Chapter 849: Self Inflicted
Qiao Qing said, “Silver mulberry.”
“Ah, so you know,” Mu Jinghang responded, “That makes it easy. I thought you’d need to study more to find out what’s needed.”
Qiao Qing continued, “You shouldn’t be too happy too early. This medicine isn’t easy to find. But I for sure will find it.”
“It’s better to know than not know anything at all, right?” Mu Jinghang slapped his chest, “Plus, you have us helping you! But Qingqing, you’re insane. How are you knowledgeable about venomous creatures?”
Qi Yusen glanced at Jun Yexuan.
Jun Yexuan rubbed his nose and smiled, “Brother, don’t look at me like that. I know I’m not good enough for Qingqing.”
Mu Jinghang chuckled, “It’s been a while since I heard brother Qi make fun of you.”
Jun Yexuan rolled his eyes, “Get out.”
After Qiao Qing was done suppressing the venomous creature, Mu Jinghang asked her, “Where do we go from here? We cannot go back to the Emperor. Emperor Yin hurt third brother once, he will hurt him a second time.”
Qi Yusen answered, “We are going to a hotel.”
…
On the other side.
After Jiang Che took Xia Houshang away in her robe, Xia Houshang had been pressing herself against him.
Jiang Che frowned and pulled the warm-bodied Xia Houshang away. He interrogated, “You took a pill?”
Xia Houshang nodded and her eyes were wet, “It’s that b**** Qiao Qing’s fault! I was going to feed the pill to Yexuan but she interrupted and I swallowed it by mistake.”
Jiang Che frowned even deeper, “This is self-inflicted. You shouldn’t blame anyone else.”
Xia Houshang, “…Whose friend are you?!”
Jiang Che said, “I stand on the side of reason.”
“Then why did you save me? Just leave!” Xia Houshang wasn’t pleased.
“Okay, since you asked.” Jiang Che scrunched his nose and pulled her arms away. He then tried to walk away.
In a hurry, Xia Houshang wrapped herself around him, “If you leave, what do I do like this?!”
Jiang Che sighed. Helpless, he went back and helped stabilize her.
Just then, a black Bently drove over and stopped by them.
Jiang Che once again pulled Xia Houshang’s hands, which were invading his personal s.p.a.ce, away. He dragged her into the car and ordered the car to go to the hospital.
The pill Xia Houshang took was acting up stronger now. Sliding her hands up his legs, he pulled on his s.h.i.+rt, she said, “Give me.”
Jiang Che grabbed hold of her wrist and faked a smile, “Look at me closely. You realize I’m not Jun Yexuan.”
“I know.” Xia Houshang said, “But he cannot save me right now. You like me right? Give it to me.”
Jiang Che was full of disappointment by now. He threw her to the side, “If I made you misunderstand anything, then I apologize. The reason why I help you again and again is that I admire your talent.”
“I went back there to save you just now because our families are close. Since we’ve known each other for so long, I cannot just watch you die.”
“Clear your head and endure this. Once we are at the hospital and you get the antidote from the doctor, I’ll stop minding your business.”
Xia Houshang’s heart was cold, “But, the only antidote for me is men!”
Jiang Che was startled and narrowed his eyes, “Really?”
“Why would I lie to you about that?!” Xia Houshang pressed herself against Jiang Che again, “Help me out. Without a man, I will die!”
Jiang Che pushed her away and said to the driver, “Go to a brothel.”
Xia Houshang was stunned, “You want me to sleep with a gigolo?!”
