1954 I Will Do As You Say (1/2)

Yuhang Zhenren gazed at Gu Xijiu with eyes full of hope and said, ”Chongsheng, do you know about this type of poison? How should we cure it?”

Gu Xijiu remained silent. Instead, she circled Qing Luo to observe her. Then, she took out a light blue needle. As seen from her eyes, panic started to fall upon Qing Luo. Swiftly, Gu Xijiu placed several needles on her neck, her hands, and her back.

Qing Luo was suffering from a severe itching all over her body. She wanted to bite on anything just to feel better. Gu Xijiu's acupuncture treatment gave her an immediate sense of relief, at least for now.

She gasped for air, hoping that Gu Xijiu would place a few more needles to save her from the misery. The blue needles had visibly turned pink. Only the very end of the needle, the part where Gu Xijiu was holding, was still in its original color.

She flicked the needle away, and it disappeared instantly when it hit the wall.

”The poison that she has got is the Cherry Blossom Snake Poison. The poison is contagious. It is best if you stay away from her to avoid any skin contact,” Gu Xijiu answered with great composure.

All were panicked. Yuhang Zhenren was astonished as well. ”Is there any cure?”

”There is. Please wait for a moment.”

Gu Xijiu teleported to the side of Si Qing and demanded. ”Give me your hand.”

”Ah?” Si Qing was obviously bewildered.

”You are poisoned as well. If you want to live, give me your hand now.” Then, Gu Xijiu took out another blue needle.

Si Qing trusted her, so he gave her both hands and looked at her fixedly, overwhelmed with a strong sense of admiration. His female idol was about to cure the poison for him.

He was grateful for the poison, all of a sudden. Otherwise, she would not approach him, as closely as she was now. Nonetheless, he was still a little nervous for what Gu Xijiu was about to do. Shen Nianmo suddenly offered. ”Let me do it.”

He then took the needle away from Gu Xijiu.
