Chapter 226: Chapter 185 - A Pair of CP (First Update)_1

"Mu Lin!"

Everyone was shocked. How could she just... swallow it... just like that... other than these words, everyone’s mind suddenly went blank.

Mu Lin, what on earth are you doing? If you want to die, there are more dignifying ways to do so. Was it worth it?

"Quickly spit it out." Looking at Mu Lin, Jing Youlan, who had just come back to his senses, grabbed Mu Lin’s shoulders so fiercely that his hands trembled noticeably.

Unfortunately, Mu Lin only responded with a smile, "I’ve already swallowed it, can’t spit it out." Her nose wrinkled slightly, the thing might look nice, but it certainly didn’t taste good.

Jing Youlan sank back to his seat in disbelief, "How could this happen?" If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have let her hold that pill. Who would’ve thought she would swallow it without a second thought.

That was a lethal poison! Is she suicidal?

Jing Youlan was thinking, if Mu Lin ever got hurt here, would his brother sweep this place clean? Or would he go after the drug dealer’s lair first? Two possible outcomes occupied his mind.

In just a moment, Yang Yuebin and a few others were already surrounding Mu Lin, "Mu Lin (Little Mu Mu)." Why on earth would she swallow that thing? Didn’t we already tell her how dangerous it was?

"Divine Doctor Mu, are you...are you okay?" Looking at Mu Lin, Zhang Chen’s words were filled with cautiousness, his eyes stayed fixated on Mu Lin’s face.

He had heard that the effects of this thing were instantaneous once consumed. Was Mu Lin...really unscathed? At least give us a sign!

With her eyes gently closed, Mu Lin’s forehead barely wrinkled. This made everyone’s hearts jump to their throats as they watched anxiously.

Finally, Mu Lin opened her eyes, yet the first thing she said was, "The taste is really bad, not to my liking." It was truly awful.

"Thump, thump, thump", several sounds echoed; upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, some people slipped and fell to the ground without hesitation.

Good lord, wasn’t her reaction a bit too...normal?

Wait, is this really the right time to be complaining about the taste?

...

Upon hearing the noise, Mu Lin turned her head and saw the anxious looks on everyone’s faces. She smiled and reassured them, "Don’t worry, I’m immune to this. There was a plant ingredient I didn’t recognize, so I figured, why not..." why not have a taste.

However, before she could finish speaking, she was met with a flurry of scolding.

"How could you, Mu Lin? Can’t you see the danger? How could you just swallow it like that? We were terrified, don’t you know that? What are we supposed to do if something really happened to you?" Amidst the rushing flow of anger, Ye Xiwen’s eyes shimmered with tears. This was the first time she had ever raised her voice at Mu Lin, and Yue Qiao and the others around them were also brimming with blame.

They were scared out of their minds just now.

Mu Lin was taken aback at their words, then the corners of her mouth curled up into a slight smile. The coldness in her eyes was replaced with warmth as she reached out to pat Ye Xiwen’s head, "I’m sorry I scared you." Then she told everyone else around her, "Don’t worry, I’m fine." This wasn’t the first time she had done something like this; besides, "I was basically raised in medicinal potions by my master, I’m immune to most poisons, ordinary stuff can’t harm me."

"Besides, these things are barely potent enough to be classified as poison, it can’t harm me." Mu Lin radiated an audacious confidence and disdain for the substance.

"Even so, you cannot do this again in the future." Jing Youlan got up and looked at Mu Lin, "Do you know, if anything happens to you, how am I going to explain it to my brother? He would kill me." Where on earth would he find a sister-in-law as capable and beautiful as Mu Lin, and a military doctor with such superior medical skills to serve Ying Sun?

His older brother would go insane.

Jing Youlan couldn’t even begin to imagine. If his older brother really went mad, who in the world could stop him? Even their grandpa might not be able to; in Jing Youlan’s mind, the only person who could restrain his older brother effortlessly was Mu Lin.

Facing the reproachful looks and harsh words from everyone, Mu Lin had never experienced anything like this before and for a moment didn’t know how to respond, but ultimately managed a dumbfounded nod, and said, "Okay." There was an adorably bemused expression on her face.
