”So petty...” Dongfang Meili whined coquettishly.

Ye Xiu turned his head to see Qin Qing and Chloe laughing so hard they were sprawled on the table.

”Meili, stop fooling around!” Dongfang Chaonan scolded.

”Hmph!” Dongfang Meili pouted.

Only then did Ye Xiu carefully place his hand on Dongfang Meili’s pulse again. He was extremely nervous, afraid she would take the opportunity to touch him again.

”Are you confident you can cure it?” Dongfang Chaonan asked, his face full of anticipation.

Dongfang Dazhuang, Dongfang Erlang, and An Dongye also watched with anticipation.

”I can,” Ye Xiu nodded.

Dongfang Chaonan and the others immediately grew excited.

Ye Xiu asked, ”Are they the only three in the Dongfang Family infected with the Blood Poison?”

”There are hundreds of them,” Dongfang Chaonan said bitterly.

Ye Xiu sucked in a sharp breath. A terrible suspicion he was reluctant to accept formed in his mind, and he asked, ”Can you tell me how they were poisoned?”

”This...” Dongfang Chaonan hesitated, seeming reluctant to let Ye Xiu know. ”They were poisoned while training in the forbidden grounds, trying to awaken their Totem Power.”

Just as I suspected... Ye Xiu’s heart sank. He hesitated for a moment but decided against alerting Dongfang Chaonan. He could just pay a visit to the Dongfang Family himself when he had the time.

He said, ”If I’m not mistaken, the day their Blood Poison is cleared will be the day they awaken their Totem.”

The eyes of Dongfang Chaonan, Dazhuang, and Meili lit up.

Dongfang Chaonan said impatiently, ”Quickly, try curing one first.”

”Alright.” Ye Xiu nodded and pointed at Dongfang Meili. ”Stand straight and don’t move.”

CRACK!

Dongfang Meili snapped to attention in a perfect military stance.

Ye Xiu stood up and pressed a series of points on Dongfang Meili’s body. More than ten minutes later, he suddenly unleashed a stream of Blade Qi, slitting her right index finger.

Instantly, a stream of dark green blood shot out from her fingertip.

Dongfang Meili looked as if she was thoroughly enjoying it.

Ye Xiu: ”???”

What is happening? Shouldn’t removing the Blood Poison be incredibly painful?

The next moment, Dongfang Meili’s aura suddenly surged.

”She’s awakened! She’s really awakened!” Dongfang Chaonan shot to his feet, his square face flushing as red as blood with excitement.

”Brother Ye, it’s my turn! My turn!” Dongfang Dazhuang zipped to Ye Xiu’s side, urging him on.

”Me too! Me too!” Dongfang Erlang chimed in, also running over.

”One at a time. Dazhuang, you’re first!” Ye Xiu said, and immediately began Dongfang Dazhuang’s detoxification.

”It hurts!” Dongfang Dazhuang cried out in pain as Ye Xiu pressed the points on his body.

Ye Xiu was utterly baffled. Dongfang Dazhuang’s reaction was normal, so why had Dongfang Meili looked so blissful?

Soon, Ye Xiu had completely purged the Blood Poison from Dongfang Dazhuang’s body. He then cleansed the poison from Dongfang Erlang. Both of them, in turn, awakened their Totem Power.

”Benefactor! Brother Ye, you are the Dongfang Family’s greatest benefactor!” Dongfang Chaonan ran over and grasped Ye Xiu’s hand gratefully. ”After dinner, I’ll head back to the Dongfang Family and bring everyone afflicted with the Blood Poison. Brother Ye, what do you think?”

”There’s no need. Once I’m finished with my business here, I’ll personally make a trip to the Dongfang Family,” Ye Xiu said.

Dongfang Chaonan really wanted to insist on bringing everyone over, but since Ye Xiu had put it that way, he was too embarrassed to refuse. ”Alright then,” he said. ”But I still must return after dinner. I heard you came to Guoyang to take revenge on the Long Family, so I’ll leave Dazhuang, Erlang, Meili, and Cuihua here to help you.”

