Chapter 64 How ruthless and merciless a person he was.

At this moment, Baili Tianchang's expression was cold and composed. She gripped the dagger in her hand and began to carve away the corroded flesh from Mu Yan'er’s arm, her eyes unblinking. Her calmness was absolute, betraying not the slightest discomfort. Her demeanor was as natural as whittling a wooden stick.

What kind of ruthless and merciless person could remain so impassive in such a situation?

Hua Niaozhi couldn't help but glance at Baili Tianchang, such thoughts filling her mind.

As for Mu Yan’er, she bit down hard on her teeth, allowing Baili Tianchang to remove the ruined flesh from her arm without protest.

In the end, all the decayed muscle on half her arm was excised, leaving only blackened bone and blood vessels.

Baili Tianchang paused, then strode over to the spot where the Nine-tailed Demon Mink had exhaled its foul breath, searching carefully.

There is a common truth: if you are bitten by a venomous snake in the wild, do not panic—search carefully at the site of the bite. In such places, there will always be herbs that counteract the venom.

By the same logic, in the area the Nine-tailed Demon Mink’s venom had touched, anything that could not withstand it had already rotted away. The plants that survived the venom must possess antidotal properties.

After a meticulous search, Baili Tianchang indeed found several clumps of still-green wild grass amid the remains of decayed plants and animals.

She picked all the grass, then crushed it between her palms, squeezing out the juice. She spread the juice and the mashed grass over Mu Yan’er’s injured arm.

Then, she tore a strip from Mu Yan’er’s clothing to use as a bandage, wrapping it several times around the wound to hold the juice and crushed grass in place.

“This will preserve your arm for now. When we return, you must immediately take a Regenerative Pellet,” she said.

Seeing Baili Tianchang sincerely tending to Mu Yan’er, Nalan Di Jiu finally spoke, reminding Mu Yan’er of what she needed to do.

Once she had taken enough Regenerative Pellets, the muscles on Mu Yan’er’s wounded arm would regrow, and her arm would be restored as before.

Of course, without Nalan Di Jiu’s reminder, Baili Tianchang would never have known such a thing as the Regenerative Pellet even existed in the Star Dream Continent.

This was precisely why Nalan Di Jiu was so eager to obtain an encyclopedia for her—her knowledge was woefully limited.

“Thank you, Prince Jiu. Thank you, Miss Baili,” Mu Yan’er said, deeply moved by their life-saving kindness.

“Look out for yourself,” was all Nalan Di Jiu replied, unmoved by Mu Yan’er’s thanks. Only Baili Tianchang offered her a reminder.

Mu Yan’er understood the meaning in Baili Tianchang’s words and nodded gratefully to her.

At that moment, the Nine-tailed Demon Mink, under the combined assault of Hua Niaozhi and the others, suddenly advanced to the fourth rank!

With a sweep of its remaining eight tails, it instantly wrapped all nine of them within its furry appendages.

In an instant, the nine of them felt their breath cut off.

But though they were suffocating, none dared to gasp for air; for if they inhaled the poisonous gas emitted from the mink’s rear, they would die far faster and more miserably than from asphyxiation.

Despairing, the nine looked toward Nalan Di Jiu and Baili Tianchang, their eyes filled with hopelessness.
