Chapter 226: True Bragging
Haogu was shocked. This life-threatening insect comes in a pair. No matter which one of them dies, the person it is parasitizing will also die.
But Xiao Lan was not dead, which meant that the poisonous insect in his body had been pulled out.
Haogu's face turned gloomy in an instant, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her delicate facial features seemed a little distorted because of anger.
She gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "Who is this nosy guy?" Her slender eyes narrowed into a slit, revealing a strong murderous intent. After thinking about it, the only one who could be it was her junior fellow apprentice Shui Qinglian.
Haogu calmed herself down and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles." Her eyes became sharp.
Emperor Yuxuan gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I know, but what should I do now?"
Haogu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, why not send someone to secretly monitor her every move and look for an opportunity to strike."
Emperor Yuxuan frowned, "That's the only way."
At the same time, the atmosphere in Qingxin Little House became increasingly tense.
Xiao Sizhe lowered his voice and said, "We must speed up our pace and not let Emperor Yuxuan discover our plan."
A minister echoed, "Yes, Your Highness, we must be extremely careful."
Another minister said worriedly: "If they are discovered, the consequences will be disastrous."
Xiao Sizhe's eyes were determined, "As long as we unite as one, we will succeed!"
Meanwhile, in Weilong Palace, Emperor Yuxuan and Haogu were still worried about Xiaolan's affairs.
Emperor Yuxuan waved his hands irritably, "This matter must be done cleanly and neatly, without the slightest mistake!"
Haogu nodded, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will make proper arrangements."
In the hall of Qingxin Cottage, everyone was discussing the matter heatedly.
At this time, Shui Qinglian was standing among the crowd, dancing with excitement and talking incessantly about his medical feats.
The courtyard is surrounded by red walls and green tiles, and a few wild flowers in the corner are swaying gently in the breeze.
He was wearing a green gown, the corners of which fluttered gently in the breeze. Although the gown was a bit old, it was clean and tidy.
His hair was casually tied behind his head, with a few strands of hair falling down, swaying with his movements, adding a bit of unruly look.
His eyes, which were originally small, were now wide open due to extreme excitement, flashing with fanaticism and pride. When he spoke excitedly, his eyebrows raised high and his forehead was slightly sweaty.
"Haha, my master thought he had created the most difficult poison to cure. Little did he know that I had already made a preventive medicine that could cure all poisons in the world. You don't know, my master has always been proud of the seven-colored scorpion venom he prepared, and he thinks it is a peerless poison that no one can cure. Humph, but I don't believe it!"
Shui Qinglian paused at this point, whetting everyone's appetite. At this moment, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a sly smile, his eyes full of provocation.
At this time, a bright moon was hanging high in the night sky. The cold moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, reflecting his excited face.
He cleared his throat and continued, "I spent days and nights buried in that room full of herbs and medical books, constantly trying and mixing. During those countless nights, the dim light of the oil lamp accompanied me, and I was unaware of the buzzing of mosquitoes in my ears. Sometimes I was so tired that I could hardly open my eyes, but as long as I thought about surpassing my master and breaking the poison in this world, I would be refreshed."
As he spoke, a determined look appeared on his face and his eyes revealed persistence and indomitable spirit.
The house was filled with the bitter smell of herbs, but fortunately the mourning hall was large and his voice could be heard clearly by everyone.
He took a breath and continued his passionate narration: "Finally, on a dark and windy night, the wind was howling against the window, and the branches outside were creaking in the wind. I seemed to have received a revelation from God. I mixed several seemingly ordinary herbs in a peculiar proportion, and then added some mysterious auxiliary ingredients."
"When the potion was bubbling in the crucible, a strange aroma spread. I had a strong premonition in my heart that it would work this time!"
At this moment, his eyes were shining, full of anticipation and excitement, and his nostrils were flaring slightly, as if he could still smell the strange fragrance at that time.
Shui Qinglian's face was full of intoxication, as if she had returned to the moment of success: "I carefully poured the potion into a small bottle, and then found a little white mouse that had been poisoned. When I fed the mouse the potion, my heart was in my throat."
"Guess what? Not long after, the dying mouse miraculously became alive and kicking! At that moment, I knew I had succeeded! I developed a preventive medicine that can cure the world's most difficult poison!"
He spoke with great excitement, gesturing with his hands in the air, his face filled with immense pride and satisfaction.
"Haha, my master thought he had created the most difficult poison in the world. Little did he know that I had already made a preventive medicine that could cure the most difficult poison in the world. As long as you take it, you can prevent all uncurable poisons! Do you want it? If you do, it's 100 taels of silver per bottle!"
As he spoke, he exaggeratedly gestured, his eyes flashing with cunning light, as if waiting for everyone's admiration and praise. Many courtiers gathered around him, laughing and asking: "Really? Really? You are really capable!"
These ministers had expressions of curiosity and suspicion on their faces. Some of them looked up at Shui Qinglian, while others were whispering to each other.
Seeing this, Shui Qinglian became even more complacent, puffed out her chest, raised her chin and said, "Of course, my ability is not exaggerated. I spent countless days and nights to develop this medicine, it is absolutely genuine!"
His eyes were wide open, and his gaze swept across everyone's faces, observing their reactions. An elderly official stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Shui Lord, is your medicine really so magical? Don't fool us." Shui Qinglian waved his hands and said anxiously: "Oh, old lord, how dare I fool you? If you don't believe me, just try it and you will know."
Another courtier came forward and said flatteringly: "Lord Shui, if your medicine is really effective, it will benefit everyone." Shui Qinglian laughed, put his hands on his hips, and said: "Of course, with my medicine, everyone doesn't have to be afraid of those major poisons. Hehe!"
