The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

"What a great trading partner, it's a pity he has a mouth!"

Li Yunqing remained silent, a sudden chill and detachment rising in her serene expression, and she paid no heed to it.

Jiang Jing, observing these subtle changes in Li Yunqing, suddenly brightened up.

Li Yunqing's transformation in that instant was like a serene fairy turning into an unapproachable celestial maiden.

As he smelled that alluring aroma, his heart pounded even more wildly and heavily.

An impulse arose in his heart to find out the truth and see the real Li Yunqing.

As the Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, he was already in a high position, and the thought flashed through his mind, so he did just that.

"I know Miss Yunqing dislikes Jiang Yu, but I'd like to know what kind of man Miss Yunqing admires most..."

Jiang Jing smiled, and his tone became somewhat casual.

But before he could finish speaking, he saw Li Yunqing suddenly raise her hand.

Her fair, jade-like fingers gently held a needle, slicing through the air and piercing it directly into his neck.

Caught off guard, Jiang Jing suddenly stopped, opened his mouth but couldn't utter a sound, his dark eyes filled with astonishment for a moment.

He looked at Li Yunqing with some disbelief.

They never expected Li Yunqing to make such a sudden move.

"That temper!"

Seeing Li Yunqing still quiet and unmoved, Jiang Jing's heart pounded, and he understood that she was angry again.

"Even getting angry is so interesting!"

Just as this thought crossed Jiang Jing's mind, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back.

The next moment, the pain spread throughout his entire body.

"hiss……"

Jiang Jing gasped, but couldn't make a sound; only her lips twitched uncontrollably: "It hurts!"

It was completely unlike the gentle treatment I received the previous two times, where I didn't feel much.

The silver needle in Li Yunqing's hand seemed not to be a silver needle, but a sharp blade, slowly cutting through his flesh and scraping his bones.

"No, I just want to say a few more words..."

Jiang Jing was speechless, but the pain in his body did not stop at all; on the contrary, it became more and more painful.

Until the cold toxins in the body are activated, an even more intense pain strikes.

It was like a barbed blade being slowly pulled out of his bones.

"Well……"

Jiang Jing's body trembled violently, his teeth clenched, veins throbbing wildly on his arms and neck, and his forehead covered in cold sweat.

A chill was spreading, and the hot water in the bathtub was cooling down rapidly.

At that moment, stimulated by the intense pain, time seemed to pass extremely slowly.

Even circulating one's inner energy cannot isolate one from that piercing pain.

"Did I tell you to be a smart aleck?"

"Why do you ask so many questions?"

"Go ahead and ask if you dare!"

Seeing Jiang Jing's pained expression, Li Yunqing pursed her lips slightly.

She is a physician and also practices the Medicine King Sutra. If she wanted, she would have a thousand ways to make people wish they were dead.

This was just a small lesson.

"Buzz..."

Intense, chilling poison poured out through the silver needles.

Wherever it passed, the air froze, instantly turning into ice.

This time, she held nothing back, directly extracting two strands without even using the Seven Deadly Needles to deliberately guide or isolate the pain.

Instead, they became even more unscrupulous.

The Medicine King Scripture is circulated, drawing in the cold energy and drawing it into the body.

In that instant, Li Yunqing also felt that terrifying chill, which seemed to be able to freeze a person's flesh and soul.

Even the Mingyu Force and Yaowang Force within his body circulated at a speed several times slower.

However, Li Yunqing was not alarmed at all. With a thought, she unsheathed her Yin Spirit.

The two strands of cold energy were separated and landed on the physical body and the spirit respectively.

At this moment, she clearly felt the sword intent and chill within her Yin spirit surging, and the Medicine King Force within her body was also rapidly transforming.

The tempering of the physical body also rapidly improved at this moment.

The tingling, numb, sore, and itchy sensation rose again.

Li Yunqing gritted her teeth slightly, not making a sound, and quickly sensed the coldness, tempering her physical body.

It moved at an extremely fast speed, as if the essence of something had been refined through countless trials and tribulations, all of which was incorporated into the skin and flesh.

