Zhu Yanyi did not know what was happening with Yan Aohan. While detoxifying Ouyang Manqing, she continued to refine medicines. Her skills with her ability had become very familiar and fast. However, her wood-type ability had stopped improving. This meant refining these medicines no longer helped her grow. She did not know how to improve her ability further, so she decided to let things happen naturally. At least, her current ability was enough for her needs.
"The poison in Aunt Manqing’s body is completely gone," Zhu Yanyi said after six days of treatment. She gave Xie Yijun and Ouyang Manqing a definite answer. She then took out an antique-style wooden box and opened it. Inside was a box of ointment.
"Use it the same way as before. Apply it to the areas you want after bathing. You can use the extra on your face or exposed skin. It whitens and protects the skin. Do not worry about side effects. This ointment is made from pure Chinese herbs. I wanted to give more, but this box will last Aunt Manqing for a year. The ointment loses its effect after a year. If you want more later, I can send it to you."
"I will not be polite then," Ouyang Manqing said, taking the box. She no longer wrapped her face in gauze. There were only faint marks left, invisible unless looked at closely. So, she did not want to cover her face. "Can I use this as cold cream?"
"Yes. Once your marks are gone, you can use it as cold cream," Zhu Yanyi nodded. This ointment was originally meant to be cold cream. "It has no medicinal smell. I do not know what scent Aunt Manqing likes. This box smells like lotus flowers."
"I like this scent," Ouyang Manqing smiled. "I like any good smell. I do not have a specific favorite. This lotus scent is light and fresh. It feels comfortable. I like it."
"That is good," Zhu Yanyi smiled gently. "That is all. But I still say, you should find the person who poisoned you soon. If she can poison you once, she can do it again. Who knows what poison she will use next?"
Xie Yijun, listening nearby, suddenly spoke up. "Ani, you are a doctor. Do you have any emergency antidote pills? Give me ten or eight. I do not mind having many."
"Are you feeding pigs? Ten or eight?" Zhu Yanyi glared at Xie Yijun. She did not understand how such a brain could become a top actor and later a famous director. "Do you think antidotes are easy to make?"
Still, she took a small porcelain bottle from her medical kit and gave it to Xie Yijun. "There are only three pills here. No more. If you encounter poison, eat one quickly. It can cure common poisons directly. If it is a special poison, it can suppress it for three days. In those three days, you can find me."
Xie Yijun did not hesitate. He took it and smiled. "Then I will not be polite. Uncle thanks you, Ani. Ani, why don’t you come to Modu to study?" He clearly had ulterior motives, like a big bad wolf.
"I even refused to study in Jingdu. Do you think I will go to Modu?" Zhu Yanyi was speechless at Xie Yijun’s unrealistic idea.
