Chapter 533: Chapter 543: Bitten

"I'm not joking, you know." Gu Youyou was indeed tired, developing the antidote had worn her out, leaving her with no energy for a war of words with him.

Seeing that she wasn't kidding, Yue Rujing grew even more scared. He exclaimed, "You really want to take it?"

Obviously, Gu Youyou nodded.

"This creature is the most poisonous snake in Zhuzhao Country, getting bitten by it is no joke—you'd be dead for sure, you know that?"

"I know," Gu Youyou nodded again, "that's why I need your help. It's too dangerous to do it alone. Last time I tried to extract its venom, I nearly got bitten."

Yue Rujing stood frozen on the spot, his mouth twitching once, then again, as if he was about to lose his mind.

She had actually extracted venom before, and she did it alone?

Yue Rujing set down the jade box, closed his eyes, and with the resolve of a warrior facing death, rolled up his sleeves to grab the snake.
