Han Yunxi hugged Lil Thing as she sat in the study, taking a few deep breaths before slowly closing her eyes. The detox system couldn't take in living things like this, so she used the poison storage space instead.
In the past, the poison storage space had taken in an entire pond of poison water, leaving her unconscious for days. She didn't know what the consequences would be this time, much less whether she could take it in. After all, Lil Thing was a living poison.
After adjusting herself, Han Yunxi quickly got into the mood. She closed her eyes and used her thoughts to control it just like she did with other poisons.
As she closed her eyes, the room fell silent. But suddenly … the sleeping Lil Thing shot to its feet and looked out the window.
"What's wrong?"
Han Yunxi comforted it doubtfully, only to realize that Lil Thing was looking out the window.
Is there someone here?
Her heart gave a start as she hurried to the window. She looked around, but didn't see anyone. She placed Lil Thing on the windowsill, but it didn't move. Seeing this, Han Yunxi didn't think much of it. After all, the Duke of Qin's estate was heavily guarded, especially her courtyard. It was unlikely that outsiders would be able to get in.
She shut all the windows and sat back down with Lil Thing, who was already awake.
It had sensed the gentleman's scent just then and reacted instinctively. Since the gentleman had hidden away, of course it wouldn't betray him.
In its heart, the gentleman was the best person in the world to Mama Yunxi, even better than Long Feilong. Thus, no matter why the gentleman was secretly following Mama Yunxi or peeking at her, it would pretend it didn't know a thing.
Actually, Lil Thing was very clear that Long Feilong was peeking at Mama Yunxi. It didn't want to pretend it didn't know anything, but it didn't dare to.
Aye, it's depressing just thinking about it!
Lil Thing looked around its surroundings and found it even harder to sleep. It was curious what Mama Yunxi wanted to do. Why was it brought to the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion's study as soon as it woke up? And why were the windows and doors closed?
Lil Thing saw the shiny little tools on the table and shivered. It wanted to escape!
Mama Yunxi must be experimenting on it. She might even pull out its fangs and take its poison blood!
Han Yunxi hugged Lil Thing tightly and narrowly avoided letting it escape.
"Be good! Don't move! Good girl … "
She held it down with one hand and patted it with the other. However, the more she did this, the more the little thing struggled.
"Alright, be good and don't move! What's wrong? "
"Little thing, look at what this is! Do you want some? "
Han Yunxi generously took out a rare poison. Unfortunately, the little thing ignored her and continued to struggle.
Although it was small, it was very strong. Moreover, Han Yunxi only grabbed it with two hands while it resisted with four claws. "Squeak, squeak, squeak …"
Han Yunxi scratched and pressed with all her might. Those who didn't know would think that the man and the beast were fighting!
In the end, Han Yunxi lost her temper and said angrily, "Little thing, stop right there."
"Squeak!" The little thing cried out loudly. While she was not paying attention, it suddenly broke free and jumped to the ground.
Han Yunxi was shocked and blurted out, "Little thing, get in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little thing actually vanished into thin air …
Han Yunxi was shocked herself, but she quickly regained her senses. Her lips curled into a wicked grin. Success!
When she shouted just now, she sent Lil Thing into her poison storage space with a thought.
She immediately entered the space and saw the little thing crawling out of the poison pond like a drowned rat.
Han Yunxi was so serious and meticulous when treating poisons, but in reality, she was an incomparably naughty girl. She watched as the little thing snickered and purposely kept quiet.
Lil 'Thing looked left and right, and was so scared that it shuddered. Its originally wet white fur instantly stood up, and it looked like a furball with its fur standing on end.
This place was so familiar!
Lil Thing had lived for so long that some of its memories were hazy. However, it clearly remembered that it had been here before. This was the Poison Sect's poison storage space. Not every Poison Sect disciple could cultivate such a space in their minds, but some were lucky enough to be born with such a treasure. All they needed to do was find a way to open it.
Of course, whether it was a space cultivated through hard work or born with it, the chances of it appearing were very small. Even if some people were born with it, they'd never be able to open it in their entire lives, much less know of its existence.
Lil Thing had lived for so long, but this was only its second time here.
The first time had been so long ago that it had even forgotten who it belonged to.
Now it finally understood why Mama Yunxi could take out so many good things from her little medical pouch for it to eat. So there was a hidden universe behind the scenes!
Lil Thing looked around before suddenly closing its eyes. It did its best to communicate with Mama Yunxi through its consciousness, but it couldn't find her no matter how hard it tried.
It looked like Mama Yunxi's space had just been opened and needed to be upgraded.
Although it was a little disappointed, Lil Thing still held onto hope. It believed that one day it could enter the poison storage space and communicate with Mama Yunxi through its consciousness. Then it could tell her many, many secrets.
