Chapter 62: Sucking Poison with His Hand

  Wu Ming was taken aback at first, feeling that the reason was a bit far-fetched. But this being the world of martial arts, he couldn't apply the same logic as in the real world. Then it occurred to him that only men could take the poison for Wang Yu Yan, and his heart inexplicably felt a thrill of excitement. It seemed that from now on, he would have the chance to play the hero and rescue the beauty, and even get close to her.

  Of course, Wu Ming also knew that in ancient times, men and women did not have close relationships, so he definitely could not take the initiative to bring up this matter of drug addiction, or else people would think he was taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

  Abi was hesitant and suspicious, thinking that Old Man Chen's words were very strange, but after some thought, it wasn't entirely unreasonable. If the other party was telling the truth, and the girl really couldn't be sucked in, then recklessly going to suck her in would put Wang Yuyan's life at risk, she didn't dare take this risk.

  Then Abi put down Wang Yu Yan's arm and couldn't help but ask: "Elder Chen, is what you said true?"

  Old Chen said with a hint of annoyance: "Of course it's true, little girl, did you think I was trying to deceive you?"

  At this time, only Bao Da heard: "Not necessarily, not necessarily, who knows what you think in your heart, old beggar. Ah Bi, don't listen to his nonsense, hurry up and help Wang Niang absorb the poison."

  Abi heard Bao say something different and was stunned, unsure of what to do.

  Although Feng Bo was as good at fighting as his life, he was more cautious in some aspects than Bao. At this time, he couldn't help but say: "Third brother, don't be rash. Ah Bi, wait a moment before acting."

  A'Zhu also said: "Third brother, I think what Old Man Chen said is not unreasonable. We'd better be careful."

  At this time, only Old Man Chen coldly laughed again and said: "You don't believe it yourself, if something happens to this girl later on and she gets hurt or loses her life, then don't blame me for not warning you beforehand. Also, the scorpion venom is extremely potent, absolutely cannot be delayed, you all see to it yourselves." After finishing speaking, he flung his sleeve and strode off to one side, no longer paying them any mind.

  Different people have different personalities, and some like to lift the rod with others. The words just now were actually a habit, after being persuaded by Feng Po and Ah Zhu, plus Chen Lao's cold smile, he also understood that his previous words were inappropriate in many ways. If something happened to Wang Niang, he would not be able to escape responsibility, so he reluctantly said: "Let's believe him this once."

  "Uh-huh." Abi nodded slightly, knowing that delaying was not an option, and looked at Wu Ming, saying softly: "Wu Gongzi, trouble you to give Wang Gu Niang the antidote."

  Wu Ming's heart secretly rejoiced, just as he was about to agree, but Bao Butong shook his head and said: "Ah Bi, this is extremely improper. Wang Gongzhu is still a chaste and virtuous lady, how can Wu Gongzi take her place in smoking opium?"

  In the Song Dynasty, the etiquette for men and women was very strict. So, Ah Bi chose Wu Ming first instead of Feng Bo E and Bao Bu Tong, she naturally had her own considerations.

  Wang Yuyan secretly pines for the young master's heart, and everyone around him is well aware of it. Ah Bi, as Murong Fu's maid, is even more familiar with the relationship between the two.

  She knew that her own young master did not love Wang Xiang, and adding to the fact that Madam Wang would absolutely not agree to their marriage, it was impossible for the two of them to be together in the future.

  This time, the drug addiction, although it was a cause-and-effect event, damaged Wang Yuyan's reputation and innocence. To preserve the girl's family reputation, it was necessary to have the two confirm their relationship. However, Bao Difang, who is ugly and already has a family, is clearly not suitable. Only Wu Ming, who is handsome and young, is the best candidate.

  Upon hearing Bao's differing opinions, Ah Bi furrowed her brow and said: "If Master Wu won't do it, then who will take the poison?"

  "This... " Mu Rong Fu was stunned on the spot, in his opinion, a drug addict should not be someone like him, but Mu Rong Fu was not here, it was useless to call out for him, and if he were to take the drug himself, it would be even more inappropriate.

  At this time, A Zhu frowned and said: "Third brother, Wang's breath is getting weaker and weaker, can't take care of so much, I think let Wu Gongzi replace her to absorb the poison."

  Feng Bo said: "A Zhu's words are right, saving Wang Niang's life is urgent. Third brother, don't oppose it anymore."

