C19 Poisoning

Xu Li shook his head, disbelief written all over his face. Li Yuan wanted to say more, but the male Gui You behind him had already jumped at him, giving him no chance at all.

Li Yuan dodged for a while and quickly hid himself in a corner at the back, keeping Gui You far away from the cave.

Xu Li couldn't think of anything else to do as he saw this. He thought for a while, then called out to his needle bag. He held the newly nurtured Ghost Mind in his hand, planning on sneaking an attack when Gui You weren't paying attention.

Because Gui You was really fast, Li Yuan was so focused on dealing with him that he didn't notice Xu Li Li who had already crawled out of the cave.

Gui You couldn't catch Li Yuan no matter how many times he tried. His eyes became even redder as he continued to attack Li Yuan from the left and right with his mouth wide open. His speed became faster and his moves became more and more ruthless.

Only now did Li Yuan notice her. He shouted, "What are you doing here?"

It was already too late for Gui You to react. He reacted even faster than she did. His two front claws reached out and trapped Xu Li's retreat path. He turned his neck a little and, ignoring Li Yuan's charge from behind, opened his mouth to bite Xu Li's head.

"AHH!"

Due to being too flustered, Xu Li subconsciously cried out, closing his eyes and covering his head with his hands.

Xu Li opened his eyes and saw that the fan in Li Yuan's hand had somehow turned into a long and thin bone stick, standing between the upper palate and the tongue of the male Gui You.

At the same time, streams of pungent green liquid flowed down the bone stick and onto Li Yuan's hand. It was unknown whether it was the blood that flowed out from the wound on Li Yuan's hand or the venom mixed body.

Xu Li steadied his mind. Without any hesitation, he relied on his intuition and stepped on Li Yuan's shoulder. Gui You's message was like a needle!

Puff.

Amidst the powerful impact, Xu Li finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. In his mind, he didn't know what happened afterwards and only felt that everything in front of him was dark. The only thing he could be sure of was that Gui You didn't move as arrogantly.

When he woke up again, Xu Li found himself back on his bed. The clock on the wall ticked to ten in the morning.

He lowered his head to look at his body. There was a mess of blood stains, venom, and some unknown venom all over his body. His body was mottled.

He picked up his clothes and was about to take a shower in the bathroom, but just as he opened the door, a figure fell down with a thud. Looking upwards, he could just see Li Yuan's pale face, and the dried spots on his body didn't seem to be any better than the ones on Xu Li's body.

Xu Li froze for a moment. It was as if Li Yuan had been sitting outside the door all night, his back pressed against the door. Only then did she fall down the moment the door was opened.

Was he poisoned?

Xu Li wasn't sure, but his pale face and his black lips didn't seem like a normal person's face.

Since Li Yuan saved her time and time again last night, he had already upgraded to the question of how to save her.

The Ghost sect's Thirteen Needles were originally a part of the Chinese medicine, so when Xu Li had learned acupuncture, he had come in contact with a few more Chinese herbs and acupuncture treatments, but they were all the simplest. Xu Li wasn't confident in his ability to detoxify poisons.

The poison in Li Yuan's body must have been something that had never been seen before. Plus, she still hadn't determined if Li Yuan was a human or a ghost, and she shouldn't do anything bad out of kindness. When the time came, Li Yuan would be captured and studied like a rare animal.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Li carried the others to bed and took off his outer clothes, barely managing to get them into the blanket. Afterwards, he made some honeysuckle of his own in the backyard and put in all the herbs she could think of as antidotes, boiling a big pot on the stove and forcefully pouring a bowl for Li Yuan. Afterwards, he put the remaining clothes back on the stove to simmer, took a few for himself, and went to the bathroom to bathe.

Because there were outsiders at home, Xu Li washed exceptionally quickly. After washing up, he hurriedly came out and changed his clothes. Li Yuan was still sleeping on the bed, not even his expression changed.

Xu Li sat down on the side of Li Yuan's bed and thought hard for a while about what he should do with Li Yuan. When he was done, the gate that was surrounded by the fence was knocked twice.

"Li Li, are you home?"

This voice should be Xu Zhi.

Xu Li's forehead wrinkled into a large lump. He immediately thought that it must have been because of Li Yuan's nonsense the day before, going over to his aunt next door, and then sending the words back to Xu Zhi's mother's ears. After today, Xu Zhi came to visit Xu Li's adulterer who brought him home.

"Xu Zhi, you didn't work today?"

When Xu Li didn't smile, he had a cold expression. In addition, Xu Zhi originally had doubts in his heart, and even if Xu Li normally spoke to him in this way, he would still directly imagine that Xu Li really did have a boyfriend.

As such, Xu Li could be considered as greeting, but Xu Zhi didn't reply.

When Xu Li saw Xu Zhi acting like this, he had a rough idea of what was going on. He was afraid that Xu Zhi would misunderstand and hope that it would be like this. The atmosphere was awkward, so he had no choice but to find a topic to talk about.

"The pork you gave me. I transferred the money to you last night. Did you receive it?"

Xu Zhi's expression changed again when he said this. He seemed to be on the verge of collapsing as he replied to Xu Li.

"Don't worry, I'm just giving you my meat. It's not for money."

"You know what I do. I'm not short on money, so just accept it."

Xu Li waved his hand, but he still didn't have a smile on his face. His long and narrow eyes looked even colder under the pale white winter light. It made Xu Zhi's heart go cold.

"Li Li, you …"

Xu Zhi opened his mouth. He had been chasing Xu Li for several years now, and he knew what she did. He only thought that once Xu Li married him, she could let go of her worries and live a good life.

He knew that she wasn't short on money, so every time she delivered something, it would express her concern and definitely not send it to expensive ones. Sometimes, she would even help buy a bag of salt for a dollar.
