I am a high-level martial arts master.

The atmosphere inside the inn was somber.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, casting dappled shadows on the three figures.

The coldness on Wei Wanxi's once aloof and beautiful face was gone.

Lady Wei stared blankly at the ceiling, a tear sliding down her cheek as memories of everything that had happened a moment ago flooded her mind.

Wei Wanxi felt that she was not clean.

Unlike Jiang Xiyue, who took the Panacea in multiple doses and only used one-fifth of it in total, this time...

Ye Li doesn't need to be stingy with Wei Wanxi.

To treat the corpse poison that had almost seeped into her heart, Ye Li fed her the remaining antidote pills all at once, encapsulated within his internal energy. Instead of feeding her small, frequent meals, he gave her a full meal to maximize the medicinal effect.

The cadaveric poison is severe, and the poisoning is already deep.

Using medicine to remove it is like a life-or-death battle within the body.

This naturally provoked the fiercest resistance.

Ye Li was focused on saving people, so Jiang Xiyue could only hold down Wei Wanxi's stiff, throbbing legs.

Jiang Xiyue's face was incredibly rosy.

Both the first-person and third-person perspectives witnessed the detoxification process.

Considering that Ye Li actually fed her the entire Wanling Pill at once, it's no wonder that Miss Wei reacted so strongly.

But at the same time, she felt vaguely uncomfortable.

Seeing Ye Li doing to other women what he should be doing to her, her possessiveness made her somewhat protective of her.

"It's finally done."

After a long while, Ye Li let out a weary sigh and leaned against the cold corner of the wall.

Looking at his right hand, Ye Li's strange expression was tinged with weariness.

Using internal energy to expel the poison is too taxing on my true energy. After these two battles, I feel even more tired than when I fought Duhe.

Fortunately, both of them were saved, so all my efforts weren't in vain.

"Thank you for your hard work, sir."

Jiang Xiyue's ears turned red, and she dared not look directly at Ye Li.

"You scoundrel, I'm going to kill you!"

Wei Wanxi stared at Ye Li with resentment.

Thinking about everything she had just experienced, she felt so grief-stricken and indignant that she felt like dying. She had never suffered such a great injustice before.

She felt that her life was going to be ruined by Ye Li.

Last time it was his hands, and this time it's still his hands. She doesn't even dare to think about what Ye Li will do to her next time.

"She's so energetic, she seems alright. And shouting so loudly, Miss Wei, are you trying to make sure everyone outside can hear you?"

Ye Li glanced silently at the ashamed and indignant girl in front of him, and the image of that fleeting glimpse of her subconsciously surfaced in his mind.

This woman is... well, she looks...

So it turns out that big things aren't just about the breasts.

Ye Li silently suppressed the thought in his heart.

As readers know, Ye Li has always been a gentleman.

I only glanced at it by accident; I kept my eyes closed the rest of the time.

"Alas, my photographic memory is a curse!" Ye Li thought to herself.

He rubbed his temples wearily; this was the first time he had ever done something like treating and saving lives.

Fortunately, the whole process wasn't disgusting.

After all, those in the Acquired Realm are half-immortals who do not eat grains and have no needs like ordinary people.

Looking at these two women, one shy and delicate, the other playfully angry and refreshingly elegant.

Ye Li said calmly, "Since your lives are not in danger, then recover your inner strength here."

"Don't forget there's still one enemy, the one with the [Dao Heart Transformation into Demon], that we haven't dealt with yet. The battle isn't over yet."

After saying that, Ye Li walked out of the inn, leaving the two women alone, looking at each other in bewilderment.

After Ye Li's figure disappeared into the room, Jiang Xiyue covered her still burning cheeks and secretly looked up at Wei Wanxi in the opposite corner.

The other person had their eyes closed, their long eyelashes still damp, and their tightly pursed lips revealed a stubbornness.

"Miss Wei, where in Xia Kingdom are you from? With your cultivation level, how come I've never heard of you in Xia Kingdom before?"

Jiang Xiyue began to subtly probe, trying to find out the identity of this competitor.

