Chapter 2374 - 2409: Healing the Poison

Ding Fan must not die under any circumstances!

At this moment, Wang Zhongjian and the Patriarch of Mothman Clan, Er Li, have already perished. Now that Ding Fan holds the Barbarian Lands, soon, Ding Fan and the entire Herr Family are bound for a new beginning, reaching unprecedented heights.

Ding Fan is her most treasured person. How could Herr Ningshuang watch him die? If she transfers the poison to herself, she would have a century to dissolve it, offering a chance for survival, and surely Ding Fan would find a way to neutralize the poison.

Therefore, the decision to save him requires little deliberation. Herr Ningshuang quickly understood this. The reason she hesitated for a while was due to an underlying fear within her subconscious.

No matter how composed she is, she's still a young girl of eighteen. Regardless of whether she survives this time, she will spend decades alone in the ice. Her hands and feet won't be able to move, only her soul will be able to think.

In other words, she will become a vegetable, an apparent dead person, quietly living through those many years.

Anyone would be afraid of such a fate; people are innately selfish. Stirring slogans are one thing, but hesitation and instinctive refusal emerge when events hit one's own person.

Therefore, the fact that Herr Ningshuang could open her mouth and agree to save someone within just a few minutes evoked immense respect within Ye Li's heart. If this had happened to Ye Li, he would have hesitated for a long time, even though he would eventually choose to save Ding Fan.

"Alas…"

The Night Queen sighed softly, paused for a moment, and kneeled down on one knee, looking at Herr Ningshuang: "Forgive me, Goddess, for revealing the secret to the antidote. Those capable of understanding the Seduction Technique are far too few. I don't wish to miss this chance. Once frozen, you won't be disturbed by mundane affairs. To survive, your heart for cultivation will grow stronger, and the likelihood of comprehending the Fourth Level of the Seduction Technique will multiply. Only when the Goddess breaks through to the Fourth Level will you enable the Rakshasa Clan to regain its glory. The Night Queen is guilty; if the Goddess fails in her cultivation, I will follow where she goes."

The Night Queen indeed harbored her own thoughts, and Ye Li judged this accurately.

Ye Li pondered and coldly said: "Night Queen, if the poison our young master suffers from cannot be cured and Miss Ningshuang also gets poisoned, don't blame me for being ruthless and destroying your Rakshasa Clan."

The Night Queen nodded slightly and said: "There's no problem, I have clear ancestral records here, and the Goddess and Family Head Ye can freely inspect them."

"Let's go!"

Herr Ningshuang did not waste any more words. As long as it would help to detoxify Ding Fan, mastering each Fourth Level of the Seduction Technique to dispel the Godfall Poison posed no issues for her; she cared little about the remaining matters.

...

Everyone hurriedly set off, racing toward the direction of the Imperial City of the Rakshasa Clan. Along the way, the Night Queen used secret methods to send out messages, instructing the tribe to prepare certain items.

Two days later, the group reached the Imperial City of the Rakshasa Clan. The Rakshasa Elder held a scroll of Ancient Secret Technique, handing it over. This secret technique was recorded on a piece of beast hide looking aged; it appeared somewhat yellowed. Such an item could not be counterfeited, and Ye Li could instantly recognize it as authentic.

Both Ye Li and Herr Ningshuang understood the ancient language. They meticulously examined the beast hide and found no issues. Herr Ningshuang asked the Night Queen, "Where do we go for the antidote?"

Along the journey, Ding Fan woke up a few times, but each time he awoke, the pain was unbearable. Witnessing Ding Fan in such torment, Herr Ningshuang's heart nearly shattered. If it weren't necessary to reach the Rakshasa Clan's Imperial City for detoxification, Herr Ningshuang would have transferred the poison to herself on the road.

"We head to the nearby Rakshasa Snow Mountain."

The Night Queen pointed ahead, "There is a snow mountain up ahead. After the Goddess detoxifies Young Master Ding, we must immediately use the secret technique to freeze her. Otherwise, once the internal toxins spread, you will die in seven days."

The Night Queen retrieved a similarly yellowed beast hide from her bosom, handing it over, "Goddess, this is the method for transferring the poison. First, you must understand it. On this there are insights from ancestors practicing the Seduction Technique, you must remember them well. Once you are frozen, you will never awaken unless you comprehend the Fourth Level of the Seduction Technique Realm."

The Night Queen paused, continuing, "Goddess, confidently pursue the Fourth Level of the Seduction Technique. We'll use special methods to help supplement energy and ensure your body remains immortal. As long as you break free from the ice, your body will be just as young and beautiful as now."

