Chapter 752 - Get a New Life After Neutralizing the Poison (2/2)

If Canying were here, he would think the envoy too emotional. Why did the envoy’s eyes gradually turn red on his way to find out if the woman was alive?

Finally, the black boots stopped at the snake’s head.

The pool of purplish poisonous liquid now became as transparent as ordinary water.

A pretty fair woman lay on the side of the pool with her eyes tightly shut.

The envoy seemed even more excited. He squatted down and stretched out his trembling hand in an attempt to caress the woman’s face.

But in an instant, the woman opened her clear eyes and held a dagger shining with purple poisonous light in her hand beneath her head.

“Don’t move! If you don’t want to die a horrible death, do as I say!” She said.

How was it possible that she was the sickly woman who struggled to come up the snow mountain and to this pool three days ago?

Despite her white face, the woman in front of him was full of energy with steady breathing.

The envoy was stunned. He ignored the dagger in her hand, stretched out his arms to hug her tightly and said, “Great, sister, you made it through!”

Sister?

Hearing the clear voice belonging to a young man, Lin Mengya was stunned and hesitated to stab him with the dagger in her hand.

In this world, there seemed to be only one person calling her sister without the slightest hesitation…

“Xiaoyu! Are you Xiaoyu?” Lin Mengya asked, both surprised and delighted.

Although she had expected that the mysterious copper-masked man was not an ordinary person, she did not expect that he turned out to be Xiaoyu she had not met for more than half a year!

“Yes, I’m, sister. I’m so glad to see that you’re fine,” Xiaoyu said.

He, who had always been a composed young man, suddenly became as excited as a child in front of Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya didn’t expect that the young man she had missed terribly would appear in front of her as a member of the Candle Dragon Cult at this time.

She, who had been carried away by the surprise, finally returned to herself.

Lin Mengya pushed Xiaoyu out of her arms at once, stared at him anxiously, and said reproachfully, “Why are you here? Don’t you know it’s dangerous to do so?”

Xiaoyu took off his copper mask, and a familiar handsome young face appeared in Lin Mengya’s sight.

It had only been half a year since they last met, but Xiaoyu’s face somehow became maturer and seemed to be indicating the vicissitudes he had gone through, which even astonished her.

A strand of his hair under his cloak was inadvertently revealed. Lin Mengya was surprised to see that his hair, which had been pure black, was greyish white now.

Lin Mengya caught Xiaoyu’s hair with her hand, but he immediately took it back and carefully put it back under his cloak. Judging from the look in his eyes, he seemed to be used to it.

“What’s going on? What has happened to your hair…” Lin Mengya asked.

She could tell at a glance whether it was dyed.

His hair obviously turned greyish white from the root. What had he gone through in the past six months?

“It’s not the time to talk about this now. Sister, you must go with me. The head of the Candle Dragon Cult is mobilizing all the members to look for you. You can’t stay in the Jin State or the Nation of Lintian anymore. I come out this time to take you back to the Lieyun Empire where there are no minions of the Candle Dragon Cult,” Xiaoyu said.

Time was running out. Lin Mengya also knew that it was not the right time to inquire about Xiaoyu’s story.

She took a glance at the liquid in the pool that had become incomparably clear. It was only at this moment that she realized what exactly the so-called Seven Poisons Sacred Grass was.

The so-called Seven Poisons Sacred Grass wasn’t the translucent poisonous grass at all, but a kind of rock beneath it.

In her current understanding, this kind of rock contained a very special kind of mineral.

This mineral was capable of neutralizing all kinds of poisons, but it was very strange that once it was exposed to the air, it would turn into highly toxic gas.

If she had not fallen into the pool and passed out so that she was completely kept out of the air, she would have been poisoned to death by the poisonous fog sooner or later.

However, when she sank to the bottom of the pool, her body temporarily entered a state of suspended animation under the influence of the magical mineral.

When she woke up, she discovered that the liquid had become transparent and the poison in her body had been neutralized.

Moreover, Lin Mengya smiled and looked helplessly at the poisonous fog floating above the open space on the hillside.

When she woke up, she activated the Shen Nung system to check on her physical condition.

She didn’t know if the unlucky mutated poison in her body was too weird. Anyway, the poison in her body and the mineral neutralized each other, and the mineral was absorbed by her body.

From now on, she could be considered really immune to all poisons, and even her blood became the magical antidote to all kinds of poisons.

Alas, if her teacher learned that she became a walking detoxifying pill capable of easily neutralizing whatever poison he made, would she be immediately expelled from the sect by him?

“Someone will pick you up when you arrive at the foot of the mountain. But, sister, from now on, you have to conceal your identity for the time being.” Xiaoyu gave her instructions seriously and earnestly, dragging her back from mind-wandering.

Looking at Xiaoyu who looked worried, Lin Mengya nodded gently and said, “I’ll do as you say. From now on, Lin Mengya has gone forever.”
