What horrified him even more was...
One day, he was actually outmaneuvered by these mortals whom they regarded as ants.
Does this mean that the fellow disciples were wrong?
Kuda was not worried about whether he was right or wrong.
His only worry was that he and his fellow disciples would pay a heavy price because of their mistaken ideas.
"Was...we wrong? Were we wrong?"
Kuta lay on the ground, staring blankly at the sky.
At this moment, he was completely naked.
The sight of his body covered in red marks and bloodstains was truly horrifying.
Those marks were caused by scratching because of the itch.
Kuta even suspected that Hua Rong had already shown mercy.
Otherwise, he might have died from this medicine.
How ironic!
He nearly lost his life at the hands of those he once considered insignificant.
After the itching subsided briefly again, Kuta asked the young monk who was taking care of him to bring in a bucket of hot water.
Avoiding the wound, after a quick wipe, I went to Hua Rong's room.
Hua Rong was not surprised to see Ku Tuo.
She smiled at Kuta, and her beautiful face instantly became dazzling.
Before, when I saw her face, I didn't have much of a feeling about her.
Looking at it now, I instinctively avoid looking at it.
He looked at the green bamboo in the courtyard and said calmly, "Give me the antidote."
“Master Kudo, your tone isn’t very pleasant. If you want my antidote, you’ll have to give something in return.”
Hua Rong said this in a smug tone, and then took another step closer to Kuta.
Stand a step away from him and bring your face close to his.
Her skin was like jade, glowing faintly in the moonlight.
Reflecting the moonlight, it resembles a beautiful jade that people cherish.
Kuta felt his breathing gradually become more rapid.
He wanted to tell himself that the woman in front of him was a vicious snake, scheming against him at all times.
If you are deceived by her appearance, you will only suffer!
However... he simply couldn't control his eyes.
When you don't care about something.
It may be the most precious thing in the world, but you wouldn't even glance at it twice.
But when you care about something.
Even if it's just a stubborn rock, you'll feel that it's the most precious stubborn rock in the world.
Such is the baseness, or rather, the variability of human nature.
That's incredibly shameless.
Hua Rong seemed completely unaware of what Ku Tuo was thinking.
She continued, "Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to recoup my investment in making medicine. You are a compassionate master, surely you wouldn't want me to suffer such a loss?"
Kudatta: "..."
He felt a pain in his chest!
Whether he was compassionate or not is another matter, but Hua Rong was definitely vicious.
Although he harbored murderous intent towards her, before he could act on it, she preemptively struck him down.
It's true that women and petty people are the hardest to deal with!
Kuta said calmly, "Whatever you want, I can give you."
Upon hearing this, Hua Rong's expression softened slightly.
She straightened up and said, "Hua Rong doesn't ask for much. After all, I will get what I want myself."
"Hua Rong only hopes that the master can protect me while I am in the Song Kingdom. No matter what my status is then, even if I am the master's enemy, you cannot lay a hand on me!"
"Of course, it would be even better if you could protect me at all times. Does Master think Hua Rong's suggestion is excessive?"
Upon hearing this, Kudo's brow twitched a few times.
His gaze lingered on Hua Rong's face for a long while before he turned his head away.
"You believe me? Tell me, what backup plan do you have?"
Hua Rong smiled and said, "Master, you are indeed exceptionally intelligent. Of course... I will have a backup plan."
“I can give you the antidote, Master, but it will only last for a period of time. If you do not take the antidote within a certain time, the excruciating itching will return.”
"Of course, I can assure you that the effects of this medicine will only last for a year! Master, rest assured, I will only stay in the Song Kingdom for a year."
"A year later, if the master wants to fight or kill, then so be it."
Hua Rong shook his hand, appearing completely powerless to resist.
Kudo smiled bitterly and said, "Will you still give me this chance then?"
According to his divination, Hua Rong is destined to soar like a dragon through the nine heavens.
Those who possess such a destiny are inherently blessed with unparalleled luck.
So many things can change in just one year.
Will he be able to successfully make a move on her by then?
Or... would he be willing?
When this idea came to mind, Kudo seemed to be taken aback.
He held out his hand: "Deal."
Hua Rong smiled and handed him a bottle of pills.
Kudo opened the bottle on the spot and found that there was only one pill inside the rather large bottle.
He understood the meaning behind Hua Rong's words.
This was clearly an attempt to keep him hanging, and without hesitation, she ate it.
"Master, aren't you afraid I'll poison you?"
Kuta said, “You probably know my abilities. Even if I die because of this medicine, I can still drag you down to hell before I die. You probably don’t want to die, do you?”
People who want to die don't have that many wicked thoughts!
Hua Rong touched his nose. "In this world, how many people who are alive want to die? Life is so precious that even an ant will try to survive."
Ants...
Upon hearing Hua Rong mention those two words, Ku Tuo suddenly felt a little guilty.
After taking the antidote, he waited for quite a while.
I noticed that the itching sensation on my body did not return as it had before.
