Chapter 95: Chapter 86: The True Solution to Breaking the Water Moon Dream Mirror!

Under their tacit coordination, the black threads spreading around the wound had almost disappeared, and a black circular object had taken their place at the site of the injury.

It looked vaguely like a bead.

A faint white vapor was emanating from the pores of the woman’s body, carrying the fragrance of her skin.

The woman’s originally pale cheeks now had a touch of rosiness.

However, the black bead simply could not be forced out; it seemed to be a living creature burrowing deeper into the wound, occasionally releasing black threads that pierced into the skin. If Jiang Shouzhong hadn’t been continuously sealing her acupuncture points, the woman alone would not have been able to proceed.

"Celestial Pool! Divine Storehouse! Hold still!"

Realizing that this could not continue, the woman clenched her teeth and shouted, ready to make a last-ditch effort.

Jiang Shouzhong pressed down in succession and suddenly felt a rebounding force surging from within the woman’s body, nearly shaking his hands apart.

Jiang Shouzhong hastily exerted more strength, firmly pressing down on the two major acupuncture points, his arms trembling uncontrollably.

The woman furrowed her brows, sweat dripping from her hair and jade-like neck, the beads of perspiration fell, mingling with the fresh blood.

The black bead, which seemed to be alive, was finally forced out by more than half.

Upon closer inspection, a delicately small lotus flower was embedded on the other end of the bead, the lotus swaying gently as if caressed by a breeze, appearing somewhat enchanting when stained with blood.

What on earth is this damned thing!?

Jiang Shouzhong was astonished in his heart and swallowed hard.

By now, the woman was clearly at her limit. The black bead, embedded with the eerie lotus, was just a small fraction away from being squeezed out of the wound.

Jiang Shouzhong’s hands were nearly numb, at any moment, they could be shaken open by that force.

Seeing the black bead beginning to retract, Jiang Shouzhong bit his teeth and, seizing the opportunity, grabbed and gave a forceful tug, violently pulling it out.

"Don’t touch it with your hands!"

The woman suddenly opened her eyes, hurriedly shouting out.

But it was a step too late.

The black bead, like a blood-thirsty parasite, burrowed into Jiang Shouzhong’s palm and disappeared.

Seeing this, the woman’s face changed dramatically. She swiftly tapped a few points on Jiang Shouzhong’s chest, placed the base of her palm against the man’s central chest area, and pushed upwards with force.

The black bead flew out from the man’s mouth, caught between the woman’s fingers.

Yet the lotus on the bead had vanished without a trace.

"Are you out of your mind!?" The woman’s pretty face was dreadfully grim as she scolded, "Do you know what this is? To just carelessly touch it!"

Jiang Shouzhong had no choice but to say, "You should have said so earlier."

The woman wanted to tear open his clothes to check, but Jiang Shouzhong backed away several steps.

"If you don’t want to die, come here!" The woman spoke sternly.

She wanted to chase after him, but the effort of healing had drained all her energy, and she didn’t have the strength to get up, only able to pant and warn, "Jiang Mo, that’s the ’Underworld Flower’ poison bead from the Western Regions. If you were a martial artist, you could protect your heart meridian with True Qi. But as an ordinary person, if you don’t receive treatment soon, you will undoubtedly die!"

Having said this, the woman was annoyed with herself as well.

When she had fought with that foxy minx from Xichu Pavilion, she hadn’t expected the other to have a hidden weapon with poison.

Poison bead?

Jiang Shouzhong’s brows furrowed tightly.

He didn’t feel any abnormalities within his body, instead, the little golden figure of the yin charm seemed to have become excited momentarily.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Shouzhong didn’t dare to take chances and approached the woman.

The woman rudely tore open his clothing.

But there were no black threads spreading across the man’s body.

The woman uttered a "Huh" and pressed several acupuncture points in succession, her expression revealing a hint of astonishment.

"How do you feel?"

The woman, unable to detect any poison within Jiang Shouzhong’s body, asked.

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head slightly, "I don’t feel anything. Maybe the poison is gone."

The woman remained silent, her willow eyebrows deeply furrowed.

Could the poison really be gone?

Unable to understand the reason, the woman temporarily set aside her doubts, asked Jiang Shouzhong for a clean cloth to redress her wound, put on her dress to cover the exposed enchanting spring scenery.

She placed her saber next to her and with complicated emotions said: "I didn’t expect you would help me, even almost sacrificing your life."

Jiang Shouzhong smiled and said: "I have always been one to pity and cherish beautiful women."

The woman tugged the corner of her mouth, "From last night when we met, I didn’t know when I was unconscious, but from then until now, you’ve had the intent to kill me nineteen times. That doesn’t seem very chivalrous. It really surprises me that you would genuinely help me."

Caught out on his true thoughts, Jiang Shouzhong showed no embarrassment or panic, casually waved his hand and said with a bright smile, "Not at all, you’ve misunderstood."

The woman continued to scoff.

Jiang Shouzhong candidly said: "I figured you would kill me, so I thought about striking first. But given your special identity, I would have the intent but not the guts. Instead of making an enemy, why not strive for good karma, right?"

Of course, there were things left unsaid.

The reason he ultimately refrained from taking action was because Li Nanshuang once mentioned that the lady of Silver Moon Tower secretly possessed many martial arts treasures.

If he could form a good relationship with her, perhaps he could hit the jackpot.

Play the long game to catch the big fish.

"Smart people do live longer."

The woman muttered to herself, a trace of irritation flashing across her fair and cold face. She gripped the handle of her saber tightly, but ultimately sighed and laid down on the bed, saying, "I need to rest for a moment; there shouldn’t be anyone coming, right?"

"Who can say." Jiang Shouzhong shook his head.

"Just fifteen minutes will do."

The woman closed her eyes and began to regulate her breathing.

Jiang Shouzhong thought for a moment, gathered some firewood and coal to start a fire, scooped some brown rice from the rice jar, and planned to make some porridge for breakfast.

The woman suddenly asked: "How did you find me last night?"

Jiang Shouzhong’s face looked odd as he confessed: "There used to be someone who liked hide-and-seek, and I was thinking of her last night, so I ended up calling out instinctively."
