Mu Jingrui saw snakes spitting out bright red tongues under the mechanism. He increased his strength and pulled Shangguan Wanning up.
At the same time, roll over and dodge.
Three sharp arrows still pierced Mu Jingrui's body.
Although he was not injured in any vital parts, he found that the blood he was bleeding was dark red.
The arrows are poisonous.
Shangguan Wanning watched Mu Jingrui grit his teeth and pull out the sharp arrow, his eyes still full of murderous intent.
When she pounced on Mu Jingrui again, Mu Jingrui reluctantly took out a pill from his sleeve and stuffed it into Shangguan Wanning's mouth.
Shangguan Wanning had a splitting headache and rolled on the ground for a few times before fainting.
She didn't know how long she had been unconscious. When she woke up again, she saw Mu Jingrui lying not far from her, unconscious.
Some fragments flashed through Shangguan Wanning's mind intermittently, and she didn't understand why she suddenly wanted to kill Mu Jingrui.
“Jingrui…Jingrui…” Shangguan Wanning patted Mu Jingrui’s cheek, flustered, “Don’t be in trouble, please don’t be in trouble…”
Shangguan Wanning's tears dripped onto Mu Jingrui's face. He slowly opened his eyes and immediately looked at Shangguan Wanning's arm.
It has been restored to its original state.
That pill was indeed a detoxifying medicine.
"Ning'er..." Mu Jingrui stood up with the help of Shangguan Wanning.
He secretly practiced his Qi, and felt a needle-like pain in his Dantian. He frowned and endured the pain without crying out.
"Are you okay?" Mu Jingrui asked with concern.
Shangguan Wanning shook her head, bewildered. "What on earth happened?"
"This..." Mu Jingrui didn't know what to say, "The mechanism will not be activated again in the short term. I'll go get you the medical book, so... you can save your mother."
"No, don't..." Shangguan Wanning looked towards the stone table, and there seemed to be a huge crisis hidden beneath her calmness.
She held Mu Jingrui's hand tightly. "Jingrui, I don't want the medical book anymore... I'll think of another way to save my mother. I don't want you to get hurt."
Mu Jingrui smiled slightly and reached out to gently stroke Shangguan Wanning's face.
"We've come this far. If I give up now, wouldn't I have been hurt in vain?" Mu Jingrui stared at Shangguan Wanning's clear eyes. His heart was filled with excitement, and he couldn't help but lean over and gently kiss the corner of her eyes.
"Ning'er, no matter when, as long as it is something you want to do, I will do it for you." After Mu Jingrui finished speaking, he jumped to the stone table with one breath, lifted the cloth on the stone table, and packed up the ten medical books.
This time, it went very smoothly.
"Come on, let's go out."
Mu Jingrui pressed several major acupoints on his body to temporarily stop the bleeding, and with the support of Shangguan Wanning, he slowly walked out.
On the way out, Shangguan Wanning felt that Mu Jingrui was getting weaker and weaker, and his steps were getting heavier and slower.
She tried hard to hold back her tears, and she mustered up the courage to pretend to ignore the poisonous snakes and insects she encountered along the way.
Finally, Shangguan Wanning helped Mu Jingrui out of the cave.
Sun Jinyao came over immediately.
"Are you okay?" Sun Jinyao asked anxiously.
"Wow, you have some skills. You can actually come out alive."
A figure jumped down from the tree branch and stood in front of Shangguan Wanning and Mu Jingrui with his hands behind his back.
Shangguan Wanning placed ten medical books on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "I have passed your test, and you must keep your promise."
"Don't worry, I, Lu Xiangzi, am trustworthy. I can leave Yaowang Valley with you and go to the capital at any time to treat your mother. If I can't cure her, I will be buried with her. But..."
Lu Xiangzi walked over, squatted down, lifted Mu Jingrui's chin, and looked at him carefully.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... What a shame, what a shame. This kid is definitely not going to make it. Judging from his appearance, he shouldn't have such a short life. Alas, even a hero can be tempted by beauty!"
Seeing Lu Xiangzi turning around and about to leave, Shangguan Wanning grabbed his clothes and begged, "Dr. Lu, I beg you to have mercy and save Jing Rui..."
"Girl, don't be too greedy. You asked me to save one after another, this... is not in accordance with the rules."
Shangguan Wanning looked back and saw that Mu Jingrui had completely fainted.
She had learned some medical skills from Doctor Qin, and she knew that Mu Jingrui had been poisoned. She had no confidence in detoxifying herself.
"Dr. Lu, as long as you are willing to save Jing Rui, I am willing to exchange my life for yours."
Lu Xiangzi's face changed, and he said coldly: "What? Do you want to tell me that your love will last until death? Let me tell you, there is no such love in the world."
"Divine Doctor Lu..."
"Okay, don't think I don't know. The reason you were able to walk out unscathed wasn't because of this kid. There was someone else who protected you."
Lu Xiangzi looked at Sun Jinyao meaningfully. "If you hadn't taken the antidote, you wouldn't have been able to cure the spider's poison. Even though you cheated, I still kept my promise and did my best."
After saying this, Lu Xiangzi turned away.
"Divine Doctor Lu..."
Shangguan Wanning wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Sun Jinyao.
"Forget it. This old monster is so hard-hearted. It's useless to beg him. Let's think of other ways."
Shangguan Wanning felt heartbroken, but she could do nothing about it.
With the help of Sun Jinyao, she helped Mu Jingrui into the room to rest. After taking his pulse, she found that the poison in Mu Jingrui spread very quickly. If he was not treated, even if he saved his life, he would become a disabled person in the future.
This is absolutely unacceptable for Mu Jingrui, who is so proud.
"Eat something." Sun Jinyao brought food to Shangguan Wanning.
Shangguan Wanning stood up, looked at Sun Jinyao and said, "I remember when we were in the cave, Jing Rui fed me something. Now that I think about it, it should be the antidote that Doctor Lu mentioned. He said... someone helped me. Was it you?"
Sun Jinyao didn't answer directly, but handed the chopsticks to Shangguan Wanning. "Eat."
"Thank you, you saved me twice." Shangguan Wanning took the chopsticks and asked in a low voice, "Why did you help me?"
Sun Jinyao's heart was startled, but he remained calm on the surface.
"After the incident at my house, everyone is trying to avoid me. Why are you helping me?"
"Those are just a piece of cake."
"It's a timely help to me. Just think of it as me repaying you a favor." Sun Jinyao looked at Mu Jingrui lying on the bed, "You should think about how to save him."
Shangguan Wanning felt sad again.
"Mr. Sun, do you know... where Doctor Lu usually keeps his medicine?"
Sun Jinyao saw through Shangguan Wanning's thoughts at a glance and shook his head.
"His medicine is useless even if it's placed everywhere. You don't even know what poison Mu Jingrui was poisoned by; even if you knew what the poison was, you might not be able to find the antidote among so many herbs."
