Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046: The Way to Cure with One Arrow and Three Eagles

At this moment, only Wu Nuan remained motionless in the room.

"I want to stay. Besides, part of the reason Ah Dao ended up like this is my responsibility. I cannot shirk it."

Hearing this, Mr. Dan He seemed to have realized something astonishing, his eyes widening.

"You... you..."

Having practiced medicine for many years, he naturally recognized Ah Dao’s current symptoms. He had previously worried about where to find a solution, but now it seemed the answer had presented itself.

Mr. Dan He pulled Wu Nuan directly to his side: "No harm in telling you all — Ah Dao’s current condition is complicated. Presumably, he was poisoned while helping you by neutralizing the Python Poison, which caused him to infect himself with this venom. The Python Love Poison is incurable by any known means. Furthermore, it’s a wonder Ah Dao escaped death in the first place. However, even with his formidable physique, he’s still made of flesh and blood. I can only use acupuncture to suppress the residual poison, but ultimately, the only lasting cure requires the sharing of marital intimacy to gradually digest and eliminate the poison over time."

"?" Bai Junjun froze, utterly baffled: "What do you mean?"

The words made sense individually, but together they turned incomprehensible.

Wu Nuan, on the other hand, picked up immediately: "You’re saying that if I join in marital relations with him, I can transfer the poison out of his body?"

"Yes... and no." Mr. Dan He shook his head cryptically.

"Then what exactly do you mean?" Even Li Wenli found himself thrown off by the explanation.

"The residual poison has already seeped into Ah Dao’s bones and blood. Transferring it completely would be very difficult. But by sharing marital intimacy, the two of you can share the burden of the poison. Afterward, I can apply acupuncture, and within three to five months, the venom should be entirely expelled."

Seeing the confusion in their faces, Mr. Dan He decided to explain further in simple terms. This time, the three finally understood.

Wu Nuan remained composed, but Bai Junjun and Li Wenli now regarded her with a newfound curiosity.

Although Ah Dao had done Wu Nuan a great service, and it wasn’t unreasonable for Wu Nuan to sacrifice herself to save him, this kind of act was no different than becoming an emotionless and fleeting lover. For an ordinary woman, it would amount to the ultimate dishonor — deserving of being drowned in a pig cage under traditional norms.

Wu Nuan pressed her lips together and, without overthinking, blurted out, "I agree."

"Absolutely not."

Just as Wu Nuan agreed resolutely, a loud voice rang out from outside.

Everyone turned their heads to see Manager Qiao, Wu Nuan’s uncle, entering the room.

He paid no attention to exchanging pleasantries with Bai Junjun and Li Wenli and strode straight up to Wu Nuan, pulling her protectively behind him.

"There must be another way to cure Ah Dao’s poisoning. Mr. Dan He, please don’t make things difficult for my niece."

Mr. Dan He awkwardly stroked his beard: "This method is the most effective. As for other methods... they are... difficult, extremely difficult."

"Uncle, please don’t stop me. I am entirely willing." Wu Nuan remained calm, her tone serious and full of determination.

"You foolish girl, what would this make you? And how would you live with yourself in the future?" Wu Qiao’s anguish was palpable. Wu Nuan had put herself forward to compete for the title of Saintess in the first place to improve their lives. It was because of this competition that she fell victim to Wu Yunlan’s underhanded schemes and ended up in her current predicament.

Yet even so, they would still have to survive in the Ownerless Land in the future. If she truly went through with treating Ah Dao this way, how would she face herself in the days to come? How would others view her? A young woman’s reputation could not be destroyed in such a manner.

"Actually... there’s another solution." Just as the uncle and niece were at an impasse, Li Wenli quietly raised his hand.

"Ah Dao is a fine man, and Wu Nuan is a virtuous and clever woman. From every angle, they seem like a match made in heaven. Since even fate seems intent on bringing them together, why not take this opportunity to formalize their union as husband and wife? This way, not only can we cure the poison, but it will protect both of their reputations. Moreover, it would give Manager Qiao an outstanding son-in-law. Isn’t this a perfect resolution that achieves three goals at once?"
