Hearing this, Xu Mu immediately took a few cautious steps back, "Senior, there's something I lied to you about."
"What?"
Nalan Shisan stood up, only a meter away from Xu Mu.
She was about 1.7 meters tall with a slightly plump figure. Especially those eyes, combined with purple eyeshadow, made her look like a mature, wicked succubus.
Seeing this person, the first thing that came to Xu Mu's mind was a car: Luxgen.
No wonder Hat Bro took her in. Although Xu Mu wouldn't do so, he could understand him.
"I'm not a cleaner. I just wanted to use this title to make you hand over my sister. Unfortunately, you didn't give me any face."
Xu Mu shrugged. "I'm from the Righteous to Evil Sect, and I'm sworn enemies with Wang Hun. He sent people to kidnap my sister just to instigate a fight between you and me."
"I've never heard of this sect."
Nalan Shisan raised her hand and brushed her long silver hair. "I think that girl from earlier is quite nice. Reaching that realm right after coming of age, I want to keep her."
"Senior, aren't you being a bit unreasonable?"
Xu Mu put his hands in his pockets. "She is my sister, and school is about to start."
"I am just this unreasonable. You didn't think I was an easy person to talk to, did you?"
Nalan Shisan pointed at Xu Mu. "Since you were able to pass through the array, it proves you killed my people."
"That's right. I have a good habit: whatever others give me, I always want to return it to them."
Xu Mu spread his hands. "Since they wanted to kill me, naturally I could only give them death."
"You're quite honest. However, since you killed my people, I can only send you down to the underworld."
Nalan Shisan slowly released the power within her body.
"You don't have much time left to live," Xu Mu suddenly said.
Hearing this, Nalan Shisan retracted her Qi and revealed a cold sneer. "At death's door, do you think cursing me will do any good?"
"You've been poisoned by a Gu. The Gu worms are accumulating in your meridians, causing a blockage. If I'm not mistaken, the power you release should be much greater than the power you actually exert, right?"
Xu Mu calmly observed Nalan Shisan. "To put it in terms you can understand, the power you use is at the Mortal Shedding Realm, but the power that bursts out is only at the Grandmaster Peak."
Hearing this, Nalan Shisan's expression suddenly changed. Then she immediately reacted, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I not know about my own body?"
"Then maybe I saw it wrong. It seems my medical skills are still not high enough."
Xu Mu waved his hand helplessly. "Since Senior wants to kill me, then bring it on."
"Hehe!"
Nalan Shisan chuckled lightly, then sat back down. "Although I don't have any of the symptoms you mentioned, I'm still very curious about what will happen next."
"The Gu worms will devour your flesh and blood to grow, eventually turning into something like a blood clot, completely blocking your meridians. When that time comes, you won't be able to use any power at all, becoming a cripple."
Xu Mu said with a smile, "Senior has so many enemies. If you become a cripple, you will definitely be killed. That's why I said you don't have much time left to live."
"Can you cure it?" Nalan Shisan immediately asked.
"Senior doesn't have these symptoms anyway. Whether I can cure it or not shouldn't have anything to do with you, right?"
Xu Mu stretched out his hand and said, "Senior better attack me. Living hasn't been very interesting lately, might as well pass on."
"Hahaha!"
Nalan Shisan suddenly covered her mouth and burst into laughter, her whole body shaking like a trembling flower branch. Then, she suddenly ordered the people below, "All of you, step down!"
"Yes!"
The middle-aged woman below signaled the few pretty boys present, and they all turned and left.
Before long, only Nalan Shisan and Xu Mu were left inside the huge palace.
"Little brother, there were too many people just now, so big sister definitely couldn't admit it casually. Now I'm telling you, what you said is right."
Nalan Shisan's face grew more solemn. "I can indeed feel a blockage in my body when I release my power."
"Then that means I guessed right."
When Xu Mu was observing her body just now, he had conveniently used his perception to inspect it, and sure enough, he saw the Gu worms accumulating inside her.
"Is it easy to cure?" Nalan Shisan asked immediately.
"Of course it's not easy. The meridians are deeply hidden within the body, and now the Gu worms have blocked them. Even if I cut open your body, slice open the meridians, and clear the blockage, as long as the Gu worms aren't eradicated, it will just get blocked again."
Xu Mu looked at Nalan Shisan and said.
Hearing this, Nalan Shisan's face turned deathly pale. She had never thought before that it would be this serious.
"Little brother, I just want to ask you one thing. Can you cure it?"
Nalan Shisan stared at Xu Mu and asked.
"I can."
Xu Mu smiled and nodded. "Although it will require many courses of treatment, I can definitely cure it."
Hearing this, Nalan Shisan nodded gently. "As long as you treat me, I'll let your sister go."
Xu Mu grinned. "Anyone who didn't know better would think Senior is threatening me."
"What do you mean?"
Nalan Shisan frowned.
"For Senior's condition, apart from me, almost no one can completely cure it."
Xu Mu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a disdainful gaze. "Since I dared to come in, I'm not afraid of you killing me. On the contrary, I can turn this place upside down. Letting my sister go in exchange for me saving you? Keep dreaming!"
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill her?"
Nalan Shisan said sternly.
"If my sister dies, you will die too. I don't think you would trade your life for hers."
Xu Mu's expression was calm.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Nalan Shisan asked in a deep voice.
Just as Xu Mu said, her own life was incredibly precious. How could a little girl compare to her?
"Obediently let my sister go, and then serve me with good food and drink. Only then will I consider treating you."
Xu Mu sat down next to Nalan Shisan and crossed his legs.
He wouldn't treat Nalan Shisan so quickly. This wretched woman dared to put on an act in front of him; he had to make her pay a heavy price.
Anyway, he was the one treating this illness, so whatever he said goes.
"Little brother, I can agree to everything you said, but there's a premise. Why should I believe you can cure me?"
Nalan Shisan suddenly asked.
Having lived for so many years, she knew very well that it was better to be safe than sorry.
She couldn't just let the person go based on a few words from him.
"That's simple. You have several blockages in your body. I can use brute force to clear them out for you first."
Xu Mu looked at Nalan Shisan and said, "However, this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. The Gu worms will just block it again."
"Alright."
Nalan Shisan nodded.
"Cut the crap and take off your clothes."
Xu Mu took out his silver needles and laid them out flat.
Nalan Shisan hesitated for a moment, then took off her clothes.
If this kid was deceiving her, she would definitely tear him into ten thousand pieces.
Xu Mu took a deep breath. Sure enough, everyone's physique was different.
At present, he could be considered to have done some research on the different types of granaries.
Xu Ruoying's was teardrop-shaped. Although he had never actually touched it, he was forced to see it with his perception when she took a bath after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
And Fu Jinyu's was different.
