Chapter 973 - 978, - 979: Eight-Colored Eight-Winged Taotie Gu (Part 2)

At this moment, the red numbers on Nalan Yiren’s forehead can be seen by Chen Mo even through the cocoon.

4012.

This is already the Second Grade Divine Transformation Realm.

Nalan Yiren has successfully broken through, but for some reason, she hasn’t awakened yet.

Less than a quarter of an hour to go until half an hour, yet Nalan Yiren still hasn’t awakened.

Chen Mo felt he couldn’t really wait until half an hour, so he acted.

He opened the cocoon at Nalan Yiren’s right arm position, using Innate Spiritual Qi to cut open her wrist, and collected half a bowl the size of an adult’s fist of blood.

After dressing the wound, Chen Mo came to Si Song, opened his mouth, and poured the half bowl of fresh blood into it.

The imperial physicians and Yue Puzi in the room were stunned.

What kind of treatment method is feeding blood?

Whose blood is this?

They even wanted to say that this kind of folk remedy is useless and baseless.

However, they didn’t dare, fearing to provoke Chen Mo’s wrath, even more afraid that if they spoke, Chen Mo would forcibly make them treat him, then it would be over.

But when Chen Mo finished pouring the blood, within less than a quarter of an hour, a miracle occurred.

Si Song, who was almost out of breath, suddenly breathed a bit more strongly, although it was still far from a normal person’s breath rate, this breath was forcibly sustained.

After a quarter of an hour, Si Song’s heartbeat returned to a normal person’s.

The large patches of grayish-black energy faintly gathering on his face had also diminished somewhat.

The imperial physicians and Yue Puzi were amazed.

This is like bringing the dead back to life.

Was the blood just poured down Divine Blood?

It’s simply unbelievable.

Yue Puzi opened his mouth, his face flushed with excitement, evidently wanting to ask Chen Mo about the blood, but he didn’t dare to speak.

Until seeing Chen Mo about to leave, Yue Puzi couldn’t help but ask.

But just as he uttered a word, Chen Mo interrupted: "Take good care of him."

Finishing his words, he left the room with the empty bowl, as for the blood, he certainly wasn’t going to explain.

Returning to the room where Nalan Yiren was, the latter still hadn’t awakened.

Chen Mo caressed the cocoon, saying, "Yiren, hard work pays off, your earlier efforts were not in vain, the Taotie Gu should have successfully transformed, your blood worked, just perhaps not as well as you expected."

...

One day later.

Nalan Yiren still hadn’t awakened.

But Si Song had awakened, although all his cultivation turned to nothing, turning him into an ordinary person, the wrinkles on his face, like the bark of a pine tree, showing old age clearly, after getting out of bed, even his waist hunched over.

Seeing this, Chen Mo felt the treatment was complete, but from Si Song’s current condition, it seems he doesn’t have many years left to live.

Calling it cured is rather like saying a few years were added to his lifespan.

Si Song learned from Chen Mo that it was Nalan Yiren’s blood that saved him, and the Taotie Gu’s fourth transformation was real, Nalan Yiren hadn’t deceived him, Si Song’s complexion was incredibly complex.

After knowing that Nalan Yiren hadn’t awakened yet, he quickly went to see her in the room.

"You mean, even you don’t know what Yiren’s situation is?" Hearing that Si Song didn’t know what was going on with the cocoon, Chen Mo’s eyes narrowed.

Si Song shook his head and said, "The first three transformations of the Taotie Gu did not happen in this way, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t caused by the Taotie Gu, after all, the situation of its fourth transformation is unheard of, unseen, there is no record in the history of Poison King Valley."

"It seems we’ll have to wait until she wakes up to ask."

"Your Majesty, don’t worry, isn’t there a saying ’breaking out of a cocoon into a butterfly’? It represents rebirth, and Yiren is the same."

...

Since Si Song had awakened, Chen Mo took Nalan Yiren into the palace.

He can’t stay at the Original Wei Prince’s Mansion all the time.

The Cabinet has already adjudicated the matter of supporting Yelang.

Led by Xiao Jing, commanding three thousand troops, reinforcing Yelang, Lady Liangfei Xingyao accompanied, to lead the Wei Army.

