Qiao Wanwan gently patted the back of Li Xiangyi's hand, signaling him to stay calm.

She turned around, faced Monk Wu Liao, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master. It seems that your Sanskrit skills have improved a lot."

Monk Wu Liao waved his hand and said, "Donor Qiao, please stop complimenting me. Tell me how to resolve the poison in this green tea. If you're any later, I'm afraid that Li will tear my place down."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Wanwan smiled apologetically and said, "It's actually not that complicated. Do you still remember the internal energy method I practiced?"

"Ming Yu Gong?" Li Xiangyi blurted out.

"Yes, it's the Mingyu Gong." Qiao Wanwan nodded. "I have cultivated the Mingyu Gong to the peak of the seventh level. My vitality has been greatly improved. It is relatively easy to fight against the green tea poison."

"Also, as long as I can break through to the eighth level, my internal energy will be endless, and the green tea poison will have no effect on me."

"With my medical skills, I should be able to develop an antidote in a few years. So, you really don't have to worry about me."

After listening to this, Monk Wu Liao nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's good that Donor Qiao is aware of this. Actually, I'm more interested in how you transferred the poison from Li the Kid to yourself."

When Qiao Wanwan heard this, her originally fair cheeks instantly turned red.

She shyly took Li Xiangyi's hand, turned around and walked away. As she walked, she turned back and said to Monk Wu Liao, "This is a secret. I can't tell you. Even if I tell you, you can't do it."

Back at the villa, Li Xiangyi hugged Qiao Wanwan tightly, as if she would disappear if he let go.

"Wanwan, you scared me to death. I won't allow you to do such dangerous things again, not even for my sake." There was a hint of fear and blame in his voice, but more of it was deep love and worry.

He paused and asked, "Really... is it that simple? Ranran, tell me the truth, okay?"

Qiao Wanwan looked into Li Xiangyi's eyes, filled with concern, and smiled awkwardly. She knew that this extremely intelligent man couldn't hide anything from him. "Well, there are still a few... sequelae."

"What sequelae?" Li Xiangyi's heart suddenly rose to his throat. He stared at Qiao Wanwan nervously, afraid that he would hear some bad news from her.

"That's it..." Qiao Wanwan's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito. "Although my Mingyu Gong can temporarily suppress the poison of the green tea, it can't completely eliminate it."

"Also, because I forcibly transferred the toxins in your body to myself, my meridians were damaged. It will take some time to recover."

"Then...then your body..." Li Xiangyi's voice trembled. He couldn't imagine how much Qiao Wanwan had paid to save him.

"Don't worry, Xiangyi, I'm fine." Qiao Wanwan raised her head and gave Li Xiangyi a reassuring smile.

"I just need to rest for a while and not use force. Besides, this period of time is just right for me to concentrate on researching the antidote."

What Qiao Wanwan didn't say was how long this period of time would take.

"But..." Li Xiangyi was still worried. He held Qiao Wanwan's hand tightly, as if he could pass his strength to her.

"No buts." Qiao Wanwan interrupted Li Xiangyi. "Xiangyi, believe me, I'm really fine. Besides, have you forgotten that I'm the 'Medical Immortal'? How could I let anything happen to me?"

"Medical Fairy" is the respectful title given to Qiao Wanwan by people in the martial arts world because of her superb medical skills that can almost bring the dead back to life.

Li Xiangyi knew that Qiao Wanwan's medical skills were indeed very impressive, but he was still worried about her health.

"Wanwan, promise me that you will take good care of yourself, okay?" Li Xiangyi's voice was full of pleading.

"Well, I promise you." Qiao Wanwan nodded, "I will definitely take good care of myself, because I still want to travel to the ends of the earth with you."

"Okay, it's a deal." A smile finally appeared on Li Xiangyi's face.

Li Xiangyi listened to Qiao Wanwan's light-hearted explanation, but his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain made him almost unable to breathe.

He couldn't imagine that the woman who was usually lively and smart and had great martial arts skills would now become a "useless person" who was powerless and even needed to sleep all the time to stay alive because of him.

"Wanwan, you... why are you so stupid?" Li Xiangyi's voice choked with sobs. He hugged Qiao Wanwan tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood. "Do you know that if you do this, I will be heartbroken!"

Qiao Wanwan felt Li Xiangyi's trembling body and felt a pang of pain in her heart.

She patted Li Xiangyi's back gently and said softly, "Xiangyi, don't be afraid, I'm really fine. Besides, I still have you. You will protect me, right?"

"Wanwan, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I've implicated you..." His voice was choked, and tears silently slid down and dripped onto Qiao Wanwan's shoulder.

Qiao Wanwan felt Li Xiangyi's trembling and the warmth of his tears, and her heart ached.

She patted his back gently and said softly, "Silly boy, what are you talking about? How can I blame you? This is my own choice. It has nothing to do with you."

"But..." Li Xiangyi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qiao Wanwan.

"No buts." Qiao Wanwan's tone was gentle but firm. "Xiangyi, listen to me. The reason I did this was not just to save you, but also because... I love you."

"I can't bear to watch you suffer from the poison of Bicha, and I can't imagine life without you. So, no matter how great the price, I am willing to pay."

"Bannan..." Li Xiangyi's eyes moistened, and he hugged Qiao Wannan tighter. "What have I done to deserve you to do this for me?"

"Silly, what are you talking about?" Qiao Wanwan smiled, tears glistening in her eyes. "Love doesn't care about gains or losses. As long as I can be with you, I think everything is worth it."

"Banban..." Li Xiangyi's voice was completely hoarse. He lowered his head and kissed Qiao Wanban's lips deeply. This kiss was full of gratitude, guilt, heartache and endless love.

After a long time, their lips parted. Li Xiangyi looked at Qiao Wanwan's cheek, which was slightly red due to lack of oxygen, and a strong desire to protect her surged in his heart.

He secretly vowed to find a way to break the poison of the green tea as soon as possible so that Qiao Wanwan could recover her health and no longer suffer from the toxin.

"Don't worry, Hanhan, I will definitely find the antidote." Li Xiangyi's eyes were firm and persistent. "I won't let anything happen to you, absolutely not!"

"Well, I believe you." Qiao Wanwan nodded and leaned tightly in Li Xiangyi's arms.

At this moment, Li Xiangyi suddenly remembered something. A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he asked anxiously:

"Hanhan, it suddenly occurred to me that my Yangzhou Man might be able to suppress the green tea poison in your body just like the Mingyu Gong! What do you think?"

Li Xiangyi was overjoyed when he heard this. He continued to practice Yangzhou Mantra, transferring more internal energy to Qiao Wanwan.

As time went by, Qiao Wanwan's complexion gradually became rosy, and her breathing became much more stable. The green tea poison in her body seemed to be suppressed by Yangzhou Man's internal energy.
