Chaos Systems
Chapters. 72 - Herbal Pool

Since no one had entered his room, Mu Chen Xiao finally went out leaving his room and walked towards somewhere that could calm his mind at this moment.

He was still holding a small bottle of medicine that the man had previously given him to treat the spider venom Youdu still had in his body. He also did not understand why the man gave him this strange pill to neutralize the poison in his body.

”In famous novels, usually a villain will feel happy if the protagonist lives in misery. He will also definitely find a way to kill the protagonist in any way despite having to use a lot of money to be able to kill him. However, there is indeed a criminal who can do good like that?!” inner Mu Chen Xiao was still astonished by what the man had done to him.

He walked back and subconsciously, he was already in a place unknown to him. It was a place where water flowed swiftly through a tool and there were fine rocks that settled in the middle of it and also at each of its edges. There are also long grasses that have been filled with fireflies hiding inside.

"What is this place? Didn't I walk around the house? Is there someone who's trying to joke with me?" Mu Chen Xiao muttered that he immediately looked around as soon as he felt the increasingly moist air around him.

"Xiao Xiao's! Why are you here?" Ask a bare-chested man who is currently in the pool after he dives long enough.

Surprised that this person was Xun Ji'an, Mu Chen Xiao became even more confused as to why he was here as well. "... Ji'an Gege's! Why am I here?" Asked Mu Chen Xiao who was confused.

"Why ask me? Didn't you come here yourself?"

"It's not like that. I was walking around the house and suddenly I was here. I thought, Ji'an Gege brought me here." Mu Chen Xiao.

"You were also hit by Youdu's spider poison arrow?"

Mu Chen Xiao flinched and immediately turned his head towards Xun Ji'an who was still inside the pond. "... How could Ji'an Gege know? Was Gege also hit by a stray arrow?" Mu Chen Xiao asked after he was surprised to hear Xun Ji'an saying her current condition.

"The story is very long." Xun Ji'an smiled wryly and said back while waving her hand, "Come here. This pond was filled with potions made by Xu Wuya to cure the poison. You'll get well soon if you soak in here."

"No." Mu Chen Xiao replied a moment later after he noticed the water level inside the pond which had a height above Xun Ji'an's stomach which was much higher than his.

"Heh,...? Wh why? Is Xiao Xiao afraid of drowning?" Xun Ji'an asked in surprise.

Mu Chen Xiao tried to quibble and averted his gaze from Xun Ji'an's terrifying-looking gaze. "... I just don't want to get wet! Besides, that guy gave me a pill that could cure him." Mu Chen Xiao said as he showed a small bottle containing medicinal pills given by foreign men yesterday.

"Let me see it!" Said Xun Ji'an who directly walked up to him and tried to take the medicinal pill that Mu Chen Xiao had in hand.

"Huh? Why should I show it to you? I'd better keep it!" Mu Chen Xiao replied as he tried to put the small bottle back under his clothes. However, Xun Ji'an seemed to keep insisting on seeing him so she held Mu Chen Xiao's hand and forbade him to keep the bottle back.

"I just saw for a second! You're a stingy bitch." Said Xun Ji'an who continued to pull Mu Chen Xiao's hand forcefully.

"I told you I'm—"

BYURPR!!!

Because Mu Chen Xiao was too close to the pond, it made him slip and fall on Xun Ji'an who had previously stood before him. He almost drowned because of the deep size of the pond before Xun Ji'an finally held his body so that he did not drown.

"Ouch! You are too short! Can't you swim?" Xun Ji'an asked as she held Mu Chen Xiao back so that he would not drown.

”I deserve to feel floating. Why did I fall here?” inner Mu Chen Xiao who could not tread at the bottom of the pond. "... Ji'an Gege's! Can you get me back to where I belong?" Said Mu Chen Xiao while looking towards Xun Ji'an.

"Why put you back? Why not drown you here?" Xun Ji'an's words further submerged Mu Chen Xiao even deeper until the water covered her shoulders.

"Gob Block! Wanna kill me?!" Shouted Mu Chen Xiao who was trying to hit Xun Ji'an in the face with both hands even though he was currently unable to move.

And then, from behind the trees that were growing there. A woman wearing black came with a man wearing white. Both of them were Xu Wuya and Zhao Bingyan who had previously searched for Mu Chen Xiao everywhere until they guessed that he had been taken by the men who had previously attacked them yesterday.

"Xiao 'er! How did you get here?" Asked Zhao Bingyan who immediately ran over to Mu Chen Xiao who was now with Xun Ji'an inside the herbal pond.

"Great teacher Zhao! Ji'an Gege bullied me since!" Said Mu Chen Xiao who tried to complain to Zhao Bingyan and made Xun Ji'an silence her voice.

When Zhao Bingyan was about to take Mu Chen Xiao out of the pool, Xu Wuya suddenly prevented Zhao Bingyan from touching Mu Chen Xiao and he immediately explained before there was a misunderstanding between them. "... Young master Zhao! You should not have to take it out of the pool. This kid has been exposed to Youdu spider poison and can only be treated with the pool of herbs I have prepared for the two of them."

”....”

All of them fell silent for a while after they heard the explanation from Xu Wuya which made him even more dizzy.

Zhao Bingyan then coughed a little and looked back at Mu Chen Xiao with an ordinary gaze. "If it's for Xiao'er's good then, just let him soak it longer there. I'll wait for him until he's done." Zhao Bingyan said as she walked away leaving Mu Chen Xiao who was still speechless and surprised by her words.

”Sucks once!” inner Mu Chen Xiao who held back his regret towards Zhao Bingyan who had left absolutely no good impressions when he reunited with her after a few days of not meeting. ”... But, what made Zhao Bingyan come here? Has something happened or does he want to bring me back?”
