The Blood Spirit Pill can help disciples whose bloodlines have reached a higher level increase their probability of entering the ninth rank by fifty percent!
"Ninth-rank bloodline!"
Her eyes shot out dazzling light. Once she possessed a ninth-rank bloodline, her future prospects would be immeasurable.
At that time, she would no longer be a waste!
"Our Qin family will also usher in a brilliant future, and you, Qin Yu, are destined to be nothing more than a stepping stone for me, Qin Xuewei!" Qin Xuewei clenched her fist.
Her willpower was a thousand times tougher than that of ordinary women. After a brief hesitation, she resolutely chose to consume the Blood Spirit Pill.
As the Blood Spirit Pill was swallowed, a torrent of energy was instantly released. This energy was extremely terrifying, spreading through her limbs and bones, instantly healing her injuries.
At the same time, a severe pain surged through her mind, like millions of ants gnawing at her.
This pain caused Qin Xuewei's beautiful face to contort with agony, appearing ferocious.
"This is... pain, real pain, several times stronger than when Qin Yu crippled me back then!" Her body convulsed uncontrollably, sweat pouring out as if she had just emerged from water.
Yet, her eyes shone with brilliant light. The more intense the pain, the higher the bloodline and the greater the potential.
If she could reach the eighth rank, perhaps she would have a chance to rise against the heavens and become one of the top prodigies in the southern region.
At that time, who would dare to bully her?
Who would dare to mock her?
She would be the phoenix soaring through the clouds!
"Hmph!"
She snorted coldly, gritted her teeth, and continued to circulate her energy to resist the pain. It lasted for an hour before the agony lessened by half.
Qin Xuewei opened her eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and stood up. She looked towards the window, her gaze suddenly narrowing, "Something seems amiss over there."
She took small steps, tiptoeing to the doorway. Peeking through the gap, her pupils abruptly contracted.
Qin Yu!
In the courtyard, Qin Yu sat cross-legged on the ground. A ball of golden powder floated around him.
"Is this... Demon Dissolving Powder?" Qin Xuewei's expression immediately turned ugly. Qin Yu had actually consumed Demon Dissolving Powder, no wonder he was smoking all over.
"Damn beast, to actually use Demon Dissolving Powder." Qin Xuewei's face was ashen.
Demon Dissolving Powder was an extremely evil poison. It was said that one grain could kill an ordinary saint, and even those in the Saint Fetus realm had to be wary of it.
This poison was very rare and incredibly valuable. Even the Qin family found it difficult to procure. Where did Qin Yu get it from?
Furthermore, the toxicity of Demon Dissolving Powder was contagious. After Qin Yu ingested a grain, the poison would gradually act up within him, eventually causing his entire body to rot and die.
Qin Yu was indeed forced, but Qin Xuewei believed this was Qin Yu deliberately framing her. After all, that man had always disliked her and wished nothing more than to crush her into the mud.
This was also the fundamental reason why she was willing to defy Qin Yu's will today and save him.
"Bastard, Qin Yu, just you wait. Once I resolve the Qin family's crisis, I will definitely find someone to flay you alive and grind your bones to dust!"
Qin Xuewei cursed angrily and turned to leave. However, as soon as she moved, her pale face flushed red again, and her body trembled as she spat out blood once more.
"How long will I have to endure this time?"
Qin Xuewei bit her red lips, hating inwardly, "If I can't break through to the Martial Master realm, I won't be able to detoxify the Blood Spirit Pill."
At this moment, there was a rapid knocking at the door. Qin Xuewei quickly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, calmed her mind, and said, "Please come in."
Creak—
The door slowly opened, and a maid respectfully entered, saying, "Second Miss, the Master wishes for you to come over. He says he has some good news to announce."
Qin Xuewei frowned and asked, "Did he say what good news it is?"
"I heard it's that the Eldest Young Master has woken up," the maid replied, shaking her head.
"What? Brother is awake?" Qin Xuewei's expression changed drastically. She quickly got dressed and hurried out of the room towards the assembly hall.
At this time, in the assembly hall, many elders of the Qin family were gathered, and the atmosphere was lively.
"Father, what do you want me for?" Qin Xuewei walked in gracefully, her gentle voice like a spring breeze.
Although she was considered a waste, her shy demeanor attracted the frequent glances of many elders.
"Hahahaha!" Qin Yuanba clapped his hands and laughed. "Your second uncle and I have discussed it, and we've decided to arrange for you to marry into the Li family. We hope you'll quickly give birth to direct descendants for our Qin family and continue our lineage."
As he spoke, Qin Yuanba's face was filled with deep satisfaction.
His gaze towards Qin Xuewei was filled with paternal affection, as if looking at a child he had raised for many years.
Qin Xuewei was stunned upon hearing this. She hadn't expected her father to be so eager to marry her off to the Li family.
"Xuewei, I know this is asking you to compromise," Qin Yuanba said with emotion.
Qin Xuewei forced a smile and replied softly, "Father, I don't feel wronged. Anyway, I'll be a woman of the Li family sooner or later, so it makes no difference who I marry."
"You're sensible!" Qin Yuanba nodded with satisfaction, then added, "However, this matter cannot be decided hastily. I will send people to investigate first and discuss it with your mother once it's confirmed, to prevent you from being wronged."
Qin Xuewei nodded in understanding.
No matter what, she was still a direct descendant of the Qin family, while the Li family was merely a nouveau riche. The Qin family's resources would naturally prioritize their own kin, and they absolutely would not let the Li family gain an advantage.
A moment later, Qin Yuanba departed.
When Qin Xuewei was alone in the room, a hint of darkness flickered across her face, and a cold voice drifted from her cherry-red lips, "Qin Yu, this time, let's see how you escape!"
...
In the early morning, as the sun just began to rise, the Qin family's training grounds were already filled with many clan members.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on a platform. On the platform, two figures were engaged in a fierce battle.
One was burly and strong, his muscles like reinforced concrete. Every blow he delivered stirred up gusts of wind like surging waves.
The other person, handsome in appearance, was now bruised and battered to the extreme. With one move, he was defeated, completely losing any chance of recovery.
"Qin Hu wins!" the announcer shouted.
Qin Hu's face showed arrogance. He stepped on Qin Yu, looked down at him, and said, "Remember this, you are just a dog raised by our Qin family. You'll never change that reality. From now on, when you see me, give way and bow."
Qin Yu's cheeks flushed red, his chest heaving. He struggled to get up, his eyes blazing as he stared at Qin Hu and roared, "I am the sole heir of the Qin family's third generation! If you dare to touch me, my Qin family will be irreconcilably opposed to you!"
"Haha, irreconcilably opposed? Who is Qin Hu afraid of?" Qin Hu sneered, then slapped out, "Slap."
A clear handprint immediately appeared on Qin Yu's left cheek. He staggered back, almost falling to the ground.
"So what if you're the Qin family's sole heir of the third generation? You're just a useless piece of trash!" Qin Hu taunted. His gaze then flickered towards Qin Xuewei in the distance, and he grinned lewdly, "Sister Xuewei, you are so beautiful. Don't worry, when I marry you, I will love you dearly."
