Chapter 40: Poisoning
When it was time to pay the bill, Meng Lang snorted coldly, "It was you who treated us in the first place. Even if we didn't come, wouldn't you still be paying for this meal? Are you still counting on him to treat us?"
This "he" naturally refers to Cheng Bing.
His family was poor and he couldn't afford it.
There was obvious sarcasm and disdain in Meng Lang's tone, but Duan Ning inexplicably did not react much and was not angry.
Seeing him like this, Meng Lang looked at her with some doubt and frowned, "Duan Xiaoning, do you really like him?"
If you like me, why aren't you angry now?
If he didn't like her, why did he say those words to Mi Bao just now because of Cheng Bing?
That wasn't something she could say at all.
She is strict with herself, but never meddles in other people's affairs.
Even if her mother Duan Yun wanted to get married, all she wanted was to be happy.
How could she, such a person as herself, tell Gu Qian and Mi Bao to get out of the Duan family?
Duan Ning's eyes also showed some confusion, she didn't understand either.
Mibao was holding a small piece of cake and eating it carefully when he suddenly smelled a foul smell.
She turned her head and saw that it was the waiter who cleaned up their table and brought out the bottle of water that Cheng Bing had sent.
"It stinks." Mibao said, covering his nose.
"Where does it stink?" Duan Ning asked.
Mibao pointed at the bottle of water and said, "This one stinks. Can't you smell it, sister?"
Duan Ning sniffed hard and shook his head.
Mi Bao looked at Meng Lang, who sneered and said sarcastically, "That was a gift from her boyfriend, how could it possibly stink? It must be the sweetest and most fragrant water in the world."
Duan Ning's face suddenly turned dark, and he glared at him fiercely, "You are the only one who has a mouth!"
The two of them were still arguing. Mibao thought for a moment and took the bottle away. There was still half a bottle of water left in it.
Meng Lang said with some disdain: "What do you need this for?"
Mibao said, "I want to take it back and have a look."
She didn't know why she took it, it was just her intuition.
The master told her that sometimes you have to trust your intuition.
The two of them didn't say anything more.
After returning home, Mi Bao jumped out of the car and waved to Meng Lang, "Goodbye, brother-in-law."
Duan Ning's eyebrows jumped, "When did he become your brother-in-law?"
Meng Lang coughed lightly and rolled his eyes at Duan Ning, "Do you think I want to marry you?"
Duan Ning glared at him and said, "It's better not to. If I marry you, I might as well be single for the rest of my life."
Meng Lang's face suddenly turned dark.
Is he that bad!
Mi Bao sighed and patted Meng Lang's leg, "Brother-in-law, you have to work harder."
Come on and get your sister back, otherwise, it will be troublesome if your sister is with that bad guy.
Before Meng Lang could say anything, Duan Ning pulled Mi Bao back.
She looked at Mibao and said, "Don't call him brother-in-law in the future. It's not good if others hear it."
Mibao blinked and nodded his head obediently, "Okay."
Why is this answer so forced?
Duan Ning looked at her in confusion, shook his head, and said nothing more.
Mibao didn't insist on sleeping with her tonight. She had something big to do tonight.
Mibao asked for a glass of milk, and just a few seconds after swallowing it, he fell asleep with his head tilted.
Fortunately, she was smart and had already climbed onto the bed, so she didn't fall and hurt herself.
Mibao shook his little head somewhat proudly, took out the water given by Cheng Bing from his bag and went to the underworld.
"Master!" Mibao found the Wheel King, climbed onto the chair with a grunt, and handed him the water. "Master, can you help me check if there is anything wrong with this water?"
The Chakravartin was handling official business. When he saw Mibao, he stopped writing, picked up the pen and looked at it, then frowned.
Then he took out a fire talisman and threw it over.
Logically speaking, water controls fire and should not burn at all, but the fire happened to burn and even wrapped around the water.
Soon the smell of burning filled the air.
Mibao covered his nose and took a few steps back. It was so smelly!
The Wheel-Turning King waved his hand and threw a cleansing talisman, and the air became a little better.
Mibao still leaned against the wall and refused to come over.
The King of the Wheel had no choice but to walk over and pick up the little guy, "Look."
What are you looking at?
Mibao looked down and was immediately shocked. It was a bug!
There was not a drop of water left in the place that had been burned by fire, and only a bug was left.
It was exactly the same as what she had seen in the restaurant before, and she thought she was seeing things.
"Master, what is this?" Mi Bao curiously stretched out his finger and poked the bug. It was black and ugly.
The Wheel-Turning King said, "Gu."
"Gu?" Mi Bao looked at him blankly.
The Wheel King threw a book to her. Mi Bao took it and looked at it. Her face fell again. She looked at him with resentment, then handed it back to him and instructed, "Read!"
Oh, forgot she can't read.
Mibao pulled her hair in frustration. What was going on? Everyone was bullying her because she couldn't read. Humph, she would start learning to read when she got back!
The Chakravartin rubbed her head soothingly and then began to explain to her.
"Gu originated from the witchcraft culture of the Shang Dynasty. Hundreds of insects were placed in a container and killed each other, leaving only the last one. Hence the name gu."
"Gu can save people, but it can also harm them. The one you brought is a Gu that's used to harm people. It's called the Tongxin Gu. Once you're infected with it, you'll fall uncontrollably in love with the person who cast it, and do whatever they say."
So that's how it is.
Mi Bao suddenly realized and remembered that she saw something moving in Duan Ning's arm.
Now that I think about it, it looks a lot like a bug.
Moreover, my sister is like this. The way she looks when she sees Cheng Bing is completely different from the other times. She looks like two completely different people.
They all match up!
She suddenly became nervous, "The bug has gotten into my sister's body! Master, what should I do?"
The Wheel King thought for a moment and said, "It's a good opportunity. I'll take this opportunity to tell you how to deal with the poisonous insects."
As he spoke, he opened the book and began to explain in detail. Mibao sat upright with a serious look on his face.
In just one night, Mi Baogang learned how to make poisonous insects.
As for how to decipher it, I haven’t learned it yet. I don’t even know how to write the word “gu” because I just heard it.
Early in the morning, when Duan Ning got up, he saw Mi Bao sticking her little butt out and searching around in the garden. When he got closer, he saw that she was holding a box filled with a lot of insects, which made his scalp tingle.
She couldn't help but take a step back, "Mibao, what are you doing?"
Mi Bao looked at her and said seriously, "Sister, I'm learning how to make poisonous insects."
"Don't worry, I'll learn how to solve it soon. Just wait for me, I'll save you."
Duan Ning: “???” Why don’t you wait until I die before learning how to remove the poison?
