Chapter 45: She Was Like a Female Rogue
Feng Chen’s body froze slightly, and he felt the inexplicable feeling of being out of control again.
He still remembered that when he went to Jin wang’s Mansion, Yu Qing Qian, who was only two years old at the time, would sneak into his bedroom every night to occupy his bed and use him as a hug pillow.
Later on, when she was accidentally discovered by Yu Jing, she stately and very naturally moved into his dormitory, eating, living, and sleeping together.
Every night, as long as she hugged him and slept he would always feel much lighter the next day and some of the poison in his body would be suppressed.
Although it wasn’t obvious every time, but as the person involved, he still felt it deeply.
But now, they were, after all, no longer children—would this woman absorb the poison in his body using the same trick of hugging him to sleep like before?
“What’re you thinking about?” Yu Qing Qian couldn’t resist chuckling when she saw Feng Chen’s picturesque face changing several times.
Feng Chen glanced at her faintly and said honestly: “I’m thinking about how you’re going to absorb the poison.”
“Of course…” Yu Qing Qian said, dramatically trailing off, “just holding your hand is enough.”
Seeing that Feng Chen seemed to be relieved, she approached him again and asked with a teasing chuckle: “You’re not thinking that I need to hug you to sleep to absorb it, did you?”
“That’s exactly what I thought.” Feng Chen knew that he was being teased by this woman, so he calmly raised his eyes and smiled faintly.
Yu Qing Qian stretched out her hand, ran her fingertip across Feng Chen’s chin, and said roguishly: “Tsk, tsk, so it turns out that’s what you hoped for, beauty!”
Then her tone changed, and she said in an extremely ambiguous tone: “If you want, I can also hold you in my arms and expel the poison while sleeping like I did when we were children.”
Feng Chen couldn’t resist but slap away her claw that gently lifted his chin. This woman was too much like a female rogue right now.
“No need.” He said in a serious and cold voice.
Yu Qing Qian pursed her lips. Seeing that Feng Chen’s cold and calm expression had long since collapsed into darkness, she couldn’t help but laugh brightly and heartily.
Feng Chen’s face turned even darker. This woman was so difficult to deal with. She didn’t understand a woman’s reserve and shyness at all.
Finding that Feng Chen was about to storm off, Yu Qing Qian hurriedly suppressed her laughter and placed a hand on his pulse, “Let me feel your pulse first to detect the poison in your body.”
During the apocalypse, western medicine was very scarce, and many high-tech equipment couldn’t be used because there was no electricity, so traditional Chinese medicine became popular.
In particular, after the ingredients from many mutated plants were found to also be able to be used as medicine, the status of traditional Chinese medicine in the Base grew higher and higher and was protected.
She was born into a family of Chinese medicine doctors before the apocalypse. Her grandfather took her with him to study medicine since she was a child and passed on to her many treasured Chinese medicine classics.
After the apocalypse, she had thoroughly understood all those classics, and her achievements and attainments in Chinese medicine were very high. Especially after activating the wood-class variant ability, she also researched many prescriptions and treatment methods.
Feng Chen turned his head and noticed that Yu Qing Qian’s face and eyes no longer had a teasing smile, but were serious and grave, so he stopped the urge to leave directly.
After a cup of tea’s time, Yu Qing Qian raised her eyes, looking at Feng Chen and said slowly: “Although your poison hasn’t yet attacked your heart, but all the meridians and blood vessels have been penetrated by the poison. In ten years at most, you’ll become living poison.
“After becoming a living poison, you will either be controlled by the poisoner and become a poisonous puppet without any thought, or the poison will fully activate, and you’ll die.”
She paused, then continued: “The person who poisoned your mother obviously targeted you. It won’t harm the mother’s body, but it will infect the baby in her belly with this vicious and intractable poison.”
