Poison of the Human Panacea Chapter 56

Wu Yanfu pulled over the robe to cover up Bai Tan then spoke to Li Wuzhang, “What did you want to say? Speak.”

Bai Tan stared at him, he shook his head with a stern look in his eyes, Li Wuzhang’s heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, but he couldn’t get a single word out. He merely knocked his head on the ground as he said in a trembling voice, “Tan’er has already lost his martial arts, he can’t go around acting abused anymore now, so Shizun… please, just let go of him.”

With a wave of Wu Yanfu’s arm, a vigorous wind had Li Wuzhang flying out the door from the shock, “Whether this master lets him go or not, it is not for you to say. He was born as this master’s… even in death, he is this master’s ghost.”

“Shixiong!” Bai Tan sat up but was held in Wu Yanfu’s embrace tightly by one hand, the other threatened in a soft voice, “If you look at him one more time, then this master will not unseal his spell.”

“You!” Bai Tan was enraged, he made a harsh decision and with two fingers raised, he poked towards his own eyes abruptly. Wu Yanfu was instantly shocked, he grabbed tightly onto his wrist.

“What are you doing?”

“You won’t even allow me to look at someone else, I should simply dig out this pair of eyes and give it to you. After all, Li Wuzhang’s spell was activated because of me, I shall repay to settle it!” Bai Tan roared angrily, bright lights shot out of the pair of gorgeous, sharp phoenix eyes, the stare had Wu Yanfu’s heart throb jarringly. He pinched onto his chin, feeling that he should neither scare nor coax him, if he grasped too tightly, he would get rowdy, if he grasped too lightly, then he would vanish without a trace in the blink of an eye. He didn’t know what to do with the little wolf cub, he wasn’t able to control and watch him at all times like this, maybe with just one distraction, the other would hurt both others and himself.

Would there be a turn for the better if he took a step back?

“Alright, then watch carefully.”

Wu Yanfu picked him up into a horizontal hug, he walked to the front of Li Wuzhang’s then he exercised his fingers to pull up his head.

Bai Tan just thought he was going to take Li Wuzhang’s life. In the moment of desperation, he yelled out loudly as he used his neili to break open the acupoints and scratched at the other’s face.

Wu Yanfu quickly stepped back to dodge, then saw Bai Tan pulling Li Wuzhang over before leaping out of the window.

“Tan’er!”

Gui Yu’er witnessed what happened and jumped over to stop Wu Yanfu, yet Wu Yanfu only saw a dark figure passing by in front of his eyes. He struck it with a palm then was able to see the face of an old woman, he immediately stopped his attack, but the wind caused by his palm still swept her into the air then crashing onto the ground.

He naturally had no desire to care for her, he glanced once then was about to chase after, but he heard a soft, desolated scream, “Wait!”

“Have…you known Tan’er since a long time ago?”

“Correct.” Wu Yanfu’s steps stilled, he turned his head to look, “You have something to say to me?”

“Back then, did you ever betray him?”

Wu Yanfu was startled, watching the back of Bai Tan on a horse, running far away, his heart become dreadfully anxious, “Just what are you trying to say?”

“If you sincerely like him, then be sure to treat him better in the future.”

“That is natural.” Wu Yanfu put away Shiyue, he didn’t want to stay for another second, he leaped onto the horse’s back. There was a great amount of sand blown into the air now, Bai Tan’s figure was already gone in a blink of an eye. For a moment, he didn’t know where to start chasing, the sand in the air was as rough as the sea waves, causing the horse to neigh more and more and couldn’t find the direction. Inside, he just felt for certain that like leaving martial skills behind for Bai Tan was a complete mistake.

Bai Tan rushed forward like a headless fly the whole way, he saw what seemed to be the outline of a desert oasis from far away, he instantly grabbed on tightly to the rein to have the horse sprint towards it. They sprinted into a field of grass, there were a lot of trees all around, even the sand had lessened quite a bit.

Bai Tan wiped the sand from his face, his mind hadn’t calmed down yet. Seeing a little stream in front, he quickly went over, squatted down, and washed his face. Then he pulled Li Wuzhang off the horse’s back, but suddenly heard the sound of people talking from nearby. He looked towards the direction of the sound, only to see about a dozen flickering figures highlighted by the glow of firelight. It was Lian Jiu and his people, within them, there was an individual in mismatched attire, that was Si You without a doubt.

He had a severed arm, yet he acted like nothing had happened as he held up wine in the other hand, chattering with those Yue Yin Palace people joyfully. Where could that weak appearance of his from earlier even be seen?

Once seeing that person, Bai Tan was naturally gnashing his teeth from anger, he wished he could skin him alive, but he had to take care of Li Wuzhang right now, so he didn’t dare to make any hasty move. He collected herbs from the area around with light movements, he chewed them up then applied them onto the injury on Li Wuzhang’s hand. After he finished bandaging it up, he saw how the other still had a pale face and remained unconscious, he couldn’t help the ominous feeling growing in him.

He carried Li Wuzhang on his back, but just as he was about to leave the riverside, he could hear his name being mentioned distinctively within the conversation, his ears involuntarily picked up on it.

“I’ve caused that little evildoer to be free for anyone to punish, now that his life is in Tian Su’s grasp, you don’t have to worry about him bringing any threats to Yue Yin Palace.”

“As expected, Brother Si is sharper, gaining victory with unstained swords, forcing that little evildoer to where he has no path left to walk on.”

“So… the item you promised me…”

Bai Tan looked intently and saw Si You reach out a hand towards Lian Jiu.

Lian Jiu hesitated for a while then took an object the size of a silkworm out from his sleeve, the object was wriggling slightly. Bai Tan’s heart leaped, he knew that must’ve been some kind of gu insect.

“This Heart-Deluding Gu[1] is extremely powerful, it shall not be used easily… who are you going to use it against?”

Xiao’s Comments: Wow, what an abrupt end to the chapter…so short too.

Translator’s Notes:

[1] Heart-Deluding Gu (痴心销魂蛊) – I did quite a change to the name since the literal sounded really awkward (and joke-like) in English. But the literal would be something like:

“Silly heart (= to be blindly in love) /

melting soul (= to be enchanted) /

gu insect (= an insect that can control people)”