For example, its gentleman had always liked Mama Yunxi, or that Baddie Long had done all sorts of bad things behind Mama Yunxi's back, or that Gu was actually a Poison Gu human just like itself, undying and indestructible …
Would there be such a day? Would it be far off? Lil Thing didn't know.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Lil Thing's round, black eyes turned shifty. It looked around again to make sure Mama Yunxi wasn't around before plunging headfirst into the poison pond.
Han Yunxi was puzzled at first. Was Lil Thing trying to commit suicide by jumping into the water? But soon enough, she realized what was going on.
"Lil Thing, get up here! Right now! "
Han Yunxi shouted as she rushed over, but it was already too late. In a flash, the water level in the pond had dropped significantly.
The Water of Ten-Thousand Poisons was far more delicious than any other poison in this space. How could Lil Thing miss out? It wasn't clear whether Lil Thing was too engrossed in drinking or just pretending not to hear, but it didn't come out even after Han Yunxi shouted two or three times.
Han Yunxi was quick-witted enough to make Lil Thing fly out of the pond and land on the ground.
Right now, Lil Thing was completely drunk. It stuck out its round belly and burped before collapsing head first onto the ground and fainting.
Of course, the Water of Ten-Thousand Poisons wasn't intoxicating, but Lil Thing had fainted from overeating.
Han Yunxi felt her heart ache at the sight of the missing layer of poison. She picked up Lil Thing by its tail and shook it a few times. "Enough, stop pretending."
But Lil Thing didn't react at all.
Could it be that it ate too much poison at once and needed strength to digest it slowly? So … it was actually recovering its body?
Lil Thing's teeth contained the poison of the Poison Beast, one of the Nine Great Poisons that could counter Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.
Han Yunxi hesitated for a moment before carrying Lil Thing to the edge of the pond and casually tossing it in. Compared to the Poison of Ten-Thousand Beasts, this pond was nothing. She'll let Lil Thing live a drunken life in the pond and enjoy itself.
Han Yunxi checked the three poisonous teardrops and left after making sure they were all fine.
She'd just opened her eyes when the door to the study was pushed open, giving her a fright!
The newcomer was none other than Long Feiye. "Something's happened at the Poison Sect!"
"What happened to Gu?" Han Yunxi blurted out.
The Poison Sect's mishap and Gu Qishao's mishap seemed to be two separate matters. Long Feiye's eyes flashed with indignation, but it quickly disappeared.
Han Yunxi asked anxiously, "What's going on? Did something happen? "
"Someone wants to destroy the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons. The situation is urgent and he's afraid he can't stop them, so he wants us to hurry over," Long Fei Ye replied.
That was all Gu had said in his letter. Long Fei Ye wasn't sure if that guy couldn't stop them because he didn't want to expose himself, or if the opponent was just too strong.
"The Chu Clan? Why do they want to destroy the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons? Do they know anything? " Han Yunxi was full of questions. The only place she could think of was the Chu Clan. Last time, they'd met the Chu siblings and Duanmu Baiye in the underground palace of the poison grounds.
"He didn't say. Pack up and we'll head out immediately." Long Fei Ye didn't make any guesses, but he'd kept an eye on the Chu Clan for a long time. If it really was the Chu Clan this time, he didn't mind stirring up trouble in Western Zhou!
The Chu Clan was so powerful in Western Liang that they must have forgotten about the existence of Western Zhou's imperial family.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi didn't delay. After packing up and handing over a few things, they set out that very afternoon. Han Yunxi didn't tell Mu Ling 'er about this, so Mu Ling' er worked diligently in her pharmacy while humming a little tune. She had no idea that her Qi Brother was in grave danger!
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were in a hurry, so they couldn't take a carriage. They only knew how to ride horses.
As soon as Han Yunxi left the back door, she saw that Chu Xifeng had prepared three horses. Long Fei Ye and she each had one, while Chu Xifeng had just the right amount.
As Long Fei Ye mounted his horse, she prepared to do the same, but a white figure suddenly flew down from the roof and landed on the horse's back. The figure turned back with a slight smile, his otherworldly aura stunning the world. Unfortunately, the world collapsed as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't go over now, my big brother's going to get angry," Tang Li chuckled. This horse was his.
Han Yunxi didn't have time to banter with Tang Li. She looked back at Long Fei Ye and saw that Long Fei Ye's saddle was for two people. She obediently walked over.
Long Fei Ye's face was expressionless. He didn't say a word as he pulled Han Yunxi up. But as soon as she steadied herself, his large hands circled around her waist. So tight … so tight!
Long Feiye's actions were both punishment and protection, because as soon as he lashed out with the whip, the horse shot out like an arrow from a bow and began to gallop. It was so fast that Chu Xifeng and Tang Li couldn't catch up. They could only follow in silence and prepare a few more horses to keep them from dying of exhaustion.
It would take at least half a month to get from South Ning City to the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds in Medicine City! Would they make it in time to help Gu?
Just who did Gu run into at the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds? What happened?
Three days after Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi left, Gu Beiyue used the excuse of going to a branch store to leave the main branch in South Ning. Where was he going?
