Chapter 950: Chapter 950: Worse than Death (3)

These dozen or so people were none other than the thieves who, under Fan Meijiao’s instructions, had sneaked into the Mo Family in the dead of night with the intent to ruin Mo Yan’s reputation.

Xiao Ruiyuan, with Sharp Sword in hand, watched coldly as the thieves continuously rolled on the ground, howling in pain. If it were not for the sake of Mo Yan’s plan, he would have sent these people to their deaths long ago.

Mo Yan changed into a neat set of clothes and then opened the door of the small hall to walk into the courtyard. Although she had anticipated that the thieves meeting their fate at the hands of Xiao Ruiyuan would be a sorry sight, seeing their miserable state with her own eyes still felt exceedingly terrifying.

Their agony not only stemmed from the fresh blood streaming out but also from the numerous centipedes crawling over them, biting them now and then. Even without experiencing it personally, she could imagine the excruciating sensation.

"You’re awake?" Seeing Mo Yan, a flash of surprise crossed Xiao Ruiyuan’s face; he clearly had not expected Mo Yan to wake up so quickly.

Mo Yan, unaware that she had been hit with a sleeping acupoint, and focusing on the thieves on the ground, did not notice Xiao Ruiyuan’s astonishment and nodded, asking, "What did you do to them to attract so many centipedes?"

Since the Mo Family resided at the edge of the mountains, it was common to encounter snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Centipedes were rare medicinal herbs, and Mo Yan, who had personally caught them before, was not afraid. Her concern was that these creatures might enter the house and harm people. She often scattered some Pest Repellent Powder in the corners of the walls. Normally, the centipedes should not have appeared in the house.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruiyuan took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom and poured some more powder on the wounds of each thief.

Seeing this, Mo Yan guessed that the powder was unusual. Indeed, the centipedes, as if stimulated, became increasingly active on the thieves’ bodies, biting even more fiercely.

The dozen or so thieves were howling due to the centipedes’ bites. If it weren’t for their youthful resilience, being bitten so many times might have caused them to faint from pain. In such a case, fainting might actually be for the better.

Mo Yan took the medicine bottle Xiao Ruiyuan handed to her and sniffed. She could identify the ingredients of several medicines, but to concoct it, she would either have to put in effort or ask Doctor Du for assistance.

Putting the medicine bottle that didn’t belong to her into her belongings with serenity, Mo Yan then took out another bottle from her waist and said to Xiao Ruiyuan, "If we keep this up, these men won’t be in any shape to deal with Fan Meijiao. Let’s stop here for today."

Xiao Ruiyuan nodded slightly and sheathed Sharp Sword. If these men weren’t of use to him, he would have killed them one by one without hesitation. At this point, their fate was hardly better than death.

There would be more days to come, and this debt would be slowly settled in the future!

Mo Yan, holding the medicine bottle, walked up to the thieves and sprinkled some specially concocted notoginseng powder on their ghastly wounds to stop the bleeding. Then, she forced their mouths open and stuffed a brown pill into each of their mouths.

Seeing that their wounds stopped bleeding and the pain lessened, the thieves thought Mo Yan was a saint-like good person and eagerly swallowed the pills.

Mo Yan had never seen anyone take poison so willingly. When it was almost time for the drug to take effect, her face showed a trace of malicious smile, "Do you feel a heat in your belly now? Like strands of thread passing through your internal organs, tightly weaving a burning sensation inside and out?"

The thieves felt it, and indeed, just as Mo Yan described, their abdomens began to heat up. However, they mistook it for the pill taking effect and did not panic.

Seeing this, the corners of Mo Yan’s mouth turned up more and more. It seemed the pills worked on everyone after all, making her three years of research in Space worth the effort. She had designed it specifically for this group of people.
