“Handsome, I’m the one who’s going to be in pain from this, and I’m the one doing all the hard work.”
“You won’t feel any pain or have to put in any effort. All you have to do is grunt a little. What’s there to be unhappy about?”
Ji Yunsu supported her fat, bloated body and steeled her heart. Then, facing the handsome, otherworldly man, she slowly lowered herself.
“Hiss—”
Ji Yunsu instantly sucked in a sharp breath of cold air!
On Ji Yunsu’s face, swollen from the chronic poison in her body, her delicate eyebrows twisted tightly together like a pretzel.
Under the man’s furious, man-eating gaze, she arduously and clumsily performed the “detoxification” exercise.
To alleviate the awkwardness of having mugged a handsome man for his body, Ji Yunsu’s mind unconsciously drifted back to the scene of her arrival just yesterday.
When she had opened her eyes, she saw a gentle woman dressed simply but elegantly and a sallow, scrawny little boy wiping away tears by the bed.
Seeing her awake, the beautiful woman and the little boy rushed over, showering her with concern and asking after her health.
Ji Yunsu had lost her closest relatives at a very young age and had grown up all alone.
Although she was born with the noble status of the sole successor to China’s premier medical-martial arts family.
By the age of ten, with her silver needle skill, she had become unrivaled in the world. Her achievements in both medicine and martial arts were renowned far and wide, both within China and beyond.
Bringing the dead back to life and regenerating flesh on bones were all child’s play for her.
But even with such brilliant achievements in her career, Ji Yunsu remained alone. No matter how much praise and applause she received, there was no one to share it with.
Ji Yunsu had never felt the warmth of a family.
Upon learning that this beautiful woman was her mother and the sallow, scrawny boy was her younger brother, Ji Yunsu felt only gratitude. Heaven had not been unkind to her.
Reborn into a new life, she not only had a mother but also a brother.
Although it was a rough start, with her body swollen and ugly due to chronic poisoning, removing the toxins was just a matter of time with her medical skills.
Originally, Ji Yunsu wasn’t in a hurry to remove the chronic toxins that had accumulated in her body.
But when her mother, Liu Shi, helped her up, Ji Yunsu inadvertently felt Liu Shi’s pulse and discovered that Liu Shi was also poisoned.
And her adorable little brother’s abnormally sallow and gaunt face was not due to malnutrition either, but was also caused by chronic poisoning.
This couldn’t help but alarm Ji Yunsu!
All three family members were chronically poisoned at the same time. This kind of toxin would only make a person weaker and more haggard by the day, eventually creating the false impression of a death from a long, painful illness.
It seemed someone had done this deliberately, wanting to eliminate the three of them without anyone noticing!
The original owner’s poison had manifested earlier than Liu Shi’s and her brother’s, likely due to the original owner’s unique constitution, which made her symptoms the most obvious and severe.
Her entire body was swollen, making her look like a sow of over two hundred catties. Even her facial features had become unbearably ugly.
The situation was urgent, so Ji Yunsu couldn’t be bothered to investigate who was so vicious and calculating as to want to put their family of three to death.
Therefore, after a brief night of rest, she had dragged her swollen, heavy body into the mountains early this morning to gather medicinal herbs.
But who would have thought that with her clumsy body, her movements would be inflexible? As a result, while picking herbs, she accidentally touched a Jinzi Flower and was poisoned by it.
And this Jinzi Flower had another, prettier name: Qing Flower.
It possessed a gorgeous appearance and extremely strong vitality. Its dazzling red color was like the fiery love burning between lovers, hence its name.
However, though the Qing Flower was beautiful, its stems and leaves were thorny and poisonous. If pricked, one would become dazed and infatuated.
Normally, with Ji Yunsu’s medical skills, she could have easily concocted an antidote for herself.
But she already had other toxins in her body. When the Love Flower Poison entered her system, she immediately felt an unbearable heat coursing through her, as if her internal organs were being fried in oil and cooked over a fire.
Ji Yunsu realized that if she didn’t detoxify quickly, she would surely explode and die!
And the fastest way to detoxify was to find a man!
But in the middle of nowhere, in the dead of night, where was she supposed to find a man?
To her utter surprise, as Ji Yunsu stumbled through the mountain forest, she was tripped by an unknown object.
Her entire body went “splat” as she fell on top of this object.
The moon, as large as a silver platter, happened to peek out from behind the dark clouds.
A man with a cold, handsome face, like a banished immortal descended to the mortal realm, lay straight and still beneath her, bathed in the bright moonlight.
As the old saying goes, when a blind cat stumbles upon a dead mouse, it would be a waste not to eat it.
Never mind encountering such a top-tier handsome man who had delivered himself to her doorstep in the desolate mountains; even if it were a ghost, Ji Yunsu would have dared to pounce!
Her body on the verge of burning up and smoking from the stimulation of the Love Flower Poison, Ji Yunsu’s mind went hot. This handsome man, she would commandeer him right here and now!
“Handsome, for you to appear before me so perfectly in these desolate mountains, just when I happen to need this particular antidote…”
“Everything that happens is destined by fate. You should just try to look on the bright side.”
Ji Yunsu endured her physical discomfort, moved her swollen, pig-like face closer to the man’s, and offered a word of comfort, her voice trembling.
On Pei Wuheng’s chiseled, cold face, his indifferent expression showed a faint crack.
A thick loathing flashed through his deep, narrow phoenix eyes.
Damn it!
How dare she speak so casually after doing such a shameless and despicable thing to this king?!
Pei Wuheng instinctively wanted to push the woman away, but he found his limbs were stiff and completely immobile.
He wanted to yell at the woman, to tell her to get off him, but no sound came from his throat.
“Mmph… mmph…”
His eyes were fixed deadly on the audacious woman who, like a fat pig, was lording over him with her clumsy body.
A surge of blood rushed to his chest. Damn it, what did this fat pig do to this king?
“Handsome, don’t waste your energy. I sealed your five senses in advance. Your inability to move or speak is only temporary, no need to panic.”
Ji Yunsu said in a teasing tone.
She let out a long breath. Phew, it was finally over, and the poison was cured.
Then, she rolled off him.
In Pei Wuheng’s deep phoenix eyes, the reflection of the fat woman rolling off him was clearly visible. Fire was about to erupt from his dark, unreadable eyes!
Damn fat pig! Once this king breaks through these restraints, I will grind your bones to dust and tear your body to pieces!
“Here, I won’t sleep with you for free. You’re lying here like a corpse in the desolate mountains in the middle of the night, so your body must have a major problem.”
“When I sealed your five senses just now, I took the liberty of diagnosing you.”
“Your body is already terminally ill. If nothing unexpected happens, you won’t live past twenty-five.”
“Lately, you must have often felt that your body doesn’t obey your will, and you faint at the drop of a hat, right?”
As she spoke, Ji Yunsu confidently turned her swollen, pig-like face toward the immobile Pei Wuheng on the ground and added nonchalantly.
“Consider yourself lucky to have met me tonight. I happen to know a little about medicine. Your illness, I have a way to cure it.”
As her voice fell, Ji Yunsu brazenly grabbed the man’s long, slender fingers and popped one into her mouth!
A sudden wet, warm, and soft sensation came from his fingertip.
Pei Wuheng’s muscles tensed all over. He stared deadly at the woman’s ugly, fat, pig-like face, the blood in his chest churning even more violently.
This damn fat pig, what other filthy things does she want to do to this king?
