Chapter 193 Fighting Poison with Poison

"Then we can only use the second method."

Doctor Liu took out a small porcelain bottle containing a poison he had just developed.

Another method is to use this poison to fight poison with poison, which is expected to achieve the same goal of eradicating the strange poison that Jingshu was infected with, and it takes less time and is more effective.

But because it is a first attempt, it may have some drawbacks, such as some unpredictable sequelae.

When it comes to detoxification, haste makes waste. If you want it to be quick and effective, you have to pay a price.

After listening to Doctor Liu's story, Jingshu asked him how long it would take if the second method was used and whether the sequelae would be serious.

This means that he has actually made a choice.

He wants to choose the second one.

Divine Doctor Liu's interest suddenly grew, and he rubbed his hands eagerly, saying, "Don't worry. Fighting poison with poison will completely remove the toxins from your body in two days at the earliest, and less than seven at the latest. As for any aftereffects, I'll do my best to ensure you're completely unharmed. At most, you'll have a few headaches or something like that afterwards, and I'll provide you with appropriate treatment then."

With his words, Jing Shu instantly made up his mind. Without hesitation, he extended his hand and said, "There's no time to lose. Let's get started now."

Doctor Liu then took out a small knife and began to burn the candle. The small porcelain bottle next to it had been opened, and bubbles of poison were bubbling out of it.

Jingshu watched his movements with calm eyes. When the blade broke through the skin and the venom seeped in, the intense stinging sensation made him groan uncontrollably.

Rong Zhen was waiting outside. Upon hearing the noise, she couldn't hide her anxiety and asked loudly, "What's wrong? Is the toxin taking effect again?"

"I'm...fine..." Jingshu said weakly while biting his back teeth.

Rong Zhen became even more anxious when she heard this. She couldn't help but stretch her neck, lean over, and lie at the door in a slightly funny posture, trying to peek inside and take a look.

Patriarch Huang finished his work and came over with Yuan Que. He coughed twice and said, "If Miss Song is really worried, why not let Yuan Que go in and take a look at you? He can also lend a hand to Divine Doctor Liu."

Rongzhen didn't notice a sudden sound behind him, and his foot slipped and he almost fell to the ground.

"Sister Song, be careful. Don't panic outside. I'll go in and look after Hero Jingshu for you." Yuan Que supported Rong Zhen in time, said something quickly, turned around and ran into the clinic.

Rong Zhen hurriedly thanked him, and after he steadied himself, he met Patriarch Huang's teasing gaze, and could not help but clear his throat awkwardly: "Thank you, Patriarch Huang, for your trouble."

Patriarch Huang twirled a paper fan in his hand, ordered his men to bring two armchairs and set them outside the clinic, and sat down with Rong Zhen to drink tea. "Actually, I really hope you'll continue to call me Brother Huang."

"Ahem, sorry!" Rongzhen choked on the tea and her face turned red.

It was originally a nickname she used to call someone in private, but she never expected that one day it would be exposed on the spot. So how did he know it?

This brings us to the fact that Shengji Pavilion has great powers. There are many talented people in it, and many of them know lip reading. Maybe Rongzhen secretly called out "Brother Dahuang" one time and was caught and "heard" by their men.

However, after hearing this, Sect Master Huang felt that this address was quite intimate, and that he truly treated him as a friend, rather than as the head of a sect whom he respected, feared, and apprehended.

So in order to divert Rongzhen's attention, he specifically mentioned this matter and allowed her to call him Brother Dahuang from now on.

Rong Zhen coughed awkwardly and said, "I'm glad you don't mind. I really treat you as my brother."

Patriarch Huang took a sip of tea, glanced at the now silent clinic, and said with a smile, "Don't let your brother in the room hear this, or he'll vomit blood again, hahaha."

"You misunderstood, that's not what I meant. The two brothers are different..." Rongzhen quickly explained loudly.

However, it was too late. Two sounds of vomiting blood were heard in the clinic.

The two people outside were instantly numb.

Rongzhen didn't expect that someone in the house could be so jealous that this could be misunderstood. How insecure is he in this relationship? He is so easily worried about gains and losses!

Patriarch Huang was also completely shocked. He stood up and stammered to explain that he just wanted to lighten the atmosphere, tease the young couple, and help them to find a good match. He really had no bad intentions.

However, it now seems that good intentions may have led to bad consequences.

Oh, his life was a wise one!

Patriarch Huang was still smacking his lips in regret when Divine Doctor Liu roared in anger from inside the room: "Huang Yitian! Are you bored and have nothing to do? Did you take the medicine? Did you do the work? Do you want to die?"

"I don't want to, don't want to, doctor, I was wrong, I'm leaving now!" Huang Yitian dared to admit his mistake, and then he slipped away immediately.

After he ran away without looking back, Doctor Liu continued to scold Jingshu in the clinic.

"I told you not to let your thoughts wander so easily, but you're so emotional all the time that you don't even take my advice seriously!"

"Originally, I dared to guarantee that you wouldn't have any serious sequelae and that I could cure you later. But now, after what you've done, hey, the sequelae are definitely there. Just pray that you don't become blind and deaf!"

"They say love lasts forever, but heroes are short-tempered. The ancients were right."

He scolded Jingshu harshly and scolded him severely.

Jingshu ignored the words and while enduring the pain, he still argued, "It's my problem. It has nothing to do with her."