Herr Ningshuang nodded, pondering little. Just like Ding Fan, once she decided, no force could pull her back. She quickly flipped through the beast hide given by the Night Queen, but her face soon reddened. After reading it for a while, she quietly asked, "Is this the only way to rid the Godfall Poison?"

The Night Queen nodded slightly, unable to elaborate further with Ye Li present. Herr Ningshuang blushingly glanced at Ding Fan, saying no more, and continued reading.

"It's almost time, let's head to the snow mountain." Herr Ningshuang glanced around for a moment, waved her hand, and said, "Is everything else ready?"

"It's ready!" The Night Queen nodded and said, "Matters concerning the Goddess are the most important to our Rakshasa Clan. How could we be even slightly careless?"

Herr Ningshuang glanced at Ye Li, soared into the air, and flew towards the snow mountain. The Night Queen, Ye Li, and the Rakshasa Elders quickly followed, along with dozens of Flying Rakshasas.

They flew a hundred miles north, seeing a large mountain ahead piercing the clouds. They flew to the top, where many Rakshasa guards were stationed, and there was even a newly built castle on the peak.

"Family Head Ye, please entrust Young Ding to me!"

The Night Queen stood behind the castle, looked at Ye Li, and said, "You should guard outside; going in would be quite inconvenient for you."

Ye Li remembered Herr Ningshuang's embarrassed expression earlier and understood a bit. He then threatenedly looked at the Night Queen and said, "Night Queen, I hope you don't deceive me; otherwise, you know what the consequences will be."

The Night Queen nodded, cradled Ding Fan, and went inside. Herr Ningshuang quickly followed, and the Rakshasa Elders finally shut the castle's doors.

Cold!

Upon entering the castle, a gust of cold wind hit, causing even Herr Ningshuang at her current Realm to shiver. The Night Queen explained, "There's a large Array within this castle that gathers Cold Qi from the snow mountain; otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to form glaciers to freeze you."

The castle wasn't large, having only a hall and another room. The Rakshasa Elder opened the room, revealing a world of ice. The walls were frozen, and the large bed was covered in ice, making the entire room feel very cold.

The Night Queen laid Herr Ningshuang flat on the bed, fed her two Pills, and then said, "Goddess, I gave Young Ding a specially made Pill; shortly, there will be a reaction, but he won't wake. You need only follow the secret technique, and we can handle the rest if... if you're scared, we can stay with you."

"No need, you can guard outside now. Once I'm done, I'll call you."

The room was very cold, but Herr Ningshuang's complexion turned rosier. The so-called transfer of poison wasn't done orally but absorbed through a woman's special body structure. When the two were together in love, Herr Ningshuang employed the Seduction Technique to draw the poison from Ding Fan into herself.

"Sigh..."

Herr Ningshuang felt a bit regretful; a woman's first time is often very important to her. She had once imagined a romantic scene, cared for and tenderly loved by Ding Fan.

But unexpectedly, it was in such an environment, and Ding Fan wasn't even aware, everything had to be initiated by Herr Ningshuang herself.

Most importantly, after she and Ding Fan finish, she will enter a long-term sleep state, her eyes will never open again, she will no longer see the beautiful world, her sister Rufeng, Madame Yan, and all the members of the Herr Family.

If merely frozen, it'd be tolerable, but her soul remains conscious. She's about to drift through an exceedingly long time in a pitch-dark cage, uncertain if she can persist, afraid she might go mad, or possibly never wake again.

"Let Family Head Ye tell my aunt and Uncle Qianjun, I can't fulfill my filial duties anymore, please forgive my selfishness."

"Tell my sister not to act recklessly anymore, to learn to handle matters wisely, to bear more family responsibilities for our aunt, strive to cultivate, and revive the Herr Family's glory."

"When Ding Fan wakes, tell him not to worry about me, that I will definitely master the Fourth Level of the Seduction Technique. If he dares to act recklessly, I'll self-destruct my soul and die. Tell him... I love him. Meeting him is the luckiest event of my life; if I cannot be his wife, let us meet again in our next life."

After Herr Ningshuang entrusted these matters, she called the Night Queen to bring her a basin of warm water, then let them guard outside. She began shyly helping Ding Fan undress, cleaning him with the warm water.

Bursts of Cold Qi came through, turning the warm water cold quickly. Mist filled the room, making the scenery dim; Herr Ningshuang's face blushed red as she carefully helped Ding Fan wipe his body without missing any spot, as if a wife were cleaning her paralyzed husband.

Ding Fan's body was stripped naked; it's unclear what medication the Night Queen had given him, but his muscles no longer twitched, no longer showing colors, seeming as if he had just fallen asleep, sleeping very peacefully.
