Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 721 - 724: Poisoning

"Oh, you're talking about that."

"The poison afflicting Miss Fu Ya isn't something ordinary doctors can detect. Only a physician from the Ancient Martial Sects would understand what's happening," Liu Lu said truthfully. "Since you could tell that Miss Fu Ya was poisoned, it proves you're also part of the Ancient Martial Sects. That's why I spoke so directly!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ergou had a moment of realization. So that was how it was. But then, another question surfaced in his mind.

"Hey, that doesn't add up!" Liu Ergou asked, furrowing his brow. "Didn't you say you're from the Divine Healer Pavilion? Then why haven't you cured Sister Fu Ya?"

"Do you have any idea how serious her condition is? She's constantly vomiting blood! If this drags on for another two days, she'll be beyond saving!"

At Liu Ergou's words, however, an embarrassed expression appeared on Liu Lu's face. "It's... it's not that I don't want to save her!" Liu Lu said. "The main problem is that I can't neutralize the poison in her body. If the poison isn't neutralized, she can't be treated."

The moment she finished speaking, Liu Ergou rolled his eyes.

So much for the impressive Divine Healer Pavilion. She can't even handle a simple poison? This is pathetically easy for me to cure. Seriously, I'm speechless.

When Liu Lu saw Liu Ergou roll his eyes, she instantly flew into a rage. "Young man, what do you mean by that! Are you looking down on me? Rolling your eyes like that! You're a layman, you don't understand anything. I can't be bothered to explain it to you!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou grew angry as well and was about to retort.

A layman? What a joke. Even if I'm a novice, I'm not so useless I can't neutralize a simple poison. How amusing for her to call me a layman.

However, before Liu Ergou had the chance to speak, a woman's voice drifted over from a distance.

"Junior Sister, you're as kind-hearted as ever. If I encountered someone like this, I'd poison him mute on the spot! Disgusting!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou looked up. He saw a curvaceous woman with a cold expression, dressed in a black trench coat, walking toward him.

Just then, the woman suddenly waved her hand. A fragrant scent drifted into Liu Ergou's nostrils. The moment he smelled it, Liu Ergou's expression turned grim. He immediately circulated his True Qi and held his breath, simultaneously pushing Lu Shuangyue and Orange Bear far behind him.

Only then did he speak coldly to the woman in the black trench coat, "Who are you? How dare you poison me the moment we meet!"

The woman in the black trench coat sneered. "So what if I poison you? You don't understand anything anyway. Talking to you is a waste of time. It would be better to poison you mute; at least then it would be quiet."

After speaking, the woman in the black trench coat didn't even glance at Liu Ergou, heading straight for the bedroom.

Seeing this, Liu Lu, who stood opposite Liu Ergou, hurriedly chased after her. "Senior Sister, wait!" she shouted as she ran. "You can't just go in like that! Miss Fu Ya's injuries are very severe! If you go in just like that, you'll kill her! Stop and change your clothes!"

However, the woman in the black trench coat didn't even pause at these words and walked straight into the bedroom. Liu Lu stomped her foot in anxiety. With no time to deal with Liu Ergou, she hastily followed her into the bedroom.

Liu Ergou was left standing alone with a dark expression, glaring unpleasantly in the direction of the bedroom.

At that moment, Lu Shuangyue came over and asked him in a low voice, "Er Gou, what do we do now? Do we follow them inside or leave?"

Without a moment's hesitation, Liu Ergou replied, "Of course we're going in! Those two are quacks! If we leave Sister Fu Ya in their hands, I'm afraid she'll really die!"

With that, Liu Ergou strode forward alone. Lu Shuangyue and Orange Bear immediately moved to follow him.

However, Liu Ergou turned his head and told them, "Shuang Yue, Orange Bear, you two stay back. I'll go in alone. Although I don't think much of those two women, they're not people ordinary folks like you can handle. So, just wait for me here."

Lu Shuangyue and Orange Bear didn't argue. They simply sat down on the sofa to wait.

Meanwhile, Liu Ergou strode into the room.

As soon as he entered, Liu Ergou saw the woman in the black trench coat sitting by Fu Ya's bedside, taking her pulse. A few minutes later, the woman released Fu Ya's wrist. Then she shrugged, her expression one of helplessness.

Seeing this, Liu Lu quickly asked, "Senior Sister, what's that expression for? I didn't call you here to make faces! Hurry up and do something! Give Miss Fu Ya the antidote! I can only treat her after you neutralize the poison! Her injuries are too severe! If we don't save her now, she's really going to die! Senior Sister!"

Hearing Liu Lu's words, the woman in the black trench coat sighed. "My dear Junior Sister," she said with great regret, "it's not that I won't help you, but I'm truly helpless here! I really can't neutralize this poison."

A shocked expression flashed across Liu Lu's face, but it vanished in an instant. She lunged forward and grabbed the woman in the black trench coat by the collar.

She roared, "Liu Miaomiao, this isn't the time for our personal squabbles! Have you forgotten Master's final words about the benevolent heart of a physician? Even though you left the Divine Healer Pavilion, you are still a doctor! How can you stand by and watch someone die? You're telling me you can't neutralize this poison? Do you take me for a fool? I'd believe anyone else who said that, but not you! When it comes to poisons, not even the elders in the Divine Healer Pavilion can compare to your skill! And now you're telling me you can't neutralize this poison? Who are you kidding!"

Seeing how furious Liu Lu was, Liu Miaomiao sighed. "Junior Sister, I really have no reason to lie to you. The poison she's been afflicted with is from a lost art. Where do you expect me to find an antidote? And let's say I could fight poison with poison. Given her current physical condition, do you really think she could withstand it? I'm afraid she'd be dead before I could even administer my own poison! So, is there a problem with me saying this poison is incurable? Honestly, to think you don't even believe me!"

With that, Liu Miaomiao forcefully broke free from Liu Lu's grip and prepared to leave.
