Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Gifts with Ulterior Motives

Yang Cheng did want the Spiritual Essence Pill to absorb his True Qi, but the Elixir Embryo was condensed in Lin Er’s body and could only absorb her Spiritual Energy.

Ye Ling’Er let out a muffled groan, feeling her whole body alternately cold and hot, as if two forces were pulling back and forth inside her.

Dong dong!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Cheng Ruonan and Cheng Qiyue instantly stood up, looking vigilantly towards the door.

"Mr. Yang, the hotel has prepared some night snacks and red wine for you."

The manager’s voice came in, but Yang Cheng was focused on transferring True Qi to Ye Ling’Er and had no time to attend to the people outside the door.

"We don’t need a night snack, you can leave, please don’t disturb our rest."

Cheng Ruonan directly spoke to send them away.

"It’s just a small gesture, we left it at the door, if you get hungry, you can have a taste and try the hotel chef’s skills."

The manager finished speaking, and then there was no more sound.

"Yang Cheng and Miss Ye expended so much effort, they’ll definitely be hungry in a while, better bring the night snack in."

Cheng Qiyue stood up.

"You stay here and keep watch, I’ll go out and check just to prevent an ambush."

After all, having been a bodyguard for many years, Cheng Qiyue was very cautious, she reminded Cheng Ruonan and then carefully walked to the door.

She first looked through the peephole to see outside the door, and after finding no one, she slowly opened the door and poked her head out to look around.

After confirming the manager had left, she then pushed the trolley into the room.

"Wow! So much, this manager is quite generous!"

Seeing the large platters on the trolley, Cheng Ruonan couldn’t help but exclaim.

She lifted the covers from the platters and immediately the rich aroma spread out.

"Lobster, king crab, is this really the night snack sent by the hotel?"

Cheng Ruonan was incredibly surprised, ordinarily hotels would send occasional night snacks to certain distinguished guests, usually cold dishes or fruit plates.

How come they’re sending lobster and king crab late at night?

"Unprovoked kindness, either treachery or theft, don’t eat these yet, let Yang Cheng take a look first."

Cheng Qiyue saw nothing wrong with the food, but she vaguely felt uneasy.

Furthermore, they had already experienced two assassination attempts before, the enemy might still be lurking around them, they had to guard against it.

At this time, Yang Cheng suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Essence Gathered, Extract Pill from Body!"

As his voice rang out, his hands started rapidly Sealing, the speed was so fast it left afterimages.

Dense yellow True Qi gathered in his palms, his two fingers aligned together, aiming a few inches away at Ye Ling’Er’s flat abdomen.

"Ugh!"

Ye Ling’Er suddenly threw her head back and let out a distressing cry, the pain on her delicate face was intensely evident.

This pain was even more intense than when the Elixir Embryo entered her body.

It seemed the Spiritual Essence Pill in her lower abdomen was being forcibly separated, tearing at her flesh, causing Ye Ling’Er to tremble all over, her teeth breaking her crimson lips.

Her smooth forehead was seeping with fine beads of sweat, her little face white as paper.

In this intense pain, Ye Ling’Er even had a slight urge to struggle.

"Don’t move, I’m stripping the Spiritual Essence Pill, this is the final step, you must hold on, think of your mother, if the Spiritual Essence Pill cannot successfully condense, her poison will be incurable."

Yang Cheng quickly spoke to stabilize Ye Ling’Er’s emotions.

Now Ye Ling’Er was unable to speak, but her consciousness was still clear, she obediently leaned against the bedhead, gritting her teeth to endure the intense pain.

The subsequent pain was even more intense, Ye Ling’Er was about to lose her sanity, but thinking of her mother’s smile made her forcibly suppress the urge to struggle.

Pain!

Really too painful!

It’s said that women giving birth feel like walking through the gates of hell, that kind of pain can reach level ten, but Ye Ling’Er felt her current pain was surely stronger than childbirth.

She even had such a moment when she felt her abdomen being torn into pieces, already a disfigured mess.

No!

Must hold on, just one final step, she can succeed.

She has endured for so long before, can’t let it fail at this moment.

Even if she really died, it doesn’t matter, as long as she can save her mother, it’s worth it!

Yang Cheng looked at Ye Ling’Er’s resolute little face, feeling a pang of distress in his heart.

Unexpectedly, she looked so gentle and weak, yet her willpower was so firm, she was able to grit her teeth and endure it.

In fact, using the human body as a Furnace defies nature’s laws, so this method is considered a type of dark art in Alchemy.

He once saw in ancient texts that some Alchemists, in order to create superior Medicine Pills, caught many virgins to use their bodies as Furnaces for Alchemy.

But after extracting the Medicine Pill, those virgins died shortly after.

At the time when Yang Cheng saw this ancient text, he thought it was due to the Alchemist’s lack of skill, or disregarding the lives of the Furnaces for more complete extraction of the Medicine Pill.

Now he understood that extracting Medicine Pill consumes too much Spiritual Energy, ordinary people’s bodies simply cannot withstand it, after extraction, they die of Essence Qi depletion.

But now he must defy nature once, no matter what, he must save Ye Ling’Er, this kind-hearted girl.

The constant sobbing of Ye Ling’Er filled Yang Cheng’s ears, he gritted his teeth, raising his fingers and suddenly a purple-red Medicine Pill shot out of Ye Ling’Er’s body.

"Ah!"

Ye Ling’Er screamed, her body collapsed weakly.

The yellow True Qi immediately enveloped the purple-red Medicine Pill, spiraling in the air for a while.

Yang Cheng hurriedly took out the previously prepared Glazed Bottle, using True Qi to contain the Spiritual Essence Pill as he stored it in the bottle.

After storing the Medicine Pill, Yang Cheng quickly hugged Ye Ling’Er with joy, "The Medicine Pill has been extracted, it’s alright now."

"Really? But I feel like I’m about to die."

Ye Ling’Er spoke weakly, her cheeks drained of color, she couldn’t muster any strength.

"What nonsense, I told you before, using the human body as a Furnace will have aftereffects, feeling unwell is normal, I’ll help you slowly recuperate."

Yang Cheng gently stroked her pretty face, smoothing her disheveled hair to the side.

"Yang Cheng, I believe..."

Ye Ling’Er struggled to speak, but before finishing, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, her face showed pain, and painful moans spilled from her mouth.

"So painful! It hurts so much."

Seeing her like this, Yang Cheng’s face changed dramatically, bowing his head to see blood flowing under her.

It looked like a miscarriage, but Yang Cheng knew very well Ye Ling’Er was not pregnant, this was clearly a post-extraction complication of the Spiritual Essence Pill.

But this shouldn’t be!

He clearly had been supplying True Qi to Ye Ling’Er from the beginning to end of the extraction, although painful during the final separation, he ensured there was no fundamental harm.

Why would Ye Ling’Er suddenly bleed so much?

Yang Cheng suddenly froze, abruptly turning his head to look at the trolley not far away.
