Chapter 95 - Devouring Spirit

“Genius Doctor Xi, do you know what kind of poison was in Haoxuan’s body?”

Hexi’s

movements slightly paused and she was silent momentarily before finally

saying, “The poison found in Young Master Ouyang’s body was Devouring

Spirit. This poison is extremely rare in Jin Ling country, it's

colourless and tasteless, so it's very difficult to detect this poison

in an ordinary martial artist. Once this poison is administered, it

nourishes itself on the body's spiritual power, rapidly spreading

throughout the entire body. For people infected with this poison, the

meridians will rot inch by inch, while the dantian will gradually wither

until all that remains of the person is a layer of skin, only then will

they stop breathing. During this process, the person will feel like

they're slowly being devoured by a thousand ants, in such unbearable

agony that they would wish for death. An ordinary person would

absolutely be unable to endure it.”

When saying these words Hexi’s

face had slightly blushed, this was because she wasn't able to find out

any information about the Devouring Spirit poison. Rather, the

information had come from Nangong Yu who had taken the bottle of poison

with him, and several days later had ordered people to deliver a Jade

Slip detailing the poison to her.

Recorded on the Jade Slip was

information regarding the Devouring Spirit's prescription and toxicity,

with even a few detailed cases attached. With such a rare poison, she

knew that within such a short period of time that she wouldn't have been

able to find out such knowledge.

Yet just recalling the shameless

words that person had attached at the end of the Jade Slip caused

Hexi’s heart turn from gratefulness to resentment.

That shameless bastard, who would like to think of him while lying awake restless and worried at night! Just dream on!

Ouyang Zhixiong's and Ouyang Haoxuan's faces changed after hearing Hexi’s explanation.

Ouyang

Zhixiong fiercely attacked a rock nearby, and after just hearing a

bang, that rock that was as tall in height as half a person, instantly

collapsed into dust, “Who would be this vicious as to actually use

Devouring Spirit to deal with my Ouyang family?! He not only wanted to

destroy Haoxuan, but also wanted to make our Ouyang family sink into a

situation devoid of hope!”

Ouyang Haoxuan slightly moved his mouth

as he sneeringly said, “No matter who is it, since they dared to plot

against I, Ouyang Haoxuan, then there will be a day where I must make

them repay what they owe a thousand times.”

Hexi wasn't interested

in participating in the Ouyang family’s revenge, and since the illness

was already cured, she was naturally ready to leave.

However, just

when she was about to go, she heard Ouyang Haoxuan gently call out to

her, “Genius Doctor Xi, please stay a moment.”

Hexi turned around

and saw the man who had been reclining on the rattan chair slowly stand

up, his slender body appearing thin and weak under the sunshine, yet his

back was quite straight.

“Genius Doctor Xi, can I...call you Xi Yue?”

The man’s low and quiet voice was slightly hoarse, causing Hexi to raise her eyebrows yet not answer.

Ouyang

Haoxuan also didn’t intend for her to respond, his mouth lifting into a

shallow smile as he said, “Maybe Xi Yue didn't take me seriously, but I

still want to say it to you again. Young Master, you have graced me

with a new lease on life, so I, Ouyang Haoxuan, hereby vow, that in the

future if Xi Yue has any requests of me, as long as it doesn't bring

disaster to my Ouyang family, I will certainly to go through any

difficulty to accomplish it for you. If I violate this oath, let me be

struck with divine punishment.”

Hexi

stared blankly, while Ouyang Zhixiong was shocked, but immediately

thinking of his son, who just half a month ago was dispirited and

desperate, he felt relief.

It wasn't an exaggeration to repay this life saving kindness by willing to risk life and limb.

Hexi was surprised by Ouyang Haoxuan’s eyes, they were too bright, too cold.

They somewhat resembled an aurora blooming between glaciers, obviously dazzling to look at, yet without a trace of emotion.

Subsequently, Hexi felt a smile burst across her face, and without hesitation, she turned around and left Ouyang Manor.

No

matter what promises or oaths she heard, for her, it was all

meaningless. After all, the partner who had previously accompanied her

for ten years had easily betrayed her, isn’t that so?
