Bai Qinchen really went all out for this performance. Although Bibi Dong showed him mercy, he was still seriously injured.

"How could a Soul Saint withstand the attack of a God-level expert for so long?" Tang Wutong muttered as she treated Bai Qinchen.

"Mom, how is he? Is my brother alright?" Dai Ying asked anxiously as she knelt down, her voice trembling and her eyes slightly red.

Tang Wutong did not answer, but focused on examining Bai Qinchen's body. The golden light condensed from her fingertips traveled over his body, but her brows furrowed more and more. The body of a Soul Saint should be extremely fragile, but the young man in front of her had exceptionally strong meridians, and even faintly revealed a bit of... divinity?

"Strange," Tang Wutong muttered to herself, her fingertips pausing on a spot on his chest where there was a dark red bruise that even constant washing with divine power could not completely remove.

"Mom?" Dai Ying's voice trembled, her eyes reddening, as she asked, "Is my brother...?"

"It's alright." Tang Wutong withdrew her hand, her tone calm but unable to hide a hint of seriousness. "The injuries are severe, but her life is not in danger. However..."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Bai Qinchen's pale face, and said, "There seems to be a special power within him resisting my divine power. I cannot completely cure it. It should be Bibi Dong's soul power remaining in his body."

Upon hearing this, Dai Ying's face turned deathly pale, and her lips trembled as she was unable to speak.

Seeing this, Tang Wutong reached out and gently patted her shoulder, saying softly, "Don't worry, he's safe."

As she spoke, golden light shone from her fingertips again, and she gently touched Bai Qinchen's brow. "I'll stabilize his injuries first, and we'll talk about it when he wakes up."

The golden light entered Bai Qinchen's body, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Tang Wutong, and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving my life, senior."

Tang Wutong gently shook her head and said, "I should thank you. If it weren't for you, Ying'er would probably be in trouble."

"Cough cough!" Bai Qinchen slowly sat up, coughing violently.

"You can't move right now, you need to rest properly," Tang Wutong said, gently pressing Bai Qinchen's shoulder.

“Then brother, let me carry you away!” Dai Ying immediately suggested.

Tang Wutong shook her head helplessly when she saw her daughter wanting to hold Bai Qinchen. Dai Ying was still very young, and it would be a bit difficult for her to hold Bai Qinchen, so she said, "Never mind, I'll hold him."

As she spoke, Tang Wutong bent down and picked Bai Qinchen up.

Tang Wutong didn't notice that when she picked up Bai Qinchen, Bai Qinchen and Dai Ying exchanged a glance, a glint of light flashing in their eyes.

The plan is proceeding as they initially planned.

Bai Qinchen was in Tang Wutong's arms, his right hand, the "Heartbreakingly Beautiful Hand," resting on Tang Wutong's body, quietly eroding her.

Chapter 424 If you won't kiss me, I'll have to!

"Wu Tong, where are you going?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled, when he saw Tang Wu Tong taking Dai Ying out so early in the morning.

Since Tang Wutong brought Dai Ying back, the two of them often went out shopping and playing, and didn't return until late at night.

At first, Huo Yuhao thought it was because Tang Wutong hadn't been out shopping or seen the excitement in the human world for a long time, so she was starting to feel playful. But now that they'd been out for several days in a row, Huo Yuhao was still puzzled to see Tang Wutong taking Dai Ying out to play early in the morning.

What is that that goes out to play every day?

"Take Ying'er out to play." Tang Wutong said with a bit of helplessness, "This girl is too playful. She was chased by Bibi Dong a while ago, so I definitely have to accompany her."

Tang Wutong was truly helpless. At first, she did have the intention to play around, but she discovered that Dai Ying's excuse for going out was just that—an excuse. She simply wanted to get closer to her bodyguard brother.

Besides protecting Dai Ying, Tang Wutong also had another purpose: to prevent Dai Ying from being eaten.

She could tell just how proactive her daughter was.

"Mom! Stop talking, let's go!" Dai Ying didn't want to waste any more time and pulled Tang Wutong away impatiently.

"Brother, Brother Qingchen!" Dai Ying waved her arms excitedly when she saw Bai Qinchen.

In order to avoid revealing his identity, Bai Qinchen naturally changed his name to Qingchen.

"Sister Wutong!" Bai Qinchen greeted Tang Wutong politely when he saw her.

Previously, Bai Qinchen had considered calling Tang Wutong "senior" or "aunt" or something similar.

However, Tang Wutong felt that calling her "old" was inappropriate, since she was from the future and already of a younger generation. How could she let Bai Qinchen call her "aunt"?

"Mm!" Tang Wutong nodded gently.

"Ying'er, where do you want to go today?" Bai Qinchen asked with a smile, patting Dai Ying's head.

"Okay, let's go for a walk over there," Dai Ying said intimately, linking her arm with Bai Qinchen's.

When Tang Wutong saw Dai Ying holding Bai Qinchen's arm, Xiu Mei frowned. She realized that her daughter was becoming more and more dependent on Bai Qinchen.

