Chapter 18 An Invulnerable Body
A beautiful woman was reclining in a wheelchair on the carriage.
Her long eyelashes, which were tightly closed, trembled, as if she had sensed something.
His dark eyes opened slightly.
Looking down,
A blue venomous snake had somehow appeared beside the window and climbed onto the carriage.
Those were bright green eyes with a thin, vertical black line running down their center.
It was staring at the man inside, its forked tongue flicking out.
"hiss~"
Although Xie Ze looked weak, he wasn't afraid at all.
He stretched out his large, well-defined hand to the green snake in front of him.
They wanted to catch that green snake.
Sensing the threat, the green snake instantly opened its blood-red maw.
She bit down hard on the man's pale wrist, which was covered in a hint of blue.
"... "
The man looked at himself being bitten, but still managed a forced smile.
"You are so beautiful."
"It's a pity that making futile resistance will only lead to death in the end."
His eyes flashed sharply.
The long object in front of him was like a rope that offered no resistance.
The next second, it was mercilessly severed by the silver needle in his hand.
There was a "click" sound,
Several more lines appeared on the floor, with fresh, wriggling blue flesh inside.
The venomous snake on the man's wrist.
Even without a body, its head still clung tightly to the man.
Quite tenacious.
The man remained calm and did not remove the venomous snake from his hand.
He simply leaned back quietly into his wheelchair.
Looking at my wrist, I saw dark to black blood flowing out.
Gradually, the snake's head was eroded into a dark black color.
There was a "click" sound,
The snake's head instantly rolled its eyes and collapsed to the ground like a pile of garbage.
"... "
Xie Ze remained calm and took out a thin silver needle to insert into the acupoints on his wrist.
The wound's dark, unusual blood, unlike that of a normal person, stopped flowing.
Xie Ze's body was full of poison.
They were completely unconcerned about the venom of the snake.
exactly.
There is no poison in this world that he fears.
Because he himself is the most potent poison his father created.
Therefore, he is now immune to all poisons.
However, the new poison his father had given him recently had taken over his "healthy" body.
He looked down at the glazed bottle on the floor, the one where he had finished taking his medicine.
He pursed his lips slightly, lost in thought.
...
-Luan Town-
At the entrance of the Zhou family mansion.
A middle-aged man walked out of the Zhou family's house humming a little tune.
This person was none other than the butler, Uncle Zhou, who happened to be out running errands.
The guards outside the door, who had been looking rather lazy, suddenly noticed that the person who had come in was the butler.
He immediately straightened his back and greeted the butler who was leaving.
"Butler, are you going out on an errand? Do you need one of us to help you?"
Both guards were extremely obsequious.
Make the housekeeper happy.
He laughed and said:
"No need, considering how enthusiastic you two are. I'll transfer you to the front yard to guard the house later."
"Oh, thank you so much, butler."
The two guards rubbed their hands together happily.
I can sneak off in the front yard and nobody will know.
The pay is high, and I don't have to stand here like an idiot all day.
"Take good care of the mansion."
"Okay, butler. Don't worry, with us here watching over things, not even a mouse will get in."
"Haha, very good."
The butler gave this reminder to the two guards standing at the door.
At this moment, a motorcade suddenly arrived at the entrance of the Zhou residence.
The two servants at the door served as a reminder to the steward.
"Butler, who are they?"
Butler Zhou looked at the convoy, but it wasn't the convoy he recognized.
If it were the Zhou family's caravan, the carriages would definitely bear the Zhou family's markings.
He instructed the two people at the door,
"You guys keep a close watch on the door, I'll go ask first."
"Yes."
Steward Zhou walked into the caravan and asked the young man who had just dismounted from the carriage.
"Excuse me, what brings you to the gate of the Zhou residence?"
"Your young lady encountered bandits on the road..."
"what!!!"
The butler was taken aback and panicked. He was about to turn around and run back to report the news.
"Something terrible has happened! Miss is in trouble!"
"and many more!"
The young man quickly grabbed him.
The man was extremely strong; he almost pulled the butler off his feet.
Fortunately, just as he was falling backward, a strong hand caught him in the back.
That's how he wasn't embarrassed in the street.
"Your young lady is alright, she's in the carriage now."
"really?"
"Yes."
Gu Chaomu led him to the second carriage and gently knocked on the door.
Buckle.
"Miss Zhou, we have arrived at the Zhou residence. Your butler has come to greet you."
"Ok."
Hearing the young lady's voice coming from inside, Uncle Zhou felt much more at ease.
Seeing Zhou Xinyue actually get out of the carriage, he stepped forward and asked with concern:
"Miss, I just heard this young hero say that you encountered bandits. Are you alright? Are you injured anywhere?"
"Uncle Butler, I'm fine."
Zhou Xinyue glanced at the young man opposite her without realizing it, and continued with a smile:
"Fortunately, thanks to Young Master Gu's rescue, Xinyue is unharmed."
The butler could tell at a glance that his young mistress had fallen in love.
It turned out that the young man was the young lady's savior.
He patted his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:
"You really scared me to death, butler. If something had happened to you, Miss, the master would have been very sad."
His gaze shifted to Gu Chaomu, and he said gratefully:
"Fortunately, this young hero saved your life, I am so grateful to you."
"Don't be so polite, steward. This is what we chivalrous heroes should do."
"Now that we've taken Miss Zhou home, we should continue our journey. Farewell!"
Zhou Xinyue panicked for a moment and immediately grabbed the man's hand.
"Brother Gu, can't you stay here for a while?"
"Let's stay here for the night."
"this…"
Gu Chaomu hesitated.
Zhou Xinyue frowned and gave the housekeeper a wink.
The butler immediately received the young lady's message.
He reached out to block Gu Chaomu's path, looking at the sky and reminding her:
"Young hero, look, it's almost dark. There's not a single house or chimney for miles around, and there are wild wolves in the mountains."
Staying outside at night would be very dangerous. Why don't you take your convoy and stay at the Zhou residence tonight?
Our master will certainly throw you a grand banquet, with plenty of good food and drink, to repay you for saving Miss's life.
Gu Chaomu thought it sounded good too. It was indeed getting late, and he was getting tired from traveling all the time.
Staying at the Zhou residence for one night is not out of the question.
To this, he could only agree:
"Okay, then I'll go ask my companion first."
They agreed, so we'll stay for one night. We apologize for troubling you again.
"Don't bother me."
Upon hearing Gu Chaomu's words, Zhou Xinyue quickly waved her hand.
She knew she had succeeded in persuading him to stay.
Her face was filled with ecstatic joy, and she smiled shyly at the man.
...
"Miss, wake up quickly."
Qiao Wanwan, who was fast asleep with her head resting on Chunxia's lap in the carriage, was suddenly awakened by a sound in her ear.
Spring and summer gently shook her.
"Miss, wake up, they're all getting off the bus."
Qiao Wanwan, who had been helped to the right side by Chunxia, stretched slightly.
He yawned sleepily.
ha~
"Where have you been?"
"We've arrived in Luan Town."
"Huh? Aren't we supposed to keep traveling?"
"Chunxia just heard Gu Chaomu agree to stay at the Zhou residence tonight."
We also benefited from this and were able to stay there for the night.
"Oh……"
What do you mean by "benefiting from someone's good fortune"? It's like others care a lot.
Even the maids around him have to praise the male lead to the skies, right?
As expected, the male lead has a special aura.
Everyone likes it.
Qiao Wanwan shook her head helplessly.
"Then let's go."
"Yes, ma'am."
