Chapter 136: Solution to Ice Poison
The internal force having been poured into her back instantly turned into plumes of warmth flowing slowly in the veins. The warmth merged with the medicinal power produced by the Gra.s.s quickly dispelled the algidity in her body. After a while, the heavy algidity completely removed from her body and only left with the warm current flowing back and forth in her veins.
Her cold body became warm, her pale face gradually regained some color, and her blue lips became cherry red and moist. However, her mouth was still bitter and astringent. Seemed that the taste could not dissipated by the candied fruit.
Murong Xue gave Ouyang Shaochen a ferocious stare, “Pa.s.s me that cup of yogurt on the table. The yogurt is thick and should be able to suppress the bitter taste in my mouth.
Ouyang Shaochen glanced at the white porcelain cup on the table and frowned gently, “You have just removed the cold toxin from your body. Yogurt is not an ideal drink!” Since cold toxin pertained to Yin, taking more Yin food like yogurt or cold tea after the toxin would be bad for health.
“I’ve only heard yogurt promotes digestion, protects intestines and stomach, and enhances immunity. Just one cup, which is beneficial to the body but not harmful!” Murong Xue argued seriously.
“Yes, you can, but not now. Wait for 30 minutes until your body reaches full recovery.” Ouyang Shaochen said in a light tone and showed no compromise.
“I’ll be poisoned to death by the bitter taste after another 30 minutes.” Murong Xue said grumpily and suddenly crossed over Ouyang Shaochen and grabbed the yogurt cup on the table, and quickly opened the lid. When she was about to drink it, Ouyang Shaochen stretched out his hand, s.n.a.t.c.hed it, and took a sip gracefully. His long white sleeves streamed down, n.o.ble and elegant.
“What the h.e.l.l are you doing?” Murong Xue said in anger with knitted brows. There were several cups of yoghurt on the table. He could take whichever he liked. Why was he targeting hers?
Without a word, Ouyang Shaochen slowly put down the yogurt cup. His dark eye was as deep as a pool. He stretched out his arms and took Murong Xue in his arms. Suddenly, his thin lips tightly kissed on her cherry red lips. The milky yogurt flowed into her mouth through her slightly opened jaws, with a faint warm sweet and sour taste, filling her whole mouth instantly.
Murong Xue only felt a boom in her head and her mind got totally blank. Well, so he was not intent to drink but to “warm up” the yogurt, for feeding her…
Murong Xue glared at Ouyang Shaochen ferociously and accidentally looked into his dark pupils. His eyes clearly reflected her figure, making her suddenly freeze: why was the scene so familiar? As if it had ever happened before…
Pieces of broken images flashed in her mind to quickly and gradually piece together into a complete fragment, which completely coincided with the scene in front of her eyes. Murong Xue suddenly strained her big eyes, on the way back to the capital from the barracks, she mistook the wine for water and got drunk, which meant her first kisses in her two lives, were all taken by Ouyang Shaochen in a daze. How irritating!
Murong Xue’s eyes flared up with rage. She waved her arms to hit Ouyang Shaochen, just like a sullen cat.
Ouyang Shaochen left her for an inch, puzzled and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“You are even not bashful to ask!” Murong Xue was angry, grabbed the soft pillow behind her and smashed at Ouyang Shaochen severely.
Ouyang Shaochen casually stretched out his hand and caught it. He looked at Murong Xue and said, “I have no alternative to feed you this way. If you feel cheated, I can take the responsibility!”
She was angry not because he fed her yogurt this way, but…
Though angry and irritated, she could not tell him bluntly. With faint pink appeared in her beautiful little face, she blurted out, “I don’t even know how many years left for me, which kind of responsibility you want to take?”
Ouyang Shaochen’s eyes fixed on her: “You’re an expert at antidote. Is this not enough for detoxifying your Ice Poison?”
“I have already dealt with it if I can.” A sad looked revealed in her eyes. Rank poison like He Ding Hong and a.r.s.enic could kill people instantly. However, there were also several other detoxification methods.
People who suffered from Ice Poison usually looked the same as ordinary people. Only when the toxin attacked, people would die of great pains, but as long as they take the Fire Lotus Seeds in time, they would stay safe and sound. Therefore, cold toxin would not poison people’s lives, but it naturally had no therapies!
However, people suffering from this generally died young since they would endure the pains all the year round.
“Don’t worry, as long as it’s poison, there should be a way to relieve,” said Ouyang Shaochen in a low voice, his eyes were dark as pool as always.
“Hope so!” Murong Xue said sullenly, but held no hope in her heart. Medical skills in modern times acc.u.mulating five thousand years of wisdom had failed to find out the solution of Ice Poison. How could doctors in Qingyan figure the way out…
Ouyang Shaochen squeezed Murong Xue a little bit, so she looked towards him, noticing he took off his shoes, got into bed and sat beside her.
“What are you doing?” Murong Xue moved toward the inside and looked at him with a frown.
“A little bit tired, I’d like to take a rest!” Ouyang Shaochen said flatly, leaning against the bed head with his eyes closed. A faint weariness lingered over his brows.
Tired? Rest? Murong Xue suddenly realized that in the past, after taking the Fire Lotus Seeds for curing the poison, she would be in lethargy for several hours. But today she was so awake after taking the Earth Yang Gra.s.s.
And the last time the toxin attacked her, she also woke up after a short sleep. The difference between the past and these two times was Ouyang Shaochen by her side to convey internal force for her.
Yes, internal force! Ouyang Shaochen’s internal force could dispel the Ice Poison in her body!
Murong Xue looked at Ouyang Shaochen with sparkling eyes, only to see his dark eyebrows slightly puckered and his brows full of fatigue. She slowed down her speaking speed and said, “Are you really tired?”
“I’ll be fine, only after a short rest!” Ouyang Shaochen said in a slightly exhausting voice.
“Then have a good rest!” Murong Xue said gently, pulling up her brocade quilt to cover Ouyang Shao Chen. Now she was full of energy without any trace of fatigue. She did not need to rest in bed any more.
Ouyang Shaochen was the one who needed more rest because he consumed too much internal force.
“Mm…” Ouyang Shaochen responded with his eyes half closed, and then picked up the yogurt cup beside him.
Murong Xue said in a panic, “There is no bitter taste in my mouth. I don’t need any more yogurt!”
Looking at her alert and deep eyes, Ouyang Shao Chen’s eyes seemed flas.h.i.+ng with a smile, “It’s for myself!”
Murong Xue felt relieved and stare at him resentfully, “How about its taste?”
“Not bad.” Ouyang Shaochen drank it slowly and said casually, “When you are free, you may as well prepare more and give it away if you cannot finish them by yourself…”
“I have few acquaintances in the capital. Who did I make the yogurt for?” Murong Xue said. Then her eyes suddenly brightened, “how about opening a yogurt shop in the capital?”
“Nice idea.” Ouyang Shaochen nodded gently. The yogurt tasted very good and was not as heavy as cow’s milk or goat’s milk, which would certainly be popular.
