Sueños Florales en la Ciudad

Capítulo 134

She was deliberately going against Yu Xiaoyao! For someone as afraid of pain and death as her, cutting off her flesh was like taking her life; she wouldn't even do it if her mother offered it to a great hero!

Yu Xiaoyao lowered her voice and asked, "I'll just ask you one question: do you want me to bleed you?"

Feng Xue said softly, "Senior Yu, please don't make things difficult for Huihui!" Traditional Chinese medicine has concepts like synergy, mutual assistance, mutual restraint, and mutual destruction when combining medicines. Yu Xiaoyao probably meant to use the poison in Zhu Huihui's body to neutralize and counteract the poison in her eyes. However, taking Zhu Huihui's blood might harm her body, so it's best not to.

Zhu Huihui said with a worried look, "It's not that I'm reluctant, it's that I'm...it's that I'm afraid of the pain!"

With a mournful face, she said to Yu Xiaoyao, "Mother, don't you have any other ideas?"

Yu Xiaoyao glared at her, then suddenly turned and left.

When Zhu Huihui saw that the other person was giving up, she immediately panicked and pounced on her from behind to hug her: "Okay, okay! I'll give you some blood!"

Yu Xiaoyao snorted and stopped.

With tears streaming down his face, Zhu Huihui asked, "Mother, how much blood do you need?"

"Do what you think is best!"

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Zhu Huihui looked around, picked up a silver needle used by Madam Wan for acupuncture, extended a finger, hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth and pricked her fingertip, watching the drop of blood emerge, she endured the pain and generously said: "Mother, you can take it and use it!"

Seeing the tiny drop of blood, Yu Xiaoyao was so angry that she kicked Zhu Huihui in the butt, grabbed her wrist, pressed her down on the table, picked up her sword, and slashed at her wrist.

Zhu Huihui was held down by her mother and struggled desperately, but Yu Xiaoyao's hands were like iron clamps, and she couldn't move at all, so she couldn't help but scream "Wah wah".

Yu Xiaoyao shouted, "If you make any more noise, I'll cut off your tongue!" She grabbed a thick calligraphy brush from the desk, stuffed it into Zhu Huihui's mouth, then splashed the cold tea out of a teacup and used her sword to cut a gash on Zhu Huihui's toy.

Zhu Huihui forcefully spat out the brush, making a few "pui, pui" sounds. Seeing her blood flowing like a small spring into the teacup, filling almost half the cup in the blink of an eye, she was heartbroken even though she knew it was for the hero's eye treatment. She couldn't help but let out a loud cry of grief. As the old saying goes, with so much blood, how many steamed buns would she need to eat to replenish it!

Yu Xiaoyao said angrily, "Don't cry! If you knock the blanket over, we'll start over!"

Zhu Huihui dared not move, and screamed, "Mother, is that enough! I can't take it anymore! I'm going to die! I can't hold on any longer! Help!"

Feng Xue, unable to see clearly, heard Zhu Huihui crying miserably and, not knowing what Yu Xiaoyao had done to her, hurriedly said, "Senior Yu, stop! This is absolutely unacceptable!"

Yu Xiaoyao glanced at him sideways and said coldly, "What? You're worried about it?"

Maple Snow's face flushed slightly as she said, "Grey Grey and I... went through thick and thin together, so naturally... naturally..."

That's right! Even though he knew that Zhu Huihui could scream so loudly that even if she lost a single hair, he still couldn't help but feel heartbroken—even though he knew that Yu Xiaoyao was taking Huihui's blood to heal her own eyes!

Yu Xiaoyao's expression softened slightly, her eyes flickered, and she stopped speaking.

After bleeding through more than half a cup, the wound gradually clotted. Zhu Huihui looked at Yu Xiaoyao with teary eyes, afraid that her heartless mother would think there wasn't enough blood and cut her again.

Yu Xiaoyao didn't make things difficult for her anymore. Seeing that it was about time, she said, "Go and give him the blood to drink!"

Zhu Huihui, holding the cup, asked, "Are you just going to drink like this?"

