Chapter 397 Don't Covet My Daughter!
Standing before them was none other than Luo Jin. He leaned lazily against a tree, his gaze drifting over at the sound of their approach.
His eyes, filled with a captivating charm, sparkled like peach blossoms, giving him a handsome appearance. Seeing Zhouzhou, he curved his lips into a smile, "Little girl, we meet again."
Jinbao's tail flicked suddenly, covering its own eyes with an expression of disdain. This former caretaker was about to deceive the child again.
He always wore that look whenever he was up to no good! With a swift motion, Jinbao moved its tail to cover Zhouzhou's eyes. If she couldn't see him, she wouldn't be fooled.
Wan Leng immediately pulled Zhouzhou behind him, casting a warning glance at Luo Jin. Without uttering a word, he started to lead Zhouzhou away.
Luo Jin made no move to stop them, his smile deepening. Since she had willingly walked into the lion's den, he wouldn't hold back.
Wangcai, irritated by Wan Leng's slow pace, let out an "awooh" and crouched down, glancing back at Zhouzhou. She understood instantly, clambering onto Wangcai's back with Jinbao quickly hopping onto her shoulder.
Wangcai cast a disdainful glance at Jinbao but said nothing, barking excitedly as it dashed forward.
Seated on Wangcai's back, Zhouzhou observed her surroundings. Indeed, they were on an island, sparsely populated, with few but notably large houses. Within these houses, she could vaguely perceive glows of virtue.
Zhouzhou stared in wonder, never having seen so much virtue light in one place. Jinbao, even more, exhilarated, sniffed the air joyfully, feeling like it had returned to a prosperous haven.
Wangcai, familiar with the island from his upbringing despite roaming wild for half a year, soon recalled the paths.
It led Zhouzhou to a particular room. Hearing the noise, Chen Tuo turned around, his eyes lighting up at the sight of Zhouzhou.
"Master Zhou, you're here! Come quickly and check on the boss." He hurriedly stepped aside to make way.
Zhouzhou jumped off Wangcai's back, noticing a group of people inside, all curiously watching her.
Wen Jing stepped forward immediately, "What do you need me to do?"
"Help me brew a medicine. I'll recite the formula; you write it down."
So there was a solution after all? Wen Jing's eyes sparkled as she pulled out a notebook, "Go ahead."
"Scutellaria, coptis, indigo..." Zhouzhou listed the ingredients.
Wen Jing jotted them down, then hesitated, "Why such large quantities?"
Each ingredient amounted to over a pound, seemingly for multiple doses. Zhouzhou shook her head, "Brew them all and have a sharp tongue Daddy soak in it. Let's see if it can draw out the poison."
At least partially, if not entirely. Wen Jing, trusting Zhouzhou's superior medical skills, asked no further questions and went to prepare the medicine.
Zhao Xinghua watched Zhouzhou in amazement. She truly was adept at medicine. His curiosity deepened.
Wen Jing worked swiftly, soon returning with the prepared medicine. Zhouzhou, having just removed the needles, instructed Chen Tuo to place Ye Lingfeng in the medicinal bath.
Instead of leaving, she stood on a stool, pressing her fingers from his Quchi point to his Dazhui point repeatedly before lightly slicing his fingertip with a blade. Black, viscous blood oozed out.
Chen Tuo quickly brought a basin to catch it. Only when the blood turned a normal color did Zhouzhou apply a hemostatic pill, crushed and sprinkled on the wound. By then, Ye Lingfeng's face had regained some color.
Watching Zhouzhou's hemostatic pill in action, Zhao Xinghua squinted thoughtfully. Months ago, Ye Lingfeng had demonstrated the efficacy of a similar pill, leading them to mass-produce it.
How did she have it? Was the formula originally from her? If so, not just Qi Hua but even he would want to recruit this talented girl. Skilled in martial arts, metaphysics, and medicine, she was invaluable anywhere.
As these thoughts filled his mind, Ye Lingfeng, sensing the intensity of Zhao Xinghua's gaze, slowly opened his eyes and, meeting Zhao's eyes directly, weakly but firmly declared, "Don't covet my daughter!"
