Gu Beiyue seemed to understand the little thing quite well. He had a director grandfather, so it wasn't strange for him to understand the little thing.
"What do you mean?" Han Yunxi asked with interest.
Gu Beiyue smiled helplessly, "It eats a lot, the princess consort will be eaten until she collapses."
Han Yunxi was happy as she opened the medical kit for Gu Beiyue to see. There was no need to say anything as the two of them smiled at each other. For a moment, all their worries, whether it was hers or his, could be temporarily thrown away.
Gu Beiyue was like the sun in the winter, not hot, but warm. He could always drive away the haze in Han Yunxi's heart.
Laughing was laughing, but Gu Beiyue still explained seriously, "Princess consort, the poisonous beast's fangs are poisonous and its blood can cure hundreds of poisons. This is all because it eats hundreds of poisons, so once the poisonous beast bites someone or uses its blood to save someone, it must keep eating, otherwise its life will be in danger!"
Many people were fighting over the Gu Shu, but there weren't many people who knew this secret.
Han Yunxi was very surprised. She turned around to look at the little thing and saw the little thing nestled on Gu Beiyue's shoulder, blinking its eyes as it looked at her. Its little mouth kept moving, as if it was hungry.
So it was like this, no wonder it couldn't help secretly eating when she was so fierce.
"Then how much does it need to eat before it's full?" Han Yunxi anxiously asked. Not to mention how useful the little thing was, with how cute it was, she couldn't bear for it to be hungry.
Gu Beiyue turned his head to look at the little thing. That gentle gaze filled with pity almost made the little thing drown in it.
The little thing didn't know who he was or what his relationship with its master was, but it liked the clean aura coming from his body.
"We can only ask it about this. However, even if it's full, its blood doesn't have any medicinal properties. Every time it bleeds to save someone, it needs a certain amount of time to accumulate. Only then can its blood cure hundreds of poisons. If it bleeds too much, it won't live long. "
Han Yunxi chuckled at Gu Beiyue's words. In the past, this little beast even wanted to exchange more of its blood for a bit of poison. Does it know how dangerous it'll be if it bleeds too much?!
Who was the one who spread the rumor that the poisonous rats were immortal?
"How much does it need to eat to recover?" Han Yunxi asked seriously.
Gu Beiyue shook his head helplessly. He had to ask the little thing about this, as he wasn't sure either.
"Esteemed Wangfei, the most important thing right now is to quickly feed it. I'm afraid it's starving."
Gu Beiyue's hands were very large, enough to hold the little thing in his palm. He lightly scratched its ears, making the little squirrel feel extremely comfortable. It wanted nothing more than to lie in this man's palm for the rest of its life and never get up.
But Han Yunxi quickly pulled it out of its soft nest. "Come on, let's go find something to eat."
With Gu Beiyue present, Han Yunxi couldn't get poisons from her detox system, so she might as well go out and buy them. In any case, she needed to replenish her detox system with medicinal ingredients.
"This one will go with esteemed wangfei," Gu Beiyue immediately rose to his feet.
"You've just recovered from a serious illness, so you should rest. I'll be back soon."
Judging from Gu Beiyue's frail state, Han Yunxi was worried that he'd be blown away by the wind. But Gu Beiyue persisted. "Esteemed wangfei, this one knows quite a few medicine merchants in Medical City. I can introduce you to them."
The most important link between Medicine City and Medical City was the medicine merchants. They controlled all of Cloud Realm Continent's medicine market.
All right, although Han Yunxi wasn't going to be a wholesaler, she still needed plenty of ingredients. It'd be much cheaper if she found a medicine merchant.
Thinking up to here, Han Yunxi felt for the limitless gold card in her sleeve. She'd gotten it from Long Fei Ye in Medicine City. It was the equivalent of a modern day credit card that could be used throughout Cloud Realm Continent. She kept a record of her purchases and Long Fei Ye would pay her back.
Much of the detox system's stock had come from this card. Han Yunxi hesitated before silently placing the card on the table. She didn't want it anymore.
But as soon as she and Gu Beiyue stepped out of the door, Lil Thing slipped out of the medical pouch and rushed back at lightning speed. It picked up the gold card with its mouth and bit it to make sure it was the real deal before slipping back into the pouch.
It had a little secret: it wasn't just greedy for food, but money as well!
Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue had just left the room when they ran into Gu.
Gu couldn't find Mu Ling 'er in all of Medical City, so he'd just returned. He was pleasantly surprised to see Han Yunxi. "Poison lass, you didn't leave?"
Han Yunxi grew angry. "Where's Mu Ling 'er?"
She almost forgot about Mu Ling 'er before she saw him. That girl wouldn't be forgiven so easily for pushing her. That wasn't just repaying kindness with enmity, it was murder!
"I'm looking for her too. When you find her, you can kill her with a knife," Gu said seriously.
Kill her?
Han Yunxi could tell that Gu and Mu Ling 'er had a close relationship. This fellow had a mysterious background, so how could she kill someone so close to him just like that?
"She liked you so much for nothing," Han Yunxi probed.
Unexpectedly, Gu sighed. "Ai, it's a pity that the one I like is you."
On one side, Gu Beiyue creased his brows at the words, but Han Yunxi had long gotten used to Gu Qishao's frivolity. She simply rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Gu caught up. "Was it that fellow from the Shadow Clan who saved you?"
"Bring Mu Ling 'er here and I'll tell you," Han Yunxi said seriously.
