Chapter 369

Zu An was speechless. This dignified divine doctor spent his days either looking for suggestive novels or aphrodisiacs, and Zu An felt ashamed for him.

"You brat, why are you looking at me like that?" Noticing his expression, Ji Dengtu looked at him warily.

Knowing better than to antagonize him, Zu An immediately put on a smile. "My admiration for you, Senior, is like a mighty river, unending and overflowing like the Mingyue River, an uncontrollable torrent."

Ji Dengtu stroked his chin beard, looking satisfied. "Not bad, not bad. You have a bright future, just as I expected."

Zu An chuckled inwardly, but still asked, "By the way, since you and Madam are old friends, can you help her deal with those two traitors, Hong Zhong and Chu Tiesheng? Also, you could get the 'Bull's Milk' from Chu Tiesheng."

"Idiot!" Ji Dengtu said disdainfully. "Do you think I'm stupid? I'm hoping these two completely overthrow the Chu family, preferably ruining Chu Zhongtian as well. That way, Wanru will be helpless, and won't it be easier for me to take advantage... *cough cough*... easier to take care of her?"

Zu An: "..."

What you said made so much sense that Zu An was speechless.

Ji Dengtu patted his head. "Right, where was I? Oh, the 'Bull's Milk' is rare, but the 'Eighteen Degrees of Spring Breeze' is even rarer. It's a more mysterious and precious drug. 'Bull's Milk' actually has an antidote, but if someone is poisoned with 'Eighteen Degrees of Spring Breeze,' there's no other cure except for sexual intercourse eighteen times."

"Unless the poisoning is very recent and still mild, there is a way to solve it. I taught Xiao Xi," Ji Dengtu said, his face showing worry. "But I hope she never encounters it, because if someone administers this drug, they wouldn't use a light dose."

Zu An's expression was strange. No wonder Ji Xiao Xi was able to cure it last time; she had already learned it from her father.

Ji Dengtu was indeed impressive; he could even cure this. But then Zu An thought of his lewd behavior just now... a typical case of talent without virtue.

"If you ever get any information about this drug, let me know. I'd pay a high price for it," Ji Dengtu said. It was clear to him that Zu An could not possibly possess such a rare medicine, nor even information about it. He had just mentioned it on a whim, without any real expectation.

Zu An's expression was odd. He happened to have this very drug in his possession. However, to maintain world peace and protect the virtue of the good women in Mingyue City, he absolutely could not give it to him.

At the same time, he was curious that Ji Xiao Xi had never mentioned to her father that she had the 'Eighteen Degrees of Spring Breeze.' It seemed the young girl was probably too shy to discuss such matters with her father.

Thinking of Ji Xiao Xi's soft and adorable appearance, he suddenly felt a certain stiffness throughout his body.

Shaking his head, he found it strange how easily his mind wandered today. He quickly composed himself and continued chatting with Ji Dengtu, as time unknowingly passed.

With a creak, the door opened from the inside. Ji Xiao Xi stepped out.

Zu An quickly stood up and took Ji Xiao Xi's hands. "Xiao Xi, how is it?"

"You brat, how dare you flirt with my daughter right in front of me!" Ji Dengtu flew into a rage and immediately grabbed Zu An's hand.

Just as he was about to exert force, he heard Ji Xiao Xi exclaim, "Wait!"

Ji Dengtu's face instantly stiffened. His daughter was stopping him!

Could this guy have secretly gotten close to Xiao Xi already?!

Rage points from Ji Dengtu +1024!

Zu An was somewhat puzzled why Ji Dengtu was so furious. But Ji Xiao Xi's small hands felt so comfortable to touch. He longed to pull her into his embrace and caress her...

Huh, why am I having such thoughts?

And just now, when he was holding Qin Wanru, his mind had also wandered. This shouldn't be happening!

Just then, Ji Xiao Xi spoke. "You're poisoned too."

"Poisoned with what?" Zu An was taken aback, not immediately understanding.

Ji Xiao Xi's face flushed slightly. "Of course, it's... the same poison as Madam Chu."

