was the wrong person. He was unsure who Su Xi truly was.
Hearing Zhou Yongming's question, Su Xi smiled and said, "Because my girlfriend was involved with someone named Zhou Yongming, and since you have the same name, you deserve to die."
"Moreover, you not only deserve to die, but you deserve to die a horrible death. Otherwise, I won't be able to quell my hatred."
???
A dark line appeared on Zhou Yongming's forehead, and he felt a surge of emotion, aggravating his internal injuries.
What the hell was she talking about?
If she didn't want to say anything, she shouldn't have. Now, coming up with such an absurd reason, was she insulting him?
Su Xi knew very well the principle that villains die because they talk too much, so she naturally didn't want to waste words with Zhou Yongming. She decisively dealt with him and then proceeded to destroy his dantian.
Only when someone became a mortal would they pose no threat to her.
After finishing, she grabbed Zhou Yongming and asked righteously, "Tell me where the teleportation array is now! Otherwise, I'll cut off your little eggs."
Since she had already avenged herself, she couldn't forget about the main business.
Hearing Su Xi's demand, Zhou Yongming suddenly realized why this person was targeting him. It was because of that person from before.
He looked at Su Xi in front of him and asked in disbelief, "How are you still alive?"
His previous arrangements were meticulous. Even he himself would have found it difficult to escape. Su Xi and Ouyang Chu, inexperienced youngsters, couldn't possibly have survived. Why had the person who should have died reappeared and attacked him?
This was inherently a very strange matter.
Although he was uncertain, he knew for a fact that the person in front of him was indeed Su Xi.
Su Xi knew that Zhou Yongming wouldn't agree easily, so she wasn't in a hurry.
She wasn't alone now; she had Ouyang Chu as a helper.
Dealing with demons, she didn't need to extract information herself.
Therefore, looking at Ouyang Chu beside her, Su Xi said, "Now, it's your turn to act."
Ouyang Chu nodded, knowing what Su Xi wanted him to do, and with a wicked smile, he walked towards Zhou Yongming.
It had been a while since he had used some of his techniques, and now he found himself reminiscing.
"What are you going to do?" Zhou Yongming looked at Ouyang Chu, trying to escape.
But now he was just a mortal and couldn't escape at all. He was immediately caught by Ouyang Chu and dragged into the bushes.
After about fifteen minutes, Su Xi saw Ouyang Chu walk over from Zhou Yongming's side.
As he walked over, the previously not-so-distant Zhou Yongming let out a scream, followed by his body instantly falling apart.
Inch by inch, his skin separated from his bones, turning into pieces of flesh the size of fingernails scattered on the ground, along with a pool of blood.
Su Xi didn't pay attention to Zhou Yongming's death. Instead, she looked at Ouyang Chu and asked, "Did you get the information?"
"Of course," Ouyang Chu nodded confidently.
For him, extracting information was hardly a challenge; it was a complete waste of his skills.
Su Xi ignored the smug Ouyang Chu and urged, "In that case, let's hurry."
Ouyang Chu heard Su Xi's words, shook his head, and said, "Don't rush. There's something you should know."
"What is it?" Su Xi looked at Ouyang Chu with confusion, a bad premonition growing in her heart.
