The cold poison in Ji Qinghuaiâs body was always a hidden danger. Although it had only flared up twice, it was extremely powerful. Each attack cost him half his life and must be resolved as soon as possible.
Ji Qinghuai carefully recalled what he had come into contact with the day he pursued Lin Shuye. After pondering, he felt that the problem might lie in the medicine he bought from the clinic that day.
He had taken each type of tablet twice and lost the rest with his mobile phone when he turned into his original form. Fortunately, the medicine was bought in the clinic. As long as the clinic was there, he could find out the answer by buying two more boxes.
Ji Qinghuai only remembered the rough area in which the clinic was located but since it was in a good location, it was fairly easy to find. Ji Qinghuai looked up at the sign: Yunfei clinic.
Here it is.
Ji Qinghuai pushed open the door. The owner, Xiang Yunfei, was still playing games. When he saw someone coming in, he glanced up slightly and glued his eyes back onto the screen.
Just as he was about to ask what the visitor wanted to buy, Xiang Yunfei suddenly raised his head and his hand trembled violently. His mobile phone almost fell to the ground.
âJiâŠyoung master Ji.â Xiang Yunfei quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile.
The last time Ji Qinghuai came to buy medicine, Xiang Yunfei felt that the man looked familiar. Later, he suddenly remembered who the man was.
Ji Qinghuai was not only a celebrity in the entertainment circle, few people within the demon race didnât know him. After all, he was also a person who often visited the demon forum and the amount of attention Ji Qinghuai received was no lower than the humansâ Weibo.
Ji Qinghuai raised his eyebrows. This kid cheated him of his money last time. Is he afraid now?
Xiang Yunfei was more than afraid. His legs began to tremble while his heart was saying: Itâs over! The demon king has come to settle accounts with him! He not only cheated him of his money but also made his stomach upset! Ji Qinghuai will break off his wings and pull out his parrot hair to stew soup! Help!
His actions exhibited the guilty conscience of being a thief to the fullest. Xiang Yunfei almost scared himself to death, but Ji Qinghuai had no plans to chase after him for such a small issue, âI want to buy medicine.â
Xiang Yunfei pretended to be calm as if Xingshi was not asking for his sins. He hurriedly asked, âWhat do you want to buy?â
Ji Qinghuai couldnât remember the medicine he bought last time so he asked, âDo you remember the medicine I bought last time?â
Hearing this, Xiang Yunfei almost fell to his knees. Was he waiting for him to confess? Was this the process before beating him up?
He trembled as he answered, âRememberâŠI remember.â
Hearing this, Ji Qinghuai said, âThen help me take a box of each.â
Xiang Yunfeiâs legs went limp and he collapsed onto the chair.
Heâs not only going to stew him, heâs also going to throw in the evidence to stew alongside him!
Ji Qinghuai didnât know that Xiang Yunfei had been scared to death by his own imagination. Seeing his pale face, he asked in confusion, âI just want to buy some medicine, why are you so scared?â
Although he had a bad reputation, he thought he was a reasonable man. How many rumours had Xiang Yunfei heard to be deluded like this?
Xiang Yunfei was almost scared out of his wits when he heard this. Looking at his face carefully, he found that his face was the same as last time, with no trace of anger. Xiang Yunfei felt strange. Ji Qinghuai was well-known and couldnât be provoked. At the same time, he never hid his temper so his calm reaction was odder.
Xiang Yunfei suddenly had a wild guess. Could it be that Ji Qinghuai didnât know there was a problem with the medicine?
Thinking about it carefully, Xiang Yunfei felt that it was possible. After all, Ji Qinghuai was a powerful demon with strong spiritual power. Maybe his spiritual power dissolved the effects of the drug before it could affect him, which would explain why he wasnât making a fuss.
Thinking about it this way, Xiang Yunfei felt that this was highly possible. He tentatively asked, âThe poison in your body hasnât been detoxified yet?â
Although Ji Qinghuai didnât care about being scammed two thousand yuan, it didnât mean that he didnât hold a grudge. He glanced at Xiang Yunfei indifferently.
Xiang Yunfei sprung into action and took out two boxes of medicine for Ji Qinghuai. Of course, one of the two boxes was definitely not the medicine that he had originally given to Ji Qinghuai. Xiang Yunfei didnât recognize him at that time, so he took revenge on him for throwing his phone away. Now he knew that the person he had tricked was the great demon king and Ji Qinghuai also hadnât found out he had been tricked, how could Xiang Yunfei send himself to his death by giving the same drug?
