Chapter 772 - 772 The Last Detoxification

772 The Last Detoxification

“It’s just—”

Su Xiaolu paused. She looked at An Xiaoou seriously and said what she wanted to say, “Xiaoou, will you be with that young merman beside you in the future?”

When they looked at the scenery last night, she saw Hai Ming holding An Xiaoou’s hand tightly.

An Xiaoou blushed. She hadn’t made her relationship with Hai Ming clear, but she knew Hai Ming’s intentions. She nodded shyly. “Yes, the fish people only have one partner in their lives. If they set their minds on it, they’ll wait for their partner to come of age, confess, get married, and spend the rest of their lives together. Hai Ming and I aren’t of age yet.”

!!

Therefore, they both knew each other’s intentions, but they had yet to make it clear.

“I see. Then you have to send me a message when you get married in the future. Then, I can see what the fish people’s wedding banquet is like.”

Her guess was right.

She and An Xiaoou were old friends. Now that the two races had formed an alliance, it was only right for her to come to An Xiaoou’s wedding banquet in the future.

“Okay.”

An Xiaoou was a little shy. As long as Su Xiaolu was willing to come, she would definitely welcome her.

An Xiaoou smiled and went out.

An Xiaoou remembered what she had promised Su Xiaolu, so she did not go back immediately. Instead, she went to the palace.

When she saw the old king, she bowed respectfully.

The old king gently called her up. An Xiaoou had been transformed from a human into a fish. She had obtained the Sea God’s approval. Now that the two races had formed an alliance, the old king felt that this was the Sea God’s foreshadowing, so he was even more loving to An Xiaoou.

Without An Xiaoou’s message, the human race and the fish people would definitely not be able to form an alliance.

An Xiaoou recounted Su Xiaolu’s words.

After the old king heard this, he asked, “We do have to exchange some of the human race’s wealth, but did Miss Su say how much spiritual liquid she needs?”

An Xiaoou shook her head. “I don’t know about that. If you agree, I’ll ask her again. However, I think we should have a preliminary budget for the spiritual liquid so that it can be exchanged.”

The old king pondered for a moment. The spiritual liquid was excavated at the bottom of the sea. There were many spiritual veins. Apart from using a few bottles when the fish people were transforming, it was useless to drink more.

There were several spiritual veins that could be used to convert the wealth of the human world.

How much should it be priced?

It was not easy for the old king to make a decision. Then, he said, “I can’t make a decision about that either. Give her some. Just treat it as making friends. Didn’t you say that she’s very powerful? It’s not bad to make more friends like her.”

Since he couldn’t decide on its value, he would give it to her.

An Xiaoou nodded.

With the king’s permission, the spiritual liquid in the conch bottle was sent to Su Xiaolu.

It was a total of three to four catties.

After sending them off, the fish people smiled and left.

Su Xiaolu poured a glass of the liquid and drank it. The spiritual energy nourished her limbs and it was very comfortable.

She immediately circulated her internal breath. She felt that her entire body was emitting the word ‘satisfied’.

This was good stuff.

However, the fish king did not say how to exchange. He only said to treat it as making friends.

This was a favor. It was not easy to repay a favor.

Zhou Zhi might not be able to use it all. She put it into the Space and her consciousness sank into the Space. She poured a small cup for Mantis Shrimp to drink.

Mantis Shrimp finished it in one gulp. It licked its mouth and looked at Su Xiaolu eagerly. It asked, “Xiaolu, I still want to drink more.”

Su Xiaolu shook her head. “No, this is for Fourth Brother. He needs it to detoxify. If there’s any left, I’ll give it to you.”

Mantis Shrimp snorted.

The spiritual liquid produced by spiritual veins was good stuff. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Be good. This is something from the seabed. If I find it again in the future, you can have as much as you want, okay?”

Su Xiaoling stroked Mantis Shrimp’s fur and coaxed it gently.

Mantis Shrimp nodded. That was the only way.

Su Xiaolu was already very, very good to him. He knew to be satisfied.

Su Xiaolu left the Space and got up to look for Gui You to tell him what had happened.

“Then I’ll go out first and wait for you in the small courtyard with the old man.”

Gui You said gently.

Su Xiaolu nodded.

She gave a small bottle of spiritual liquid to Gui You and said, “Master, this is spiritual liquid. It’s better than the spiritual medicine I extracted. Bring it out and drink it with my Master.”

Gui You took it and put it away. He nodded. “Alright.”

Su Xiaolu got up and returned to her room.

The next day, Zhou Heng and the others left the palace together.

Gui You also left.

Su Xiaolu did not follow them to send them off. She only watched them leave the palace. She waved at Gui You, Zhou Heng, and Su Hua.

Su Xiaolu did not return until she could not see them anymore.

She was almost done preparing to detoxify Zhou Zhi for the last time.

From today onwards, she would perform acupuncture.

...

Many fish people came to watch Su Xiaolu perform acupuncture. This could also be considered a form of learning.

Zhou Zhi had been learning the fish people’s language. He had already memorized dozens of different expressions of sound waves. They were not very complicated words, but he could already understand them.

The fish people could also understand simple human language.

After the acupuncture, Zhou Zhi was sleepy and Su Xiaolu accompanied him.

Zhou Zhi said slowly, “Xiaolu, I brought a book. Tell me a story.”

It was the book about the Immortal Supremacy.

Su Xiaolu read slowly, thinking that this Immortal Supremacy was so pitiful. His life and death were unpredictable when the demonic poison acted up.

Only at this moment did his wife, who had lost her memory, stay by his side. She still did not remember Immortal Supremacy, and said that she would leave after he got through this.

What a sad story.

There were six hours of acupuncture a day and six hours of medicinal bath rotation.

In just ten days, Zhou Zhi quickly lost weight and did not eat anything.

...

Su Xiaolu gave him a small cup of spiritual liquid every day to support him.

After 20 days, they were only halfway there.

Zhou Zhi stayed awake less than two hours a day.

The young man from the fish people, Qing Xu, came to visit and was shocked. “How, how did he become like this?”

Qing Xu saw Zhou Zhi half a month ago. They all knew that Zhou Zhi was detoxifying, so they did not disturb him. He thought that since it had been half a month, he should come and take a look. He would not know if he did not take a look. When he saw him, he was shocked at how disfigured he was.

“He, he won’t die here, right?”

Qing Xu’s heart sank.

At this juncture, if Zhou Zhi died here, wouldn’t the alliance between the two races be over?

Hai Ming and the little prince had just sent a letter saying that the human race was knowledgeable and profound. They definitely couldn’t break the contract now.

“No, he won’t die.”

Su Xiaolu said firmly to Qing Xu that although Zhou Zhi’s health was deteriorating, he had to survive this.

There was not enough spiritual liquid. Su Xiaolu looked at Qing Xu and said, “Qing Xu, I still need more spiritual liquid. I can exchange it for 100,000 taels of silver.”

Qing Xu was a little puzzled, but after some thought, he understood. He said to Su Xiaolu, “I’ll report to the king and tell you.”

Qing Xu looked at the unconscious Zhou Zhi worriedly and turned to leave.

Qing Xu went straight to the palace to report. After the old king and the eldest prince heard this, the eldest prince, Yu Heng, said, “We can let her use the spiritual liquid. We don’t want her money. We just want her to help the fish people three times in the future. We don’t want her to go against the laws of humanity. We just want her to remember that if the alliance between the human and fish people is no longer in place in the future, she has to at least protect three of us.”
