Urban Martial Saint

Huangfu Ziyu was startled for a moment and turned her head in surprise to look at the two women beside her, saying, ”What happened?”

”We don’t know either!” The two women hurriedly said, ”He suddenly rushed out, drank a few sips of cold water, then charged into the room and grabbed a pen to stab his own thigh; we couldn’t stop him at all!”

Tianfu had already come in from behind and was also astonished upon hearing the words of the two women.

”It seems that the cold water stimulated him, allowing him to regain some consciousness. He drank a few sips of cold water and then stabbed his thigh with the pen to stay awake. But the effects of the drug were too powerful, he couldn’t hold on, so he knocked himself out with a vase!” Tianfu said solemnly.

Huangfu Ziyu slightly furrowed her brows and looked at Ye Qing lying unconscious on the ground, her expression finally easing slightly. She suddenly walked over, effortlessly picked up Ye Qing, and said sternly, ”You all leave!”

”Miss...” Tianfu started to speak, but Huangfu Ziyu sternly interrupted him, ”Leave!”

Seeing Huangfu Ziyu’s determined expression, Tianfu didn’t dare say more, only sighed and left the room with Xiao Hong and Xiao Lu.

Locking the door from inside, Huangfu Ziyu placed Ye Qing on the bed. Looking at his unconscious figure, a slight smile crossed her face. Her previously vexing mood was completely relieved in that moment. Although the problem was still unresolved, she was at least very happy inside.

Outside the door, the two women and Tianfu stood together. Seeing Huangfu Ziyu lock the door, both women became somewhat anxious.

”Uncle Fu, what does the miss intend to do?” Xiao Hong asked anxiously.

”It seems she’s attempting to force out the poison from Ye Qing’s body,” Tianfu said.

”What?” Xiao Lu also became anxious and said, ”Didn’t you say that it’s very dangerous? Uncle Fu, why didn’t you stop the miss?”

”With her in that state just now, did you think I could stop her?” Tianfu sighed and said softly, looking at the door, ”However, Ye Qing truly is a gentleman. Even under such circumstances, both of you went to that extent, yet he preferred to knock himself out rather than let you help him. Such a man truly deserves to be our Huangfu household’s son-in-law!”

Hearing this, Xiao Hong and Xiao Lu looked at each other. The two women felt somewhat reassured.

”But, his strength is ultimately still too weak!” Tianfu sighed despondently, ”He has no possibility of entering the realm of Internal Energy Release anymore. Without stepping into this realm, he will always be just a practitioner of External Sect, unable to enter the realm of Neijia. A son-in-law of the Huangfu household should at least be able to shoulder half of the household’s burden. With him, it’s just not enough!”

”Uncle Fu, actually, with the miss’s strength, Huangfu household’s son-in-law doesn’t necessarily need to be very powerful!” Xiao Hong said with a smile, ”The most important thing is that there are not many men that the miss takes a fancy to. Now that she has found one, you should be happy for her!”

Tianfu gave a bitter smile and shook his head. Huangfu Ziyu had disliked men intensely since childhood, never having affections for any man. Actually, he had also been thinking about this matter. Even if Huangfu Ziyu could revive the Huangfu household, without a man who caught her eye, wouldn’t the Huangfu family be without descendants?

Therefore, he was both concerned and frightened about Huangfu Ziyu’s private affairs. He was worried that Huangfu Ziyu might never marry in her lifetime and scared that she might encounter romantic tribulations. After all, even the most powerful women often cannot overcome emotional struggles!

Inside the room, Huangfu Ziyu laid Ye Qing on the bed and attempted to set him in a crossed-legged position. However, as soon as she lifted his body, Ye Qing’s legs involuntarily stretched out. She arranged his legs properly, but his body slumped again. Left with no choice, she bit her lip, extended her arms to embrace Ye Qing, and lifted him up; then she crossed his legs.

In the over twenty years of Huangfu Ziyu’s life, she had never been so close to any man.

But in the end, she gritted her teeth, pushed Ye Qing away, and placed her hands on his back, slowly infusing True Qi, intending to drive all the poison out of Ye Qing’s body.

At this moment, Ye Qing was still unconscious, completely unaware of what was happening outside. His body was turbulent with energy, and his Internal Breath was chaotically surging. The effect of He Qinghua’s Blazing Red Lips was extremely fierce, impossible for anyone to resist, and Ye Qing was no exception. Despite being passed out, the Internal Breath in his body was still highly aggressive.

As Huangfu Ziyu’s Internal Breath rushed into Ye Qing’s body, it immediately met with full resistance from Ye Qing’s Internal Breath.

Ye Qing had trained in martial arts with Third Master Li for so many years. Although Third Master Li had never taught him the techniques of the Neijia, his training in boxing had subtly imparted these skills to him. Therefore, his Inner Strength had also accumulated over many years. Later on, after obtaining the Acupoint Seeking Technique and using the methods inside to mobilize the Internal Breath in his Dantian, he truly developed his Inner Strength. Thus, his Inner Strength was not weak; at least it was able to hold off Huangfu Ziyu’s Internal Breath.

