Supreme Divine Physician in the City-Chapter 1391: Poisonous Insect Poison (3)

Upon learning that the culprit who harmed his son was this pitch-black thing in front of him, Sun Hui’s eyes once again turned red with rage, and his emotions became agitated.

Seeing that he was about to crush the thing on the ground with his foot, Ye Xuan’s voice rang out again: "If you still want your son to live, I advise you not to kill what’s on the ground."

The moment the words left Ye Xuan’s mouth, Sun Hui’s lifted foot froze in midair, without coming down.

He hesitated and asked, "Doctor Ye, why do you say that?"

Perhaps Sun Hui himself hadn’t even realized it, but unconsciously, his attitude toward Ye Xuan had changed.

Ye Xuan snorted lightly and glanced at Sun Hui with a half-smile, sarcastically saying, "Now you believe what I say?"

Sun Hui fell silent, but he still nodded.

Though in his impression, such things as Gu insects were purely the stuff of myth and legends, utterly fictitious.

Yet the reality before him forced him to believe that Gu insects indeed existed.

Thinking that he might have wrongly blamed Ye Xuan and Liu Ying, Sun Hui’s face flushed as he looked at the two of them. Suddenly, he bent down and sincerely said, "Manager Liu, Doctor Ye Xuan, I was wrong. I don’t blame you for doubting your intentions. I apologize and hope you can forgive my rashness and ignorance. Even if you can’t forgive me, please forgive my son, Sun Tao. He knows nothing; he’s innocent!"

Seeing Sun Hui speak like this, Liu Ying sighed and said, "Don’t worry, Uncle Sun, since we’ve taken on this matter, we’ll see it through to the end."

Hearing Liu Ying speak this way, Sun Hui recalled the harsh words he had previously directed at her and felt deeply ashamed.

Slap! Slap!

He suddenly gave himself two harsh slaps, regretting, "Manager Liu, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted you. I’m not a person, I deserve to die."

Seeing the situation, Liu Ying quickly stopped Sun Hui and said, "Uncle Sun, what are you doing! Ye Xuan and I don’t blame you."

Upon hearing this, Sun Hui hesitantly asked, "Manager Liu, do you really not blame me?"

Liu Ying shook her head and said, "We don’t blame you."

Upon hearing this, Sun Hui felt moved, his eyes reddening once more.

Seeing the old man, Sun Hui, about to cry again, Liu Ying felt a bit helpless.

The saying goes, old men are like children, old children indeed. She had to admit there was some truth to it; Sun Hui’s emotional shifts were truly rapid.

"Ye Xuan, you just stopped Uncle Sun from crushing this insect; could it actually save Sun Tao?" Liu Ying suddenly asked.

In fact, Liu Ying wasn’t particularly interested in the Gu insect, but the atmosphere in the hospital room was too awkward. She wanted to change Sun Hui’s focus with this question.

Sure enough, the moment she asked, Sun Hui’s attention was immediately drawn.

Ye Xuan didn’t bother with much else. Hearing Liu Ying’s question, he didn’t hide anything, and directly said, "This kind of Gu insect is called Yin Yang Rebirth Gu. Once these insects are refined, there are two, one male and one female. Truly mystical. In the world of Gu insects, Yin Yang Rebirth Gu is very rare. From what I understand, it takes about ten years to successfully refine such a pair of Gu insects."

Liu Ying asked doubtfully, "Hearing you talk about it, this kind of Gu insect does sound quite strange, but you still haven’t explained why we can’t kill this Gu insect."

Ye Xuan looked at Liu Ying a bit speechless and said, "Little Ying, aren’t you a bit too impatient? You have to at least let me finish, right?"

Liu Ying chuckled playfully and said, "Fine, go on."

Ye Xuan continued, "If it were merely the existence of a pair of Gu insects, it wouldn’t be so uncommon. As far as I know, once a Yin Yang Rebirth Gu pair is successfully refined, even if the two insects are separated by thousands of miles, they can still connect. If one Gu insect dies, the other one dies simultaneously."

"Moreover, the Yin Yang Rebirth Gu has another characteristic: the male Gu insect is extremely poisonous. Once poisoned by the male Gu insect, there is virtually no cure, and within three days at most, the poisoned person will die from the toxin. Sun Tao is now suffering from the poison of the male Yin Yang Rebirth Gu insect, which is why its toxicity is so fierce."

Hearing this, Sun Hui’s heart tightened once again.

Especially after hearing Ye Xuan say that Sun Tao could very well succumb to the poison within three days, he was too tense to even speak.

He could only look at Liu Ying with pleading eyes.

Liu Ying understood Sun Hui’s meaning, so she asked, "Ye Xuan, you should be able to solve this Gu insect’s poison, right?"

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "You’re overestimating me. I’m merely a doctor, not a god. It’s not just me; even my master would find dealing with such poison quite challenging."

Saying this, Ye Xuan sighed and said, "If I had intervened right after Sun Tao was first poisoned, perhaps I would have had a seventy to eighty percent chance of detoxifying him. But now, I’m afraid I don’t even have a ten percent chance."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying fell silent.

She knew Ye Xuan’s master was a Divine Doctor with extraordinary medical skills. If even Ye Xuan’s teacher found it difficult to cure, it illustrated how potent this poison was.

Thud!

Just as Ye Xuan finished speaking, Sun Hui felt his legs go weak, and he sat down directly on the floor.

He gazed at his son, his eyes filled with despair.

Seeing Sun Hui like this, Liu Ying felt uncomfortable as well.

Suddenly, she noticed that Ye Xuan didn’t seem anxious.

A thought struck her, and she exclaimed, "That’s not right, Ye Xuan, you must know a way to detoxify Sun Tao, don’t you?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Hui’s face showed an expression of anticipation.

At this moment, he was like a drowning man, and Ye Xuan was the straw that could save him.

Ye Xuan nodded and said, "I can’t directly detoxify Sun Tao, but from what I know, there’s another method to neutralize the male Gu insect’s poison in Sun Tao."

"What method?"

Liu Ying and Sun Hui both called out almost simultaneously.

Ye Xuan calmly explained, "Yin Yang Rebirth Gu, the male Gu insect is extremely poisonous, virtually incurable. But the female Gu insect’s characteristics are the exact opposite of the male’s. The female and male Gu insects counteract each other, allowing the female Gu insect to detoxify the male Gu’s poison!

"That’s why I stopped Uncle Sun from crushing the male Gu insect. Because if the male Gu insect dies, the female will also die. At that point, Sun Tao’s Gu poison would truly be incurable."
