Chapter 251: Time for the treatment

But just as he held her thick thigh to lift her up and rip those clothes, a series of frantic, terrified screams echoed from the dark corridors outside the treasure hall.

Dozens of surviving cultivators from various minor factions came sprinting past the shattered entrance, faces pale with horror as they blindly pushed each other out of the way.

And the reason?

Because behind them an enormous, violently roaring wall of living black mist swept through the ruined streets like an unstoppable tidal wave, hunting and swallowing stragglers whole. Their screams cut off the instant they were consumed.

Gu Fan was not afraid of the mist.

His Tier-2 Heaven-Devouring Poison Body could withstand the corruption. But Song Yan? She could not.

He pulled the extorted Black Moon Palace leyline map from his Void Band and rapidly scanned the glowing ink lines that displayed the safe paths of the ruins.

The three Black Moon disciples who had been following them since the plaza were already standing just outside the hall, faces tight with fear as they watched the approaching wall of black mist. The lead disciple’s eyes locked onto Gu Fan the moment he stepped out carrying Song Yan.

"Senior...!" One of them hesitatingly called out, her gaze fixed at the black mist.

"Keep up if you want to live," Gu Fan cut her off coldly. He adjusted Song Yan against his chest so that her long elegant legs wrapped tightly around his waist and her arms clung desperately to his neck, "Fall behind and I will leave you."

Without waiting for a reply he activated his movement arts and bolted out of the hall.

The three Black Moon women did not hesitate. Despite their injuries they immediately pushed their remaining qi into their legs and chased after him, black leather robes fluttering as they forced their bodies to match his ghost-like speed.

Instead of following the panicked crowd down the exposed wasteland, Gu Fan used the stolen map to steer into left side with his ghost-like speed and the accurate map let the small group bypass the main paths and the deadly hidden traps while the roaring wall of black mist continued to slaughter everyone still trapped on the open roads behind them.

The three Black Moon disciples staying close behind.

"Please.. Save me... I don’t..." Gu fan heard Song Yan whisper like a buzz of a mosquito.

"Hold on, Miss Yan," he replied back, deliberately letting his hand squeeze her plump ass cheek as he ran, "I just found us the perfect, highly isolated little place for the night."

Following the glowing map, he led them to a completely hidden, heavily sealed node deep within the ancient architecture.

It was a rundown stone building nestled between collapsed towers, its outer walls cracked and stained with centuries of dust and moss.

Despite its neglected appearance, the structure itself remained strangely intact with the heavy stone vault doors still solid, the foundation undisturbed by the surrounding decay.

It looked like it had once belonged to someone important, but time had reduced it to little more than a forgotten shell.

Gu Fan ignored the intricate ancient locking mechanisms carved into the doors. He opted for a much more direct approach.

He gathered a concentrated burst of Origin Realm Qi into his free fist and drove his knuckles straight into the center of the stone mechanism. The heavy vault doors shattered with an earth-shattering crash, blowing the entrance wide open.

He stepped inside the dust-covered interior, carried the desperate, heavily panting Song Yan deeper into the main chamber, then glanced back. The roaring wall of black mist was no longer visible.

The immediate danger had passed.

Gu Fan looked at the three Black Moon disciples who had followed them all the way here.

"You three," he ordered them coldly, "Stay outside and keep watch. If anything approaches this building, deal with it or die trying. Do not enter unless I call for you."

The three women immediately nodded, still pale and bleeding, and took up positions just beyond the shattered doorway without argument.

Meanwhile Gu Fan set Song Yan down on a pristine ancient stone bed. Despite the state in shich the building was outside, the bed and the chambers were spotless.

She writhed against the cold sheets, thick thighs instinctively rubbing together, dark eyes glazed with absolute lust and desperation.

"Please..." Song Yan whimpered shamelessly, biting her lower lip as her hands desperately reached toward his dark trousers. Her haughty pride had been completely shattered by the agonizing curse. "Please, give it to me... I need it..."

"Patience, Miss Yan," Gu Fan said, stepping completely back from the bed and refusing to give her what she desperately wanted just yet.

While she writhed and begged on the stone bed, he turned away and reached into his inventory.

