When Jiang Peihuan entered the room, she noticed that Cheng Yang had also followed her in. She immediately frowned, âCheng Yang, I really donât have the time to deal with you today, youâ¦â
âMaster, are you distressed about the cold poison inside King Chengâs body?â
Upon hearing Cheng Yangâs words, Jiang Peihuan furrowed her brows but still gently asked, âHow do you know about the cold poison inside his body?â
âItâs written in the medical book.â
While speaking, Cheng Yang handed a medical book to Jiang Peihuan.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Peihuan instinctively looked at the book. She then realized that this was the book that Xiao Nanye had once sent her, though she had never had the time to read it.
Taking the medical book from Cheng Yang, Jiang Peihuan carefully read its contents. By the end, her eyes reflected her internal struggle.
âQueen, is there a cure for the Masterâs poison?â
While Jiang Peihuan was reading, Han Feng didnât dare to disturb her. However, when she closed the book, he couldnât help himself anymore.
Hearing Han Fengâs words, Jiang Peihuan nodded, âAccording to the medical book, there is indeed a way to counteract the cold poison inside Xiao Nanye, but Iâve never seen such a method.â
Noticing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the others, Jiang Peihuan continued, âThe book mentions that to counteract the cold poison, one must use poison against poison. We should gather poisonous scorpions, snakes, centipedes, and similar creatures, and then place Xiao Nanye amongst them.â âBut these are all highly venomous creatures. How can we leave the Master among them?â
âHuan Er?â
At this moment, the soft voice of Xiao Nanye from the bed reached their ears. Hearing his voice, Jiang Peihuan instinctively turned to him.
âXiao Nanye, are you awake? Do you feel discomfort anywhere?â
Upon hearing Jiang Peihuanâs question, Xiao Nanye shook his head. He then looked at her and softly said, â1 heard what you just mentioned. I think itâs worth a try.â
âMaster?â
Before Jiang Peihuan could speak, Han Feng, with evident disagreement in his eyes, exclaimed.
Hearing him, Xiao Nanye gave him a cold glance, âEven if I get bitten to death, itâs me who dies, why are you so concerned?â
Han Feng was speechless.
Seeing hesitation in Jiang Peihuanâs eyes, Xiao Nanye continued, âThis medical book comes from the Medicine King Valley. Given that this method appears in it, there must be some feasibility to it.â
âBut as mentioned in the book, we need highly poisonous creatures. Where can we find them so quickly?â
âQueen, I know someone who has them.â
Before Jiang Peihuan could finish speaking, Han Feng quickly interjected. Seeing her puzzled expression, he continued, âYoung Master Chu has them.â
An hour later, Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye, along with others, went to the previously mentioned mansion.
Not only was Chu Heng there, but Rong Mo was present too.
Upon seeing Cheng Yang, Rong Moâs expression changed instantly.
âRong Mo, 1 didnât come for you today, but to learn medical techniques.â
Hearing Cheng Yangâs words, doubt filled Rong Moâs eyes. Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan stepped forward, whispering, âWhat Cheng Yang said is true.â
After saying that, Jiang Peihuan looked at Chu Heng, recounting Xiao Nanyeâs situation and then continued, âHan Feng mentioned that Young Master Chu has these poisonous creatures, so?â
âI indeed have these creatures, but theyâre my pets.â
Upon hearing the word âpets,â Jiang Peihuanâs eyes flickered.
âForget it. King Chengâs life is more important. Follow me.â
With that, Chu Heng headed inside the house. Seeing this, both Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye followed him.
Upon entering the house, Chu Heng pressed something on a painting on the wall, and the wall in front of them automatically slid open.
Chu Heng led the way, with Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye following closely behind.
As soon as they entered, Jiang Peihuan felt a cold sensation, and there was a peculiar smell in the air.
As they moved further in, Jiang Peihuan heard a rustling noise. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw a sight that even her brave self found chilling.
There were several pits in the ground, each filled with various venomous creatures, including scorpions, snakes, centipedes, and other creatures Jiang Peihuan had never seen before. Seeing all these, Jiang Peihuan couldnât hide her discomfort.
Cheng Yang, on the other hand, screamed out loud.
Hearing her scream, Chu Heng glared at her in displeasure. âI told you not to come, but you insisted. If you scared my pets, I might just throw you in with them.â
âAre you a devil?â Cheng Yang shot back, glaring at him.
Chu Heng approached Cheng Yang, but she quickly grabbed Rong Moâs hand for protection. âRong Mo, save me.â
âEnough, stop fooling around,â Rong Mo admonished. With his intervention, both Chu Heng and Cheng Yang quieted down.
When Rong Mo was born, Chu Heng and Cheng Yang did not make a sound.
All eyes turned to Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye.
After a moment, Jiang Peihuan softly said to Chu Heng, âYoung Master Chu, please allow me to take some of these creatures.â
âNo problem. Take whatever you need,â he replied, âBut be careful. If you get bitten, itâs not my responsibility.â
âQueen, let me handle it,â Han Feng immediately volunteered.
However, Jiang Peihuan declined his offer. Facing Han Feng, she said, âNo need, 1 have a method.â
In front of everyone, Jiang Peihuan applied a medicine on herself, then wore gloves and used tongs to handle the creatures. She placed the venomous animals into a wooden barrel. Once she had collected enough, she sealed the barrel.
An hour later, the venomous creatures were emptied into a large bathtub.
Seeing Xiao Nanye preparing to undress, Jiang Peihuan was visibly torn. However, Xiao Nanye seemed calm. He reassured her, âItâs alright, donât worry.â
Jiang Peihuan only nodded in response.
Stripping off his outer clothes, Xiao Nanye was only in his undergarments as he stepped into the bathtub.
Upon sitting down, a look of pain immediately crossed his face. After a moment, Xiao Nanye gripped the edge of the tub tightly, yet he didnât make a sound.
Jiang Peihuan sat beside him. Seeing the expression on his face, her eyes were filled with concern. She couldnât say or do anything; all she could do was sit silently and wait.
At first, Xiao Nanye held onto the tubâs edge with just one hand. Later, he clung to it with both hands, veins protruding from the back of his hands.
Jiang Peihuan clutched a handkerchief tightly, not daring to make a sound.
Yet, noticing Jiang Peihuanâs worried gaze, Xiao Nanye managed to whisper with a gentle smile, âHuan Er, please wait outside for me..â