The waters of the Xia Kingdom are not deep; there are only a few innate beings.

Given his cultivation level, realm, methods, and appearance, he should have been famous throughout the Xia Kingdom long ago, with many suitors.

Wei Wanxi's long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

The mist in her eyes had mostly faded, and she had regained her usual cool demeanor, though a trace of shame, anger, and exhaustion remained deep within.

She looked at Jiang Xiyue with a calm and unwavering gaze, as if her earlier outburst had never happened.

"Miss Jiang, I am not from the Xia Kingdom."

She paused, meeting Jiang Xiyue's probing gaze, thus sealing off any possibility of what might happen next:

"I'm only here to complete a task for my family. I'll leave after eliminating the last person. I have no intention of, and will never, compete with you for that scoundrel!" She turned her head slightly, avoiding Jiang Xiyue's gaze, and looked at the broken moonlight outside the window. Her tone was indifferent to the point of being distant: "Please rest assured, Miss." Seeing Wei Wanxi's resolute words, Jiang Xiyue felt much more at ease.

Anyway, as long as you have yourself, there's no room for a third person in a world of two.

After doing such shameful things with the guest, she told her parents that she would not marry anyone but Ye Li after returning to the capital.

Outside, the battle was over.

After Duhe's dying curse, the blood corpses turned into thick water shortly after the outbreak.

The entire Guangming area has been completely wiped out of the blood corpses.

Zheng Tong and Li Guancai gathered a group of Houtian after dealing with the blood corpses and began to take stock of the losses.

Seeing Ye Li approach, he put down his work, his eyes filled with deep emotion.

In just six months, Ye Li had reached such a level, even surpassing his master.

But then he recalled the scene of Ye Li carrying the two women away earlier, and asked with concern:

"Were the injuries inflicted on Miss Jiang and Miss Wei a success or a failure?"

It got hard...

Ye Li thought to herself, but said aloud:

"Master, rest assured, I have a holy antidote on me, which has already saved the two of them."

"That's good then." Zheng Tong said, looking at the devastated Guangming City, and couldn't help but sigh:

"After this battle, Guangming is no longer as prosperous as it once was. Seven out of ten martial artists who have acquired their talents have been eliminated, and those who have undergone body tempering are almost extinct."

"The remaining surviving civilians and warriors will likely flee to other cities as if they were fleeing a famine."

"Although our Azure Dragon Gang's Body Tempering disciples survived for unknown reasons, more than half of our Acquired Elders were killed or injured."

Ye Li listened silently to Zheng Tong's outpouring, and after a long while, patted Zheng Tong on the shoulder and said:

"Master, being alive is the best thing. As long as we can survive, there is always hope."

"When I become a Martial Saint in the future, Guangming will be the Martial Saint's hometown. Then, how can the Azure Dragon not prosper?"

Seeing his apprentice like this, Zheng Tong shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't be arrogant just because you have some achievements. You are only at the purple level, and above purple are orange and gold."

"A difference of just one tier results in a world of difference in the effects of the entries; it's an insurmountable gap."

"Within the Xia Kingdom, there are very few purple entries like yours."

"But above the Xia Kingdom, there are the Immortal Sects. The Immortal Sects recruit talents from the Southern Region. Even the most ordinary menial disciples have at least blue rare attributes."

"Just like the 'List of Prodigies of All Nations,' every prodigy in the Acquired Realm on it is a terrifying existence capable of taking on a hundred opponents. The top ten have even stepped out of the extreme realm and are able to defy the Innate Realm."

As he spoke, Zheng Tong looked at Ye Li and said:

"If you can reach the Innate Realm in this lifetime, I will be very satisfied. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Ye Li nodded, then said nonchalantly:

"But Master, I'm only at the early stage of the Acquired Realm and I can already rival those at the peak of the Acquired Realm. What will happen when I reach the peak of the Acquired Realm? Won't I be able to take off?" "Defying the Innate Realm? I think I can do that too."

Zheng Tong: ...
