Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 399 Xiao Jiang: Did you give it to me? If you did!
Xiao Xie seemed to have guessed something as well, and nodded obediently, saying, "I'll do whatever you say, Brother Huai Ge... but... how exactly do I do it?"

Duan Huaige pondered for a moment, then suddenly released the little demon king Jiang Xiyu from his grasp, letting her rush into his arms. The little glutton Jiang Xiyu couldn't wait to start looking for spiritual roots, but Duan Huaige cupped her face and kissed her lips.

"Well…"

Jiang Xiyu felt a little lightheaded from the kiss, and her emotions calmed down considerably. Taking advantage of the kiss, Duan Huaige used his internal energy to absorb some of the excess medicinal power from the girl's body into his own.

At this moment, he could not refine the medicinal power on the spot. He could only carefully protect the medicinal power. Then he released Xiao Jiang's mouth, turned his head and kissed Xiao Xie, transferring the absorbed medicinal power to Xie Cangling.

Duan Huaige does not produce medicinal power; he is merely a conduit for it.

Xiao Xie's paleness seemed to have eased a little, but the solemnity in Duan Huaige's eyes did not diminish at all—because he soon discovered that although this method of absorbing and transferring was effective, the energy expenditure in the process was too great.

Especially during the process of transferring the medicine to Xiao Xie, the loss of medicinal power is greatly increased because the medicinal power needs to be transferred out again! As a result, even if Xiao Jiang's medicinal power is absorbed and balanced, Xiao Xie's side is still lacking a lot of yang energy.

"No... Cangling, this is too much of a drain... We need to think of another way..." Their lips parted, and Duan Huaige spoke, slightly out of breath. A crystalline silver thread formed and then broke between them.

Green Tea Xie said gently, "Hmm... that really won't work... the only way is to keep the medicine's effects contained within the body..."

As she spoke, she slowly extended her hand, her eyes gentle yet encouraging, saying, "Brother Huaige... this is the only way right now..."

Duan Huaige shuddered. The words of refusal were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't bring himself to say them. He knew perfectly well how much Miss Cang Ling felt for him... So...

“Cangling…”

"Brother Huaige, I don't regret it... I like you, but I know I'm destined not to be with you... So I just want to leave behind some memories of you before you drive me away..."

"Is it... okay?"

As he spoke, Xiao Xie's brows furrowed again, seemingly tormented even more by the drug's effects. His lips turned bluish-purple, indicating he was severely affected by the Nine Nether Lotus's medicinal properties. On the other side, Xiao Jiang also let out a painful groan. Having said all that, Duan Huaige was moved to tears; how could he possibly refuse? Both Xiao Jiang and Xiao Xie were suffering terribly from the drug's effects, and any further hesitation would be risking their safety!
"Cangling... I'm sorry..."

"Brother Huaige... I'm not afraid..." Xie Cangling's eyes welled up with tears, and she spoke with a happy smile, "As long as you're with me, I'm not afraid of anything..."

"Brother Huai Ge..."

Green Tea Xiao Xie frowned, but her expression was one of pure bliss.

If we were to slice this scene: the top part is brimming with the pure love of childhood sweethearts; the other side... This utterly jarring scene would leave even Yan Qiuxi speechless with shock, only able to utter a single word after a long while:
It's outrageous!
No wonder she's the kind of genius who can come up with a life-saving antidote for two people! Is Duan Huaige just too amazing, or did Little Jiang's turtle-like nature suddenly explode? What was supposed to be a scenario where the 100-ton king was drifting up and down turned into her being a side dish.

Jiang Xiyu: It's not that I'm too incompetent, it's just that my best friend is too cunning!

To be honest, Little Jiang the Great Demon King had already gone all out this time. The timing and atmosphere were just right. If Xie Cangling hadn't reminded him, Duan Huaige would probably have already prepared to drift up and down like the Hundred-Ton King.

It was precisely that one crucial sentence from Xiao Xie that successfully swayed Duan Huaige's thinking, shifting his focus from how to use Yin-Yang harmony to save the two of them, to how to achieve a state of Yin-Yang harmony between Xie Cangling and Jiang Xiyu.

As the effects of the medicine combined and her body calmed down, Xiao Jiang, the Great Demon King, gradually regained consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself kneeling on the bed kissing Duan Huaige, whose hands were quite sensibly placed where they should be.

"It's done!" Jiang Xiyu thought to herself with secret joy, but on her face she still pretended to be confused, shy and at a loss.

As expected of my best friend's plan, she actually tricked Xiao Duan! Qin Shuangjiang, you never thought you'd get into this mess, did you? Now let's see how arrogant you can be!!
Look at Xiao Duan, still not saying a word... Hmph, do you like me that much...?

Little Jiang, the Great Demon King, was extremely smug, but gradually... she seemed to realize something was wrong...
