Chapter 101: Detoxification
After Yiyi made the medicine pills, she delivered them to Yang Liu the next day.
"Can this medicine pill really cure Liu’er’s illness?" Fang Cheng stared directly at the little porcelain bottle in Yiyi’s hand.
"This medicine pill can indeed counteract the ’Heart devouring’ poison, but Teacher Yang has been poisoned for a long time, so follow-up care is crucial. It must be carried out cautiously, or her body might not recover to its former state."
After thinking it over, Yiyi still voiced the question in her heart.
"You two haven’t had any children yet, right?"
This made Fang Cheng a bit embarrassed; Yang Liu beside him responded regretfully, "Right, we haven’t had children. After A Cheng and I got married, I became a teacher. Initially, we thought we were still young and not in a hurry, but unexpectedly, I was poisoned suddenly, making it even more impossible to have children."
Now she fully trusts Yiyi and admits to being poisoned.
Upon hearing Yang Liu’s words, Yiyi’s brows furrowed slightly, finally sighing, "Even if the poison in your body is resolved, your body has still been damaged, so... it’s quite difficult for you to conceive. Whether or not you can have children in the future depends on fate. I hope you both understand this clearly."
It’s impossible not to be disappointed; Yang Liu’s expression was full of sorrow. She didn’t expect it to turn out this way.
But Fang Cheng, on the other hand, was completely indifferent. He hugged Yang Liu tightly and said, "It’s okay even if we don’t have children. If you really like kids, we could adopt one, so don’t feel sad."
Upon hearing Fang Cheng’s words, Yiyi looked at him in a new light. It seems this man truly loves Yang Liu, loving her enough to disregard the issue of descendants.
Yang Liu’s eyes were red as she leaned against Fang Cheng, "A Cheng, you actually deserve someone better."
Upon hearing his wife’s words, Fang Cheng became angry.
"Liu’er, what are you saying? Are you trying to push me to someone else?"
"No, of course, I can’t bear to, but..."
Yang Liu hesitated to continue speaking. She couldn’t bear to, but now Fang Cheng doesn’t regret it, so what about when he gets older, and what about his mother, who already has opinions about her?
Seeing his wife’s worried expression, Fang Cheng patted her shoulder and said, "Alright Liu’er, what’s most important now is your health, isn’t it? Compared to life, these things are nothing."
Upon hearing these words, Yang Liu felt a sudden realization wash over her.
Indeed, over the past few days, she worried about her gradually waning life. Now, seeing that things might improve, why worry about these matters? It’s simply overthinking it. Better to take it one step at a time.
And Yiyi quietly waited for their conversation to finish, finally reminding them sternly, "This medicine pill is quite potent; the porcelain bottle contains only one pill. After Teacher Yang takes it, the experience might be quite painful, but you must endure it."
Upon hearing this, Yang Liu naturally nodded and said, "Yiyi, don’t worry, I’ll definitely grit my teeth and endure it."
"That’s good."
After observing Yang Liu’s complexion, Yiyi straightforwardly said, "I suggest taking the antidote today while I watch over it."
Upon hearing Yiyi’s words, Fang Cheng felt much more at ease, then solemnly handed the porcelain bottle to his wife, "Liu’er, go ahead and take it now."
Yang Liu didn’t hesitate and directly swallowed the medicine pill in one go.
At first, she felt nothing, but after about fifteen minutes, she felt as if her body was about to catch fire, an unbearable burning sensation, and her heart was even more agonizingly painful.
Initially, Yang Liu silently endured, but eventually, she couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
Seeing Yang Liu like this, Fang Cheng was extremely worried. He nervously looked towards Yiyi and asked, "Is Liu’er really going to be okay? She seems to be in quite a bit of discomfort."
Yiyi answered with a calm expression, "It’s alright, this is just part of the process. She’ll be fine once she endures this period."
Seeing Yang Liu in such a state reminded Yiyi of her days in the Medicine Valley, where the pain of trying out medicines was far worse than this, a hundred times or a thousand times more severe. Yet, she gritted her teeth and endured it back then. In hindsight, she realized how challenging it was for her at the time.
If she could endure such pain, nothing would be too difficult for her in the future.
With these thoughts, Yiyi’s eyes sparkled as she carefully observed Yang Liu’s reactions.
At this moment, Yang Liu was in so much pain that she had no strength left and lay limply on the bed. Seeing this, Yiyi directly looked at Fang Cheng and said, "Go raise the teacher’s clothing."
Fang Cheng made no hesitation, directly stepping forward to lift his wife’s clothing.
It was then he noticed a difference; the blue lines on his wife’s heart were gradually fading away.
Initially, they thought it was blue veins, but later they learned from Yiyi that it was the lines of ’Heart devouring’ poison gradually spreading. Now, those lines were slowly disappearing.
Seeing this, Fang Cheng’s face showed joy.
"Does this mean the poison is slowly being resolved?"
Yiyi nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed being detoxified." She couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief internally, thankful that the antidote she made was working.
Although Yang Liu was weak with pain, she heard the conversation between her husband and Yiyi, so her eyes lit up again, and she gradually felt strength returning to her body.
And now, the detoxification process was reaching its crucial step.
The blue lines on Yang Liu’s heart had faded to the center of her heart when suddenly, Yang Liu screamed out loud, rolling in pain all over.
"Liu’er..."
Seeing this, Fang Cheng rushed over, his face full of panic. After holding his wife, he urgently looked at Yiyi and asked loudly, "What happened? Why is Liu’er suddenly in such severe pain?"
"There’s nothing wrong, she’s reached the most critical point. Once she gets through this step, the poison will be fully resolved."
The theory was one thing, but seeing his wife in such agony made Fang Cheng feel utterly distressed.
Right after the conversation, Yang Liu retched.
"Pff..."
A mass of black matter was expelled from Yang Liu’s mouth, and once on the ground, it continued to wriggle slowly.
Seeing this scene, Fang Cheng’s face was full of solemnity, "What is this thing?"
Yet, Yiyi took out a translucent glass cover, directly covering the thing, "This is the poison in the teacher’s body, but in fact, it’s a Gu."
"This... does Gu poison really exist?"
Yiyi cast a faint glance at him and said, "Didn’t you see it with your own eyes today? Go get something to light a fire with, quickly."
Seeing Yiyi’s severe expression and his wife lying on the bed with stable breathing, Fang Cheng quickly ran to fetch a pack of matches.
"Sizzle..."
With Yiyi igniting it, the thing had nowhere to flee and was instantly turned to ash.
