"It really is the poison of the Ghost-devouring Rhinoceros Beetle." Li Jingsong sighed and said, "Being poisoned by the Ghost-devouring Rhinoceros Beetle and lasting until now is thanks to his cultivation technique and his physique."
"Can it be cured?" Li Changqing hurriedly asked.
"There is indeed a way." Li Jingsong stood up, sighed lightly, and said, "Although the poison of the Ghost-devouring Rhinoceros Beetle is very tricky and can be lethal at once, it strengthens when it encounters strength. The poison produced in the human body targets the person’s level of cultivation; after releasing poison, the Ghost-devouring Rhinoceros Beetle will not release it again for half a year."
"In other words, the poison in Li Hengsheng’s body right now is deadly for him, but that’s only because he is at the Ninth Layer of the Transcendent Realm, so his physique can suppress the poison. However, for those with higher cultivation, this poison is not enough to be lethal."
"Although it is not fatal, some damage to the cultivation is inevitable."
"But that’s still better than dying. So, as long as we find someone with high cultivation to suck out the poison from Li Hengsheng’s mouth using their powerful energy, the Ghost-devouring Rhinoceros Beetle in the body is no longer a concern, I have my ways to resolve it."
After speaking, Li Jingsong glanced at the people present, as if saying, who among you will do it?
"Huh?"
"Does it have to be mouth-to-mouth?"
Everyone was stunned. This method of detoxification seemed a bit too...
"Not me. It’s my first kiss. I still want to get married someday." Yang Tiantian was about to cry. Although she felt responsible, she couldn’t bring herself to kiss Li Hengsheng mouth-to-mouth, and so she stepped back.
But a look of struggle flashed across Yang Tiantian’s face. If in the end there really was no other way, then... maybe she would have to risk it. Li Hengsheng being poisoned in her presence implicated her as well.
"I’ll do it!" Xu Muhai at this moment fully demonstrated the duties of being a master.
"I’m his master. If I don’t do it, who will?" Xu Muhai stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, even stretched his mouth, took a deep breath, and prepared to go ahead.
Li Changqing’s face under the mask turned blue, and he vaguely saw some chives stuck in Xu Muhai’s teeth.
It was hard to watch.
"Muhai, you can’t." Just as Xu Muhai was about to take action, Li Jingsong calmly said.
"Why?" Xu Muhai was taken aback.
"Your body contains the Ghost Grudge Curse. Although I don’t know how you managed to suppress the Ghost Grudge Curse, if you absorb the poison of the Ghost-devouring Rhinoceros Beetle, the mixing of the two would be beyond salvation even for a deity." Li Jingsong glanced at the little ghost claw on Xu Muhai’s neck.
"This..." Xu Muhai was also startled, then looked at Li Changqing with a troubled expression.
The others also looked at Li Changqing.
Since none of them were willing, it was up to him.
"Is it only up to me?"
Li Changqing was a bit embarrassed. Sucking the poison from his son mouth-to-mouth didn’t seem like much; after all, a father kissing his son wasn’t unusual when they were young, but now that his son was so grown, many kids his age already had children.
Meeting his son for the first time and having to do such an intimate act?
But for his son’s life, damn it, he’d risk everything.
Kiss...?
Li Changqing walked over, looked at Li Hengsheng’s lips, took a deep breath, and steeled himself mentally.
Where’s the kid’s mom?
Where’s the kid’s wife?
Where’s Ah Fei?!
Ah Fei, who was lying on the table, suddenly shivered for no apparent reason.
