Chapter 239.1: Lets Get Married (2/2)

Hence, Qing Yu pretended to have diarrhea once again and ran to ask Baili Yu what to do again.

By the time she came back, she found that Tang Doudou was already with Tian Weishi. They were chatting while Tian Weishi taught her how to read, and they seemed quite engrossed in the activity.

Heavens ah!

Qing Yu could only use diarrhea as an excuse once again. Tang Doudou walked up and pulled her to a stop out of concern. “It’s best if we have a doctor look at you. You might have eaten something bad.”

Qing Yu smiled bitterly. How could she have eaten anything bad?

However, due to Tang Doudou’s firm urging, Qing Yu obediently went to find the doctor that was traveling with them.

Tian Weishi only looked up after she left. He wanted to say something, but hesitated.

“What is it, Grandpa?” Tang Doudou asked.

Tian Weishi stroked his beard. “This Hoarfrost Poison… Is one of your friends poisoned with it?”

When Tang Doudou heard that, she knew that something was up. She had felt that something was strange back when Baili Yu said the Hoarfrost Poison was recorded in this book, but she couldn’t tell what exactly was the strange part.

“Yes yes! It’s a very important friend of mine. What is it?” She stared at Tian Weishi eagerly. “What does this say about it?”

Tian Weishi replied, “It said that the Hoarfrost Poison is a very rare slow-acting poison. A person can only be poisoned with it if they are soaked in it from the time they are born.”

“Soaked in it? What do you mean?” As expected, it wasn’t as simple as Baili Yu had put it! Tang Doudou pressed Tian Weishi impatiently to tell her more.

“It’s only mentioned briefly, but this old man’s guess is that the child is soaked in very concentrated toxic liquid so that the poison would slowly seep into the child’s entire body. But, to use this method on a newborn infant is way too cruel!” Tian Weishi’s tone was a little gloomy. Perhaps he had recalled his own children who had died so tragically.

Baili Yu. From the time he was little, he had been soaked in a poison bath and then that poison eventually became the Hoarfrost Poison.

Where were his parents at that time? Why would they let someone do something like that to him?

How was he, as a little child, able to endure being soaked in poison?

It was truly too horrible to imagine. Tang Doudou repressed the sadness in her heart. She felt like every time she found out a little more about Baili Yu, her heart would ache a lot. The reason he was so strong was because the things he experienced growing up were completely different from what normal people experienced, to the point that it was a little extreme.

“And then?” When Tang Doudou saw that Tian Weishi was also starting to daze out, she prompted him to continue reading.

“The infant that has been soaked in the poison will be in a half-dead state for seven days. After seven days, the infant can be woken with a special antidote and all the blood in the child’s body will turn black. Following that, by feeding the child a type of poison every day, the Hoarfrost Poison will form in the child’s body after three years.”

“That’s way too inhumane!” Tang Doudou felt a chill just listening to the description of the process. It was seriously way too terrifying! How was this a way of poisoning someone? It was clearly a way to use a person to make a poison!

In the past, when she was randomly browsing through forum posts, she read one that introduced the witchcraft of the Miao Tribe. A particular article that stuck vividly in her mind was the one about making a poison human.

The way it was done was also by selecting a very small child to use as a container for the poison. The child would be fed all sorts of witch poison and insect poison so that when the child grew up, he would be like a walking poison-producing machine – every drop of his blood, every chunk of his flesh would carry extremely toxic poison.

Was the characteristic of the Hoarfrost Poison like that of a poison human?

“It truly is cruel to use an infant to cultivate poison. How much children must have been sacrificed in the attempt to produce one success?” Although Shi Weishi was already old and gray-haired, his eyes were still bright with strength and spirit. It had been twenty years since he had paid any attention to the Jianghu, but he hadn’t expected for someone to have actually used such evil methods.

These people were using such inhumane and cruel methods, so much like the people that had killed his family back then!

When his thoughts reached this point, he subconsciously tightened his grip on the book. That hatred sealed away in his heart was about to surge out again.
