Yun Sheng and her companions arrive at Dihong City to find it devastated and its residents mutated or dead. After gathering the survivors, Yun Sheng plans a risky self-experiment to test a cure for the Blood Mist Poison, but Ye Beiming insists on taking the risk instead. Meanwhile, Dugu Xiu and the Great Witch Doctor discuss the Blood Mist Poison's origins and incurable nature, while Dugu Xiu contemplates his actions.

Inside Dihong City, Yun Sheng had not closed her eyes for over ten days.

"Yun Sheng, you should rest for a while. We are here, and we’ll notify you if there are any changes." Yuan Shahu and the others looked at Yun Sheng, who had been tirelessly staying awake, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins, and her lips blistered, all of them worried.

"No, I need to be with him." Yun Sheng’s gaze rested on the cages ahead.

These cages held the subjects Yun Sheng had previously selected for experiments, including some plants and demon beasts.

In one of the cages, a golden Qilin lay crouched.

Just fifteen minutes ago, Yun Sheng injected a certain amount of blood into the Golden Qilin’s body.

The blood had been drawn from Yuan Bupo. Over these past days, Yun Sheng had been personally injecting the demonized blood bit by bit into Ye Beiming, who had transformed into a Qilin.

In the beginning days, Ye Beiming’s reaction was intense, to the point that even the ordinary magical cages couldn’t contain him.

However, whenever he saw Yun Sheng, he would do his best to calm down.

One must admit, Ye Beiming’s willpower was astonishing.

By the fifth or sixth day, the poison had tormented him to an inhumane degree, and aside from Yun Sheng, he would go into a frenzy attacking anyone who approached him.

Thus, Yun Sheng could do nothing but stay with him, and with no time to eat, she sustained herself by drinking some Life Water.

"Yun Sheng, it’s already been more than ten days. Are you sure you want to continue?" Even Ji Ru Mo felt that Yun Sheng’s experiment was futile.

"No, let’s wait a bit longer." Yun Sheng stared at the golden Qilin in the cage.

The latter lifted its weary eyes and gave her a deep look.

That evening, Yun Sheng couldn’t support herself any longer. In a moment of desperation, Ji Ru Mo cast a sleeping spell on her, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.

Yun Sheng slept very soundly, and when she woke up, Yuan Shahu and the others had worried expressions.

"What’s wrong?" Yun Sheng’s heart skipped a beat.

"Yun Sheng, Ye Beiming’s condition seems off. He’s started to have a persistent high fever, and we don’t know why." Yuan Shahu and others had just sent Yun Sheng to rest when the Golden Qilin became restless.

Ji Ru Mo had to use various magic to suppress him.

But in the later part of the night, the golden scales on the Qilin’s body suddenly shed, and numerous red rashes appeared on its skin, yet the fever showed no signs of abating.

These rashes had spread across its entire body overnight.

"What? You say it has developed many rashes and is feverish?" Upon hearing this, Yun Sheng didn’t panic; instead, a unique gleam appeared in her eyes.

"Yun Sheng, its condition isn’t good." Yun Canglang and Ji Ru Mo stayed by the Golden Qilin, feeling distressed seeing Yun Sheng’s reaction.

If Ye Beiming were to come to harm, Yun Sheng...

"It’s succeeded, haha, it’s succeeded! I guessed right; the Wuji Continent is saved. Antibodies have started forming in the body of the night fox!" Yun Sheng cried and laughed, rushing to the cage and opening it, regardless of the astonished cries from everyone, and embraced the Golden Qilin.

Her tears fell recklessly, and never had anyone seen Yun Sheng in such a state; Ji Ru Mo and the others looked at each other in confusion.

They didn’t know what had happened to Yun Sheng.

Three days later, the rashes on the Golden Qilin began to scab and peel, and Yun Sheng immediately collected them.

The Golden Qilin’s fever also subsided, and its appearance gradually returned to normal.

Ye Beiming finally reverted to human form on the seventh day.

Once assured that Ye Beiming was well, Yun Sheng immediately got busy, disappearing from sight.

No one knew what she was doing.

"Second Aunt, Second Uncle, here are some potions. Please give them to the city residents to drink." When Yun Sheng reappeared, she presented some potions.

Yuan Shahu and the others didn’t know Yun Sheng’s intentions, but they followed her instructions and had Yuan Bupo and others drink the potions.

Not long after drinking, Yuan Bupo, who had been in a manic state, gradually regained consciousness.

"Big sis? Why did you come back? Didn’t our parents tell you not to return?" Yuan Bupo hadn’t realized the events of the past days, surprised upon seeing Yuan Shahu.

"Bupo, you’ve really recovered? Oh my, if our parents’ spirits in heaven saw this, they would be relieved." Yuan Shahu hugged Yuan Bupo, crying out in grief.

"Second sis, what are you saying? What happened to our parents?" Learning the full story, Yuan Bupo joined Yuan Shahu in crying mournfully.

Several hours later, residents of Dihong City gradually regained consciousness after being treated with the potions.

"Yun Sheng, this time, we truly owe you thanks for helping Dihong City overcome this crisis." Having experienced the loss of his parents, Yuan Bupo seemed to grow up significantly.

Dihong City suffered a great blow, with nearly ninety percent of the populace dead, leaving Yuan Bupo with enormous responsibilities as the new City Lord.

Upon realizing that the resolution of his Blood Mist Poison was due to Ye Beiming’s help, he sincerely thanked Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming.

Especially Ye Beiming, initially, Yuan Bupo held animosity towards him because of his feelings for Yun Sheng, totally unexpected that his rival would risk his life to save him. The thought left Yuan Bupo full of emotion.

"Bupo, Dihong City has undergone such changes. We should stay to help you. But now, the Wuji Continent is still under the threat of the blood mist, and we must find ways to mass-produce these potions. Additionally, Dihong City is currently unfit for habitation. It would be best to relocate." Yun Sheng spoke apologetically to Yuan Bupo.

"Yun Sheng, it’s not that we don’t want to leave; we can’t, because..." Yuan Bupo hesitated, glancing at his two sisters beside him, all showing reluctance, unsure whether to reveal the truth to Yun Sheng.

"It’s not that they won’t leave; it’s that they can’t leave because beneath Dihong City lies a massive secret they must keep." Just as Yuan Bupo hesitated, uncertain how to explain to Yun Sheng, Bo Bo entered under the escort of several Dihong City residents.

Bo Bo was brought in, all tied up, looking furious.

"Bo Bo, why are you here?" Yun Sheng feared Bo Bo might cause trouble and hurriedly went forward to untie her.