"You want to make it into steamed blood tofu?"

Zhu Huihui didn't dare to talk back. She looked at Feng Xuese, carefully picked up the quilt, and brought it to Feng Xuese's side: "Great hero, you should drink it now!"

Feng Xuese could only smell a strong stench of blood. Although she knew it was to cure her poison, she smiled and said that the blood in the cup was grayish, and ultimately couldn't bear to drink it.

Zhu Huihui thought he disliked the taste of her blood, so she persuaded him, "Hero, my blood tastes quite good. It's...sweet, and very fresh, still steaming hot!" She was afraid that if he didn't drink it, not only would his eyes not get better, but it would also be a waste of the blood she had shed after being stabbed!

Maple Snow felt extremely nauseous at what she said, and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work, Grey!" Hesitantly, she brought her lips to the rim of the cup.

Suddenly, Madam Wan said, "Huihui, wait a minute!"

Zhu Huihui tilted her head and asked, "Madam... what is it?"

Previously, she had always felt an overwhelming affection for Mr. Chen and Mrs. Wan, partly because they were gentle and loving towards her, which filled her with gratitude, and partly because of their natural blood ties. But now, knowing that they were actually her biological parents, she felt awkward and didn't even know how to interact with them.

Madam Wan said, "Grey Grey, do you still remember how that lecherous fiend died back in Qingfengya?"

Zhu Huihui thought for a moment and then understood, saying, "He...he was poisoned to death by my blood!" That lecherous bastard had been licking her blood...

That was just a drop of blood on the needle, yet it turned the evil spirit to ashes in the wind. Just how potent was the poison in her body? She looked at the bright red liquid in the cup and shuddered. So much blood—if the hero were to drink it…

Yu Xiaoyao didn't say anything, only gave a slight cold laugh.

Zhu Huihui stared at her for a long time before finally making up her mind: "My mother wouldn't lie to me!"

Although she spoke loudly, she was actually quite unsure of herself. Damn it! Hadn't she lied to herself enough? So she added, "Right, hero?"

Feng Xuese smiled and hummed in agreement, then drank the blood in the cup in one gulp.

He wasn't convinced that Yu Xiaoyao wouldn't lie to Zhu Huihui; he was gambling. Although Yu Xiaoyao acted wickedly and ruthlessly, and often beat and scolded Huihui, she was actually quite indulgent towards her. He was betting on that rare glimmer of humanity in Yu Xiaoyao!

Did he win or lose the bet?

Although Zhu Huihui's blood wasn't sweet, it wasn't unpleasant to drink either. Feng Xuese, though she had never drunk human blood before, knew that normal human blood shouldn't taste like that. That was naturally because Huihui's blood was poisonous.

Remembering what Yu Xiaoyao had said—that Huihui might not live past twenty—he felt an overwhelming sadness. Just then, he felt a chill spreading from his stomach outwards. He shivered and quickly closed his eyes, guiding the chill through his meridians. Before long, his eyes felt fine, but his limbs gradually regained strength…

The little fish demon said that many poisons in the world have no antidote, because the antidote is the poison itself—Grey's blood's ability to counteract poison is so fast, the poison in her body... is indeed powerful!

Everyone stared intently at him, and when they saw a smile appear on Feng Xuese's handsome face, they finally felt relieved.

Zhu Huihui exclaimed in delight, "Mother, the hero smiled!"

When Yu Xiaoyao first heard Huihui say, "My mother wouldn't lie to me," she was already overjoyed, having already humiliated Wan Ning. She immediately laughed and said, "What is this little poison compared to the poison in your body? If the poison in your body is second in the world, then I'm afraid no poison would dare to claim to be number one! Hehe! Let him slowly guide his true energy to expel the poison. When the poison reaches his eyes and the two poisons meet, then naturally the stronger one will win!"

This sounded like a compliment, but Zhu Huihui felt uneasy: "Mother, are you saying that my flesh and blood will kill someone who isn't poisoned, but can cure illness and remove the poison if eaten by someone who is poisoned?"

Yu Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Simply put, that's the principle!"
