Chapter 889: This All What Matters

Mi Li hesitated, looking at the expectant gaze of the other person. She pulled out a porcelain bottle from Zu An’s arms and said, "Take this medicine?"

"What is this?" At such a critical moment for saving a life, Bi Linglong didn't doubt it. She picked up the bottle and prepared to drink.

"This medicine is called 'Bull's Milk,' and it's a potent... aphrodisiac," Mi Li explained.

Zu An had previously confiscated three similar medicines from various villains. One of the other two was called "Eighteen Degrees of Spring Breeze," but it was clearly unsuitable for this situation, fearing she wouldn't be able to withstand it. It wasn't that Bi Linglong couldn't endure it, but that the current Zu An couldn't.

The other medicine was called "Forget-Worry Water," which would make one forget the memories of that period after the event, and that was clearly unnecessary here.

Hearing her words, Bi Linglong's hand, which was moving towards her mouth, stiffened. Then she stared at Mi Li, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Mi Li explained, "Zu An's cultivation method is special. It can not only temper the body but also save lives through the harmonious union of yin and yang. The first half of the scripture can save others' lives through yin-yang interaction, while the second half can save one's own life through yin-yang interaction."

What Ying Zheng had left unsaid when he departed earlier was that he had taught Zu An the second half of the "Grand Genesis Scripture," and this was clearly what he meant.

Although Bi Linglong was a young woman, as the Crown Princess, her family and even the palace governesses had already taught her similar knowledge, so she naturally knew what yin-yang interaction meant.

Her face was so red it seemed about to bleed. "How can there be such... such a strange and sinister cultivation method in this world?"

"The world is vast and full of wonders. This technique has the power to create and nurture life; it's not some evil art," Mi Li said. She picked up the dropped medicine bottle and considered simply forcing the medicine down her throat.

From her perspective, she didn't care about whether Bi Linglong was the Crown Princess or not; as long as it could save Zu An's life, she would do anything.

Bi Linglong bit her lip tightly, her chest heaving rapidly, clearly engaged in an intense internal struggle.

Seeing Mi Li offer the medicine again, a flicker of shame and anger crossed her eyes, but she still shook her head. "I don't need this medicine."

She looked at Zu An, a hint of tenderness in her eyes. "A'Zu, you've saved me so many times; it's my turn to save you now." With that, she slowly began to untie her belt.

Mi Li was stunned and withdrew the hand she had placed behind Bi Linglong. Since the girl was willing, that was even better.

But then again, this guy was usually so frivolous and seemed to invite a beating; how did so many beautiful girls fall for him?

Noticing Zu An's precarious condition, Bi Linglong dared not delay. Her clothes were already off, revealing her delicate collarbones and smooth, fragrant shoulders. Suddenly, she thought of something and, blushing, looked at Mi Li. "Master, could you... could you not be here?"

Although she was willing to sacrifice herself to save him, she was still an innocent maiden. This kind of matter was already incredibly shameful, and if someone were watching, she felt she would die of embarrassment just thinking about it.

Mi Li thought to herself, *It's not like I haven't seen this before.* She recalled how she had been inseparable from Zu An during this period, witnessing him being intimate with his confidantes on several occasions, so she was already accustomed to it.

*Oh right, how many has it been? One, two, three...*

*Hmph, he truly is a big philanderer!*

She cursed silently but didn't make things difficult for the young woman. She nodded, turned, and walked several paces away. "I'll be right here. Let me know immediately if anything changes."

Although she could choose not to watch, she didn't dare go too far, or else any unexpected incident would be troublesome.

Bi Linglong's heart pounded. She actually wanted the other person to be much farther away, but since Mi Li had said that, she couldn't say anything more. Fortunately, Mi Li had her back to them and shouldn't be able to see...

She gently caressed Zu An's face, memories of their acquaintance flashing through her mind, especially everything that had happened in the secret realm recently. She suddenly smiled sweetly, as if she had come to a realization. Her previous nervousness vanished, replaced by a sense of determination.