Huangfu Ziyu frowned slightly, knowing that helping Ye Qing expel the poison was not an easy task. Additionally, now with Ye Qing’s Internal Breath resisting, it became even more difficult. Moreover, when her Inner Strength entered Ye Qing’s body, it was already weakened by half. Trying to suppress Ye Qing’s Inner Strength was not an easy task either.

Huangfu Ziyu clenched her teeth tightly, pouring all her Inner Strength in an attempt to suppress Ye Qing’s Inner Strength. And Ye Qing’s Inner Strength, stimulated by the Blazing Red Lips, also resisted fiercely. The Inner Strength of the two actually reached a stalemate.

This situation lasted for nearly an hour, and Huangfu Ziyu was consistently unable to suppress Ye Qing’s Internal Breath. Moreover, she could distinctly feel that Ye Qing was about to wake up, which made her even more anxious.

If she couldn’t expel the poison from his body before Ye Qing woke up, his awakening would likely complicate things further. Moreover, having expended so much Internal Breath, she now had very little strength left. If Ye Qing woke up, she might not be able to suppress him, leaving her completely at his mercy.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Ziyu’s face turned bright red as she clenched her teeth and once again increased her Internal Breath. However, the result was still the same as before; she simply couldn’t suppress Ye Qing. Yet, she clearly felt Ye Qing’s little finger twitch slightly—he was on the verge of waking up.

In the current situation, if Ye Qing woke up with the drug’s effect being suppressed for so long, it would likely be even more horrifying. Moreover, having been knocked unconscious once, it would probably not be easy to knock him out again. Also, with the Blazing Red Lips in his system for so long, it seemed like Ye Qing’s energy was boiling, indicating significant damage to his body. If she couldn’t expel the drug soon, his blood vessels might just burst!

Huangfu Ziyu was extremely worried, but despite her formidable abilities, she was helpless at the moment. Seeing Ye Qing slowly opening his eyes, she couldn’t even withdraw her hands and could only watch as Ye Qing’s eyes gradually turned bloodshot, his mouth emitting a deep, beast-like roar: ”Hooo hooo hooo…”

Huangfu Ziyu’s face turned bright red as she slowly withdrew her Internal Breath, hesitating whether or not to knock Ye Qing out again. Of course, she was very aware that if Ye Qing passed out again and she couldn’t save him, it would cost him his life, so she was very hesitant.

At this moment of uncertainty, Ye Qing’s hands had already grabbed her shoulders, giving her a feeling of weakness throughout her body. She was startled, her expression turned cold, and she raised her hand ready to strike Ye Qing. Just then, a melodious flute music suddenly came in through the window. The music was very clear, as if ringing beside her ear—its melodious tune made one unconsciously want to relax.

Huangfu Ziyu slowly lowered her hand, her expression somewhat softened. Looking at Ye Qing again, he had released his hands, the red glow in his eyes fading away. Although his eyes were still expressionless, at least the aggressive glint was gone, as if he was influenced by the flute music.

The melody was light and seemed like a breeze passing through a bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves rustling softly, or like a gentle rain hitting the eaves, the dripping water soundlessly moistening the spring. The music was elegant and light, but irresistibly captivating. Even Ye Qing, was now completely immersed in the music, forgetting everything else, free from the control of the mesmerizing medicine. The entire room was in a state of peaceful tranquility, calming one’s mind like still water.

Just then, the flute music suddenly paused, and Huangfu Ziyu snapped back to alertness, her expression turning grave. She knew very well that the flute music had the power to bewitch, and the Flute Player was certainly no ordinary person!

However, before she could stand up, the flute music resumed. This time, Huangfu Ziyu was more cautious. Hearing the music, she immediately grabbed some paper from a nearby table and stuffed it into her ears, which gave her some relief.

But Ye Qing was still immersed in the flute music, his body gradually relaxing.

Huangfu Ziyu frowned, glancing outside the window and then back at Ye Qing, before finally gritting her teeth and placing her hands on him again.

She could see that the poison in Ye Qing’s body had been temporarily suppressed by the flute music, giving her the best chance to expel it. Of course, by choosing to detoxify Ye Qing at this time, she couldn’t go out in search of the Flute Player, which made her hesitate. However, she eventually decided to first save Ye Qing, showing that in her heart, the importance of certain people and things had begun to shift.

Of course, this time, Huangfu Ziyu’s Inner Strength faced no resistance and directly surged into Ye Qing’s body. Ye Qing’s True Qi seemed to be suppressed by the flute music, showing no agitation or resistance, allowing her Inner Strength to flow unhindered.

She slowly mobilized her Inner Strength, forcing out the poison from Ye Qing’s body. Ye Qing finally freed himself from the entanglement of the Blazing Red Lips!
