Chapter 691: Jin Banhua Teases Liu Wumei
Chapter 691: Jin Banhua Teases Liu Wumei
Although Jin Banhua's words were playful, the women's gazes were fixed on Chu Liuxiang.
Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but touch his nose repeatedly.
Facing Jin Banhua's provocative gaze and the expectant looks of the other women, Chu Liuxiang sighed and said, "After settling the matter with Divine Water Palace, I'll go find your White Jade Beauty. I'll bring Rongrong and the others with me."
Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, and Song Tian'er all smiled sweetly.
Jin Banhua pouted, "You still can't give a direct answer at this point, I think you're just forced into a corner, deliberately avoiding..."
Jin Banhua pulled away Song Tian'er's delicate hand that was covering her mouth, "What are you doing?"
Song Tian'er pouted playfully, "Your mouth is so hateful, can't you just talk less?"
Jin Banhua blinked, "I didn't expect you to be so straightforward."
Everyone burst into laughter. Su Rongrong smiled and said, "When talking with Jin Brother, you can't be too subtle, or you'll definitely get annoyed."
Li Yuhuan and Liu Wumei nodded in understanding, having experienced this in Jinling.
Hu Tiehua stepped forward and put his arm around Jin Banhua's shoulder, comforting her, "But as long as you don't talk and just drink, you're still quite impressive!"
Jin Banhua gave Hu Tiehua a sidelong glance, "Even if I'm drinking happily, I'm not allowed to boast or chat, I didn't expect you to be more vicious than them!"
Hu Tiehua, "... "
Seeing the topic drifting further off course, Chu Liuxiang steered it back, "We came to find Jin Brother actually because of the Divine Water Palace."
Jin Banhua raised an eyebrow, "You want to go to the Divine Water Palace?"
"Exactly," Chu Liuxiang nodded, "A few months ago, Wuhua stole the Heaven's First Essence Water from the Divine Water Palace, but the disciples there mistakenly thought it was me. I've never bothered to explain."
Song Tian'er held Liu Wumei's hand reassuringly, "Once Brother Chu arrives at the Divine Water Palace, he can get the antidote for you, so don't worry."
Li Hongxiu also smiled, "Only you know where the Puti An that leads to the Divine Water Palace is, we need you to guide us there."
Li Yuhuan and Liu Wumei exchanged knowing smiles, tinged with bitterness.
They were well aware that Chu Liuxiang was no ordinary man, but the Jellyfish Yin Ji, the number one eccentric in the world. She never threatened others, nor did she tolerate being threatened.
Although Chu Liuxiang's martial arts were exceptional, they still dared to ask someone to challenge him, but when it came to the Divine Water Palace...
Even if they managed to gather Shuai Yifan, Xiao Shi, Ling Feige, Iron Mountain Daoist, Huang Luzhi, and his friend, along with the dog-killing elder Du Yu's wife, entering the Divine Water Palace would still mean certain death.
No man had ever survived leaving the Divine Water Palace, could Chu Liuxiang be an exception?
"I've always been very curious about how Huang Lao knew the method to enter the Divine Water Palace," Su Rongrong said, puzzled. "From the way he kept looking at his friend yesterday, it seemed like his friend told him."
"But his friend is obviously a man," Li Hongxiu added. "How could a man possibly know the secrets of the Divine Water Palace?"
Hu Tiehua nodded seriously, "That makes sense. Although in the jianghu, some call the Desert Stone Guanyin and the Jellyfish Yin Ji as a pair, saying that no man who has seen them survives, their differences are actually quite significant.
The Stone Guanyin actually likes men, but her appetite for men is just too big. As for the Yin Ji, she truly hates men. Any man who has entered the Divine Water Palace has never come out alive."
"But what Huang Lao said isn't false, I really did see the Jellyfish Yin Ji," Liu Wumei said.
"We certainly don't doubt Huang Lao, I'm just suspicious of the other person," Su Rongrong said. "I could tell he wore an extremely intricate mask, but I couldn't figure out who he was."
Chu Liuxiang spoke solemnly, "But if Huang Lao doesn't speak, there must be his reasons and his difficulties. We shouldn't pry into his and his friend's privacy.
