This girl was so young with a somewhat naive innocence based from he can see so far that despite her breathtaking countenance and fragile beauty, all he could see was a young
girl who seemed to have quite an interesting yet airhead personality which in his point of view is looking to bea very promising granddaughter, one that he had longed to have since he already had enough grandsons as it is.
"Well of course! Didn't my son adopt you?" Fan Song Xue ask with a smile.
"En! Then this granddaughter will promise to do her best!
Without anymore hesitation, Fan Zhu Xia then excused herself before briskly starting to remove Fan Song Xue's outer clothes.
Her initial embarrassment already forgotten and her movements became fluid as her face only showed a focused expression.
The only thing that betrayed her emotions is when the rims of her eyes reddened as she saw the emaciated body underneath the clothes making her heart clench.
Fan Zhu Xia can only imagine how long this grandfather of hers struggled in pain and how strong his willpower was to keep holding on even after a decade.
Seeing her expression, Fan Song Xue felt his heart warm and felt that the more he looks at this new granddaughter of his, the more she seems appealing!
After all, the deep concern and worry on his behalf that flashed in Fan Zhu Xia's eyes didn't escape Fan Song Xue's notice.
Taking a deep calming breath, Fan Zhu Xia softly murmured, "Grandpa, please prepare yourself."
Nodding calmly, Fan Song Xue laid his head back and just let his eyes watch her movements.
The moment she saw him nod, Fan Zhu Xia started pulling out her acupuncture needles and accurately stabbing them one by one with astonishing speed until all three hundred sixty-one needles of various lengths and sizes were in Fan Song Xue's body, not sparing even one and making look like a human pin cushion.
Amazingly, throughout the process, Fan Song Xue didn't feel any pain, instead a cool, comfortable sensation permeated his body but just as he was about to rejoice, Fan Zhu Xia's words brought him back to reality.
"Prepare yourself, the pain is about to start."
With that, Fan Zhu Xia popped the Absolute Purging Pill into Fan Song Xue's mouth and then made him drink the Pain Nulification Elixir immediately right after.
Before long, a slight tingling started to spread in his body which slowly started to change from a slight prickling to the feeling of a thousand needles going through his veins then
morphing into the feeling of his flesh being cut open by hundreds of blades.
The pain started escalating from there, almost as if his entire body, both inside and out were being slowly torn then shredded into tiny pieces and Fan Song Xue had to close his
eyes and grit his teeth just to get through it and avoid accidentally biting his tongue off, Meanwhile, Fan Zhu Xia continously flooded Fan Song Xue's body with her qi and guided all of it to circulate gently while
Fan Song Xue subconsciously followed her lead.
While she's doing this, she's letting her needles draw out the poison that comes into contact with it, along with any impurities there is.
From time to time, Fan Zhu Xia will lowly call out and Fan Song Xue will automatically open his mouth in response and as soon as he does, several pills will be tossed in which he
would quickly swallow, providing him with much needed help and enabling him to cope and remain conscious despite the intense torture he is feeling.
This treatment went on for such a long time and since Fan Song Xue had his eyes clenched tightly close, he failed to see the increasing pallor on Fan Zhu Xia's face as beads of
sweat formed and glistened on her forehead like pearls while a small trickle of ruby red blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth, dyeing her lips a striking vermillion color
against her impossibly ashy white skin Biting her lip, Fan Zhu Xia pushed herself and focused on
drawing out as much of the poison as she could while ensuring that this doesn't put as much pressure on Fan Song Xue's already weak body.
The consequence of doing this is that the stress and pressure on her increases as well as the level of difficulty of the treatment is just the start but the toll she is placing on
her body could only be imagined.
Unbeknownst to them, hours passed by and the treatment which had started at just the early hours before dawn had already gone well into the night, almost making it a whole day.
Just as Fan Song Xue felt that the level of pain he was feeling was beyond what he could handle, he heard Fan Zhu Xia softly call out as another batch of pills were delivered into his mouth and as he swallowed them, he fauntly felt that the pain was slowly fading in an almost negligible pace.
While he felt this, Fan Zhu Xia was using the last dregs of her qi and making a final push and drawing tr last remnants of poison to her needles and with a low shout, she used her qi
which were like pale blue threads to coil around her needles an simultaneously pull them out, even surprising Fan Song Xue and making his eyes snap open at the sudden sensation of something being forcibly drawn out of his body while it
still desperately clung on to his qi, only to be yanked and separated in a split-second.
The moment his eyes opened, he let out a hiss of pain before he felt a sense of calm and unbelievable comfort spread through him, soothing all the pain he felt from earlier as if
trying to erase any vestige of his earlier suffering.
Just as Fan Song Xue turned to face his granddaughter to thank her and give her praise, he saw her cough out a large amount of blood and stagger backwards while her acupuncture needles clattered to the ground around her as she lost consciousness therefore losing control over her
remaining qgi and slowly fell to the floor in a dead faint with a thud.
Alarmed, Fan Song Xue struggled to his feet as he shrugged his overcoat on and stumbled to Fan Zhu Xia's unconscious form, accidentally knocking the jug of water by his bedside which also fell to the floor with a crash.
The guards who were already contemplating whether they should enter or not ever since they heard the low thud and clattering sounds lost any doubts they had when they heard
the loud crash.
Bursting into the room, they saw the old patriarch who cleared the floor beside Fan Zhu Xia's prome form and was kneeling there as he tried checking her condition and waking
her up.
Seeing him conscious and out of his bed, the guards were stunned and only came around when they heard the old patriarch roar in anger.
"GET A PHYSICIAN NOW!!"
