A ball of light scattered from Feng Ninghe's body, engulfing her in a burning sensation.
Feng Ninghe quickly tried to absorb it, but her spiritual energy seemed beyond her control, unable to contain the light.
She felt her body grow hotter and hotter, her skin turning red as if scorched, making her look as if she were being cooked.
Seeing Si Jianye leave, Xiao Zhao hopped on its short legs and quickly returned to the house.
It immediately spotted Feng Ninghe in agony, her entire body flushed red.
"Master!"
Xiao Zhao transformed into human form and rushed over, its sapphire eyes filled with urgency.
It wanted to transfer spiritual energy to make Feng Ninghe more comfortable, but it couldn't get its energy into her body.
Xiao Zhao scurried around anxiously and quickly summoned Old Man Xu.
"What's going on!"
Seeing Feng Ninghe in this state, Old Man Xu was also shocked. He quickly helped her up, scanned her with his divine sense, and transferred spiritual energy.
There seemed to be a ball of fire burning fiercely within her.
The spiritual energy he transferred was also devoured by this flame!
Her entire body was terrifyingly hot.
Xiao Zhao took out a handkerchief to wipe Feng Ninghe's forehead, its eyes filled with anxiety. "Old Man Xu, what's wrong with Master?"
Old Man Xu's features were tightly furrowed, his expression anxious. "Ninghe must have ingested something with too potent a medicine, causing her body to be unable to withstand it. With my limited abilities, I can't help her. We need to think of a solution, or she'll be burned to death if this is delayed."
Xiao Zhao's sapphire eyes flickered slightly, and it blurted out, "Why don't we go find the King of Hell! For Xin Xin's sake, he'll definitely help! He's still waiting for Master to cure Xin Xin!"
As the King of Xiyou Continent, Si Jianye had profound cultivation. With his intervention, he would surely be able to help Feng Ninghe.
Old Man Xu knew that urgency called for swift action and said without hesitation, "Let's go find the King of Hell now!"
*
The moon hung high in the night sky, casting its bright glow over an elegant courtyard.
Si Xin Xin, with sleepy eyes, yawned as she got out of bed.
In a daze, she saw several figures hurrying towards her.
Old Man Xu was carrying Feng Ninghe on his back, rushing towards them, with Xiao Zhao leading the way.
"Xin Xin! Master is in trouble!"
Xiao Zhao, with its sharp eyes, spotted Si Xin Xin at once and instinctively raised its voice, its urgency evident.
Hearing the familiar voice, Si Xin Xin's sleepiness vanished. Her young face involuntarily showed panic. "What happened to Pretty Mommy?"
Feng Ninghe's eyes were tightly shut, and she lay slumped on Old Man Xu's shoulder, unconscious. Her flushed skin looked as if it had been scalded, her face no longer delicate, but an unnatural red.
"Pretty Mommy! What happened to you!"
Si Xin Xin panicked, large tears streaming down her face. She tightly held Feng Ninghe's hand. "I finally found a mother I'm happy with, she can't be in trouble!"
Xiao Zhao was a head taller than Si Xin Xin. Anxiously, it squeezed out a few tears and blurted out, "Where is the King of Hell? Only the King of Hell can save Master now!"
Si Xin Xin quickly stopped crying and said crisply, "Follow me."
The commotion outside and the hurried footsteps woke Si Jianye from his rest.
Slightly annoyed, he got up and pushed open the door.
As soon as the door opened, he saw a tiny figure crying.
Si Xin Xin's small hands were rubbing her eyes, and large tear drops clung to her eyelashes. "Daddy... please save Pretty Sister quickly!"
Old Man Xu quickly put down the unconscious Feng Ninghe. "King of Hell, Ninghe ingested something unknown and became like this. Even transferring spiritual energy to her is like adding flowers to a brocade, completely useless."
Si Jianye raised an eyebrow and waved his hand, sending a wave of spiritual sense into Feng Ninghe's body.
A powerful ball of light was colliding within her.
"This woman actually swallowed the flower I gave her in one go! Is she crazy?"
Si Jianye's gaze suddenly sharpened. He quickly scooped up Feng Ninghe and placed her on the bed.
He had thought Feng Ninghe would refine these flowers into pills to consume, but who knew this woman would swallow them directly!
The flowers he gave her were extremely potent. Consuming them all at once would maximize their medicinal effect, but the risk was also something ordinary people couldn't control.
If not careful, death was a distinct possibility.
Even he wouldn't act so impulsively; he would consume them one by one.
"Daddy, is there a way to save Pretty Mommy?"
Si Xin Xin blinked her tear-filled eyes and looked at Feng Ninghe with concern, her small hands clutching her sleeves tightly.
Seeing Si Xin Xin's tearful eyes, Si Jianye reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. His deep voice held a hint of gentleness. "With me here, even the King of Hell can't take her life."
The moment his voice fell, everyone's hearts were instantly put at ease.
Axi, rubbing his sleepy eyes, stumbled over, drawn by the noise. "What's going on? So many people here so late at night."
Seeing Axi, Si Jianye's eyes narrowed, his gaze becoming sharper.
He still remembered Axi's confident assertion that women liked flowers.
But the reality was different. He wanted to have a good talk with Axi...
His sharp gaze sent a shiver down Axi's spine. He quickly gestured for everyone to leave. "Let's retreat quickly, lest we disturb the King of Hell from saving her."
Upon hearing this, everyone gradually left the room.
Si Jianye unhesitatingly used his spiritual energy to soothe the heat within Feng Ninghe's body.
In her unconscious state, Feng Ninghe only felt burning pain, her entire body aflame.
Suddenly, a cool spiritual energy like a spring flowed through her body, instantly alleviating the burning pain.
Outside the house.
With the King of Hell intervening, everyone no longer needed to worry too much.
They waited quietly by the door.
Si Xin Xin looked up at Xiao Zhao, who was a head taller than her, and her childish voice was incredibly soft. "Xiao Zhao, weren't you the same height as me before? How did you grow so much in such a short time!"
Xiao Zhao chuckled dismissively. "I'm a beast, and you're human. If my cultivation is high, my size will only grow. I'll only get taller from now on."
Old Man Xu sensed something and looked intently at the house.
A powerful spiritual energy emanated from within. This power also made Old Man Xu's eyes light up instantly.
Ninghe's cultivation had broken through!
This immense spiritual energy far surpassed his own.
Feng Qingcheng was not worthy of the title of a heavenly prodigy. When it came to heavenly prodigies, only Feng Ninghe deserved that title!
Inside the house.
Si Jianye looked at Feng Ninghe with a hint of surprise.
He had used his spiritual energy to calm the heat within Feng Ninghe's body, helping her absorb the medicinal effects.
The two spiritual energies within Feng Ninghe merged, leading to a breakthrough in her cultivation.
If he weren't a cultivation freak, he would be astonished by Feng Ninghe's cultivation speed...
Stars dotted the night sky. At the same time, in a luxurious palace in the Lin Kingdom.
On a large bed lay a delicate figure.
On her wrist, a dark red jade bracelet lit up.
The dazzling light instantly filled the entire room.
