"Qiu San Niang?"
Chu Heng was puzzled as to why Yan Xiao would suddenly inquire about that person, and upon hearing Qiu San Niang's name, his brows furrowed, and his expression showed some disgust.
"I have heard of it, and not only have I heard of it, but I also met it once many years ago."
That person is ruthless and inhuman; he's no good, and definitely not someone to associate with. Why did you suddenly ask her why, Madam?
Chu Heng's evaluation was actually quite subtle.
Qiu San Niang's willingness to use people from a small county town as test subjects for poison reveals the cruelty of her heart.
While Chu Heng was also obsessed with poisons, he tested them on himself, making the difference between the two quite obvious. It was entirely understandable that he disliked or even hated Qiu San Niang.
Yan Xiao didn't try to hide anything, saying directly:
"I heard that Qiu San Niang is currently in Yanyun City and working for Qi Chengfeng. Since I've decided to go, I still need to make some preparations. Although I know medicine, I still need to take some precautions."
I was thinking that since you're quite knowledgeable about poisons, could you give me some poison-avoidance pills or something to save my life?
Yan Xiao had thought it through clearly. Her healing ability was not yet at level three. It was enough for normal use, but now that she was going to venture into the lion's den, she had to be fully prepared.
If you encounter a situation where you don't have enough healing energy and you don't have anything to sustain you until your powers are restored, then you're done for.
She went there to kill someone, not to deliver food. It would be such a shame if she were to be caught in a trap.
Chu Heng did not doubt the source of Yan Xiao's information, assuming it was obtained by a spy from the General's Mansion.
After hearing Yan Xiao's words, he didn't hesitate at all and nodded, indicating that he could give Yan Xiao some things to save her life.
Su Yuanyuan was much more enthusiastic than Chu Heng. The moment Chu Heng nodded, she took out a small bundle from a cabinet and opened it in front of Yan Xiao.
As she took the items out, she carefully explained them to Yanxiao:
"Madam, this bottle contains the poison-avoidance pills. You can take them out and hold them in your mouth or swallow them. However, they can only prevent you from inhaling poisonous fumes, thus achieving the effect of avoiding poison. Orally ingested poison is useless."
However, it directly prevents you from inhaling toxic fumes, so it is effective against any kind of toxic fumes. This is a treasure that my senior brother has been developing for a long time.
This is a poison test powder. Just put a little bit on something poisonous, and it will change color, thus indicating whether it is poisonous or not.
This is called "Five Bewildering Paths," but that's the name I gave it. This thing is incredibly powerful. If you inhale just a tiny bit, you'll treat the first person you see as your closest or dearest person, which can be used to gather information or other things.
And this, this is Soul-Severing Powder...
Yan Xiao looked at the various bottles and jars that Su Yuanyuan took out one by one, and listened to Su Yuanyuan's explanation. She couldn't help but swallow.
People who can use poison are truly terrifying; they're practically impossible to guard against.
Not only can it poison people, it can also control them. With that kind of mind control, it would be incredibly easy to use it for interrogation or to do something shameful like climbing through windows.
Fortunately, Chu Heng is a virtuous man; otherwise, how many innocent women would he have harmed? If that womanizer had such a thing, he would be overjoyed.
Yan Xiao realized her thoughts had wandered a bit, and quickly brought her attention back, but her gaze towards Chu Heng held a newfound respect.
"Young Master Chu truly lives up to his reputation as the eldest disciple of Medicine King Valley; he is indeed a remarkable talent."
The way he used words to praise people was too modern, making Chu Heng feel extremely awkward.
He coughed lightly, waved his hand dismissively, and replied:
"Madam is too kind. I'm just interested in these things. Yuanyuan has already explained their uses. Madam, please see what you need and choose for yourself."
Yan Xiao glanced at the bottles and jars that filled most of the table, coughed, and then shamelessly said:
"Young Master Chu, could you give me all of these things? I think I really need them."
After saying this, fearing that Chu Heng might be reluctant, he quickly analyzed the situation for him:
"Look, if I don't come back, you probably won't survive either. So these things will be useless to you. I might as well keep them for self-defense. Don't you think that makes sense?"
Chu Heng glanced at Yan Xiao speechlessly, wondering how such a beautiful appearance could conceal such a personality.
As a man, when I first saw Yanxiao's true face, I was actually amazed by her beauty, and even felt a little flutter in my heart.
However, the moment the other person opened their mouth, that flutter of emotion vanished without a trace.
He even felt that his adorable junior sister was more endearing than Yanxiao.
A woman like Yan Xiao is more suited to someone like Shen Muzhi; otherwise, most people would find it difficult to sleep peacefully at night if they were with her.
If Shen Muzhi knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him that he also rarely slept peacefully, but was just experiencing pain and pleasure at the same time.
Seeing that her senior brother was only looking at Yan Xiao with a complicated expression and not saying a word, Su Yuanyuan quickly packed up all the bottles and jars on the table and pushed them all in front of Yan Xiao:
"Madam, please don't be so polite. My senior brother can make more of these things. Please take them and use them. If you need more, I'll have him make you some more."
Yan Xiao's eyes lit up when she heard this:
"Really? Then I won't stand on ceremony. I still have one day before I set off. If it's convenient for you, Young Master Chu, could you please get me some more of these items?"
Su Yuanyuan, who had been polite, was confused.
Without saying a word, he became a mere tool. Chu Heng:......
Chu Heng glanced helplessly at his dumbfounded junior sister before turning his gaze to Yan Xiao, who was shameless and completely oblivious to politeness.
"Alright, I'll give you the necessary medicinal herbs in a bit, and Madam can have someone deliver them."
"Alright, alright, then thank you for your hard work, Young Master Chu."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Yanxiao did not linger and left contentedly with a bundle of bottles and jars.
After Yan Xiao left, Su Yuanyuan looked at the empty table, then at Chu Heng's inscrutable expression, and gave an awkward laugh, saying:
"Senior brother, Madam Shen is really unpretentious. Um, you don't need to do the medicine preparation yourself, just give me instructions."
Chu Heng smiled noncommittally, shook his head, and said nothing more.