Now, these two boxes of medicine contained the real antidotes for the rat poison.
Xiang Yunfei laughed and said, âHere, take the medicine. If you need more in the future, just call me and Iâll send it to you. The money for the medicine will be deducted from the money you gave last time.â Then he handed a business card to Ji Qinghuai.
Ji Qinghuai took the card, expressed his thanks and left with the medicine. As soon as he left, Xiang Yunfei leaned against the chair. Scared me to death!
On the other hand, Ji Qinghuai was completely clueless that his medicine had been switched. After leaving Xiang Yunfeiâs clinic, he went to look for Xu Luo at the address given by his father.
It was almost time to get off work but Xu Luo was not busy and was waiting for him in the office. When he pushed the door open, Xu Luo recognised him instantly.
âYoung master Ji,â Xu Luo stood up and politely greeted him. He reached out his hand, âHello, Iâm Xu Luo.â
Ji Qinghuai raised his hand and also greeted him, âHello, Mr Xu.â
âYou donât have to be so polite,â said Xu Luo with a smile. âYou can just call me Xu Luo.â
From their appearances, they were both about the same age. Perhaps due to work, both of their personalities were similar.
On the contrary, Ji Qinghuai liked this familiar character. âThen you donât have to be polite, just call me by my name also.â
âOkay.â Xu Luo wasnât much formal either and he directly called out, âQinghuai.â
The two peopleâs characters actually hit it off.
Xu Luo pushed a chair to the desk. âMaster Ji has informed me about your situation, Iâll take a look at your pulse first.â
Ji Qinghuai sat down and rolled up his sleeves to reveal his white wrists. Xu Luo placed his hand on his wrists. After feeling his pulse, he loosened his hand for a while with a strange expression. âJudging from your pulse, thereâs nothing wrong with your body.â He couldnât figure out why there was no trace of cold poison in his pulse.
Ji Qinghuai took back his hand and passed the two boxes of medicine he had bought to him. âIâve thought about it for a long time. These two boxes may be the only things that would have caused the cold poison.â
Xu Luo took the boxes and inspected them before denying Ji Qinghuaiâs guess. âThese two boxes are both antidotes. There shouldnât be any problem.â
Ji Qinghuaiâs hope was instantly dashed.
âThis thing is tricky,â Xu Luo said. âEveryone has different physiques. Even if the same drug is taken under the same condition, the effects of the drug will be different.â
âThere are many kinds of things with relatively cold properties and their properties are all varied. Itâs impossible to randomly try different kinds of medicine. But as the saying goes, only the person who tied the bell can untie it. Only by figuring out the source can the right medicine be used, otherwise itâs difficult to completely cure it.â
Ji Qinghuai didnât understand much about medicine but he understood what Xu Luo meant. He had thought that the problem lay with the medicine he bought from the clinic, but when he heard Xu Luoâs firm denial, he began to worry again.
Xu Luo was also worried. Had he been involved with cold poison in other places recently? He didnât know what caused it so it was really difficult for him to work with the situation.
If his memory served him right, he remembered that Ji Qinghuai was also a cat? Interesting.
âIâll prescribe some warming tonics for you to relieve the poison for now and prevent it from flaring up again. During this period, you should pay more attention to yourself and avoid touching cold things. If not, the poison might strike again.â
As he spoke, he took a pen and paper to prescribe medicine for him. As he was putting away the pen, his eyes fell on the two boxes of medicine that Ji Qinghuai had brought. Suddenly, he remembered something and said to him, âLeave these two boxes of medicine for inspection, Iâll check if theyâre false.â
Doctors in some small clinics would sell fake medicine and use them to deal with insignificant illnesses. If there was really something wrong with the medicine, it would be easier to cure Ji Qinghuai.
When he returned to the car, Ji Qinghuai looked at the big bag of Chinese medicine in the back seat. It seemed that he would be facing a formidable enemy from now onwards. Thinking that he would have to drink it every day, his face scrunched up.
He stepped on the gas and drove away.
I had a lab test yesterday and my hands were shaking so bad, I almost splashed the solution onto me haha
