Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1573 - 703: Potential Crisis
Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
Ding Hui was behaving so obediently that it made Fang Yu feel a bit unsettled inside.
If not for knowing that Ding Hui was after that small piece of flesh he promised her earlier, Fang Yu would have suspected Ding Hui had changed her ways.
"Husband, all the antidotes are here. For now, this is how much we have. Will you take them to Captain Song?"
"Okay."
Fang Yu looked at the pile of potions; there were at least thirty to fifty bottles. Although it might not be enough, it should suffice to address the urgent need.
And this was just version 1.0 of the antidote. Ding Hui might upgrade the version later, so they needed to see how effective it was first.
"I’ll take the antidotes to Captain Song for now."
This was mentioned when they became a Guest Elder of the Nanyuan Family.
After Ding Hui developed the antidote, they would keep a portion for themselves, while the rest and the entire antidote formula would belong to the Nanyuan Family.
Furthermore, without releasing the newly developed antidote to the public, how could the world know that the Nanyuan Family had developed it?
As long as they controlled the quantity of the antidote released, it would only benefit the Nanyuan Family’s reputation, with any profit loss being negligible.
"Be careful on the road, husband~"
Ding Hui obediently watched Fang Yu leave, then turned around, her expression already back to its icy demeanor, looking at the two little old men quietly working in the house.
"Tell your Family Head, as per the standard we discussed before, to bring some patients over."
"Yes, yes!"
The antidote produced, theoretically, should completely cure Water Poison according to Ding Hui’s understanding. However, its actual effect and any deviations needed some fine adjustments.
Ding Hui wasn’t pursuing perfection; she needed a deeper understanding of Water Poison.
One aspect was observing what specific changes the Detoxification Potion would create when interacting with Water Poison.
More so, it was about preparing for Song Xi’s body reconstruction and some of her ideas, building technical reserves.
The little old men’s natural response to Ding Hui’s request was to nod repeatedly, with one immediately dashing off to manage the task.
They had medical skills, understanding Ding Hui’s requests and fully carrying them out.
If Fang Yu were to handle this, he would likely need to spend a long time explaining the type of patients needed, not necessarily finding the right ones.
"Why are you watching me? Continue with your work."
Ding Hui said coldly.
The remaining little old man, hearing this, hurriedly continued his task, vigorously fanning the flames for the medicine refining furnace.
As for Ding Hui, she reopened the elegant box on the table, gazing at Song Xi’s pulsating lump of flesh, her heart itching, eager to start the operation.
But it wasn’t time yet. First, the antidote wasn’t fully completed; the analysis of the Water Poison wasn’t entirely thorough, and they couldn’t recklessly apply it to Song Xi.
Second, Fang Yu’s flesh hadn’t arrived yet.
"Just bear with it a little longer... bear with it a little longer..."
Ding Hui suppressed her excitement, hinting silently to herself in her mind.
...
In front of the Nanyuan Family’s mansion, about three streets away, a figure rapidly rode past on horseback.
This scene was immediately captured by those stationed in the tea house’s upper floors for observation.
"Is it him?"
"It’s him."
"Report back to the Family Head immediately."
"Yes!"
Shortly after, the Yi Family, Lu Family, and Shu Family’s high-ranking members all received the news.
Yi Family.
"That person surnamed Diao just left the Nanyuan Family." The Yi Family Head said coldly.
Beneath him were several other elders of the Yi Family.
They were already aware of the failed assassination attempt from yesterday.
The chaos had been quelled, and those sent for the assassination had vanished, the task’s execution clearly self-evident.
Plus, after some minor probing and due to intentional or accidental leaks from the Nanyuan Family, they naturally learned part of the situation.
What they didn’t expect was that the one preventing the assassination was that old guy surnamed Diao.
This old guy’s strength was far beyond their expectations.
"Gave Wen Jingwei and the top assassins of three families the chance to execute a plan together, yet they were all stopped and killed by that guy alone?"
"Although some manipulation was involved, it undoubtedly was information released by the Nanyuan Family. Moreover, through our urgent investigation, it is indeed the case. The three of them all died by Diao Deyi’s hand!"
"..."
Silence.
Still silence.
It was thought to be foolproof, dealing with a weak woman; just a moment’s gap in battle would suffice to kill her.
Yet even such powerful three assassins working together couldn’t find even this tiny gap or handle it.
"Could that Diao already be at the level of our ancestor..."
"Impossible! The strength of the ancestor isn’t something an outsider can compare to. That guy, I think, at most, is at Nanyuan Rong’s level!"
At most at that level...
Although said nicely, in reality, the Yi Family, aside from the ancestor, had no one who could rival Nanyuan Rong in skill.
That’s not merely breaking through the Wood Realm or surpassing human limits; it’s a deeply rooted old monster, possibly on the verge of breaking through in the Heart Soul Realm!
Unfathomable.
To the Yi Family, Nanyuan Rong was just such an unfathomable existence.
And the strongest person currently within the Yi Family could only stall Nanyuan Rong, unable to defeat them head-on.
Fortunately, Nanyuan Rong also hadn’t fully recovered, not unbeatable, allowing for a subtle balance among the Four Great Families.
