âYou can really remove it?â Wei Luo, who had been quiet this whole time, asked suddenly.
Qing Shuang nodded and turned to Feng Xiao. âThe poison has flared out six times, right?â
âYes, six times.â
âHaha, youâre in luck. If your poison had flared up seven times, then it would have been troublesome.â Qing Shuang could not help feeling sorry for the manâs good luck.
âQing Shuang, is there any difference?â
âYes, of course. The Seven Worms & Seven Flowers poisons can be activated fourteen times. If you detoxify it before the seventh time then the body functions of the victim after detoxification would be improved by one level, like his internal strength. After the poison is removed, it will be better. But after the seventh attack, even if the poison was detoxified successfully, the bodyâs function would decline and it would not be able to return to its original state.â Qing Shuang explained about the special effect of the poison.
Feng Xiao looked at Qing Shuang in shock. He had never heard about this.
âThen, do you need to prepare anything?â
âNo, Nan Yu and I have the necessary things in our hands.â The two of them were passionate about making poisons. They also had countless poisons, besides, she also liked the Seven Worms & Seven Flowers poison very much. So naturally, she would have the necessary things.
Ning Meng Yao widened her eyes as she asked, âAre they enough?â
âMore than enough.â
âI think itâs better that you go and quickly develop the antidote.â Ning Meng Yao waved her away weakly.
âWhy did my lovely Qing Shuang turn out like this? She must have been influenced by Nan Yu.â
When Ning Meng Yao thought about this, she fiercely glared at Nan Yu. Nan Yu, who was being glared at, looked innocently at Ning Meng Yao. He had not done anything, why was he being blamed?
Qing Shuang dragged Nan Yu away but she took blood samples from Feng Xiao before leaving.
Feng Xiao was still in a state of dizziness. Should he be thankful that they just wanted to stall the time previously when they poisoned him?
Otherwise, according to this young lady, she still had various poisons in her hands for him to try.
âIâm suddenly quite thankful that I am not fighting with you guys anymore.â Feng Xiao seriously said after Qing Shuang left.
Ning Meng Yao was stunned for a bit, then she laughed out loud. âThere are indeed many poisons in Qing Shuangâs hands and she also carries some Gu poisons. Their effects are something that you cannot even imagine, but it was something that was possible in their hands.â
âCan you give me some samples?â Feng Xiao suddenly asked Ning Meng Yao.
âWhat do you want to do with it?â Ning Meng Yao frowned at Feng Xiao. What did he want to do with these poisons?
âThose people gave me such a great gift, how can I not give them something in return? It will be very rude of me to not return the courtesy.â Feng Xiao said coldly.
Ning Meng Yao rolled her eyes. âCan I ask who poisoned you? Of course, you donât have to say it if you donât want to. Iâm just curious. After all, you are so powerful. How can someone poison you? â
Feng Xiaoâs face became a little ugly because of what she said but he quickly recovered from it. He looked at her with a faint expression. âA woman.â
âThe person you like?â Ning Meng Yao asked curiously.
âNo. Itâs my mother.â
Eh, Ning Meng Yao touched her nose awkwardly. She was a little embarrassed as she seemed to have thought too much into it.
Feng Xiao glanced at Ning Meng Yao as his eyes were in a bit of a trance when he explained, âMy mother used to treat me well but she poisoned me for a man. Later, I even wondered about the times when she treated me well. Was it just to make me relaxed and let down my guard?â
Ning Meng Yao looked at Feng Xiao in shock. âDoes such a mother exist? Could you be mistaken?â How could a mother do such a thing to her child?
âNo, I saw it with my own eyes.â
âThen why did you still take it? Did you accidentally hit your head on the door?â Ning Meng Yao subconsciously asked.
Feng Xiao smiled bitterly. âPerhaps reaching where I was then, I did not care. Perhaps, deep down in my heart, I hoped that she wouldnât do it.â
So he had caused all this pain to himself. Those times when the poison had flared could be considered as him returning her graciousness to him. She would henceforth be his enemy when they met again in the future.
Ning Meng Yao touched her nose awkwardly and looked at Feng Xiao. Then she asked tentatively, âSince you want those poisons... You canât be planning to poison her, right?â
Feng Xiao was silent and then looked at Ning Meng Yao. âWhat if I say yes?â
