The mane master was relieved. Although he was a divine beast, he knew the wickedness of human nature. If so many people went at the same time, his mother would be in great danger if someone had ill intentions.
"Sister Mian, can I come with you?" Mu Bai whispered.
"Sure," the hairdresser said before Dongfang Mian could answer, as he felt that bringing along a child was no different from bringing along an object.
So, the poison masters stayed behind to collect the Soul-Severing Grass after it matured, while Dongfang Mian first took Mu Bai to treat the hair-wielding master's mother.
After everything was arranged, Dongfang Mian and Mu Bai mounted the mane master's back and rode away.
The poison masters sat around the Soul-Severing Grass, chatting idly while waiting for it to mature.
"It will take about three hours for this Soul-Severing Grass to mature. By then, the Eastern Poison Master should be back too."
"I think the Eastern Poison Master will be back in two hours."
"You're all wrong. I think the Eastern Poison Master can solve this in an hour."
"How about we start a betting game?"
"Alright, let's bet. First, let's tally up the numbers. Does anyone think the Poison Master from the East will be back in half an hour?"
"...I think we don't need to gamble anymore."
"Why? You're not scared, are you?"
"No, the main thing is that the Eastern Poison Master has returned..."
A voice rang out, and the poison masters then noticed the figure of the Mane Master rushing towards them from afar. At this moment, he appeared exceptionally relaxed and excited.
"Could it be that it's already healed?" the poison master asked.
"I feel like even being cured of death wouldn't be this fast..."
After bringing Dongfang Mian and Mu Bai back, the hairdresser bowed respectfully to her before disappearing from everyone's sight again.
Knowing that it would take another three hours for the Soul-Severing Grass to mature, Dongfang Mian took out the chaise lounge and rested comfortably.
The attitude of the poison masters towards her this time was completely different. After Dongfang Mian rested, the poison masters were afraid that she would get sunburned, so they built a sunshade around her and provided her with tea, pastries and everything else, all placed within Dongfang Mian's reach.
The few female drug addicts were all assigned to serve her personally. One senior drug addict helped Dongfang Mian by massaging her head, another by rubbing her shoulders, and yet another by massaging her legs. Oh, and there was also one who specifically scratched Aju's belly.
Anyone who didn't know better would think this was a grand procession of young masters and ladies from a prominent family.
Several members of the Mu family who were passing by nearby were astonished by what they saw.
"Do you think these people might be poison masters sent by the Shi family?"
"Impossible! Have you ever seen a poison master treat people like this? Not poisoning you is already being very polite."
"That's right, let's hurry, the patriarch is waiting for our good news."
"Yes, hurry up, let's go check over there again. It's been almost a day, and we haven't seen a single poisoner."
"It seems the poison master the Shi family hired this time is quite skilled; he's even adept at stealth. We must be even more cautious in our future actions."
Meanwhile, three hours later, the Soul-Severing Grass matured. After enjoying three comfortable hours, Dongfang Mian led everyone out of the Poisonous Swamp Forest and found the person in charge of the Shi family waiting outside.
"What are you doing out here?" the Shi family asked, puzzled. "Didn't you just go in less than a day ago?"
"What are you doing inside after you're done?" Dongfang Mian said.
"It's...it's all over?" The Shi family couldn't believe their ears.
"You doubt my words?" Dongfang Mian lightly rubbed her fingertips together, and a wisp of black smoke drifted out.
