Chapter 142 - Chronic Poisoning (1/2)

Ch142 – Chronic Poisoning

Duan Yuyang exhaled a faint, foul breath, “Yes. The poison in my body has already acc.u.mulated for more than ten years, and it has seeped into my internal organs, muscles and bones. It wouldn’t kill me, but I’m afraid that my cultivation would at most be able to reach the Foundation Stage ba!”

Yan Tianhen was stunned. He muttered, “How could that be?”

“Breaking Yang Gra.s.s…she’s really vicious.” Strong aversion flashed through Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes, “That kind of herb is a poisonous Yin item for taking away one’s ability to produce heirs. If taken for too long, it’ll affect future generations.”

“You’re pretty knowledgeable about that.” Duan Yuyang laughed, “I don’t think I’ll ever be able to have any children of my own in this life. The Duan family will belong to Duan Yuhao from now on.”

Just by listening to the name ‘Breaking Yang Gra.s.s’, one can know what its effect is.

This kind of spiritual herb is very powerful, and not common. It is extremely difficult to refine it into pills because of its special attributes, so most alchemists will refine it into medicinal liquid. But even if that’s the case, to an alchemist, it would require great effort to refine Breaking Yang Gra.s.s.

After consuming Breaking Yang Gra.s.s and having it acc.u.mulate in the body over a long period of time, it will disperse the internal Yang Qi of the one who consumes it, and gradually increase their Yin Qi. In fact, if he had taken it for a few more years, Duan Yuyang may even start exhibiting female characteristics.

But he did not dare show it. He was afraid that the malicious person would sense something and kill him to prevent him from divulging the secret.

When Lin Xuanzhi saw Duan Yuyang’s despondent look, he couldn’t help but feel sympathetic.

“What do you plan to do now?” Lin Xuanzhi asked.

“What can I do?” Duan Yuyang laughed at himself and leaned against a tree as he looked at the sky. “I don’t want to care about the Duan family’s affairs anymore. Since they want the Duan family, then let them take it ba. I only have about a hundred more years left to live. There are so many places in this world I haven’t seen or walked through yet. I have to start planning for myself now too.”

Yan Tianhen looked worried as well, and comforted, “There may be other ways to get rid of the poison. Yuyang Gege, don’t feel too depressed.”

Duan Yuyang smiled and shrugged, “There’s nothing for me to feel depressed about. I just feel that fate is impermanent. Why care about other people’s gazes? I suddenly realise that I don’t really like Yuan Tianwen that much anymore.”

Yan Tianhen was stunned. “Yuyang Gege, I didn’t know that you had always liked him so much.”

Duan Yuyang said in a bad mood, “At the very least, we’ve slept together so many times, so even if there aren’t any feelings, some must have sprouted from all that sleeping.”

Yan Tianhen was flabbergasted. “You slept with him? And the two of you slept together many times??”

Lin Xuanzhi pulled Yan Tianhen to his side and cast a dissatisfied glance at Duan Yuyang, “There are children around, pay attention to what you say.”

“Yeah, I don’t understand anything.” Yan Tianhen blinked with an innocent face.

Duan Yuyang narrowed his eyes as he scrutinised Yan Tianhen. After a short moment, the corners of his lips suddenly curved up and he smiled evilly, “Henhen ah, you’ve even followed Gege to brothels before. Have you forgotten all about that?”

Yan Tianhen, “…”

Yan Tianhen looked at Duan Yuyang with sympathetic eyes.

Duan Yuyang realised something and shut his mouth up, then his gaze started wandering elsewhere.

Lin Xuanzhi squinted and stared at Duan Yuyang, “You took Ah Hen to brothels?”

“How could I? Who would dare take him to brothels? I was just spouting nonsense.” Duan Yuyang swore to the heavens and guaranteed repeatedly, “I didn’t lead your younger brother astray. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Henhen.”

“Have you ever been to one?” Lin Xuanzhi asked.

“No.” Yan Tianhen answered without hesitation.

“Have you ever been to one?” Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes turned slightly cold.

Yan Tianhen shut his mouth, then lowered his head and didn’t dare speak.

Lin Xuanzhi pinched Yan Tianhen’s cheeks, “Go back to the carriage to rest.”

Yan Tianhen tossed a gaze at Duan Yuyang to say ‘all the best’ before jumping and limping as he ran away.

Duan Yuyang, “…”

d.a.m.n it, why do I have such a loose mouth!

“Let me explain that to you a little.” Duan Yuyang laughed twice and cleared his throat. “Um, you should know about Ah Hen’s body too. He has a natural Yin body, so there will probably be a lot of people who will have designs on him. You need to let him understand that way of the world in advance, otherwise, he may not even know when he’s being taken advantage of in the future.”

Lin Xuanzhi stared at Duan Yuyang furtively, and his gaze made the hairs on Duan Yuyang stand on their end.

“Hey, say something ah, why are you staring at honourable me like that? It’s not my fault for being handsome.” Duan Yuyang muttered, “Don’t suspect me ah. Even though I’m not that good a person, I definitely won’t harm him.”

“Thank you.” Lin Xuanzhi said, “I’ve seen how you treat Ah Hen, and I naturally believe what you said.”

Duan Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief and patted Lin Xuanzhi’s shoulder. “I’m glad you understand.”
