Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 7 - 7 7 Complete Detoxification is Necessary

“Auntie Wang, please hold on for a moment.

Although the majority of the poison has been drawn out, a small amount of residue still remains within your body. Movement at this stage could hinder complete detoxification,” Chen Yang advised in a hushed tone, meticulously cleaning the wound with a damp cloth.

“Mm…” A faint blush crept across Auntie Wang’s face as she coquettishly bit her lip and nodded in agreement.

In short order, the residual traces surrounding the two small, bloody punctures, which had been barely visible moments before, were completely eradicated by Chen Yang’s careful attention.

By this point, Auntie Wang’s complexion had also undergone a dramatic improvement. The pallor that had characterized her face earlier was now replaced by a delicate, rosy hue.

However, this newfound flush was only partially attributable to Chen Yang’s skilled treatment of her wound…

“Auntie Wang, the wound has been attended to. For now, you should rest. Once we manage to capture the snake that inflicted the bite, I will be able to formulate the correct antidote,” Chen Yang stated.

“Alright…

Thank you, Yang Zi,” Auntie Wang replied, her voice tinged with emotion and a deepening blush as she expressed her gratitude.

Chen Yang then collected the basin containing the poisoned blood and exited to dispose of it.

Just then, Auntie Zhang, who had been out searching for the offending serpent, returned with haste.

“How did it go? Did you manage to find it?” Chen Yang inquired with palpable urgency upon spotting Auntie Zhang.

“No…

The terrain is simply too vast, and it’s practically impossible to find anything in the deep darkness of the night,” Auntie Zhang reported, shaking her head to convey her unsuccessful search.

Hearing that the snake remained at large, Chen Yang’s expression turned grave. The predicament of being bitten by an unknown snake was compounded by the inability to identify it, making proper treatment a significant challenge. Each distinct type of snake necessitates a specific anti-venom. Without identification, the correct serum cannot be administered.

“Auntie Zhang, do you recall the snake’s appearance? Did it possess any unique markings or features on its body?” Chen Yang pressed for more details.

Even without capturing the creature, if its distinct characteristics were remembered, a reasonable deduction could still be made.

Regrettably, Auntie Zhang continued to shake her head. “I can’t recall. It was utterly dark, and I couldn’t see a thing clearly.”

“Then we are in a difficult situation. If the species of snake remains unknown, I have absolutely no method to prescribe the accurate medicine,” Chen Yang declared, his brow furrowed with concern.

“Ah?

Even you are stumped? What are we to do then? Auntie Wang’s condition is deteriorating; she is in peril at any moment,” Auntie Zhang exclaimed, her voice laced with panic at the realization that even Chen Yang, the sole medical practitioner available, was at a loss.

The thought of idly watching Auntie Wang succumb to the venom was unbearable.

“Yang Zi, can you not devise some alternative method to save Auntie Wang?” Auntie Zhang implored, her face etched with desperate hope as she grasped Chen Yang’s arm, urging him to find a solution. After all, Chen Yang was now the only one who could potentially rescue Wang Hong.

Observing Auntie Zhang’s mounting anxiety, Chen Yang rested his chin upon his hand, his mind racing furiously as he sought a viable method to rid Auntie Wang of the snake’s potent venom.

After a period of intense contemplation, an idea finally dawned upon Chen Yang. It involved attempting the acupuncture technique detailed within the ancient tome, the “Medicinal King’s Canon.”

This particular acupuncture method included a prescription for full-body detoxification; however, its efficacy against snake venom was still an unknown factor.

Nevertheless, given the dire circumstances, Chen Yang felt compelled to pursue this uncertain path, much like treating a dying horse as if it were still alive.

“Auntie Zhang, please assist me in escorting Auntie Wang to my place. I intend to try applying the acupuncture method passed down from my grandfather,” Chen Yang stated impassively to Auntie Zhang.

“Yes!

Of course!”

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s declaration, Auntie Zhang immediately grasped that he had conceived a plan. Without a moment’s delay, she re-entered the house, gently helped Auntie Wang from her bed, and proceeded towards Chen Yang’s clinic.

Once they reached the clinic, Wang Hong was carefully positioned on the examination bed. Chen Yang, meanwhile, began the sterilization process for his silver needles, preparing to initiate the acupuncture treatment.

“Brother Chen Yang, how is Auntie Wang doing? Has she recovered?”

