Granny Qu asked anxiously, “Miss Feng, didn’t you stop the bleeding before? Why is it happening again? What’s going on?”
Feng Wu stared back at Granny Qu. “That’s my question for you. I stopped the bleeding, but why have the wounds burst open again?!”
Granny Qu was baffled. That was what she was trying to figure out as well.
“Mrs Ning has been poisoned.” Feng Wu smirked.
“Poisoned?!” Everyone looked at Feng Wu in disbelief. How was that possible?
Feng Wu pricked the skin on Mrs Ning’s throat with a golden needle and dark green blood oozed out right away.
The stench and the color of that blood were proof enough!
Feng Xun jumped to his feet and yelled at Granny Qu. “Granny Qu, is that how you lot take care of my aunt? She was poisoned under your watch!”
A murderous look filled Feng Xun’s eyes and he looked terrifying!
Scared out of their wits, Granny Qu and the others prostrated themselves on the ground. Granny Qu cried out, “How can her ladyship be poisoned? Her blood was normal when Miss Feng delivered the babies…”
Feng Wu nodded. “She’s right. Mrs Ning’s blood was normal during labor, or the two babies would have been poisoned as well. The fact that they’re fine indicates that Mrs Ning was poisoned after the birth. Now, think carefully. Who’s been in contact with Mrs Ning during this period?”
Feng Wu drew out the foul blood from Mrs Ning as she spoke.
The dark green blood filled an entire bowl.
Examining Mrs Ning, who was barely breathing, Feng Wu shook her head. “This won’t do. Mrs Ning already lost a lot of blood during childbirth, and after this, she has too little blood left. She’ll die if we don’t do something about it.”
“What should we do, then?” Feng Xun’s forehead was covered with sweat.
Feng Wu said, “I need Spiritual Dragon Tongue Grass and Dark Netherworld Soil.”
“No problem! I’ll go get them!” Feng Xun promptly turned to leave, but he realized something almost at once. Turning back, he asked Feng Wu, “Do you know where I can find them?”
Feng Wu stared into Feng Xun’s eyes. “You won’t find them anywhere in Wanping Town or Anping City. But I know that you can find them in Frozen Forest and I know exactly where to find them.
“Moreover, Mrs Ning only has six hours left. We’ll need four hours to find those ingredients and another two to refine the medicine. This is the only way to save Mrs Ning!”
“The only way?” Feng Xun gritted his teeth.
“The only way.” Feng Wu nodded earnestly.
Feng Xun took a deep breath. “Fine! So be it! I’ll take you to that mountain, but you have to promise me that you won’t run off and will stray no more than three meters from me!”
With Feng Wu’s capability, if she went into Frozen Forest while the magical beasts were running amok everywhere, she would be torn to pieces by a mere wind created by a galloping beast.
Feng Wu nodded. “Deal.”
Once that was settled, Feng Xun wasted no time. He turned to Mrs Yan. “Auntie, when I come back, I hope you’ll have an answer ready for me!”
Feng Xun wanted to get to the bottom of it. He had to know who had poisoned Mrs Ning!
Mrs Yan took a deep breath and looked back at him with a grim look on her face. “Leave it to me!”
Feng Xun took Feng Wu’s wrist and dashed off in the direction of Death Valley. Watching them from behind, Mrs Yan frowned a little. Weren’t those two a little too close?
