Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Lick it.
It is impossible to say that I was not moved at all, but I just realized that the person who said this had told a lot of lies before, and the little bit of emotion just came up and then disappeared.
Bai Yi pondered for a moment, then spoke softly, "I heard that the young master wasn't feeling well recently, but his pulse is stable now, and doesn't seem to be getting any worse."
According to records, Impermanence is a colorless, tasteless, and untreatable poison. Unlike other poisons that kill instantly, it can control the poisoned person within a certain period of time.
As for how long it will take to die, it is difficult to say because there are not enough examples to quantify it.
After Feng Han was told that he had been poisoned, he could clearly feel that the other party was not lying and that his physical condition was indeed getting worse.
The plan of the person who poisoned Feng Han was to tell him that although he was in the calamity of impermanence, the Heart Refining Bug was in his hands. This was the only antidote in the world that could cure the calamity of impermanence. He hoped that Feng Han could understand the weight of this sentence.
The other party hopes that Feng Han will take the initiative to play the role of a person who has done all kinds of evil and is punished by God, so that he can be conquered by a righteous man like him. Feng Han will leave the stage sadly, and he can legitimately inherit the entire Beiqu Pavilion after his sister's son.
But in fact, although Feng Han looked down on his second uncle, he did not completely ignore him.
After investigating the hidden clues, they came back and told Feng Han that there was no solution to the Impermanence Tribulation and the Heart Refining Bug was not in their hands at all.
Feng Han had no need to deal with the reckless man, so he started to look for the antidote on his own initiative.
The feelings of the parties involved are real-time and the most authentic.
Before this, Feng Han felt worse day by day, his skills had regressed a lot, and his attacks often missed their target.
But he wasn't sure if it was an illusion. After he gradually understood and discovered his secret thoughts, he seemed to feel much better as long as he stayed by Mu Xi's side.
Feng Han looked at Mu Xi, who was talking to Bai Yi without reservation about the experiment they had just done.
After hearing this, Bai Yi was overjoyed, "That's it!"
She clapped her hands subconsciously. Mu Xi didn't expect her to be so excited. She seemed startled and stepped back.
Bai Yi continued excitedly, "Madam Mu's blood is still active after leaving her body. Considering what you just did, Madam Mu's blood can also heal the young master."
As she spoke, she took out the small box that Mu Xi had seen before. After opening it, Mu Xi leaned over to take a look curiously, and her scalp went numb for an instant.
Mu Xi suddenly recalled the scene of dripping blood, and felt very disgusted. She thought that she didn't get contaminated by the stuff in it.
It’s killing me, it’s actually a bug.
There is now an omnipotent one in her heart, and there are so many small boxes, so densely packed... She is about to suffer from claustrophobia.
Mu Xi turned her face away and stopped looking.
Bai Yi, however, introduced it very enthusiastically.
She said that the blood left behind at that time has not yet completely coagulated. After leaving Mu Xi's body, it obviously became semi-dry not long after, but the semi-dry state has remained until now.
Those blood-sucking insects eat any kind of blood, and that's how they survive. But until now, they still dare not touch Mu Xi's blood, proving that its efficacy is still there.
Mu Xi understood. "According to Doctor Bai, when these bugs eat my blood, will the efficacy disappear?"
"That's what I think for now, but it still needs to be verified."
Bai Yi seems to be full of positive energy. Even though her master doesn't trust her and locks her up here, she still seems to have no complaints towards Feng Han and Mu Xi.
Mu Xi liked her very much. Considering her age, she was considered an elder and was more tolerant than others.
Bai Yi seemed to have a good impression of Mu Xi. He knew clearly what Feng Han had done, but he didn't expect that she would still be willing to help save people. His favorability towards her increased rapidly.
But although Mu Xi was willing to help, her eyes and expression looked a little cold, and Feng Han's feelings seemed even more complicated.
Now that there was a way to have the best of both worlds, Bai Yi felt much more optimistic. He looked at Feng Han and said, "Young Master, don't be discouraged. Now that Madam Mu is willing to help, at least your life won't be in danger for the time being."
Mu Xi frowned, "It's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause."
Feng Han and Bai Yi both looked at her.
The former's expression suddenly turned bad, and he could tell that Mu Xi didn't want to get entangled with him any further.
The latter, after a brief moment of daze, heard Mu Xi ask himself: "How long will it take Doctor Bai to determine, and how much of my blood is needed to completely detoxify him?"
Bai Yi looked at Feng Han, who was biting his bloodless lips and said nothing.
She said, "I'm sorry, I can't be sure."
Seeing Mu Xi's disappointment, Bai Yi continued, "Moreover, if we continue bleeding, it will have a great impact on my wife. Now that we have a temporary solution, let's take it step by step."