"By the way, tell me who taught you your poison skills?" Gu quickly added, not minding that Gu Beiyue was overhearing.
This fellow was pestering her and treating her well because he wanted to know where her poison skills came from. What did he want to know? What did he suspect? Every time she asked, he wouldn't tell her.
Han Yunxi couldn't be bothered with him. There were many things she didn't know about herself, such as the secret of her birth, Lady Tianxin's death, the Poison Sect's little squirrel's affection for her, and how the young master from the Shadow Clan had saved her.
Han Yunxi gave Gu Qishao a fake smile before walking away with large strides. Gu Qishao immediately chased after her. "Where are you going? You didn't go with Long Fei Ye? "
Han Yunxi didn't speak. Gu Beiyue walked on her other side and glanced at Gu. A faint smile flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"Poison lass, you didn't go with Long Fei Ye. Why don't you come with this young master? We'll be a celestial couple and eat well together!" Gu teased.
Celestial couple? Eat well together? Han Yunxi couldn't help but laugh at how this guy could use those two words together. But she ignored him and walked faster and faster.
But soon enough, she stopped and whipped her head towards Gu Qishao. Caught off guard, Gu Qishao backed up a step. "You … what do you want to do?"
Han Yunxi looked at him and fell silent for a long time. Then she suddenly smiled. "Take me somewhere."
Gu thought she was going to do something, but his lips curled up at her words. He said openly, "Where are we going? Just tell me!"
Han Yunxi didn't stand on ceremony either and said, "The poison grass warehouse!"
The poison grass warehouse was the equivalent of the Poison Sect's storehouse. It was located on the main peak of Lotus Peak and was a natural forest of poisonous plants. All kinds of poisonous plants grew from the middle of the mountain all the way to the peak.
It was planted by the Poison Sect at first, but due to their tenacious vitality, the poisonous plants continued to grow wildly even after the Poison Sect was destroyed and no one took care of them.
The medical academy had once set fire to it, but the wildfire couldn't extinguish it. The spring breeze came and the new poisonous plants grew even thicker. After that, the medical academy never touched it again and instead guarded the entire mountain.
If she hadn't seen Gu, Han Yunxi wouldn't have thought that she could take Lil Thing to this place. She and Gu Beiyue couldn't enter the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds on their own, but things were different with Gu's help.
"What are you going to do there?" Gu grew suspicious. He didn't expect the poison lass to know about the poison grass warehouse.
"To broaden my horizons." Han Yunxi spoke very modestly. Even if she moved the entire warehouse into her detox system, no one would know.
"Deal!" Gu agreed decisively, then added, "Tell me why that Shadow Clan fellow saved you! Do you know each other from before? "
Han Yunxi's face darkened. "Can't we just be friends?"
Can't I have a friend who treats me honestly and doesn't have any ulterior motives? How annoying!
A complicated look flitted through Gu's eyes, but he quickly recovered his flirtatious smile. "I'll take you there right away. Let's go."
So speaking, he grabbed Han Yunxi's hand and prepared to leave, but Han Yunxi shook him off. "Imperial Physician Gu is going too!"
Gu immediately stopped and avoided Han Yunxi to look straight at Gu Beiyue. "What are you going to do?"
Gu Beiyue didn't expect Han Yunxi to bring him along. He was about to reply when Han Yunxi beat him to it. "To broaden my horizons."
Gu didn't hold back. "A burden!"
"Hey! That's too much! " Han Yunxi was angry. Although Gu Beiyue didn't know much about poisons, he still knew some of the ingredients needed to concoct them. The more people there were, the more power there would be. Besides, Gu Beiyue could really broaden his horizons if he went. Such a poisonous herb storehouse, whether it was an ordinary doctor or a poison doctor, they couldn't ask for anything more!
Gu Beiyue wasn't angry. Of course, he also cleverly didn't express his opinion.
Gu realized that while he was joking around, he didn't know when this girl had him completely under her control. He, who had always been undisciplined and reckless, actually didn't have the courage to reject her.
Some people said that a wanton and unrestrained man would become henpecked after marriage. However, he only liked her, but he was actually afraid of her.
Gu was seriously planning in his heart. He had to think of a way to make Long Fei Ye divorce her so that he could directly marry her.
He let go of Han Yunxi's hand and confidently turned around. "Let's go together. Follow me and don't get lost!"
Han Yunxi was overjoyed. She squeezed her eyebrows at Gu Beiyue, indicating that he didn't have to worry.
Gu Beiyue nodded. A trace of warmth flowed through his eyes. He whispered, "The Shadow Clan saved you?"
"En, you know about the Shadow Clan?"
Facing Gu Beiyue, Han Yunxi was a lot more honest. In fact, if Gu didn't have any ulterior motives, there were some things that she was willing to tell him.
"I did." Gu Beiyue hesitated for a moment before saying, "I heard that among the Seven Noble Families of the Great Qin Empire, the Shadow Clan was destroyed a long time ago?"
The Seven Noble Families still had descendants who hid their names in the world. However, the Shadow Clan must have followed the Western Qin Imperial Family.
"I also feel that it's strange. Why do you think this is?" Han Yunxi was suspicious.
Such a casual question actually caused a trace of sadness to appear in Gu Beiyue's eyes. It was faint, but it couldn't be erased no matter how hard he tried.
After leaving the courtyard, Gu led them to a small path.
One woman and two men. Who would they meet?
