Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1577 - 362: Blood Devouring Poison and Heaven and Earth Transposition (Part 3)

What?

Chen Jie appeared completely puzzled—where had his Gang Qi vanished to?

Suddenly, a voice rang out from beyond the door: “Feeling secretly delighted now that you've noticed your Gang Qi has disappeared?”

Upon catching that sound, Chen Jie whipped his head toward the entrance, spotting an attractive young woman holding a brown paper sack as she entered and casually dropped onto the spot next to him.

Without a word to Chen Jie about sharing, she grabbed a bun from the bag and chomped down heartily.

Gazing upon the attractive girl, Chen Jie experienced a strange feeling of recognition, like they'd crossed paths in the past.

Narrowing his eyes, Chen Jie stared at the attractive girl and questioned, “What exactly are you implying?”

The attractive girl answered, “Just what it sounds like.”

Upon hearing that, Chen Jie turned to the attractive girl and inquired, “Do we have some kind of grudge? Why are your words so cutting? Hold on, that voice of yours rings a bell.”

Right after uttering those words, Chen Jie abruptly opened his eyes wide toward the attractive girl and stammered, “You, you...”

The attractive girl munched on her bun again and remarked, “Recognized me at last, huh?”

“How did you turn so beautiful all of a sudden? Whatever became of that huge, hideous scar across your face?”

Chen Jie pointed toward the attractive girl, and she shot back, “You seriously believe the granddaughter of Yushan Shangren would end up as some plain-looking woman?”

Chen Jie stood there dumbfounded, while the attractive girl continued, “Are you truly that oblivious, or just acting? Given Yushan Shangren’s standing, even if I started out ugly, my grandfather had countless methods to enhance my looks. No way would I parade around bearing a massive scar...”

“Hang on, that scar of yours doesn't resemble a human skin mask at all.”

Chen Jie wasn't naive; he could discern that the scar on the attractive girl’s face stood apart from typical fakes. In fact, he'd tested it himself—the massive mark mimicked genuine skin perfectly, ruling out any human skin mask or Disguise Technique.

The attractive girl caught Chen Jie's words and chuckled, “Hah, you're still in the dark about so much.”

She quickly moved past the subject, brushing off Chen Jie's inquisitive gaze, though at that instant, Chen Jie grew far more intrigued by the disappearance of his Gang Qi.

As he eyed the attractive girl, she appeared to read his mind and commented, “Wondering why your Gang Qi won't respond?”

Chen Jie kept quiet, prompting the attractive girl to add, “Check it out yourself. The Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique is truly remarkable. Despite getting hit with the Blood Devouring Poison, it managed to aid your recovery—it's no wonder it's hailed as a legendary technique.”

Listening to her, Chen Jie regarded the attractive girl wordlessly, shut his eyes, and sensed the flow of Gang Qi inside his body. Abruptly, his eyes flew open in shock.

Deep within Chen Jie’s dantian lay various energies intertwined tightly.

With a quick scan, Chen Jie spotted a dark crimson odd force lurking at the core; upon investigating closer, he identified it as the Blood Devouring Poison.

This was undoubtedly the Blood Devouring Poison that had infiltrated his system, encircled by a layer of verdant energy—the exact Life Force derived from the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique's Spring Word Technique.

Yet, this Life Force evidently couldn't hold its own against the Blood Devouring Poison, showing gaps in multiple spots, though the fiery red Zhu Rong’s Flame Power formed a barrier around it, blocking any escape.

In effect, every bit of energy in Chen Jie fell under the Blood Devouring Poison's dominance, locked in a delicate equilibrium.

Because of this, Chen Jie found himself incapable of summoning even a sliver of power right away.

Refusing to yield, Chen Jie attempted to subtly draw on a portion of Zhu Rong’s power, but the moment it stirred, the Blood Devouring Power acted as if breaking free, wreaking havoc through his meridians and bloodstream, which scared Chen Jie into immediately abandoning the effort.

The Blood Devouring Power proved exceptionally perilous, and if pressed to sum up its impact, a single phrase sprang to Chen Jie's thoughts: induced cerebral thrombosis.

The primary way the Blood Devouring Poison operated was by rapidly blocking the brain's blood vessels.

Wasn't that essentially an induced cerebral thrombosis?

Forget Blood Devouring Poison—Chen Jie figured it ought to be renamed Cerebral Thrombosis Poison.

Unable to combat it, Chen Jie wearily lifted his eyelids, observing as Liu Caidie gobbled down her bun.

“So, see the full story now? You've got some serious good fortune there,”

“Couldn't you pass on the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique to me? It shields you on its own after harm—such a mythical Cultivation Technique.”

Upon catching her words, Chen Jie glanced at Liu Caidie and replied, “You'd like to pick it up?”

Liu Caidie responded, “Heh, forget it, I won't bother, to steer clear of headaches down the line.”

Chen Jie then endeavored to purge or drive out the Blood Devouring Poison, only to discover it futile, leaving a light sheen of sweat on his brow.

Liu Caidie picked up on his attempt and warned, “Save your energy. Were the Blood Devouring Power simple to remove, it wouldn't qualify as the Tang Sect’s top hidden art.”

“Hoping to wipe it out entirely? Only one path exists: use your Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique to gradually neutralize the Blood Devouring Poison.”

Liu Caidie provided this advice, and Chen Jie, taking it in, queried, “How much time until it's done?”

Liu Caidie mulled it over before stating, “Nothing too extended, eight to ten years ought to do it.”

“Eight to ten years? That's an eternity!”

The timeframe shocked Chen Jie, and at his reaction, Liu Caidie chuckled, “No sweat, folks hit with this Blood Devouring Poison usually end up paralyzed at minimum. Yours just seals off your Gang Qi—what's the fuss? You're youthful still; tough out a decade, and you'll merely be twenty-nine.”
