Wang Fugui and others noticed what was happening to Qi Jiao, and naturally, Ye Fan noticed it too!


    Earlier in the square, Ye Fan had sensed the dragon pattern on Qi Jiao''s body, and the faint sound of a dragon''s chant. At that time, he wasn''t certain, but now, he clearly saw that one of the Nine Dragon Patterns on his chest began to emit a dazzling flow of light, as if it were responding to the dragon shape on Qi Jiao''s body.


    And Qi Jiao''s petite and exquisite waist at that moment seemed to exert an infinite attraction on Ye Fan, as if it were drawing his hand towards her daintily formed waist!


    Hiss!


    The moment Ye Fan''s wrist rested upon Qi Jiao''s petite waist, he couldn''t help but inhale sharply. A deep and powerful breath surged from Qi Jiao''s body into his own.


    It felt like a joyous reunion after a long separation, or as if a millennia of waiting had finally ended with the clouds parting to reveal the sun!


    The feeling was incredibly strange. Ye Fan looked at the ponytailed little loli in front of him, a deep frown on his brow, momentarily bewildered. It seemed that the person in front of him was deeply entwined with his own life, but he couldn''t sort out exactly what the connection was.


    "Yingying!"


    When Ye Fan''s scorching palm was upon Qi Jiao''s delicate waist, she couldn''t help but emit a soft moan, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she murmured to herself, "My king! Have I finally found you..."


    A sudden statement left Ye Fan full of questions!


    "What did you say?" Ye Fan asked intently, staring at Qi Jiao. This girl seemed to know some truth.


    What exactly was hidden behind his Nine Dragons Yang Meridian?


    Unfortunately, to Ye Fan''s disappointment, as soon as he asked, Qi Jiao immediately snapped out of her dazed state, "You...where is your hand touching? Let go of me..."


    The golden dragon-shaped light that had been circling around Qi Jiao''s body disappeared in an instant!


    Right after scolding, Qi Jiao realized her improper actions, noticing that she was entwined around Ye Fan like an octopus, and it seemed that she was the first to be indecorous.


    Her stern voice gradually weakened, and she hurriedly unwound her legs from Ye Fan, separating from him, "Um...thank you..."


    Only then did Qi Jiao realize that it must have been Ye Fan who had saved her!


    Embarrassing!


    Why was it that every time she encountered Ye Fan, it always ended up so awkward?


    What shocked Qi Jiao even more was when Ye Fan''s wrist left her side, she felt a majestic warm current enter her body and, astonishingly, in a short period of time, it rapidly formed a Martial Breath!


    Even so, the current situation was still quite thorny!


    Elder Qi''s body lacked the Flame of Inheritance, the Nine Dragons Yang Meridian, and the aid of the Immortal Path Guide. While Ye Fan could use the Flame of Inheritance to utterly burn away the Dark Power, the powerful Crimson Flame could possibly burn Elder Qi up completely as well.


    What a trouble...


    "Young Master Ye, how is it going?" Seeing Ye Fan suddenly stop his movements, Qi Yuan looked on with a worried face.


    Qi Jiao, standing nearby, frowned and said, "Ye Fan, can you do it or not? You''ve been apologized to, and jumped into the water, what more do you want? Use whatever skills you have. Are you perhaps too fixated on people''s bodies... Fine, I promise you, if you can truly heal grandfather, I''m willing to give myself to you..."


    Qi Jiao hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip, shyly uttered in exasperation, "Hmph! No man is good news!"


    "..." Ye Fan was rendered speechless. What was this all about? This silly girl, earlier at the square, when the poison had just entered her body, he wanted to save her, but was obstructed by Qi Jiao at every turn. Now, with the situation like this, Qi Jiao had to take much of the blame.


    Pfft!


    Elder Qi started to spit blood again, and this time the blood he spat was dark and thick, even his skin was starting to turn pitch black!


    From the side, Qiu Yuanji, who had regained consciousness and not yet died, seeing the situation unfolding, burst into wild laughter, "Ye Fan, stop wasting your efforts! Did you think our poison would be that simple? The Prohibition within it was set by a master at our leader''s request. Qi Debang is doomed! Unless you drain all his blood, those toxins will keep regenerating endlessly... Haha!"


    Damn it!


    Ye Fan swung his fist in irritation. Seeing Elder Qi''s situation getting worse, his brow furrowed deeply!


    Was he to just watch Elder Qi die before his very eyes?


    If Elder Qi really died, although Qi Yuan might still support him taking control of Tiankui Base, wouldn''t he hold some resentment?


    Sigh!


    What to do?


    At that moment, people like Guo Li, Wang Fugui, Yu Qiang, and Qi Yuan all looked sorrowful, anxiously watching Ye Fan with worried expressions.


    In the lake, on the fake bridge, the water continued to flow with a tinkling sound.


    Flowing water? Exchange?


    Seeing such a sight, a flash of inspiration struck Ye Fan. Eyeing Qiu Yuanji, who was still alive, he suddenly had a bold idea!


    Blood exchange...