Chu Liuxiang turned to Jin Banhua, "Jin Brother, you must already know that we now have two paths to enter the Divine Water Palace."
Jin Banhua nodded, "One is known by Miss Su, and the other by Elder Li."
Chu Liuxiang nodded, "I plan to take Xiao Hu and Rongrong with me. I'd like to request Li Xiong and his wife to take Hongxiu, Tian'er, and Black Brother along the other route. But since we don't know the dangers of Puti An, can I ask Jin Brother to accompany us?"
Jin Banhua nodded with a look of understanding, then shook his head, "I can understand your trip to the Divine Water Palace, but why does Li Xiong and his wife have to go?"
"Of course, to ask Jellyfish Yin Ji for the antidote!" Song Tian'er exclaimed.
"But why didn't you ask me?" Jin Banhua pointed at himself, "In the capital, I've studied under many masters and learned many skills. Whether it's martial arts, weaponry, mechanics, or even medical diagnosis and treatment, I've dabbled in them all."
"It was me who resolved Li Guanyu's fire poisoning and his body was as stiff as a board. Why didn't you ask me if I could solve the poison in Elder Li's body?" Jin Banhua asked curiously.
Everyone in the room was silent.
Indeed, no one present had thought of it.
Although Jin Banhua had killed Shi Guanyin and saved Li Guanyu, the impression he gave was still that of a proud and boastful young master from the capital. When it came to serious matters, no one thought of him.
Even Chu Liuxiang, who had just praised Jin Banhua's exceptional internal skills and medical abilities yesterday, didn't think of it. Instinctively, he still wanted to go to Jellyfish Yin Ji to ask for an antidote for Liu Wumei.
"Come, let me take a look!" Jin Banhua sat in the pavilion, beckoning Liu Wumei to come over.
Liu Wumei sat down opposite Jin Banhua, extending her hand with a bitter smile, "Shi Guanyin is most skilled in using poison. Not only is she proficient in the poisons of the Central Plains, but after entering the Great Desert, she also acquired some Western Region poisoning methods, further advancing her poisoning skills.
In the secret valley of the desert, she cultivated opium and other toxic herbs, producing various types of poisons. There were lethal poisons that could take lives, mind-controlling poisons, and of course, the kind of poison that caused excruciating pain, like the one used on me."
Jin Banhua nodded and began to check Liu Wumei's pulse.
He checked her right hand, then her left, shaking his head and clicking his tongue.
"Your poison is meant to cause you unbearable pain, but the opium poison has already corroded your internal organs." Jin Banhua smacked his lips, "If not for your extraordinary internal strength, you would have been bedridden by now."
Liu Wumei's eyes lit up, and Li Yuhang hurriedly asked, "Can you identify the poison that Mei'er was hit with?"
Liu Wumei hadn't intended to consume opium from the start, but after arriving in the Central Plains, she had consulted many famous doctors, and they couldn't even tell if she was poisoned. How could they help her with an antidote?
"It's a very hidden toxicity." Jin Banhua spoke seriously, "The poison isn't fatal, and it's not even difficult to cure. But by sacrificing these two characteristics, it gains an excellent level of concealment, making it extremely difficult for ordinary people to detect."
"Exactly!" Li Yuhang nodded repeatedly, "Jin Brother is truly talented. That poison is indeed well-hidden. I've sought help from 'Golden Needle Lifesaver' Ye Tianshi and 'One Finger Life and Death' Zhang Jianzhai, and even they couldn't identify the poison Mei'er was hit with."
"But this poison is a piece of cake for me. Once I find it, it'll be easy to solve."
Jin Banhua smiled triumphantly, "One needle application and one dose of medicine is all it takes. Then, control Elder Li and prevent her from consuming opium again. Overcome the addiction-induced pain, and with ample rest, she'll be fine."
"Really?!" Li Yuhang and Liu Wumei were both surprised and delighted.
"Of course!" Jin Banhua raised his head proudly, laughing with satisfaction, "Since Shi Guanyin couldn't defeat me, it's only reasonable that her medical and poisoning skills are inferior to mine, isn't it?"
