Chapter 875: Undoing the poison
Xie Jingchi didn't say anything, but the blue veins on his forehead became obvious to the naked eye.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were full of worry. She wiped the sweat off his forehead and wanted to help, but felt that there was nothing she could do.
"Does it hurt a lot?" Shen Shuyi said in a low voice, knowing that he had said nonsense.
But she had never experienced this scene, and couldn't empathize with it. She just felt that the man in front of her turned visibly pale.
Xie Jingchi leaned his head against Shen Shuyi's chest, his voice also a little weak: "Yes."
Seeing his look, Shen Shuyi felt even more distressed. She hugged his head and comforted him softly, "Be patient, the time is not up yet."
After saying that, Shen Shuyi turned to look at Qin Xin, wanting her to go and inform the Saint.
Xie Jingchi grabbed her hand and stopped her, saying, "It's no use calling for help now. This insect has been in my body for many years. Now it's been infected by the fragrance and has become agitated. That's why I feel pain."
Shen Shuyi nodded and stayed by his side to accompany him.
Time flies, Xie Jingchi lowered his eyes, his jawline was extremely tense, he had gone from being able to chat with Shen Shuyi at the beginning to being silent later.
Seeing that his lips were beginning to dry up, Shen Shuyi felt extremely anxious.
But unfortunately, she couldn't do anything.
This was probably the first time she felt so powerless after her rebirth. She just couldn't understand why the people of the Li clan wanted to put a curse on him?
Judging from what he said, the poison has definitely been in his body for quite some time. No one knows what kind of poison it is, but his life must have been difficult for so many years.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm with you." Shen Shuyi stroked his hair and comforted him softly.
At this moment, the saint girl of the Li tribe came back.
What was different from before was that this time, she also brought some spices and candles. After a while, the room was filled with a choking aroma, making Shen Shuyi feel dizzy and almost nauseous.
The saint of the Li clan carefully examined Xie Jingchi's pulse and said slowly, "As I expected, the poisonous insect in Master Xie's body has been in your body for a long time and will not come out easily, so I can only increase the efficacy of the medicine. I hope Master will forgive me."
Xie Jingchi's phoenix eyes were gloomy, and now had a faint scarlet color.
He glanced at the woman in front of him and said coldly, "It's okay, but if this poison can't be removed, then the Saint will be prepared to let the entire Li clan be buried with you!"
Those narrow eyes were filled with chilliness, causing the Li Saint to shiver uncontrollably.
"Thank you, sir, for your peace of mind. I will do my best. Besides, although this poison is difficult to remove, it is not impossible to remove it. It's just that the process will be more painful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Jingchi felt a sharp pain all over his body. His face was as pale as paper, without any blood.
"Xie Jingchi!" Shen Shuyi was a little anxious and held his big hand.
Xie Jingchi held her hand tightly, and his whole body began to tremble as if out of control.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were cold. He drew out the sword of Jianpo and placed it across the neck of the Saint. "What's wrong with him?"
The Saint's throat tightened, and she said, "Don't worry, Madam. This is a sign that the poisonous insect in his body is getting restless. It sensed the danger, so it's running around in his body. Therefore, this is a good time to lure it out.
'puff! '
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Jingchi spat out a mouthful of dark red blood, making his cold and handsome face look even paler.
The saint took out a dagger and cut Xie Jingchi's wrist. Then she picked up a few silver needles and sealed several tendons and veins in his body. Then she gave him several more injections based on his pulse.
By the time the acupuncture was finished, Shen Shuyi could already see beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down Xie Jingchi's head.
He clenched his hands into fists, clenched his teeth, and his eyelashes trembled, but he no longer cried out in pain like before, and instead remained silent.
The Li saint took out an exquisite incense burner and placed it on Xie Jingchi's wrist, as if to attract the poisonous insect out of his body.
Shen Shu saw that he looked painful, and after struggling for a moment, he held his face with both hands and lowered his head to kiss his thin lips.
"Don't bite." She said softly.
Xie Jingchi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the cold face in front of him.
Because his vision was blurry and the person in front of him was too close, he couldn't see clearly, but the softness and warmth made him realize very clearly that this time, he was no longer alone.
He didn't have to curl up in a corner and endure the heart-wrenching pain alone.
He also doesn't have to be alone and pretend nothing happened, for fear of being laughed at by others.
He doesn't have to be alone, afraid that no one will care if he sheds tears.
Shen Shuyi closed her eyes, kissed him tenderly, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, if it hurts, just cry or shout."
Xie Jingchi chuckled, took the initiative and kissed her cherry lips hard.
The saint had a blank expression on her face, her eyes fixed on the black poisonous insect sliding under the skin of Xie Jingchi's arm.
As the bell rang, the poisonous insect seemed to be guided. After some hesitation, it finally crawled out along the wound on his wrist.
As soon as the poisonous insect came out, it fell into the jar prepared by the saint.
Xie Jingchi only felt his whole body relax, as if something that had been weighing on his body was suddenly cleared away, and he felt an indescribable sense of lightness.
They both turned their heads and saw a fat poisonous insect in the jar, twisting restlessly.
Shen Shuyi frowned, finding it hard to believe that this thing had been in his body for so long.
"What kind of Gu is this?" Shen Shuyi asked.
The Saint was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "This is the golden silkworm Gu. It has little effect in the body at first, but as time goes by, it will gradually grow bigger and become more powerful."
Shen Shuyi frowned: "What's the use?"
"Golden Silkworm Gu is mostly used to control people to practice martial arts. Once the internal force is activated, it will cause unbearable pain." The saint spoke slowly.
"Do you know who put this poison in me?" Shen Shuyi frowned, and suddenly remembered that Xie Jingchi's pulse had always been strange.
The Saint was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Perhaps it is related to someone from the Li clan, but the poison has been in Lord Xie's body for a long time. I was still young at that time, so I am afraid I didn't know the inside story."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi did not ask any more questions.
But who would stop Xie Jingchi from practicing martial arts? And why would they do that?
Shen Shuyi only thought for a moment, then withdrew his thoughts and continued to ask: "So, is this poison considered to be solved?"
"It has been removed. The poison has been expelled from the body. However, the poison has been expelled so suddenly that Master Xie's body may be particularly weak. He will need to be carefully recuperated for some time."
"Thank you." Shen Shuyi said, turning and looking at Xie Jingchi.
At this time, Jiuchou and Li Ye came back with their men and said, "The Second Elder has been killed! His two sons were also killed, one was injured, but his son Xuzhe escaped and we were unable to find his whereabouts."