At that moment, Li Yunqing clearly felt that her strength had instantly broken through the sixth level of tempering and was still rising rapidly.

The chilling aura finally dissipated when it was just a hair's breadth away from the seventh tempering.

She slightly opened her eyes and saw rows of words flashing by.

"Frost Sword Technique experience +207."

"Frost Sword Technique (Mastery 1326/3000) Characteristic: Natural Sword Bones"

"Medicine King's Scripture Experience +412."

"The Medicine King Sutra (Minor Completion 1303/3000) Characteristics: Identifies medicines by their fragrance, and is immune to all poisons."

"Strength: Low-grade Initial Realm (55% → 66%)"

"Frosty Sword Intent: Beginner (27% → 37%)"

"Yin Shen: Minor Success (33% → 35%)"

"Six quenchings are needed; at most, another day is required to complete the seventh."

"Sword intent and Yin spirit have also been honed and strengthened!"

"very good!"

A smile appeared on Li Yunqing's face as she looked at Jiang Jing, who was still trembling all over and sweating profusely.

She waved her hand to put away the silver needles, then walked out of the room without looking back, leaving behind only a calm, emotionless voice: "Next treatment, in two days."

"call……"

Feeling the pain all over his body disappear, Jiang Jing suddenly let out a long breath, collapsed in the bathtub, and turned to look at Li Yunqing's back.

"You can't even feel your pulse anymore?"

At that moment, he felt both annoyed and amused.

This little temper of hers means she can't stand being taken advantage of at all.

Those who are capable of taking action show no mercy; I wonder who they learned that from?

"But it's quite interesting!"

Jiang Jing leaned against the bathtub, a smile on his usually cold and hard face.

He had figured out Li Yunqing's temperament. As long as certain things weren't brought up, Li Yunqing was gentle and quiet, and could chat with people.

He was extremely polite, but it was precisely because of his politeness that he gave people a sense of distance, as if he treated everyone the same.

Her thoughts are hard to fathom.

But once her temper is provoked, as long as she has someone to rely on, she will never hold back if she can resort to violence or vent her anger.

Lu Xingzhou, the disciple of the Sword Saint, tried it all this time as well.

But that's not the point. The point is that even knowing she was no match for Zhou Ke, the eldest son of the Zhou family, and knowing that the enemy was powerful, she could still endure it.

They know when to advance and when to retreat, possess wisdom in dealing with people and affairs, and never hesitate to act when necessary.

If he were a man, he would surely achieve great things.

She is a woman, yet she brings a pleasant surprise, giving people a unique and unexpected feeling.

He was at the mid-level of the Qi Realm. Although he suppressed the cold poison and could not exert his full strength, he could still intimidate countless people.

But after Li Yunqing gained the support of a physician, she showed him no mercy whatsoever.

Why do I always find it amusing when she throws a tantrum?

Jiang Jing placed his fingers on the edge of the bathtub and began to tap them rhythmically.

A strange thought arose in his mind: he wanted to tease Li Yunqing from time to time and see her throw a tantrum.

As for the pain, after being tormented by the cold poison for three years and fighting with demons and evil gods for a long time, he did not find it unbearable.

On the contrary, he could sense the fluctuations in Li Yunqing's emotions. He felt a little happy and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"And that fragrance..."

Thinking of Li Yunqing's fragrance, Jiang Jing inexplicably sniffed again, and could still smell the scent of Li Yunqing in the room.

It smells wonderful, and once you've experienced it, you'll never forget it.

It makes your heart race and has a mysterious attraction.

This is a feeling I've never experienced with any other woman.

If it weren't for the extremely pure and elegant fragrance, like the noble purity of a snow lotus, he would have thought that fragrance was an alluring scent.

"Almost there! I can actually use half of my true energy!"

Feeling the increasingly smooth flow of true energy within his body, Jiang Jing felt even more delighted.

"Wait until your strength is fully restored."

Thinking about this, he suddenly wondered what would happen to Li Yunqing after she lost her support.

How will I face myself?

At this moment, Jiang Jing's heart was filled with anticipation, and the smile on his lips grew even wider.

"What...would you do?"
