World-Ending Demon Emperor

Chapter 970: 449: Fish die, nets break!

Fang Qingzhuo’s body had been afflicted with a severe poison called Heart Entwining!

Like other strange poisons from the Demon Continent, it did not kill immediately, but it had no cure outside of the Demon Continent.

It lodged directly in the heart, continuously devouring vitality.

Thus, the poisoned person’s vitality would gradually wither away, and to save their life, they could only beseech the Demon Continent for an antidote.

This logic was similar to the effect of holding Fang Qingzhuo hostage.

Yao Xing transformed into thousands of strands of energy, entering Fang Qingzhuo’s heart, then bit by bit, dislodged the strange poison entrenched therein.

These toxins mixed into the bloodstream and flowed out of the body through the Golden Needle stuck in the heart.

The entire process was truly like drawing silk.

It could be said that except for Yao Xing, there was indeed no other way to resolve this poison, as it had completely occupied every corner of the heart.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour!

An hour later, eighty percent of the poison that had been entrenched in Fang Qingzhuo’s heart was expelled, leaving twenty percent.

However, as the poison was eighty percent expelled, Fang Qingzhuo gradually regained her vitality.

At that moment, her delicate body slightly trembled, and she actually woke up, her long eyelashes fluttering as she opened her eyes.

Then, she saw her chest bared, with Suo Lun’s fingers pressing on her chest.

This situation was far too intimate and too awkward to explain. It was truly an embarrassing moment.

At first, like a startled little animal, Fang Qingzhuo instinctively covered her clothes, then quickly looked to the owner of the hand.

Seeing that it was Suo Lun, her initial shock gave way to relaxation, her face and ears completely flushed as she immediately understood what Suo Lun was doing.

Next, she did not know what to do; she somewhat hated herself for waking up.

Her gaze didn’t know where to rest, and neither did her hands and feet.

Finally, she simply closed her eyes, pretending as if nothing had happened.

A quarter of an hour later, the last trace of poison slid down through the Golden Needle.

With Yao Xing’s detoxification complete, Suo Lun removed his hand from Fang Qingzhuo’s chest.

Fang Qingzhuo was dazed for a while before finally opening her eyes and asking, "Is it done?"

"It’s done." Suo Lun replied.

Fang Qingzhuo was dazed for another moment, then hurriedly and clumsily dressed herself.

At this time, she really looked very adorable, as if her reactions were always a beat slow.

"Don’t tell anyone about this," Suo Lun said.

Fang Qingzhuo’s beautiful face flushed again, and she nodded vigorously, "Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone."

Suo Lun was momentarily speechless; she had clearly misunderstood.

So, he repeated, "I mean, don’t tell anyone about the method I used to detoxify you."

Only then did Fang Qingzhuo realize why Suo Lun could detoxify her, which was indeed very strange.

This was a strange poison from the Demon Continent, so how could Suo Lun detoxify it? Furthermore, the method of detoxification was so strange; it involved inserting a Golden Needle into the heart, then gradually expelling the venom.

Fang Qingzhuo immediately realized the gravity of the situation and nodded earnestly, "I understand, I won’t even tell Zhi Li."

"Thank you, sister-in-law," Suo Lun said.

Fang Qingzhuo immediately looked towards Lord Ashi Liren beside her and said, "Please quickly save Lord Ashi Liren; without her, my daughter and I would have faced calamity."

"Don’t worry, I will," Suo Lun replied.

"Do you need my help by your side?" Fang Qingzhuo asked softly.

Suo Lun shook his head.

"Then I’ll be heading up," Fang Qingzhuo said.

"Wait a moment," Suo Lun said, then placed one hand on her shoulder and pulled the Golden Needle from his chest.

Fang Qingzhuo’s face reddened, then she tried to leave composedly, but she had barely taken a few steps when she stumbled and nearly tripped and fell.

Suo Lun watched her retreating figure, sighing inwardly.

He truly could not imagine how, amid the environment of the four hidden continents, such a gentle and kind woman could be raised.

The people he knew from the four hidden continents were all high and mighty, displaying lifelong scorn. That bone-deep coldness, ruthlessness, and heartlessness characterized almost every one of them.

Only Fang Qingzhuo, compared to the vast majority, had a heart filled with compassion and kindness.

Perhaps it was related to her studies at the Dragon Temple.

The Dragon Temple’s education was split into two types; the first was for the descendants of the four secret continents, a true elite education, teaching only one theme: how to rule the Human Kingdom.

The second type was for the royal family members of the Human Kingdom, an education designed to brainwash them, allowing them to embrace advanced ideas and then be better controlled by the Dragon Temple.

As a legitimate daughter of Yin Zhou, Fang Qingzhuo should have received that first type of elite education.

However, Yin Zhou, wanting to better control Zhi Li, sent Fang Qingzhuo to be close to him; thus, she and Zhi Li received the second type of education.

Of course, personality is determined by fate.

After Zhi Li received the education, he was still ruthless.

Even Commandery Princess Zhining was not an easy person to deal with; it was only after having a child that she truly changed.

But Fang Qingzhuo was genuinely attracted to the values of kindness and compassion, becoming a truly kind and righteous person.

...

Suo Lun approached Ashi Liren!

At that time, Liren was shrouded in a layer of frost.

Her whole being appeared even more like ice sculpted from jade.

Originally already at the pinnacle of beauty, now, after the backlash of the Dragon Yin Absolute Vein, amid this icy demeanor, she looked even more enchantingly beautiful.
