Ye Ming still harbored so resentnt about the recent events and said, "A rabble of misfits, I am not afraid of them!"
Xia Ningning patiently explained, "Are you really foolish or just pretending? Right now, you are already targeted by the Nanjiang Poison Sect; if you add the Martial Artist Association to your list, how will you get by?"
"It’s lucky that I found out the information in advance and arrived in ti to stop you from making a grave mistake. It was really too dangerous!"
Covered in sweat from the heat, Xia Ningning, who had been talking for quite a while, started to feel her mouth dry and her tongue parched again.
Seeing the Spirit Spring Water placed nearby, she picked it up and gulped it down.
After downing a bottle of water, Xia Ningning’s brows furrowed.
"What’s wrong with this water, why do I feel a bit warm?"
Ye Ming took a close look and felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
The water Xia Ningning had just drunk was the fake Spirit Spring Water tampered with by Wang Qian.
But it was already too late to explain, as Xia Ningning had already consud it all.
"The water you drank is poisoned!" Ye Ming said.
"Ah?" Xia Ningning exclaid in alarm and hurriedly tried to induce vomiting, but she couldn’t bring anything up.
With so worry, she asked, "Ye Ming, am I going to die?"
No sooner had she spoken than her body began to heat up, and red rashes started to appear, causing unbearable itching.
Xia Ningning couldn’t resist the urge to scratch herself but was promptly stopped by Ye Ming.
However, her face too soon began to show red rashes, and her face started to swell, quickly turning into a pig’s head.
"How can this be? Ye Ming, save ! I don’t want to die yet!"
Xia Ningning, seeing her own reflection, was utterly panicked.
She hadn’t expected to be disfigured. She wasn’t afraid of dying, but the thought of dying in such an ugly state, turning into a pig’s head, was more unbearable than death itself.
"With here, you won’t die. Let’s go quickly; I’ll help you with the antidote!" Ye Ming pulled Xia Ningning along as they left and gave her a mask to wear.
Unfortunately, the mask was of little use. Within re minutes, Xia Ningning’s face swelled even more.
Terrified, Xia Ningning began to cry, covering her face, too ashad to be seen.
"Ye Ming, where are you taking ? With the way I look now, I can’t face anyone!" Xia Ningning said, her head lowered, fearing others, especially Ye Ming, would see her in this state.
Ye Ming calmly comforted her, "I’m taking you to a secretive place!"
Xia Ningning suddenly panicked and said, "I’m already like this, what are you going to do to ?"
"You’re not going to..."
Ye Ming smacked his lips and said, "Stop imagining things. I’m going to cure your poison. You have symptoms all over your body; I need to find a place where no one can see you to treat your condition!"
"What you need to do now is to keep your mouth shut; otherwise, you’ll really turn into a pig’s head later!"
Hearing Ye Ming’s words, Xia Ningning finally shut her mouth.
The two of them rushed to a nearby hotel in the shortest ti possible.
Once inside the hotel, Ye Ming led Xia Ningning into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and filled the bathtub with water.
Ye Ming said earnestly, "Get in!"
"Ah?" Xia Ningning was taken aback once more, and she hurriedly responded, "But I’m still wearing my clothes; they’ll get wet."
Ye Ming couldn’t help but admire the woman’s train of thought; even at a ti like this, she was worried about trivial matters.
With a mix of resignation and disbelief, he said, "Miss, I obviously ant for you to take off your clothes before getting in. Who takes a bath with their clothes on?"
"But I..." Xia Ningning’s face turned bright red. Such an act was far too shaful; she couldn’t bring herself to do it, especially in front of Ye Ming.
"Maybe I just won’t get treated. I’d rather..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Xia Ningning saw her reflection in the mirror.
The once delicate beauty had turned into an old witch, and Xia Ningning’s heart was almost breaking.
"Ye Ming, are you sure you can really cure ?"
Xia Ningning asked in a soft voice.
Ye Ming nodded resolutely and explained, "While you still haven’t fully digested that poisonous water, I can use so thods to force the toxins out of you."
"But with ti passing, I’m not certain I can succeed."
Worried, Xia Ningning heard Ye Ming’s words and hesitated no more. To regain her usual looks, she took the plunge.
She stripped quickly and then entered the bath in front of Ye Ming.
Even though her face was ruined, Xia Ningning’s figure was surely one in ten thousand, with not a single inch of excess fat.
Ye Ming steadied his own mind and took out a bottle of highly pure Spirit Spring Water from his pocket, pouring it into the water.
Next, he brought out two Silver Needles, using them to channel True Qi and prick into Xia Ningning’s body.
As they made close contact, Ye Ming felt Xia Ningning’s heartbeat quicken and her breathing grow increasingly rapid.
"Don’t worry, I am a doctor. A healer should be compassionate. To , you’re just a patient!" Ye Ming said, feigning calmness.
The more he said, the more embarrassed Xia Ningning beca, her entire face burning hot.
But at that mont, she couldn’t do anything and simply let Ye Ming’s gaze wander over her body.
After half an hour of treatnt, with the dual effects of the Spirit Spring Water and True Qi, the poisonous water in Xia Ningning’s body had evaporated through her sweat.
Her appearance gradually returned to normal, although a blush still tinged her cheeks.
"Drink these remaining Spirit Spring Waters, and you should be fine," said Ye Ming, exhaling a breath of relief, speaking to Xia Ningning.
Such close contact had also put imnse psychological pressure on Ye Ming.
Though he tried to be very restrained, his gaze still caught many critical sights, stirring so agitation within him.
Obediently, Xia Ningning nodded and downed the Spirit Spring Water in one gulp.
After doing all this, she indeed felt an unusual sensation in her body.
"Inner... can you go out now? I need to get dressed," Xia Ningning asked in a voice as thin as a mosquito’s.
Ye Ming’s face flushed, and he nodded quickly, leaving the room.
Once he was gone, Xia Ningning began inspecting her body.
After this treatnt, not only had Xia Ningning expelled the poison she consud, but under the effect of the Spirit Spring Water, her skin had also beco very smooth, much better than before.
She looked at herself in the mirror, shocked, even forgetting to get dressed.
"Is this really ?" Xia Ningning murmured shyly to herself, "I never thought Spirit Spring Water would be so powerful. I just don’t know if Ye Ming, that jerk, was watching ..."
"But, we were so close; he must have seen everything..."
"It’s infuriating. He got an eyeful for free, but, given that he improved my skin, I’ll forgive him."
After a bit of self-reassurance, Xia Ningning took out her cell phone, snapped a few selfies in the mirror, and then began to dress, still not quite over the experience.