Zu An: "???"

Ji Dengtu also looked at Zu An with a strange expression. "What exactly happened between you two? Why are you both poisoned with the same thing?"

Zu An couldn't help but say, "You must be mistaken. How is that possible?"

Ji Xiao Xi shook her head. "No, I just detoxified Madam Chu, so I'm very familiar with the characteristics of this poison."

At this point, Ji Dengtu, who was standing by, took Zu An's hand and felt his pulse. His expression also grew strange. "Indeed, you've been poisoned with 'Bull's Milk.' I see some blood remaining on your face; it must have sprayed onto you when Qin Wanru was injured. It seeped into your skin and the corner of your mouth, which is why you're poisoned."

Ji Dengtu truly lived up to his reputation as a divine doctor. In a short time, he analyzed the truth of the situation with remarkable accuracy.

Zu An was dumbfounded. "What happens if a man gets this poison?"

"You're done for." Ji Dengtu smiled, sounding a bit gleeful.

Zu An: "..."

So Zu An directly took Ji Xiao Xi's hand. "Xiao Xi, please help me detoxify."

If that's the case, your daughter can help me with the antidote.

"Huh?" Ji Xiao Xi was dumbfounded. Her mind went blank, and she didn't react for a moment.

Seeing her stunned expression, Zu An found her even more charming.

"You brat!" Ji Dengtu roared in anger. He forcefully separated them and flicked a pill directly into Zu An's mouth.

Rage points from Ji Dengtu +666!

"Cough, cough~" Zu An clutched his throat. "What did you give me to eat?!"

Ji Dengtu snorted. "A Tranquilizing and Calming Pill. You were indirectly poisoned, and the poisoning is still shallow, so one pill will be enough."

Zu An indeed felt a cool sensation spread through his stomach. The inexplicable heat in his body then gradually subsided.

"This medicine is amazing! Give me a few more," Zu An said. He wondered if he was cursed, as he had encountered such situations several times. With such medicine, he wouldn't have to seek out the Ji father and daughter every time.

"No!" Ji Dengtu refused flatly.

"I'll buy it with money." Zu An was exasperated. This guy wasn't just lustful, but also greedy. *Hmm, why does he feel so similar to me?*

"This isn't for sale. It's for my Xiao Xi for self-defense," Ji Dengtu snorted.

This guy was practically a slave to his daughter, but that was one of his few good qualities.

At this moment, Ji Xiao Xi spoke anxiously. "Stop arguing, saving Madam Chu is important right now. Although the poison in her body has been neutralized, her life force is very weak, and she could die at any moment."

Zu An became anxious, but Ji Dengtu was faster, rushing into the room. He quickly jabbed several of Qin Wanru's acupuncture points with golden needles. Then he extended his hand towards Zu An. "Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pill! It's too late for me to refine one now."

Zu An then remembered that he had purchased a large quantity of medicinal ingredients from him last time. The most precious among them was the Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pill. It was said to revive someone even if they had only one breath left.

He didn't dare to hesitate, quickly took out a pill, and placed it in Qin Wanru's mouth. "Is one enough, or should I give her another?"

Ji Dengtu stopped him. "One is enough. This medicine is very potent; more would have an adverse effect." After saying this, he continued to concentrate and apply the golden needles.

Zu An dared not interfere with the treatment further and watched nervously from the side.

Ji Xiao Xi assisted him nearby.

Beads of sweat were clearly visible on Ji Dengtu's forehead. Clearly, performing this set of acupuncture techniques was extremely energy-consuming.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ji Dengtu's face suddenly changed. "Damn it! She was originally hit by the Heart-Shattering Fist, and I could have saved her. But because she was poisoned with 'Bull's Milk,' her blood circulation sped up several times compared to a normal person, which intensified her injuries many times over. Is it too late to save her now?"

Zu An felt a rush of blood to his head. "Aren't you a divine doctor, you bastard? How can you not save her? And you hyped up that Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pill, saying it could revive anyone with just one breath left. Madam Chu still has so many breaths, yet you can't save her. Are you toying with me?"
