Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower
Chapter 1044: Ah Dao’s Poison Relapse

The remaining poison had already been absorbed and converted into part of Ah Dao’s body. Without the body’s natural rejection mechanism, it was difficult for the Wood-series Ability to extract it—much like a blood transfusion. You can’t just remove the bad blood while leaving the good blood untouched.

If the poison is to be extracted, both good and bad would inevitably be removed, requiring replacement with fresh blood altogether.

Last time, the fox’s toxin was dealt with like this. But she dared to perform such a drastic procedure on the fox because he himself was an exceptionally powerful Special Ability User. Ah Dao, however, had only developed the Agility Ability. For him to endure the body-transforming effects of the Wood-series Ability’s detoxification process, there was a very real risk his body might give out—his meridians could rupture, and so on.

As a result, Bai Junjun didn’t dare attempt it lightly.

But just because she couldn’t do it didn’t mean Dan He couldn’t. After all, he was considered the Divine Doctor of this era. If "modern methods" didn’t work, they still had "traditional methods" to rely on.

Thus, Bai Junjun didn’t hesitate and directly went to knock on Mr. Dan He’s door.

At that moment, Mr. Dan He had been dreaming of playing chess with Hua Tuo, only to be startled awake. His heart nearly leapt out of his chest as he opened his eyes—only to see a water ghost standing before him.

"AHHHHH!!!" Mr. Dan He let out a sharp scream, instantly retreating to the foot of the bed.

Bai Junjun was caught off guard and nearly deafened by the sudden shout.

Her hearing was extremely sensitive, okay? A thunderous scream like this, out of nowhere, could practically kill.

She quickly covered Mr. Dan He’s mouth. "It’s me, it’s me!"

"?" Mr. Dan He widened his eyes in disbelief. "You... you... Junjun? You’re back?"

Bai Junjun nodded. "Finally, you’re fully awake!"

"What happened to you?" Mr. Dan He asked, bewildered.

His apprentice, despite not caring much for makeup or fancy appearances, always managed to look clean and tidy. But now, her hair and clothes were soaking wet, making her look like she’d just climbed out of a river—as if she were an actual water ghost.

Add to that the fact that it was the dead of night, and it couldn’t have been more terrifying.

Bai Junjun awkwardly touched her face, cleared her throat, and said, "Uh... well, let’s talk about this later. Let’s quickly go check on Ah Dao."

"Ah Dao? What happened to him?"

Bai Junjun didn’t answer and directly dragged him toward Ah Dao’s room.

When Mr. Dan He entered Ah Dao’s room, he saw him clinging like a koala to a long-haired beauty at first glance. For a moment, he thought it was a man and a woman. But after looking closer, the long-haired beauty’s slender figure and streamlined musculature revealed an implicit strength. This wasn’t a girl—it was clearly a boy.

Hearing the sound of them entering, the boy turned his head. It was Li Wenli.

Mr. Dan He finally grasped the situation. He was being foolish—Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were practically inseparable! Wherever Bai Junjun showed up, there was no way this boy fox wouldn’t be nearby.

"Hurry and lend a hand!" Li Wenli was already getting frustrated. Seeing backup arrive only for them to stand idly at the doorway made him fume and snap for urgency.

Mr. Dan He regained his focus and examined Ah Dao carefully, noticing right away that something was unusual.

He immediately approached and reached out to check Ah Dao’s pulse.

But Ah Dao wasn’t cooperating—his hands lingered only on Li Wenli’s drenched clothing.

Li Wenli finally lost patience and delivered a swift chop to Ah Dao, knocking him unconscious.

Breathing a sigh of relief, he climbed out of bed. "I’ll leave the rest to you!"

Mr. Dan He stroked his beard, grumbling, "You two are really odd. Coming back in the middle of the night is one thing, but why are you both soaking wet?"
