Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-1971

Gu Xijiu could not help but steal a glance at him. When that fella called her 'Xijiu', it sounded all too natural as if he had always been addressing her that way. He was just calling her by the name 'Chongsheng' just now. It seemed that he had heard much of the conversation between Yun Yanli and her; so he knew her real name.

"Of course, let's push it out." Gu Xijiu immediately pushed Yun Yanli's wheelchair and walked away.

Shen Nianmo's lips curved upwards slightly. "It seems like this man is not only unable to walk but unable to use his hands as well."

Yun Yanli was speechless. He was an astute character, so he said, "Xijiu, let me do it myself." He was, in fact, able to push himself.

Gu Xijiu looked at Yun Yanli's wrist, which was still covered in fresh blood, and cut him right off, "There is no need!"

She stole another glance at Shen Nianmo, mused, and took out the Cherry Blossom Snake. She extracted the snake's poison, filled it in a small bottle, and handed it to Shen Nianmo, "Fuyi, you can go back first. This poison has been diluted by a hundred times through the water from the glacier, and was added with Lanyue grass…"

She laid out in detail the ingredients of the medicine, and eventually said, "Your juniors are in critical condition now. Let them each take this medicine, and then use your spiritual powers to help them to detoxify their bodies. Remember to put on a mask and gloves when approaching them."

"My juniors… Are they not your juniors?" Shen Nianmo asked in return.

"Ehm, of course, they are mine as well." That kid tends to find fault in what she said. "Alright, they are our juniors."

"What about you?" Shen Nianmo's eyes were gloomy.

"Brother Yun's injury needs to be attended to immediately. We will split up, and I will visit you guys again after three days."

"Whatever." Shen Nianmo turned and left without any sign of reluctance.

Gu Xijiu was stunned for a moment. Seeing his figure disappear, she felt indecipherable remorse in her heart.

Yun Yanli was somewhat regretful as well. "Xijiu, your junior seems to be rather unhappy. It is all my fault starting a conflict between the both of you…"

"No problem. He is just childish. It will all be fine soon." Gu Xijiu pushed him out of the cave. "I have inspected your injury. The poison has hurt your veins, and, to top it with the fact that you have been rather impatient at training, you are in deep trouble, so much so that you lost control of both your legs. However, it is not incurable. Wait until I bring you out, we can look for a place to let you bathe with a couple of herbs, and with my spells, you could recover within three days."

Gu Xijiu had great medicinal skills. She had already inspected his veins while helping him to break free from the chains.

Yun Yanli's injury was, in fact, not lethal. It was only because he had failed to get immediate treatment, and was being experimented with different medicines that he ended up that way.

Yun Yanli had been helping her a lot in the past. Throughout the few hundred years, he had been by her side as she paid the Mighty Immortals numerous visits. He had devoted his time and effort, so Gu Xijiu was indebted to him. Now that he was in trouble, it was only natural for her to help him with all her abilities.

She pushed him out to the tortuous Cherry Blossom forest, and towards the side of a deep pond.

The hills and cliffs surrounded them. To leave the place, they would have to ride on a bird or something, or by following the original route towards the Tree Palace and exit from there.

Gu Xijiu was carrying Yun Yanli, so she was unable to fly over. She was considering going through the Tree Palace when suddenly, the sound of a bird broke the silence of the sky, and two huge birds emerged from within the clouds and landed between Yun Yanli and her.