...

Nalan Yiren awakened on the third day.

Yue Ruyan informed Chen Mo, after the situation with Si Song was settled, Chen Mo naturally couldn’t stay with Nalan Yiren all day for twelve hours.

At the Observatory, the next time he saw Nalan Yiren.

Chen Mo was startled.

Nalan Yiren had just finished bathing, changed into a white palace skirt, her hair draped over her shoulders, still wet, her jade cheeks slightly red.

Chen Mo was startled because before she "cocooned," long-term blood donation to extend Si Song’s life had made her look very haggard, her energy weak.

Yet now, her face was rosy, her energy stable, especially her skin, simply too good.

"Yiren, quickly, let me have a look."

Chen Mo leaned forward to examine closely, then clicked his tongue.

Before Nalan Yiren "cocooned," one could see some body hair on her, but now, not a single hair can be seen, her skin smooth.

The term ’jade body,’ used previously with some metaphor, now literally referred to Nalan Yiren.

"Have you looked enough?"

Nalan Yiren’s clear eyes were like water, her voice like a gentle flow of a spring.

Chen Mo widened his eyes, "Yiren, your voice?"

It must be known that Nalan Yiren had a unique smoky voice, but now, it had changed into a mature female voice.

"Isn’t it surprising? Actually, this is my true voice." Nalan Yiren chuckled.

Chen Mo previously heard Nalan Yiren say that the reason her voice became smoky was due to practicing Poison Techniques, which poisoned her throat.

Now it seems, her throat has healed.

"Has the Taotie Gu successfully transformed?" Chen Mo asked.

Nalan Yiren raised her hand, as a flash of eight-colored light glimmered, an eight-winged red insect appeared in her palm.

Nalan Yiren showed it to Chen Mo, and he saw the extra purple stripe on the abdomen of the Taotie Gu had the same deep color as the previous seven stripes.

"It seems it has successfully transformed." Chen Mo laughed.

At this moment, the Taotie Gu returned to Chen Mo’s ear, making a chirping sound.

"What is it doing?" Chen Mo curiously looked at Nalan Yiren.

"It’s thanking you, the fourth transformation was successful, allowing the Taotie Gu to awaken legacy hidden deep in its bloodline. It will have a total of seven transformations in its lifetime."

"Seven transformations? Does that mean it can transform three more times?"

"Yes." Nalan Yiren touched her pink lips, smiled, "Honey, let me show you something even more surprising."

"What?" Chen Mo asked in astonishment.

"Your Majesty, please concentrate your Protective Spiritual Qi." Yue Ruyan interjected.

Chen Mo focused his mind and did as Yue Ruyan said.

"Bite." Nalan Yiren instructed the Taotie Gu.

Chen Mo vaguely understood something but was still extremely shocked when he saw it happen.

The Taotie Gu actually shattered his Protective Spiritual Qi.

"It seems even the defenses of the Celestial Human Realm can’t withstand it." Yue Ruyan exclaimed, apparently she had tried it herself before.

"That is, it lacks some attack means, otherwise, honey, you probably wouldn’t be its match." Nalan Yiren said.

That might not be the case.

While shocked, Chen Mo had something left unsaid.

Since the Taotie Gu can break his defenses, with its potent poison, if he weren’t vigilant and it launched a sneak attack, he might fall victim to it.

"I’m just wondering if Vajra Skill can withstand it..." Chen Mo pondered.

"Alright, come back." Nalan Yiren called the Taotie Gu back to her body, her beautiful eyes gazing at Chen Mo, "Honey, thank you for handling the Great Elder’s matter, Ru Yan told me, if it weren’t for you, by the time I woke up, the Great Elder... might no longer be here."

Saying this, Nalan Yiren’s voice began to choke.

"Alright, it’s all over, don’t cry." Chen Mo embraced Nalan Yiren, gently patting her back, then told her about Si Song’s condition.

"I will go to see him later." Nalan Yiren definitely needed to leave the palace to check on the Great Elder.

"By the way, where did those cocoons on your body go?" Chen Mo suddenly thought of something, when he came in, they weren’t in the room.

"The bug just ate them." Yue Ruyan took over the conversation.
