Three...
In total, eight poisonous insects. Shen Chuwei's skin crawled at the sight of them; these were the insects that incessantly fed on Xiao Jinyan's flesh and blood, preventing his wounds from healing.
At this moment, Lin Xian's face was somewhat pale from the pain. As the poisonous insects crawled out of the flesh, it seemed as if he was being pricked by needles. With every insect that emerged, he had to endure such intense pain.
He clenched his teeth without uttering a sound.
Shen Chuwei noticed Xiao Jinyan sweating profusely from the pain, and her heart ached unbearably. She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It will be over soon, just a little longer."
The tone that coddled like one would a child left Lin Xian caught between laughter and tears.
Ouyang Jingyuan secured the bamboo tube and said, "All the poisonous insects have crawled out now."
Shen Chuwei sincerely expressed her gratitude, "Thank you."