"What exactly is the Heart Refining Bug? Is it really a bug?" Mu Xi asked Bai Yi.
Bai Yi nodded, "It's rumored to be true."
Mu Xi took a deep breath, feeling increasingly uncomfortable with this fact. Some things couldn't be thought about too closely.
"How do you know it's in my heart?"
Bai Yi looked at Feng Han again, but Feng Han didn't say anything, as if he would let her give any answer Mu Xi wanted.
"The former Pavilion Master, by chance, came across a note left behind by the Master of Feiming Valley... your mother, Madam Mu. It contained some information about the Heart Refining Worm. I was fortunate enough to read it, and based on that information and my own speculation, I came to this conclusion. However, since there's no way to verify it, I can't be completely certain. I can only say that it's highly likely to be the case."
Mu Xi thought that the so-called "coincidence" probably referred to the story that after the people of Feiming Valley were surrounded and killed by Xia Qingyu and his men, Feng Xin killed Xia Qingyu and got the things.
Feng Han's expression was a little unnatural, and Mu Xi didn't even look at him.
"Is there any record in that notebook? What can be used to draw it out?"
"No."
Bai Yi said that the Heart Refining Bug has been passed down from generation to generation and is only loyal to the Mu family. In fact, it is already spiritual and cannot be classified as an ordinary thing in this world.
Mu Xi curled her lips. "But you told them that if they took advantage of my guard and cut out my heart and let Feng Han eat it, the worm would naturally save his life. How can that be considered recognition of mastership?"
Bai Yi was struck by this and realized that Mu Xi was still angry tonight, not as calm as she seemed on the surface.
She was right about this matter, but she was Feng Han's person, so naturally she had to do everything possible to save him.
Everyone understands this principle, but it is still inevitably awkward when it is said in person.
Bai Yi's face was a little embarrassed. She explained, "At the time, I only wanted to take the simplest and safest path. This is the most foolproof method. No matter how human-like the Heart Refining Bug is, it's just a bug after all. My wife's blood can survive for this long outside the body, and her heart will survive even longer. So I thought, if everything goes well, by the time this is over, it won't even know that it has changed hosts..."
“…”
The so-called shelf life or shelf life?
Mu Xi's mood was very complicated.
She has always been a person who rarely watches horror movies, so the input of this content is still too advanced and magical for her.
But she is another party involved. At this moment, there is a worm that has built a nest in her heart and is working hard to prolong her life.
A realistic and heavy-handed horror film.
Mu Xi closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she was talking to the other two people, or as if she was comforting herself——
"Take your time."
Bai Yi regained his freedom. After the three of them went out together, Mu Xi left first. Feng Han just raised his foot to go with her when he was stopped by Bai Yi.
Mu Xi didn't look back, leaving Feng Han and Bai Yi to talk alone.
She thought that Fenghan must need to explain the current situation to Bai Yi.
After experiencing such a night, Mu Xi was tired.
I went back to my room and lay down. Just as I closed my eyes, someone pushed the door open and came in.
Mu Xi said indifferently, "Master Feng won't die after tonight, right? Can't you let me get some good sleep first?"
"Go to sleep, my lady. I'm worried that someone might harm you, so I feel more at ease staying by your side."
Mu Xi turned and looked at him.
Feng Han said as if it was a matter of course: "My lady is kind-hearted and doesn't care about Mingyu's mistakes. I agree with your decision and plan to let him go this time, but I can't guarantee that he will definitely appreciate your kindness, so..."
Mu Xi sneered, "You're saying this as if I'm the one who caused the trouble."
She sat up and said bluntly, "I let him go. If he still wants to kill me, then I deserve it, right?"
"Of course not. Madam, you have good intentions, but you must be careful. I agree with your approach, and I'm also worried that something might happen to you. There's no conflict here. I will protect you."
Mu Xi finally couldn't hold back her eye rolling.
She originally thought that after knowing so many inside stories tonight, her relationship with Fenghan would be completely reshuffled, and at least they would no longer sleep in the same room.
Unexpectedly, Feng Han didn't seem to mind what he had done in the past at all. He looked at him eagerly and even took it for granted.
The excuse is to protect her.
The reason for protection is that she doesn't want to make an example of someone.
Should Mingyu be blamed for this situation?
Aren’t you, Fenghan, the starting point of all this?
Yes, he had an unfortunate childhood, he was pitiful, he was poisoned, he was a victim, but Mu Xi was not even the original owner.
She wasn't so angry that she was about to vomit blood, but she felt a little suffocated in her heart.
After turning over several times, Feng Han asked quietly, "Madam, are you unable to sleep?"
"Change the room, maybe I can fall asleep soon." Mu Xi said rudely with her eyes closed.