"A'Zu, I like you..." she whispered into Zu An's ear, as if afraid Mi Li, who was far away, would hear her.

Seeing him look like a shattered piece of porcelain, with more and more cracks appearing on his body, she dared not delay any further. She hastily shed her luxurious gown and tightly embraced him with her warm, delicate body.

A moment later, Mi Li suddenly heard a wronged voice, "Master, could... could you come over for a moment?"

Mi Li was a little surprised. Why was this young woman calling her over at a time like this?

However, remembering Zu An's condition, she dared not delay. With a flicker of her figure, she appeared beside them.

The moment she stood still, her eyes narrowed. She saw Bi Linglong lightly clutching her dress to cover her chest, but this only made her fair, delicate body even more alluring. Even Mi Li, who had such high standards, had to admit Bi Linglong's beauty.

*As for Zu An, well, he certainly has good taste.*

She cleared her throat, composed her thoughts, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I... I... He... he..." Bi Linglong opened her mouth, the blush on her face making it hard to tell if it was from urgency or shame. For a moment, she stammered, unsure how to explain the current situation.

Although Mi Li hadn't experienced it herself, she had received various royal educations back in the day. Especially recently, being constantly by Zu An's side, she had witnessed countless "live broadcasts," so she immediately understood what had happened with just a glance.

It turned out that Zu An was in a semi-conscious state at this moment, and with his body gradually collapsing, some of his bodily functions didn't seem to react strongly to even slight stimulation as they normally would.

From the scene, it seemed Bi Linglong had made considerable efforts. As the Crown Princess, the governesses must have taught her these matters before she entered the palace.

Mi Li couldn't help but want to laugh. Zu An was usually most confident about this aspect; who would have thought he'd have a day like this?

However, she immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. If they delayed any longer, Zu An might truly turn to dust.

But how could anyone else help with something like this?

Bi Linglong clearly realized this too, her face full of worry.

Mi Li's expression flickered between solemnity and resolve. Finally, as if making up her mind, she said, "I have a way. Wait a moment."

Then, to Bi Linglong's astonished gaze, she transformed into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into Zu An's body.

Soon, Zu An opened his eyes. However, compared to his usual nonchalant demeanor, his gaze now seemed to hold a hint of... charm?

At this moment, it was naturally Mi Li controlling Zu An's body. The two had long ago signed a soul contract, and coupled with their long-term proximity, their souls were imbued with each other's aura, so Zu An's body didn't reject her too much.

As Mi Li entered Zu An's body, she immediately felt piercing pain; her entire body ached, and her head felt as if it would explode.

She wondered how this guy managed to endure such agony.

She dared not delay, quickly deploying her power to help Zu An stabilize his physical injuries. With her remarkable cultivation, Zu An's crumbling body quickly began to stabilize.

However, she knew this was only temporary; her soul power was limited, and once it was depleted, he would still die.

Therefore, she wasted no time and reached out to pull Bi Linglong into an embrace.

Bi Linglong immediately realized what was happening and instinctively showed some resistance. "You..."

"Don't worry, I'm just giving him a hand," Zu An said, but it was Mi Li's voice that came out.

Bi Linglong was so embarrassed she wished she could sink into the ground. What kind of situation was this?

Mi Li also found the situation utterly bizarre. Suppressing her discomfort, she leaned in and kissed Bi Linglong.

After a while, Mi Li's soul body fled from Zu An's body as if in escape, running off into the distance without looking back. "The rest is up to you."

Bi Linglong noticed a flush of crimson and wondered, *Do soul bodies also blush?*

However, she had no time to think about other matters now, as they had reached the critical moment.

She could clearly hear her own heartbeat, but she still tried to gently embrace Zu An into her arms.

Her delicate brows were tightly furrowed, and tears welled up. After all, she was still an innocent maiden.

Before she could say anything, the semi-conscious Zu An cried out first, "It hurts!"

Bi Linglong: "..."

Mi Li in the distance: "..."
