As Qin Xuan returned home, it was already nearing evening.
Tantai Yue sat on the sofa, her face etched with anxiety. Upon seeing Qin Xuan's return, she immediately stood up, her gaze fixed on him, her voice laced with worry,
"Qin Xuan, Linlin hasn't woken up since she got back. Just now, I went upstairs to call her for dinner, but no matter how I tried, I couldn't wake her. Has something happened to Linlin?"
"Take me upstairs to see her," Qin Xuan said, his brow furrowed. He ascended the stairs with Tantai Yue to Qin Lin's room.
Qin Xuan used his spiritual sense to examine Qin Lin's body. He found her to be incredibly weak. The Soul Devouring Gu had already consumed nearly half of her vital blood. With her organs lacking the circulation of vital blood, her body was immensely weak, preventing her from waking.
Tantai Yue noticed the troubled look on Qin Xuan's face, sensing that Qin Lin's collapse was far from simple. She asked,
"Qin Xuan, what exactly has happened to Linlin?"
"Alas," Qin Xuan sighed, and recounted the events of that night when he was captured by the witch doctors.
"So, if this Gu within Linlin isn't removed, she'll be in mortal danger?" Tantai Yue asked, her voice trembling with concern.
Qin Xuan nodded.
Tantai Yue felt a wave of helplessness wash over her. These matters were beyond her comprehension, and she could do nothing to help, only watch helplessly.
This feeling of powerlessness gnawed at her, making her feel agitated. Why was it that she could never be of any assistance?
Sensing Tantai Yue's emotions, Qin Xuan took her hand and comforted her,
"Tantai, it's alright. I'm here, and I won't let you or Linlin suffer any harm. In three days, I will go find those witch doctors. Furthermore, the witch doctor who placed the Gu on Yu Yan has already returned to their Gu tribe to fetch mountain spring water for Linlin."
"If all else fails, I'll make the journey myself. I refuse to believe I won't find a way to cure Linlin."
Tantai Yue's eyes welled up, and she choked out,
"Qin Xuan, I'm sorry. Every time something happens, I can't help you at all. I feel so..."
"Don't say that," Qin Xuan said with a smile, stroking Tantai Yue's beautiful cheek. "You've already given enough. Don't worry, I'm here for everything."
With that, he patted Tantai Yue's hand and shifted his gaze to Qin Lin on the bed.
Qin Xuan bit his finger, then brought it to Qin Lin's lips. A drop of his blood fell into her mouth.
After a few breaths, Qin Xuan's blood rapidly dispersed within Qin Lin's body. Following this, the vital blood that Qin Lin had lost quickly began to recover.
A blush gradually returned to Qin Lin's cheeks, and her eyelids fluttered slightly.
Seeing this, Tantai Yue's face contorted with disbelief.
Qin Xuan had only just dripped a single drop of blood into Qin Lin's mouth, and Qin Xuan's own complexion had instantly regained its color?!
Tantai Yue was unaware that Qin Xuan's blood could now be considered half-dragon blood.
The blood of a true dragon possessed immense vitality and destructive power; a single drop could create myriad things or destroy worlds.
In ancient times, if a weapon were nourished by a drop of dragon blood, it would immediately transform into a top-tier divine artifact.
For cultivators, using dragon blood for their practice would lead to rapid cultivation breakthroughs, accelerating their progress to more than ten times that of ordinary cultivators.
Although Qin Xuan had not yet undergone his transformation, his body had already fully integrated with the Dragon Core, and six dragon scales had grown on his back, making him a semi-dragon person, albeit barely.
Therefore, Qin Xuan's blood was quite a potent tonic.
Qin Lin slowly opened her eyes, and the first things she saw were a handsome face and an elegant face.
"Brother, sister-in-law!" Qin Lin blinked her small eyes and asked with some confusion,
"I just went to sleep, why are you two looking at me from so close?"
Tantai Yue's eyes were slightly red as she hugged Qin Lin tightly,
"You little brat, you scared me half to death! If you ever scare me like this again, I'll make you sleep on the sofa like Qin Xuan!"
Qin Lin, having just woken up, was utterly bewildered.
Had the world turned upside down?
She had merely slept for a while, and upon waking, her status had plummeted to that of her elder brother?
Unaware of the full story, Qin Lin stuck out her tongue at Qin Xuan and playfully said,
"Stinky old brother, you must have angered sister-in-law, causing my family status to drop so drastically, hmph!"
