Chapter 12: Detoxification, Big Sausage.
Run! Run!
Controlling the Golden Flame Eagle, he rushed into the Star Dou Great Forest at the fastest speed.
Su Ye did not dare to look back.
At this moment, he could only pray that there was no flying soul master around Zhu Zhuyun.
"Why..."
"Why did he save me?"
Leaning on the boy's arm, Zhu Zhuqing's mouth was stained with blood, and her desperate eyes stared at the boy's anxious expression.
She… couldn't understand.
The person she trusted the most had betrayed her, but the bad guy she had just met actually risked his life to save her.
Suddenly, a piercing pain came from her abdomen.
Realizing something, Zhu Zhuqing said in a desolate voice, "Don't worry about me. Run for your life."
"I'm poisoned. I can't live anymore."
Huh? Poisoned?
Swish—his eyes fell on the bright red claw marks on Zhu Zhuqing's abdomen, and Su Ye felt his scalp go numb.
Damn it! Zhu Zhuyun was such a cruel woman that she actually painted poison on her nails.
"Hey... Hey... Hold on! Don't fall asleep!"
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing unconscious, Su Ye cursed under his breath and quickly landed in the forest.
He laid her gently on the grass.
Detoxification?
It seemed that... he couldn't do it.
His medicinal materials were all in his backpack. How could he care about those things when he was running for his life?
Su Ye scratched his head anxiously and could only get close to sniff her breath.
Fortunately, she was still breathing!
She was still warm!
"Right!"
As if grabbing a lifeline, Su Ye raised his left hand in surprise.
That was the kitten's storage ring!
Su Ye could only pray that there was healing medicine inside. It would be useless to find medicinal materials and synthesize them now.
Wow!
Out came a quilt and a bunch of girls' underwear. Su Ye didn't have the leisure to care about these.
He threw them all aside.
Finally, he successfully found two bottles of things that looked like medicine.
『Detoxification Pill』: Made of mixed medicinal materials, it has a good detoxification effect.
『Pure Heart Water』: Taking it can keep you awake and not lose your mind. It has a powerful effect on suppressing drugs and aphrodisiacs.
"Wow! Just one pill??"
Su Ye squinted at the bottle mouth, his teeth itching with anger. If this thing was useful, the kitten would have said so long ago.
One?
What could he use to synthesize a more advanced detoxification pill?
"Forget it. Try it out."
"Whether you can hold on for a few more minutes depends on how strong your life is!"
Su Ye stuffed the pill into Zhu Zhuqing's mouth and forced it down.
"Sorry!"
Looking at the poisonous blood in her abdomen, Su Ye tore open a hole in his leather jacket with both hands.
Suck~ ah tui~ suck~ ah tui~
After several rounds, Su Ye felt a little dizzy.
This poison... it's a little white...
Su Ye shook his head, didn't think too much, and continued sucking the poison to detoxify.
"Ugh——"
Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes tightly. Her frowning brows could not hide the pain.
But her pale cheeks were tinged with a strange blush.
After working for a while, Su Ye felt he couldn't hold on anymore. He wrapped Zhu Zhuqing in a quilt and found a cave to settle her down.
Then he leaned against the rock wall and staggered away.
In the blink of an eye, it was already dark.
Inside the cave, the bonfire blazed.
On the dark rock wall, light and shadow danced gracefully.
Zhu Zhuqing was lying to the side. The pain on her face had quietly receded, though her cheeks still looked a bit pale.
Nearby, Su Ye was roasting two bird legs as thick as thighs, preparing his first delicious meal after surviving the disaster.
After all his efforts, Zhu Zhuqing's life had been saved, but there were still some toxins in her body that needed proper treatment.
Su Ye was fine. The toxins he ingested were mild. He had found some detoxifying herbs in the forest and survived by synthesizing them.
"Don't mess around next time."
Looking at the campfire, Su Ye sighed, feeling a little scared.
If the poison had been stronger… If he had encountered a soul beast… he would have died in this Star Dou Great Forest.
But as a martial artist, it was his responsibility to be chivalrous and righteous. If Su Ye had to watch someone die, he couldn't just be indifferent.
Gurgle~~ (ーー゛)
Huhu~
After blowing on the meat twice, Su Ye began chewing the bird legs slowly.
"Alas, I wonder if that woman Zhu Zhuyun has left..."
All his belongings were by the lake, and Su Ye felt that the food was a bit tasteless.
There was also a ninth-grade Qingling Grass in his backpack. Although not very effective for him, it was still a treasure. He had wanted to give it to Lianmei, that girl. His big sword was also there...
Of course, those were secondary and could be obtained again.
More importantly, the bow and arrow given by Old Tom were there too.
"I can't fall into the trap myself. I'd better wait a few days before going back to check. I don't believe that woman Zhu Zhuyun is still guarding the area."
After eating, Su Ye added a few large pieces of dry wood to the campfire and then lay on the hay to rest.
In the silent night, a trembling sound echoed—like a ghost knocking on glass.
Su Ye shuddered and quickly sat up, no longer sleepy.
He looked carefully.
At some point, Zhu Zhuqing had woken up. Wrapped in a quilt, she sat by the fire hugging her knees.
As if noticing Su Ye had woken up, Zhu Zhuqing moved her arm, and the trembling sound stopped.
Seeing this, Su Ye sighed. He knew what the strange sound was.
After his mother passed away, he used to hide under the quilt at night, pretending to be strong.
But the sadness would move his muscles, and his teeth would tremble uncontrollably.
"Crying?" Su Ye came to the fire and added a handful of dry wood to the dying flames.
"No."
Like a mimosa being touched, Zhu Zhuqing turned sideways and secretly wiped away her tears, trying to pretend that nothing had happened.
Su Ye sat down cross-legged, tilted his head, and glanced at the girl's face. Her eyes were red—she had clearly been crying.
Encountering a sneak attack, Zhu Zhuqing's tearful, angry eyes seemed like she wanted to kill someone.
Su Ye didn't care. He shrugged and gave a hum.
"Well, just cry. What's there to be embarrassed about? Who hasn't encountered something that made them cry?"
"Crying isn't weakness. It's saying goodbye to the past and making yourself stronger."
"You have to face reality. No one will laugh at you for crying. But people will look down on you if you're defeated by difficulty. That's the truth."
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned.
Her fierce expression slowly faded, and she rested her head on her knees, her expression complicated and indescribable.
Yes.
In any case, she couldn't give up.
Giving up meant death.
Crying for friends and family who had betrayed her was not worth it.
One day, she would become strong and control her own destiny.
The lingering flames burned away the last trace of tears in her eyes. Zhu Zhuqing took a while to calm down, and her expression finally returned to normal.
"Thank you," Zhu Zhuqing whispered. Even in the silent night, her voice was very soft.
If he hadn't been very close, Su Ye wouldn't have heard it clearly at all.
"It's okay. I didn't suffer any loss."
Su Ye smiled happily, and the two big sausages in his mouth looked particularly eye-catching.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't respond. She only pursed her lips tightly, as if she was too close to the fire and her delicate cheeks had grown a little hot.
