บท 1954: I Will Do As You Say

Yuhang Zhenren gazed at Gu Xijiu with eyes full of hope and said, "Chongsheng, do you know about this type of poison? How should we cure it?"

Gu Xijiu remained silent. Instead, she circled Qing Luo to observe her. Then, she took out a light blue needle. As seen from her eyes, panic started to fall upon Qing Luo. Swiftly, Gu Xijiu placed several needles on her neck, her hands, and her back.

Qing Luo was suffering from a severe itching all over her body. She wanted to bite on anything just to feel better. Gu Xijiu's acupuncture treatment gave her an immediate sense of relief, at least for now.

She gasped for air, hoping that Gu Xijiu would place a few more needles to save her from the misery. The blue needles had visibly turned pink. Only the very end of the needle, the part where Gu Xijiu was holding, was still in its original color.

She flicked the needle away, and it disappeared instantly when it hit the wall.
