Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Liang He’s Family Members Make Their First Appearance

After bringing the Iron-eating Beast back to the Seventh Service Area, Liang He settled him into his own private room and took charge of caring for him herself. Due to the unknown nature of the toxin, the other fluffy animals were temporarily forbidden from coming near him, just in case.

"Should I contact the High Priest and ask her to delay sending Yin Qi over?" Silver Feather looked worried. Just thinking about Yin Qi’s situation gave her a headache.

After getting Liang He’s approval, she had specifically asked High Priest Silver Wind to rush Yin Qi over to prevent any accidents, hoping to finally settle the matter. She thought it was a foolproof plan, but unexpectedly, the unexpected happened anyway. Under the current circumstances, Liang He obviously wouldn’t have the time or energy to look after Yin Qi.

"I think that’s a good idea. Let’s not cause Liang He any more trouble," Silver Shuttle agreed. He had heard a bit about Yin Qi’s condition. Dealing with the Iron-eating Beast had already left Liang He overwhelmed; if Yin Qi were added to the mix, he feared she would collapse from exhaustion.

"Alright, I’ll go contact the High Priest."

"There’s no need. You can send Yin Qi over as planned."

Silver Feather had just been preparing to ask High Priest Silver Wind to hold off on sending Yin Qi, but she didn’t expect that Liang He would happen to overhear her conversation with Silver Shuttle.

"But..." If possible, Silver Feather naturally wanted Liang He to take a look at Yin Qi’s condition, but now was clearly not a good time.

"It’s fine. Didn’t you say Yin Qi also falls into deep slumbers frequently? Perhaps his condition is similar to Jiao Jiao’s?" Though she said that, Liang He didn’t actually believe Yin Qi was poisoned as well. She simply didn’t want to break her promise, nor did she want to burden Silver Feather with guilt.

"Alright then. I’ll be staying at the reserve for a while anyway. Silver Shuttle and I will keep an eye on Yin Qi, and we’ll help you out too."

Since Liang He had put it that way, it would seem hypocritical for Silver Feather to decline again. Besides, she had already decided to extend her stay. She wouldn’t leave until the issue of the Iron-eating Beast’s poisoning was resolved.

"Okay, thank you both." In truth, neither Silver Shuttle nor Silver Feather belonged to the reserve, so they had no obligation to help. But since they were willing to lend a hand, Liang He gladly accepted their kindness.

"I need to go consult a friend. Could you please keep an eye on Jiao Jiao and the others for me?" Even with the Iron-eating Beast poisoned, Liang He hadn’t neglected the other fluffy animals, doing her best to comfort them.

"No problem, go ahead." Silver Feather could tell that Liang He harbored her own little secrets. Perhaps that was why she had insisted on bringing the Iron-eating Beast back alone for treatment. After all, she was definitely not the type of person who would disregard the safety of the fluffy animals just to prove a point.

Just as Silver Feather suspected, Liang He walked into the bathroom, out of range of any surveillance cameras. She picked up her Light Brain and began contacting her family on Blue Star—a master of poison.

Codename: Hello Poison.

[Liangliang Yue Se Chenghe: Do me a favor.]

[Hello Poison: Yo~ Isn’t this little Liang He? How come you have the time to contact me?]

Liang He had picked out the person in her group chat whose avatar looked the most toxic and messaged him directly. The moment her message was sent, she received a reply.

[Liangliang Yue Se Chenghe: Serious business. Someone poisoned me.]

The culprit had poisoned the water source, so who knew if the water she drank had been affected? It wasn’t entirely a lie to phrase it that way.

[Hello Poison: ???!!! Who has such guts?! Do they have a death wish?!]

Successfully misled by Liang He’s exaggeration, Hello Poison grew indignant and started sending voice messages, vowing to teach a lesson to whoever dared to poison her.

[Liangliang Yue Se Chenghe: Help me analyze the toxin’s composition. It would be best if you could make an Antidote.]

It was clear that Liang He and Hello Poison shared a deep bond. He was very protective of her, and she felt no hesitation in bossing him around.

