Chapter 2838: Chapter 2839: Reunion Without Meeting
"Also, I just poisoned him." Little Dengdeng grinned mischievously, "Mom said if anyone dares to bully us, we should hit back hard. She even gave me quite a few poisons, and I applied some on my hands beforehand. When he grabbed my neck, I pulled his hand."
"You, you, you play with poison too?" Gao Zhou’s beard trembled with anger, "Ruozhu is just being reckless, giving you poison!"
"Mom gave it to me for self-defense, I know my limits, I’m a big brother now." Little Dengdeng laughed, "I’m going to wash my hands, so I don’t poison you all."
Wan Caiyue hurriedly stopped him and called for a maid to bring water. By then, the bluish-purple color on Little Dengdeng’s lips had disappeared, returning to its normal color.
He washed his hands, turning the water black, and he carefully poured it at the wall root, not allowing anyone else to touch it.
Gao Zhou paced back and forth, clearly seeing that it was severe poison, and this child applied it to his own hands?
Chushuang pulled him aside, "Don’t compare Dengdeng to other kids, haven’t you noticed his talent in studying medicine and making poison?"
Gao Zhou was taken aback. Indeed, by conventional standards, it was too dangerous, but Dengdeng was highly talented, so it wasn’t impossible.
"How do you carry so many poisons?" Gao Zhou asked.
Dengdeng took out a small wooden horse from his body, his fingers swiftly pressing on it like a dragonfly touching water lightly.
The wooden horse quickly opened like a lotus flower, revealing many petals. Each petal was a compartment containing various medicines, including medicine bottles, herbal medicine, and pills.
Gao Zhou was dumbfounded. He couldn’t carry so much medicine himself, but this little guy had everything he needed!
"Does Grandpa like it? If you like, I’ll make one for you when I have time," Little Dengdeng said.
"Did you make this yourself?" This time it was Chushuang’s turn to be surprised.
Little Dengdeng smiled shyly, "I learned Mechanical Technique from Aunt Granny, but I’m still not skilled. The lotus petals are uneven in size, not very pretty. Please don’t laugh at me."
Chushuang quickly glanced at Gao Zhou. How old is he? He’s so skilled in Mechanical Technique already. This kid is defying the heavens. Who would dare laugh at you?
"We won’t laugh, we won’t laugh, our Dengdeng is amazing." Chushuang gave him a thumbs up.
Gao Zhou fell silent, feeling speechless and somewhat dejected. He was a transmigrator too, but he wasn’t as fortunate as Bai Ruozhu. Look at him, even his son is so incredible.
Or perhaps this little guy wasn’t even a transmigrator, yet he’s more talented than him, who has lived one more life through transmigration. How could he bear it?
Dengdeng pressed the small dot in the center of the lotus with his chubby finger, and the lotus closed back, transforming into an ordinary wooden puppy.
It’s hard to imagine how such a small wooden dog could transform into a lotus, able to store so many things. The Mechanical Technique is truly magical.
"Once I practice more, I’ll be able to make combat Mechanical Beasts. Next time, I’ll let the Mechanical Beasts fight and poison for me, so Grandpa won’t have to worry about me." Little Dengdeng said cleverly, seeing Gao Zhou’s displeased expression.
Indeed, this worked. Seeing that he knew his limits, Gao Zhou patted his little head and said, "Yes, send the Mechanical Beasts next time, and don’t take risks yourself."
"Mm-hmm, I’ve got it." He replied earnestly.
With the situation somewhat settled, Chushuang went to soothe the two little ones, while Gao Zhou sent a message to Bai Ruozhu and the others, urging them to return quickly. On one hand, they needed to break Bai Ruozhu’s Transfer Technique, and on the other hand, the Poison Master had escaped, and they were unsure if he’d return.
"If he wasn’t killed by my poison, he’s sure to come back," Little Dengdeng said matter-of-factly, "In storybooks, don’t villains always say this?"
Gao Zhou’s mind conjured up the image of the Big Bad Wolf saying: I will definitely come back!
His face was covered in black lines. Bai Ruozhu must have let the child read this comic.
Bai Zehao, upon hearing the news of the incident upon returning home, was briefly terrified, but learning of Dengdeng’s prowess, he gleefully lifted Dengdeng up, "Our Dengdeng is a genius!"
Dengdeng giggled, as all kids enjoy being lifted high.
...
On Bai Ruozhu’s side, after two days of recuperation in Space, she could finally move her right hand slowly, but her body was still immobile. She took a bite of Dimsum; at least she no longer needed Xiaohei and the others to feed her.
Though her Beast Pets were clever, they didn’t wash their hands...
"Master, can you hear me? Elder Lin over there achieved a great victory, capturing the Turkic prince alive, said to be King Qing’an." Yizi’s voice came from outside.
Bai Ruozhu wanted to go out but feared that all her efforts would be in vain if she did. Instead, she wrote a note and tossed it out.
"Remind them to return to the City immediately and to keep a close watch on King Qing’an, be cautious of internal spies," Yizi read the message aloud, then said towards the bed, "Master, I understand, I’ll send someone to Elder Lin right away."
Yizi left in large strides, and Bai Ruozhu also breathed a sigh of relief. Capturing the Turkic prince provided a bargaining chip for negotiations.
The main thing was successfully thwarting Ma Tongfang’s plan and killing Ma Xingguo, the son who was a source of disaster.
The price she paid was being affected by the Evil Technique, but it wasn’t entirely unsolvable. She just had to endure for a little longer.
At that moment, urgent footsteps were heard outside. Her heart skipped a beat. Even without seeing the person, she could still discern his footsteps, she was just that familiar with him.
"Ruozhu, I’m back. How are you?" Jiang Yichun rushed in and asked.
Bai Ruozhu was anxious. She couldn’t go out to pull him in, but if she went out, all her efforts in the Space would be wasted.
She had to resort to writing a note and tossing it out.
"I’m fine. This place can block the Transfer Technique. I daren’t leave lightly now; I want to wait for two more days to test it out."
"I’ll come in and accompany you." Jiang Yichun quickly said.
She wrote another note and tossed it out, suddenly feeling like she was passing notes during class in her previous life, which she found quite amusing, lifting her spirits a bit from gloominess.
"I can’t go out to pull you in, you stand guard outside for two days, and keep an eye on Zhu Ning," Bai Ruozhu wrote.
"Alright, I’ll wait for you." Jiang Yichun said, striding out. He wasn’t worried that Zhou Ning would die, but more worried about her seducing those guards. After all, they were bursting with youthful vigor, and Zhu Ning seemed to have an evil aura. If something happened, it would be Ruozhu who was humiliated.
Indeed, Jiang Yichun saw that Zhu Ning was winking at the guards watching over her. The guards’ faces turned red, likely hearing some vulgar talk from her. This woman was shameless.
"Zhu Ning, we’ve already found a way. Ruozhu said if you want to go for broke, she’ll risk serious injury to kill you," Jiang Yichun said intentionally.
"Would you bear it?" Zhu Ning smiled seductively at him.
Jiang Yichun snorted coldly, "I may not want to, but I can’t stand her being controlled by you like this any longer. At worst, we endure a bit. My father is a medical sage and can naturally save her life."
