Deng Tianyu had considered transmitting the Sword Intent through her back.
But the heart was situated in the chest cavity. Transmitting it from the back corresponding to the heart meant the distance would be somewhat longer.
And over such a short distance, it encompassed the various meridians within the body. If his control slipped and an accident occurred, there would be no time for regret.
Aunt Rong’s cultivation level wasn’t high. If her internal meridians were injured by the Sword Intent, there would be no way to save her!
Therefore, for the sake of safety and caution, choosing the front chest position was the most appropriate.
Deng Tianyu knew this, and so did Qu Qirong.
That was why Qu Qirong was the first to make the decision, sparing Deng Tianyu the awkwardness.
One had to admit, she truly was a considerate and sensible elder!
In the room, Ling’er widened her blue eyes as she watched Deng Tianyu and her Madam enter the inner chamber.
At this, no small waves were stirred in her heart, without a doubt.
She had heard about Deng Tianyu from Qing’er—that he was a junior of the Madam’s, and an exceptionally outstanding man at that.
The various new-style robes and the many merchant route strategies from before had all come from his hand.
But she hadn’t known that Deng Tianyu’s relationship with her Madam was so intimate—intimate enough that the two could be alone together in a room.
Of course, Ling’er also understood that nothing untoward could possibly happen inside.
Most likely, Deng Tianyu possessed some mysterious method that could substitute for the Ice Soul Heart-Protecting Pill.
After all, the Madam had just stated that the pill was no longer needed, from which one could deduce that the reason it wasn’t needed was because of him.
However, even after reasoning this out, Ling’er remained intensely curious about Deng Tianyu.
Because, in her impression, the Madam had never been this close with any man.
Even with that Clan Leader father of hers in the clan, the Madam had only ever shown cold indifference!
From the words just spoken, Ling’er could clearly sense an indescribable tenderness in the Madam’s attitude toward Deng Tianyu.
Just as her thoughts were running wild, Qu Qirong’s voice reached her ears: “Ling’er, in a moment, you will act on Tianyu’s orders!”
“Yes, Madam!” Ling’er responded respectfully and immediately gathered her focus.
Meanwhile, in the inner chamber, Deng Tianyu and Qu Qirong sat facing each other, the atmosphere slightly charged with intimacy.
Sitting on the embroidered bed, he could clearly smell Aunt Rong’s rich, fragrant scent.
Under their mutual gaze, Qu Qirong found her own breath coming in short, rapid gasps and couldn’t help but clench her teeth, suppressing the panic and shame in her heart.
“Begin, Tianyu!”
She finished speaking, her delicate body tensed up, and she closed her beautiful eyes. That short sentence seemed to have drained all her strength.
If one looked closely, they would notice that not only was her mature, beautiful face touched with a charming peach-blossom red, but even her crystal-clear jade earlobes were suffused with a rosy luster.
At this moment, Qu Qirong was curled up with her slender, well-proportioned legs bent, her slender hands tightly clenched together. Her voluptuous, graceful body leaned slightly forward, making the softness wrapped in the plain garment even more magnificent.
Deng Tianyu drew a deep breath: “Aunt Rong, here I come!”
The moment he said it, he felt the words seemed somewhat off.
A certain skit inexplicably came to mind.
On their wedding night, a husband embraced his wife and said three things when they consummated the marriage.
Wife, here I come!
Wife, can I continue?
Wife, I’m done. What about you?
Deng Tianyu shook his head, calmed his mind, and abandoned all stray thoughts. He formed a false grip with his right hand and condensed the two strands of Spring Vitality and Winter Hiding Sword Intent.
The Sword Intent suddenly materialized, and an extremely sharp aura flickered in and out of existence, causing the bed curtains nearby to tremble several times.
This was Deng Tianyu’s control over Sword Intent—exquisitely fine and masterfully subtle.
As the two Sword Intents were transmitted through his palm, the powerful Sword Intent seemed to form a sword net, completely enveloping and covering the entire chest area.
