Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: Raging rcury Flows Eastward (1)
“Cao Xiaosha, drink so water to help the pill dissolve quickly.”
Cao Xiaosha, not understanding the reason, followed An Yiqing’s instructions and gulped down several mouthfuls of water before looking at An Yiqing in confusion.
“Don’t look at my master. My master did this to save you. The thing that bit you just now wasn’t so random insect—it was a highly venomous poisonous insect from Dawang Mountain. If soone is bitten, their entire body becos paralyzed and immobile within a minute, and if they don’t receive treatnt within an hour, they’ll be playing chess with the Yama Raja in the underworld.”
Yin Xilin’s explanation caused everyone to gasp sharply. How could such a tiny, mosquito-sized insect be so dangerous? What should they do next?
Unconsciously, everyone’s gaze fell onto An Yiqing. Yin Xilin was confused as to why everyone was staring at her master. Did they think that her master was immune to all poisons?
An Yiqing, feeling their stares, chuckled softly and pretended as she pulled a bag of pills from her backpack.
“This was my oversight. I didn’t expect Dawang Mountain to have so many venomous creatures. Take one pill each. It will make you immune to all poisons for two hours.”
Yin Xilin’s eyes imdiately lit up like lasers. She gazed eagerly at An Yiqing and then at the bag of pills in her hand, nearly drooling in anticipation.
Ah Mi, who had remained silent all this ti, couldn’t help but laugh at Yin Xilin’s expression. “Lingling, your drool is falling.”
Yin Xilin blushed, quickly shut her mouth, and wiped the corner of her lips. Realizing she had been teased, she shot a defiant glance at Ah Mi.
As if understanding Yin Xilin’s eagerness, An Yiqing chuckled and handed her a pill.
“Take it. I have plenty more. Once we return to Xuandu City, you’ll need to learn all these skills, one step at a ti. You’ll be busy, trust .”
Yin Xilin swallowed the pill in one gulp and nodded repeatedly. “I’m not afraid of hard work! Master, you can lock
in Xiao Hei’s room for a year, as long as you give
enough dical books to read and enough rice to fill my stomach—I’ll be satisfied.”
An Yiqing was both amused and exasperated by her apprentice’s obsession with dicine. The more she thought about it, the more Yin Xilin reminded her of herself as a child.
Just as the thought crossed her mind, her body suddenly froze, and her heart skipped a beat.
How could she think that Yin Xilin was just like her as a child? Wasn’t she supposed to have lost her mories? Why would she think that?
An Yiqing, overwheld, tried to recall her childhood and was shocked to discover that many things were coming back to her in blurry fragnts. She rembered the peaceful and elegant courtyard of Wuling Village. She recalled many monts of her life with Ye Chenghong. She rembered the night she made itching powder that caused her master to suffer without sleep. She rembered all the strange little inventions she’d created that made her master flare with frustration.
Scenes flashed through her mind like an old, grainy movie playing at high speed.
An Yiqing’s eyes gradually reddened, and excitent began to show on her face.
Gu Yelin, startled by An Yiqing’s sudden surge of emotion, quickly wrapped an arm around her and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why are you suddenly crying?”
An Yiqing, already emotional, felt even more touched by Gu Yelin’s concern and tenderness. For a mont, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Ah Lin, I rembered so many things. I rembered so much from my childhood.” An Yiqing clutched Gu Yelin’s clothes tightly as she spoke.
Gu Yelin was overjoyed. If circumstances had allowed, he would have held An Yiqing tightly and kissed her passionately on the spot.
