Ye Xiao walked out of the room, feeling exceptionally excited!

Seeing Ye Xiao's expression, Zhou Hao was very surprised and asked tentatively, "Brother Xiao, how did the modifications go?"

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Of course, it's done. Otherwise, wouldn't that one and a half hour have let Yuyan suffer in vain?"

Ye Xiao immediately hurried to Zhou Yuyan's side, but seeing that the cold poison had once again overwhelmed her, Zhou Yuyan's beautiful face had turned ugly again, twisting Ye Xiao's heart like a knife!

Ye Xiao walked up to Zhou Yuyan, quickly infusing his Nine Yang True Qi into her, suppressing the cold poison in her body once more. In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yuyan's condition eased!

Then, Ye Xiao turned to Zhou Hao and Ling Shuya and said, "The mental method has been modified. The new method is called 'Gathering Yang Xuan Fire Skill'. This internal cultivation method should now be considered mid Xuan Rank, though it only includes the first four cultivation techniques. But, I think this should be enough to suppress the cold poison in Yuyan's body!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhou Hao felt very joyful inside. A mid Xuan Rank internal cultivation method was definitely an excellent mental method; his sister really had a chance of being saved!

However, everyone soon faced a very staunch and difficult problem, that was, Zhou Yuyan had been in a coma all this time, how could she possibly cultivate in such a condition? Furthermore, cultivating internal methods required calmness and composure, and with Zhou Yuyan's unclear divine sense, cultivating the technique would be difficult!

Just then, Ling Shuya suddenly waved Ye Xiao over and said, "Ye Xiao, come here for a moment!"

Ye Xiao was puzzled, wondering what mischief the girl was up to.

Nevertheless, Ye Xiao followed Ling Shuya to her room, and she promptly pulled Ye Xiao in and shut the door behind them.

"What are you doing? We should be thinking about saving Yuyan right now!" Ye Xiao said to Ling Shuya.

Ling Shuya replied, "I know, I just want to ask you a question, and you must answer truthfully."

Ye Xiao was anxious. After all, the cultivation technique was already modified and after much scrutiny by Ye Xiao, there shouldn't be any flaws. Right now, he just wanted to figure out how to help Zhou Yuyan grasp the mental method!

"What question? Just ask, hurry up!"

Ling Shuya said, "Last time you mentioned that dual cultivation could quickly enhance one's strength. Is that true?"

Dual cultivation?

Ye Xiao was slightly startled. Why would Ling Shuya suddenly bring up dual cultivation? Could it be that at this time, she actually wanted to... with him?

Ye Xiao scratched his head and said, "Shuya, can we wait a bit, please? Yuyan's life is hanging by a thread. If we start dual cultivating here, Yuyan might die before we even finish!"

"Would it heal her if you and Yuyan cultivated together?"

"That..."

"Just tell me if it would!"

"It would!"

"Okay, I understand."

Ling Shuya left the room and looked towards Zhou Hao, saying, "Zhou Hao, come here!"

Zhou Hao, not knowing what was going on, looked confusedly at Ling Shuya, then at Ye Xiao, who was deeply furrowing his brow.

Zhou Hao thought something might have happened to his sister, so he turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Boss, Yuyan is alright, right?"

Ye Xiao did not speak, but Ling Shuya said, "Zhou Hao, if you want Yuyan to be fully recovered, come over!"

Although Zhou Hao was very puzzled, for his sister's recovery, he still went over to Ling Shuya!

Ye Xiao had already guessed Ling Shuya's thoughts.

After Ling Shuya spoke with Zhou Hao for a while, Zhou Hao initially furrowed his brow, but eventually, he began nodding frequently to Ling Shuya's words.

"You understand everything now, how to choose is up to you!" Ling Shuya seemed somewhat helpless.

"Boss!" Zhou Hao walked over to Ye Xiao, looking at him.

Ye Xiao, seeing Zhou Hao's expression, knew that Ling Shuya had successfully convinced Zhou Hao.

"Boss, as long as it can save Yuyan, anything is fine. I've also heard the elders talk about this. Your strength is great, and cultivating together with my sister would greatly benefit her. So, Boss, don't push it away, and besides, I'll never hold you accountable in the future!" Zhou Hao seemed to have grasped at the last straw to save Zhou Yuyan; how could he let go?

Ye Xiao felt quite troubled. Zhou Yuyan was Zhou Hao's sister, and by duty, Ye Xiao was obliged to help, but now the issue was not that Ye Xiao didn't want to save her, but that the method of saving her was...

Ye Xiao looked at Zhou Yuyan and murmured, "This really is an excellent method, and the Inner Strength I cultivate is indeed the most yang and strong, but you should understand, if Yuyan wakes up and finds out about all this, what then? Wouldn't I, Ye Xiao, become a despicable scoundrel?"

"Is your reputation more important, or Yuyan's life? Ye Xiao, you are too selfish!" Ling Shuya blurted out in anger upon hearing Ye Xiao's words.

Ye Xiao glanced at Ling Shuya and offered no defense.

But just then, thump!

Ye Xiao immediately turned around and saw Zhou Hao kneeling before him, with pleading eyes.