  Knowing that time cannot be delayed, Wu Xie let out a soft sigh and glanced at Wu Ming, saying, "It can't be helped."

  When Wu Ming previously spoke out against the package, he was already very uncomfortable. Now seeing that his opponent's expression seemed to be taking advantage of him, he became even more angry.

  Although he used to think that getting high with a beauty was a very rewarding thing, it's impossible to say that there was no repulsion at all. After all, no matter how beautiful the person is, the toxic liquid emitted after poisoning is also emitting a strong stench. Who would be willing to take it if not for deep love? And after taking it, you'll end up with a reputation for taking advantage of others.

  At least in Wu Ming's heart, Wang Yu Yan was still far from reaching the point where he would be willing to pay everything for her. If it weren't for the initial task, Wu Ming might not have even gone after the opportunity that originally belonged to Duan Yu.

  With a slight pause in his mind, Wu Ming suddenly had an unusual idea. Why use his mouth to suck out the toxic blood near Wang Yu's wound? He himself possessed the Ling Kong She Wai palm technique, which had a much stronger suction power than his mouth. What was the point of taking such an inexplicable advantage?

  Moreover, taking advantage of this situation for oneself is likely to be suspected of being opportunistic. In the future, Wang Yu Yan's heart may also have objections. Since we want to make the beauty return to her senses, then we must let her do so wholeheartedly.

  "Alright, let's just do it."

  After making up his mind, Wu Ming didn't show any expression, but just smiled faintly and nodded. He immediately moved the palm of his hand that was pressed against Wang Yu Yan's back to her injured wrist, and began to absorb the toxic blood with his Ling Kong Sao Shou technique.

  "Ah Bi looked back in great surprise and said: 'Wu Gongzi, didn't Old Man Chen tell you to take the drug? Why are you using your hand?'"

  "Abi sister, don't worry, I can also absorb the toxic blood from Wang Gongzhu's body with my hand." Wu Ming replied calmly, but his hands didn't stop, slowly leaving Wang Yuyan's wrist, and the absorbed toxic blood floated in mid-air between Wu Ming's palm and Wang Yuyan's wrist, emitting a foul odor.

  Everyone discovered this strange phenomenon, amazed and astonished. Qiao Feng's martial arts were strong, and he was knowledgeable and experienced, knowing that this should be a profound martial art. In his heart, he admired Wu Ming, his third brother, even more.

  As Wu Ming's palm rose higher and higher, the gap grew larger and larger, and the amount of toxic blood sucked out also increased, all gathering in the gap between them. Meanwhile, the toxic blood from Wang Yu Yan's wrist wound continued to flow endlessly like a fountain, shooting towards this cluster of gathered toxic blood.

  Before long, the poisonous blood spouting from Wang Yu's wound changed from black to normal red. Wu Ming felt that it was almost done and cut off the suction force on the wound. His wrist suddenly flipped over, and then a palm struck out. The black substance emitting a pungent odor was instantly electrocuted and fell onto an apricot tree nearby. The black blood beads fell onto the apricot blossoms, which withered in no time, showing how potent the scorpion venom was.

  Everyone was amazed to see Wu Ming sucking out the poison, and Wang Yu Yan, although her body had gone soft and she couldn't speak, had heard the previous conversations of the crowd clearly. She felt even more grateful for what Wu Ming had done.

  To be honest, when Old Man Chen mentioned that only a man could take the poison for her, she first thought of her own cousin, but then realized he wasn't here and couldn't do it for her. Then, for some unknown reason, she thought of Wu Ming.

  It was just that thinking of drug addiction made Wang Yuyan's skin crawl, and she still felt quite resistant to it at the time, even though she had a good impression of him.

  However, when Wu Ming gave up using his mouth and instead used his hand to help her take the drug, avoiding intimate contact, Wang Yu Yan's heart felt a sense of loss for no reason, feeling that he didn't seem to care about her as much. This was in line with an ancient saying: "It is difficult to deal with petty people and women; if you are close to them, they become insolent, but if you keep your distance, they become resentful."

  Of course, the thought that flashed through Wang Yu's mind was only a flash in the pan, and she couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed. What was wrong with her? The other person had clearly helped her preserve her innocence, so why did she still feel a sense of loss? Was it because deep down, she actually hoped the other person would use that shameful method? No... absolutely not!

  Wang Yu Yan secretly shook her head in denial, her heart was a mess, she didn't know what was wrong with herself, ever since she met Wu Ming, her feelings seemed to have undergone a subtle change.