Feng Han was silent for a moment, then asked through the screen, "Madam, why are you still willing to save me after you know that I lied to you and that my motives for approaching you are not pure?"
He really doesn't understand.
Mu Xi is now very sure that he will not kill her, so she can just leave, regardless of his life, leave Bitian Villa, return to Luan County, and resume her previous simple and ordinary life.
She didn't know Ji Lian's existence.
Mu Xi sighed softly, "What do you want to know? No need to beat around the bush, just tell me directly."
Feng Han bit his lip and his heart ached again, but he knew that this situation was his own fault and he had no way to complain.
"No..." he said, "I just want to know what my wife thinks."
Mu Xi took a while to give him an answer.
"I've thought about it. Even if you didn't lie and really saved my life, and I owe you a life-saving favor, if I knew you needed me to repay you by sacrificing my heart, even if I knew you would die if I didn't, I still wouldn't do it."
Feng Han hummed, and it was hard to tell whether he sounded lonely or not, but Mu Xi guessed that he must be.
She continued, "If I can only live one between myself and others, I will always choose myself. At least in this world, that's the way it is."
Fenghan said "hmm" again, showing his support.
Mu Xi said, "So I think you wanted to survive, but because of the nature of that insect, it was okay for you to deceive me with sweet words. It was even okay for you to want to kill me in the beginning. If it were me, I would do the same."
And she will definitely not experience Fenghan's betrayal in the end. She probably doesn't want to be blamed, so the best case scenario is that when Mingyu takes action, she pretends to be ignorant and finally accepts the spoils with tears.
"Because I understand. Plus, since I've confirmed there's a gentle way to save your life, it would be a waste not to save you."
What Mu Xi didn't say was that she was also very sure that if the method she imagined to be useful actually turned out to be useless, then she would immediately change her attitude and try every means to make Feng Han be more soft-hearted towards her than he was now and let her go.
She must run faster than a rabbit.
But the more troublesome thing about that situation is that Feng Han might really be willing to let her go, but others might not.
So from a certain perspective, bloodletting is useful and is actually a good thing for both of them.
After listening to this, Feng Han was silent for a while.
Suddenly, he said, "Bai Yi just told me a guess. If my wife can't sleep, we can try it."
Mu Xi opened her eyes and said nothing.
Feng Han's tone was cautious. Mu Xi thought that he had been very good at pretending since the first day he appeared in front of her again.
Compared to then, his acting skills and ability to evoke emotions have indeed improved by leaps and bounds, as if he had taken the time to take a crash course while playing nice with her.
Feng Han said, "My wife is right. This method is only a temporary solution. Bai Yi is also right. Excessive bloodletting would be harmful to my wife. So, she told me that maybe..." He was silent for a moment before continuing, his voice trailing off, "... maybe more than just blood can be useful."
Mu Xi frowned and finally spoke in the darkness: "What do you mean?"
She had been replaying horror movie plots all night, and now her mind was full of horror movie-related plots, and she subconsciously thought of -
"She wasn't suggesting you cut off a piece of my flesh and try it?"
"Of course not."
Feng Han stood up, and after a brief rustling sound, the room became bright again.
Mu Xi closed her eyes and sighed helplessly.
Never mind, I really can’t sleep anyway.
Mu Xi also turned over and sat up, just in time to see Feng Han cutting his finger with a dagger.
"What are you doing?"
Feng Han looked at her upon hearing the voice, his expression becoming cautious as he moved closer and sat down next to Mu Xi.
Mu Xi could feel the warm body beside her through her clothes.
If she abandoned him, this warm body would soon become cold, she thought.
Feng Han stretched out his bleeding finger towards her, getting closer and closer to Mu Xi's lips. Mu Xi leaned back reflexively, trying to avoid it.
That whole night, she thought she was almost immune to the red blood.
But in fact, seeing it again with my own eyes, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
"What are you doing?" Mu Xi asked with disgust.
I don’t know what Fenghan is crazy about.
"Lick it, lady."
Mu Xi: “…”
She thought she had misheard and her eyes widened.
Is it because I haven’t slept for too long that I started dreaming?
What? Is it not just a horror movie, but an erotic horror movie?
"What are you talking about..."
Combined with the ambiguous lighting and the overly close distance between the two people, Mu Xi didn't quite believe that she had suddenly crossed the plot.
"Bai Yi said that maybe your saliva can be useful to me too."
Mu Xi felt that the ambiguous atmosphere suddenly dissipated a lot. She wrote down the words first, thought about it again, and thought that maybe Bai Yi was right.
She looked at Feng Han's bleeding finger, blinked her long eyelashes, made up her mind, and kissed his wound.
After confirming that this was medical assistance, Mu Xi felt calm, but Feng Han was obviously very excited.
