“Brother Si Chen, elder sister was frightened just now. Since you’re here, why not keep her company” Xiao Yu Ge finished speaking and turned to bow slightly to the elder couple of the Xiao family: “Father, mother, daughter is tired and wants to rest for a while.” She didn't dare to look at him for too long; she was afraid she couldn't control herself and kill him!
"Alright, Ge'er, you still have wounds and can't catch the wind, go inside quickly." Madam Xiao instructed Qing Luo to help Xiao Yuge into the room to rest.
The moment she stepped through the door, Xiao Yuge's hand slowly clenched. Her enemy was right in front of her, but she couldn't kill him. She hated it so much!
Looking at Qian Si Chen and Xiao Yu Fu's disappearing figures, a coldness flashed in her eyes: Bai Yueguang Enjoy this sweet time now, because the next thing coming is her revenge.
After separating from Qingluo, she tried to meditate and cultivate her qi, but she couldn't raise even a sliver of inner strength. She suddenly remembered that at this time, she didn't have any martial arts skills. In her past life, she had almost risked her life to obtain inner strength in order to help Qian Sichen clear obstacles. But the pain she endured that night in Qianji Pavilion was so intense that even thinking about it now sent shivers down her spine. She unconsciously clenched her fist.
The Lotus Flower Festival was approaching soon. What had happened that day was enough to ruin her life, so she had to have martial arts skills to protect herself. She thought for a moment, wrote out an entire prescription and asked Qing Luo to pick it up. This kind of injury wasn't anything serious. With the medicine she prescribed, she could recover quickly. Besides, some medicines needed to be prepared in advance, just in case.
It was night.
"Miss, you still have wounds on your body. It's so late, where are you going" Qing Luo looked at the Miss who had already changed into her night clothes, his face full of worry.

"Qingluo, don't make a sound! I have something to go out for, you stay here and pretend to be me. Remember, no matter who comes, don't open the door, just say that I'm already asleep, understand" Xiaoyu knew that in this house, the only person she could trust was Qingluo.

"Understood, Miss. Please be careful." Qing Luo knew she couldn't stop the Miss from doing what she wanted to do, so she would just do what the Miss had instructed her to do.
Xiao Yu Ge tucked some medicinal herbs into her clothes and quietly slipped out. Relying on her past life's memories, she searched for Qian Ji Ge. There was almost a year left before the events of her past life took place, but she couldn't wait that long.
Ahead, a figure seemed to be approaching this way. The air was thick with the stench of blood and a heavy sense of killing intent. She instinctively ducked into the nearby bushes, thinking to herself: "Could it be that unlucky Just stepped out and ran into a murder"

Luckily, those people left soon after their search proved fruitless. She only stood up and patted her chest when all that could be heard outside was the sound of wind rustling through the grass.
Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, a sudden tightening sensation gripped her throat. A large hand clamped onto her neck from behind. She gasped in alarm, her instincts screaming for survival as she struggled desperately, but the hand held her fast, leaving her utterly helpless.
At that moment, a cold voice came from behind him: "Don't move, or you're dead!"
Xiao Yuge obediently stopped struggling, sniffed, and frowned slightly: "Are you injured" As soon as she spoke, the hand on her throat tightened. She hurriedly said, "I know medicine, I can save you!" The killing intent from behind made her realize that if she angered the person behind her, she would be strangled to death immediately!
"Uh!" The man behind her suddenly groaned and fell to the ground.
And as a feeling of release surged through him, the carefree Xiao Yu under the song instinctively dodged, turning around, almost in one breath!
Under the moonlight, a tall man lay on the ground. His chest was stained with blood, clearly wounded. At this moment, Xiao Yu Ge didn't want to get involved, but she wasn't sure if the man would suddenly attack her, so she gritted her teeth and cautiously approached him.
What are you doing
A man suddenly grabbed her hand. He wore a demon mask, concealing his features, but the eyes that peeked through were like shards of ice, chilling her to the bone. His lower body seemed immobile, yet Xiao Yuge knew that if he harbored murderous intent right now, killing her would be a mere matter of moments.

“I meant no harm, I understand medicine, I can treat your wounds.” Xiao Yu Ge eagerly expressed that she had no ill intentions. Seeing that the man didn't object, she swallowed nervously and forcefully withdrew her hand. After hesitating for a moment, she carefully pulled open his clothes.
A serpent-shaped weapon was deeply embedded in the man's left chest. The dark green blood oozing out indicated that the weapon was poisoned, and it was a powerful poison.
“This is the venom of the Crimson Flame Snake from the Northern Desert. Within half an hour of being poisoned, if there is no antidote, one will become stiff all over, unable to even swallow. The toxin burns within the body like flames, until it consumes all five viscera and six bowels, leading to death! Consider yourself lucky, I just happen to be able to cure this poison.” Xiao Yuge frowned secretly, how could she be unfamiliar with this poison In her past life, she had been poisoned by it.
The man wanted to say something, but his tongue felt stiff and he couldn't utter a word. It seemed she was right; his whole body had started to stiffen, like there was a raging fire burning inside him. He never expected to end up in this situation, humiliated in the gutter. He had been careless!
Xiao Yu Ge took out the medicine she always carried with her. Luckily, she was prepared, but she didn't expect to use it this soon.
She knew the man couldn't swallow this now, and sighed helplessly: "Let me state it first, I didn't mean to see your face. You can't silence me just because of this." Usually people who wear masks get killed after someone sees their faces. As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes cautiously taking off the man's mask. When she saw his face, she couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes in surprise.
Wow! This man is so handsome! He looks like a dashing young lord stepped out of a painting. It's no wonder he wears a mask, otherwise, he'd be swarmed with admirers.
"A doctor sees no gender, so consider this a debt owed to me!" Xiao Yuge frowned slightly, thought for a moment, lifted the corner of her veil, and placed the medicine in her own mouth. Then she leaned down and fed it into the man's mouth by mouth-to-mouth.
The moment their lips met, the man's eyes widened. He wasn't sure if he was stunned by her action or something else entirely.
"So that's what a man's mouth feels like..." She mumbled, her tongue instinctively flicking out, after finally getting all the medicine down. Raising her eyes, she saw the strange look he was giving her, and hurriedly averted her gaze.
Time was of the essence, so after drawing the concealed weapon, she first swallowed a detoxification pill for her own safety. Then she sucked the poisoned blood out of him. To be honest, it was quite awkward, because the hidden weapon was right below the man's 'flower'. The moment she took a sip, the man couldn't help but groan softly and instinctively closed his eyes. He was paralyzed, but he could still feel it.amp with sweat.The old woman anxiously glanced outside again and again, but her eyes returned to disappointment.Seeing the woman's condition worsen, Xiao Yuge also grew anxious. Thinking quickly, she...
