Chapter 382: Chapter 0382: Slightly Shy (Third Update)

Dark streaks of black blood stained the floor, corroding it at a visibly rapid rate.

Tang Xin slowly opened her eyes, weakly glancing around. Her Primordial Energy had not recovered, so she lacked even the strength to speak at this moment.

Chu Ge took out a Small Jade Bottle from his bosom, containing just one drop of Spiritual Liquid that he had just refined this morning.

After Tang Xin took the Spiritual Liquid, it didn’t take long for her complexion to regain its usual rosiness, and some strength returned to her as well.

She seemed to remember something, hurriedly grasping Chu Ge’s hand and exclaimed with agitation, "Mr. Chu, please save my father!"

Chu Ge patted her shoulder, "Don’t worry, leave it to me."

An hour passed since the rescue, and the air outside was still murky with poison gas, seemingly even denser than before.

It was as if they were trapped inside Tang’s Villa. Those who were inexperienced were scared and panicking, even Tang Xin was looking anxiously out the window at this moment.

This morning, she was poisoned because she stood in front of the window for too long. Fortunately, upon realizing something was wrong, she immediately closed the window and used an exhaust fan to expel the toxic gas from the room, but some still seeped in.

As a result, the poison gas that flowed into the villa affected the others too, thankfully Mr. Chu was there, otherwise, she would have truly been at fault.

Chu Ge stood before the window, his brow deeply furrowed as he looked at the spreading toxic gas outside.

Tang Haowan also approached him with a worried face, "Mr. Chu, what should we do about the situation outside?"

Today’s weather forecast predicted a third-level wind. Although it was not strong, it was sufficient to disperse the poison gas to various places.

When the time came, it wasn’t just their Tang Family that would suffer, he knew that the people releasing the poison gas outside were targeting them. He didn’t want innocent people to be implicated because of them.

"With the current situation outside, I am the only one who can go out. Call Mr. Shen now and ask him to help prepare some materials, the quicker the better."

Chu Ge discovered that the poison gas seemed to be concentrated over the Tang Family’s Old Mansion, not spreading outward, as if a large basin had been filled in the air above. However, once this basin’s toxicity reached saturation, the poison would begin to spread outward, and more people would be affected.

Tang Haowan quickly nodded and dialed Shen Wei Qian on his mobile phone.

At this moment, Shen Wei Qian was immersed in the joy of his wife waking up, and was quite startled to receive Tang Haowan’s call.

To be honest, he had once sincerely treated Tang Haowan as a true brother. Since the unpleasant events occurred, their relationship had completely broken.

Only now, with their differences resolved, the fraternal bond they once shared had returned. The discord of the past years seemed like a trial for both, making them cherish the brotherhood between them even more.

Now that Tang Haowan was in trouble, Shen Wei Qian naturally went all out to address the situation.

After hanging up the phone, he instructed his eldest son, Shen Xianli, "Follow this recipe and prepare these materials as quickly as possible, ideally within half an hour,"

He looked at the list, all items the Shen Family possessed, save for a few rare ones for which they needed to check inventory availability immediately.

Shen Xianli took the prescription that Shen Wei Qian gave him and started to prepare the ingredients. However, he was somewhat bemused when he saw the mix of items listed, as he had some medical knowledge but had never seen such a random assortment of ingredients. He had no idea what they were intended to treat.

Meanwhile, on a rooftop not far from the Tang’s Villa, stood a man in a black trench coat. He wore a black hat, beneath which lay a face partially obscured by a silver mask. His eyes were narrowed, unblinkingly fixated in the direction of the Tang’s Villa.

He had clearly seen Chu Ge and Tang Haowan enter the poison formation he had set up, yet they seemed to be unharmed.

It seemed that this Chu Ge truly had some skill.

But what of it?

You are still trapped in my poison formation. In just one hour, in one more hour, you will all perish. The poison will break through the formation and begin to spread slowly over the entire Su City, transforming it into a city of death, a veritable hell on earth!

The Ghost Poison Sect Master stood high above, a sly smile slowly forming on his lips as he felt a breeze, "The wind has started to blow at last, heaven is on my side!"

At the same time, Chu Ge also discovered the secret of the poison. It appeared to be mere poison, but in reality, someone had set up an Eight Trigrams Array above, and the denser the poison in the array, the more it indicated that the formation was sealing tighter. Once the poison reached saturation, it would also break through the formation and disperse in all directions.

Chu Ge slightly narrowed his eyes. Although the formation within a formation seemed to be sealing, the person using it seemed not to have fully grasped its secrets, and thus the poison was not accumulating as quickly as it could have.

"Mr. Chu, the sky is getting darker and darker. Are we going to die here?"

Exhausted, Nangong Man Sha came over to Chu Ge. Although she was not deeply poisoned, she also inhaled a bit of miasma. Fortunately, she had the Spiritual Liquid given to her by Chu Ge; after taking one, it temporarily controlled the spread of the poison.

Chu Ge glanced sideways and saw that Nangong Man Sha’s forehead was covered in sweat, and her complexion had also turned much paler.

"Are you okay?"

Chu Ge asked. He had been busy saving those who were severely injured and had forgotten to check on her.

Nangong Man Sha gave him an annoyed look, but the look was clearly weaker than intended, and she laughed lightly, "I’m fine, nothing serious. I just took one of the Spiritual Liquid pills you gave me before, so I can still withstand it."

Nangong Man Sha also had her meridians closed. Although some were opened, the vast majority were still closed.

Chu Ge didn’t say much else and directly grabbed her arm, placing his large hand over her small one. A stream of True Qi began to flow slowly into her body.

At first, Nangong Man Sha didn’t understand what Chu Ge wanted to do, but when he suddenly took her hand, she got a little nervous and tried to pull away. However, he was holding tightly, and she couldn’t escape.

Feeling a warm current entering her body, Nangong Man Sha felt the fatigue in her body gradually diminish until she couldn’t feel any tiredness at all, letting out a long breath of turbid air.

The oppressive feeling in her chest was also released, she laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly, "Thank you, Mr. Chu. I thought I was going to die here."

Though it was said in jest, Chu Ge couldn’t help but reach out, placing his index finger lightly on her lips and hushed her gently, "Don’t worry, with me here, nothing will happen."

The sun was shining brightly outside, but the Tang’s villa was enveloped by a dark mist, effectively blocking out the sunlight.

Inside the Tang’s Villa, the darkness was so thick that one could barely see, and naturally, Chu Ge did not see Nangong Man Sha’s bashful blushing...
