Li Changfeng, the King of Assassins, is entrusted by his master to protect a wealthy young lady. However, he is met with rejection, and the two begin a battle of wits. What kind of sparks will fly ...
Du Xiaoyue swayed unsteadily, on the verge of falling.
Li Changfeng reacted quickly and caught him.
"Xiaoyue, what's wrong?" Li Changfeng asked worriedly.
"Changfeng, I...I think I've been poisoned." Du Xiaoyue realized her physical condition.
Li Changfeng grabbed Du Xiaoyue's pulse, his expression turning cold. "You have indeed been poisoned. I didn't even notice. I was careless."
“Changfeng, it must have been the couple who had the argument at noon who did something, they must have used some tricks.” Du Xiaoyue thought for a moment and then mentioned the suspect.
"Xiaoyue, keep quiet, let me detoxify you first."
Do you know anything about medicine?
"Please remove the 'ma' part. Come on, sit on the sofa."
"Sit up straight." Li Changfeng then took out a silver needle, which gleamed with a cold light and was covered with surging internal energy.
Without saying a word, he aimed the needles at the acupoints on his body.
Li Changfeng had a general idea of what kind of poison he had been given.
It's not difficult to remove it.
Li Changfeng's medical skills are beyond question; very few poisons can stump him.
Most of them were easily accomplished.
After a series of acupuncture needle pricks and internal force massage, Li Changfeng made a cut on the tip of Du Xiaoyue's little finger, and black blood flowed down.
It was accompanied by a foul stench.
It took about two minutes for it to gradually regain its normal color.
"Alright, I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Start taking it tomorrow, and you'll be fine after three days." Li Changfeng put away the silver needles, calm and confident.
"Thank you!" Du Xiaoyue's complexion was much better; at least she had a bit of color back.
When the poison took effect, a hazy black aura enveloped her face.
Now the black mist has dissipated and disappeared without a trace.
"Let's not go back and forth with thanks; it's too formal."
Li Changfeng changed the subject, "Xiaoyue, there's something I have to say."
"What is it?" Du Xiaoyue stood up, stretched her limbs, and her previous discomfort vanished, leaving her feeling completely at ease.
“You have other poisons in your body.”
"Huh?" Du Xiaoyue exclaimed in surprise, "There's more?"
"Yes, to be precise, it's a Gu poison." Li Changfeng made a definitive judgment.
"Those siblings are so ruthless; they actually used two different methods on me," Du Xiaoyue stomped her foot.
"You bastard, you son of a bitch!"
"I have to go back and make those two scoundrels pay a heavy price." Du Xiaoyue was decisive and acted on her thoughts quickly, making a move to leave.
"Xiaoyue, you've been infected by Gu worms. Are you sure you can fight again?" Li Changfeng advised, blocking her path. "Now is not the time to be reckless. Don't let anger cloud your judgment."
"You may not know how powerful the Gu worms are; once they take effect, the pain is unbearable."
"Whether it takes effect or not is up to the person who cast the spell."
"Are you going to cause trouble for someone, or are you going to get abused?"
Du Xiaoyue took three deep breaths to suppress her indignation. "Changfeng, do you have any way to remove the Gu from my body?"
Li Changfeng shook his head.
"If I were the one who was poisoned, I would have a way to force it out and remove it."
"I am powerless to help others who are poisoned."
Gu has always been mysterious and unpredictable in China, and outsiders are wary of it.
There are countless legends and stories, enough to tell in a day and a night.
The most well-known is the love potion.
This thing is a mystery, existing only in rumors, and many people question its authenticity.
Is it just a fabricated story based on hearsay, or does this incredible skill truly exist in the world?
I hereby solemnly declare that the practice of using witchcraft is indeed true.
Most Miao people, especially those practicing esoteric Buddhism, are skilled in using witchcraft.
To kill without leaving a trace, without anyone knowing.
There are many kinds of Gu worms, each with its own unique characteristics, such as the Golden Silkworm Gu, the Love Flower Gu, the Snake Gu, the Stone Gu, and so on...
Each type of Gu worm has a different function.
The Gu worms in Du Xiaoyue reproduce quickly and are highly active. Moreover, Gu worms are generally very intelligent. If you can't kill them all at once, it will be much more difficult to get rid of them, and the difficulty will increase tenfold.
Li Changfeng dared not take the risk.
Even if you are 80% sure you can remove it, you shouldn't try it lightly.
It's better to be safe than sorry; if things aren't handled properly, Ms. Du could face death.
"Changfeng, what should we do now?" Du Xiaoyue asked.
"The one who tied the knot must untie it. I'll go back to where I left off and find that brother and sister. They'll naturally have a way to deal with the curse they cast," Li Changfeng said after a moment of contemplation.
"Okay, thank you." Du Xiaoyue said gratefully.
“We’re friends, and we got into this mess together, so it’s only right that I help you.”
"Don't worry, stay home. I'll be back soon." Li Changfeng was ready to leave immediately, hoping to get there sooner and resolve the situation quickly.
"I'll go with you."
Li Changfeng smiled faintly, "What? Are you afraid I'll just leave and abandon you?"
“I have absolutely no such idea.”
"Then wait for good news." Li Changfeng picked up the car keys by the door. "Can I borrow your car?"
"Okay, take it and open it."
Li Changfeng drove non-stop to the remote town, the car whirring and swaying, almost falling apart.
Even though the road was bumpy and uneven, Li Changfeng maintained a certain speed.
Fortunately, Du Xiaoyue bought an off-road vehicle, which generally couldn't withstand Li Changfeng's reckless driving.
Instead of searching aimlessly, Li Changfeng parked his car directly at the small restaurant where he was eating.
In this unfamiliar place, how easy is it to find two strangers?
It's like finding a needle in a haystack.
Asking the locals will save you a lot of trouble.
The boss even knew the brother and sister.
Otherwise, why didn't they step in to stop the conflict when it occurred in the restaurant?
Even saying a few polite words or offering some gentle advice would be reasonable.
However, the young couple did not show their faces at all.
Is this normal?
Is this normal behavior?
Even if the boss didn't know the siblings, he must have guessed the details and knew something.
"Young man, please have a seat. What would you like to eat?"
"Our restaurant specializes in dishes that will leave you wanting more and unable to stop eating."
Li Changfeng's lips curled up. "Boss, are you pretending not to recognize me?"
The boss was stunned for a moment, squinted and looked at it carefully for a few moments, then suddenly laughed awkwardly, "Oh, it's you."
"If you didn't eat well at noon, all the food tonight will be 40% off."
"Boss, I'm not here for lunch." Li Changfeng tapped the table. "I need to ask you something. Who are the brother and sister who had a fight with us at noon today? Where do they live?"
"Young man, I don't know." The shopkeeper shook his head. "It seems like this is their first time here too; I've never seen them before."
"Bang!" Li Changfeng slammed a thousand yuan on the table.
"If you say so, this money is yours."
"Brother, you're making things difficult for me. So many people come to eat every day, how am I supposed to know everyone's information?"
"Aren't you flattering me?"
"Slap!" Li Changfeng slapped out another two thousand.
As the old saying goes, money can make the devil turn the millstone.
If you can't push it out, it means you don't have enough money.
