Chapter 841 Absorbing Energy
In no time, Lin Ping had finished treating the woman's wounds.
"Such a shallow wound, and no poisoning, it shouldn't be this serious, right?" Lin Ping muttered to himself.
Because the wound was very shallow, he didn't even stitch it up for the woman, only giving her the simplest bandage.
"I'm cold, I'm so cold!" The woman shivered uncontrollably.
"It's so hot!" Lin Ping accidentally touched the woman's finger and immediately pulled it back.
A person gets a fever because the number of white blood cells in the body increases dramatically, which releases heat. The increase in white blood cells is caused by the invasion of bacteria or viruses.
In other words, once a person's immunity declines, they may be defeated by the virus, resulting in symptoms such as fever.
Lin Ping carefully examined the wound and found no signs of infection.
"That's strange, why would I suddenly get a fever?" Lin Ping wondered.
The weather on Mount Lüliang was freezing cold, so Lin Ping had to put his robe on the woman and quickly find firewood, as only fire could provide warmth.
"I understand now, his heart meridian must have been damaged by the enemy's hammer." Lin Ping was slightly worried when he thought of this.
If this is the case, the woman has suffered internal injuries, and her internal organs are likely damaged.
"Forgive me, forgive me, I was only trying to save people." Lin Ping clasped his hands together and prayed sincerely.
He didn't want to use an X-ray to look at the woman's chest; his sole purpose was to save her life.
Left with no other choice, Lin Ping reluctantly turned on the X-ray, and was immediately stunned, staring at it for a long time.
"Fortunately, it's just minor bleeding, there's no danger to her life." Lin Ping wiped the sweat from his brow and quickly looked away from the woman's chest.
Examining a body can be very strenuous, especially examining a pretty girl's body.
Although her injuries weren't serious, they did affect the woman's strength, which explains why she didn't dare to pursue the enemy.
"She'll be fine after a good night's sleep." Lin Ping touched the woman's forehead, which was burning hot again.
Just then, the woman's delicate hands suddenly grabbed his restless large hands.
"Please don't misunderstand, young lady. I'm just taking your temperature, similar to taking your pulse. There's absolutely no intention of harassment," Lin Ping explained hastily.
The woman looked serene, clearly fast asleep, and hadn't heard a word he said; however, her delicate hands remained tightly gripping Lin Ping's.
"Little sister, big sister, wake up, I want to sleep too," Lin Ping said softly, wanting to wake the woman but not wanting to wake him.
This kind of conflicted feeling is intriguing.
"Go ahead and grab me, it's just a hand, you can have it." Lin Ping kept yawning, his eyelids starting to droop.
After several days of traveling, he was indeed exhausted. In a daze, Lin Ping felt the energy within his body continuously flowing out from his palms and gradually entering the woman's body.
Before long, Lin Ping fell into a deep sleep, completely unaware of what was about to happen.
After he fell asleep, the woman's burning body temperature began to subside, and her pale face began to regain its rosy hue.
"Such pure energy! After tonight, I will be a late-stage fifth-level expert." The woman slightly opened her eyes, revealing a cunning look.
She was indeed tired and prepared to let Lin Ping's energy naturally flow into her body.
As time passed, Lin Ping's energy dwindled until it was almost depleted, while the woman's energy became increasingly abundant, and her overall complexion changed.
The calls of a few pheasants heralded the beginning of dawn.
The woman opened her eyes, feeling refreshed, and began to actively absorb the energy from Lin Ping's body.
"It's so delicious! This is the most delicious energy I've ever eaten." The woman licked her lips, her whole body trembling as if she were on drugs.
She is Zhang Yuelu, the leader of the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Nightmare Palace, and the mastermind behind last night's assassination attempt.
The reason she rushed out to save Lin Ping was because she was impressed by his pure yang energy.
Her constitution is naturally different from others; she can absorb the energy of others through skin contact to enhance her strength, with the energy of pure yang men being the best.
Because the absorption process is very slow and can be interrupted by the other party's subjective consciousness, she couldn't force it, which is why she orchestrated this whole thing.
First, he put Lin Ping in a desperate situation, then he rescued him, even deliberately getting injured to make Lin Ping feel guilty and sympathetic.
This increased the chances of physical contact between the two, and then, taking advantage of Lin Ping's drowsiness, they made him fall asleep without realizing it, thus absorbing the energy for the entire night.
"It's a pity that he's too weak and doesn't have much energy in his body," Zhang Yuelu said with some reluctance.
It's like getting the most delicious food in the world, but only taking one bite, which is far from enough to satisfy your taste buds.
"What is this? Such a powerful aura!" Zhang Yuelu exclaimed excitedly.
Just as Lin Ping's energy was about to run out, a purer and more massive energy suddenly surged forth.
Zhang Yuelu revealed a greedy look and absorbed the energy forcefully.
A moment later, she suddenly felt something was wrong. The pure energy was too much for her to digest at the moment. If it continued to flow in in large quantities, her meridians might be damaged.
"Stop! Stop it now!" Zhang Yuelu shouted, trying to stop the absorption of energy.
However, her hands seemed to be stuck to Lin Ping's large hands, and she couldn't break free no matter what she did.
She stopped actively absorbing the nutrients, but the absorption rate did not slow down.
With the continuous intake of energy, her heartbeat swelled to an extreme degree, and her internal organs were boiling.
Bang!
Zhang Yuelu was thrown back by a powerful energy, her body felt like it was about to explode, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
Under the massive shockwave, Lin Ping suddenly opened his eyes and found the woman sitting on the ground, vomiting blood, her breath even weaker than the night before.
"Young lady, are you alright?" Lin Ping rushed over and helped the woman up.
"Get away from me, don't touch me!" Zhang Yuelu said fearfully, forcefully throwing Lin Ping away.
Once the two come into contact, Lin Ping's energy will continue to flow into Zhang Yuelu's body, causing her even greater damage.
Lin Ping also realized that men and women should not touch each other, and awkwardly withdrew his large hand.
"That's strange. Why do I feel a bit weak? Could it be that Hongling has taken away too much of my yang energy?" Lin Ping scratched his head, determined to keep this secret to himself.
As a man, he couldn't let others know that he was weak.
“Young lady, I’m here to help you heal your wounds,” Lin Ping explained.
The other party was unimpressed: "This little injury is nothing to me. I'm leaving now."
Seeing Zhang Yuelu swaying unsteadily, Lin Ping became extremely worried and, despite her objections, insisted on carrying her on his shoulders.
"Where do you live? I'll take you home," Lin Ping said with an upright expression, showing no intention of offending the other party.
Zhang Yuelu was furious! Her pulse, which had just begun to ease, started to swell again. If Lin Ping continued to carry her, she would eventually vomit blood and die.
