“As for other times, I’m not sure,” said Winston.

Bai Qingqing inhaled deeply and tried her best to keep her calm. “Will the poison disappear with time?”

“It gets weaker and weaker each time,” replied Winston.

Bai Qingqing nodded. “That’s great… that’s great…”

“Since An’an has gone through this ordeal once when she was young, it will be easier for her when she goes through this again when she gets older. One day she will fully recover from it,” Bai Qingqing said with certainty. Not sure if she was trying to convince Winston or herself.

“There’s another solution,” Winston suddenly said.

Bai Qingqing’s eyes lit up. She grabbed Winston’s hand and asked urgently, “What solution?”

“Word has it that scorpion beastmen have the antidote to their own venom. I can seek the scorpion king to ask him for the antidote. But I was only able to infiltrate Flame City by disguising myself as a rootless beast. If I look for him regarding this matter, I will no longer be able to conceal the fact that I’m not. The scorpion king wouldn’t possibly hand the antidote to me easily.”

In her anxiousness, Bai Qingqing blurted out, “Curtis’s antidote is at…”

In the midst of her sentence, Bai Qingqing pulled the brakes and changed her statement. “Curtis’s antidote is hidden in a part of his body. I’m guessing it should be the same for scorpion beastmen. You can go with Curtis. If the scorpion king refuses to give you the antidote, restrain him and force him to hand it over. This way, you should be able to obtain the antidote.”

Winston sighed and shook his head. “I have yet to get a clear picture of Flame City’s influence, so I don’t know how powerful they are. Moreover, scorpion beastmen have venom throughout their bodies. If he gives us the part that contains lethal poison, An’an would face certain death if she consumed it.”

However, he didn’t tell her about the most important point—it wasn’t worth it. With their great numbers, if all the scorpion beastmen were to band together, their village might not be able to defeat them. He didn’t wish for Bai Qingqing to be in danger because of An’an.

“Then, what should we do?” Bai Qingqing asked frantically.
