Chapter 1079: Chapter 1071: Nothing Left

“Hahaha, no matter who it is, death is the right thing. No matter who it is, go die! All of you die!” Arrogant laughter filled the room, making everyone feel a chill down their spine. The current Xiao Wushuang was truly terrifying.

“The one who should die is you!” Liu Rui shouted angrily, instantly rushing to Xiao Wushuang’s side, grabbing his collar, and delivering a punch to him. However, Xiao Wushuang, who was hit, still had a faint smile on his face. At this moment, he didn’t care about his own life and death. After all, exchanging one life for another, Xiao Wushuang now had nothing at all!

There’s an old saying that barefooted people aren’t afraid of those wearing shoes; perhaps this explains the logic here. Despite being beaten up again by Liu Rui, Xiao Wushuang kept smiling and looking at Liu Rui, entirely without the previous fear, because at this moment, Xiao Wushuang really had nothing left. Before, he had the backing of his sole family, but just now, his only family support had been completely shattered by Muyun.

Hence, Xiao Wushuang’s current frantic actions and ferocity emerged. But the body fatigue was palpable, and under Liu Rui’s persistent beating, Xiao Wushuang eventually fainted. Seeing this, Liu Rui finally stopped, but after finishing, Liu Rui didn’t feel any sense of relief; such a person, the more you beat him, the angrier you become.

At this moment, Muyun also fainted due to the unbearable pain, and it was only then that Xiao Yifei realized that the preceding events had caught him off guard. “Muyun!” Mu Feng, seeing Muyun collapse, immediately rushed forward and took Muyun into his arms, kneeling on the ground.

A pair of eyes that hadn’t shed tears for a long time finally became sorrowfully moist at this moment. “Muyun, my child, how could you suffer this much? It’s all my fault!” Mu Feng bawled uncontrollably, clearly afraid of this poisoning incident involving Muyun.

At this point, Xiao Yifei hurriedly walked to Muyun’s side and squatted down. After carefully examining, Xiao Yifei frantically instructed Mu Feng to move Muyun to the bed. Mu Feng dared not delay a moment, moving swiftly as if he’s a young man, quickly placing Xiao Yifei onto the bed.

“Miss Yan, could you please help me find Qianxi?” Xiao Yifei, while removing Muyun’s clothes, asked Yan Ruyu. Hearing this, Yan Ruyu was first taken aback, then ran out of the room. As for why Xiao Yifei wanted to find Qianxi, Yan Ruyu didn’t ask, understanding the gravity of the situation.

“Mr. Xiao, how is my Muyun?” Mu Feng asked anxiously while observing Xiao Yifei’s actions. Upon hearing Mu Feng’s inquiry, Xiao Yifei, sweating profusely, pressed down on the last acupoint and gravely said to Mu Feng, “City Lord Mu, Xiao Wushuang’s poison is quite complex, and its activation is alarmingly fast.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng’s heart sank as Xiao Yifei was certainly not overstating. Muyun’s entire face had turned black, especially the lips, as if the whole person could pass away at any moment. This was the situation that resulted from Xiao Yifei sealing several of Muyun’s critical acupoints, otherwise, the situation would be worse.

“Mr. Xiao, I beg you, you must save my Muyun.” Saying this, Mu Feng immediately knelt down, pleading with Xiao Yifei. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei hurriedly pulled Mu Feng up. This significant gesture of kneeling truly startled Xiao Yifei, but now Mu Feng surely put aside his identity, becoming just a child’s parent.

“City Lord Mu, what are you doing? Muyun became like this because of me, no matter what I would risk my life to pull Muyun back from the gates of hell,” Xiao Yifei’s words carried a hint of reproach as Mu Feng, listening, nodded apologetically.

Seeing Muyun’s complexion, Mu Feng felt a pain in his heart and then asked Xiao Yifei, “Mr. Xiao, what should we do now?” Mu Feng’s tone was anxious, but given the situation, anxiety was useless; he heard Xiao Yifei slowly explain, “I’ve sealed off several acupoints on Muyun; to cure him, we must immediately administer acupuncture.”

Hearing this, Mu Feng was puzzled, “Why not perform the acupuncture now? Muyun’s body can’t hold on for long.” Saying this, Mu Feng’s brow furrowed even more deeply.

After hearing Mu Feng say this, Xiao Yifei helplessly shook his head; he understood these things all too well, but to administer acupuncture on Muyun, he had to wait for a person. This person was Qianxi! Just when Xiao Yifei had such thoughts, someone suddenly rushed in from the door, and Yan Ruyu brought Qianxi panting into the room.

Seeing the scene before her, Qianxi puzzledly asked Xiao Yifei, “Why did you call me here?”

Why wait for Qianxi, Mu Feng was baffled about this point. However, since Xiao Yifei insisted, Mu Feng reasoned there must be a purpose behind it. Mu Feng did not ask further questions.

In fact, Xiao Yifei invited Qianxi mainly to prevent the poison’s spread. Before administering acupuncture, Xiao Yifei had to unlock Muyun’s crucial acupoints in his body, but this would allow the poison to spread to the heart through these acupoints; hence, someone needed to use True Qi to stop the poison.

Such matters required someone proficient in True Qi, yet Liu Rui also knew True Qi, so why not let Liu Rui help? It was because the time Xiao Yifei needed for acupuncture was considerably lengthy, Liu Rui’s cultivation couldn’t match Qianxi’s. If Liu Rui were to assist, he might not endure halfway.

At that point, if Xiao Yifei’s acupuncture was halfway through and Muyun’s poison attacked the heart, everything would be wasted. So, when Qianxi arrived so promptly, Xiao Yifei could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“Why did you call me here?” Seeing the scene before her, Qianxi frowned and began to speculate quietly. Upon hearing this, Mu Feng hurriedly pulled Qianxi over, “Mr. Xiao said he needed you.” Before saying more, Mu Feng grabbed Qianxi’s hands, which Qianxi promptly shook off.

On her face, there was no hint of favor for Mu Feng. Seeing this, Mu Feng realized his rudeness and hurriedly apologized. Xiao Yifei, standing by, ignored this and directly explained to Qianxi the reason for her presence.

After listening, Qianxi nodded, glanced at Muyun on the bed, sighed, and agreed to help. Upon seeing Qianxi agree, Mu Feng rejoiced immediately.

“City Lord Mu, Liu Rui, and Miss Yan, please step outside for now.” Saying this, Xiao Yifei managed to usher the others out, and upon hearing this, the three dared not delay, promptly leaving the room; Liu Rui also dragged Xiao Wushuang out.

“Tell me what to do?” Seeing everyone leave, Qianxi asked with a frown. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei stroked his chin, speaking slowly, “It’s simple, you just need to use your True Qi to help block the toxins inside Muyun’s body.” Hearing Xiao Yifei describe the process as simple, Qianxi chuckled, evidently feeling Xiao Yifei made it sound easy.

“Don’t be too complacent; my acupuncture takes quite some time, and I’ll need you to hold on for a while.” Seeing Qianxi be somewhat careless, Xiao Yifei hurriedly reminded. Upon hearing this, Qianxi nodded, signaling for Xiao Yifei not to worry. With Qianxi nodding, Xiao Yifei wasted no time, immediately retrieving the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle he had earlier snatched from Xiao Wushuang.
