Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

When Yang Jianwu and the others arrived at Huashuiyuefang, Qingdai had already led people into the private room numbered Earth.

Lu Qiao looked at Yang Jianwu cautiously, her face showing guilt, and briefly explained what had happened.

"The sword dance, using the plum drink brewing method to attract the King of Qi, was my idea. If you're angry, then..."

"You did very well!"

Yang Jianwu gently patted Lu Qiao's hand twice and smiled, "Relax, people are more important than anything else. Things that can be solved with money aren't really problems. Besides, money is the last thing I lack!"

Lu Qiao held Yang Jianwu's hand tightly, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

A single recipe can feed several generations, which means it's not considered a treasure in Jianwu's case.

"Thank you, Sword Dance."

"Okay, don't be so polite with me."

Yang Jianwu waved her hand, "Let's go check on Dan Niang first. Li Ge should have already brought her out of the private room."

"it is good."

Lu Qiao nodded and walked with Yang Jianwu toward the direction where Dan Niang was.

*

On the bed, Dan Niang's fair skin was flushed with an unnatural redness, like a ripe peach, tempting one to pluck it.

A light sheen of sweat glistened on her forehead, mingling with a few stray hairs at her temples, as her slender fingers unconsciously tugged at the embroidered curtains.

A faint fragrance could be seen wafting between her brows—the scent of eyebrow powder combined with incense.

Dan Niang let out a few intermittent gasps from her lips, as if resisting or welcoming a kind of bone-melting numbness.

Li Ming kept wiping Dan Niang's forehead with a cool towel, his heart filled with anxiety and turmoil.

Why hasn't Master come in yet?

Since Li Ge couldn't wipe Dan Niang's face, he helped wash the handkerchiefs from the side.

"Miss Lu needs to explain the situation to her master; it should be soon."

I wonder if my master will lash out at Miss Lu after he finds out that the plum drink recipe is being used as a reward. I should probably just stand by and watch the show.

Dan Niang suddenly curled up, her fingertips gripping the bed sheet tightly, and sweat poured down her forehead as she tried her best to suppress the rising heat.

"Dan Niang, just bear with it a little longer, the master has arrived."

Seeing Dan Niang's eyes gradually glaze over, Li Ming wished he could take her place. Wasn't the eyebrow powder his master made only effective for men? Why did Dan Niang's condition seem like she was being treated with traditional Chinese medicine?

Thinking of this, Li Ming became increasingly suspicious. He quickly grabbed Dan Niang's wrist, feeling her alarmingly fast pulse!

Li Ming dared not delay. He gripped Dan Niang's shoulders tightly, forcing her to look at him, and anxiously cried out, "Dan Niang, look at me! It's me, Li Ming! Wake up!!"

However, Dan Niang's consciousness was already blurred, and the only thing she remembered was revenge.

However, after drinking with the King of Qi, he felt unwell and unable to exert any strength, making it impossible for him to administer the poison.

Since the plan couldn't be carried out, and she couldn't bear to be humiliated in vain, driven by instinct, she forcefully pushed Li Ming away and shouted angrily, "Get out!!"

Li Ming, "..."

Waaaaah~ Even though I know it wasn't Dan Niang's intention, I'm still so sad.

During the shoving, Dan Niang's clothes slipped down, revealing her snow-white undergarment half-open and her violently heaving breasts partially hidden.

"Um?!"

Li Ge's eyes widened, thinking he was hallucinating. He tried to see more clearly, but then he was kicked hard in the leg.

"Ouch~"

Li Ge winced in pain, instantly snapping back to his senses. He took off running towards the door, shouting, "Um, I'll go see if Master has arrived yet!"

My God, if we don't run now, we'll lose our brotherhood.

Li Ge, blinded by his own thoughts, rushed forward and bumped right into Yang Jianwu and the others who had just arrived at the door.

"Snapped--"

Yang Jianwu originally wanted to reach out and block Li Ge, but her hand slipped and rose too high, her palm directly hitting Li Ge's face, leaving a bright red handprint.

"Ouch!"

Li Ge inwardly wailed, "What sins have I committed?!"

Hehe, sorry~

Yang Jianwu withdrew her hand apologetically, the thought of striking her head-on was exhilarating.

"Master, come quickly and see Dan Niang!"

Hearing the noise at the door, Li Ming finally felt a sense of security. With his master here, nothing else mattered.

Yang Jianwu hurried to the bedside. Before he could even take her pulse, the system automatically started announcing a list of names, which together indicated a potent aphrodisiac.

"Dan Niang has taken the medicine!"

Li Ming exclaimed, "That was close!"

Fortunately, they arrived in time. Dan Niang was almost violated by Prince Qi. After feeling relieved, she began to complain to Yang Jianwu, "Master, didn't you say that the effects of the eyebrow powder and incense only worked on men? Now that Dan Niang is in this state, you have to take responsibility."

Yang Jianwu rolled her eyes at Li Ming. He's usually quite smart, so why is he acting so stupid today...

First they cried and begged her to come and save them, then they demanded she take responsibility?!

How can she take responsibility?! A woman?!

Pah!

"You idiot! Dan Niang is a Chinese medicine!! What does that have to do with me!"

Yang Jianwu took out the silver needles she carried with her and used them to relieve Dan Niang's discomfort.

"what?!"

Li Ming was momentarily stunned. Dan Niang had been drugged?!

Could it be that eyebrow powder is effective for women too?!

"Master, you..."

"You idiot! If you can't understand me, then get lost!"

"Oh……"

Li Ming watched as the thin silver needles pierced Dan Niang's body, and then felt another pang of heartache as he turned away.

"master……"

"explain."

"Don't you have the Flame Ice Pill? A single pill can solve the problem, why make things so complicated?"

Yang Jianwu patiently explained, "The eyebrow powder that Dan Niang used clashes with two ingredients in the Yanbing Pill, and using it will harm your health."

"Wouldn't it be better to just remove those two ingredients from the Flame Ice Pill?"

Li Ming failed to notice Yang Jianwu's death stare and continued to court death on the edge of life and death.

"With two ingredients missing, the rest are mostly for refreshing the mind and improving concentration, so the effect shouldn't be too bad."

Yang Jianwu's temples throbbed as he suppressed the urge to kick Li Ming away.

The Flame Ice Pill is a finished product; why remove two ingredients? What was he thinking?! Did he intend to scoop it out bit by bit from the pill ball?!

Songyin was definitely Yang Jianwu's most considerate maid. As if sensing what she was thinking, she directly grabbed her and shoved her to the door.

Before Li Ming could react, the door had already closed from the inside...

*

A quarter of an hour later, Dan Niang felt as if she had been washed clean and regained consciousness. She saw Yang Jianwu removing the needles.

It's obvious without asking that it was her master who saved her.

"Thank you, Master."

"Do you still feel hot?"

Dan Niang shook her head, feeling a surge of anger as she thought of the great revenge she had not yet taken.

"Master, how do I know Chinese medicine?"

"Some of the medicines you were given were potent; it must have been the work of the King of Qi."

Dan Niang bit her lower lip tightly. She was so close to getting revenge, why...?

"Why do good people go unpunished while evil ones live for thousands of years?"

Yang Jianwu wiped the sweat from Dan Niang's forehead. "It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. King Qi won't be able to keep jumping around for much longer."

"master?"

Dan Niang's expectant eyes lit up. If her master could say that, he must have made preparations!

Trust your master!