"I'm talking about you. She is much more rational than you." Doctor Liu glared at him with clear eyes, as if he was so angry that he was fuming because of his action that almost failed.

The Huang Sect Master didn't say anything just now, but he became jealous and his mood was very agitated, causing his blood to surge and causing more trouble.

Rong Zhen was listening outside and was extremely worried. When she saw Yuan Que coming out with a basin of blood, she hurriedly asked, "Yuan Que, how is he?"

Yuan Que looked at her concerned expression, rolled his eyes, sighed and shook his head, saying, "You must have heard it outside just now. When Hero Jingshu heard what you and Sect Master Huang said, he couldn't help but vomit blood again. I think you should tell him what he wants to hear, so that he can at least calm down and go through Master's treatment. Otherwise..."

Rong Zhen was struck by lightning and subconsciously asked, "What else will happen?"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid he can't hold on." Yuan Que sighed, splashed out the blood, and poured in a basin of clean water.

Rongzhen slumped down in the chair behind her, looking at the silent clinic. Scenes of her and that man's encounter flashed through her mind, finally settling on the scene under the sky full of pink cotinus flowers, where he leaned over to her face to face, hinting at his feelings.

Although she didn't want to admit it, at that moment, in that environment and atmosphere, she was actually jumping for joy.

It was just that reason overwhelmed emotion, and the feeling of being moved was suppressed too quickly, so she ignored it and just thought it was a normal physiological reaction when being tempted by a man.

It turned out that without realizing it, before she even noticed, she had already fallen in love with this man.

The so-called habit is an illusion.

"Jingshu, you have to hold on. I won't look for a future husband anymore. I'll wait for you to get through this safely, and then go strolling with me through the cotinus forest outside the town."

Rongzhen suddenly stood up and shouted these words towards the clinic. In her heart, she had already made up her mind and acknowledged what she really wanted. She decided to give each other a real chance without regrets, instead of just perfunctorily treating him for the sake of his health as she had done before.

"I heard everything." Jingshu suddenly appeared at the door of the clinic. Facing Rongzhen's trembling and doubtful gaze, he approached without any abnormality, took her hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Words are spoken, and there's no going back. Let's go see the cotinus flowers now."

Rongzhen was dragged outside and quickly came to her senses: "No, no, are you okay?"

Apart from the fact that his voice was still a little deep and hoarse, Jingshu looked no different from before. On the contrary, because he was in a good mood, Rong Guang looked even more radiant.

Does he look like someone who can spit out basins of blood and is about to die?

Could it be that she was too concerned and was fooled by him?

Jingshu turned around and said with his back to Guang: "I'm fine for now. Because I heard what you said, I tried my best to hold on."

It won't happen that quickly, and her words aren't a panacea! Rongzhen looked at him with a 'Are you kidding?' expression.

Jingshu held her hand tightly, and even went further, interlocking their fingers. Seeing that she didn't object, he smiled and changed the subject: "Divine Doctor Liu suggested that I go out and move around to promote the effectiveness of the medicine. And since you said you wanted to go outside the town to see the cotinus coggygria flowers, let's go now."

"Are you really going?" Rongzhen hesitated.

Seeing that he was okay, she couldn't help but regain her sanity.

"Of course I will go." Jing Shu knew that he couldn't let her hesitate any longer, so he simply said "I'm sorry" and then put his arms around her slender waist. He stepped directly on the wall and the roof, and flew out of the town through the empty road.

Rongzhen exclaimed softly, instinctively hugging his shoulders and burying her head in his arms, listening to the wind whistling past her ears and the whistles and jokes of the people below.

There was even a female warrior who settled the score with her lover on the spot, saying, "Look at others, they can fly so well while holding their loved ones. When can you hold me and fly like this?!"

Upon hearing this, the thinner chivalrous warrior immediately begged for mercy: "How could I have such a skill? I used to rely on my brain. You are a top-notch martial artist. Why don't you try to lift me up and fly like this?"

“…………”

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Jingshu flew over their heads holding Rongzhen, leaving behind a burst of joyful laughter.

When Rongzhen finally got used to it and dared to peek outside, she had already been taken to the pink clouds outside the town. Facing the spring breeze and accompanied by flower petals, she was floating leisurely in the flower forest like a fairy.

"Your martial arts skills are so good?" Rong Zhen climbed onto Jingshu's shoulders, leaned forward to admire the beautiful scenery in front of her, and was not afraid at all.

It feels so good to be able to fly, and it feels so good to be carried flying.

Jingshu passed by a tree of pink flowers and stopped on a branch. He whispered to her amidst the flowers and leaves, "Do you want to learn? If I have time in the future, I can teach you."

Rongzhen naturally wanted to learn.

But don't forget that any knowledge in this world is a very valuable treasure. Some people would rather keep it to themselves than pass it on to others. So would his master agree to let him teach it to outsiders casually?

Jingshu said that he had no master and she was not an outsider.

"Who is not a stranger to you?" Rong Zhen glanced at him sideways, and her eyes unconsciously shone with a charming color, more beautiful than the pink clouds in the sky.

Jing Shu's heart was pounding as he read it, as if a lonely ship had finally found its harbor.

He bowed his head and whispered, "You, from the first moment I saw you in the heavy rain that day, I knew it was you."

Rongzhen suddenly opened her eyes wide.
