Chapter 158.1: The Heart of the Black Demonic Nightcrawler (1/2)

“It cures a hundred poisons?” Tang Doudou was stunned for a moment before she grabbed Jun Xin’s hand excitedly. “What you mean is that, that the bug heart can cure the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance!?”

“If the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance is one of the hundred poisons. If it isn’t, then there’s nothing to be done.” He had searched through numerous ancient texts and inquired after many people who had secluded themselves from the world in order to find a way to cure the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance. The most reliable method he found was the Black Demonic Nightcrawler’s heart.

For the sake of this heart, he had used half a month to search and finally found a way to restrain the Black Demonic Nightcrawler.

So he found an opportunity to bring Tang Doudou here to kill the Black Demonic Nightcrawler and get its heart. Even if it didn’t cure her poison, it wouldn’t cause her any harm.

Tang Doudou scratched her head, not very satisfied with this answer. However, she understood as well that if the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance was that easy to cure, it wouldn’t have stumped so many people.

Even Baili Yu with his extensive capabilities didn’t have a surefire way to cure it.

“Thank you, Jun Xin!” She never expected that Jun Xin would be this concerned about her. It was hard to imagine him flipping through so many ancient texts with his irascible personality.

Jun Xin gave a light smile. “There’s no need for thanks. Just remember to get my bowl and chopsticks next time.”

“Ahem…” Tang Doudou coughed awkwardly and acted like she didn’t know what he was talking about.

The two continued walking forward. With Jun Xin leading the way, Tang Doudou didn’t have to worry about crashing into a wall. They had probably turned a corner because her line of sight immediately widened. There were specks of light in the darkness ahead of them, as if there was a crowd of fireflies dancing.

Jun Xin lowered his voice and said, “We’re here. Be careful, the Black Demonic Nightcrawler is very sensitive to sound. Just a bit of sound would alarm it.”

What he said was very scary. When Tang Doudou recalled the enormous shadow she had seen that day, she immediately covered her mouth and nodded.

As the two gradually made their way forward, the sound of low breathing came from the darkness. It sounded almost like snores.

“Wait here. After I get the bug heart out, eat it immediately, got it?” Jun Xin turned back again to exhort.

Upon hearing this, Tang Doudou froze. She had to eat the bug heart raw?

She imagined that tragically bloody sight, then grabbed Jun Xin. “Can it be eaten raw?”

“If you want to die you can choose not to eat it!” Jun Xin’s tone turned tsundere again, causing Tang Doudou’s teeth to itch.

“There are a lot of parasites in raw stuff, don’t you know?”

Jun Xin was practically angered to laughter by what she said. Treasures like these were things people could only come across by extreme luck. Anyone would be honored to have the opportunity to eat it raw, yet she was actually being picky about it!

“If you don’t want to eat it raw, could it be that you want to stir-fry it, steam it in broth, and recook it first?”

“Hm, I feel like this suggestion isn’t bad!”

…was this woman’s brain made of mud?

Fuuu…

Right at this time, the sound of an exhalation came.

Jun Xin hastily stepped in front to shield Tang Doudou. “Be careful, it’s about to wake up.”

Tang Doudou immediately recalled that huge figure again and her heart leaped into her throat.

Swoosh!

A chilling light flickered in the darkness. Jun Xin had taken out his dagger.
