Seeing Han Yunxi smile with her eyes squinted, the little squirrel finally heaved a sigh of relief. It thought that since its new owner was smiling, it must mean that she had forgiven it! Hence, it also went over and smiled even more brilliantly. Its two front teeth were faintly discernible.
Han Yunxi stared at its front teeth and thought that the blood of a poisonous beast could cure hundreds of poisons, but if one was bitten by it, one would be poisoned to death. What was the reason for this contradiction?
If its blood could cure hundreds of poisons, then its blood must not be poisonous. Could it be that this little thing was like a poisonous snake, hiding a venom gland under its teeth and when it bites, venom would shoot out from the tip of its teeth?
What kind of poison was its venom?
Anyway, it must be something that her detoxification system had not recorded, so she was unable to detect its existence. In modern history, this little monster had never appeared before.
En, she had to think of a way to obtain its venom to study. But the most important thing now was to obtain its blood. Warm blood that could save one's life!
Han Yunxi smiled as she took out a small porcelain bottle.
Eh … a porcelain bottle to store medicine?
Could it be that its new owner wanted to give it something delicious to eat? The little squirrel's inverted triangular nose opened and closed as it sniffed and crawled closer. It was a pity that it could not smell the scent of poison.
It stopped in front of Han Yunxi and stared at her curiously. What was in the bottle?
Who knew that Han Yunxi's other hand flashed out a small knife. The knife's edge was so bright that it was blinding.
The little squirrel was first stunned before it jumped up in fear and hid far away.
New owner, what do you want to do?
Han Yunxi grinned and chuckled, "Little thing, come over here. You have to pay for what you did."
The little squirrel was so frightened that it was about to cry. Could it be that its new owner wanted to roast it and eat it? Don't!
Seeing that the little squirrel did not move and did not escape, Han Yunxi secretly rejoiced. She used the small knife to cut her hand and collected some blood into the small porcelain bottle to demonstrate to the little squirrel.
The little squirrel looked at it seriously and immediately shook its head violently.
Well, it was very smart and intelligent. It understood, but it refused.
Han Yunxi hesitated for a moment before taking out a poison from her medical bag.
Upon seeing this, the squirrel was puzzled. It had long eaten all the poison in the cloth bag, so why was there more now? Where did it come from?
Of course, it was taken out from the detoxification system. The medical kit was just a cover.
Han Yunxi spread out her fingers, scattering the poison in her palm. The little squirrel sniffed it and suddenly jolted. It stood up in excitement!
It was still the same taste and the same formula!
This poison was none other than the delicacy on Jun Yi Xie's shoulder!
The little squirrel didn't hesitate to pounce at her, but Han Yunxi evaded it with a mischievous grin. She took out her dagger again.
"It's just a small bottle of blood. It won't kill you. Do you want to trade?"
Han Yunxi knew that the little squirrel would understand, but she didn't know that this little thing would be so unambitious.
Not only did it nod without hesitation, it even went into her medical bag and took out a small porcelain bottle.
This meant … two sets of poison in exchange for two bottles of blood?
Would it be anemic?
Han Yunxi couldn't help but laugh. She generously took out three sets of poison and threw them to the little squirrel. It looked at the medical bag and then looked at the thing in Han Yunxi's hand. It was too confused. It didn't see anything when it went in.
Alright, it couldn't care less. It wanted to eat, eat, and eat!
The little squirrel swept up all the poison in an instant, afraid that Han Yunxi would go back on her word.
Of course, after eating it all, it still took out a third porcelain bottle. After eating three sets of poison, it had to return three bottles of blood.
Han Yunxi laughed as she shook her head. She grabbed the little squirrel and held it in her hand. She lectured, "Little thing, one bottle is enough. You have to know how to cherish yourself and feel sorry for yourself. Do you remember that? "
The little squirrel seemed to understand. Its black eyes were sneaky as it timidly glanced at Han Yunxi's knife before immediately retracting its gaze.
It only knew fear after eating it. It didn't know where its new owner would cut it. Would it be painful? This was the first time someone had used a knife on it.
Seeing the little squirrel like this, Han Yunxi couldn't help but secretly laugh.
Of course she wouldn't let it suffer too much. After all, she had used a knife and a needle.
However, she would make sure it couldn't run away for now!
Han Yunxi chose the little squirrel's leg and stabbed it in the calf. She nimbly poured out a small bottle of blood and immediately treated the wound.
Actually, the wound was very small, but she had deliberately bandaged it very exaggeratedly. She wrapped it several times with gauze and sternly told the little squirrel, "Don't move around or you'll be crippled!"
The little squirrel didn't understand what she was saying. Seeing her so serious, it turned back to look at its leg. Its eyes immediately rolled back and it fainted.
Looking at the little squirrel that had fainted in her hand, Han Yunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If the world knew that this was the ferocious poison beast of legend, would they think that the Poison Sect's poison beast legends were fake?
A long time later, when Han Yunxi saw the little squirrel's ferocious side, she would realize that she had underestimated it. Of course, this was a story for another time.
Han Yunxi glanced at the sky. It would be midnight in less than an hour. Even with Luo Zuishan taking her the shortcut, it would still take a long time to get to the medical academy. She wouldn't make it in time.
