Chapter 169 Poisonous Lady

 This way of repaying the favor was decided by the poisonous lady herself and has nothing to do with Gu Xi.

In other words, regardless of whether Gu Xi accepts it or not, she will repay the favor.

Gu Xi was forced to accept the poisonous lady's repayment, arranged a small courtyard for her to live in, and made a request to her to teach some basic poison knowledge to the children in Nianci Hall.

The poisonous lady reluctantly accepted this condition.

Therefore, Granny Li usually deals with the poisonous lady, but this is the first time that Gu Xi takes the initiative to look for her.

The poisonous lady is also called Hui Niang. Her name sounds like a good woman, but unfortunately she is poisonous.

"Hui Niang, the master is here and wants to see you. Come out quickly."

Aunt Li took Gu Xi to Huiniang's yard, and she stopped Gu Xi when she was still ten meters away from the entrance of the yard.

She no longer stepped forward, but raised her voice and shouted inward.

Because Huiniang’s yard was filled with all kinds of poisonous weeds, poisonous flowers, and poisonous insects. She couldn’t walk more than a meter before she collapsed. It was bad luck. Poisonous Lady didn’t save her in time, and her life might have been lost.

After Nanny Li finished shouting, it took a while before the innermost room in the yard opened.

A tall, slender woman wearing a red outfit with a ghost-like complexion but painted eyebrows walked out of it.

"Hey, it's the master, you're a rare visitor. If anything happens, it's the critical time for me to prepare the pills. Don't bother me with trivial matters." Huiniang looked at Gu Xi impatiently.

Although she calls her "Master Gu Xi", her attitude is not respectful at all.

"Hui Niang, this is the master, you..." Nanny Li looked unhappy and wanted to remind Hui Niang to pay attention to her attitude.

"Mommy, it's okay." Gu Xi smiled at Nanny Li and shook her head, asking her to go do other things. She had to deal with Hui Niang alone if she had anything to do.

After hearing this, Grandma Li obeyed and left.

"Let's go and talk in your yard." Gu Xi said.

"Master, my yard is not that easy to enter. Do you really dare to enter?"

Huiniang raised her eyebrows and looked at the beautiful woman in front of her. She felt that she seemed different from the last time she met her. Her aura was something that should not be underestimated.

"Why don't you dare? I've been poisoned, so you can just leave it alone." Gu Xi smiled lazily, stepped out before her, and walked towards the yard.

"You are brave, I like it." Hui Niang smiled sinisterly, "If I hadn't taken a liking to your toughness, I wouldn't have agreed to stay here for a year."

Gu Xi looked at her speechlessly.

I didn't want her repayment at the beginning. It was obvious that she wanted to stay by force.

Gu Xi once suspected that she was being hunted and had nowhere to go, so she took the opportunity to hide here.

Even if you get a bargain, you still behave well.

But Gu Xi didn't bother to expose her.

"I thought I wouldn't see you before I left. If you didn't come before, you didn't appreciate my ability to use poison."

The poisonous lady stared at Gu Xi very unkindly and even opened up old scores.

"It's not that I don't like it, it's that I don't have any use for it." Gu Xi said lazily, "If I don't look for you, of course I don't need it, because I don't want to poison anyone, and no one around me will be harmed."

Huiniang clicked her tongue twice. Although she didn't say anything, she showed regret. Then she asked excitedly,

"Then who do you want to poison when you come here today? I have just recently developed a new poison, but it has not been tried on people yet. You have a target and just use it."

Gu Xi shook his head, "I'm not here to poison people, I'm here to detoxify and save people."

"It's boring!" Hui Niang rolled her eyes immediately and asked half-heartedly, "Who should I save?"

"The old lady of Zhongyihou Mansion." Gu Xi said.

"Oh." Hui Niang later realized that this person was Gu Xi's grandmother, but looking at her unhurried look, she knew that the relationship between ancestors and grandchildren was not good.

The two of them had already entered the yard. Gu Xi looked around curiously, then pointed to a cultivated field and asked,

"Are all the poisonous weeds growing here?"

"Yes, these are all the treasures I have planted this year. When I leave, I will take them with me."

Hui Niang looked at these poisonous weeds with a gentle expression.

"Hey, that's not right. Why don't you fall down?" Hui Niang suddenly stared at Gu Xi and asked in disbelief.

It had been a long time since the two of them entered the yard. Not only did this man not feel any discomfort, he was also laughing and chatting with her in a relaxed manner.

Just as Gu Xi was about to speak, she suddenly felt a pain in her ankle. She looked down and saw that a small jade snake as thick as a finger had bitten her.

The little snake didn't run away even after it bit her. It coiled itself around her ankle, held its head high, and spat a message at her.

Gu Xi took this as a provocation, bent down, pulled it off expressionlessly, and flicked its small snake head with her fingers.

She had a lot of strength, but she didn't hold back much of her strength. With this flick, the little snake suddenly became dizzy and almost fainted as she shook her head.

Hui Niang looked at Gu Xi as if she had seen a ghost, was stunned for a moment, and quickly rescued the little snake from her hands.

"My Bamboo Leaf Green is a highly poisonous thing. You were bitten by it, but nothing happened!"

Huiniang stared at Gu Xi as if she were a little monster, wanting to see through her.

"I took the detoxification pills in advance." Gu Xi glanced at the little jade snake and explained casually,

"It seems that the medicine is very effective and can resist the poison in your yard."

She took three detoxification pills and became invulnerable to all poisons, so she was naturally not afraid.

The little jade snake seemed to be very spiritual. Gu Xi took a look at it and seemed to be frightened by her. He immediately hid it in the poisonous lady's sleeve, leaving the tip of its tail dangling outside.

Gu Xi glanced at its tail again and thought that this little snake was quite cute.

I want to grab its tail and lift it up.

"What kind of detoxification pill is so effective!" Lady Poison didn't believe it.

"I'll give you one. You can study it. If you can study it thoroughly and get some more, I'll pay you." Gu Xi said,

"This stuff is precious. There are only a few pills in total. If you take three pills, you will be immune to all poisons. If you take one pill, you will be able to eliminate hundreds of poisons."

Gu Xi poured one pill from the medicine bottle and gave it to Lady Poison.

The poisonous lady took it in surprise. After some hesitation, she crushed the pill and put it in her mouth to taste a little.

After a while, she learned that most of the drugs contained in the detoxification pills.

But there were several types, but she couldn't decide what they were.

This made Huiniang's doubts even more serious. She couldn't wait to go back to her room, close the door and study it carefully.

"There is no rush for this detoxification pill. You have plenty of time to study it. First, help me find out what kind of poison is in this pastry. Can you detoxify it?"

Gu Xi took out the wrapped cake and handed it to Lady Poison.

To be honest, Gu Xi was reluctant to give the antidote pills given by the system to the old lady.

The system gave me ten pills without a prescription, so they are extremely precious.

If Poison Lady can detoxify this poison, that would be great, and you can save an antidote pill.
