Chapter 1444: Chapter 1444: Of Course It Was When You Were Fooling Around with That Rotten Cabbage!
The medicinal effect of the Blood Pill is excellent, and using it for such a simple treatment would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
So Ye Haochuan didn’t use the Blood Pill but took out a few ordinary Healing Pills and fed them to Hu Wang.
As the pills went down, with the assistance of Ye Haochuan’s Silver Needle, Hu Wang’s complexion visibly recovered at an astonishing speed.
The crowd held their breath, afraid to interrupt Ye Haochuan’s treatment. Only Hu Ke’s face turned green and white, wanting to drive Ye Haochuan away but not daring to do so.
The more he acted this way, the more guilty he appeared like a thief with a guilty conscience.
"No, I can’t just let him wake Hu Wang up!" Hu Ke was anxious inside but somewhat at a loss.
Just then, he suddenly smelled a faint scent. This aroma was so subtle that ordinary people wouldn’t notice it. But its appearance made Hu Ke’s eyes light up.
Before long, the maid with the lowest cultivation fell softly to the ground.
"What’s happening?" Hu Zhong couldn’t help but wonder, but the next moment, he felt his strength being drained away, leaving him unable to stand as he collapsed and fainted.
Even Ye Haochuan lay softly on Hu Wang’s sickbed. With his "fall," everyone in the room fell down, leaving only Hu Ke standing there with a smug look on his face.
Before long, Niuzhi quickly walked out from outside the door and said, "I told you earlier to just kill Hu Wang and Hu Zhong, but you wouldn’t listen. If it weren’t for my extra caution, we would have lost the Family Head position we worked so hard for."
"Madam, you are truly my lucky star!" Hu Ke chuckled and pecked Niuzhi on the face.
It’s hard to fathom how he managed to kiss Niuzhi’s hideous old face.
"Enough. Weren’t you just being cold and sarcastic to me earlier?" Niuzhi snorted coldly.
Hu Ke, wearing a shameless smile, said, "I said that because that kid’s strength can’t be underestimated. I originally thought that even if he was skilled, it would be impossible to revive Hu Wang, but I didn’t expect his medical skills to be so high."
At the mention of Ye Haochuan, a hint of anger appeared on Niuzhi’s face as she snorted coldly, "So what if he’s strong and skilled? In the end, his lack of worldly experience led to him being caught by us."
"This time, I must teach him a lesson to quench my heart’s hatred!"
After saying this, she didn’t forget to touch her drooping right arm. Then she drew out a sword and slowly walked towards Ye Haochuan.
Hu Ke didn’t really mind; now that everything was set, it didn’t matter what Niuzhi did.
But in the next moment, he suddenly discovered that Niuzhi’s advancing body suddenly stopped moving.
"If this ugly hag had truly touched my body, I’d have nightmares for the rest of my life!" Ye Haochuan’s disdainful voice suddenly sounded.
"What? You didn’t get poisoned?" Hu Ke was shocked and exclaimed.
Ye Haochuan smirked and said, "Udong Yellow Leaf Fragrance, this stuff is pretty high-level. If used properly, it can even knock out a Nascent Soul Peak. But you forgot, I’m a Medicinal Cultivator, so I’m quite familiar with these things!"
This Udong Yellow Leaf Fragrance is very potent. However, defending against it is also easy. As long as you don’t inhale it, you’ll be fine.
So, the moment Ye Haochuan detected it, he stopped breathing and used the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian to sustain his body, thus facing no trouble.
"I was wondering where this ugly creature had gone; turns out, it was to prepare this stuff," Ye Haochuan smiled, "If I’m correct, this must be what Patriarch Hu fell victim to, right?"
Hu Wang’s current poison clearly wasn’t Udong Yellow Leaf Fragrance, but a type of poison that erodes a person’s life. However, this poison has a flaw, which is its strong scent, making it easy to detect. Typically, one can only make someone drink it after subduing them.
And according to Ye Haochuan’s observation, Hu Zhong’s father should already have reached Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivation. Without using this kind of thing, Hu Ke couldn’t have schemed against Hu Zhong’s father.
Upon hearing this, Hu Ke’s face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Why must you go against me?"
Since everyone supposed to be unconscious was unconscious, Hu Ke no longer needed to hide and spoke straightforwardly.
Ye Haochuan smirked and said, "If you want to blame, then blame that ugly hag for being too annoying. I didn’t want to interfere, but her scolding suddenly piqued my interest."
"If you stop now, I’ll hand her over to you to deal with as you please, how about that?" Hu Ke said without hesitation.
"Ha, a ’good husband’ who can abandon everything for the goal, huh? But sorry, I’m never interested in ugly things."
Niuzhi was indeed one reason Ye Haochuan took action, but not the main one, so naturally, he would not agree.
"What do you really want? Money and treasures? If you let me secure the position of Family Head, I’ll give you half of Hu Family’s assets, how about that?" Hu Ke said urgently.
"Quite generous indeed!" Ye Haochuan smirked, "But unfortunately, it’s not up to you. Whether I can get it or not, I still have to ask the real Family Head of Hu Family!"
With that, he glanced towards the direction of the sickbed with a smiling face.
"What?" Hu Ke was slightly stunned, only to find that Hu Wang had already unknowingly stood up.
"You really are a good brother of mine!" Hu Wang’s voice was a bit hoarse and low, but one could still clearly hear the anger in his language.
"No, that’s impossible? Just detoxifying, how could you possibly wake up?" Hu Ke said in disbelief.
"Just detoxifying naturally wouldn’t work, after all, your steel needle is quite formidable!" Ye Haochuan looked at the steel needle in his hand, several times thicker than an ordinary sewing needle, and "sighed."
Regarding Hu Ke’s efforts in trying to "naturally" kill Hu Wang, they truly spared no effort. Not only using two valuable poisons but also deliberately inserting a steel needle into Hu Wang’s brain, preventing him from waking up.
This was a double-layered insurance; even if the poison was cured, it would be hard to notice this steel needle. If not for Ye Haochuan using Perspective Eyes to take a closer look, it would have almost been overlooked.
"When...when did you take it out?" Hu Ke looked shocked; he had seen all of Ye Haochuan’s moves just now, and didn’t notice Ye Haochuan making any move.
"When? Naturally, when you were courting that cabbage!" Ye Haochuan chuckled.
"No, that’s impossible, I’ve prepared for so long, how could it fail so easily!"
Hu Ke roared, then fixed his gaze on Ye Haochuan and shouted, "It’s all because of you, if it weren’t for your sudden appearance, none of this would have happened. I will kill you!"
"Enough!" Before Hu Ke could take action, Hu Wang suddenly shouted harshly.
His voice was still somewhat weak, but once the pressure of Nascent Soul Mid-Stage was unleashed, it involuntarily made everyone shudder.
