Chapter 955: Poison

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sun Ru brought Su Xiaolu forward. Su Xiaolu felt Little Niu and Su Kuo’s strength disappear. In front of her and Sun Ru, it was no longer the same place. What she could see was a glowing flower. Her leaves trembled, as if she was stretching her body. In the halo, she gradually became a girl in pink. “Ru, you’re looking for me again. How is it? Did I help you? Is your mother safe?”

The girl was very happy to see Sun Ru and asked her for the results.

Sun Ru looked a little sad. She had previously promised the divine medicine that she would share the results with her the next time they met.

“My mother passed away.”

Sun Ru said with a dark expression. Thinking of Madam Yang, her heart ached. She had thought countless times how good it would be if Madam Yang could leave resolutely. No matter how difficult the situation was, they could live together.

However, Madam Yang could not do it. She no longer had her own sense of self. She relied on Sun Yong, and if they wanted to live, they had to step on Madam Yang’s corpse and Sun Yong’s.

“How can that be? Is the medicine not working? That shouldn’t be the case. I feel that you’ve already used it.”

The girl revealed a look of disbelief. She looked at Sun Ru and felt that this didn’t seem real.

Sun Ru did not answer. The girl looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “Hello, my name is Ming Yao. What’s your name? Do you know about this? Can you tell me?”

Su Xiaolu looked at the girl and said, “My name is Su Xiaolu. I don’t know anything about Sun Ru’s family.”

Ming Yao was stunned for a moment before shaking her head in disbelief. She asked, “If you’re not familiar with Sun Ru, why would she bring you here?”

Su Xiaolu smiled and replied, “Because I used money to make a deal with her. I gave her money, so she brought me here.”

Ming Yao was stunned for a moment before saying disdainfully, “Humans have bad intentions.”

Su Xiaolu did not refute because humans were really bad.

Ming Yao looked at Sun Ru again and said, “Sun Ru, your mother has passed away, but you used the medicine, so our contract is effective. I thought I would hear good news, but I didn’t expect it to be like this. I hope you can live well in the future.

Ming Yao was a little regretful, but that was the nature of things. Nothing was set in stone and all kinds of possibilities could happen.

“God of Medicine, I want to make another deal with you. This time, I want to ask for poison.”

Sun Ru looked at Ming Yao and pleaded.

Ming Yao was puzzled. “Poison? Why poison?”

Ming Yao really wanted to know what Sun Ru had experienced. She was also a little confused. She subconsciously asked, “Sun Ru, do you regret the life-saving medicine you wanted?”

If Sun Ru wanted poison now, did she regret the divine medicine she had exchanged for previously?

Sun Ru shook her head. “No, I’ve never regretted it. I’m very glad to have met you, which gave someone like me a chance to save myself.”

Only divine medicine would not be found out by others.

Otherwise, if anyone found out that she was using medicine, she would definitely be sentenced to death.

She didn’t know how long her sisters could live without her. What she wanted wasn’t a death sentence, and the divine medicine given by Ming Yao could make Sun Yong die quietly.

Seeing Sun Ru’s sincere expression, Ming Yao did not refuse. She reached out and a white pill gradually condensed in her palm. She said to Sun Ru, “This is what you want. I hope you won’t regret it.”

Sun Ru took the pill, wrapped it in a leaf, and placed it in her pocket.

Sun Ru looked at Su Xiaolu, and so did Ming Yao.

Ming Yao spoke first. “If you want to make a deal with me, you have to exchange your lifespan for it. If you want to kill me, you will be poisoned to death by me and used as my nourishment.”

As Ming Yao spoke, she even raised her chin. She was not afraid that she would have ill intentions at all, because her ending would only be very miserable, and she would not be harmed at all.

Su Xiaolu smiled and shook her head. “I just wanted to see you. I don’t want to make a deal with you and I don’t want to kill you.”

There was no demonic aura in Ming Yao. She was not a demon. If she was not a demon, what else could she be? A Heavenly Treasure.

It was already good enough that she did not kill people. However, Heavenly Treasures that had developed intelligence would not kill people randomly. They knew that killing people would be tainted by karma. Ming Yao, who made a fair deal with Sun Ru, had no deception, so there was no karma. As long as there was deception and bait, they would suffer karma.

Ming Yao looked at Su Xiaolu and finally fell silent.

Sun Ru stood up and bowed gratefully to Ming Yao. “God of Medicine, thank you. I won’t come again next time. I won’t come again in the future.”

After Sun Ru obtained the poison, she made up her mind. She already knew what to do.

Sun Ru and Su Xiaolu walked out together.

Ming Yao looked at Sun Ru and Su Xiaolu’s backs in a daze.

She stayed where she was, as if thinking.

After watching Su Xiaolu and Sun Ru leave her sight for a long time, Ming Yao finally thought it through. She wanted to go out. She wanted to take a look and understand why Sun Ru wanted to take the divine medicine and poison, and why she had no regrets.

Ming Yao skipped down the mountain…

As soon as she left, the fragrance of the mountains disappeared, and so did the sunset.

However, Sun Ru and Su Xiaolu did not know all of this because they had long left the mountain.

Before they reached home, curses and cries came from the Sun family, making Sun Ru’s heart tighten.

“Trash, b*tches, what’s the use of me having you? You only know how to cry…”

Sun Yong cursed. He didn’t expect Madam Yang to die after not coming back for a few days. She didn’t give birth to a son for him, and she was a worthless good-for-nothing. He was extremely frustrated. Madam Yang was gone. What if her family stopped giving him money?

His eldest daughter actually went out to slack off. Sun Yong lost his temper and almost destroyed the house. He did not find a single copper coin. He was even angrier. His fierce look of wanting to kill frightened his two youngest daughters to tears. They cried.

Sun Yue and Sun Cai didn’t cry, but their faces were pale as they trembled and hugged each other.

Sun Ru immediatelv ran home. As soon as she appeared, Sun Yong scolded, “You b*tch, where did you go? You know how to seduce people at such a young age? Trash, disgusting!”

Sun Ru ignored these unbearable words. She lowered her head and said ingratiatingly, “Father, don’t be angry. I brought the immortals to see the phenomenon. They will give me money later. When the time comes, I’ll give it all to Father. It’s a total of 50 taels.”

When Sun Yong heard this, he stopped scolding. He looked at Sun Ru suspiciously. “Really?”

Sun Ru nodded. “It’s true. Father, don’t be angry. Rest well first. I’ll cook for you. Even if I don’t give it to you today, I’ll give it to you tomorrow. Father, don’t worry. Without Mother, we can only rely on you. Father, calm down. It’s not good for your health to be too angry.”

Sun Yong was very happy that Sun Ru lowered her head and tried to please him. He was very satisfied with his eldest daughter’s current reaction. In the past, his eldest daughter was rebellious. Now that Madam Yang was dead, she knew how to be afraid. How good was that? Hence, Sun Yong stopped scolding her. He instructed Sun Ru, “Then go cook. I’ll rest for a while and make them calm the wretched girl. She’s crying so much..”
