Chapter 232 (2/2)

“Not dead! Soon though...How long more?” asked the martial artist weakly.

“You should be almost done!” he answered, counting.

“Almost?” the martial artist surveyed his body, then continued, “Why is my skin still black? Why haven’t I recovered?”

The martial artist felt like he’d sufficiently detoxed but he still remained in position after seeing that his body was still black. It was a drastic change from his fair skin.

That was why he felt like he wasn’t done yet. He had to work until he got his skin colour back!

“About that. Even if you’ve excreted all the toxins, you’ll still be black because you ate the Black Poison!” answered Ye Lang, “It’s one of its side effects. People who don’t die from it will still remain black for a few months!”

“What?! A few months?” he jumped up, shouting.

“Yeah, a few months! Don’t panic, you’ll recover gradually within this period. That’s because you weren’t careful when you ate the pill! This is the price to pay!” lectured Ye Lang solemnly as if telling him not to eat random pills he found.

“...Not careful?! You were the one who gave me the pill!!” roared the martial artist, pointing at Ye Lang.

“Calm down… That’s odd...” He was still very calm.

“Odd?! What’s so odd about me being angry at you!!”

“That’s not the odd part- although I do think you’re overreacting! I find it odd that you were severely injured just a few moments ago and even poisoned- plus you had to detox for a long time- How are you so energetic now? Theoretically, you should have fainted!”

“...” The martial artist was stunned, then soon collapsed as if his body suddenly caught up with logic.

“That’s the right response! You should faint! Alright, I’ll save you now!” Once Ye Lang saw the unconscious martial artist, he slowly slipped another pill into his mouth.

If he were conscious, he’d definitely refuse. The martial artist would never trust Ye Lang in fear of him prescribing the wrong one again!

Fortunately, it was the right one this time!

“Wake up!!” Ye Lang pinched his Ren Zhong acupuncture point. This action paired with the effects of the pill soon awakened the martial artist.

The young martial artist opened his eyes to see Ye Lang in his face, immediately taking a step back to keep a safe distance between them. He was very wary of Ye Lang now.

“Alright! Look for a horse and bring me to the nearest town!” Ye Lang had just lost a coachman so he grabbed the martial artist as a tour guide. He didn’t even ask where he was heading. What if he was heading in the opposite direction?

Ye Lang was in luck, fortunately. The path they both planned to take were very similar!

Ye Lang had always been a lucky person!

“Alright, I’ll bring you there to repay your kindness!” The martial artist frowned. Although he didn’t like Ye Lang very much, he would still remember this favour.
