Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030
"You bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"
Jia Xiaoqing was so angry that she clenched her fists, wanting to get up and fight Lin Chen, but unfortunately, her body wouldn't move at all.
"Xiaoqing, don't get worked up, I'm doing this all for your own good!" Lin Chen's smile became even brighter.
"For my own good! You deliberately made me eat wild fruits to get diarrhea, knowing there were snakes in the bushes and still letting me get bitten. You're really screwing me over!"
What kind of grudge would make someone come up with such a vicious revenge?
Jia Xiaoqing was almost driven crazy by Lin Chen and finally turned her head away, ignoring him.
"Don't be mad. The cold poison has already seeped into your bones. To cure it, not only do we need the venom of the seven-star snake, but also the secretion from its saliva. So, although the venom is the most poisonous, it's also the best remedy for cold poison."
Lin Chen said with a chuckle.
What, getting bitten by a snake to cure a disease!
Jia Xiaoqing stared blankly at Lin Chen, thinking this guy was just spouting nonsense.
She had only heard that being bitten by a snake could lead to death, never that it could cure a disease afterward.
"Have you used this method on anyone else?" Jia Xiaoqing asked anxiously.
"The method is too dangerous, so you're very fortunate. It's my first time using this extraordinary technique."
"Damn!" Jia Xiaoqing was instantly furious. So he was treating her like a guinea pig!
Jia Xiaoqing was both angry and annoyed, wanting to say something, but then her body went soft and she collapsed to the ground.
Looking at Jia Xiaoqing on the ground, Lin Chen's lips curled into a mischievous smile.
"Hey, miss, I'm really not taking advantage of you. To treat your cold poison, I can only go against my morals and play the rogue once."
Lin Chen rubbed his hands together, took out a silver needle and some specially prepared herbs, then turned Jia Xiaoqing over.
At this moment, Jia Xiaoqing's backside was partially lifted, its snowy smoothness displayed unreservedly in front of Lin Chen.
Damn, this is practically tempting me to make a mistake. Lin Chen's hand almost couldn't resist reaching out to squeeze it a few times.
Restraining his hand, Lin Chen managed to hold back. Although he wasn't a gentleman, he couldn't take advantage of someone in a vulnerable situation.
Even with his mind clear, when applying the medicinal powder to Jia Xiaoqing's back, Lin Chen almost lost his composure.
After completing the treatment, Lin Chen pulled up Jia Xiaoqing's pants and carried her further into the mountains.
Even though the mountain road was rugged, Lin Chen carried Jia Xiaoqing with ease as if on flat ground.
Behind him, two soft forms bounced with the path's ups and downs, pressing intimately against his back, with wafts of a young girl's fragrance constantly entering his nose; such a feeling was truly wonderful.
It was unclear how long it had been when Jia Xiaoqing opened her eyes.
Above her was the blue sky, green trees shaded all around, and a small creek ran beside her.
Jia Xiaoqing rubbed her eyes, and suddenly her heart tightened as she quickly sat up.
She looked down; her clothes were properly worn, and where the snake had bitten her was no longer in pain.
Could that guy have cured me?
Jia Xiaoqing was somewhat stunned. She had been bitten by a seven-star snake, a very venomous type, and even in a hospital, only serum could save her. How had Lin Chen managed it in the wilderness?
"I'm so hungry. If only there were chips or fried chicken. It's all that bastard Lin Chen's fault for throwing away all the food from my bag."
She looked around but didn't see Lin Chen. That jerk wouldn't have just abandoned me in the wild !
What's that smell? It smells so good!
Just then, a tempting aroma drifted into Jia Xiaoqing's nose.
Jia Xiaoqing's stomach was already hungry, and she had no resistance to the wild, fragrant scent.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Jia Xiaoqing stood up and followed the aroma.
Rounding a shrub, Jia Xiaoqing saw a campfire not far away.
Over the fire was a rack with a ceramic pot hanging from it. The aroma was coming from the pot.
Jia Xiaoqing stared at the pot, almost drooling.
She had only eaten a few wild fruits all day, and by now, she was so hungry her stomach was sticking to her back.
The aroma from the pot seemed even more enticing than any gourmet food she'd had before.
"Lin Chen, is that you? Where are you?" Jia Xiaoqing said as she walked toward the pot.
She'd only taken a few steps when Lin Chen appeared behind her like a ghost.
With a sly smile on his face, his hand reached toward Jia Xiaoqing's backside.
Jia Xiaoqing cried out like a startled fawn.
Jia Xiaoqing turned around, her pretty face both shy and angry, glaring at Lin Chen with fury.
"You pervert, how dare you take advantage of me?" Jia Xiaoqing said, burning with rage as she looked at Lin Chen behind her.
Earlier, when she was poisoned and couldn't move, she tolerated him taking liberties. But now that she was conscious, how could this jerk still be so brazen?
Seeing Jia Xiaoqing's eyes that seemed to want to hack him to pieces, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh, "You think I wanted to touch you? Just now, I was checking how your wound was healing."
"How did you cure me after the snake bite?" Jia Xiaoqing suddenly remembered this question.
The best way to help someone bitten by a snake is to suck out the venom. Could it be that he actually sucked it out from there?
Imagining such an ambiguous scene made Jia Xiaoqing's face flush.
"Lin Chen, did you suck my wound?" Jia Xiaoqing asked with a red face and a voice as small as a mosquito.
"Come on, Miss Jia, you really surprised me. I thought you were a very innocent girl, but who knew you had such dirty thoughts!" Lin Chen looked at her incredulously, his expression full of grievance.
"Damn you!" Jia Xiaoqing lunged at Lin Chen, bares her teeth and claws.
Although Jia Xiaoqing lunged left and right, Lin Chen slipped away like a nimble monkey.
Unable to catch Lin Chen, Jia Xiaoqing felt even hungrier.
Huffing with anger, Jia Xiaoqing ignored Lin Chen and went to the pot that was emitting the intoxicating aroma.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Jia Xiaoqing opened the pot and peered inside.
"What on earth is this stuff?" Jia Xiaoqing was dumbfounded when she saw the contents.
The soup in the pot was a kaleidoscope of colors, vibrant and beautiful; looking at it, it seemed more like an abstract painting than a pot of soup.
Inside the pot, amidst the steaming broth, were two wild chickens and seven or eight brightly colored mushrooms.
Jia Xiaoqing had undergone wilderness training before and recognized at a glance that these brightly colored mushrooms were highly poisonous.
"Damn, are you trying to poison me to death?"
