AST 2332 - The Woman's Tale, The Culprit

"Him?"

The lady looked at Qing Shui with doubt . After all, the old man from before was a well-known miraculous physician, and he was old . On the other hand, this person before her looked far too young .

However, Custodian Yuchi was someone under Young Miss, a person who wished for Miss to be safe the most, and this was his sentiments . At this point, there was no other way out . As long as there was some hope, then this young guy should give it a try .

"Is it that I don't look like it?" Qing Shui smiled and asked .

"That's not the case . Miraculous Physician, please come with me!" the lady said softly and turned to head for the bamboo building .

This was Qing Shui's second time coming here . Everything remained the same as before . After entering the room, he didn't smell any scent of medicinal herbs . The smell was still refreshing and elegant . Walking over, Qing Shui looked at the woman on the bed . Right now, she was seated and resting against the wall of the bed .

The scar-filled face was in a greenish black color . The black color gleamed . It was an extremely eerie color, a sign of skin having been invaded by lethal poison . If this were to continue, her flesh would likely start to rot soon .

The woman looked at Qing Shui and was stunned . "Why are you here?"

"Didn't I say that if you were to have any trouble, come and look for me . Could it be that you really don't believe that I'll be able to cure you?" Qing Shui walked to the bed, and the woman signaled for the lady to leave .

"There's no way to cure my face . This poison is too complicated and no one can cure it, not even the person who poisoned me," said the woman in a very pleasant-sounding voice . It sounded both mature and beautiful, but there was a hint of bitterness in it .

"Who is that? What feud does that person have against you to be so vicious," Qing Shui asked curiously .

"It's someone who used to like me, but I don't like him back . He said that a woman he can't get his hands on shouldn't exist, and then my face ended up like this . " The woman smiled as she said this .

Qing Shui was surprised . "How is this liking someone? If a person likes someone, they won't act like this . "

"He is a proud and selfish Poison Master and is also my martial senior . There are only a few people in this world who can surpass him in the field of poison . He's really a genius, but it's a pity," the woman said slowly as if she was trying to find someone to confide her thoughts to .

"A person like this really deserves to die . This isn't just being selfish; it's wiping out a person's whole world . If I were to come across him one day, I'll help you take revenge," Qing Shui said .

"He's in the Upper Three Regions . If you can really cure me, he'll definitely go and look for you . " The woman didn't say anything about Qing Shui not being a match for that guy but merely mentioned that he was in the Upper Three Regions .

Qing Shui didn't feel anything special even after she mentioned that the guy was in the Upper Three Regions . Not everyone there was an expert, and there were only a couple of them who could be considered to be top-notch . Therefore, he only smiled and continued, "Let me treat you; I have confidence in my abilities . Moreover, I can also help you to regain your original appearance . "

The woman was stunned . "There's no need to console me . I'm already used to it . Don't let me experience disappointment after giving me hope . "

"Don't worry . I shan't say anything more and treat you first . I'll help you to detoxify today . " When Qing Shui was speaking earlier, he had already used the Heavenly Vision Technique to assessed the poison on the woman's face . He was taken by surprise . Her martial senior was really an expert in the field of poison .

There were a total of 81 types of poisonous elements, each being extremely vicious . But even then, with all of them mixed together, the target won't die immediately . Slowly but surely these poisonous elements would release their toxins . The body that had been affected by this deathly mix of poison for a prolonged period of time would have developed a very strong resistance to poison, and the person would experience greater agony . They would eventually die a torturous death .

"Your martial senior is out to kill you!" Qing Shui sighed .

"He said that I can live for ten years, and then I'll eventually die a torturous death . " The woman could only smile bitterly once again .

"From what I see, you still have a lifespan of 1 . 5 years . I know you feel that you're capable of withstanding the torture . However, if your condition isn't cured, you'll feel increased pain over this 1 . 5 years before dying in agony," said Qing Shui

"I'm not afraid . I just don't want to see my disgusting appearance at the very end . " The woman shook her head .

"Don't worry, your poison isn't an issue . I can neutralize it . However, it'll take three months for you to regain your appearance . Even in the fastest scenario, it would still take one month . " Qing Shui gave it some thought before giving a conservative timeframe .

"You're really able to recover my appearance and cure me?" The woman looked at Qing Shui, feeling obviously surprised .

It turned out that she hadn't believed in Qing Shui all this while .

Qing Shui rubbed his nose . "Alright, I shan't say anymore . Let's start . "

Qing Shui took out the gold needles and put out his hands . His pair of hands became translucent like jade, appearing to be even more beautiful than a woman's hand . However, it looked unnatural and would only make one feel surprised .

Qing Shui used a few of the gold needles to seal up her pain receptor .

"I'm really very curious . Why do you say that even your martial senior won't be able to cure you?" Qing Shui inserted a needle as he asked .

"It's because he has never planned on letting me recover," said the woman .

"Why?" Qing Shui felt very curious . If he liked a woman, he wouldn't dare to destroy her face completely even if the other party didn't like him back .

"It's very simple . It's because he suffered a backlash while concocting poison and has become impotent . "

With this reply, Qing Shui understood everything . By this time, he had already inserted 36 gold needles .

A wisp of coolness went through the woman's face, and her heart started to throb . This guy might really be able to cure her . However, she soon felt that this thought was preposterous .

Moreover, she seemed to have realized that she had said a lot to this guy . Could it be because her life was reaching its end? It didn't feel that way to her . Previously, she had seen quite a few physicians yet she hadn't said anything to them . She couldn't help but assess him seriously .

He was very young, probably younger than she was . He looked very nice as well . He wasn't considered a super handsome guy, but his gaze was clear and warm, having an indescribable feeling of affection . He emitted a natural aura and was a man whom others could get close to the most easily . He gave off a very attractive feeling .

"Am I nice to look at?" Qing Shui smiled and asked .

The woman replied calmly, "Mmm, it's acceptable . You're the man who makes one feel the most comfortable out of everyone I've met . "

"Then do you want to marry me?" Qing Shui teased .

"You dare to marry me?" The woman had to hand it over to Qing Shui . There were many people who would tease beautiful ladies, but he was definitely the first who would dare to ask her to marry him despite her appearance . He was likely to be the last person as well . It was because even she herself didn't dare to see her reflection in the mirror . She would scare herself .

"Of course I dare to!" Qing Shui smiled and replied . This woman had a great figure and a pair of wonderful eyes . If one were to take a closer look, they would be able to realize that her eyes were very beautiful . It was just that the scars all over her face had covered up 90% of her beauty and thus not many people could tell that her eyes were beautiful .

"Alright, you're the one who said this . " said the woman while smiling .

Qing Shui had actually wanted to give this woman hope, or rather, some kind of consolation .

He placed a small table in front of her and put a few bowls on it . At this moment, pitch black venom started to drip out from the tip of the gold needles, releasing a piercing stench .

Even the woman's brows knitted together .

Qing Shui's expression didn't change at all, and he kept fiddling with those gold needles with one hand while gently massaging her face with the other . His touch felt warm and very comfortable . The woman was very surprised . He really didn't mind how terrifying her face looked, or rather, how disgusting it was . Moreover, there was even poison on it, and her scars were twisted together . Some of the scars had unordinary colors and appeared both terrifying and disgusting .
