Chapter Nine: A Chance Encounter
small room in the corner of the courtyard.The little room's door was shut, but the window was very broken, so you could see what was happening in the yard through the cracks.After about the time it ta...As dawn broke, the rain finally stopped. Jinmu, who had stood at the bow of the ship all night, still hadn't waited for his master to return. His eyes were bloodshot. After much deliberation, he finally ordered his subordinates to search for the young master.
In the crisp morning after the rain, the whole world seemed washed clean of dust. Even in the fresh air, a faint fragrance of plum blossoms lingered.
It's a pity that Qin Luoyan, who woke up by the river, had no mood to appreciate the beauty of the moment. Her eyes were hazy as she looked up at the sky. The azure sky was bathed in the glow of the rising sun.
She, she's still alive!
Qin Luoyan foolishly smiled, loosening the piece of driftwood in her arms. It was precisely because of this piece of driftwood that she had survived.
She held on to the piece of driftwood with all her might for a long time, her hands trembling slightly from exhaustion. Gritting her teeth, she picked up a branch that lay on the ground and moved forward, step by difficult step, but with unwavering determination.
After walking for half an hour, exhausted by the hunger and cold, she suddenly saw a wild pear tree in the distance. She dropped the branch and scrambled towards it, grabbing two pears at random. She didn't care about the bitter taste; she just munched on them with all her might.
She was eating a bit too quickly, being choked a few times. Even so, she still ate voraciously.
She ate over ten wild pears in one go before letting out a satisfied burp and stopping.
"Such a disgusting pear, you can still eat it Were you a pig in your past life"
A sudden, teasing male voice startled Qin Luoyan. She was taken aback and only then did she realize that someone was leaning against the pear tree.
She walked around the pear tree and saw the man's face on the ground. She couldn't help but gasp, his face was dark and his cheeks were swollen, you couldn't see his original features at all, this was clearly the result of poison.
But was it her imagination There was a familiar feeling in this man's eyes, wasn't there
"What are you looking at Never seen someone poisoned before" Fu Zi Mo's eyes were like blades, falling on Qin Luo Yan's face, his tone was incomparably cold and ruthless.
The moment this woman appeared, he recognized her. It was truly a case of finding what you've been searching for effortlessly after much toil. He had searched high and low but couldn't find her, yet here she was, right before him.
However, this chance encounter was terribly ill-timed. In such a disheveled state, he absolutely would not allow anyone to witness his humiliation!
Qin Luoyan was baffled by his sudden outburst of anger. She had received his wrath for no reason, and her tone naturally turned sour. "You're out here in the deep mountains, a man who's almost been poisoned to death, and you barely managed to find me. You don't even ask for my help, but instead, you're so fierce towards me Don't you actually want to live"
"You Save me" Fu Zimo let out a cold snort, turning his head away without even giving her a disdainful glance.
There is some truth to the saying that a pitiful person must have something hateful about them. Qin Luo Yan shook her head, turned around and prepared to leave. She wasn't a saint, and she had no interest in doing anything for such a person.
But after only two steps, she stopped abruptly, her gaze falling on the jade pendant at Fu Zimu's waist. Her eyes widened suddenly.
"If I save you, how will you repay me" Qin Luoyan walked back and knelt in front of Fu Zimu, her face inches from his, a fox-like smile playing on her lips.
For a moment, Fu Zimu's breath caught in his throat. This woman, did she have to speak so close
"Just say what you want, why do you make me ask" Her face was full of desire, smart as Fu Zimo was, he couldn't even see this.
Qin Luoyan gave him a thumbs-up. “It seems you’re not an ordinary person. You’re so good at reading people. Since that’s the case, I won’t waste any time. I want the jade pendant on your waist.”
She had nothing to her name. Even if she left this forest, there was no guarantee she could eat or keep warm. If she had a jade pendant worth something, she could exchange it for silver and start life anew much easier.
She wasn't someone who looked down on others. In a cruel society, the methods didn't matter; what mattered was finding ways to make life easier and better for herself.
Fu Zi Mo's pupils shrank for a moment, and after a long while, he laughed mockingly, "Do you know how much the jade pendant on my waist is worth"
“I don’t need to know, I only need to know that it won’t be worthless at least. As for the value, if it’s less, I won’t lose out, and if it’s more, consider it my good fortune.” Qin Luoyan spoke frankly, reaching out to take the jade pendant from his waist.
Although Fu Zimu had lost all his martial arts and most of his strength, it was still easy for him to stop her. "You haven't saved me yet, so you're in such a hurry to take my jade pendant"
His palm was still hot through his clothes. Qin Luoyan forcefully pulled her hand back and shrugged, "Alright, first tell me what kind of poison you've been struck with"
When Qin Luoyan asked this question, Fu Zimo's face unconsciously lifted a meaningful smile. That smile, in the afterglow of the rising sun, seemed even more unfathomable.
For some unknown reason, in that instant, Qin Luoyan felt a tinge of regret for the decision she had made.
As expected, Fu Zimo opened his mouth the next second, his tone icy cold, "Snake venom! It's simple to detoxify. Just suck out most of the poison from my wound, and I can force the rest out myself."
This man gave Qin Luo a feeling of darkness. Instinctively, she was certain that things couldn't be as simple as he said. "Then... where is your wound"
Fu Zi Mo fell silent for a moment, as if admiring her nervous expression. A warm ray of light filtered through the gaps in the branches. The smile on his lips deepened slightly, and then he uttered three words softly, "On the hip."
"What" Qin Luoyan thought she had misheard, but Fu Zimuo's expression was extremely serious.
"So, I said, you can't save me. Now, you can get out of my sight!" A fleeting loss flashed in Fu Zimo's eyes, followed by a chillingly cold tone.
The atmosphere suddenly became eerie and silent. Qin Luoyan and Fu Zimo just stared at each other like that, for a long time, neither of them spoke.
A ray of light fell, spanning between the two, leaving only dust dancing and swirling, a testament to the passing of time.
Just thinking about having to lick the venom from a man's buttock, no, suck the snake venom from his buttock, Qin Luoyan's temples throbbed. This snake, is it a demon Why not bite anywhere else, but just this ambiguous spot.
She isn't a doctor, so she can't see only patients and no dirt or ambiguity in their eyes. But if she were a doctor, wouldn't every wound be unavoidable no matter where it was
Either watch this stranger die before her eyes, or, disregarding her morals, suck the snake venom to save his life and then receive a valuable jade pendant as a reward. The former option seems to offer her no benefit whatsoever.
“Take off your pants!” Finally, Qin Luoyan clenched her fist and mustered her courage to shout out three words!
