Chapter 521 - 158: Giving Gifts_4
But if it’s true, it’s not a big deal. It’s just a poison fang hidden in the Jiang Residence, once pulled out, it’s nothing at all.
...
At the entrance of the Duke Residence, Zhao Ke was squatting in the courtyard, talking to Wen Ji.
He had been out last night on business, and came back to the Duke Residence early this morning to report, thus he had not returned to the Jiang Family.
In the room inside, Situ Jiuyue was busy with her work; whenever she had free time, she would create new poisons. Hai Tang stood by her side, passing the materials she needed from time to time.
Since Hai Tang’s facial injury had healed, she had nothing to do in the Duke Residence but couldn’t find anything to do, so she simply became Situ Jiuyue’s servant. Whenever Situ Jiuyue performed alchemy, Hai Tang assisted.
Zhao Ke, looking at the two people inside the room, shook his head and exclaimed, "What a fine girl, why would she follow Miss Situ?"
Was Situ Jiuyue beautiful? Naturally, she was among the top ten beauties in Yanjing City. However, she was really too fierce, ready to poison someone at the slightest disagreement, which made others dare not get close to her. And Hai Tang, to say nothing else, the guards in the Duke Residence still respected her quite a bit. The method Situ Jiuyue used to treat Hai Tang’s face was the Poisonous Spider’s technique of using poison to combat poison, a method known to be dangerous and painful by the people of the Duke Residence. It was beyond everyone’s expectation that Hai Tang was willing to undergo it, and her ability to endure the procedure was even more unexpected.
