Chapter 2834: Chapter 2835: Transfer Technique
Bai Ruozhu fell to the ground again in pain. What was going on? Even if her body was injured, it shouldn’t hurt like this. Could it be that Turkic person who approached her just now used some evil technique on her?
"Master, hold on, they’ve retreated." Yizi was almost crying with anxiety.
Bai Ruozhu gasped for breath, and the new pain finally did not reoccur. She slowly regained her strength.
...
"If you don’t believe me, go ahead and kill me. I don’t mind dying, but can you bear to let your beautiful wife die?" Zhu Ning laughed loudly. There was a hideous wound on her arm, a bloody one on her back, and Jiang Yichun had also kicked her in the stomach, but she didn’t feel any pain at all. It was so eerie.
"I didn’t expect you to find this place so quickly and ruin my plan to revive Ma Xingguo. But I am not going to die for Ma Xingguo, so I laid a transfer technique on Bai Ruozhu long ago." She laughed aloud.
"Ever heard of the transfer technique? I’m sure you haven’t; how shallow!" Zhu Ning wore a look of disdain, "This isn’t the symbiosis technique. With that, if you hit me, she would hurt, and if she was hit, I would hurt. I’m not that foolish. The transfer technique transfers all my pain to her. If I die, she can’t live either. If you don’t believe it, go ahead and make your move. With Bai Ruozhu as my companion in death, it’s worth it!"
Jiang Yichun’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. He wasn’t sure about Zhu Ning’s words and couldn’t see the situation with Bai Ruozhu, but a bad feeling lingered in his heart, causing him to stop. Otherwise, he would have killed this woman long ago.
"You’ve never met her, so how could you lay this transfer technique on her?" he asked.
Zhu Ning’s smile grew even more arrogant. "I told you you wouldn’t understand. A single strand of her hair is enough to cast the technique, let alone the teacup I got from someone she used."
Jiang Yichun’s heart sank even more. Bai Ruozhu had been with the Commerce Association recently, and there must be spies there. Getting a teacup she’d used wouldn’t be hard.
"Master, she’s not pretending; she doesn’t feel any pain at all. Let’s not act rashly. Tie her up first," Muyu suggested.
Jiang Yichun raised his hand and sealed Zhu Ning’s acupoint, while Bai Ruozhu, miles away, was suddenly struck the same way and fell to the ground.
"Master!" Jianqi rushed over to help Bai Ruozhu up, unsure of what to do.
"It seems like someone sealed my acupoint." She panted.
Because the transfer technique transferred all the pain, and the process increased the intensity of the pain, she endured tremendous suffering.
Jianqi hurriedly attempted to unseal her acupoint but found it hopeless.
"What’s going on?" Jianqi was sweating with anxiety.
"Don’t worry about it for now; send someone to pursue the Turkic people. Don’t miss such a good opportunity." Bai Ruozhu said weakly.
Jianqi dared not leave. Now, he had to protect not only Yizi but also the immobile Bai Ruozhu.
He quickly instructed several dark guards, and the group pursued the Turkic people.
After a fierce battle, they killed over a hundred Turkic people. The dark guards were all highly skilled in martial arts, and taking on two opponents was no problem.
But that Turkic prince managed to escape, and the dark guards searched the mountain all night but found no trace, so they had to return to report.
Meanwhile, Bai Ruozhu’s acupuncture points had not been unsealed all night. Suddenly, she cried out, "I remember, it’s the transfer technique!"
She had read many books from the Astrology Tower, and with her excellent memory, she had skimmed over them but truly understood and comprehended little. So just now, she could only search and identify bit by bit from her memory. It took a while before she finally recalled.
"What is this transfer technique?" Yizi, fearing something bad might happen to her, had stayed by her side all night.
"It’s an evil technique that transfers one person’s pain to another. I’m in such pain without any injury because the other person is injured and sealed at the acupoint." Bai Ruozhu said.
"Could it be Zhu Ning?" Jianqi asked.
Bai Ruozhu’s face darkened, "It’s most likely her. From the start, I felt she wouldn’t sacrifice herself for Ma Xingguo. That evil technique can revive Ma Xingguo, but the caster would die from backlash. But if the transfer technique was used, I would bear all her pain, and in the end, I would die, and she would be safe!"
"How can there be such an evil method?" Yizi exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.
"That’s why it’s called an evil technique, but it seems most likely Achun caught her, and she must have revealed the transfer technique." Bai Ruozhu chuckled bitterly, "The backlash and similar damage from that transfer technique might preserve her life, but if it’s external injuries, she would still suffer, so even if I died from the pain, if her injuries are too severe, she would die too."
"What should we do now? Can it be undone?" Yizi asked.
Bai Ruozhu shook her head, "I’ll think of a way."
Fortunately, the pain hadn’t resurfaced. While not being able to move due to the acupoint sealing was uncomfortable, it was much better than the sudden pain yesterday.
Exhausted, Bai Ruozhu slowly drifted off to sleep.
"I’ll keep watch; you go and rest for a bit." Yizi noticed Jianqi’s bloodshot eyes and said, feeling sorry for him.
"You’ve been through enough too. Why don’t you doze off on the couch for a while?" Jianqi suggested.
"All right." Yizi went to nap for a bit but, worried about Bai Ruozhu, woke up in less than half an hour.
At that moment, shouts came from outside, and it was Muyu’s voice.
"Madam, madam, are you all right?" Muyu rushed into the room, worried.
Bai Ruozhu was awoken by the noise, "There is something wrong. You sealed Zhu Ning’s acupoint, right? I can’t move."
"Ah, she was telling the truth!" Muyu exclaimed. "Madam, how did you know?"
Bai Ruozhu chuckled bitterly, "After being tormented like that yesterday, I had to give it serious thought and naturally thought of the transfer technique."
"Right, right, we rescued those babies, over seventy of them, and also snatched Ma Xingguo’s corpse. The master was about to kill Zhu Ning when she suddenly said she couldn’t feel pain, that she’d used the transfer technique on you." Muyu said, gritting her teeth, "Master feared it was true and didn’t dare to kill her. He just sealed her acupoint and brought her back to see what to do. He sent me ahead to check on you."
"I’m all right for now. Send a message to Achun for me." Bai Ruozhu said, feeling tired and yawning, indicating she wanted to sleep. Muyu quickly retreated.
"Yizi, you all can leave now. Now that we figured things out, Achun will protect Zhu Ning. Don’t worry about me. Just go rest." Bai Ruozhu said.
Seeing her insist, Jianqi and Yizi paid their respects and then withdrew.
Once the door was closed, she focused her mind, and her consciousness appeared in the space.
Her acupuncture points were sealed, and she couldn’t move, so lying on the ground was quite uncomfortable.
Furball came over, rubbed against her face, and asked what was wrong; Bai Ruozhu explained her situation. Furball looked around but couldn’t come up with a solution.
Xiaohei nudged her over and helped her sit up.
This made her feel a bit more comfortable, and she slowly found that her fingers could begin to move a little.
