Chapter 53: Poisoned

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Sensing something squirming by her feet, Su Jinyue turned her head and saw a venomous snake slowly slithering up her ankle. She was shocked and quickly swept the sickle in her hand towards the venomous snake. She knew that if she did this, she might be discovered by the other party, but if she did not kill this venomous snake, she would also suffer if it bit her and she would also be discovered by the other party. Thus, she might as well take a gamble.

Su Jinyue heaved a sigh of relief when the venomous snake was sliced into two by the sickle. She turned to look at Su Yanxi and realized that he was gone. Where is he? Did he leave?

She stood up and planned to leave this chaotic place as soon as possible.

She had just taken two steps when a blue figure appeared in front of her and blocked her way.

Su Jinyue was startled and she retreated hastily. She looked at Su Yanxi warily.

“Who are you? Why are you hiding here?” Su Yanxi looked at Su Jinyue coldly. He had discovered her a long time ago. With her current ability, it would be easy for him to kill her even if he was injured.

“I’m here to gather herbs.” Su Jinyue gripped the sickle tightly, her heart filled with anxiety. Is he going to kill her?

Su Yanxi glanced at the sickle in Su Jinyue’s hand and the basket on her back. “Are you from a nearby village?” For some reason, this girl gave him a familiar feeling, as though they had met before.

“Yeah.” Su Jinyue nodded, thinking of all sorts of ways to escape.

“What’s your name…?” Su Yanxi was about to ask Su Jinyue’s name and age when he felt a sharp pain in his chest. His face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of black blood. He had just taken a healing pill. With the healing effect of the Medicine Valley’s elixir, he should be able to fully recover in half an hour at most. However, he didn’t expect the other party to have put poison on his blade. He had been too careless this time. If he had discovered that he had been poisoned earlier, he would have been able to force the poison out with his internal energy. However, now that the poison had entered his energy center, he couldn’t even use his internal energy.

When Su Jinyue saw that Su Yanxi had vomited blood, she knew that this was an opportunity. She hurriedly ran away.

After running for a long time, Su Jinyue finally stopped. She turned around and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Yanxi wasn’t chasing after her. It was better to leave the mountain earlier.

After making her decision, Su Jinyue walked down the mountain. However, for some reason, whenever she thought of that man in blue, her heart felt stuffy. She was actually a little worried for him.

After hesitating for a moment, she sighed. “So be it.” Then, she turned around and ran towards Su Yanxi.

From afar, Su Jinyue saw Su Yanxi lying on the ground.

She ran to Su Yanxi and saw that he had fainted. She shook her head and used her X-ray vision to check Su Yanxi’s body. So he was poisoned.

She bent down and placed the basket beside her. Su Jinyue unbuttoned Su Yanxi’s clothes, revealing his firm chest and flat stomach.

Su Jinyue felt her face heating up. It was not that she had never seen a man’s body before, but it was just that the other party’s body was too perfect. It was as perfect as a meticulously carved statue, and it was not inferior to Yihan at all.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, she took out the silver needles that she carried with her and swiftly inserted them into Su Yanxi’s body. She then released her internal energy to probe into Su Yanxi’s meridians and slowly forced the poison to a corner.

After an hour, Su Jinyue gathered all the poison in Su Yanxi’s body and gave his chest thump.

Su Yanxi spat out another mouthful of black blood.

Su Jinyue wiped the sweat off her face and took out a stalk of Imperial Blood Grass from the basket. She crushed it with a rock and placed it in Su Yanxi’s mouth. The Imperial Blood Grass had the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying poison. It was very beneficial to Su Yanxi.

After she was done, Su Jinyue stood up and prepared to leave the mountain with the basket on her back. From the corner of her eye, she saw a black pouch the size of a palm embroidered with spider lilies beside Su Yanxi. It must have fallen out when she helped him remove his clothes.

She bent down to pick up the pouch and examined it for a while. She felt that it wasn’t too bad, so she placed it in her pocket. She glanced at Su Yanxi, who was still unconscious. “Treat this as medical fees.” She had already forced the poison out of him. It wouldn’t be long before he woke up. It was better for her to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would be in danger if he woke up.

Not long after Su Jinyue left, Su Yanxi woke up. He opened his eyes and assessed his body condition. He realized that the poison had been forced out and raised his eyebrows in surprise. Could it be that the girl had saved him?

He sat up and looked around. He noticed that there were some medicinal herbs on a rock beside him. His lips curled up slightly. “She really saved me. What a kind girl.”

He stood up and tidied his clothes. He realized that the small pouch that he had obtained from the man in black was gone. He thought for a moment before shaking his head with a smile. “It should be that girl who took it. Forget it. Just take it as a thank you gift for saving me.”

Before Su Jinyue reached home, she already saw Xu Tiansheng waiting for her at the door. She hurriedly ran over. “Teacher!”

Xu Tiansheng gave a slight nod of his head, and the worry in his heart finally eased. “When did you leave? Why didn’t you tell me?” Although Jin Yue had left a note, she had never gone out so early to pick herbs.

Su Jinyue touched her nose and said embarrassedly, “I went out in the middle of the night. Teacher, I’m sorry! I made you worry.” In the past, when she went out to pick herbs, she would always tell Teacher. This time, she only left a note. No wonder her Teacher was worried.

“You’re getting bolder and bolder. Aren’t you afraid of encountering danger by going out so late?” Xu Tiansheng glared at Su Jinyue and shook his head helplessly.

Su Jinyue stuck out her tongue and went forward to hold Xu Tiansheng’s arm. “Teacher, I’ve gained a lot this time. Let’s go in and I’ll show you.”

Hearing Su Jinyue’s voice, Fang Zhihong, who was writing the prescription for a patient, raised his head and said, “You’re finally back. Uncle Xu was so worried.” If he hadn’t stopped him, Uncle Xu would have gone out to look for her.

Su Jinyue smiled in embarrassment. “It won’t happen again, I promise.” She had searched several mountains, but she couldn’t find any herbs that contained spiritual energy. Furthermore, she had almost lost her life, so naturally, she couldn’t take the risk.

She removed the basket and placed it on the table. “Teacher, look. I picked a lot of herbs today.” Although there were no herbs that contained spiritual energy in the Calabash Mountain, there were many rare herbs.

Looking at the medicinal herbs in the basket, Xu Tiansheng’s eyes immediately revealed a trace of pleasant surprise. He stretched out his hand and took out a light purple medicinal herb from the basket. “Where did you find this Purple Blue Leaf?” Purple Blue Leaves were extremely rare, and they were not inferior to the ginseng he had dug up yesterday. He had already gone up the mountain to pick herbs for more than twenty years, yet he had never seen a single Purple Blue Leaf. He did not expect Jin Yue’s luck to be so good..