Just then, Zhang Xueying arrived, having concluded her tasks at home.

“Not yet. We are uncertain about the specific snake that bit Auntie Wang, so I am about to employ silver needle detoxification. Whether it will be a complete cure remains uncertain,” Chen Yang explained, meticulously wiping each silver needle with alcohol, exercising caution in his pronouncements regarding Auntie Wang’s prognosis.

“Where was she bitten? Allow me to help examine the site,” Zhang Xueying offered.

“The bite occurred at Datiping, but the snake escaped. Pursuing it now would be a futile endeavor,” Chen Yang replied. He then gathered the sterilized silver needles and led Zhang Xueying directly into the inner chamber of the medical hall.

Surveying the visibly frail Auntie Wang, Zhang Xueying felt a jolt of apprehension. She had not anticipated the severity of Auntie Wang’s condition.

“Yang Zi, is there still hope for your Auntie Wang?

How can a healthy person just get bitten by a snake like that?” Seeing Chen Yang come in, Auntie Zhang was on the verge of tears.

“Auntie Zhang, I can’t say for certain about Auntie Wang’s condition, but I will do my best to treat her,” Chen Yang said with a determined gaze.

“Good… good, then please treat Auntie Wang quickly,” Auntie Zhang nodded repeatedly, then cleared a path for Chen Yang.

Chen Yang walked over to Auntie Wang and checked her forehead temperature by hand, only to find that her body temperature was not yet abnormal at that moment.

“Auntie Zhang, it’s getting late, you should go back to rest.

Being anxious here isn’t helping,” said Chen Yang after taking the temperature, suddenly addressing Auntie Zhang who was standing beside them with an anxious face.

Chen Yang was about to start the acupuncture, and Auntie Zhang’s presence wouldn’t help aside from making her anxious.

Moreover, the acupuncture process was going to be too intimate, and for the sake of Auntie Wang’s reputation, Auntie Zhang couldn’t stay.

“Alright… Chen Yang, you must cure Auntie Wang,” Auntie Zhang nodded, then left, knowing she was of no help anymore.

After watching Auntie Zhang leave, Chen Yang went ahead and locked the main door of the medical hall.

The upcoming acupuncture process required full concentration, and Chen Yang didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone else.

“Xueying, I need your help, please take off Auntie Wang’s clothes,” Chen Yang said to Zhang Xueying after locking the door and walking into the inner room.

“Ah?

Take off Auntie Wang’s clothes?” Zhang Xueying was startled and didn’t react at first.

“Of course, how can I do the acupuncture without taking off her clothes?” Chen Yang said with a smile.

“Oh…

right right right, acupuncture!” Zhang Xueying finally caught on and started to undress Wang Hong.

As Zhang Xueying undressed Auntie Wang, she felt particularly uncomfortable.

She had feelings for Chen Yang… and now she had to strip another woman’s clothes for Chen Yang to examine… The feeling was very strange.

But thinking about Chen Yang saving a life made her feel less uncomfortable.

“It’s done, Brother Chen Yang,” Zhang Xueying said, having taken off Wang Hong’s T-shirt and standing up.

“Take off the underwear and the pants too!”

“The clothes and pants need to come off too?” Zhang Xueying’s eyes widened.

“Yes, they must all come off,” Chen Yang said seriously.

Detoxifying the whole body was a complicated process.

To thoroughly remove all the toxins from the body, it was necessary to cover the body with silver needles.

This was the only way to expel all the internal toxins, according to the Medicine King’s Sutra in Chen Yang’s mind.

Hearing Chen Yang’s words, Zhang Xueying hesitated…

But at that moment, the weak Wang Hong suddenly spoke up.

“Xueying…

hurry and help Auntie undress, my body can hardly take it anymore,” Wang Hong had been resting, but she had heard the entire conversation between Chen Yang and Zhang Xueying.

Furthermore, Wang Hong was well aware of the state of her body and could clearly feel that if the toxins were not promptly expelled, it would be very dangerous.

In the face of death, what was undressing worth?

And to undress before Chen Yang…

she wasn’t so resistant to the idea.

Zhang Xueying, seeing Wang Hong say this, could only agree.

“Okay…

okay!” Zhang Xueying proceeded, and this time she stripped all of Wang Hong’s clothes off directly.

Wang Hong’s body…

was thus exposed before Chen Yang with not a thread upon her.
