The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 83 - Deadly poison.

The servant-clothed man who had lost his right hand, moved his eyeballs like he wanted to talk, but blood started pouring from his neck and lips so profusely, making everyone scream in that place.

"Hakkk....., suddenly a drizzle of blood gushed out more and more from his neck and the man collapsed as Zhi Yuan was already so far away from the man.

Zhi Yuan took the badge from the fist of his right hand that he had cut off earlier, and after getting the badge, the man's right hand was thrown away, just like that, and the young man approached Hua Mulan who was just frozen as she endured the pain, her right hand holding on to the wall as well as her left hand holding her stomach.

His face looked pale, cold sweat flooded his face, even the color of his lips had started to whiten, blood continued to flow from the stomach that was covered with his left hand

Zhi Yuan caught the woman before collapsing, his eyes staring around, there was not a single person in the spacious courtyard of the Li family residence.

"Mrs hang on" said Zhi Yuan

the woman nodded, though,

"To your room only," said the woman as she pressed her stomach, blood flowed profusely from the woman's fingers,

The special guest room occupied by Zhi Yuan was the most outside and slightly hidden because of the tall ornamental plants, only from the middle courtyard of the room can be seen.

Zhi Yuan laid her on his bed,

"Madam I will look for a servant to call the nearest healer" said Zhi Yuan, as he had only once passed through this capital and did not know the nearest healer.

However the woman held onto Zhi Yuan's arm,

"No Zhi Yuan, that man has already taken my father's badge" Hua Mulan said.

"Calm down Madam, I've got it again, now let me call the maid," said Zhi Yuan, but the woman held back her arm, her left hand still covering the wound that kept bleeding her.

"No. I don't want to look weak in front of those people, go. Take that badge away from this place, this wound is not too deep, I know how to treat it," hua Mulan said, her clothes are wet with sweat.

The woman lowered the corner of her eyes staring at the gaping wound, and visible around the wound were purplish branched veins popping out.

"From that color, this was an extremely ferocious poison," the inner Hua Mulan who thought she would not survive, her face began to show a hint of fear.

"Hold on," said Zhi Yuan, knowing that if he was looking for a healer all too late, the young man darted out and only a few minutes returned to the room,

The woman opened her eyes, and seeing that Zhi Yuan was already carrying equipment and lanterns, in order for her room to be brighter, Zhi Yuan started to clean the lady's wounds,

"Zhi Yuan what are you doing? I have my father's talent, and I know the poison from this wound is not easy to treat, you won't be able to treat me, find a healer in Guo's medicine pavilion, bring it here secretly, hakkksss." the woman's lips opened as Zhi Yuan widened the woman's wound with a small knife, sucking out all of her poison, the woman tried to pull Zhi Yuan's hair to stop but the young man was unmoved and kept doing his job.

"Enough Zhi Yuan you will die if you suck the poison," Hua Mulan said, her eyes staring at Zhi Yuan who continued to spit blood mixed with poison, into a large bowl.

"Totakan I've stopped the bleeding, and the poison has not spread, after all I don't know the Guo pavilion" Zhi Yuan said and continued to suck out the poison and the remaining blood in the wound.

After the wound was clean of the young man's poison stuffed the powder Hua Daiyan gave into the wound, and slowly the wound was covered with a blue vapor, the woman looked exhausted and asleep, and unconscious. At midnight the woman regained her conscious eyes staring at the wound that had been closed but had a terrible appearance of skin around the wound. the woman looked around and found Zhi Yuan sitting near her while reading a book.

"Miss you're sober?" ask Zhi Yuan.

"Why haven't you left yet? do you think I'd thank you for saving my life? hurry up I don't need you" said the woman.

Zhi Yuan fisted at the woman's neck making her unable to speak,

"That's so much better, someone more arrogant than you told me, if you can't thank me at least don't insult people who tried to help you even if their efforts failed," said Zhi Yuan.

"Now shut up, I don't know what kind of poison this is, so in order not to endanger your life, let these poison ants work, usually people will use poison leeches, so in order not to harm your life, but I didn't find it in the medicine pavilion, so I searched for this ant, although it's not as good as a leech, but this thing will help," said Zhi Yuan and took out three poison ants as small as a child's pinky, from a piece of a small bamboo, and released a tootokan on the woman's neck.

"This is the spectacle I've been waiting for, a stubborn and annoying woman like you would roar in pain, see what pain can make a haughty woman scream? and thank me," said Zhi Yuan one corner of his lips curled triumphantly

"What, thanking? No way," whispered the woman gazing resentfully at Zhi Yuan, her face looking shiny from sweat.

"haakkkk.." there was a screech as the poison ants were in action, his lips opened like a grimace holding back the pain, while widening his eyes towards Zhi Yuan.