She had said something to Dai Ying before, but Dai Ying's words, "Brother Qingchen is my savior, what's wrong with being a little closer to him?" immediately shut her up.

"Sigh!" Tang Wutong sighed helplessly and followed Bai Qinchen and Dai Ying for a walk.

"Hiss~" Suddenly, Bai Qinchen clutched his chest and gasped.

"Brother Qingchen, what's wrong?" Dai Ying asked with concern when she saw Bai Qinchen clutching his chest, looking uncomfortable.

"Mom, come quick and see what's wrong with Qingchen!" Dai Ying called out to Tang Wutong.

Tang Wutong came to Bai Qinchen's side, put her small hand on Bai Qinchen's shoulder, and released her divine power to check on Bai Qinchen's condition.

"It's still because of Bibi Dong's residual soul power in his chest." Tang Wutong's expression was somewhat solemn.

"Mom, my brother's illness has been getting worse these past two days. Is there really no way to get rid of it?" Dai Ying asked anxiously.

"With my divine power, there's no way to undo it," Tang Wutong said, gently shaking her head.

"Oh? What should we do? My brother did this to save me. I can't just watch him die!" Dai Ying said, shaking Tang Wutong's small hand.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qinchen sighed, pulled open his clothes, and saw a very obvious dark red stripe on his chest.

"Hmm? The speed at which it's spreading is so fast?" Tang Wutong's beautiful eyes narrowed when she saw the stripes, and she said in a deep voice.

"Mom, what will happen if the stripes spread all over my brother's body?" Dai Ying looked at Tang Wutong with a worried expression as she looked at the stripes on Bai Qinchen's chest.

"You might die!" Tang Wutong said in a deep voice.

"Ah! I don't want my brother to die!" Dai Ying was startled and quickly hugged Bai Qinchen.

"So comfortable!" Bai Qinchen exclaimed after being hugged by Dai Ying. Then, realizing what was happening, he quickly looked at Tang Wutong and said, "Um, Sister Wutong, don't misunderstand. It was when Dai Ying hugged me just now that I felt a lot of relief in my chest."

Tang Wutong's expression had initially darkened, but after hearing Bai Qinchen's explanation, it eased slightly. She looked at Bai Qinchen's chest, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her small face.

"What happened? The stripes on your chest are less than usual," Tang Wutong said in surprise.

"Really!" Dai Ying looked down at Bai Qinchen's chest and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be because I'm holding my brother that I'm able to alleviate the soul power that Bibi Dong secretly left behind?"

“That’s possible.” Tang Wutong nodded gently.

"If a hug can relieve the pain, then wouldn't a kiss be even better?" Dai Ying muttered to herself.

"Ying'er!" Tang Wutong called out hurriedly, trying to stop her, but Dai Ying kissed Bai Qinchen on the lips.

"Dai Ying!" Tang Wutong was startled and quickly separated Dai Ying and Bai Qinchen, angrily shouting at Dai Ying, "What are you doing? How could you do such a thing?"

"What's wrong! My brother saved my life. I'll do anything to help him relieve his pain," Dai Ying said, puffing out her cheeks as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Besides, look, haven't the stripes on Qingchen's chest disappeared even more since I kissed him?" Dai Ying said, pointing to Bai Qinchen's chest.

Tang Wutong turned to look at Bai Qinchen's chest and saw that the stripes had indeed disappeared a lot. She muttered in confusion, "Hmph! What the hell is Bibi Dong's soul power? How can it be so despicable?"

"But you can't kiss him!" Tang Wutong said angrily.

"If I don't kiss you, who will?" Dai Ying said irritably.

"Tch!" Tang Wutong spat lightly upon hearing this, glared at Dai Ying, and said irritably, "What nonsense are you spouting, you brat?"

"That's settled then, if you won't kiss me, I'll have to!" Dai Ying said with a smile, jumping down from Tang Wutong's arms and giving Bai Qinchen another kiss.

"Um, Ying'er, don't be like this." Seeing Tang Wutong's murderous gaze, Bai Qinchen quickly pushed Dai Ying away.

"No! Brother Qingchen!" Dai Ying pouted and muttered, "You risked your life to save me, so what's wrong with me kissing you?"

"Anyway, I don't care. As long as you feel uncomfortable in the future, I will kiss you, or you will kiss me," Dai Ying said coquettishly while hugging Bai Qinchen.

"Dai Ying!" Tang Wutong shouted angrily, then pulled Dai Ying away from Bai Qinchen and said, "You're coming back with me!"

"I do not!"

"You have no choice in this!" Tang Wutong wasn't going to tolerate Dai Ying and pulled her away directly.

Bai Qinchen watched Tang Wutong and Dai Ying's departing figures, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"Tang Wutong, since you don't want Dai Ying to be intimate with me, then you can be intimate with me yourself!"

Chapter 425 Can you help him?