"Boss, please save Yuyan, she cannot die!"

Inside the room,

Ye Xiao did what every man wished to do, and also what he least wanted to do.

And that result directly led to, Zhou Yuyan's body returning to normal, no longer cold and stiff!

At that moment, the cold poison inside Zhou Yuyan's body was completely removed!

However, Ye Xiao felt guilty about the whole situation!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuyan gave a slight smile and said, "What's said is said, what's the use of hiding things now!"

Ye Xiao suddenly realized that all his prior worries seemed unnecessary because Zhou Yuyan was clearly a reasonable person!

Ye Xiao said, "Your Martial Arts Realm seems to have reached the Yellow Rank Middle Stage!"

Zhou Yuyan said, "Thank you!"

"Thank me?" When Ye Xiao heard Zhou Yuyan's words, he immediately said, "As long as you don't blame me, that's fine. I acted without your permission..."

"In fact, while I was stiff in the living room of the villa, I could hear you guys talking clearly. If it wasn't for my brother kneeling and begging you, you probably wouldn't have saved me!" Zhou Yuyan said.

Ye Xiao quickly said, "I definitely intended to save you and had tried every possible way, but..."

"But the only method that would have worked was Dual Cultivation, and you were afraid I'd hold you responsible, right?" Zhou Yuyan glared at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao responded, "That's not it. Taking responsibility is a minor thing; I was mainly worried about making you feel wronged!"

"You must have said the same to Shuya before, didn't you?" Zhou Yuyan said.

Ye Xiao was slightly startled, clearly surprised that Zhou Yuyan knew about him and Ling Shuya!

Zhou Yuyan chuckled and said, "Shuya and I are sisters. She would, of course, tell me everything. But honestly, I never expected that to save me, Shuya would give up the man she liked. Thinking about it now, I really feel somewhat guilty. However, I'm not going to fight with her for him. Also, Ye Xiao, you better forget about what happened today, or else, I will castrate you!"

Ye Xiao then understood that Zhou Yuyan knew everything, and even his previous struggles outside, she probably had been aware of!

"Castrate me?" Ye Xiao felt much more relaxed now, and with Zhou Yuyan speaking so casually, he was no longer tense. He looked at Zhou Yuyan and said, "Don't you want that one hour back?"

With those words from Ye Xiao, Zhou Yuyan's face flushed red. Clearly, Zhou Yuyan understood his words the best because she vividly remembered their recent Cultivation session together!

"You... Don't think about it anymore!" Zhou Yuyan glared at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but chuckle softly. Then he got fully dressed and headed outside.

"Where are you going?"

"Of course, to tell them both that you're alright now!" Ye Xiao said to Zhou Yuyan.

Then Zhou Yuyan stopped talking.

Ye Xiao knew Zhou Yuyan felt somewhat embarrassed; however, Ling Shuya and Zhou Hao might have been anxious waiting outside, so he felt it was best to let them know.

After the Dual Cultivation session, Ye Xiao also felt good because he could distinctly feel that his Nine Yang True Qi had increased somewhat. Although it wasn't much, the effectiveness of that one hour surpassed the usual ten hours of cultivation!

In the past, Ye Xiao only looked forward to Dual Cultivation, but never really knew its benefits. But now he finally understood that Dual Cultivation was highly beneficial for Inner Strength training. It was significantly more effective than when he cultivated alone. It seemed he should engage more often in Dual Cultivation. Ye Xiao thought Ling Shuya should also do it as it could help her quickly enhance her strength. Indeed, for Ling Shuya's sake, he should do it more.

Zhou Hao and Ling Shuya were sitting in the living room in silence, but both had an anxious expression.

Both of them really wanted to know Zhou Yuyan's current state, whether there was any improvement or not.

Whether Dual Cultivation was the best method, they were really not sure as they hadn't tried it themselves.

Just as they were anxiously waiting, suddenly, the door to Ye Xiao's room opened.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhou Hao and Ling Shuya instinctively turned their heads and saw Ye Xiao coming out of the room.

"Ye Xiao."

"Boss."

Zhou Hao and Ling Shuya immediately got up from the sofa and hurried over to Ye Xiao.

"Boss, how is Yuyan doing?" Zhou Hao was the most worried since she was his only younger sister.

Ling Shuya also asked, "Ye Xiao, speak up, how is she?"

Ye Xiao looked at Zhou Hao and then at Ling Shuya, and seriously said, "The cold poison has been suppressed. As long as she can continue to cultivate the Gathering Yang Xuan Fire Skill, there should be no issues. Yes, she's normal now."

Recovered as usual.

This clearly meant that she was already healed.

Zhou Hao immediately headed for the room; however, Ye Xiao stopped him.

Zhou Hao looked puzzledly at Ye Xiao, seemingly unsure why Ye Xiao was holding him back.

"Yuyan isn't dressed yet; it's not appropriate for you to go in," Ye Xiao said after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhou Hao also realized he might have been too hasty, while Ling Shuya immediately entered the room and then closed the door behind her.

Ye Xiao and Zhou Hao walked to the sofa and sat down.
