Chapter 28: The Method of Detoxification-Rebelou-se contra ele(Sonho de ossos em uma noite)

At dawn, Lin Xihe rose, dressed herself, and gave a slight bow to Yu Tingye. "Lord Tingye, I shall take my leave."

Without waiting for his response, she walked away. Yu Tingye stood where he was, watching her retreating figure with a contemplative expression.

Just then, Luoxue stepped in and bowed to him. "Lord Tingye, Miss Wan still seems to be angry. Why didn't you tell her that Shuangyi took her own life?"

"Is there a difference between suicide and being killed by me? Besides, is there any need for me to explain myself to her?"

Seeing that Yu Tingye was in a foul mood, Luoxue wisely kept his silence.

Lin Xihe had barely sat down upon returning to her chambers when Tang Xin'er entered, accompanied by her maid, Huawu. Tang Xin'er turned to the maid and said, "Go and wait outside."

Huawu withdrew. Lin Xihe looked toward A-Jiu. "You may leave as well."

A-Jiu nodded, bowed to Tang Xin'er, and exited.

"What is it? Speak," Lin Xihe said, habitually sinking into her armchair.

Tang Xin'er looked helpless. "Sister-in-law, Shuang Yu—he has been standing by the window staring blankly outside. I think he misses his older sister. Do you know when she will be back?"

Lin Xihe sighed.

"You don't know either, do you?"

Lin Xihe nodded in confirmation. After Tang Xin'er departed, Lin Xihe also stepped out, wandering through a quiet grove to get some fresh air.

She did not know how far she had walked, but she sensed a dense demonic aura—she was actually able to perceive it. Could it be because she now possessed the inner core?

That familiar sensation within her body seemed to be slowly returning.

The black inner core detached from her body as if drawn by some unseen force, drifting in a certain direction. Lin Xihe followed close behind.

The moment the core left her body and floated into the air, it was watched intensely by a pair of eyes...

Surrounded by the pervasive demonic aura, Lin Xihe watched as the core continuously absorbed the energy, growing larger and larger until it reached the size of an egg. Lin Xihe immediately stopped it, beckoning with her hand, and the core returned to her body.

She closed her eyes, reveling in the feeling of being filled with demonic power.

The reason Wanwan had been able to become the Demon Sovereign was precisely because of this unique constitution, which had always kept her above all others.

Yu Tingye set foot into the territory of the Tree Demons for the first time.

The Tree Demon clan had existed in the Demon Realm since the beginning, knowing all things under heaven.

A massive tree, so wide that seven men would be needed to encircle it, revealed its features upon seeing Yu Tingye. "Lord Tingye, what a rare guest you are."

Yu Tingye bowed, cupping his hands in greeting. "Elder Qianhui, I have a matter to ask of you."

The old tree demon paused. "What is it you seek?"

Yu Tingye replied, "The poison of the Love Addiction. Do you know of any way to cure it, Elder?"

The old tree demon pondered. "I have never heard of it."

Yu Tingye described the specific circumstances to him. Upon hearing them, the old tree demon seemed to recognize the affliction. "This poison is difficult to cure."

"Difficult, but not impossible?" Yu Tingye asked.

The old tree demon thought for a moment. "There is a way, but it depends primarily on you."

"How is it cured?"

The old tree demon revealed the method.

Not long after Yu Tingye departed from the Tree Demon territory, Shuang Yu burst in, shouting, "Grandpa Tree!"

Qianhui felt a headache coming on the moment he saw him. "What are you being so rash for, boy?"

"Grandpa Tree, I didn't come here to cause trouble today. I have a question for you."