Streaks of nearly imperceptible Sword Intent, passing through tiny pores, gradually entered Qu Qirong’s body.
“Ngh~”
Qu Qirong let out a soft gasp, her long eyelashes fluttering. Her voluptuous body, which had been leaning forward, now arched backward, her three thousand strands of black hair cascading down, and her pair of arms, white as snow and frost, braced behind her on the embroidered pillow.
Though her entire body was taut with tension, she dared not make a single sound, terrified of disturbing Deng Tianyu.
“The process of removing the Heart-Controlling Gu might be somewhat long this time. Bear with it, Aunt Rong!”
While keeping his senses fully extended and controlling the Sword Intent with extreme care, Deng Tianyu slowly enveloped the heart’s various areas. At the same time, he spoke with concern.
What he had to do next was not complicated, but it was exceedingly dangerous.
First, he would use the Spring Vitality Sword Intent and Winter Hiding Sword Intent to cover every part of Aunt Rong’s heart with a sword membrane. Then, he would have Ling’er control the Gu Mother to issue a command, making the Gu bug come out of her body.
Throughout this process, he had to maintain control over the situation at all times, guarding against any unforeseen mishaps!
“I-it’s fine, Tianyu… continue!”
Under the overlapping protection of the two Sword Intents, a trembling sensation swept through, and her full bosom swayed unceasingly.
Qu Qirong clenched her teeth, her voice quivering, her jade hands gripping the embroidered pillow so tightly that her pale fingertips sank into it.
At this moment, besides that numbing, tingling sensation, she could also feel a piercing, bone-chilling cold spreading within her, only to be quickly dispelled by a soft, gentle warmth.
The Spring Vitality Sword Intent represented flourishing life, endless vitality.
The Winter Hiding Sword Intent represented a world of ice and snow, boundless cold.
When the two Sword Intents merged, the protective sword membrane they formed could not only shield the heart’s various meridians but also prevent accidents by repairing injuries in time.
Most critically, the Ice Cold Sword Intent was the bane of Gu creatures, allowing him to properly handle the Heart-Controlling Gu in Aunt Rong’s body!
Of course, the heart’s various areas were also susceptible to erosion by the Winter Hiding Sword Intent. Therefore, Deng Tianyu controlled it extremely carefully, even covering the innermost layer with Spring Vitality Sword Intent, afraid of causing her any harm.
“The Heart-Controlling Gu!”
Suddenly, Deng Tianyu’s expression focused. He sensed a snow-white, eight-legged insect slumbering in a meridian extremely close to the heart.
“Aunt Rong, please bear with it a little longer. Although the Spring Vitality Sword Intent is neutralizing the two combined Sword Intents, there will still be some piercing, bone-chilling cold eroding you.”
“Once the two Sword Intents completely cover all the meridians in the chest area and form the sword membrane, we can begin removing the Heart-Controlling Gu!”
Deng Tianyu concentrated all his attention on controlling the Sword Intent inside Aunt Rong’s body, not daring to relax in the slightest.
The situation now was that, while the Heart-Controlling Gu was still asleep, he had to silently cover the entire chest area with the sword membrane, and also block off the area below, leaving only one route leading to her mouth!
Half a beat later, the sword membrane was fully in place, and Deng Tianyu immediately transmitted his voice: “Miss Ling’er, you may begin.”
“Alright!” Ling’er outside didn’t dare be negligent. She formed a Profound Cold Seal and touched it to the Heart-Controlling Gu Mother.
In an instant, the Heart-Controlling Gu Mother opened its fang-filled mouth and emitted a strange, hissing sound.
Under that hissing sound, the Heart-Controlling Gu inside Qu Qirong’s body trembled and abruptly opened its eyes, beginning to search around.
Once it realized that the call of bloodline was not coming from within, it immediately tried to burrow out from its current location.
But the entire heart was wrapped in the Spring Vitality and Winter Hiding Sword Intents. The Heart-Controlling Gu madly attacked the surroundings with all eight legs, trying to bore a hole and leave Qu Qirong’s heart area.
