" Put me down, now! Hey, are you even listening?" Xiao Li hit Li You on his chest.Li You mumbled something about a stubborn girl before letting go of her. Closing her eyes and expecting impact with the floor, Xiao Li was surprised when she hit a soft surface.
She opened one eye then the other. She glanced at the bed below her. They had arrived back at the inn. Qia Yun was staring at them, her lips threatening to smile. Xiao Li covered her face, blushing furiously as she got up to explain the situation to Qia Yun.
" Miss! It isn"t what it looks like! Ouch!" Xiao Li winced as she stepped forward.
Qia Yun ran over, supporting Xiao Li as she sat down.
" Nevermind the explanation. You"re injured, that"s why he was carrying you, right?"
Xiao Li nodded her head as she settled down onto the bed. Qia Yun"s face turned serious as she sat down to listen to Xiao Li"s report of Qiang Li"s family.
" Wait! What colour did you say the poison was?"
Her ears immediately perked up, thinking that the poison"s description seemed familiar.
" Kind of milky, also it smells really sweet, overwhelming sweet, "
Oh no
Qia Yun froze, her eyes widened. After a while, she stood up and walked around the room, wringing her wrists. Xiao Li stared at her weird actions for a while, what had happened?

Li You glanced at Qia Yun. As they made eye contact, they both shared a painful smile.
" He"s going to die. It"s supposed to kill you from inside. Poor man, he only has two months to live, "
Xiao Li immediately sat up. Her mouth agape.
" Ow. But... I thought..."
Qia Yun shook her head gently, helping Xiao Li to comfortably rest while sitting up.
" I saw it being added it, I could have stopped him from drinking it! Oh my, I just caused someone"s death. How could I be so stupid?" Xiao Li cried out.
At this moment, Li You who had been silent spoke up, " I mean, it"s not like it"s impossible to cure him..."
Xiao Li glared at him, she had really thought that she killed an innocent man by her ignorance. Li You sighed, he had told her that merely to humour her. Even though there was indeed a cure, it was far too difficult and dangerous to obtain it. This man was as good as dead.
" Well? Hurry, tell me the antidote?"
Biting down on his cheek, Li You realised that he screwed himself over. He scratched his head, looking to Qia Yun to help.
She stared at him curiously, her innocent eyes wanting him to explain.
Li You opened his mouth, before closing it again. To be honest, he knew that these young women would probably go out of their way to save this man. After all, they felt like they had caused Qiang Li"s premature death. He slowly started, hoping to prolong the time before they marched off to their imminent death.
" Basically, we need this very special herb called the Yin herb. It"ll cure him. But, it"s super difficult to find it, much more obtain it, " Li You continued, " you wouldn"t want to look for it. It"s impossible to get your hands on it."
Silence
" We can try."
Li You turned towards Qia Yun, disbelief etched on his face. Xiao Li slowly nodded her head. Since she was unable to prevent Qiang Li from ingesting the poison, the least she could do was to cure him. Qia Yun smiled at Li You, gesturing for him to explain how find the antidote.
