 "You have saved my life?" Asks Jun Qianye, staring at the woman under his body, and his eyes are filled with rage.

With her clenched teeth, she manages with great pain to say "H'm".

Mr. Zong couldn't bear seeing this, and he makes a step forward, saying, "My Lord, what she says is true. It is Miss Nangong who transfers the poisons from your body with the help of her phoenix bracelet. Now the toxins are almost transferred to her body. It is the pills that I gave her restrain temporarily the outbreak of the toxins in her body. But I am afraid that the toxicity of the hundred-variety-venomous insects is too potent for the anti-toxin pills to restrain. It will not take long for the outbreak of the toxins to …"

Weichu says, "There is no need for my Lord to worry about her life. It is this woman who interrupted our Lord's detoxification." Looking at Nangong Ning, who now is still lying on the ground with the Lord on top of her body, Weichu adds, "She deserves to be dead, but that would not bother our Lord to do."

Jun Qianye frowns.

He looks straight at the girl under his body.

He sees that there appears something dark black in the middle of her brows, which shows that she is seriously poisoned. But she stares back at him, with a firm and unyielding look in her eyes.

Just as he is about to speak, her face changes, her mouth opens and a mouthful of black blood spurts out.

Jun Qianye is startled to see this and tries hastily to escape, but he is too close to Nangong Ning and there is still a little amount of residual poison in his body, as a result, he is not quick enough in his movement.

Suddenly he feels something cold on his face. It is blood, the black blood from Nangong Ning's mouth sprayed all over his face!

The toxin in Nangong Ning's body breaks out!

Meanwhile, Nangong Ning desperately tries hard to push Jun Qianye off from her. Perhaps due to the blood all over his face, Jun Qianye gets completely confused at the moment, therefore, he is pushed away by Nangong Ning.

Then, she rolls down from the bed.

  Mr. Zong is so frightened by the scene that his face turns deathly pale.

He sees blood coming from her nose, her eyes, and her ears all of a sudden.

A very scary scene it is!

Terrible as she is, Nangong Ning is crawling on the ground. She is crawling toward Mr. Zong! Suddenly she stops at the foot of Mr. Zong and lies there motionlessly.

"Dead?" It is Jun Qianye who asks, for he is now full of anger, a kind of unwilling and inexplicable anger.

It is this woman who "humiliates" him in the detoxing pool, who bites him and gushes dirty blood on his face! Jun Qianye has never been so insulted in his life by the same woman for so many times!

How can she be dead without his severe punishment?

Mr. Zong rushes up and takes Nangong Ning's pulse firmly.

There is no heaving pulse!

Is she really dead?

However, Mr. Zong takes out an acupuncture needle, very thick, and inserts it with a sound of poof into her skin at the acupoint of her heart.

With just one acupuncture needle, the "dead" girl abruptly opens her eyes, with her pupils contracting. But somehow, with unknown strength, the dying girl starts crawling forward. Her strength is so powerful that Mr. Zong is knocked down where he is in the way.

When Nangong Ning has approached the stacks of the Chinese traditional medical herbs that she asked others to collect, she acts madly.

Mr. Zong, Weichu and Jun Qianye are all startled by her action.

It takes Mr. Zong a few minutes before he realizes that "Miss Nangong is self-detoxifying her own body!"

When Nangong Ning asked to get the herbs ready, which are over one hundred varieties, Mr. Zong thought they were for the sake of Jun Qianye. Now he understands that they are for herself.

Even if she knows the method of detoxification, how can she do it within a limited time since the toxins she gets are poisons from the hundred-variety-venomous insects!

Just as it is expected, shortly after she puts a dozen herbs into her mouth, she falls down motionlessly on the ground with a sound of plonk.

Seeing that she is motionless lying there with her face down, Jun Qianye asks stupidly, "Dead again?"

No sooner had he asked the question than she started munching on those herbs madly again.

It is not until the third time that Nangong Ning starts munching on the herbs that Mr. Zong comes to his senses and comes up to her, squatting down on her side, saying, "Let me help you, Miss Nangong."

On hearing this, Weichu is about to stop Mr. Zong, only to be stopped by Jun Qianye, who waves his hand with a cold look in his eyes.

Jun Qianye doesn't believe that Nangong Ning could do self-detoxification by eating these herbs. But something catches his interest. He just wants to see how this woman, who does not give up in the hopeless situation, desperately struggling to survive in despair.

At this moment, Nangong Ning has nothing to think about but to save her own life on her own. She doesn't want to lose her life again so soon.

She has the phoenix bracelet, which has the function of detecting toxins. She herself is a poisoner, and as long as she could find out what kinds of toxins she has, she would come up with the antidotes.

But now she is fighting against time. She does not stop to relax until she has eaten one third of all the herbs there.

Then she says, "Fat Old Man, please help me decoct all these herbs. And one decoction with three kinds ..."

Mr. Zong ignores her addressing him as a "Fat Old Man". As a doctor, he knows that it is a race against time now, so he is in a hurry to do what she instructs. Since there are too many herbs, he asks others to help.

For a moment, the room is filled with a strong smell of decocting herbs.

Every time a bowl of decoction of herbs is ready, she drinks it all. Since it is so hot that her mouth is full of bubbles. She is keeping drinking the decoction of herbs as the toxins keep showing their effect, and she is vomiting while drinking. In the end, only about 7 to 8 out of the 30 bowls of decoctions she has drunk come into her body.

It really takes time to decoct these herbs. Since there are so many of the herbs to decoct, the whole afternoon is spent in doing the decoction.
