……

The heavy doors of the emergency room slowly opened, and Ye Xiuxin's slightly tired figure appeared in the doorway.

The crowd that had been waiting outside for a long time, including anxious family members, worried imperial physicians, and high-ranking officials of the empire, immediately swarmed around as if they had found their pillar of support.

"Lord Ye!"

"Sister-in-law!"

"What's the situation?!"

Ye Xiuxin raised her hand to signal everyone to calm down and explained calmly, "Everyone, the situation has stabilized for the time being. I have used the family's secret medicine, 'Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Dew,' to temporarily control the curse."

"The blood curses within the four lords are of extremely high rank, exceptionally vicious and insidious. Their danger lies in their ability to slowly and actively absorb and transform external life energy and soul power for healing, thereby strengthening themselves and accelerating their erosion."

"This is why the excellent methods previously used by the imperial physicians, such as herbal medicine, soul skills, and even the 'Heart-Protecting and Life-Sustaining Powder,' were not only ineffective but also accelerated the deterioration of the condition—the healing energy inputted all became nourishment for that curse."

Her words made the faces of the imperial physicians who had participated in the treatment turn extremely ugly. Some lowered their heads in shame, while others showed expressions of realization and frustration. Clearly, some of them had vaguely sensed the abnormality of the energy being absorbed in reverse, but were unable to make a precise diagnosis or solve the problem.

"Hmph! Why didn't you do this sooner! You almost caused disaster..." A relative of Thunder Douluo couldn't help but complain.

"Shut up!" Prince Xue Jiqing's face darkened, and his authoritative voice instantly suppressed the commotion. "If it weren't for the imperial physicians' efforts to buy time and allow Xiuxin to arrive in time to temporarily suppress the curse with the 'Nine Revolutions Rejuvenating Dew,' the situation would be even worse. It's all because Azmonk's curse was too bizarre and insidious."

After being reprimanded by the prince, the family member dared not say anything more and simply covered his face.

Upon hearing this, the imperial physicians, though filled with resentment, could only manage a wry smile and a sigh.

The prince's words were true; they were indeed outmatched and failed to see through the strange nature of the curse.

“Lord Ye,” an elderly imperial physician asked, bowing, “since you have temporarily suppressed the curse with the secret medicine ‘Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Dew,’ do you... have a way to completely remove this cold and evil poison?”

All eyes were once again focused on Ye Xiuxin.

Ye Xiuxin paused for a moment, seemingly considering her words, before slowly speaking: "There is indeed a method that might be feasible. This method is not a traditional way to break the curse (or detoxify), but rather to forcibly erode the foundation of the curse with powerful 'counteracting' and 'neutralizing' forces. However..."

Her tone became unusually solemn: "This method is extremely fierce and domineering, requiring a very high level of control from the caster, and is a huge test of the recipient's cultivation, physique, and willpower."

"If you are not careful during the process, the power of the curse will backfire, or the opposing power will go out of control. At best, your foundation will be severely damaged and your martial spirit will be damaged. At worst, your soul will be scattered and you will die on the spot."

These words plunged the emergency room into a deathly silence once more; you could hear a pin drop. The words "death" struck a heavy blow to everyone's hearts.

Ye Xiuxin glanced around: "Please consider this carefully! Or... if you can find a better doctor, perhaps there is another solution."

Her words sent a chill down the spines of the family members, who immediately began whispering and discussing amongst themselves, a sense of hesitation and panic filling the air. Just then, the tall and imposing old man, Shi Yuanyuan's father, the true pillar of the Xuanwu Shi family, the old Xuanwu Douluo Shi Wen'an, stepped forward from the crowd.

His hair and beard were all white, his face was square, his brow bones were high, and his deep eyes revealed a resolute determination that had been through many hardships.

He said to Ye Xiuxin, "Xiuxin, don't even mention asking others. The best doctors in the empire are all here."

“Apart from your father Ye Chenzhi, that old fellow, who is far away in Silas and can't be of any use, who in the world is more skilled than you in the art of medicine? Even if he came, it would be too late.”

"We're not blind yet; we still have some knowledge. Time is of the essence, so we have no choice but to entrust their lives to you! Please!"

The crowd nodded in agreement, their panic subsided, and voices of support arose.

Zuo Tinggang frowned and immediately asked, "Xiuxin, you just said that you used a secret medicine to temporarily suppress the curse. When will this suppression relapse? How long can it last?"

Ye Xiuxin quickly gave a clear answer: "I can't determine a specific time; it varies from person to person. Maybe one day, maybe two, but at most three days! The longer it drags on, the more unimaginable the consequences will be!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jixiang could no longer contain himself and asked in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law Ye! If we use your method to save people, what are the chances of success?!"

Ye Xiuxin took a deep breath and frankly told everyone: "To be honest, I have only done theoretical deduction and preliminary verification of this method, and I have never practiced it on real people, especially on titled Douluo."

"Therefore, the chance of success is at most 30%! This is not only because the effectiveness is still unknown, but also because the method itself is extremely domineering and fierce. Your Majesties' current physical condition may not be able to withstand the terrible impact of the counterattack."

She paused briefly, then emphasized, "There is another crucial point: the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Dew only temporarily suppresses the curse, like building a dam to stop a flood and buy time; it cannot eliminate the root of the curse."

"The longer this drags on, the deeper and more irreversible the curse's erosion and damage to the body's foundation will become. Once the suppression fails, the curse will retaliate, and the consequences will be a hundred times more dangerous than they are now!"

"hiss……"

Ye Xiuxin's words sent chills down everyone's spines.

With a 30% chance of success, the risk of death, and the ongoing countdown of the curse's destruction, the pressure is overwhelming, like a landslide or a tsunami.

A glint flashed in the eyes of the old Douluo Shi Wen'an, and he said decisively, "Thirty percent?! Thirty percent is enough. Xiuxin, go ahead and do as you please!"

"My Yuanyuan may not boast about other skills, but when it comes to being tough and resilient, he inherited it from me!"

"His physique is alright... It's fine! Life and death are in the hands of fate! If he can't withstand it, it's the fate of my Xuanwu clan, and I will have no complaints! Treat him!"

"Not bad physique?" Zuo Tinggang's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Who in the world doesn't know that you old turtles are masters of health preservation, feigning death, and enduring beatings? Few can match your defense and vitality! You call that not bad? That's freakish!"
Immediately afterward, Ji Hongyan, the father of Ji Xiang and the third younger brother of Ji Hongming, stepped forward.

He was dressed in an elegant sky-blue long gown, with a handsome and refined face, a gentle and reserved temperament, and was about sixty years old with graying temples. He possessed the calm and peaceful demeanor unique to people from scholarly families.

He bowed deeply to Ye Xiuxin and said calmly, "Xiuxin, I entrust my second brother to you. Just as Elder Shi said, if... if I really cannot escape this calamity, it is fate that cannot be defied and cannot be forced by human power."

Even though losing a titled Douluo is an unbearable pain for these twenty-four prestigious families, their family foundations remain intact.
