532: Chapter 532: Snake Venom (4)_1 532: Chapter 532: Snake Venom (4)_1 Xiaolun flicked her forked tongue, thinking that the old man was sensible enough not to push his luck.
Fortunately, when she first encountered this girl, her abilities were mediocre, and her speed hadnât peaked.
Otherwise, the girl would have been bitten to death long ago, and she wouldnât have acknowledged her as master.
âOld man, you shouldnât be practicing medicine, you should be telling stories.
That tale was rivetingâŠâ Yang Ruxin laughed.
If it were modern society, he might become an internet novelist and attract countless fans with a title like âAncient Serpent Eggâs Time-Travel Adventure.â
âYou donât believe me?
You actually donât believe me?â Dao Xuzi completely lost his temper.
âI believe,â Yang Ruxin hurriedly gestured with his hand to calm him down, âdonât be hasty, the snake venom is fine, but I wonât give you Xiaolun.
Donât end up cooking herâŠâ
âIâŠâ Dao Xuziâs beard, which had just smoothed out, bristled again.
Yang Ruxin ignored him and picked Xiaolun up from his wrist, âDonât be stingy, give him a couple drops of venom, will you?â
Xiaolun flicked her forked tongue again.
Yang Ruxin nodded at Dao Xuzi.
The old man swiftly took a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and came over, all smiles.
Xiaolun ignored the old manâs fawning expression, bit the bottleâs opening, and soon, a glistening green liquid was seen flowing into the bottle.
âHahaâŠâ Dao Xuzi couldnât contain his laughter, and as soon as Xiaolun released the bottle, he burst out laughing, âThis is wonderful.â He then carefully sealed the bottle and stashed it in his chest before turning to run offâhe had to quickly process the venom into medicine, lest it lose its potency over time.
But after a couple of steps, he stopped, turned back to Yang Ruxin, and said, âThe steamed bun with soup fillingâŠâ
âI wonât forget.â Yang Ruxinâs mouth twitched slightly as he too stepped out of the room.
He informed everyone about Eryaâs situation and that Dao Xuzi had pulled her back from the Ghost Gate.
Now, it was time for her recuperation.
âSo when can sister Erya wake up?â Sini looked worriedly at Yang Ruxin.
âTonight,â Yang Ruxin patted Siniâs head, âbut her name is Yang Rulan from now on, donât call her Erya anymore.
Sheâs going to live with us from now on.
You and Xiaobao are her older sisters.
Will you take good care of her?â
Sini and Zhou Ying nodded vigorously, then holding hands, they went inside to see Erya.
âXinxin, sheâŠâ Xu Hui was a bit confused.
âWhen I got there, her mother was trying to strangle her.â Yang Ruxin glanced at Xu Hui, âSo I bought her, for two pieces of silver.â Saying this, he took out the Selling Covenant and shook it open, âThis is the covenant.
Tianze helped with the writing.
The village chief witnessed itâŠâ
Everyone was somewhat unsure how to react to the Selling Covenant, especially Xu Hui, who had also been sold by her family, so she felt a certain fear.
âAlthough I bought Lanlan, I want to make one thing clear: I did this to ensure that Yang Baifu and Dong Hongmei have no chance to cause trouble in the future.â Yang Ruxin put the covenant away in his chest, âFrom now on, she is the youngest in our family, my little sister Xiaowu.
When she turns fourteen, Iâll give her the covenant back, and then itâll be up to her whether she wants to stay or leaveâŠâ
âOkayâŠâ Xu Huiâs eyes reddened again.
âI donât think Lanlan could be so ungrateful.
After we save her and raise her, if she still chooses to go back to her parents, that would be tooâŠâ Sanni pursed her lips.
Yang Ruxin just smiled and did not comment.
The human heart is the most difficult to predict and the most fickle; oneâs mindset naturally changes with different circumstances and environments.
So, they would have to see how things unfolded.
The saying âtime reveals a personâs heartâ exactly reflected this principle.
