Chapter 123: Detoxify: Mutual Destruction
As her heart raced, Ye Jiuge’s Lightning Fire Needle spewed out the last of her Spiritual Power to firmly suppress the spider’s image. The Poison Earthworm took the opportunity to engulf the spider’s image completely. After gobbling it up, it stopped moving. The Ice Snow Spider King was no ordinary creature; to defeat it, the Poison Earthworm had to swallow it down.
Just then, Dongfang Que vomited one last mouthful of infected blood. A dried-up Poison Earthworm was also discharged together with the bright red blood.
“Done,” said Ye Jiuge.
She stashed her needle and leaned against the bed frame weakly. With trembling hands, she reached for the Spiritual Revitalization Pill in her bag. Bai Songling understood her intentions instantly. He helped her take out a Spiritual Revitalization Pill and poured her a cup of hot water. After consuming the medicinal pill, Ye Jiuge finally felt some energy in her body. However, the soreness in her right arm was so intense that she could not even lift it.
“Are you alright?” Bai Songling asked with concern. If anything were to happen to Ye Jiuge, he would not escape reproach.
“I’m fine, just a little tired.”
Ye Jiuge swung her sore, painful right arm. Today’s application of her needle technique had been even more tiring than last time, when she’d treated Imperial Consort Xi.
Bai Songling heaved a sigh of relief. He lowered his head to look at the Poison Earthworm’s carcass and said, “Eldest Miss, has His Highness been cured of the poison?”
“The residual toxins have been forced out. However, to completely eradicate it, the Fire Dragon Herb is still required. If not, the residual poison will slowly erode his backbone like before, and he will not be able to walk.”