He trembled uncontrollably, wanting to hide but unable to.
Mu Xi blinked and looked at him in confusion. Feng Han's face was already red. He hoped that Mu Xi would not see too clearly. He began to regret why he turned on the light just now.
Mu Xi's soft tongue tip gently touched the part where his finger was scratched. It felt a little stinging, but more of a warm and moist wrapping. Feng Han's whole heart was trembling.
Until the warmth completely left him, the redness on Fenghan's face faded a lot, but his neck was still red. He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Mu Xi held his hand and looked at the experimental results...
Good, seems to be useful.
First the bleeding stopped, and then as I kept observing I could see that the wound was healing little by little.
Later, Mu Xi lent him some of what he could, and compared to bleeding, it was not painful at all.
This did help Fenghan's finger wound heal...faster.
Mu Xi thought silently, since saliva is also useful, then wouldn’t she be like a walking human-shaped ginseng?
Feng Han's previous worries were right. Mu Xi thought that if more people in the martial arts world knew of her existence and her effects, they might capture her and do something to her.
No... he should just kill her and take out her heart.
Directly take the Heart Refining Bug for yourself.
She wouldn't be like Feng Han, who would try every possible way to save herself without risking her life.
Thinking of this, Feng Han seemed to become much more pleasing to the eye.
It turns out that saliva works more slowly than blood.
Mu Xi sighed and told Feng Han that it seemed that bloodletting was still necessary.
"Bai Yi thought of it."
Feng Han's long eyelashes trembled, and he kept his head down, as if he didn't dare to look at Mu Xi.
His voice was as soft as a mosquito. "Bai Yi said that if saliva is also effective, then she thinks another method would be simpler and more effective than bloodletting."
"What method?"
Mu Xi was genuinely curious. Simpler and more effective than bloodletting? And without having to gouge out the heart? There actually was such a method?
"Wives and husbands... having sex."
After Feng Han said these four words, he looked at Mu Xi shyly, and his face, from behind his ears to his neck, was all dyed red.
Mu Xi: “…”
Feng Han said, "Bai Yi said that what happens between a husband and wife is that you are in me and I am in you... Madam may not know that there are some unorthodox martial arts in the martial arts world that are practiced by a woman and a man in this way. What's more, some of them use yang to replenish yin, which is a bad practice, but it is indeed effective in improving martial arts. So she thought that if it's not just Madam's blood that is useful, then if we commit the act of wife and husband, maybe we can break this impermanence."
Mu Xi was stunned when she heard this.
But when I think about the novels and movies I’ve watched in the past, I have to say... my thinking is a little shaken.
At first glance, what Bai Yi said sounded like fabricated lies, just like a lie, and his ultimate goal was to enjoy himself.
But Fenghan is a man, and chastity and reputation are very important to him... Of course, he doesn't seem to care much about them, but not caring is one thing, but in the context of the world he lives in, this thing is very important.
Mu Xi thought, is it necessary?
There's no need to lie about this sort of thing.
Therefore, Bai Yi was really considering this kind of thing, perhaps he could successfully detoxify himself.
"Do you know...what message you are conveying to me?"
"certainly."
Feng Han nodded firmly.
After hearing Bai Yi's thoughts, Mu Xi's expression was exactly the same as it is now.
It was only after much deliberation that he mustered up the courage to confess to Mu Xi.
Although he said such shameless words, deep down he still hoped that Mu Xi would not think that he was a casual man.
"You...are willing?"
“…”
Fenghan's face became hotter and hotter.
He wasn't sure if Mu Xi's suspicious tone meant she looked down on him. It seemed like he was being too hasty and had the opposite effect.
Does Mu Xi still look down on him?
Fenghan bit his lip and said nothing.
Mu Xi thought that he really didn't want to do it, but he had no choice in order to survive.
In fact, when Feng Han lied to Mu Xi and said that he came to repay her and pledged his love to her, he had prepared for the worst.
Committing himself to her in the true sense was his worst plan.
To survive, chastity means nothing.
Later on, he didn't care anymore. Now, rather than being forced into a situation, he even began to look forward to their further development.
When she completely belongs to Mu Xi, will she still be so cruel as to think about leaving him all day long?
Fenghan really wanted to know this.
"Of course I'm willing." Feng Han whispered, "If Bai Yi is right, and this is useful...my wife won't have to be injured all the time, and I can survive. Wouldn't that make both of us happy?"
Mu Xi was silent for a moment, then said, "You know that even if this can save your life, I won't marry you after this incident, right?"
The blush on Fenghan's face, neck and ears had completely faded, leaving her pretty face as white as paper.
"I know."
How would he know?
Feng Han once secretly fantasized that maybe after he belonged to Mu Xi, she would be reluctant to leave him and might even stay.
