[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 42

Chapter 42: Dark Tides in the Cold Pool

Dugu Yuan’an flicked a finger force, hitting Xue Mu’s palm center. Then her left hand quickly pressed twice on Xue Mu’s “Baihui” and “Shuigou” acupoints, shouting, “Mu’er! Look at me!”

Xue Mu was in a frenzy of pain, glaring at her with red eyes. Dugu Yuan’an controlled her struggling body, tapping her “Danzhong,” “Shenmen,” and “Jiquan” acupoints with her fingers. Then she turned her body over and pressed on her “Xinshu” acupoint with internal energy, shouting sternly, “Activate the Secret Heart-Protecting Technique!”

Having several acupoints connected to the heart vessels pressed, the Secret Heart-Protecting Technique spontaneously activated to resist the Gu worm. Her reason returned slightly. Subconsciously listening to Dugu Yuan’an’s words, she held her breath and concentrated, reciting the mantra of the Secret Heart-Protecting Technique silently three times. The sharp pain in her chest suddenly reduced by half!

“Mu’er,” Dugu Yuan’an called softly. “Mu’er, don’t be afraid. If there is an imbalance between the Fire Poison, the Gu worm, and the Secret Heart-Protecting Technique, you will be in extreme pain. Don’t be afraid, listen to me, suppress the Gu worm first…”

As she spoke, Xue Mu smelled the metallic scent of blood in her mouth. Xue Mu suddenly opened her eyes, staring straight at Dugu Yuan’an, dark tides surging in her eyes. Dugu Yuan’an said, “I’m fine, you stabilize first.”

Xue Mu closed her eyes again. When the Gu worm was suppressed by the Secret Heart-Protecting Technique and driven away from the vicinity of the heart vessels, the Fire Poison in her body began to stir again, sweeping through her whole body.

Dugu Yuan’an readjusted her disordered internal breath and helped Xue Mu soothe the Fire Poison in her body. But learning from the lesson, she expelled her internal energy slower and less this time. It could suppress the Fire Poison without making the Gu worm too strong. Coupled with the continuous operation of Xue Mu’s Secret Heart-Protecting Technique, they finally survived the entire Hour of the Horse.

After the Hour of the Horse, the Yang energy slowly weakened, but still couldn’t be underestimated. Dugu Yuan’an slowly released her palm, feeling that most of her body was numb from soaking in the ice water. She came out of the cold pool first and took off her wet clothes.

Some clean clothes hung on the stone wall beside the cold pool, and Dugu Yuan’an’s sable fur coat was still hanging on the wheelchair. Using her lightness skill, she flew to the wheelchair, went to the stone wall to take two pieces of Xue Mu’s clothes and put them on, then looked at the cold pool.

After this ordeal, part of the glacial ice in the cold pool had melted. Soaking in the cold pool, Xue Mu slowly swam towards Dugu Yuan’an’s direction, her eyes still red.

Her eyes flashed with strange colors, and the expression on her face seemed very urgent, yet somewhat forbearing and resistant. Seeing her expression was wrong, Dugu Yuan’an hurriedly pushed the wheelchair towards the edge of the cold pool. “Mu’er, are you still uncomfortable?”

Xue Mu grabbed the stone wall, her three fingers forming a claw, actually scratching three long marks on the stone wall. She shook her head but was gasping for breath. Watching her chest heaving violently underwater, Dugu Yuan’an’s breathing also involuntarily lightened.

“Mu’er, where does it hurt?”

Xue Mu’s brows and eyes revealed unbearable suffering. She shook her head vigorously, gritting her teeth to squeeze out a voice: “I’m fine… just…”

Dugu Yuan’an’s expression became stern. “Just what?!”

“I… I’m so hot…” Xue Mu murmured. “Yuan’er, leave quickly…”

Hearing her say this, Dugu Yuan’an was naturally worried. She had to get off the wheelchair and sit by the edge of the cold pool. Just as she was about to reach out, Xue Mu stared at her wearing her own outer robe, suddenly felt a strange irritability, reached out, and tore off the hem of her robe!

Dugu Yuan’an was startled. “Mu’er?!”

Xue Mu’s mind began to blur again. She clutched her head, feeling her body limp and uncomfortable, as if a raging fire was blocked at her Dantian, burning her fiercely, urgently needing to be vented!

She realized the problem, so she turned her back to avoid Dugu Yuan’an and shouted, “Get out! Get out!”

Dugu Yuan’an was stunned. Ignoring that these clothes were freshly changed, she jumped into the cold pool with a splash, hugging Xue Mu from behind, her palm anxious to cover the position of her lower Dantian—

Unexpectedly, Xue Mu’s body suddenly trembled, emitting a gasp in her arms. Worried that her Fire Poison was triggered again, Dugu Yuan’an hurriedly circulated internal energy to her palm. Before she could expel it, Xue Mu suddenly broke free, murmuring about discomfort while wrapping her arms around Dugu Yuan’an’s neck.

Dugu Yuan’an was kissed by her frantically. The two leaned against the stone wall. There were stone steps in the cold pool. Dugu Yuan’an sat on the stone steps, staring at Xue Mu who couldn’t sober up completely. Just as she was about to press the acupoint on top of her head, her wrist was grabbed by Xue Mu.

“Yuan’er, Yuan’er, Yuan’er…” Xue Mu grabbed her hand, shaking her head desperately while pressing her lips to the inside of her wrist.

Looking at her flushed cheeks, Dugu Yuan’an suddenly realized something.

Could it be that this Fire Poison…

Xue Mu shouted anxiously, “Yuan’er! My Fire Poison flared up again! Send me Soul Cold internal energy quickly!”

Dugu Yuan’an’s eyes flashed, and she said, “Okay, I’ll send you internal energy.”

Xue Mu leaned against the stone wall, embracing and kissing Dugu Yuan’an.

Dugu Yuan’an’s eyes were very deep and dark, like a black abyss. Xue Mu gazed at her obsessively and couldn’t help calling out, “Yuan’er…”

“Shh—” Dugu Yuan’an kissed her, murmuring, “Mu’er, you must know that everything happening here cannot be known to the outside world.”

“Yuan’er, Yuan’er, what are you doing…” Xue Mu stared at her helplessly, her toes gripping the stone steps in the cold pool tightly. “I… I said I’m uncomfortable, Fire Poison, you need to channel internal energy to alleviate my Fire Poison…”

“Giving it to you,” Dugu Yuan’an said softly, touching her key acupoints with finger techniques, transmitting internal energy to her. “Giving it all to you…”

Xue Mu’s eyes widened, wanting to struggle. “Yuan’er…! Dugu, Dugu Yuan’an! You are doing what to me—!”

“The day of the full moon hasn’t passed yet. What if your poison flares up again?” Dugu Yuan’an lowered her head to kiss her forehead. Soul Cold internal energy gathered at her fingertips, and she said calmly in her ear, “I asked Zi’ang to find some paintings. Very interesting.”

Xue Mu said, “What paint… paintings… Ah!”

Dugu Yuan’an smiled without speaking. Layers of curtains outside the cold pool fluttered with the gentle breeze, concealing the figures of the two.
