Chapter 396: Inextricably Entangled

“Let me try.”

Lin Xun, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

Lin Xun’s sudden words drew everyone’s attention.

Realm does not represent everything.

There are specializations in every field; even if Lin Xun’s strength was great, in terms of medical skills, he was likely inferior to a common entry-level Disciple of Medicine King Valley.

Yet Lin Xun said he had a way?

Although no one believed Lin Xun.

But these words of Lin Xun’s undoubtedly reignited the flames of hope in everyone’s nearly despairing hearts.

“Young Master Lin, do you really… have a way?”

Madam Sikong looked at Lin Xun with trembling eyes; her lingering charm and the tears in the corners of her eyes were incredibly moving at a single glance.

Lin Xun turned around and bowed to the Sikong couple:

“This Junior cannot guarantee it, but I will do my best to try!

Furthermore, this method carries a certain amount of risk.

But I will definitely do my utmost to protect Wang Xing’s safety.

If you two can trust this Junior, please grant me some time alone.”

Madam Sikong glanced at her husband. At this moment, Sikong Jing was looking at Lin Xun seriously.

Must Not Die and Zhu Ling also remained silent.

To be honest, no one present really believed that Lin Xun could have a solution.

But given the current situation.

Even if there was only a sliver of hope, it had to be tried!

However, all of this required waiting for Sikong Jing to make a decision.

“I understand. We will step out for a moment. Rest assured, during the time you are in this room, no one will enter.”

Finally, Sikong Jing made his decision.

He didn’t believe the Lin Xun before him would harm his daughter.

And now, he could only let him try.

“Thank you for your trust, Senior Sikong.”

Having gained Sikong Jing’s understanding, Lin Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, even if Sikong Jing had refused, Lin Xun wouldn’t have given up; at worst, he would have resorted to forceful means.

Being able to get the other party’s understanding now was naturally the best-case scenario.

“Then we shall withdraw first.”

Sikong Jing said, forcing himself to remain calm as he took one last look at his daughter.

Although he didn’t know exactly what Lin Xun was going to do, he could only leave everything to him.

Zhu Ling stood up and gently tugged at the corner of Lin Xun’s sleeve.

“It’s fine, trust me.”

Lin Xun smiled and rubbed her head.

Zhu Ling, with tears in her eyes, nodded gently.

Must Not Die almost had a heart attack seeing this, and Sikong Jing was much the same.

Setting aside the fact that Lin Xun already had a wife and was flirting with his daughter, he was now even having some ambiguity with Zhu Ling?

It seemed the rumors were true; this Lin Xun really was a flower-thief!

But in this situation, their thoughts were all on Wang Xing, and they had no mind to pursue the matter now.

After the four left, only Lin Xun and Wang Xing, who was lying on the bed, remained in the room.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xun sat at the head of Wang Xing’s bed, looking at the Pale girl on the couch.

At this moment, all of the girl’s vital signs were normal.

However, Lin Xun could clearly feel that her Divine Soul was gradually weakening.

Like the Life Lamp in the girl’s room, it seemed as if it would go out at any moment.

Lin Xun performed a hand seal, and a wisp of Soul Fire was extracted from his Divine Soul.

“Go.”

The Soul Fire merged into Wang Xing’s Soul Lamp.

Lin Xun’s Soul Fire was like a warm lampshade, gently enveloping Wang Xing’s Life Fire.

The Ten Thousand Demon Sect’s soul technique—Soul-Binding Technique.

Lin Xun connected his own Soul Fire with Wang Xing’s Life Fire, essentially using his own life to sustain her.

Lin Xun’s face turned slightly Pale.

This was far from over.

He took out the “Concentric Knot” secret technique She Qiqi had given him from his robes.

Following the steps, Lin Xun bit his finger, squeezed out a drop of Essence Blood, and dripped it into Wang Xing’s mouth.

Then, Lin Xun took Wang Xing’s small hand out from under the covers and gently bit her soft fingertip.

Lin Xun sucked a drop of Essence Blood from the cut on her fingertip.

The Essence Blood of both parties entered each other’s bodies.

Placing Wang Xing’s small hand in his palm, Lin Xun closed his eyes:

“Life Fires connected, Divine Souls linked. Sharing life and death, two hearts knotted. Blood as witness to the Heavens.”

While chanting the “Concentric Knot” incantation, Lin Xun circulated his spiritual energy.

Inside the girl’s bedchamber, the snuggling Life Fires on the Soul Lamp swayed gently.

A blood-colored thread quietly emerged from the hearts of Wang Xing and Lin Xun.

The other end of the red thread reached out toward the other person.

“Rumble!”

In the sky, thunder roared.

Although it wasn’t a Lightning Tribulation, a torrential downpour began in an instant.

Demon Race World, Seventh Princess’s Estate.

A girl wearing a thin gauze nightgown was lying across the bed reading a book, her graceful figure like winding mountain ranges.

A strand of hair brushed across her fair cheek, carrying a hint of lazy charm.

At one end of the bed, a ghostly blue flame flickered slightly on a lamp.

The girl’s lazy eyes looked over, her cherry-pink lips reflecting the candlelight as they curled up slightly with a mesmerizing allure.

“Has it begun?”

The girl yawned, a playful cunning flashing in her eyes.

“Go guard the door. Tonight, no matter what happens, no matter the circumstances, no one is allowed to disturb me.”

The girl closed the book and spoke softly to the room, which appeared empty except for herself.

“Yes!”

As soon as she finished speaking, several blurred figures vanished from the room.

“Life Fires connected, Divine Souls linked. Sharing life and death, two hearts knotted. Blood as witness to the Heavens.”

She Qiqi also closed her eyes, softly chanting the same incantation as Lin Xun.

As she chanted, the corners of She Qiqi’s mouth curled up, and even her closed eyes curved slightly.

If She Liu saw this now, she would surely be shocked.

Because the last time she had seen her younger sister smile like this was during their childhood a thousand years ago.

At that time, their Queen Mother was still around.

And Qiqi, who had suffered from a toothache for a long time, finally received her mother’s permission to eat the candy she had been longing for.

In fact, She Qiqi hadn’t lied to Lin Xun.

This “Concentric Knot” was indeed handwritten by that deceased Dao Companion couple.

The Concentric Knot wouldn’t harm Lin Xun, nor would it harm Sikong Wangxing.

She Qiqi was very clear about Lin Xun’s bottom line; unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t touch it.

She Qiqi hadn’t tampered with the Concentric Knot technique in any way.

It could be said that everything written in the letter was true; She Qiqi hadn’t lied about a single word.

However, although She Qiqi hadn’t lied to him or harmed Sikong Wangxing.

She Qiqi had indeed concealed some other matters regarding the Concentric Knot.

“In the end, won’t you still fall into my hands?”

She Qiqi opened her eyes, and a red thread overflowed from her heart, slowly hiding itself within the Great Dao.

In the City Lord’s Estate of Tianji City, threads from three sides faintly converged and became subtly entangled, as if they were destined to be inextricably linked from then on.
