“Alright, once it’s done, I’ll give you the Purple Golden Flower first!”

Lin Yuxin found its proud expression amusing and said with a laugh.

It really made her feel like she was a stingy landlord from the past.

“Zhi!”

Zhi Zhi responded with a sharp cry, then jumped onto Zhao Yingfeng, ran a quick lap around his body, and finally stopped on his chest, nodding at Lin Yuxin.

Lin Yuxin quickly took out a small knife and made a shallow cut on Zhao Yingfeng’s wrist.

Blood instantly oozed out, but she didn’t dare to stop the bleeding. She could only let it flow.

Then, she watched as Zhi Zhi disappeared into the wound.

Lin Yuxin immediately picked up the teapot on the table, washed it with spring water from her spatial dimension, and collected the blood flowing from Zhao Yingfeng.

She didn’t want to waste it—it might still be useful later!

She waited quietly.

This was her first time asking Zhi Zhi for help in detoxification, and she had no idea how long it would take.

Originally, she wanted to develop an antidote herself.

However, this poison was extraordinary. It wasn’t just a poison—it had similarities to a Gu curse.

She had only made some preliminary findings and had planned to conduct more experiments for verification.

But now, she didn’t have time.

She had to leave the capital for a long time, and she didn’t want her second uncle to take the risk of waiting.

She had previously consulted the imperial physician treating her second uncle, and he also suspected that the poison was related to Miaojiang (a region known for Gu curses).

Miaojiang was known for its venomous Gu curses, making it difficult to cure such poisons.

That was why, for the past ten years, the imperial physicians could only suppress the poison but couldn’t completely remove it.

Gu poison was different from ordinary toxins, and the methods for neutralizing it varied.

Although her second uncle’s poison wasn’t entirely a Gu curse, it was still extremely tricky to resolve.

That’s why she had to ask Zhi Zhi for help.

If a Gu King like Zhi Zhi couldn’t even handle this poison, then it might as well go back and be reforged!

Lin Yuxin stared at her second uncle’s chest, watching as a lump gradually formed under his skin.

The lump wriggled left and right, moving erratically inside his body.

After the time of one incense stick, the lump slowly made its way toward the bleeding wound.

Lin Yuxin knew that it was almost done.

She quickly grabbed a silver needle and got ready.

In the next second, a blood-red creature burst out from the wound. Lin Yuxin reacted swiftly, using the needle to stop the bleeding.

If she let the blood flow any longer, her second uncle wouldn’t die from the poison but from excessive blood loss.

She quickly fed him a pill to replenish his blood and energy.

Then, she turned to check on Zhi Zhi, who was slowly returning to its normal form from its previous blood-colored appearance.

“How did it go, Zhi Zhi?”

Lin Yuxin asked with concern.

“Zhi zhi zhi!”

“Don’t worry! When I take action, nothing can go wrong!”

“Alright, you’re the best! Here, take this!”

Lin Yuxin found its fluffy little body quite adorable and handed over the Purple Golden Flower as promised.

“Zhi zhi zhi!”

“I’ll take it back and eat it slowly. I’m full from earlier, so I need to digest first. Oh, and by the way, give him one drop of the Celestial Dew diluted in water. It will help repair the damage his body has suffered from the poison over the years.”

“Alright! I got it. Thank you, Zhi Zhi!”

Lin Yuxin nodded in acknowledgment and then sent Zhi Zhi back into her spatial dimension.

She then turned to check her second uncle’s pulse.

Indeed, the poison had been neutralized.

However, his body had been severely corroded by the poison over the years.

Since Zhi Zhi had recommended the Celestial Dew, it must be effective.

She carefully treated her second uncle’s wrist wound.

Then, after hesitating for a moment, she picked up the teapot filled with his blood and added a single drop of Celestial Dew.

She carefully fed him the blood.

No matter how cautious she was, some still trickled out, running down his chin and onto his neck.

The sight was gruesome, as if he had been drenched in blood.

Fortunately, her second aunt wasn’t present.

Otherwise, she might have thought Lin Yuxin had done something terrible to Zhao Yingfeng!

After she finally finished feeding him, she checked his pulse again.

As expected, the Celestial Dew was working wonders—his damaged organs were gradually recovering, and even his leg injury was healing at an astonishing speed.

Perhaps he would recover even better than he was ten years ago.

Maybe he could even return to the battlefield!

It seemed her second uncle was experiencing a blessing in disguise. If he fully recovered and followed the training regimen she prepared, he might even become an invincible war god!

After tidying up the room, Lin Yuxin went to open the door, only to find a group of people standing outside.

At the door, besides her second aunt, were her grandfather and one of her older cousins.

The only ones missing were her third uncle and his wife.

Her fourth and fifth uncles were in the army, so they weren’t present.

“How is it, Yuxin? Your second uncle…?”

Her grandfather immediately asked upon seeing her.

“Yes, the poison has been neutralized. His body is slowly recovering. He should eat a light diet for now and avoid overexertion. I will prescribe medicine for him to take for seven days. After that, he won’t need any more medication, not even for his leg injury.”

Lin Yuxin seriously explained to everyone.

“That’s great! His poison is finally gone!”

“Yuxin is amazing! The poison that couldn’t be cured for ten years—she resolved it just like that. She’s truly the lucky star of our family!”

“Exactly!”

Zhao Shijie ignored the praises of some younger family members.

He already knew how capable his granddaughter was—he didn’t need others to tell him!

However, he frowned in confusion and asked, “He doesn’t need medicine for his leg injury anymore? Why? Didn’t you say he needed to take it for a month? It hasn’t even been a month since his surgery.”

“Grandfather, second uncle is already undergoing rehabilitation. This time, I used a special medicine that accelerates healing. Once he recovers, not only will his old injuries be gone, but there also won’t be any lasting side effects. If he wants to return to the battlefield, he should have no problem doing so!”

Lin Yuxin looked at her grandfather’s aged face, full of concern, and felt a pang of sadness.

This old man had been holding everything together for the family.

“Really? That’s fantastic! Hahaha!”

Upon hearing that his son could return to the battlefield, Zhao Shijie finally relaxed.

If he could fight again, it meant he had fully recovered—this made him ecstatic!

“Yuxin, can I go see him?”

Chen Lanzhi, her second aunt, was so excited that she wanted to check on her husband immediately.

“Yes! Go ahead. He should be awake by now.”

Lin Yuxin nodded and stepped aside to let them in.

As soon as they entered, they saw Zhao Yingfeng open his eyes.

When he saw them, he grinned widely.

However, he didn’t realize that his mouth and neck were still covered in blood.

That eerie smile instantly sent chills down everyone’s spine.

The group at the door froze, their hearts skipping a beat.

Zhao Shijie, being experienced, only hesitated slightly. But the younger ones? They freaked out.

“AH! A bloodthirsty demon!”

Zhao Chenhai screamed and bolted out.

“Ghost!!!”

His brothers Zhao Chendong and Zhao Chenfeng also panicked and ran out after him.

Lin Yuxin, who had been the last to enter, stood there dumbfounded, watching the three of them flee in terror.

“What’s wrong with them?” she asked in confusion.

“Uh… Yuxin, how exactly did you detoxify your second uncle? Why… does he look like this?”

Her second aunt hesitated, carefully wording her question so as not to hurt Yuxin’s feelings.