A moment later he pulled out a single jade talisman that glowed with a deep, steady blue light.

The surface was covered in dense, interlocking runes that pulsed faintly.

[Heaven-Sealing Guardian Talisman – High-Grade]

The talisman was powerful enough to cover an entire building.

Once activated, it would form a multi-layered defensive barrier that blocked physical attacks, spiritual sense, and most forms of energy detection. Anything that tried to force its way through would be met with a violent backlash of pure sealing force.

Gu Fan pressed the talisman against the inner side of the shattered vault doors and poured a thread of his Origin Realm qi into it.

The runes flared brightly. A transparent blue barrier expanded outward in a rapid wave, coating the walls, ceiling, and floor of the entire rundown building before settling into place with a low, resonant hum. The distant sounds of the dungeon outside were instantly cut off, leaving only silence.

Gu Fan checked the barrier once more, confirmed it was stable, then turned back toward the bed.

Song Yan was still lying there, chest rising and falling rapidly, black veins pulsing across her pale skin as she stared at him with glassy, desperate eyes.

Gu Fan slowly unfastened the front of his black robes, letting them hang open as he walked toward her.

"Looks like we finally have some privacy," he said, voice low and calm. "Time for your treatment."

While outside this building the rogue cultivators must have been eaten alive by now, Song Yan violently writhed on the ancient stone bed, her beautiful face entirely flushed and covered in cold sweat.

The lethal Yin-Consuming Heart-Rotting Gu was aggressively flaring up, actively sending thick, sickeningly dark black veins crawling dangerously over her delicate collarbones.

Exactly as Gu Fan stepped toward the bed to assess her condition, the translucent blue system interface violently flashed directly in front of his eyes, accompanied by a blaring, highly urgent red warning.

[Ding!]

[System Alert: The Host’s parasitic target, Song Yan, has severely overdrawn her Spiritual Qi during combat, leaving her completely vulnerable to the Yin-Consuming Heart-Rotting Gu! If not treated immediately, her meridians will completely collapse, and she will permanently die in exactly three hours.]

[Would the Host like to view your current status parameters to assess treatment options?]

"I know what to do just open the system shop right now," Gu Fan commanded mentally, completely ignoring his own stats because he absolutely did not care about numbers when a woman he actually desired was dying on his bed.

He rapidly scrolled through the massive, highly extensive catalog of premium alchemy products, actively bypassing the cheap, low-grade suppression potions until his sharp green eyes finally locked onto exactly what he needed.

[Immortal Jade Heart Lotus Pill]

[Grade: Emperor Grade Cost: 700,000 Medium-Grade Spirit Crystals]

[Effect: Instantly removes all poisons, curses, and parasites. Additionally, it reconstructs damaged meridians, enhances cultivation talent, completely restores the host’s cultivation to its peak levels, and permanently increases future cultivation speed.]

Gu Fan remembered this when he was first searching for treatment options for Song Yan. that time he did not have the Spirit Stones to purchase it. But now thanks to the old hags loot, he had more than enough Spirit stones.

[Does the Host wish to purchase this supreme item?]

Gu Fan didn’t even hesitate for a single microsecond, instantly confirming the purchase because he possessed far too much looted wealth to even think twice about spending seven hundred thousand crystals to save her life.

With a faint flash of golden light, the pristine, incredibly fragrant Emperor Grade pill materialized directly into his palm, radiating a warm, incredibly pure medicinal aura that instantly made the surrounding air feel lighter.

[The has already breached her heart meridian, actively injecting boiling Yang essence into her body through deep physical dual cultivation will aggressively accelerate the pill’s treatment process and completely maximize her future cultivation benefits.]

"I was already planning on that," Gu Fan smirked warmly, slowly unfastening his black silk robes and letting them drop to the cold stone floor before he gently sat down on the very edge of the stone bed.

Song Yan whimpered pathetically, her dark eyes entirely glazed over with absolute, unadulterated pain and sheer physical desperation as her cursed body practically starved for his heat, desperately reaching her pale hands out to grab his muscular arms.

"Shh, I have got you, Yan’er,"