Ye Xiu was immediately unhappy. Dazhuang, Erlang, and Cuihua could stay, but Meili was a different story.

However, before he could refuse, Qin Qing chimed in, ”Then we must thank you, Senior Dongfang.”

Ye Xiu: ”???”

What is she playing at?

Qin Qing tossed her hair, pretending not to see Ye Xiu’s questioning gaze. Inwardly, she was thrilled. She felt that having Dongfang Meili around would definitely stir things up for Ye Xiu, which would spare her from continuing their cold war.

Just then, the waiter brought the food.

Ye Xiu, Qin Qing, Chloe, and An Dongye hadn’t even picked up their chopsticks before the first dish was devoured by Dongfang Chaonan, Dazhuang, and Erlang. Dongfang Meili was more elegant; she licked her plate sparkling clean.

When the waiter brought the next dish, Dongfang Chaonan, Dazhuang, and Erlang wiped it out in ten seconds.

Once they had eaten their fill, Dongfang Chaonan patted his bulging stomach and asked, ”Brother Ye, why aren’t you all eating?”

Ye Xiu, Qin Qing, and Chloe glanced at the table of empty plates. They had wanted to eat, too, but they just hadn’t been fast enough to snatch any food.

Just then, Ye Xiu received a text from Gong Jin: ”Young Master, half an hour ago, five of the Medicine Slaves Jiang Yuan brought to Guoyang were killed by a mysterious person. Upon learning this, Jiang Yuan became furious and is preparing to raid the Long Family Manor tonight.”

After reading the message, Ye Xiu’s first reaction was that someone was stirring up trouble. They wanted to make Jiang Yuan believe the Long Family had killed the five Medicine Slaves, provoking him into raiding the Long Family Manor that very night.

Who could it be? It wasn’t hard to guess. It had to be Dog Two!

”Senior Dongfang, I’d like to borrow Dazhuang and Erlang to help me with a fight. Is that alright?” Ye Xiu asked.

He had already figured out Dog Two’s intentions. Dog Two knew he wanted to toy with the Long Family, so he provoked Jiang Yuan into raiding the manor at night to kill its members. This was an attempt to sabotage his plans. But Ye Xiu couldn’t understand it. Dog Two was from the Medicine King Valley. Even if he provoked Jiang Yuan into raiding the Long Family Manor, there was no need to kill Jiang Yuan’s Medicine Slaves. Could Dog Two be from the conservative or neutral faction of the Medicine King Valley?

”Brother Ye, say no more! It’s no problem at all,” Dongfang Chaonan readily agreed. ”Dazhuang, Erlang, Meili, you three go with Brother Ye. You fight whoever he tells you to fight.”

”Okay!”

Dongfang Dazhuang, Dongfang Erlang, and Dongfang Meili immediately stood up. They were eager to test their newly awakened powers.

Ye Xiu’s expression was one of pure misery. He didn’t want to take Meili, but now that Dongfang Chaonan had spoken, he couldn’t very well refuse. What if he hurt her pride?

He said to Qin Qing, ”You and Chloe wait here. Gong Jin will come to pick you up.”

”Be careful!” Qin Qing advised.

Ye Xiu nodded, then immediately rushed out of the private room with Dongfang Dazhuang, Dongfang Erlang, and Dongfang Meili. He drove them hurriedly toward the derelict residential complex.

If Dog Two wanted to ruin his plan to toy with the Long Family, he wouldn’t limit himself to targeting the Long Family Manor. He would definitely send people to the derelict complex to kill as well.

At the Long Family Manor, the Family Head had already made preparations, so Jiang Yuan’s night raid wouldn’t gain much of an advantage.

But the derelict complex was a different story. Besides Nangong Yue’s group of seven, the strongest among the other thirty thousand people was only a Great Grandmaster.

Dog Two could just send a single Third Realm War God to effortlessly kill Nangong Yue’s group and slaughter countless members of the Long Family and the thirteen external families.

He had to go save them