But she didn't hesitate at all. She put the little squirrel in her medical pouch, tidied it up, and resolutely picked up the unconscious white-robed man to walk back the way they had come.
She wouldn't give up!
With the antidote, it meant that Long Tianmo's life could be saved. It meant that her and Gu Beiyue's crimes could be washed away. It also meant that she could win the bet against Third Elder and that she wouldn't implicate the Duke of Qin's estate. She wouldn't owe that man anything!
No matter what, she couldn't give up. She had to hurry back!
Han Yunxi placed the white-robed man's hand on her shoulder. Her thin shoulders forcibly supported the man's weight.
Not long after, her straight waist was pressed down. The white-robed man's entire weight sank down. She couldn't straighten her waist even if she wanted to.
But she didn't even frown. She couldn't straighten her waist. Even if she bent her waist, she would still persevere!
In the beginning, she walked rather quickly, but gradually, her footsteps became heavier. Each step was slower than the previous one, and each step was deeper and deeper.
At this speed, she definitely wouldn't make it in time. What should she do?
Give up?
If she was late, she could still save Long Tianmo. Third Elder's diagnosis was wrong, so there was no way he could save Long Tianmo.
But if she was late, it wouldn't count as her victory.
So what if she won? She had never been a person who liked to win.
Give up. Rest for a night to recover her energy. When the white-robed man woke up, it wouldn't be too late to go back. In any case, Long Tianmo still had a few days left to live.
But if she didn't win, it was the same as losing. Not only would the world know that Han Yunxi lost, they would also know that Qin Wangfei didn't keep her word. Qin Wangfei would be blacklisted by the medical academy and would never be allowed to enter again.
Thinking of this, Han Yunxi, who was so tired that she was about to collapse, tightly clenched her teeth. She didn't know where the strength came from. Perhaps it was because of the pride in her heart. She, Han Yunxi, would never fail to cure a person's poison!
Perhaps it was because she didn't owe him anything and didn't burden him. Long Fei Ye, I will return you a clean and clean title of "Qin Wangfei". From now on, everything will be clear and we won't owe each other anything, right?
Han Yunxi, who couldn't even walk, tightly held onto the white-robed man's hand. She took another step, each step faster and faster. The night wind was icy cold, but she was already drenched in sweat.
Would she make it in time?
Time was very tight!
By now, the back courtyard of the medical academy's consultation hall was packed with people. The three elders of the Council of Elders, Qinwang Rong, Xi Yubo, Luo Zuishan, and many other medical scholars, doctors, and divine doctors had come to watch the show.
Most of them didn't know that the Poison Sect's Skypit had been destroyed and the poison beasts had gone missing. The higher-ups were swamped with work.
It was already midnight, but they were still full of energy, especially Third Elder and Xi Yubo. That was because Gu Beiyue had been missing for two days, while Han Yunxi had been missing for a day. Long Tianmo, who'd been perfectly fine, was now rolling around in his bed in pain.
Everything pointed to the fact that Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue had fled in fear of punishment!
"Heheh, so Qin Wangfei was a swindler! I don't think she'll come back for a check-up at a time like this. "
"Isn't that so? I thought Tianning's crown prince was really poisoned. I heard she used needles to expel the poison that day and shocked all the elders."
"I heard she used a set of needles to scare Third Elder. As I see it, those needles were real. As for the poison arts, heheh …"
"Aye, it's a pity for a talent like Gu Beiyue. Why did he hook up with a woman like that instead of being an imperial physician?"
"Shhh, you can't talk about things like that."
The spectators discussed animatedly as they waited. As soon as they finished speaking, the other side misunderstood.
"What, Qin Wangfei and Imperial Physician Gu are having an affair?"
"Really? No wonder Gu Beiyue, who's always put his own safety first, would get involved this time. So it turns out … "
… …
That's where the rumors came from.
Seeing that it was almost midnight, the crowd's discussions grew louder and louder. Third Elder, who liked peace and quiet, didn't mind at all. He looked up at the moon in the sky and counted the time with his fingers.
After seeing Han Yunxi use needles to expel the poison that day, he felt more and more unreconciled. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. As expected, he'd been fooled by that girl!
Han Yunxi definitely wouldn't come tonight. Even if he was sure she wouldn't, he'd still wait until midnight. Otherwise, people might say he was bullying a junior or that he didn't give Tianning's Duke of Qin face!
He'd even prepared his medical kit so he could diagnose Long Tianmo's condition in front of everyone tonight. Over the past three days, he'd flipped through many medical books and studied many cases, so he had a rough idea of what was going on.
At this moment, Lady Lianxin spoke up Leng. "Someone come, push out Tianning's crown prince. As I see it, Qin Wangfei should be here soon!"
It was almost midnight. Wasn't Lady Lianxin doing this on purpose?
As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd roared with laughter. Since it was already so late, the spectators didn't hold back.
Amidst the laughter, Luo Zuishan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He only knew that the Skypit had been destroyed, but he had no idea where Han Yunxi and Gu were!
Urgent, urgent, urgent!
Suddenly, Qinwang Rong stood up from his seat, his expression gloomy and ugly. After standing there for a while, he said without hesitation, "Third Elder, it's midnight!"
That's right, midnight had arrived. Han Yunxi hadn't shown up.
But a sudden announcement came from outside the courtyard. "Tianning's Duke of Qin has arrived!"
