Before she could speak again, she saw Old Man Liu's wife seize Xia Yanyu's wrist, and a jade ice silkworm drilled out from her sleeve, landing directly on Xia Yanyu's wrist.

As the ice silkworm clung to Xia Yanyu's wrist, she immediately felt a sharp pain, and her blood uncontrollably began to transfer into the body of the ice silkworm!

The icy blue silkworm gradually turned blood red, and as it drew blood from Xia Yanyu, she felt dizzy and almost fell over.

"Young lady, you better sit down."

Old Man Liu's wife withdrew the ice silkworm back into her sleeve, looked at the now pale-faced Xia Yanyu, and said, "Xu Fan was bitten by the Jade Toad, a matter that was originally life-threatening, but as the saying goes, a blessing in disguise."

The poison of the Jade Toad is licentious, but with the moderation of yin blood, it becomes a great tonic! For those who cultivate, it is a rare opportunity!

After saying this, Old Man Liu's wife pinched Xu Fan's mouth and sent the ice silkworm from her sleeve directly into his body!

"All right, this lad will be fine. In three to five days, once he has absorbed this energy, he should be able to wake up."

After speaking, Old Man Liu's wife turned to Xia Yanyu and said, "Now that we've gathered almost everything, young lady, I'll take a rest and then start removing your sister's Gu poison."

…

Xu Fan felt as if he had had a lengthy dream in which he was in a sea of flames, enduring the agony of being burned!

Not until a rainstorm of icy blue fell did the sea of flames get extinguished.

The sea of flames transformed into a cluster of flames inside his body, which took several days to refine before finally being extinguished.

With the help of this flame, he felt that his strength, previously halted at the half-step innate phase, had risen to the next level!

The strength within him grew more refined, and his inner breath was as vast as the sea!

Suddenly, he felt a tickle in his nose, and this sweet dream shattered into countless pieces!

Opening his eyes, he saw a beautiful face that seemed like a painting before him.

For a moment, Xu Fan's expression involuntarily became excited!

"Xiao Die! You're awake!"

He could hardly believe he was seeing this girl again; in his excitement, Xu Fan hugged Xia Xiao Die, finding himself at a loss for words.

Ever since Xia Xiao Die had fallen unconscious, his mood had been suppressed until now. Now that she had finally awakened, how could Xu Fan not be thrilled!

"Stop it! Xu Fan, you're hurting me!"

Xia Xiao Die pouted her lips, pushed Xu Fan away with a grieved expression, and said.

At this moment, she blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Xu Fan, asking, "Big fool, were you that afraid I wouldn't wake up?"

Xu Fan smiled bitterly and said, "What do you think?"

If not for him, she wouldn't have had to suffer through this trouble, and during this time, Xu Fan had been riddled with guilt; now that Xia Xiao Die had woken up, he felt somewhat relieved.

"Big fool, thank you for doing so much for me."

Over these days, Xu Fan had traveled almost the entire Huaxia for her. Xia Xiao Die was moved, and instinctively, she leaned in to kiss Xu Fan…

But before she could settle into Xu Fan's arms, a creaking noise from behind made Xia Xiao Die stand up hurriedly from the bed edge.

"Sis, you... why don't you knock when you come in..."

The one who came in was obviously her sister, Xia Yanyu, and seeing her holding a tray of food as if nothing was out of the ordinary, Xia Xiao Die breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed she hadn't noticed...

"Xiaodie, you've just recovered, didn't Senior Qu tell you? These days, you can't move around freely."

Xia Yanyu then brought the meals to the table, starting to scold.

Xia Xiaodie was well aware of her condition, but she really couldn't stop worrying about Xu Fan.

She stuck out her tongue and cooed, "Okay, sis, I know..."

"Then I'm heading back to my room now."

With a reluctant glance at Xu Fan, Xia Xiaodie obediently walked out of the room.

After seeing her sister out, Xia Yanyu closed the door and walked over to Xu Fan.

Even though Senior Qu had assured her that Xu Fan would be fine, seeing him lying unconscious on the bed these past few days had actually made Xia Yanyu very nervous.

She helped Xu Fan sit at the table and smiled, "Xu Fan, you haven't eaten in days, please eat something."

Xu Fan didn't rush to pick up the chopsticks but grasped Xia Yanyu's hand and smiled, "You've taken such good care of me these days."

Although he didn't know how long he had been unconscious, his cleanly washed body likely couldn't have been without Xia Yanyu's help.

"Stop it, let go..."

Xia Yanyu, seeing Xu Fan's mischievous gaze, felt a wave of shyness and struggled, trying to maintain a distance between them.

"Oh..."

Who knew that Xu Fan would sigh dejectedly and honestly let go of her hand.

This suddenly made Xia Yanyu anxious, wondering if she had reacted too strongly to his simple gesture of gratitude.

"Xu Fan, I'm sorry, I... I'm afraid..."

Xia Yanyu guiltily explained that she only maintained distance because she was afraid that her sister would discover the nature of her relationship with Xu Fan.

"Silly girl, I was just teasing you."

Seeing her worried expression, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh and hugged Xia Yanyu's delicate body.

In his embrace, Xia Yanyu gradually calmed down, and then, wrapping her arms around Xu Fan's waist, she said, "Xu Fan, I... I was really scared you wouldn't wake up..."

"I'm awake now, aren't I..."

Looking at Xu Fan's smiling face, Xia Yanyu's heart pounded wildly, and a bold idea popped into her head.

Knowing that once she left the room, she might never have a chance to be close to Xu Fan again, she boldly brought her lips close to his.

...

Meanwhile, Xia Xiaodie, who had stopped halfway, seemed to think of something and suddenly halted.

These days, her sister had indeed noticed Xu Fan's care for her. She wasn't a heartless person; could his attention have moved her?

Indeed, her marriage arrangement weighed heavily on the Xia Family, but if she allied with the present Xu Fan, perhaps it could be possible to cancel the engagement?

With that thought, Xia Xiaodie's heart started pounding excitedly.

Considering that her sister might be discussing her situation in Xu Fan's room at this moment, Xia Xiaodie nodded to herself. Turning her head, she quietly sneaked back toward Xu Fan's room...
