Chapter 363: Chapter 0363: Cured Directly

"It’s too late, too late," Zhou Grandfather regretfully closed his eyes. Had he known that Zhou Xianren and his son were such heartless, merciless scoundrels, he would have definitely agreed to Tang Ming’s terms without hesitation, but now...

"I always keep my word. Rest assured, you won’t die." Tang Ming released the old man’s pulse point, feeling quite agitated, "I don’t know what the old man has gone through recently to cause such a severe outbreak of poison in his body. It seems he has also taken medication that overspends life force — poison upon poison. Even a detoxification pill can’t save him, but I can."

Although a detoxification pill could neutralize many poisons, the old man’s current physical condition was more complicated than just being poisoned. The poison had penetrated his bones and meridians. Saving his life required someone to draw out these poisons, and Tang Ming’s poison skills were precisely up to this task, and refining the intense poison in the old gentleman’s body would greatly benefit him too.

"Tang, Mr. Tang, can you really save my father?" Zhou Xianyi looked at Tang Ming excitedly, "If you can save my father’s life, I, I will bow down to you."

"Don’t be like that," Tang Ming quickly stopped Zhou Xianyi, smiling as he spoke, "Zhou Dafu and I are friends, helping him is what I should do. You all should step outside!"

"What, what are you going to do?" Zhou Xiaoqian watched Tang Ming warily.

"Show some respect! If Ming bro says he can save him, then he absolutely can," Zhou Dafu quickly turned to Zhou Xiaoqian. He fully trusted Tang Ming and said without hesitation, "Everyone, please step outside, and leave it to Ming bro."

Soon after, Zhou Dafu and his family all left the room and closed the door.

"Young friend, can you, can you really still save me?" Seeing Tang Ming so confident, Zhou Grandfather also became excited.

"Of course, don’t speak. I will help you expel the poison and heal," Tang Ming said with a slight smile, then laid the old man’s body flat and raised his hands to begin his cultivation.

Watching a layer of black gang qi appear on Tang Ming’s palms, Zhou Grandfather widened his eyes in disbelief and exclaimed, "You, you’re already a one-star martial master?"

Tang Ming just smiled faintly, without responding, and quickly moved his hands over the old man’s body, first gathering all the poison inside the elder’s body into one place with true qi, and then absorbing it into his own body...

Zhou Dafu and his group stood anxiously waiting in the courtyard. During that period, Mrs. Zhou wanted to initiate conversation with Zhou Dafu several times, but she hesitated to start.

In times of distress, true feelings show. After this incident, Mrs. Zhou had begun to accept Zhou Dafu, this illegitimate son who stood by his husband in times of crisis; at least Zhou Xianyi wouldn’t be left alone in difficult times like the other sons of Zhou Grandfather.

An hour later, the door opened, and Tang Ming came out with a smile on his face.

"Ming bro, how did it go?" Zhou Dafu rushed up immediately.

Zhou Xianyi’s family of three also looked at Tang Ming nervously.

"It’s done. The old man is all right now. As long as he recuperates properly for a while, not only will his injuries heal, but his cultivation will also recover," Tang Ming said with a slight smile, delivering the news that made Zhou Xianyi’s family cry with joy.

Zhou Xianyi and others quickly rushed into the room to visit the old man, and indeed saw Zhou Grandfather looking rosy-faced and significantly improved.

Zhou Grandfather solemnly gave Zhou Xianyi an order to immediately treat Zhou Dafu and his mother well at home and warned Mrs. Zhou not to mistreat Zhou’s mother and Zhou Dafu. Then he fell asleep.

Throughout these days, he had been tormented by poison pain, and it had been too long since he had slept well.

Zhou Xianyi naturally hoped to bring Zhou Dafu and his son back to his home, and at this moment, Mrs. Zhou dared not utter a word of complaint.

The recovery of the old master was too crucial for them and for the Zhou Family, and all of this was thanks to Tang Ming. Merely the relationship between Zhou Dafu and Tang Ming was enough to keep Mrs. Zhou from speaking out.

At this moment, what Mrs. Zhou was most grateful for was having a good daughter. If it were not for Zhou Xiaoqian, who constantly cared about Zhou Dafu and had not heeded her warning to discriminate against him, then just with what Zhou Dafu did today, she, the original wife, might have been discarded.

After settling the Zhou Family’s affairs, Tang Ming left the Zhou Family with Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli.

The two women, full of grievances, did not intend to return home directly. Having just finished their stressful midterm exams, they wanted to shop explosively to relax their minds.

For Tang Ming, it didn’t matter because he was also in a good mood. After devouring the strong poison inside the old master’s body, his cultivation had advanced directly to the peak of a one-star martial master.

This was due to a poison, strengthened by the lifelong compression and resistance of a martial master’s true qi, which ultimately exhausted the martial master to death, its toxicity not inferior to the Myriad Poison Pill of the Poison Sect.

Having tasted the benefits, Tang Ming began scheming in his heart: if the poison evident in the old master’s body was already so formidable, then the extreme poison integrated with the martial master’s Gang Qi in Ma Tong’s body must be even more severe. He thought he should take a chance to acquire the poison from Ma Tong as well.

Poison, something that instills fear in countless people, had now become something Tang Ming was desperately seeking to ingest—an aberration indeed!

Tang Ming and his companions joyously roamed the streets, oblivious that their neighbors were stirring up trouble once again.

After moving out of the Zhou Family, Zhou Xianren’s first choice of residence was naturally the villa where Wang Zhiling lived.

Although the villa was registered under Wang Zhiling’s name, it was Yue who had bought it; since Wang Zhiling was his woman, it naturally became Zhou Xianren’s new home.

After several days of business, Zhou Xianren had stealthily transferred his assets to Wang Zhiling’s villa.

The previously spacious villa suddenly became enriched with various antiques, calligraphies, paintings, and valuable items filling the house.

"Husband, you should have left the Zhou Family long ago. Isn’t this much better, all the money is ours now," Wang Zhiling squatting on the floor, while stuffing jewelry, cash, and other valuable items into the safe, couldn’t help but smile with glee.

"Vulgar," Zhou Haotian remarked disdainfully from the couch. Seeing this mistress successfully replacing his own mother, he was very upset but could do nothing, after all, his birth mother had already passed away.

"Zhiling is right. Over the years, I’ve taken a good number of valuable things from the Zhou Family. Previously I had to be secretive, but now I can finally do it openly." Zhou Xianren poured himself a glass of red wine, delightedly watching the busy Wang Zhiling. It had been a long time since he saw such an enchanting charm emit from Wang Zhiling.

"Husband, I want to buy a dog, a really fierce one," Wang Zhiling, while busy, said expectantly: "Now that we have so many valuable things, it would be over if a thief broke in. We must get a fierce dog to guard our home."
