Chapter 211: Master, save me!

If the pain during the day was due to her converting too much magical energy at once, then what about now? Was it because she had overexerted her powers?

But regardless of the cause, Yun Qingxue only knew one thing—she was in so much pain that she felt like she was about to die!

As she watched Yun Sisi summon the dark mist again, Yun Qingxue felt she no longer had the strength to dispel it one more time. The agony in her body and the exhaustion of her magical energy left her on the verge of passing out.

With no obstacles in the way, Yun Sisi’s dark miasma quickly gathered momentum, spreading toward Yun Qingxue just as before. And she continued to produce more of it without end.

That woman had managed to dispel her dark miasma once, but Yun Sisi refused to believe she could do it twice—or even three times!

*Hiss, hiss, hiss…*

The faint sound was scattered by the night wind. Yun Qingxue forced herself to stay upright, but she could only watch helplessly as Yun Sisi’s dark mist advanced toward her. Knowing she had no strength left to stop Yun Sisi, Yun Qingxue suddenly cried out as the black fog enveloped her once more:

**“Master, save me!”**

The night sky stretched endlessly, and the wind carried her desperate plea far into the distance.

**“Qingxue can’t hold on any longer!”** Mo Changxing said urgently.

Purple Melody Saint glanced at him and replied calmly, **“I know. Go and save her.”**

With that, Purple Melody Saint withdrew his barrier, and under the night sky, the three figures appeared out of thin air.

Yun Sisi was startled by Yun Qingxue’s sudden cry for help. Before she could react, she saw Purple Melody Saint and the others materialize before her. With the Saint’s permission, Mo Changxing and Jin Lin immediately flew to the rescue.

Before they even reached her, their spells were already unleashed toward Yun Sisi, who was still controlling the dark mist.

Yun Sisi panicked and dodged frantically, but a surge of hatred welled up inside her.

*Brother Changxing didn’t even ask what happened—he attacked me the moment he appeared!*

*Is he really protecting that woman so fiercely? Why?! We grew up together in the demon realm! How could all those years of companionship mean less to him than some outsider?!*

*He must have been bewitched by her looks! Yes, that’s it!*

Gritting her teeth, Yun Sisi realized that since Mo Changxing had already seen her attacking Yun Qingxue, stopping now would be pointless. Even if she killed that woman, Brother Changxing might be angry, but he wouldn’t do anything too severe to her. So… why not go all the way?

With her mind made up, Yun Sisi continued dodging Jin Lin and Mo Changxing’s attacks while summoning even thicker, more concentrated black mist to engulf Yun Qingxue. She was confident—if that woman touched her dark miasma, she would either die or be disfigured!

**“I’ll dispel the mist—you deal with that lunatic!”** Jin Lin said hastily before rushing toward Yun Qingxue. In the blink of an eye, his body transformed into his true form—a massive golden dragon.

The clear night sky darkened instantly as storm clouds gathered, and a bolt of lightning split the heavens.

Then, something bizarre happened—torrential rain began pouring from the sky! But the rain was strange—while thunder and lightning filled the entire sky, the downpour was concentrated only in the small area where Yun Qingxue stood.

The rain formed a watery barrier between Yun Qingxue and the black mist, isolating her from its effects.

With the protective shield in place, Jin Lin’s enormous dragon maw opened wide as he took a deep breath—he was going to blow away that damned black mist!

*Hiss, hiss…*

The faint sound was drowned out by the surrounding commotion. The thick black mist rapidly gathered in one spot before vanishing completely.

Before Jin Lin could even exhale, the dark fog surrounding Yun Qingxue had disappeared!

As the mist dissipated, A’dai’s body was revealed—now a deep shade of purple-black. The black mist had been entirely absorbed into his tiny form.

But A’dai didn’t stop there. Thin threads of black mist continued flowing into his body from other directions.

**“Thud!”**

A muffled impact sounded as Yun Sisi, still stubbornly dodging, was struck down by Mo Changxing’s attack.

With the source of the black mist gone, A’dai finally stopped absorbing it. His tiny mouth opened slightly, and he let out a satisfied burp.

Jin Lin, who had been holding his breath to unleash a powerful gust, was caught off guard by A’dai’s sudden intervention. He swallowed the air back down with an audible *gulp* before reverting to human form. With a wave of his hand, the watery shield protecting Yun Qingxue vanished.

As everything settled, the storm clouds quickly dispersed, and the night returned to its serene state—starlit and clear, with a gentle breeze.

Yun Qingxue forced a faint smile despite the pain coursing through her body.

**“Mistress!”** Daise cried, rushing over to support her.

**“Xuexue, are you alright?”** Jin Lin asked, his brows furrowed with worry.

**“I’m fine, just… a little tired,”** Yun Qingxue replied, feigning nonchalance.

**“Are you really okay?”**

Having subdued the still-scheming Yun Sisi with a single move, Mo Changxing also hurried over to check on Yun Qingxue.

She smiled. **“I’m really fine—just exhausted. I’d like to go back to my room and rest.”**

Mo Changxing studied her for a moment but saw no obvious signs of distress. He turned to Daise and instructed, **“Take your mistress back to her room and attend to her properly.”**

**“Yes,”** Daise nodded, gently guiding Yun Qingxue toward the house.

At the doorway, Yun Qingxue suddenly paused and said, **“I need to meditate and recuperate tonight. Don’t come in.”**

Daise frowned slightly, still concerned, but she dared not disobey. **“Then I’ll wait outside the door. If you need anything, just call for me.”**

**“Mm.”** Yun Qingxue gave a faint acknowledgment before pushing the door open, her body trembling from the pain. Once inside, she closed the door firmly behind her without looking back.

The shut doors cut off all sight of the night outside. Weakly, Yun Qingxue staggered toward her bed. But after just two steps, she felt her blood surge backward, and the magical energy that had been resting in her dantian began rampaging uncontrollably through her body.

She gasped in pain, but the moment she opened her mouth, a mouthful of blood spilled out.

Her heart throbbed violently, and her entire body ached as if it were being torn apart.

Yun Qingxue forced herself to reach the bed and collapse onto it, utterly bewildered.

*In my fight with Yun Sisi, I struggled, but I wasn’t injured at all. So why is my body reacting like this?*

*Something’s not right…*

As she pondered, the pain gradually subsided somewhat, but a surge of energy continued churning violently between her dantian and chest. The discomfort overwhelmed her, and she lost consciousness.
