Surprised, Lu Zifeng glanced at Mu Tianzi, wondering how he had never known that talismanic technique had such a function.
But then, thinking about the small storage talisman Wang Duli had given him, Lu Zifeng felt relieved.
If that kind of thing could be made, then protecting a heart shouldn’t be too big of a problem.
After picking up several cups of milk tea from the coffee shop, Lu Zifeng had Mu Tianzi go find Wang Duli first, and with a milk tea clenched in his mouth, he drifted toward room 521.
Just as he was about to leave after setting down the milk tea, Lin Siyin stopped him upon hearing that he was looking for Wang Duli.
"Da Ju, wait for me; I also need to find my master."
After agreeing, Lu Zifeng lay on the bed waiting for Lin Siyin.
But it didn’t take long for him to realize that he might have made a mistake.
Girls going out... really take too long, especially in the morning.
He had thought that getting dressed and freshening up would be quick, but Lu Zifeng found he was still too naïve.
Half an hour later, Lu Zifeng couldn’t hold out any longer, collapsed on the bed, drowsy, and in a half-sleep state, someone picked him up.
After smelling that it was Lin Siyin’s scent, Lu Zifeng didn’t bother to open his eyes and just switched positions to sleep in Lin Siyin’s arms.
Enjoying a refreshing nap, Lu Zifeng got up and stretched his limbs, only to find himself in an ancient and quaint house.
He looked around and saw that the room was empty, so he shook off his fur and hopped onto the windowsill to take a look outside.
He saw that Wang Duli and the others were sitting in the courtyard, with Wang Duli leisurely drinking tea.
Jumping off the windowsill, Lu Zifeng yawned and walked toward the courtyard.
Wang Duli, noticing something was off, looked over immediately and, seeing Lu Zifeng, greeted with a smile, "Woken up?"
Still not fully awake, Lu Zifeng nodded nonchalantly and curiously looked at Wang Duli, "Aren’t you going out to race cars today?"
Hearing Lu Zifeng’s question, Wang Duli’s face flushed red, and he coughed lightly, "That’s just experiencing life, how could I be racing cars at my age every day? That wouldn’t be proper."
"Yes, yes, you’re right."
Lu Zifeng nodded perfunctorily and jumped onto the table, looking at Mu Tianzi with an inquiring gaze.
"Elder Wang has a way to protect the heart, but..."
Mu Tianzi paused, his expression turning grim, "It’s just that to kill the Abnormal Biological Parasite inside Jiu Jiu, it would cause irreversible damage to Jiu Jiu’s body."
The already groggy Lu Zifeng became even more bewildered upon hearing this.
He tilted his head, thinking for a moment, "What do you mean?"
Putting down his teacup, Wang Duli sighed, "I examined the girl’s body, and the abnormal creature has been parasitic for at least a week."
"It’s like some diseases, if not treated, she might live another two days, but treatment could kill her on the spot."
Lu Zifeng couldn’t help but curse.
The next second, a fist landed on top of his head.
With a sense of grievance, Lu Zifeng looked up at Chen Jiu, who still had a smile on his face, and pondered for a moment, "So, you mean there’s absolutely no solution left?"
"The parasitism of abnormal creatures isn’t as simple as you imagine," Chen Jiu replied.
Shaking his head, Wang Duli explained, "While parasitizing a human body, they assimilate the human blood into their own. That’s how they can use their racial talents."
Hearing Wang Duli’s explanation, Lu Zifeng nodded thoughtfully.
That meant when the abnormal creatures parasitized a human body, they would release a toxin-like substance into the blood.
No wonder the Heavenly Eye said that the Fetus Worm would break out of the body in two or three days; it was because it was about to assimilate the blood.
At that moment, Lu Zifeng suddenly thought of the Phoenix flames.
If the Phoenix could use its flames to activate his bloodline, could he likewise use flames to purify the toxins in Chen Jiu’s blood?
After sharing this idea with Wang Duli, Wang’s brows furrowed.
"The flames of the Phoenix are Nirvana Rebirth Fire, while at best, your flames are mere Mortal Fire, which might not have any effect."
"How will we know if we don’t try?"
Lu Zifeng cracked a tiger-toothed smile as he spoke, setting his gaze upon Mu Tianzi, "Give me some blood, and I’ll give it a go."
"Ding—Appreciation value from Wang Duli +8000 detected."
At that, a small knife made of Light Spirit Energy appeared in Mu Tianzi’s hand, and he made a cut on Chen Jiu’s finger.
The blood inside Chen Jiu’s body was no longer red, but rather a purplish red, indicating that the Fetus Worm was close to assimilating the blood.
Lin Siyin, standing beside them, took a cup and placed it underneath Chen Jiu’s finger, collecting some of the blood, into which Lu Zifeng then summoned his inherent flame and threw it.
The intense fire evaporated the blood instantly, leaving a foul odor lingering in the air.
The moment Lu Zifeng summoned the fire, Wang Duli exclaimed in surprise.
Looking at the evaporated blood in the cup, Lu Zifeng furrowed his brows.
He had tried his best to control the flame, just enough to evaporate the abnormal creature’s blood, but still, it was not a success.
Just as Lu Zifeng was about to try again, Wang Duli spoke dispassionately.
The three people and Orange Cat looked puzzled at Wang Duli.
Wang Duli stroked his beard, "I didn’t expect the Orange Cat’s flames to be Spiritual Fire; Chen Jiu might be saved after all."
Recalling the blood that had just evaporated directly, Lu Zifeng glanced at Chen Jiu.
Turning his attention to Wang Duli with doubt, he asked, "My fire has directly evaporated Miss Chen Jiu’s blood, how does that save her?"
"The premise for purification is that there needs to be something that can be purified in the blood. I didn’t expect Miss Chen Jiu’s situation to be this severe," Wang Duli said, shaking his head in relief. "But it’s a good thing your fire is Spiritual Fire. With my talismanic protection and concurrent blood transfusions, she can be saved."
Lu Zifeng expressed deep skepticism at Wang Duli’s statement.
Just as he was about to ask further questions, he heard Mu Tianzi take a deep breath, kneel on both knees, and make a deep bow to Lu Zifeng and Wang Duli, "I implore you both to save my loved one."
With Magnetic Field Control activated, Mu Tianzi, who had knelt down, stood up involuntarily.
Lu Zifeng flicked his tail on the table and sighed, "A full blood transfusion is unreliable in the first place, I think you should consider... Ow!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zifeng was knocked on the head by Wang Duli, "Who told you we were doing a full blood transfusion?"
Listening to Lu Zifeng’s statement, Wang Duli could hardly contain his frustration.
He thought, what did that cat meant by that look in his eyes? After all this talking, it hadn’t understood his meaning in the slightest.
