"Poisoning?"

Chu Juan's expression suddenly hardened, his gaze fixed on the conspicuous black patch on her face.

On the surface, her complexion was rosy and radiant, and her lips were pink and luscious, showing no signs of poisoning.

This time, ignoring her resistance, he forcibly grabbed her wrist and immediately began to take her pulse.

Su Yuxi looked at his lowered eyebrows and eyes, his originally gentle temperament had become quite oppressive, which scared her so much that she dared not struggle.

The room fell completely silent; everyone held their breath, and the atmosphere inexplicably became tense.

She was very confident in her health, but seeing his furrowed brows, anyone who didn't know better would think she had some incurable disease.

Suddenly she felt uncertain. Could it be that there was something wrong with her body?

Three minutes later, Chu Juan withdrew his hand, his solemn expression carrying a hint of doubt. He repeatedly examined her face, paying particular attention to the black mark.

Her pulse was steady and strong, and there were no signs of poisoning in her body. She was healthier than anyone else, and she didn't even have the sub-health condition that most people have now.

But her face...

Suddenly, a bold guess popped into his head, and he asked in surprise, "Did you force all the toxins onto your face?"

If it's true, how did she do it?

Su Yuxi chuckled twice, not intending to hide anything, and nodded honestly.

Upon receiving the answer, Chu Juan did not feel relieved; instead, his brows furrowed even more, as if he were looking at something unbelievable.

In his understanding, if a person is poisoned, the toxins should travel throughout the body, eroding various organs, damaging the nervous system, and eventually leading to death.

Instead of accumulating toxins in one place, what normal person could do that?

Could it be that these herb gatherers have some unique secret technique?

He took two steps forward, closing the distance between them. When he got closer, he smelled a minty, grassy scent on her, unlike the smell of the shower gel at home. This scent also had an invigorating effect.

"May I touch it?" This time, Chu Juan didn't touch it directly. Instead, he spoke in a calm and gentle voice, as if he was afraid that Chu Juan would refuse.

He was very interested in figuring out how the toxins got onto her face; this was a fascinating question for doctors like him.

Su Yuxi wanted to refuse, but seeing the thirst for knowledge in his eyes, she finally softened and nodded.

The next second, a smooth, calloused fingertip gently poked her cheek, a warm, ticklish sensation.

Chu Juan stared intently at her face, poking it left and right with his finger, treating it like a fun toy.

His impression of this face was: smooth and elastic, with barely visible pores; apart from the different color, there was no other difference.

He reluctantly withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before asking, "Do you know what kind of poison it is?"

Su Yuxi tried hard to recall what the snake looked like, and said uncertainly, "It's probably a toman snake..."

"I felt okay at first after being poisoned by snake venom, but it got worse after the flaming fruit pulp splashed onto my face."

Chu Juan gasped, his voice losing its usual composure: "Are you sure it's a Gyrma?"

But thinking about it, "It's probably impossible. Once this kind of snake bites you, no matter how severe the bite, you will die within three minutes at the latest. It's basically certain that you will die after being bitten."

If she were truly a gyrfalcon, she wouldn't still be standing here.

He had never heard of the Flame Fruit containing any toxins, but it was not impossible that the collision of the two would catalyze the toxins, making the condition more severe.

"Did you mistake me for someone else? Are you feeling unwell right now?"

"For example, blurred vision, difficulty breathing, body aches, etc."

Seeing his confident expression, Su Yuxi also began to think carefully. The tarantula was so ugly and smelled like pollen, which was very deceptive: "It should be right."

"I'm fine, I don't feel uncomfortable."

"You don't need to worry about my body. It should digest itself in a while."

"Just consider me to have a special constitution."

Chu Juan's face was full of disbelief. Theoretically, if you are poisoned by snake venom, you should be given antivenom. He had never heard of any snake venom that could be digested by the body.