"Wu Tong, what happened? Why do you look so worried?" Huo Yuhao asked with concern when he saw Tang Wu Tong rubbing her eyebrows and looking distressed.

"It's nothing." Tang Wutong shook her head and didn't say anything more.

After all, you can't exactly say that their precious daughter is head over heels in love with a man and wants to be with him every day.

"By the way, where's Ying'er?" Tang Wutong looked up and asked in confusion.

"I don't know. That girl has disappeared somewhere. Every time I try to ask her about her current situation or information, she's vanished without a trace," Huo Yuhao said, shaking his head.

"Where has she run off to again?" Tang Wutong sighed, stood up, and said, "I'll go look for her."

She dared not leave Dai Ying alone. This girl often ran off to find Bai Qinchen when he wasn't looking, and she might do something if he wasn't careful. She had to keep an eye on her.

Tang Wutong wandered around the palace for a long time but couldn't find Dai Ying anywhere.

Just as Tang Wutong was about to return to her own courtyard and passed by Dai Ying's courtyard, a voice came from inside the house.

"Dai Ying, don't do this. If Sister Wu Tong finds out, she won't post it."

"Don't be afraid of being abandoned. You're under Bibi Dong's spell now, and I have to help you."

"You really don't need to do that, I'm fine."

"You lie down right now."

Bai Qinchen and Dai Ying's voices were neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Tang Wutong to hear, since it was all an act for her sake.

After hearing what was being said inside, Tang Wutong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly pushed open Dai Ying's door.

However, when she pushed open the door and saw what was inside, she was completely stunned. Dai Ying was playing with a baguette.

"Dai Ying! What are you doing!" Tang Wutong shouted angrily.

"Mom, what brings you here!" Dai Ying was startled and quickly stood up, lowering her head and asking in a low voice.

Bai Qinchen, who was standing to the side, quickly put away the baguette and looked at Tang Wutong with some guilt.

"Look what you're doing! If I hadn't come, you would have been completely out of control!" Tang Wutong was furious. She had never even held a baguette before, yet Dai Ying had actually managed to do so.

"What, what's wrong now?" Dai Ying puffed out her cheeks and muttered, "Brother Qingchen was poisoned because of me, so of course I should do my best to help him."

"You can't do something like that!" Tang Wutong glared at Dai Ying and scolded her.

"What's wrong with that? Look at Brother Qingchen's chest, thanks to my help, those stripes have almost disappeared." Dai Ying pointed at Bai Qinchen's chest, speaking with a straight face.

"But, you can't do such a thing!" Tang Wutong took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said, "Ying'er, I know you're doing this for Qingchen's own good, but..." She paused, unsure how to explain. There were some things that, as a mother, she truly found difficult to say.

“But what? Brother Qingchen did this to save me! I can’t watch him suffer!” Dai Ying stubbornly raised her head, her beautiful eyes red.

"In short! This kind of absurd method is not allowed to be used again!" Tang Wutong gritted her teeth and forcefully gave the order.

She grabbed Dai Ying's wrist with a rather strong grip, "You! Now! Right now! Come back with me!"

"No!" Dai Ying stamped her foot in frustration, broke free abruptly, rushed to Bai Qinchen's side, hugged his arm tightly, and said, "If I leave, who will help my brother!"

Bai Qinchen's face showed embarrassment, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to Tang Wutong. He coughed lightly, tried to push Dai Ying away, and said, "Ying'er, stop making trouble, Sister Wutong is angry."

"So what if I'm angry!" Dai Ying pouted, stubbornly tilting her head back, and said, "I'm just going to help you. What if it hurts so much you die?"

"Ying'er, listen to your mother first," Bai Qinchen advised softly, his tone gentle, but a calculating glint flashed in his eyes.

Dai Ying reluctantly let go, muttering softly, "What if it hurts you..."

"It's nothing, I can bear this little pain." Bai Qinchen waved his hand, looking completely unconcerned.

"Look, your brother Qingchen said it's no problem, come with me quickly." Tang Wutong said, taking Dai Ying's hand to leave.

Just as she was about to forcibly drag Dai Ying away, Bai Qinchen's body suddenly swayed, he let out a muffled groan, and his face turned pale at a visible speed.

He suddenly clutched his chest, a fine layer of cold sweat beading on his forehead, as if he were enduring immense pain.

"Brother!" Dai Ying screamed, immediately shaking off Tang Wutong's hand and rushing to Bai Qinchen's side to support him, anxiously asking, "What's wrong? Has the poison flared up again?"

Tang Wutong was also stunned and subconsciously looked at Bai Qinchen's chest.

The dark red stripes that had almost disappeared suddenly lit up again, even more eerily than before, as if they were alive and slowly wriggling.

"It's all your fault, Mom!" Dai Ying turned around and shouted at Tang Wutong, her eyes red-rimmed. "It's all your fault for interrupting the treatment! Now my brother is in even more pain!"

"I...I'll help you!" Dai Ying said anxiously, and went to take out the baguette again.
