"I won't! Arrowhead Bro, are you really going to send me away?" Shen Yushu looked at Wei Zhao pitifully, but her tone was resolute: "I am absolutely staying with Sister Yaoyao!"
"Ha, no need to leave—you may as well stay and help." Wei Zhao had never meant to drive her out anyway; he would soon have to explain the acupuncture to Gu Mengyao, and if she balked at the idea, Shen Yushu could help talk her round.
"Yay! Arrowhead Bro really is the best!" Shen Yushu was overjoyed that she could do something for Sister Yaoyao too.
Hearing Wei Zhao say so, Gu Pengzhan breathed a sigh of relief. He was also quite at ease with Shen Yushu assisting Wei Zhao—after all, she would never harm Gu Mengyao, and would certainly give it her all.
Once inside the operating room, Wei Zhao locked the door from within. The place was thoroughly soundproofed; nothing inside could be heard from outside.
"Arrowhead Bro, are we going to save Sister Yaoyao now? What do you need me to do?" Shen Yushu asked anxiously.
"When I perform the acupuncture, Yaoyao will need to undress to cooperate. But she may have some reservations about it—can you help me persuade her?" Wei Zhao said to Shen Yushu.
"Oh, sure!" Shen Yushu nodded. "But Arrowhead Bro, you're not using this as an excuse to get a look at Sister Yaoyao's body, are you?"
"Ha..." Wei Zhao smiled. "If that's what I wanted, why would I discuss it with her? I'd just have you strip her right now."
"Oh, right!" Shen Yushu thought it over, and indeed it was so. Yet she said, "Then what is there to discuss? I will strip Sister Yaoyao's clothes off right now, and who cares whether she agrees or not!"
"Better ask her first." Wei Zhao raised a hand to stop Shen Yushu from going any further. Instead he took hold of Gu Mengyao's wrist and set the inner-energy method of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art in motion; the energy within his body surged swiftly into hers.
Before long, Gu Mengyao's lashes trembled, and she came to once more. This time, she herself sensed that something was wrong.
"Did I... faint again just now?" Gu Mengyao opened her eyes, only to find herself in an unfamiliar room; it was no longer the isolation chamber from before. Fortunately, the faces before her were still familiar ones: Wei Zhao and Xiaoshu.
"The poison is destroying the energy in your body too quickly. I can only channel my own energy into you to bring you around, and even that is only temporary. If I stop, you will lapse back into unconsciousness before long," Wei Zhao said.
"Ah!" Gu Mengyao was startled. So that was how it was. Earlier, she had thought she had already recovered. "What is wrong with me?"
"You have most likely been poisoned," Wei Zhao said.
"Then... can I still get better?" Gu Mengyao asked.