He continued to stare at the black mark on his face, and after thinking for a moment, he still felt uneasy: "I'll take you to the hospital in a bit to have your blood drawn for testing."

If it really is a draco, perhaps a little blood could be extracted to study the extent to which the toxins produced by the draco and the flame fruit can reach.

Even if it's not a tarantula, other venomous snakes are equally worthy of study.

Thinking this was the case, his interest was piqued, and his gaze towards her became much more ardent.

"No need." Su Yuxi felt uncomfortable under his gaze and took a few steps back, instinctively wanting to refuse. She didn't want to go anywhere, and she didn't want others to see her face.

“We must go.” Fu Huaijin, who was standing aside and ignored by everyone, spoke coldly.

Three very ordinary words, yet the way he uttered them carried a chilling aura.

The two of them looked at him at the same time, only then realizing that there was another person standing there silently, whom they had completely ignored.

When Su Yuxi met his dark and cold gaze, she shrank back in fear, chuckled twice, and suddenly thought that it might be worthwhile to go and see him. If there was a way to help her detoxify faster, that would be good too.

"Then... let's go take a look."

Before they could make any more unreasonable demands, she spoke first: "Now that we've agreed on this, can I go eat first?"

She didn't know she had slept for three days; she only felt that after waking up, her stomach was flat and she was very hungry.

It felt like the meal I ate last night was a complete waste; it was all digested in no time.

Chu Juan finally remembered the question: "Okay, but you've been sleeping for three days, would you like some porridge first? I'll prepare other meat dishes for you later?"

He was worried that her stomach wouldn't be able to handle it.

Su Yuxi was secretly alarmed. Had she slept for that long?

But then she realized that she hadn't slept well for a long time and had been on edge the whole way back, either afraid that someone would steal her medicine or that someone would stop her car, which made her very anxious the whole time.

It's already quite good that you can recover after three days of sleep.

She patted her belly and boldly refused, "No need, just give me meat. I can eat a whole cow."

Just kidding, giving her two bowls of porridge is no different from giving her two bottles of water.

Chu Juan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately listened to her opinion. Her constitution was quite special and could not be explained by the same theories as ordinary people.

So I had someone arrange it as soon as possible.

As they talked, they began discussing the batch of medicinal herbs, and slowly walked towards the door.

They were like old friends who had found common ground on a problem and were eager to share it all.

As their figures gradually disappeared through the doorway, Fu Huaijin remained standing there alone, his figure inexplicably appearing more fragile and lonely.

A tickling sensation rose in his throat. He raised his hand, loosely clenched it into a fist, and pressed it to his lips. A series of soft coughs echoed in the empty room, but the two people at the door seemed not to hear them and continued walking downstairs. Their conversation shifted from the medicinal herbs to themselves.

Su Yuxi asked softly, "He's coughing again, do you want to go check on him?"

Chu Juan answered without hesitation, "No need, it's an old problem of his, a cough a couple of times won't hurt."

"Yeah?"

When Su Yuxi was asked about this topic, she casually inquired about Fu Huaijin's situation.

Chu Juan thought for a moment and then told her some things he could tell her.

Fu Huaijin's body was indeed weaker than that of an ordinary person during the day. He would pant after three steps and pant heavily after five steps. He could not get too excited. He would lie down if he could, and sit if he could, and stand if he could sit. Taking care of him was more meticulous than taking care of a porcelain doll.

So I also told her to try not to upset Fu Huaijin during the day, and it would be best not to run into him at all, because it would be difficult to deal with if something happened.

As for the evening, Fu Huaijin's physical condition was comparable to an impenetrable fortress, something no normal person could match. He would advise anyone else to stay away, but not Su Yuxi.

They still need Su Yuxi to make Fu Huaijin's nights easier.

In summary, he felt relieved at night, but was very worried about him during the day.

The three rare medicinal herbs needed this time are for researching and controlling Fu Huaijin's illness, and his burden will only become heavier in the future.
