Su Ruojin felt her heart pounding and her mouth dry. "Um, maybe I should just apply it myself."
"Don't move around, it'll be over soon." Xiao Yanchu's hands were exceptionally gentle, as if afraid of hurting her.
After applying the ointment, Su Ruojin felt that her face was even redder than before.
Fortunately, the ointment can cover it up; in this light, the brown ointment doesn't look so bad.
To ease the awkwardness, she quickly took out another, smaller ice-condensing jade box and used her black iron sword to pry the volcanic rock toad inside.
This thing's skin is also poisonous; she dared not touch it directly with her hands.
"Alright, now all we need is the Crane Rock Soil. We should be able to get the Crane Rock Soil later." Su Ruojin glanced at Mao Mao, who was still fast asleep.
Xiao Yanchu was a little surprised: "Ah Jin, do you know what Crane Rock Soil is? Is it also in Shenyu Mountain?"
Su Ruojin nodded: "Yes, we're at Shenyu Mountain now, but we don't know where we'll be in the future."
"What exactly is this Crane Rock Soil?" Xiao Yanchu's curiosity was piqued.
Su Ruojin kept everyone in suspense: "You'll find out later."
Xiao Yanchu was at a loss with Su Ruojin: "Now that we have Soul-Stealing Grass, Volcanic Rock Toad, and Crane Rock Soil, we are only missing the leaves of the Thousand-Year Blood-Sealing Throat Tree and the flowers of the Dream Fruit. I have already sent people to look for them, and these two things should be relatively easier to find."
Su Ruojin tidied up the things in her backpack.
Yes, it's packed full; I've certainly made a good haul.
If she hadn't been in such a hurry to rescue Mu Jingshan, there would have been many rare medicinal herbs along the way into the mountains, which she hadn't picked.
However, with Master Xuanyuan's "Annotations on Shenyu Herbal Medicines", it's not too late to get it whenever needed.
She casually said, "No need to look anymore, I have the other two. Once we get back to the capital, I can start treating your poisoning."
Xiao Yanchu paused, somewhat incredulous.
Their own people had been sent out for so long and still couldn't find it, yet Su Ruojin said she had it, her tone relaxed and casual, as if it were nothing difficult to find.
Sensing Xiao Yanchu's surprise, Su Ruojin realized she had let something slip and quickly explained, "I came across it by chance when I was traveling with my master years ago, and I bought it as a collectible. I never thought I would use it now."
Hearing this explanation, Xiao Yanchu felt it made perfect sense and didn't think about it any further.
"Ah Jin, you are truly a lucky star sent by heaven to my side. Once we get out, I will accompany you to Yunqi to bring Old Madam Lin back."
Su Ruojin waved her hand: "No rush. Grandmother hasn't been back to Yunqi for so many years. Let her stay a little longer."
"How can I propose marriage if the old lady doesn't return?" Xiao Yanchu asked anxiously.
Offering a betrothal gift? What kind of betrothal gift?
Su Ruojin looked at Xiao Yanchu with some confusion.
Xiao Yanchu said earnestly, "You promised me that you would marry me and become my princess after we get out. Ah Jin, you won't go back on your word, will you?"
Su Ruojin: ......
That was something I said in a moment of panic.
Even if she now realizes that she has feelings for Xiao Yanchu, it seems a bit too early to talk about marriage.
She coughed lightly, making a fist: "Cough cough, that was just a temporary measure, it doesn't count, it doesn't count, you don't need to take it to heart."
Xiao Yanchu's eyes darkened, and he lowered his head, his voice filled with resentment: "Ah Jin, so you didn't keep your word. You saw me naked, but you're unwilling to take responsibility."
Su Ruojin: ......
Hey, aren't you the Regent of the Great Chu?
What's going on with this pitiful, abandoned puppy look?
Su Ruojin thought she was hallucinating.
Besides turning people to stone, can the venom of the human-faced snake also change a person's personality?
