"Since you can see the poison on my body, can you tell how many kinds of poison I have been poisoned with?"
"Why should I tell you?" Ji Jiuying winked at him, the lively light in her eyes falling into Gong Mingyue's eyes.
Gong Mingyue found Ji Jiuying's serious yet clever expression quite amusing.
"I can help you break the seal on your body." A half-smile appeared in Gong Mingyue's deep eyes.
Ji Jiuying was stunned. "You're saying I have a seal inside my body? Does that mean I can't test for spiritual roots because of the seal on my body?"
"Yes, you do have a seal on you, and the main reason you can't cultivate is probably related to this seal," Gong Mingyue added.
Gong Mingyue didn't tell her about the fact that the seal didn't belong to this continent, since knowing too much would be bad for her right now.
"However, this seal is difficult, if not impossible, for others, but for me..." Gong Mingyue looked at her with a lazy gaze, as if to say, "Beg me!"
Ji Jiuying was filled with doubt. Who would place such a seal on her? Was it to prevent her from cultivating, or for some other reason? Wait a minute. Her mother died after giving birth to her, and so many years had passed; investigating this wouldn't be a simple matter.
Ji Jiuying fell into deep thought. In any case, she was a good-for-nothing whom her father didn't care for and whom everyone despised. Today, she had even angered Ji Fengyan. Even if she defeated Ji Fengyan once with medicine, what about the second or third time? She wouldn't always be so lucky. Besides, there was Aunt Zhou and Ji Rufeng.
It seems that the only way to survive in this strange world is to cling to the powerful figure in front of me and ask him to help me break the seal.
"Hehe~ Handsome, how about we make a deal? I'll help you get rid of the poison, and you help me break the seal." Ji Jiuying had a mischievous and playful look on her face.
Gong Mingyue's thin lips curled slightly upwards: "That's possible, but I feel like I'd be at a disadvantage. How about you, little girl, offer yourself to me and become my wife?"
"I'm not interested. Whoever wants to do it can do it." Ji Jiuying glared at him irritably, cursing inwardly, "You pervert! I'm only fourteen years old. Are you a pedophile?!"
Gong Mingyue's smile deepened. This girl was truly shrewd. He couldn't help but walk over to her and reach out to ruffle her hair. "Don't worry, I will help you break the seal."
Having received his affirmative answer, Ji Jiuying stopped dawdling.
"I've made a rough observation, and the poison in your body has been there for at least five years. As for how many types of poison there are, I'll need to take your pulse to find out."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, girl!"
Ji Jiuying looked at the outstretched hand. It was a beautiful hand, with long, slender fingers and clearly defined knuckles. Faint blue veins were visible on the back of the hand, and it was fair and clean without an ounce of excess fat. Without hesitation, Ji Jiuying reached out and grabbed his wrist to take his pulse, her brows furrowing more and more as she took his pulse.
This man is incredibly patient, suffering from three deadly poisons at the same time. And these aren't ordinary poisons; the three poisons are linked together like a nine-linked ring.
"If I'm not mistaken, you have three types of poison in your body, and these three poisons are extremely potent, mutually restraining and interlocking. To cure them, they must be cured simultaneously; there's no time to waste. If it weren't for your profound strength, you would probably be dead by now. I can help you detoxify, but I need the medicinal herbs!"
“That’s right. If you can cure this poison, the medicinal herbs won’t be a problem!” Gong Mingyue agreed without hesitation.
Ji Jiuying reached into her sleeve, took out the antidote pills she had developed from her spatial storage, and handed them to Gong Mingyue.
"Here's a bottle of antidote pills for you. Take them to suppress the poison when it takes effect, but remember not to use your spiritual power to suppress it. I'll write down the prescription for you later."
Gong Mingyue took the bottle: "I will come tonight to help you break the seal and bring the prescription with me."
Watching his retreating figure, Ji Jiuying blurted out, "Who are you? What's your name?"
"Gong Mingyue".
The faint fragrance emanating from him vanished with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
Gong Mingyue? Wow! So he's actually the Grand Preceptor of Cangyue Kingdom!
Although the original owner rarely left the house, the name Gong Mingyue was known to everyone in Cangyue Kingdom.
It is said that Cangyue Kingdom was the weakest of the three great kingdoms until five years ago when a national advisor suddenly appeared in Cangyue Kingdom... No one knows where he came from, and no one knows his strength!
Legend has it that a venerable elder of the seventh rank of the Spirit Venerable realm once challenged him, but he simply raised his hand gracefully, and the challenger instantly exploded and died.
It should be noted that there are very few powerful individuals in the Cangyue Kingdom during the Great Retirement Stage, and they can disappear in an instant!
In short, he is the most powerful being in the Cangyue Kingdom, and even the emperor treats him with utmost respect.
It is also said that this Grand Preceptor has a bad temper, is decisive in killing, and has a severe case of mysophobia, never allowing anyone to get close to him... especially women!
Ji Jiuying remembered how rude she had been to him just now, and suddenly felt that she was really lucky to be alive!
But he wasn't as scary as the rumors suggested, was he? Okay! Rumors are indeed unreliable.
"Granny Zhang, I'm hungry! Have you made breakfast yet?" Ji Jiuying was starving after a long morning of work.
Granny Zhang had just finished treating Qingling's injuries and rushed over, looking a little uneasy. "Miss, Qingling went to the kitchen this morning and asked, and they said they didn't prepare any ingredients for Lihe Courtyard today... They told us to figure it out ourselves."
This is outrageous! I am the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, how dare they treat me so harshly!
Ji Jiuying walked into the kitchen and looked around. A maid came from the side room, carrying four dishes and a soup. It seemed she was going to eat.
He didn't even glance at her when he saw her arrive, let alone bow, and went straight to the east wing.
Ji Jiuying coldly called out to the other person, "Stand still!"
"What are you yelling about?" The maid turned around impatiently and glared at Ji Jiuying.
Xiaoyu was so excited about being selected to work at the General's Mansion that she couldn't sleep. But she never expected to be assigned to this good-for-nothing as soon as she arrived. She couldn't eat or sleep well, let alone make any money. She was furious.
Later, in order to live a better life in the General's Mansion, he flattered Ji Fengyan and took advantage of the fact that the original owner was easy to bully. He completely disregarded Ji Jiuying and obeyed her orders countless times, using underhanded methods to torment the original owner.
Ji Jiuying snorted coldly at the maid's disregard for her.
“Here, I am the master and you are the servant. Who gave you the audacity to speak to your master like that?”
"Who gave you the right to withhold my ingredients?"
The maid was stunned. Had this good-for-nothing taken the wrong medicine or gotten her head caught in a door today? After regaining her senses, she slowly walked over and looked down at Ji Jiuying.
