Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

The forest was silent at night, with only faint moonlight filtering through the leaves and casting shadows on the ground. Shen Yanchu was walking alone in the forest when suddenly he heard a cry for help.

The voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet night, and Shen Yanchu immediately stopped and listened carefully. He recognized it as Miss Shi's voice, and his heart tightened; something must have happened to her.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Yanchu immediately gave chase upon hearing the sound. He circulated his internal energy and used his lightness skill to its fullest extent, his figure moving like a ghost through the forest.

He had only one thought in his mind: to find Miss Shi as soon as possible and ensure her safety.

The forest was dense with trees and the roads were rugged, but this did not hinder Shen Yanchu's speed. Relying on his excellent lightness skills and keen hearing, he continued to move closer to the direction of the cries for help.

Finally, Shen Yanchu spotted Miss Shi. She was leaning against a large tree, and he immediately flew to her side.

Looking her over, I noticed that she was pale and had a tooth mark on her leg, but there was no black poison on the surrounding skin. There was also some bruising on the ground, which suggested that she had squeezed out the poisoned blood immediately.

Shen Yanchu immediately took her hand to check her pulse. He was so flustered and worried that he didn't even notice it himself.

"Miss Shi, Miss Shi"

Shen Yanchu checked her pulse. She had cleared most of the toxins out immediately, but a trace of residual poison had entered her body, causing her to fall into a coma.

Shen Yanchu gently picked her up horizontally. Since he himself had not yet recovered, he had to take a few steps back to steady himself. Shen Yanchu carried her and ran quickly back to the cave.

Cui Yu'an was adding firewood when he noticed Shen Yanchu carrying the girl back. Could it be that they were really in danger? Shen Yanchu placed the girl directly on the straw mat. Just as he was about to go forward, Shen Yanchu interrupted him.

"Wenzhu, go fetch some water. Miss Shi has been bitten by a poisonous snake. Although she cleared the poison immediately, some residual poison has still entered her internal organs. Go quickly."

Shen Yanchu was trembling with anxiety, her mind in complete turmoil. Cui Yu'an hadn't expected the girl to be poisoned by snake venom, so he immediately went to get a basin of water and brought it to Shen Yanchu.

Shen Yanchu wrung out the towel, lifted the blanket, and gently wiped her wound with the towel. Cui Yu'an also turned away discreetly, avoiding looking.

Shi Wanxia lay quietly in Shen Yanchu's arms, her face as pale as paper, her breath so faint it was almost imperceptible. Shen Yanchu's heart felt as if it had been pierced by a thousand arrows, the pain unbearable. He held her tightly, as if if he let go, she would leave him forever.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his internal energy to expel the toxins from her body. His internal energy flowed continuously into her body, attempting to force out the deadly toxins.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he dared not relax for a moment, because he knew that this was her only chance of survival.

Time passed second by second, and Shen Yanchu's internal energy was gradually being depleted. His face grew paler and paler, but his eyes remained resolute.

Finally, he felt the toxins in her body begin to loosen, and he was overjoyed, so he circulated his energy even more vigorously.

As the last trace of toxin was expelled, Shi Wanxia's complexion finally regained a rosy hue. Shen Yanchu breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed wearily to the ground.

He looked at her, his eyes filled with anxiety and worry. He knew she was out of danger, but he was still uneasy. He would need to find some antidote for snake venom tomorrow, and it wouldn't be easy to find them at night. Shen Yanchu put her down and sighed deeply.

"Wenzhu, you should go to sleep early. I'll stay with Miss Shi tonight, and tomorrow you'll come with me to find herbs to cure the poison."

Cui Yu'an nodded, his gaze lingering between the girl and Shen Yanchu. This guy really has his eye on this girl!

Thinking that it would be pointless to persuade him, and that she herself had not yet recovered, she got up to rest. But then she stopped and reminded him, "You should also take care of yourself and rest, Zhizhou. This relationship with Miss Shi won't lead anywhere. Your family won't accept a woman of unknown origin and status." With that, she yawned and lay back down on the straw mat to rest.

Shen Yanchu quietly stayed by her side, his eyes full of concern and worry.

He would occasionally extend his fingers and gently place them on her pulse, feeling her heartbeat, while carefully measuring her body temperature with his hand.

As time ticked by, Shen Yanchu grew increasingly anxious.

Finally, around midnight, her body temperature began to gradually decrease. Shen Yanchu breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile appearing on his tired face. Gazing at her peaceful sleeping face, his heart was filled with tenderness.

When Cui Yu'an woke up, Shen Yanchu was sitting by the fire, warming up the fish soup from last night. Cui Yu'an sensibly sat down next to him, picked up the bowl and started drinking. After the two finished breakfast, they took a basket and a knife and set off to find medicinal herbs.

In search of an antidote for snake venom, Shen Yanchu and Cui Yu'an entered the mountains early in the morning. They searched carefully in the forest, but to no avail.

Around noon, Cui Yu'an discovered a patch of medicinal herbs in a secluded valley. After identification, they confirmed it was the legendary antidote for snake venom. Shen Yanchu carefully picked some, and he was also very happy, knowing that with the antidote, Miss Shi would soon wake up. The two immediately took the herbs and hurried back to the cave.

Shen Yanchu prepared the herbs and immediately put them in a pot to boil. About an hour later, Shen Yanchu gave her the detoxifying medicine.

Looking outside, it was still early. We should go hunt for a deer or roe deer, otherwise we won't have anything to eat tonight.

"Wenzhu, let's go. Your injuries have healed a bit. Come with me hunting, otherwise we'll have nothing to eat tonight. Do we, two grown men, have to rely on this frail woman, Miss Shi? She's been afflicted by snake venom, and even after she's been cured, she'll need to rest for a few days. Let's go!"

Cui Yu'an nodded and followed Shen Yanchu out of the cave.

In the thorny valley, Shen Yanchu's throwing knife once hit a roe deer, and the two of them lay on the ground and rested for a long time before recovering their strength.

Cui Yu'an took the dagger he carried with him and cleaned the roe deer on the spot, putting the meat into a basket. The roe deer was not small, but he and Shen Yanchu were experiencing surging blood and qi, and they had to sit down and meditate to regulate their breathing for a while to suppress it.

"Alright, let's go back. I'm a little worried about Miss Shi being alone in the cave."

Shen Yanchu staggered to his feet, helped Cui Yu'an up as well, and struggled to make his way to the cave with the basket in hand.

When Shi Wanxia woke up, she was in unbearable pain all over her body, and there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine in her mouth and the cave. She searched around but could not find Shen Yanchu and the others.

Where did those two go? Shi Wanxia was in unbearable pain all over her body. Just as she was about to get up, Shen Yanchu and Cui Yu'an returned carrying a basket of meat. Cui Yu'an was very happy to see the girl awake.

"Miss Shi, you're awake. How are you feeling? You scared us to death last night. It's good that you're awake now." Shi Wanxia could feel the smile on Cui Yu'an's face.
