Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3059: Bitter Medicine, No Escape from Drinking It!
Previously on Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability...
How could things turn out like this? He'd only just stepped through the door, got hit with a fierce glare, and now this fellow even voiced his complaints.
A sly gleam flickered in his eyes as he uttered words laced with ill intent.
"Regarding the poison from this fish, I'm not entirely sure it can be fully countered, but I've got a remedy here that handles every kind of toxin. That said, it's no pill—it's a boiled herbal decoction, which must be taken three times a day for forty-nine days straight to purge the poison."
He was set on handing this overbearing little girl the most bitter formula possible, forcing her to choke it down for all forty-nine days!
At his words, Little Junior Sister's eyes went wide in shock.
Forty-nine days of that stuff, and not even in pill form? How could she force it down her throat? Wasn't this basically a death sentence for her?
"Ah, ah ah."
Her anger boiled over, and she yanked repeatedly at Second Senior Brother's sleeve.
"Enough with the tugging already."
Second Senior Brother's patience was wearing thin as well.
He might have been the one who poisoned her, but seeing Little Junior Sister like this left him irritated. Wasn't it her own doing, getting into this mess after being so rude to an alchemist who was helping her out?
It clicked for him now—Little Junior Sister must have shown the same discourtesy to Junior Sister Jun, no doubt.
"Do you want to get rid of the poison, or would you rather stay this way?"
These words made Little Junior Sister go quiet.
Of course she wanted the poison gone, but not by gulping down something so awful. Why couldn't it be turned into pills?
The alchemist eyed the pair, then glanced at Fifth Senior Brother nearby, before pressing on.
"Want the remedy? I'll write it down. Otherwise, I'm heading out."
"Ah ah."
Anxiety surged through Little Junior Sister at that.
If he walked away, how would she ever clear the poison from her system? Could she even talk again later? Out here gaining experience, she couldn't head back to the Sect for at least half a year—did that mean staying speechless the whole time?
It might happen that way, but she absolutely refused to end up mute.
"Pharmacist, please provide the remedy. We'll gather the herbs immediately."
"Fine."
The alchemist nodded, pleased.
He swiftly jotted down the formula, passed it to Fifth Senior Brother, and added more instructions.
"Use these exact herbs from the remedy to detoxify, and I promise after forty-nine days, she'll speak again. But turning them into pills? That'll weaken the effect.
Refine them that way, and heaven knows how long you'd need to take them or what side issues might crop up. Your choice."
Bottom line, this brat was drinking the bitter brew, no question!
Little Junior Sister stomped in fury once more. She'd planned to let the wretched alchemist go, then beg Senior Sister Jun to make pills from it. But he'd just blocked that path!
Wasn't he slamming the door on her escape, making her swallow the nasty stuff?
Once Fifth Senior Brother saw the alchemist out, Little Junior Sister had wrecked every breakable item in the room. The senior brothers and sisters nearby wore grim faces.
"Little Junior Sister, you smashed this stuff yourself, so when the inn worker shows up, you're paying for it. Don't look at us." Ninth Senior Brother ignored her outbursts as always, acting oblivious to her poisoning drama.
Watching her trash the place now, he had no intention of coddling her. Did she expect them to foot the bill?
"Fifth Senior Brother's footing the cost to fix your poison, but we're not that stupid."
