Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Immune to All Poisons

On this day, there was no auction, so the black market was just frequented by ordinary people looking for rare items, and the crowds weren't particularly dense.

However, the two of them didn't enter the black market through the underground passage but went into the Rishengchang Draft Bank that stood above it.

Passing through the bustling clerks, the pair headed straight to the third floor, stopping in front of the room in the middle.

“Master.”

“Come in.”

An elegant and pleasant voice called out, and after exchanging a glance, the two pushed the door and entered.

Inside was a very spacious room, with a large balcony directly opposite the door.

The rocking chair on the balcony swayed gently, with a person sitting on it.

He was dressed in snow-bright, wide brocade clothing, with hair hanging down to mid-shoulder like clouds, indescribably clear-cut and exquisitely natural.

“Was everything all right last night?”

The man asked, his voice a bit anxious as he spun around.

Sure enough, it was the face that could dazzle all, crystal clear and cool as the secluded moon—none other than Zhao Xiyan.

The tall man and the fatty dared not look at him again and immediately lowered their heads.

“In response to the master, everything was basically fine.”

Zhao Xiyan's good-looking brows furrowed slightly, and his voice grew a bit colder.

“What happened?”

The fatty, not daring to speak recklessly, poked the tall one with a short, plump finger.

“You tell him.”

The tall man immediately recounted everything that had happened the previous night in detail.

Hearing that Qi Yue was unharmed and only Qingnan had escaped, Zhao Xiyan's handsome brows and eyes softened and his face gradually took on a proud hue.

“I knew it, she is the most formidable.”

Once he spoke these words, the tension that shrouded the room instantly deflated like a burst balloon, disappearing without a trace, and was replaced by a sense of ease and pleasure.

The fatty boldly stepped forward and laughed, “Master, had you seen it, how heroic and gallant Miss Qi was when she threw her knife!”

Zhao Xiyan smiled faintly, his hands clasped together like jade, as if caressing something.

“Compared with the past, she has changed so much.”

Seeing his joy, both the tall man and the fatty simultaneously asked, “What was Miss Qi like in the past?”

“In the past…”

Perhaps reminded of something, Zhao Xiyan's smiling face gradually stiffened.

He fell silent, gazing at a white peony hairpin in his hand.

The atmosphere in the room instantly turned peculiar, heavy, with an indescribable touch of sadness.

It was now the afternoon; sunlight piercing through the massive trees outside landed on the balcony, but it seemed to dislike the mood here, hopping around before quickly slipping away.

The tall man and the fatty shrank their necks, trying their best to minimize their presence.

Both wished they were sunlight, too, to vanish from this place in a flash.

After what felt like an eternity, Zhao Xiyan's crisp voice sounded, “You can go back. Take good care of her.”

“Yes, master.”

Neither the tall man nor the fatty dared say any superfluous words and immediately exited the room, leaving as quickly as the wind.

Only after they had exited the grand doors of the Rishengchang Draft Bank did the fatty dare to breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

“Damn, that scared me to death. The master's mood is so unpredictable; pleasing him is a real challenge.”

The tall man looked down on him with contempt, sneering, “As if you could ever please the master.”

The fatty was upset, “Weren't you curious about what the female master was like in the past too? It wasn't just me speaking.”

The tall man waved his hand dismissively, irritated.

“Next time in front of the master, don't speak out of turn.”

“Got it.” The fatty replied, his eyebrows and eyes drooping.

“I really don't know what the lady is thinking, can't see through her at all. We've been gone so long, and she has never mentioned the master, acting as if he doesn't exist.”

The tall one lowered his head too.

“Exactly, can't blame the master for acting this way. The lady seems to truly dislike the master.”

“But what can we do?” The fat one became anxious, “If that's the case, the master is doomed.”

“Doomed what, speak properly,” the tall one scolded, “With the master being who he is, the lady will come to like him sooner or later. Right now, what we need to do is to follow the master's orders and protect the lady well.”

“Oh.” The fat one closed his mouth unhappily, but inside he was full of doubts.

The master doesn't come to see the lady, only engaging in sneaky activities outside, when will the lady come to like him?

Seeing the tall one's warning look, the fat one dared not speak any more.

Forget it, let's just do as the master ordered. Who knows, maybe he plans a surprise attack?

The two stopped talking and quickly returned to the residence.

On the third floor of the Rishengchang Draft Bank, Zhao Xiyan maintained his original posture.

His brows and eyes drooped, the corners of his lips at one moment held a smile, another moment they looked like a violent storm sweeping across, icing thousands of miles.

His two fingers ceaselessly caressed the Bai Shao hairpin, his actions on his hands changing with his face from sunny to cloudy.

At hurried moments, he appeared to want to snap it, to crush it, and then grind it into powder.

When he calmed down, he neurotically pressed the hairpin to his cheek, gently caring for it with the corner of his beautiful lips.

“…After you left, you were gentle to everyone… But… I still prefer the you from before…”

It wasn't until evening that Qi Yue came out of her space.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw four people of varying heights and physiques busily working in her courtyard.

The fat one was hoisting the short one on his neck, letting him tie something onto a tree trunk.

From the back, it looked like a long winter melon carrying a round one, and the funny thing was, the round melon kept shouting, “Why are you so short? Can't you stand on your tiptoes?”

It was hilarious.

Qi Yue couldn't hold back on the spot.

“…Hahaha…what are you, what are you doing?!”

The two fat ones, no, the two big melons turned around together and with a plop, rolled into two heaps.

“Hahaha…”

Qi Yue was already in high spirits from her great harvest in the space, and this act from the two completely broke her constraint.

Laughing so hard she bent back and forth, she eventually sat down laughing on the bench under the corridor's eaves.

“You, what on earth are you two doing? Are you here to make me laugh?”

The four of varying heights and physiques were naturally open and straightforward, seeing Qi Yue laugh so freely, they all started laughing as well.

“Master, we wanted to hang up that net again, in case that poisoned rat comes back so we can trap it.”

The skinny one was always quiet, but now he eagerly stepped forward.

“Master, if that Qingnan guy comes again, leave it all to us four brothers. The master can sleep soundly in her room.”

After enough laughter, Qi Yue said, “Qingnan is cunning, he already knows about our net; how can we use it again? Besides, if he releases poison as soon as he enters, the net won't stop it.”

All four were warriors and knew well that the same trick won't work twice. They were just deliberately concocting this plan to get closer to Qi Yue.

“Master, rest assured, our bodies have mostly recovered. If that Qingnan comes again, he definitely won't get away.”

“Right, master can be at ease!”

“Exactly, when he releases the poison, we brothers can hold our breath…”

Their eagerness to express their loyalty once again sent Qi Yue into fits of laughter.

“Alright, if that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you. But I'm also prepared.”

As Qi Yue spoke, she took out a bottle from her bosom, poured out four pills, and handed them to the four.

“Take one pill each. From now on, you'll be immune to all poisons.”

Hearing this, the four eagerly took them and swallowed them quickly.
