Chapter 83 - Poison (2) (1/2)
Wang Luo Hai was surprised with the turn of events, even Mei Li gu niang and her shadow guards. Wang Luo Hai asked Mei Li gu niang in panic, ”What happened to my son? The poison isn't supposed to make someone fainted.”
Mei Li gu niang quickly checked on Yao Ying's pulse and told Wang Luo Hai her diagnose, ”This isn't because of my poison. Something triggered his brain, probably about his missing memories. I remember that your stepson lost his memories, right?”
”Yes, he is. Will he be okay?”
”I will help him with acupuncture to lessen his pain and he will be okay in a few shichen. In the meantime, I need to make him relax his brain and let him sleep for a little while,” Mei Li gu niang explained. She was a poison master, but also a doctor. Helping Yao Ying was a small matter to her, but Wang Luo Hai was truly feeling grateful to her.
”Thank You, Mei Li gu niang.”
Mei Li gu niang knew that Wang Luo Hai was his master's important subordinates, so she couldn't let something happened to Yao Ying or it would affect their relationship. She worked diligently and Wang Luo Hai was in awe when looking at how she tried to cure Yao Ying with her skill. No wonder she could stay by Master's side. Mei Li gu niang might be young, but she was talented in her own way.
After one shichen had passed, Mei Li gu niang finally finished her treatment. ”He will be fine. Do you bring your subordinates?”
”You know the rules. I don't,” Wang Luo Hai gulped. Did he have to drag Yao Ying all the way to their home? His old bone would break along the way and he could only do basic defense. He indeed brought two shadow guards, but he couldn't let them follow until here so they stayed a bit far from him.
”When will he wake up?” Wang Luo Hai asked.
”Approximately one more shichen.” Mei Li gu niang answered him, laughing. ”How do you plan to take him home, old man? Will you let him sleep in the wilderness just like this?”
Wang Luo Hai gritted his teeth in annoyance. How dare she called him old man? Even though he knew that he wouldn't be able to bring Yao Ying home in this condition, he wouldn't admit it. ”Don't worry! I can wait until he wakes up. Only one more shichen, right?”
”Oh well... I have two shadow guards here... I actually planned to help you and let them take away your son. But... you don't need my help, right?”
Wang Luo Hai felt like vomiting blood due to what Mei Li gu niang said. Did she want him to throttle her? He was more concerned with Yao Ying's condition than his pride. So, when he saw Mei Li gu niang turned around and wanted to leave even without a proper goodbye, he called her, ”Wait... Mei Li gu niang!”
”Yes, Wang Luo Hao da ren?” Mei Li gu niang asked sweetly. In her mind, she chanted, 'Beg me! Beg me! Beg me!' This old man was her favorite person to tease. She knew that the master regarded this Wang Luo Hai highly and she was simply jealous. In her mind, the master was hers and hers alone.
Wang Luo Hai gritted his teeth but he naturally had to succumb to this weird woman's wish. He needed her help and he could only begged, ”Please help this old man!”
Mei Li gu niang pretended to stretch her neck and put on of her hands on her ears. ”Say that again? I can't clearly hear you... Can you speak louder?”
Wang Luo Hai closed his eyes, trying to calm himself. This woman was as annoying as Lin Zheng. Why did he always surrounded by these types of people? He chanted inside his mind, 'This is for Yao Ying! Yao Ying! Yao Ying!'
”Mei Li gu niang, please help this old man's son!” Wang Luo Hai spoke louder.
