Upon hearing this, Luo Xi paused for a moment, then slowly squatted down.
The assassin's still somewhat immature face instantly contorted into a twisted smile. He thought his wish was about to come true, and calmly closed his eyes, awaiting death.
He was an orphan who was taken in and raised by the people of the Red Mansion. His death was not a big deal, but he was a little unwilling to die in such a stifled way.
However, the next moment, a stream of sweet water was poured into his tightly closed lips.
The assassin paused for a moment, opened his eyes, and saw the beautiful woman brought by the White Protector feeding him water.
"Thank you, thank you," he stammered.
Loxi didn't say anything, but poured all the water in her hand into his mouth, then stood up and stared at the assassin's face.
Baihu and Xuanwu were confused: "Lady Luo, what's going on...?"
“Oh, I see his lips are dry, drinking some water might make him feel better,” Luo Xi said seriously.
White Tiger and Black Tortoise: "..."
Do they look like idiots?
However, neither of them asked any further questions. Lady Luo was inherently mysterious, and the things she did were even stranger, yet they always had miraculous effects; perhaps…
Thinking of this, the two of them stared intently at the assassin whose face changed like a chameleon.
Sure enough, after his face turned white, it didn't turn back to green. Instead, it began to resemble his normal skin tone, and the look of pain on his face gradually disappeared.
"I, I, I'm not in pain anymore, I'm healed?" The assassin clearly felt the excruciating pain in his body gradually disappear, replaced by a surge of strength.
If he weren't still tied up tightly, he would have wanted to jump up and run a couple of laps.
Baihu had an expression that said, "I knew it."
The other bound men in black stopped howling and stared at Luo Xi expectantly.
Loxi didn't disappoint them either, taking out a few bottles of water and handing them to the white tiger: "Feed them."
She was quite surprised to find that the spiritual spring water she used to soak the seeds could also detoxify the poison.
After a short while, the wailing inside the tent stopped. After being untied, the assassins knelt down in front of Luo Xi and said, "Thank you, Lady Luo, for saving our lives."
If in the past they helped Luo Xi by following her orders, now it's out of genuine respect and obedience.
Loxi chuckled and told them to stand up: "Now, it's time to meet that poison doctor."
"We'll go with you." The assassins followed Luo Xi angrily. This was the first time that their Red Mansion had been bullied like this.
Seeing the assassin, who had been writhing in pain, walk out like this, the lookout in Chuyun Valley was quite frightened. He said to the others with a solemn expression, "Keep an eye on things. I'll go report to the Valley Master."
The lookout, familiar with the place, quickly walked along a path to a house. There, a tall, thin man in plain clothes stood with his back to the door, bent over, seemingly busy with something.
When he heard familiar footsteps behind him, he asked without looking up, "That group of people are trying to break into the valley again. Ha, they really won't give up."
As he spoke, he glanced to the side and saw a person bound hand and foot. To his astonishment, it was Jixian, who had been missing for several days.
His face was swollen like a pig's head, his eyes were bloodshot, the veins on his temples were bulging, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat, as if he was being subjected to inhuman torture.
"Tsk tsk, I say, Jiuxian, aren't you guys in the Red Chamber all heartless? Why are you rushing to save you this time? How strange!" Poison Doctor Nan Wushang said sarcastically as he made notes on a piece of paper.
Jiuxian gritted her teeth, closed her bloodshot eyes, and ignored him.
"Oh, ignoring me." Nan Wushang raised an eyebrow, picked up a long silver needle, and accurately stabbed it into Jiuxian's abdomen. Jiuxian couldn't help but let out a muffled groan in pain before he nodded in satisfaction.
The lookout watched in terror, and after a long pause, he stammered, "Valley Master, this time the White Tiger from the Red Mansion brought back a powerful young lady who saved all the assassins you drugged."
Nan Wushang's relaxed expression froze instantly. He turned his head and stared intently at the lookout: "Are you telling the truth?"
How is this possible? No one can cure his poison!
The lookout was terrified by his gaze: "It's true, it's true, Valley Master, it's a young woman in her early twenties dressed in red. She went into the tent for a short while, and all the poisoned assassins were completely healed."
"Could it be that the White Tiger brought the antidote?" Nan Wushang remembered that he had just mentioned that the White Tiger had come along as well.
"This..." The lookout was at a loss for words. They were all outside and hadn't seen what happened inside the tent.
Nan Wushang: "..."
You can't even get a straight answer; you're utterly useless.
At this moment, Jiu Xian, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "You're dead!"
The only one with this ability who would come to save me is definitely Rosie.
Nan Wushang suddenly turned to Jiuxian: "Who is she?"
Jiuxian glanced at him coldly and then closed his eyes again. However, if you looked closely, you would find that his brows, which had been furrowed in pain, had relaxed considerably.
Nan Wushang: "..."
"Come on, lead the way. I want to see what kind of woman could earn the trust of the esteemed leader of the world's number one assassin organization."
Perfect timing, he's just one short of a test subject.
When Nan Wushang arrived at the valley entrance, Luo Xi was just about to go in, and the two bumped into each other.
He looked Rosie up and down and said with disdain, "Too thin."
It's not suitable for them to participate in drug trials; they might not even survive the first round, wasting their medication.
Rose was confused. It wasn't like he was choosing a partner; what did weight have to do with him?
"Hand over Jiuxian and Qinglong," she said directly.
Nan Wushang didn't answer her. Instead, he pointed to the Red Mansion assassins behind her and asked, "How did you cure their poison?"
Loxi gestured with his chin: "If you want to know, hand over the person first."
"That's impossible." Nan Wushang said without even thinking. But what difference did it make if he didn't say anything? He would find out when he caught these people.
It's really infuriating that someone in the world could cure his poison, and with so many different kinds of poison at that.
He moved his right hand slightly, and the colorless and odorless poison slowly drifted out.
"So you're going to use poison right away?" Luo Xi clicked her tongue twice.
"Lady Luo, quickly cover your mouth and nose with this." The experienced Xuanwu handed Luo Xi a damp handkerchief.
Nan Wushang glanced at them disdainfully. How could his poison possibly be blocked with a handkerchief?
However, Luo Xi didn't even take the handkerchief. Instead, she crossed her arms and casually looked at Nan Wushang.
Nan Wushang: "..."
What an arrogant woman!
Now that he had been discovered, he stopped trying to release them secretly and simply threw them all out towards Luo Xi.
The assassins from the Red Mansion couldn't help but gasp in shock, their faces filled with terror, their bodies trembling instinctively. Most importantly, they were truly terrified of the pain.
The others from Chuyun Valley, however, all watched with amusement.
