I, the Villain, Realized That the Mother of the Chosen One of Destiny Is My Maid - Chapter 2:
Chapter 2: Helping Su Qingxue Treat the Cold Poison.
Su Qingxue was also a cultivator, but her talent was too poor. Even after years of practice, she had only reached the 3rd stage Body Tempering Realm, so she had long since given up on serious cultivation.
But when had she been afflicted with cold poison?
Seeing the abnormal indicator in Su Qingxue’s status panel, Lu Wuchen’s brows immediately furrowed.
Only ten months of lifespan remained. Why had she never mentioned this to him?
“Young Master, you don’t need to do this. I can handle this kind of rough work myself. You just rest on the side.”
When she saw Lu Wuchen about to help, Su Qingxue quickly stepped forward to stop him. If even such small tasks required the Young Master to do them personally, then what was she here for? She received 50 spirit stones per month. She was not being paid just to stand around as decoration.
“Aunt Xue, every time I get close to you, I feel that your body temperature is very low. Tell me honestly, is something wrong with your body?”
Lu Wuchen gently set down the items in her hands and asked with a face full of concern.
The moment she heard those words, Su Qingxue’s body stiffened.
“No, Young Master. I’m very healthy. I’m fine.”
After a brief moment of panic, she hurriedly explained.
“Really? I’m at the 3rd stage Condensed Soul Realm. My perception of the body is several times sharper than yours. Aunt Xue, you should know that I hate being lied to the most.”
Seeing that she was still hiding the truth, Lu Wuchen’s expression instantly turned cold.
Hearing his words, Su Qingxue grew flustered. The secret she had kept hidden was finally exposed.
With a thud, she knelt directly on the ground. With tears welling in her eyes, she explained in a trembling voice, “Young Master, Qingxue never intended to deceive you.”
“When I was gathering herbs before, I was accidentally bitten by a small blue-and-white snake. Cold poison entered my body. Because it was not treated in time, it has now spread into my extraordinary meridians.”
“I came to the Holy Land to try my luck, hoping that some immortal master might be able to cure this poison.”
“Young Master, this cold poison won’t affect others. Please don’t drive Qingxue away.”
She hurriedly told him everything. She was truly afraid that once he learned about the cold poison in her body, he would consider her unlucky and expel her.
“Aunt Xue, what are you doing? Quickly, get up.”
Lu Wuchen immediately helped her to her feet.
Looking at the tear-streaked face of the beautiful woman before him, he reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks.
He understood now. She had been afraid that once he learned of the cold poison, he would send her away. That was why she had concealed it.
“Young Master, you won’t blame Qingxue, will you?”
The beautiful woman lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze. Feeling his large hand against her face, her cheeks flushed red. She could have wiped her tears herself. His gesture made her feel both embarrassed and ashamed.
“Haha, Aunt Xue, you’re overthinking it. How could I blame you over something like this?”
Lu Wuchen guided her to sit on a stool and patted her shoulder, signaling her not to worry.
“Aunt Xue, is the cold poison in your body serious? Should I call someone to examine you?”
He looked at her with sincerity.
“Thank you for your kindness, Young Master.”
Su Qingxue first expressed her gratitude, then continued, “I consulted an alchemist before. He said that only something of extreme Yang and extreme rigidity can slowly remove the cold poison from my body.”
“Otherwise, it would require a spirit pill of at least the 6th grade.”
After speaking, she lowered her head silently.
She knew that the cold poison had been in her body for several years. Removing it completely would not be simple.
Back then, when Yang’er fell ill, she went alone into the deep mountains to gather spirit herbs. On her way back, she was accidentally bitten by that small snake.
Now, every so often, she would feel bone-piercing cold spreading through her body.
According to the physician, if she did not receive treatment soon, she likely would not live much longer.
She did not know what could be considered something of extreme Yang and extreme rigidity, but she clearly understood the value of a 6th grade spirit pill.
That was a priceless treasure. Even one pill could buy hundreds of lives like hers.
Here, she earned 50 spirit stones per month. Meanwhile, her son Yang’er, an outer disciple, earned only 30 spirit stones per month.
She wanted to use her remaining time to leave behind as much wealth as possible for him.
Yang’er’s talent was average. The path of cultivation required enormous manpower, material resources, and financial support. As his mother, she could only do her best.
Fortunately, the Young Master treated her well.
Moreover, ever since staying by his side, the cold poison in her body had not flared up again. This allowed her to enjoy a long period of peaceful days.
In her heart, she attributed all of this to the man beside her.
“A 6th grade pill, or something of extreme Yang and extreme rigidity?”
Lu Wuchen murmured.
He might not be able to produce a 6th grade pill, but as for something extremely Yang and rigid, he wondered whether his Creation Dragon Yang Sacred Body counted.
The system had said his constitution was the most Yang existence in the world. It should be enough to handle this mere cold poison.
“Aunt Xue, I may have a way to treat the cold poison in your body.”
Suddenly, Lu Wuchen grasped her jade-like hand and gazed deeply into her eyes.
“Young Master, why are you holding my hand?”
Su Qingxue let out a shy exclamation. But when she saw the seriousness in his eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
In those eyes, she saw sincerity.
“Young Master, you truly have a way?”
She stopped struggling and asked softly.
“Yes, but the treatment method is extremely complicated and… somewhat intimate.”
Lu Wuchen paused, observing her expression before continuing, “If Aunt Xue finds it inappropriate, I will find another method. I will definitely help you obtain a 6th grade pill.”
After speaking, he looked at her quietly, waiting for her response.
Hearing this, Su Qingxue’s silent heart trembled violently.
The Young Master had a way to cure the cold poison?
She could live?
Who would want to die if they could live?
But what did he mean by intimate?
Confused, she raised her head and met his bright eyes. In a soft voice, she asked, “Young Master, what exactly does the treatment involve?”
Seeing that she was wavering, Lu Wuchen continued, “Aunt Xue, to be honest, my constitution is special. I possess a Supreme Yang Sacred Body. I can draw the cold poison from your body into mine. In that way, you will no longer suffer from it.”
“What? Draw the cold poison into your body? Young Master, you absolutely must not do that.”
Thinking it was a method of transferring harm, Su Qingxue immediately refused.
“Haha, you can rest assured, Aunt Xue. I am already at the 3rd stage Condensed Soul Realm. I do not regard this small amount of cold poison as anything.”
“It’s just that during the treatment, both sides must be completely sincere and face each other without concealment before the process can proceed. I’m worried that this may trouble you.”
Lu Wuchen hesitated before explaining the method.
“This… this…”
Su Qingxue was stunned.
She more or less understood what he meant by facing each other sincerely.
If nothing unexpected happened, that was the kind of thing done to conceive a child.
