Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard Chapter 097.3: Those Who Hurt Silver Will Not Be Pardoned From Death! (3)

“Mistress.” Xia Yuan handed the tablet over to Du Xiaoli.
Upon receiving the tablet, Du Xiaoli examined it and found there was also a python engraved on it. It looked the same as the one in the tattoo.
“A python?” Du Xiaoli muttered. She did not know much about the true forces in the Jianghu world. “Hold on to it. We’ll ask this guy later. He’ll definitely know about it.”
“Will do.” Xia Yuan took out a handkerchief and used it to wrap up the tablet before putting it away securely.
Du Xiaoli looked at the corpse-littered ground and asked, “Did you bring the Bone-Dissolving Water?”
Xia Yuan nodded and took out a bottle that was even smaller than the one from before. She very carefully pulled out the bottle stopper and dripped a drop of the water on every corpse. Starting right from when the drops of water landed, all of the corpses gradually began to turn into a puddle of watery blood. Before long, not even bones were left.
Du Xiaoli walked over to Silver’s side and carried it in her arms like she was carrying a person. She said, “Bring him back with you.”
After that, she used qinggong
to fly toward the Wolf Park.
Gold chased Du Xiaoli’s horse and returned to the park together.
Xia Yuan glanced at the man on the ground for a moment. She walked over and lifted him up with one arm and then mounted her horse with a single leap. After placing the masked man horizontally on the horse, she urged the horse to rush back.
When Du Xiaoli arrived at the Wolf Park, she immediately carried Silver into its room and set it down on the mat on the floor.
“Wuwu——” Silver opened its eyes to look at the familiar room, as well as Du Xiaoli. It stuck out its tongue and licked her hand before losing consciousness and falling asleep again.
“Gold, stay with Silver here, okay?” Du Xiaoli said.
All that could be done for Silver’s injury was for Silver to recuperate slowly. Silver had to depend on its own recovery ability to get back to good health.
“Awoo——” Gold let out a howl toward Du Xiaoli and went to lie down by Silver’s side, using this action to reply Du Xiaoli.
“Good girl.” Du Xiaoli patted Gold, then she got up and left.
By the time Du Xiaoli reached the back garden of the Wolf Park, Xia Yuan just so happened to arrive with the masked man. Da Gang saw her return and thus emerged from his room. When he noticed that Xia Yuan had brought a person back, he hurried over to her to carry the masked man down from the horse.
"Bring him to the guest room," Du Xiaoli instructed.
Da Gang threw the masked man over his shoulder and carried him to the guest room. After seeing the way Xia Yuan treated the masked man, Da Gang picked up the same method of treating him roughly.
If the masked man knew this was how he had been treated the whole way here, perhaps he might want to overturn the Wolf Park.
Du Xiaoli had Xia Yuan go and fetch the silver needles while she went inside the guest room to examine the masked man's body. If she did not examine him, she would not know anything. However, the moment she did, she got a fright. Then she stared at the person on the bed like she was looking at a monster, not moving much at all until Xia Yuan returned.
When Xia Yuan brought the silver needles over, she got a shock upon seeing Du Xiaoli: "Mistress, why are you just standing there?"
"No reason," Du Xiaoli said nonchalantly. "These won't be needed anymore. I'll just prescribe him some medicine later."
"They're not needed anymore?" Xia Yuan said in astonishment. This was the first time she had seen Du Xiaoli not require the silver needles.
"There's a strange poison inside his body. He’s likely to have had it since a young age. This poison is slowly consuming today’s poison. So even if he doesn’t receive an antidote, he will be able to regain consciousness,” Du Xiaoli said.
When she saw his extremely pale face earlier, she had assumed it was due to today’s poison in addition to excessive blood loss. However, now it seemed that it was because there was a problem with his body to begin with!
“It’s that amazing?” Xia Yuan looked at the person on the bed. “He didn’t die from the poison even after so many years...?”
Eh——
It’s not necessary to say it so bluntly, right?
“That’s right. Not only did he not die from the poison, he even used it to cultivate a very strong inner force,” Du Xiaoli said. She leaned against the bed’s pillar while looking at the man on the bed. “However, it seems the greater his power grows, the more deeply the poison takes effect in his body. I can’t figure it out.”
“Mistress, what should we do now?” Xia Yuan asked.
“Wait for him to wake up, then ask him to leave,” Du Xiaoli answered. “Oh, right. Have Father and Older Brother returned?”
“They’ve already returned. They heard that you’re over here, so they’re currently waiting for you to return and eat together,” Xia Yuan said. “I told them you may not be able to return for the time being, but Master said they would wait for you to finish what you’re busy with and return to eat together. So they’re still waiting for you.”
“Mm, then let’s go back. We’ll just leave this guy here. He won’t be able to regain consciousness in just a while anyway. Let’s go back and eat, and I’ll make a pill for Silver as well,” Du Xiaoli said and left with Xia Yuan.
Not long after they left, the masked man’s body suddenly and rapidly produced a layer of ice that encompassed his entirety, leaving only his nostrils exposed to allow air to pass through.
Du Xiaoli returned to Cyan Bamboo Park. Du Yunheng and Du Xiuheng were currently chatting in the drawing room. The two people talked and laughed, appearing much more cheerful and lively than before. It seemed that today’s matter was a really great help in improving their relationship.
“Father, Older Brother,” Du Xiaoli called out as she approached them.
“Xiaoli, why are you back so soon? Didn’t you have something to take care of at the Wolf Park?” Du Yunhan saw Du Xiaoli and waved at her in greeting.
Without actually walking over, Du Xiaoli said, “I’ve settled it. Silver got injured, so I had to deal with that for a bit. You two continue chatting. I’m going up to have a bath and change my clothes.”
“Go on.” Du Yunhan waved her away.
Du Xiaoli had Ying Ge prepare bath water for her. Having just experienced a battle, Du Xiaoli did not feel comfortable in the clothes she was currently wearing even though she had not gotten any blood on them.
Lunch was ready by the time she finished bathing. While they were eating, Du Yunhan told Du Xiaoli about the bunch of matchmakers. He lamented about how it was a good thing he heeded her words and went over today. Otherwise, they might have been beaten out by whoever went there first
!
Then Du Xiaoli asked about the betrothal gift, and Du Xiuheng spoke briefly about the appearance of the two fathers gathering together in discussion. It amused Du Xiaoli greatly. She never imagined that Du Yunhan would unexpectedly go and propose a marriage like that!References 1. — It’s a body movement technique.
