Huang Rong from The Return of the Condor Heroes: Brother Jing, let's get a divorce.

Cheng Ying was both embarrassed and anxious.

As the last disciple of Peach Blossom Island, even if she was forced to agree to be his concubine, it was only as a temporary measure for survival.

How could things be like this now, in this dilapidated, drafty woodshed, being held tightly in the arms of an unconscious man?

She struggled twice, kicking her legs on the dry grass.

The wound left by the sword wind on her side was scratched by the stubble of dry grass, causing her to clench her teeth in pain.

With that movement, her already torn skirt slid all the way down to her upper thighs.

Yang Guo moved accordingly.

Cheng Ying's whole body stiffened.

She could even sense Yang Guo's unusual behavior, a natural reaction of a man after being subjected to strong stimulation.

"Don't do this, let me go!" Cheng Ying lowered her voice and pushed Yang Guo's shoulders away with both hands.

However, Yang Guo completely lost his rationality and acted entirely on instinct, relying on his martial arts skills.

He sensed the yin energy in his arms trying to escape, and instead raised his head.

His lips haphazardly nibbled at Cheng Ying's face, moving down her cheeks and finally biting her earlobe.

The man's heavy breathing hit her earlobe, and the heat from his breath made half of her neck turn red.

Cheng Ying's body trembled uncontrollably.

Her hands grew weaker and weaker, and the hands that had been resting on Yang Guo's shoulders eventually became limp and lifeless.

Cheng Ying bit her lower lip, forcing herself to wake up.

She reached down with one hand and touched Yang Guo's lower abdomen, specifically his dantian area.

The moment her palm touched his, her expression changed.

The temperature is wrong.

The Peach Blossom Island Sutra Repository contains a copy of the "Inner Scripture" annotated by Huang Yaoshi, which records an extremely rare symptom.

If a cultivator in the Innate Realm suffers damage to their Dantian, the Yin and Yang energies become unbalanced, and the Yang Fire will rise along the Du Meridian, burning the meridian walls layer by layer.

In the final stage, internal fire enters the brain, burning the soul and spirit.

Yang Guo's pulse at this moment matched this description.

With her palm pressed against the outside of her dantian, she could clearly feel the red and black primordial energy bead spinning at high speed.

Red represents Yang, and black represents Yin.

At this moment, the red yang energy had gained overwhelming power, continuously spewing out heat.

The black yin energy was compressed into a small clump, which could be swallowed up at any moment.

If no external force is used to replenish that mass of black yin energy and restore balance to the two forces, Yang Guo will not survive the night.

His meridians will be completely burned away by the yang fire, turning him into a cripple who will eventually die in agony.

Cheng Ying withdrew her hand, propped herself up, and stared at Yang Guo's face, which was flushed from the high fever.

Two voices were fighting in her head.

The first voice said, "Let him die."

With Yang Guo's death, all the humiliation she had suffered was wiped away.

The humiliation of being forced to shout out the words "chamber maid" at the mule market, the shame and resentment of being forced to undress and have his back wiped in the inn—all of these will be buried with this bastard in the yellow earth.

She was also the last disciple of Peach Blossom Island and Huang Yaoshi's most outstanding female disciple.

But the second voice was colder and more clear-headed.

What will happen to Lu Wushuang if Yang Guo dies?

What about her?

Tongguan was a military city.

Wang Jian commanded several thousand troops, and although Leng Feng was injured, he was not dead.

The soldiers were searching the entire city, but she and Lu Wushuang, two seriously injured women, couldn't even reach the city gate.

Now that they've fallen into the hands of Wang Jian and his son, what will that good-for-nothing Wang Zhaoxing do to them?

Cheng Ying dared not think any further.

Moreover, she was injured at this time.

The cold, sinister energy was still lingering in her lungs, causing her pain with every breath.

Peach Blossom Island's internal energy cultivation follows a pure and spiritual path, making it most vulnerable to the corrosive effects of such cold and dampness.

If left untreated, she will cough up blood incessantly within three to five days, and within half a month, her fundamental health will be damaged, rendering her martial arts completely useless.

Cheng Ying is an extremely intelligent woman.

Her intelligence lies not in fighting on the battlefield, but in calculating the gains and losses of each move.

Yang Guo was a man of extraordinary martial arts skills and terrifying potential.

He reached the peak of the early stage of the Innate Realm in his early twenties, and was able to fight Leng Feng, who was in the middle stage of the Innate Realm, to a standstill.

He was shrewd and adept at winning people's hearts; he could even win over the incompetent son of the Tongguan garrison commander with a few words.

Under his leadership, the Quanzhen Sect was completely transformed. Only a few days after descending the mountain, it had already begun to expand its reach into Guanzhong and Xiangyang.

It would be such a pity if a man like this died in this dilapidated woodshed.

But what if we survive?

Cheng Ying's gaze fell on the faint red and black glimmer beneath Yang Guo's clothing, her thoughts racing.

She already knew that the Qiankun Technique was a dual cultivation method.

That night in the dilapidated temple, when Yang Guo used his palm to infuse her with internal energy, she remembered clearly the flow of that hot and tingling internal force.

The Peach Blossom Island Sutra Repository contains records of the Yin-Yang dual cultivation technique. Although Huang Yaoshi denounced it as a heretical practice, the principles behind it are explained very clearly.

Once the practitioner loses consciousness, the yang fire in their body will leak out wildly, and they will seek pure yin energy to remedy the situation.

If the Yin energy cannot be channeled, the Yang fire will backfire on the Dantian, burning all the way up, first burning the meridians, then damaging the internal organs, and finally even losing the condensed innate primordial energy bead.

And she happens to be the most suitable source of yin energy.
