Tang Li followed a group of people into the room. When she reached the room, she saw a tall and sturdy man with strong facial features lying there. At that moment, the man looked extremely scary. The skin on his face was purplish brown, and even the blood flowing out of his wounds was purplish brown.
Tang Li walked over and did a quick check. She turned around and said to the few of them, “He has been poisoned by the Purple Night Bell Flower. The smell of this poison is slightly contagious. You guys go out and apply these herbs on the body and then eat these… I’ll stay here and help him detoxify.”
When they heard that, both the doctors and the men in windbreakers had a drastic change in expression. Clearly, they were frightened by Tang Li’s words.
“Hurry up and get out. Although the scent of this flower isn’t directly in contact with you guys, I believe that you have definitely touched his blood. I don’t have the energy to save all of you later!”
Tang Li’s expression turned serious. Terrified by what she said, the group of people ran out at once.
When the door was closed, Tang Li looked at the poisoned man and raised her hand to stroke his head. When the man regained consciousness, she said, “I saved your life, but you have to give me something in return. I’ve taken a fancy to the copper bell on your body. If you’re willing to exchange the copper bell for your life, I’ll save you. If you agree, move your eyeballs.”
The man lying on the bed moved his eyeballs to indicate that he agreed.
Tang Li was elated. “Deal. You don’t mind me getting the copper bell first before I give you the antidote, do you?”
Tang Li reached out her hand to his neck without waiting for his reply.
The copper bell looked archaic. It was only the size of a dumpling. There was no bell inside yet, and the man was hanging it around his neck with a piece of string. Tang Li untied the string around his neck and removed the copper bell.
She then looked at the man and placed her hand on his wound.
Under the fluorescent light, the man’s skin and blood quickly returned to their original color.
Within ten minutes, the poison in the man’s body was completely removed.
Tang Li retracted her hand and looked at the copper bell in her other hand. She announced happily, “Alright, the poison is gone.”
Fu Junye knew that he was going to die soon, but he wasn’t ready for death. There were still many things he hadn’t done. He still hadn’t found his long-lost sister. If he really died just like that, he would not rest in peace.
In order to survive, he slashed many times on his body with a knife after being poisoned, so that he would not die from the poison on the way. But he didn’t expect the poison to be so deadly.
Just when he thought he was going to die, he heard a heavenly voice. The copper bell was his family heirloom, but he was more than willing to give her in exchange for his life. If she could save him, he was even ready to become her life-long servant.
So when she asked him, he agreed without hesitation.
He thought that detoxification would be very troublesome, but very soon, he felt the changes in his body. Just when he was still trying to get used to the changes, he heard the woman’s heavenly voice again. “Alright, you’re safe now.”
Fu Junye was excited, and slowly he started to open his eyes.
His vision was blurry at first, then gradually became clear.
A peerlessly beautiful face appeared in front of him. The smile on her face was so contagious that it made people want to smile at her.
In a daze, Fu Junye thought to himself, “Is she a fairy?”
When Tang Li saw that the patient had opened his eyes, she waved the copper bell in front of him and said, “This copper bell is now mine. I don’t care what meaning it has to you, but you can forget about taking it back from me. Otherwise, you will know the consequences of breaking your promise.”
When Fu Junye heard this, he immediately snapped out of his trance. He opened his mouth, only to realize that his throat was dry and uncomfortable. His voice was hoarse and rough. “I won’t go back on my word.”
Tang Li nodded in satisfaction.
Fu Junye looked at her and asked, “Are you a fairy? Otherwise, how could you have removed the poison so fast?”
Tang Li was amused when she heard that and nodded. “Yes, I am a fairy.”
She continued, “However, I’m a fairy who has descended to the mortal world to train. If you still have anything you want to know, I can help you answer it. But, you’ll have to pay.”
Fu Junye suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was just a mortal. However, although a mortal, she gave off an impression that she was in possession of some mystic powers.
“You know witchcraft?”
“Is that actually a thing?”
“It is.”
“Well then, whatever.”
“…”
“…”
Tang Li suddenly asked, “Do you have a watch or phone?”
Fu Junye stretched out his wrist to take a look. There was no watch on it, so he turned his head to the side and saw the watch on the medicine cabinet.
Tang Li also saw it, so she grabbed it and took a look. When she saw that she had been out for an hour, she said, “I’m going back. If there is anything you want me to do, you can find me at any time. Of course, the commission fee will be very high, so be mentally prepared.”
Fu Junye looked at her, pursed his lips, and asked, “How do I contact you?”
Tang Li gave him her phone number. “You can send me a message. I’ll reply when I see it.”
She was about to leave when Fu Junye asked again, “What can you do?”
“I can read fortunes and do matchmaking. I can also treat all kinds of illnesses. As long as it’s related to these, you can look for me.”
Tang Li left after saying that.
The man did not stop her.
After Tang Li swaggered out of the villa, she returned to the villa where the old man was staying.
Not long after Tang Li left, two men in windbreakers walked in. At that moment, Fu Junye was already leaning against the headboard.
When they saw him sitting up, their eyes widened in shock.
“Boss, when is the poison removed?”
“Boss, you actually recovered!”
Fu Junye was also surprised. “Isn’t she the doctor you found for me?”
He felt that Tang Li was a doctor.
The two men quickly told him what had happened, and Fu Junye fell silent.
He asked, “Where’s my phone?”
The man in the light-colored windbreaker hurriedly passed the phone to him.
Fu Junye recalled the phone number the woman had given him earlier and sent a message, “I still don’t know your surname.”
When he finished editing and was about to send it out, he felt that it was too impolite. After deleting it, he typed again, “I’m Fu Junye, the person you saved today. I still don’t know your surname.”
But she didn’t reply.
Fu Junye was silent. The two men in windbreakers looked at each other.
At that moment, Tang Li went straight to the old man’s room.
She pushed open the door and saw Qi Yihan sitting by the bed talking to his father.
He was talking about the company. “Recently, I’ve been negotiating a huge project with a financial magnate from the M Nation. If nothing goes wrong, I’ll be staying overseas for the next half of the year.”
His father frowned, clearly disagreeing with him.
Qi Yihan seemed to have read his mind and added, “I’ll leave the company in brothers’ charge. As long as they don’t cause trouble, the company will be fine..”
