Chapter 333: 333 Toxins in the Blood Chapter 333: 333 Toxins in the Blood Sikong Mo was not blind; he too had seen the items stacked in that place.
They were merely some rare fruits and various animal skins. For Sikong Mo, these items, which could be acquired with money, truly stirred no waves in his eyes.
The only thing truly peculiar was the man boxed up!
He seemed to only be able to stand and speak within it and couldn’t come out. Moreover, his attire was really bizarre; it was unclear what exactly he was.
“Those mundane objects, of course, wouldn’t catch the Prince’s eye, but it seems the Prince’s health isn’t very good. I can obtain some things that ordinary people can’t. If the Prince would keep a secret for me, perhaps I could help you!” Ye Jiu was very serious.
Sikong Mo looked at Ye Jiu, her eyes reflecting nothing but coldness and scheming, the only thing absent was mercy.
Just like how she had originally looked at him, so coldly, as if wishing he would die immediately.
Sikong Mo was very disappointed.
“What if I don’t agree?” His emotions surged, and his body began to lose control again.
Yet, Sikong Mo did not want others to see his vulnerability.
“If you don’t agree, then I… will have to resort to extreme measures!” It was then that a flicker of reluctance appeared in Ye Jiu’s eyes.
However, her steps closed in, she leaned forward, reaching for his chin…
After a long while, Ye Jiu held the medicine in her hand but couldn’t bring herself to force it into him.
Sikong Mo stood at one meter and ninety, with an aura that extended to two meters eighty, his features chiseled and exquisite to such an extent that she couldn’t imagine how, with this dose of medicine, he would become a fool who couldn’t even take care of himself.
Her fingers slowly clenched, tightly holding the medicine, Ye Jiu looked at Sikong Mo furiously.
Suddenly, Sikong Mo moved, fast as lightning.
In her shock, Ye Jiu was already fiercely pinned down by him.
“Ye Jiu, you should know, if the Prince wished to kill you, you would have absolutely no chance to resist. And the fact that the Prince doesn’t kill you is something you should be grateful for. You hesitated just now when you moved to act!” After Sikong Mo spoke, he saw something flowing on Ye Jiu’s forehead but it disappeared in an instant.
He didn’t want to delve into it further, also, his body was hardly holding up.
Sikong Mo knew that, under the current circumstances, the sudden issue with his body meant his plan to go to the capital city would likely be delayed again.
And, he didn’t know if the soldiers at the frontier border would be able to hold on!
“Ye Jiu, you are the only girl whom the Prince has been able to get close to these years. The Prince always feels there is something about you that makes him want to be near you. I think, I must know you, and though you might not believe this, remember, the Prince does not wish to hurt you, so be good.” Sikong Mo said weakly.
As his words fell, Sikong Mo let go of Ye Jiu and rose, disappearing into the vast night.
Outside, the pausing raindrops started to pour down heavily again. Ye Jiu walked to the window, suddenly worried. With such heavy rain and his condition, could he safely make it back?
Back in her space, Ye Jiu then asked La Sike, “That man, not long after he left, seemed to be in pain again. The medicine you provided seems to only suppress his pain temporarily. Do you know what’s actually wrong with his body?”
“His blood is very strange,” La Sike explained. “I just mentioned that the toxins in his blood were recently secreted. If the medicine I gave you can’t detoxify but only suppress temporarily, then it means his blood is still continuously secreting these toxins.”
Ye Jiu was shocked, “Still secreting, how could that be?”
