The girl instinctively swallowed the pill, and only then did the decay on her face show a slight improvent, halting its progression.
However, the sight that t everyone's eyes left them gasping.
Her face was utterly disfigured!
The countenance of a once-delicate and pretty young girl had turned a shocking shade of red, grotesquely swollen. There were now two gaping holes on her chin and cheek, revealing white bone beneath.
Achir, shocked, shrank back and sought refuge behind Asi.
Several students from the Hong Estate Academy couldn't contain their anger and launched into an angry tirade, "Why are you hiding?"
"If you hadn't swung your sword and killed that saber-toothed fish earlier, none of this would have happened!"
"You blundering fool!"
"You're a jinx!"
Achir herself felt deeply aggrieved. How could she have known that the saber-toothed fish held such vile toxins? That there would be a poison sack inside it capable of inflicting such harm on others before it t its demise?
Did they think she did it intentionally? It wasn't her fault!
The girl, whose face was now in ruins, covered her disfigured visage and wept.
Observing this, Qiao Mu grew slightly exasperated and shouted, "Silence, all of you!"
She tossed a small bottle of dicine to the girl. "Apply this morning and night. Your face should heal within a month."
Everyone stared at her in astonishnt. Seeing that the stoic young woman remained largely impassive, their gazes turned even colder as they regarded the sobbing girl.
"Her eyes are really icy," everyone thought.
The disfigured girl clutched the dicine bottle and, upon eting the stoic girl's gaze, was initially terrified by her coldness. She trembled timidly in fear but soon felt a warm current penetrate her heart.
Inexplicably, she found herself unconditionally trusting the young face before her, though it was marked by an aura of seriousness and detachnt.
"T-thank you," she mumbled, her voice soft as a whisper.
Following this incident, Achir refrained from speaking and sought refuge behind Asi and Ali.
The shipwrights lay prostrate on the ground, beseeching Holy Son Miyan, "Your Excellency, save us, save us."
Not only were the saber-toothed fish's teeth formidable, but the poison solution within their stomachs was even more lethal.
They were ordinary individuals. If they were bitten by these saber-toothed fish, they'd undoubtedly et their demise.
However, if the poison solution happened to splash on them while battling the saber-toothed fish, given their non-ascendant status, they'd likely fare worse than the disfigured girl and face imminent death.
Holy Son Miyan's expression grew solemn. She turned to the stoic girl and inquired in a deep voice, "Do you possess any ans to help us?"
For so reason, she had the conviction that this little girl, adorned in treasures, held the key to extricating everyone from this perilous situation.
The young girl raised her brows and gave him an indignant look. "Didn't you folks bring this calamity upon yourselves? Now that you're unable to manage it, you expect to bail you out?"
Holy Son Miyan responded, "Are you misunderstanding sothing here?"
"We're all in the sa predicant now," he argued. Was he insane to lure these creatures here, jeopardizing everyone, including himself?
"Hmph," the stoic girl rolled her eyes at him. "You don't know how to stir up trouble, but can't others do it?"
The Holy Son's gaze instinctively turned to the silent Holy Daughter Nie Yaoguang.
For so reason, this was his intuition. He felt that the little stoic was targeting the Holy Daughter.
