Chapter 140: Chapter 141: See Through at a Glance

’What the hell do I want to do? I want to take the boss lady to bed right here and now, but you people had to show up and cause trouble.’

’This is just my luck. You all just had to show up and make a mess.’

"I want to see what kind of illness your Miss has that requires a giant snake’s gallbladder as medicine," Li Yang said after a moment of thought.

This matter had to be dealt with. If he didn’t resolve it, he feared there would be no more peace for Taomu Village.

Hei Feng and the old man exchanged a look.

Hei Feng shook her head, clearly not trusting Li Yang.

Li Yang couldn’t be bothered with them. "So you’re not going to let me? Fine. Then get the hell out. Don’t let me see you again. And one more thing, stop bothering Taomu Village. Otherwise, I don’t care who you are—I’ll drive you out to the middle of nowhere."

"Fine!" The old man knew he and his people were no match for Li Yang, so he had no choice but to compromise. "I can take you to see our Miss, but... you must keep it a secret. And after you see her, you have to get your people to agree to take us inside to hunt the giant snake."

Li Yang laughed in exasperation. "Keep it a secret? You think I’m that interested?"

"Please!" The old man cupped his fist to Li Yang in a traditional gesture.

"Boss lady, looks like tonight’s not happening..." Li Yang said with a shrug. "How about this: I’ll go see what they’re up to, and we can pick this up next time, okay?"

The boss lady wasn’t too happy about it, but there was nothing she could do. They were already mixed up in this mess. She could only say, "Then you be careful. I’ll wait here for you to come back. If I don’t hear from you, I’m calling the police."

These words were meant for the old man and his people to hear.

Li Yang smiled and nodded. "Don’t worry."

After saying that, he turned to Uncle Zhong and said, "Alright, let’s go."

Uncle Gui nodded, led Li Yang to a car, and they quickly drove off.

Some time later, the car stopped in front of a villa.

Li Yang got out of the car.

Led by Uncle Zhong, they entered the villa.

It was very quiet inside.

Seeing a stranger like Li Yang walk in, the expressions of several people hidden in the shadows changed.

Li Yang, however, was a little surprised. ’Who is this Miss? Why are so many people protecting her in secret?’

"Is that you, Uncle Zhong?" a voice called out from a room upstairs.

"Miss!" Uncle Zhong called out. "I’m back. And I’ve brought a Divine Doctor for you."

"A Divine Doctor?" the clear, pleasant voice rang out again. "Forget it. There’s no need."

"Let me take a look," Li Yang said. He had a good impression of the voice.

"There’s no need." The Miss refused. "Even they couldn’t cure my illness, so how could you? It’ll just give Uncle Zhong and the others a reason to criticize you. You should just go back. Uncle Zhong, please escort this doctor out."

Li Yang was taken aback. ’This Miss seems to be a kind person.’

"I have a general idea of what’s wrong with you..." Li Yang began. "You’ve been poisoned, haven’t you? The poison has left your entire body weak and sore, which is why your voice lacks strength. Of course, there’s another reason for that weakness—the toxin is destroying your nervous system. Your body has already sustained significant damage."

Everyone present was stunned.

A look of ecstasy spread across Uncle Zhong’s face. "You really know?"

’He could deduce all that just from the sound of her voice? That’s incredible!’

Even Hei Feng was dumbfounded, looking at Li Yang in a new light.

Li Yang shrugged his shoulders. "I told you I was a Divine Doctor, but you didn’t believe me."

"Miss..." Uncle Zhong said, his voice trembling. "Let him come in and take a look."

The Miss paused in contemplation before finally saying, "Alright, then."

The door soon opened, and Uncle Zhong led Li Yang inside.

When Li Yang saw the Miss, his mind reeled.

’She’s gorgeous!’

In recent days, he had seen many beautiful women, like Zhao Xuechu and the others—every single one of them a stunner. But compared to the beauty before him now, they all seemed to pale in comparison.

The beauty before him had sharp, heroic features, a handsome air mixed in with her prettiness.

’I never would have thought... the poisoned person is a great beauty.’

"What are you looking at?" Hei Feng noticed Li Yang staring at her Miss and immediately grew angry.

Only then did Li Yang realize his rudeness. He said apologetically, "My apologies. I was just stunned for a moment and couldn’t snap out of it."

The Miss wasn’t angry. Instead, she gave a slight smile and said, "Hello, my name is He Zinan."

’He Zinan?’

"A fine name!" Li Yang smiled, looked her over, and then said seriously, "You’ve been poisoned. Someone poisoned you. It’s the Celestial Star Toxin, isn’t it?"

Everyone present sucked in a sharp breath.

’That’s incredible! He knew just by looking at her.’

Even though He Zinan had given up all hope, a sliver of it returned upon hearing his words. "How did you know?"

"You’ve been poisoned for at least three years!" Li Yang said seriously. "To be honest, this is going to be tricky. I don’t know who came up with the idea of eating a giant snake’s gallbladder, but let me tell you, it’s a good thing you ran into me first. Otherwise, if you had actually eaten that gallbladder, it would have been a massive miracle if you survived."
