Chapter 377: Chapter 271 - Mu Lin’s Patience (Third Update)_2
The poison was indeed very sinister, much harsher than any she would ever use. At least, Mu Lin wouldn’t stoop to disfigure anyone, unless they really had it coming.
Mu Lin walked to the side of the bed, her hand reached out to draw Yang Hao’s arm from the quilt, her sleeve pulled up, her pupils shrinking slightly.
Just as she suspected.
Her fingertips gently touched Yang Hao’s wrist, and the corners of her mouth curved deeper, "If I’m not mistaken, there’s no antidote for this poison." At least, she didn’t think that the Red Scorpion had the ability to concoct such a sophisticated antidote.
Mu Lin deduced this based on her previous encounters with the Red Scorpion.
"What did you say!" Upon hearing this, Black Scorpion looked at Mu Lin in disbelief, closely followed by feelings of helplessness and panic. He turned around and tightly grasped Yang Hao’s arm, for the first time experiencing a sense of total disarray.
Even the Poison Doctor claimed there was no antidote, so... could it be possible that Red Scorpion had one? To be honest, Black Scorpion didn’t believe so.
Looking at the disappointment and desolation in Black Scorpion’s eyes, Mu Lin was still calm and continued, "What’s the rush? I haven’t finished yet."
Mu Lin might not realize, her leisurely rhythm can push others to the edge of madness sometimes.
"Although there is no antidote for this poison, it won’t kill you," Mu Lin continued, and Black Scorpion finally looked up again, seemingly relieved. But the very next moment, that sigh of relief was stopped short by Mu Lin, "While it won’t kill you, for a woman, being afflicted with this kind of poison is pretty much a living nightmare."
"As I’ve said earlier, Yang Hao is going to get really ugly, the kind of ugliness that makes life unbearable." It might even be said that she would become beyond recognition.
"I don’t care." Hearing this, Black Scorpion turned to look at Yang Hao, pulling her hand to his lips to kiss it, "As long as she is still alive, I don’t care about anything else." In Black Scorpion’s eyes, Yang Hao was always the most beautiful one. The word ’ugly’ would never be used to describe his girl.
"But what about Yang Hao?" Mu Lin asked. "Could she really accept herself in that state? Staying indoors all the time won’t be possible, society wouldn’t allow it; but the pointing and whispers from strangers outside might be too much for her."
"I don’t know." Black Scorpion shook his head. Although he said it, he already knew in his heart what Yang Hao might become, and he dared not even think about it.
"That’s why I told you not to rush." Mu Lin had a way of leaving people feeling helpless, "Although I said there’s no antidote, that doesn’t mean I can’t neutralize the poison." After all, she is the Poison Doctor.
While she couldn’t neutralize every poison, she could definitely handle this one.
Thinking about recent events, Mu Lin found it strange; all the "masterpieces" the Red Scorpion had proudly exhibited were left over from her experiments. These poisons were all things she had seen in Mu Jue’s books. Inspired by curiosity, she studied each poison one by one. The truth was, Mu Lin found poisons far more intriguing than traditional medicine.
Mu Lin remembered that there were a total of four volumes of that ancient book. One of them has been missing for a long time. Could it be...?
Either it was lost, or one of those volumes ended up in the hands of that organization...then, her Master’s circumstances were certainly linked to them.
It seemed that her investigations were heading in the right direction.
Black Scorpion didn’t know what Mu Lin was thinking, or why her face suddenly changed. All he knew was that Mu Lin said she could neutralize the poison.
He abruptly stood up, his eyes fixed intently on Mu Lin. If he didn’t know that the person in his heart was the girl lying on the bed, Jing Chen might really think that Black Scorpion had taken a fancy to Linlin.
If that happened, he would kill him for it.
"You don’t have to stare at me like that." Feeling somewhat unnerved by his stare, Mu Lin looked at Black Scorpion. "Let me be honest with you; even if it wasn’t for you, I would still save Yang Hao." Given her previous ’help in a tight spot’ and their common destiny, Mu Lin would never stand by and ignore a person in need.
"Thank you." Either way, Black Scorpion felt that he should say thank you, whether on his own behalf or Yang Hao’s. He couldn’t have imagined that his girl, an ordinary girl in the world, would actually know the legendary Poison Doctor, and even be appreciated by Mu Lin. But it was likely that she was unaware of her own status.
Without uttering a word, Mu Lin pulled out a small porcelain bottle from her bag, selected a pill and inserted it into Yang Hao’s mouth. She then looked at Black Scorpion, "Relax, this poison may be troublesome for you, but for me, it’s really nothing." She didn’t even need to prepare the antidote for it.
"She should be awake in a while," said Mu Lin, and Black Scorpion finally let out a sigh of relief. He hadn’t expected it to be so simple. After pausing, Mu Lin continued, her eyes revealing a rare seriousness, "I have a few questions to ask you."
