Chapter 980 - 980: Medicine for Wei Xu

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Saintess brought Emissary Lu back to the sleeping hall of the Holy Maiden Temple.

The three trusted emissaries beside her, Emissary Lin, had been injured in the Qionghua Hall and had been recuperating in bed. Emissary Lu was in charge of the common affairs of the Holy Maiden Temple, and she was not as steady as Emissary Loo, so she only brought Minister Loo along.

The Saintess stood in front of the quiet and dark window and gave Emissary Loo a look. Emissary Lu knew what the Saintess wanted to do next.

She dismissed the disciples in the sleeping hall and gently closed the door. She lit two dim oil lamps and waited respectfully at the side.

The Saintess pressed the mechanism on the windowsill, and the wall beside her slowly moved, revealing a dark secret room.

“Take it out.’

The Saintess instructed calmly.

“Yes.”

Emissary Loo walked in and took out a palm-sized jade bowl.

She presented it to the Saintess with both hands.

The Saintess removed the lid of the bowl. Inside was a small snow-white Gu worm.

The Saintess took out the dagger at her waist, cut her finger, and dripped a few drops of warm blood into the bowl.

There was never only one way to control puppets. Every puppet expert had actually been poisoned. This was just in case they lost control.

With the improvement of the medicine and her control methods, there were rarely any puppets that she had lost control of.

Wei Xu was an exception.

Now, the Saintess wanted to use this mother Gu to summon the child Gu in Wei Xu’s body.

The reason why she did not try this method previously was that this method would consume a certain amount of energy for the person who planted the Gu.

Not only did the Saintess have to raise it with blood, but she also had to expend a large amount of internal strength.

In addition, the mother Gu would also emit a powerful poison.

Emissary Loo’s face began to turn pale.

The Saintess sealed her acupoints with two fingers and gave her a poisonous pill.

“Thank you for the medicine, Saintess.”

Emissary Lu bowed.

She felt better.

The Saintess said seriously, “The poisonous pill only has an efficacy period of six hours. If we can’t recall Wei Xu before that, we have to stop the Gu. Otherwise, both of us will be poisoned to death.”

Emissary Loo’s expression changed. “Then if…”

The Saintess said calmly, “Wei Xu’s situation is the same as ours. If he doesn’t return within six hours, he will die from the poison.”

After the child Gu sensed the summoning of the mother Gu, it would control Wei Xu to return to the mother Gu. At the same time, it would release a large amount of poison.

Wei Xu did not have any anti-poison pills. He would only be more anxious than them.

Wei Ting sent Su Xiaoxiao home.

Just as she arrived at the Cheng family’s door, Su Xiaoxiao woke up.

She opened her eyes and lay in Wei Ting’s arms, looking straight at him. “Did you secretly kiss me just now?” Wei Ting had a cold expression. “No.” Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes.

Wei Ting said, “We’re here. You should go in.”

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to argue with him, but she suddenly felt something in the pharmacy.

This was the first time she had such a feeling after owning the pharmacy.

Was it an illusion, or had her relationship with the pharmacy deepened?

She had to confirm it quickly.

“I’ll let you off first!”

Su Xiaoxiao got out of the carriage.

Wei Ting heaved a sigh of relief.

Su Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain. “You kissed me secretly!”

Wei Ting recovered in a second. “No.”

Forget it, she would enter the pharmacy first and get it back with interest next time.

Su Xiaoxiao returned to Cheng Sang’s courtyard.

Cheng Sang and the three children were asleep, and Uncle Quan and Yuchi Xiu were playing chess in the courtyard.

The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched.

Yuchi Xiu chuckled. “You didn’t expect me to be so elegant in the mortal world, right?”

Su Xiaoxiao punched Yuchi Xiu’s head, rendering him speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao entered the house and closed her eyes.

There was indeed an additional box of medicine on the table in the lounge.

It was liquid. There were a total of five small bags.

There was no specific treatment.

Su Xiaoxiao held her forehead.

Su Xiaoxiao put away the medicine and looked at the Snake Bone Flower.

Recently, she would come in every day to fertilize and water the Snake Bone Flower. It seemed to be effective.

The flower bud had grown larger and seemed to be flowering.

“Flower bud… Snake Bone Flower…”

Something flashed across Su Xiaoxiao’s mind. She looked at the new medicine in her pouch and muttered, “Could it be for Wei Xu?”

After coming out of the pharmacy, Su Xiaoxiao came to the courtyard.

Yuchi Xiu and Uncle Quan had already killed five rounds on the chessboard.

Yuchi Xiu didn’t win a single round.

In the sixth round, Yuchi Xiu stabbed the sword into the ground.

Uncle Quan endured the humiliation and tried very hard to lose to Yuchi Xiu. In the end, he was in trouble.

It was even harder to lose to such a fool than to win against a freaking chess master!

‘Yuchi Xiu.”

Su Xiaoxiao came to his side and smiled at him.

Yuchi Xiu felt his hair stand on end. “Don’t look at me like that. You’ll make me misunderstand!”

Uncle Quan gave him a speechless look, as if to say, “Are you still worried that Young Miss will like you?”

Young master was much smarter than he was!

That’s right. In Uncle Quan’s heart, he had already automatically treated Wei Ting as his future son-in-law.

Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile, “There’s something that Wei Ting has been doing, but isn’t he not around? I thought about it and thought that maybe you can do it for me?”

Yuchi Xiu muttered, “Has anyone else done that?”

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and replied seriously, “Other than Wei Ting, no.”

Yuchi Xiu trembled and suddenly hugged his arms to protect his small chest. “Don’t mess around! I don’t want to fool around with mortals like you!” Su Xiaoxiao grabbed his collar and pulled him off the stone stool. Yuchi Xiu couldn’t fight her either. What if he hurt the fetus?

“Hey, hey, hey, let go! I won’t obey you!”

Su Xiaoxiao dragged the sack into the house.

Uncle Quan shook his head. “Sigh.”

Su Xiaoxiao closed the door and inserted the bolt. She pointed at the small bamboo bed in the room. “Lie on it.”

Yuchi Xiu was even more terrified.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “What are you waiting for? Lie down and take off your shirt.” Yuchi Xiu crossed his arms, looking like he would rather die than submit.

Su Xiaoxiao was annoyed. She walked over, grabbed his chin, and dripped a small drop of medicine into his mouth.

“You’re still… Wu—”

Su Xiaoxiao covered his mouth and let him swallow.

Hearing the gurgle, Su Xiaoxiao let go of him.

Yuchi Xiu was like a wife who had been ruthlessly ruined. He sat on the ground soullessly.

She had already drugged him. He was finished…

Su Xiaoxiao took out her stethoscope, peeled off his shirt, and listened for a while. “His heart rate is normal.” She took his pulse again.

“Her pulse is normal.”

She looked at his fingers and glabella.

“No symptoms of poisoning.”

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “Oh, it seems that it’s indeed oral medicine, but I don’t know what it’s for.”

In Elder Lou’s courtyard.

Wei Xu was still waiting for Su Xua, Su Li advised him to go back first. Alternatively, he could come in and sleep.

Wei Xu did not move.

Su Li was at her wit’s end. “If you’re not sleeping, I’ll go sleep first. If you’re tired, come in. I’ll leave the door open for you.”

Actually, it was not too late, but Su Li was injured, so he was sleepy.

He turned and went into his room.

Suddenly, Wei Xu moved behind him.
