?Shi Lang stood up reflexively and said, "Young Miss Meng, can you please mind your words? I am a married man."

Young Miss Meng was stunned and asked, "What did you say?"

Her eyes were open wide as if Shi Lang had said something completely out of the world. The Terran nodded and said, "I am not lying. I am married, and my wife participates in the Centurion Tournament."

Young Miss Meng clenched her fist and asked, "Is it Lady Yun?"

Shi Lang shook his head, and the young lady said, "I see. I will meet her in the future. For now, let me introduce myself. I am Meng Xueyan. You can call me Xueyan, or Xiao Yan."

This sudden display of familiarity took aback the Terran. He was not a very communicative person unless it was anything that brought him benefits. As he thought about what to do, a young man walked out of the woods. Shi Lang recognized this person and said, "Young Master Meng, can you please get a hold of your sister? Tell her she cannot and should not just propose to anyone for a marriage."

Young Master Meng looked deeply at her sister and said, "Xiao Yan, how many times do I have to tell you to please be like other women if you want to find a partner?"

Meng Xueyan turned to look at her brother and said, "You mind your own business. You speak as if you are very experienced in relationships."

Shi Lang was confused about how the siblings started quibbling with each other. He frowned and turned around to leave. Meng Xueyan noticed this and turned to ask, "Where are you going, Young Master Ace?"

Her tone was mellow, and it made Shi Lang shiver. He said, "I have things to do, Young Miss Meng. Please stop bothering me."

That said, Shi Lang vanished from his spot and rushed deep inside the forest. Meng Xueyan was going to chase after him, and her brother tried to stop her. They began to fight with each other. The battle was not too dangerous, but they both were brutal to each other.

...

Shi Lang reached the regroup point and found his team. Yun Xue was cultivating while Yao Jiming and Mel were guarding the place. The latter looked troubled, and Shi Lang asked, "Sister Mel, what happened?"

The lady replied, "It is nothing, Young Master."

However, she evaded his gaze. Shi Lang furrowed his brows and said, "I will give you a chance to come clean because if I use my means, you will lose my trust. No matter what, I will not judge you as long as you trust me."

Yao Jiming was alarmed by this conversation and turned to look at the two people. Shi Lang did not say anything, but he kept looking at Mel. The lady tried to speak up a few times, but after a few minutes, she said, "Young Master, earlier, when I was fighting with Demonic Beasts, I got infected by the demon energy of the beast I was fighting."

Shi Lang was surprised, and he appeared next to her. He said, "Give me your hand."

Mel was taken aback, but then she nodded and raised her arm. Shi Lang condensed a thread from his spiritual energy and wrapped it around her wrist. He asked, "You have been feeling waves of violent tendencies surfacing in your heart?"

Mel nodded. Shi Lang said, "I can treat it right now, and I promise the energy will be completely cleaned, but would you be able to tolerate that much pain?"

The lady opened her eyes wide after hearing his words. She asked, "What pain?"

Shi Lang took a deep breath before saying, "I will have to channel my spiritual energy through your meridians. You have been using your spiritual energy to prevent the demonic energy from entering deep into your body. The pain from the cleansing will be colonized inside the affected meridian, but it will be something that might make you wish for death."

Mel thought briefly, saying, "It is better than becoming a mindless beast, Young Master. I will follow your advice."

Shi Lang took a leather braid and said, "Bite on it when you feel the pain. It will prevent you from biting your tongue."

Mel nodded and placed the braided leather strip in her mouth. Shi Lang looked at Yao Jiming and said, "Place spiritual sense linked on her. If she tries to attack me or herself, contain her."

Yao Jiming replied, "Yes, Young Master."

Shi Lang said, "If you tried to resist my spiritual energy, it will explode inside your meridians, and you will die. When I Inject my spiritual energy inside your meridians, keep retracting your spiritual energy, and then, when I reach your affected meridian. Isolate your spiritual energy inside your dantian, and I will seal it."

Mel had her doubts, but she could only nod. The situation was tricky, but she had no way to get away from it. The treatment outside was too costly and was very slow in producing results. She decided to take the free and quick but painful option.

Shi Lang and Mel sat opposite each other, and the Terran started infusing minuscule wisps of spiritual energy into her body. The crimson lightning energy was a bane to poison and demonic energy but was also very destructive. Shi Lang did not want to injure Mel and make things worse for her.

He was very careful in his proceedings. It was as if his spiritual energy had grown eyes of its own. The wisps felt the meridians and moved along the meridian walls. Shi Lang closed his eyes, but his spiritual sense focused on mapping every little change in Mel. At this moment, she was very calm and even enjoyed the warmth of lightning energy.

Time grew wings. Yun Xue woke up from meditation and learned about the situation from Yao Jiming. She also joined the guard. Meanwhile, the city square was exploding.

...

In the square, things looked different. Zhu Liang and Zhu Tian stared at the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion people with death glares. If their eyes could kill, they would have massacred the whole lot of people here. However, the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion was not afraid of the two of them.

Yang Tie will slay them if they even raise a weapon facing the pavilion. However, the shock was not the quick dismissal of the two young masters but how Shi Lang treated Mel.

Someone asked, "How can he put Mel through such a method? Also, I have never heard of such a treatment plan before."

Another person replied, "That is because the users of lightning elements are rarer than rare. Also, what is pain when it can save you money and significantly cut time."

City Lord Pie asked, "Pavilion Lord Yang, do you know this technique?"

Yang Tie pondered briefly before he replied, "His Excellency Heavenly Dragon once told me that Young Master Ace once suffered severe demonic energy infection when he was fighting an entire horde of them, and to make sure that he survived, Young Master Shi washed his body with sword intent and lightning."

The people gasped collectively; they had not expected Shi Lang to be such a daredevil. Zhu Tian clenched his fist as he looked at the spiritual energy screen. Zhu Liang nodded and said, "Only he can pull off something like this. You can watch them play. I am heading home and will leave for the frontier."

Zhu Tian was shocked and asked, "Do you want to go back so early? What happened?'

Zhu Liang looked at him and replied, "Did you not leave me inside to die back there? I will leave you here. You can come when ready, but I wish to fight that monster again and defeat him."

That said, Zhu Liang did not wait on his elder brother and walked away. The crowd did not know how to react to this feud. Shi Lang spared Zhu Liang and even showed him compassion by accepting to fight with him in the future.

..

Meanwhile, back inside the secret realm, Shi Lang slowly infused spiritual energy into Mel's body. After seven hours, he said, "You can seal your dantian."

Mel nodded anxiously, retracting all her spiritual energy inside her body and sealing it inside her dantian. The demonic energy that she was holding off began to run wild. Shi Lang was prepared, and his lightning energy charged inside. The Terran formed a barrier at the opening of the meridian to prevent the demonic energy from rushing out.

The clash began, and finally, Mel understood the gravity of the situation. She never realized that the pain would be so deadly. She bit on the leather braids and let out loud groans. The voice was so loud that it woke Yun Xue from her meditation.

Mel suddenly raised her hand to slap her forehead, as the pain was exceeding her limits. She wanted to crush her forehead. However, Yao Jiming moved in quickly and used his spiritual energy to hold her in a place. The young man looked at a sweaty Shi Lang and gulped.

He was sure that if it were not for Shi Lang's prior warning, Mel would have died and her brain would have splattered all over the place.
