Chapter Seventy-Four: The Three-Day Period of Weakness



Because of Su's gentle movement, Mu Qingyun only felt as if she had been bitten by a mosquito on her arm. Before long, all the medicine in the syringe had been injected into her body.

The arm, which had turned purple, began to gradually return to normal thanks to this medicine.

"Is that all?" She looked down at the syringe in Su's hand, a sense of curiosity rising within her.

The original owner had memories of this kind of thing, but it didn't exist in her time. Seeing it for the first time, she was incredibly curious.

“Yes, but the insect venom clearing agent has a side effect,” Su lowered his eyes to meet hers and said softly, “Within three days, you will feel weak all over and have no energy to do anything.”

Three days?

So long?

She frowned and moved her arm. Although the pain was gone, she did feel weak.

"What can we do then? Is there any way to alleviate this side effect?"

What do you think?

Kazel, who was behind her, walked up to her, looked down at the needle marks on her arm, and sneered, "Take care of yourself before you save others."

"It's not that bad. I'm already like this and you're still criticizing me." Mu Qingyun glanced at him, speechless. Saving Su was instinctive, but who knew that the insectoids, who looked so clumsy, could bite so swiftly?

“Serves you right. For the next three days, you’ll stay in the house and not go anywhere.” Kazel narrowed his eyes and said firmly, leaving no room for argument.

Upon hearing this, she didn't speak, but simply frowned in annoyance.

She hates it when people talk to her in that tone. Even if they care about her, there's no need to say it in such a domineering way.

"It's alright, I'll stay with you for the next three days. Thank you for saving me." Su smiled at her, her eyes full of gratitude.

The reason Mu Qingyun was injured was because she was trying to save him.

"Of course." Mu Qingyun lowered her eyes, looked at Su's hand on her arm, and almost without thinking, raised her hand and pressed it on.

"But don't you feel any remorse at all?" A playful smile flashed in her eyes as she spoke slowly.

Hearing this, not only Sue, but even Kazel was taken aback.

Sensing Su's sudden stiffness, she smiled as if she had pulled off a prank, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

[Is this flirting? Just asking.]

[Hahaha, this is hilarious! Aren't you even a little bit remorseful? Unbelievable! I'd probably die of embarrassment on the spot.]

This is the first time I've seen Mu-ge so... mischievous? Or should I call him mischievous?

[This looks like a scene from an idol drama! I'm totally shipping them, everyone!]

[But Su's injection technique was so skillful, could he have studied medicine?]

...

"Brother Mu!"

Xiong Ruoyou and Fan Xuanye ran in from the outer edge of the fire circle and rushed to Mu Qingyun's side.

"Are you alright, Brother Mu?" Xiong Ruoyou looked at her with concern. She had seen Mu Qingyun being bitten by the insectoids clearly.

However, when I looked at Mu Qingyun's arm, I didn't see any of the changes that should have occurred after being bitten by the insectoids.

"Brother Mu, are you... alright?"

Hearing this surprised and somewhat incredulous tone, Mu Qingyun almost laughed. "What, are you hoping something bad will happen to me?"

"No, no, I absolutely didn't have that thought!" Hearing this, Xiong Ruoyou panicked and didn't realize that she was joking, so she hurriedly shook her head and denied it.

The more anxious you are, the less clearly you can speak.

Seeing that Xiong Ruoyou was so anxious that she was about to cry, she stopped joking and immediately explained, "Su just injected me with a medicine, and I'm fine now."

"Yes, insect venom remover." Su nodded and shook the syringe in her hand.

"How come you brought insect venom clearer? The military academy's review team clearly doesn't allow similar drugs to be brought in." Fan Xuanye raised an eyebrow in confusion, looking at the syringe in Su's hand.

He brought several vials with him before he came, just in case there really were insectoids here. If he were bitten by them, at least he would have a chance to heal himself.

But military academies don't allow you to bring them. If you get bitten by the Zerg, you have to press the elimination button yourself and ask the military academy for help.

"I don't know either, Yi Beixuan gave it to me." Su looked up at Fan Xuanye and directly pushed the blame onto Yi Beixuan.

Since that person isn't here and he doesn't have any good excuses, he has no other choice but to resort to this tactic.

"Yi Beixuan?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xuan Ye's eyes turned cold, and he ultimately remained silent.

Ah, Yi Beixuan? Now, I have another unanswerable question in my mind.

[Sigh, Yi Beixuan has already been eliminated. Where are we supposed to ask him why he was able to bring in the insect poison remover?]

I just searched online and found no information about Yi Beixuan, not even on any software.

[Aaaaaaah, I really want to know why!]

...

"If there's nothing else, go inside. You need to rest." Su held her arm and pulled her into the house.

Mu Qingyun simply went along with his force and was led forward. "Wouldn't resting well speed up the disappearance of the side effects?"

Hearing her words, a hint of helplessness flashed in Su's eyes. Why was this person so eager to recover? Wouldn't it be better to just rest properly?

He sighed softly and said calmly, "No."

Won't?

That would be far too much of a side effect.

Back in her room, she went straight to her cubicle, lay down on the straw mat, and stared blankly at the needle marks on her arm.

The fact that I can't cultivate for the next three days is truly devastating news.

"Did you defeat the Zerg?" Bai Feifei asked cautiously as she looked at the group of people who had entered.

“We’ve already defeated her,” Kazel walked up to her, looking down at her with a disdainful smile. “You’ve always been so loud and boastful, why are you so scared now?”

"Who, who said I'm scared?" Bai Feifei couldn't stand being mocked, so she stood up and resumed her previous demeanor, but her pale face gave her away completely.

Seeing this, Kazel ignored her and turned to walk back to his spot, but then, as if suddenly remembering something, he changed direction.

He walked straight to Mu Qingyun's side, squatted down, and said, "Mu Qingyun, I want to talk to you about something."

"Speak," Mu Qingyun replied without looking up.

“Yi Beixuan was eliminated, so his room is now empty. I’d like to stay in his room, is that alright?” Kazel whispered to her. “I can go to the bottom of the sea and find you five high-quality red pearls.”

Red pearl?

She then looked up at Kazel. The offer was very sincere. Since the cubicle was empty anyway, exchanging it for five red pearls was quite worthwhile.

"Okay, but you have to give me the pearls first."
