Shi Wan frowned slightly and directly tore open Shen Siyan's clothes. Seeing his six-pack abs exposed in front of her, she involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The man's face suddenly turned ashen. He stared at her with a murderous look in his eyes.
If he weren't completely weak now, this woman would deserve to die a hundred times to relieve his hatred!
"I didn't expect you to still be alive after being poisoned. It's really not easy."
This was no ordinary poison. It was extremely domineering and well - hidden. Ordinary people couldn't detect it at all.
It could not only damage people's organs but also gradually drive them insane and make them irritable. In the end, there was only one way out: death.
However, this poison...
Shi Wan stared at him and suddenly had an idea. "Second Young Master Shen, how about making a deal?"
"What deal?"
Shen Siyan didn't expect Shi Wan to be able to tell that he was poisoned. His eyes darkened, and his tone involuntarily carried a murderous intent.
"I'll help you detoxify, and you have to guarantee that no one in the Shen family will bully me."
"Why should I trust you?"
Shi Wan thought the negotiation wouldn't go smoothly. She took out the pre - prepared pill and threw it to him.
"Take this. It can relieve your pain."
Seeing that Shen Siyan was still hesitating, she continued, "Even if you don't trust me, no one can cure your illness. You either trust me or face death."
The confidence in the woman's eyes seemed to have a magical power. Shen Siyan said nothing more and swallowed the pill in one gulp. His body really felt much more comfortable.
Shi Wan knew that the man had tacitly agreed to the deal. She stepped forward and patted his pectoral muscles. "Lie down."
"You're looking for death?!"
The warmth on his chest made Shen Siyan feel greatly humiliated. He firmly grasped her hand and growled.
Shi Wan: "..."
Although this was the most good - looking man she had ever seen, she wasn't so beastly as to take advantage of a patient.
Biting back her temper, she forced a fake smile. "Second Young Master Shen, how can I treat you if you don't lie down properly?"
The man stared at her. "You'd better understand that this is the Shen family."
Once something happened to him, whether she was the culprit or not, the old master of the Shen family wouldn't let her go easily.
However, not only for the Shen family, but also for her mission and her unstable spiritual power, she wouldn't let him die.
After a while, Shi Wan withdrew the needles. "I've temporarily stabilized your condition. It will take some time to completely cure you."
Shen Siyan grunted. His body did feel much more relaxed than before. This woman was a bit capable.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, the woman in front of him suddenly grabbed his hand. Her soft and delicate hand carried a touch of coolness.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Siyan's eyes flickered slightly. He wanted to pull back his hand, but she held it even tighter.
"Taking your pulse."
"Even if I haven't studied traditional Chinese medicine, I should know that the pulse is usually taken at the wrist joint."
Shi Wan lied without batting an eyelid and held his hand even tighter.
"You're out of touch. This is my latest research. I'm just showing off. You don't understand."
Shen Siyan: "..."
She carefully felt the presence of her spiritual power. She found that after the contact between them, her spiritual power recovered faster. In a short while, one - third of it had recovered.
Shen Siyan's poison was no simple matter. Without her spiritual power, Shi Wan couldn't detoxify him. That was why only she could cure him.
His gaze fell on their clasped hands. Shen Siyan lowered his eyes, and a strange feeling flashed through his heart.
"Alright, it's so late. Go to sleep."
When her spiritual power had almost recovered, Shi Wan let go of his hand and walked to the only big bed to lie down.
"Remember to turn off the light. Otherwise, I can't sleep."
Shen Siyan's face darkened. "This is my room."
"I'm your savior."
Looking at Shi Wan lying down comfortably, Shen Siyan was so angry that his teeth itched. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted.
"Or do you want me to sleep with you?" Shi Wan turned over, propped up her head, and sized up Shen Siyan from head to toe. "It's okay. I'm just afraid your body won't be able to handle me."
The man's face darkened, and his earlobes blushed slightly. "In your dreams!"
Seeing him lying uneasily on the sofa, his 1.9 - meter - tall figure looked out of place on the sofa.
She withdrew her gaze, her eyes calm.
...
"Master, this is the medicine ordered by the old master."
The next day, Shi Wan yawned and came downstairs. She saw a maid put a bowl of black Chinese medicine in front of Shen Siyan.
Seeing Shi Wan come down, Shen Siyan said calmly, "We're going to pay respects to the elders in the family later. Do you know the procedure?"
Shi Wan nodded. As his voice faded, her peripheral vision suddenly stopped when it swept over the bowl of medicine. She sat in front of him, propping her chin on one hand. Her beautiful eyes lifted slightly, smiling meaningfully, with a lazy and elegant demeanor.
"Second Young Master Shen, how much is your life worth?"
Shen Siyan was stunned by her sudden question. He looked up. "What do you mean?"
"If it's worth a lot..." She propped her hand on the table and looked at him up close. "I might make a fortune. If you're not rich, how about holding hands once for each time I save you?"
Although this sounded like a hooligan's words, she could replenish her spiritual power at any time.
Shen Siyan unexpectedly met her beautiful black - and - white eyes. Her natural fox - like eyes were clear. Innocent and unconsciously charming, under her straight and delicate nose, her slightly parted red lips were extremely tempting, which really tugged at people's hearts.
Shen Siyan's eyes flickered slightly. He calmly shifted his gaze, but his ears were completely red.
Why did this woman keep flirting with men? Didn't she know what modesty was?
"Second Young Master Shen, who gave you this bowl of medicine? There's something deadly in it."
Seeing that he didn't answer but his ears were red, Shi Wan pouted.
It was just about replenishing spiritual power. This innocent boy wouldn't have thought wrongly, would he?
"Aunt Zhou!"
After what happened last night, Shen Siyan trusted her medical skills. Hearing what she said, he naturally didn't doubt anything else. He composed himself and called an elderly maid.
"Master, what..." Aunt Zhou came out of the kitchen. Seeing the medicine still there, she quickly said, "Master, if the medicine gets cold, its efficacy will be weakened. You'd better drink it quickly."
"Yes, Second Young Master. If you don't drink it soon, the poison in it will have been in vain."
"Madam, what are you talking nonsense about? What poison?"
Aunt Zhou was secretly delighted to have an extra helper when she heard the first half of Shi Wan's words, but her face turned green instantly when she heard the second half!
This newly - married young mistress was just a country bumpkin. Even the young master couldn't tell that there was something added to the medicine. How could a village girl like her tell? She must be making it up!
"Madam, this is the medicine the old master prepared to condition the young master's body. Do you mean that the old master wants to harm the young master?"
"Since it's not, this bowl of medicine is for you. Make sure to drink it all up."
Shi Wan didn't miss the flash of panic in Aunt Zhou's eyes. Neither did Shen Siyan. With a straight face, he said two words, "Drink it."
If only Shi Wan suspected, Aunt Zhou would have argued, but since Shen Siyan had spoken, there was only one outcome if she didn't drink.
That was, death.
Aunt Zhou was like a heroic soldier going to battle at this moment. With a determined look on her face, she picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one go.
"I've drunk the medicine. Can I leave now?"
