Next, Di Feisheng led them to the Medicine Demon's residence to detoxify them. However, it must be said that the Medicine Demon's place was extremely remote, and he even lived in the mountains.
The Lotus Pavilion was too large to fit inside the mountain, so the three of them had to descend and walk, with the fox spirit following behind. The closer they got to the Medicine Demon's dwelling, the quieter the fox spirit became, as it knew perfectly well that the person they were going to was extremely poisonous.
If you're not careful, it could cost the dog its life.
"Your Excellency," the Medicine Demon greeted Di Feisheng with utmost respect. But upon noticing the two people following behind Di Feisheng, especially that face that was all too familiar, his heart leaped into his throat.
It felt like he was about to collapse at any moment. He didn't want to experience that feeling of being completely unable to move, of his body and brain being disconnected, again; that feeling was simply unbearable.
Seeing that he was staring intently at the person behind him, Di Feisheng understood, recalling what had happened in Yucheng. He cut through his fear directly, saying, "This time, they are friends, not enemies."
"How are the preparations going?" Di Feisheng was extremely anxious. As long as the poison from the green tea was cured and Li Xiangyi slowly recovered, he could have another great battle sooner.
Ten years ago, it was all Jiao Liqiao's doing; that battle doesn't count. He wants to defeat Li Xiangyi fair and square, not through underhanded means.
The Medicine Demon immediately bowed slightly and replied, "Everything is ready."
"Let's begin over there." When the Medicine Demon came last time, he had already explained the entire method to cure the poison of the Jade Tea in detail. Di Feisheng immediately grabbed Li Lianhua and pulled her into the house.
Caught off guard and not reacting in time, Li Lianhua was pulled and stumbled.
Seeing this, Li Lianxin lifted her foot to follow, but the Medicine Demon immediately stepped forward to stop her and stammered, "Aunt, aunt, young lady. The poison of the Jade Tea requires the ingestion of the Forget-River Flower and the assistance of someone with strong internal energy to circulate it."
And we need a quiet place, please, young lady, wait outside.
The drug demon was already a little scared when he met her innocent eyes, and his legs were trembling slightly as he spoke.
Li Lianxin stared at him for a while, then said, "Alright," before leading the fox spirit to a good place to stay. The Medicine Demon breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, turned and went to the room to retrieve the prepared medicine, then instructed them on how to make it.
Li Lianxin fumbled around the room for a long time but couldn't find anything useful. Frustrated, she finally found a suitable leather rocking chair at the mall. She lay down in it and felt incredibly comfortable. With the gentle swaying of the rocking chair...
The fox spirit also lay down near Li Lianxin.
"You vixen, do you think we'll starve to death if their detoxification takes three to five days? I'm sure I won't, but... you might not be so sure."
Li Lianxin turned her head and saw the fox spirit climbing down. She wanted to tease the fox spirit, so she pretended to talk casually while secretly watching the fox spirit's movements.
"Huh~?"
The fox spirit, who had been lying peacefully in place, was about to reflect on its days of running around when it suddenly heard the real fox spirit say this, leaving it utterly dumbfounded.
The dog seemed frozen, its head brimming with confusion. Meanwhile, Li Lianxin was laughing uncontrollably.
"Haha! Hahaha! That's hilarious!" Li Lianxin laughed so hard she straightened her head, but then immediately became serious. "To be honest, I'm really not sure what will happen."
She searched the entire room, finding nothing but poisonous insects and herbs. After rummaging around for ages, she couldn't find a single grain of rice. Based on this, she could say with absolute certainty that the Medicine Demon either couldn't cook or simply didn't cook at all.
Someone should be bringing the food.
With this mindset, the fox and the dog waited silently. Inside the room, the detoxification ritual was still in full swing. Li Lianhua had recently consumed both Yin and Yang herbs simultaneously, and then, through the sound of flute, her internal energy was gradually channeled into her meridians.
Li Lianxin was somewhat worried, but not too much. Li Lianhua was the chosen one, the protagonist of this world. Besides, the poison from the green tea hadn't yet seeped into her bones, so as long as a method to detoxify her was found, success was guaranteed.
It wasn't until noon the next day that the tightly closed door opened again, and Li Lianhua walked out, her face glowing with health, no longer looking as sickly as before.
"Lianxin, my poison is finally cured!" Li Lianhua rushed over and hugged Li Lianxin the moment he opened the door, overjoyed. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
If the Forgotten River Flower could only be found at the start of the story as Lianxin described, they wouldn't have had to wait so long. They should prepare their things and return to Cloud Hidden Mountain.
“Li Xiangyi, that great battle ten years ago doesn’t count, let’s do it again!” Di Feisheng stepped forward and said righteously, without rushing in to fight as usual.
Li Lianhua was speechless. She released her grip on Lianxin and instead pulled her along, saying, "Afei, you can't fight me in this state. Besides, even though I've been cured of the poison, I haven't fully recovered yet."
I have more important things to do next. You go find somewhere cool and stay there.