[Hello Poison: Analyzing the toxin is no problem, but an Antidote... little Liang He, you’re really making things difficult for me.]

Anyone who knew him understood that Hello Poison only knew how to create poisons; he didn’t know how to cure them. However, his nemesis might be able to create an Antidote. But since they were nemeses, Hello Poison naturally wouldn’t contact him.

[Hello Poison: Although I hate to admit it, if worst comes to worst, why don’t you ask that hypocritical, stinky pharmacist for help?]

[Liangliang Yue Se Chenghe: His surname is Chou. It doesn’t mean ’stinky.’]

Liang He had always known that Hello Poison and Chou the Pharmacist didn’t get along, and she usually didn’t mind being their middleman. But the current situation was urgent, and having them communicate directly would save a lot of trouble.

Acting immediately, Liang He created a group chat with the three of them. Baffled by his sudden addition to the group, Chou the Pharmacist was just about to leave when he noticed Liang He was the group owner, so he silently stayed. Even though the other person in the group was Hello Poison, whom he looked down upon.

[Liangliang Yue Se Chenghe: @Chou the Pharmacist, someone poisoned me. I’ve asked Hello Poison to analyze the toxin. Could you help me make an Antidote?]

Since these two had always been at odds, Liang He made sure to give them both enough face in front of each other, lest they decide to wash their hands of the whole thing.

[Chou the Pharmacist: ...You wouldn’t get poisoned.]

Compared to Hello Poison, Chou the Pharmacist was much more rational and immediately saw through Liang He’s lie. However, he still agreed to her request.

[Chou the Pharmacist: Have him send the toxin analysis to the group. I will make the Antidote as soon as possible.]

[Hello Poison: Yo~ Stinky Pharmacist, you’re pretty confident, huh? Careful not to mess up~]

Every time they crossed paths, even if not in person, Hello Poison had to take a few jabs at Chou the Pharmacist, otherwise he wouldn’t feel satisfied.

[Chou the Pharmacist: You make poisons; I cure them. This is my area of expertise. If you’re not convinced, suck it up.]

[Hello Poison: Suck it up my ass! You...]

Hello Poison promptly fired off a voice message. Liang He clicked on it, but couldn’t help closing it just one second later.

[Liangliang Yue Se Chenghe: Just a reminder: after poisoned animals take an Antidote, it actually accelerates the spread of the toxin and can even cause sudden death.]

Remembering the most crucial detail, Liang He didn’t mince words and briefly explained the situation to them.

[Chou the Pharmacist: I have studied interstellar Antidotes. They can generally alleviate most toxins. An adverse reaction like that is a first for me. I’ll keep it in mind.]

[Hello Poison: Tsk, that’s why you’re so incompetent. Even two non-toxic substances mixed together can produce a toxin. Is that kind of situation really that rare? I think you’re just displaying your own ignorance!]

[Chou the Pharmacist: It’s like talking to a brick wall. I can’t be bothered with you.]

[Hello Poison: You can’t be bothered with me? I’m the one who can’t be bothered with you! You hypocritical stinky pharmacist...]

It was another exasperated 60-second voice message. Just looking at it gave Liang He a headache. Seeing that they were about to start bickering again, she quickly cut off his rant, asked Hello Poison for his address, and prepared to send the samples over.

[Liangliang Yue Se Chenghe: @Hello Poison, I will send it via Super Express. Make sure to keep an eye out for it.]

Having said that, Liang He quickly went offline, saving herself the energy of having to act as a peacemaker. Once she left, Hello Poison lost interest in arguing with Chou the Pharmacist. Similarly, Chou the Pharmacist instantly went offline, disappearing without a trace.

"Hoder, could you go to Doctor Xu and get a sample for me? I want to send it to a friend and ask for his help."

In addition to the water source sample, Liang He also requested a blood sample from a regular animal. She then drew a vial of blood from the Iron-eating Beast herself and sent everything to Hello Poison. Super Express was an upgraded version of Ultra Express. Within a certain range, it guaranteed punctual delivery between two planets within twelve hours.

"Liang He, is this friend of yours reliable?"
