Chapter 309: Chapter 105: Talent Played a Big Role_3
"That’s right, ’Needle Grinding’ itself is a toxin derived from the Insect Clan, naturally targeting the patient’s spiritual power." The old doctor didn’t understand why Du Xixi suddenly became happy, but he still diligently replied, "’Needle Grinding’ is a unique toxin of a long-tailed Insect Clan. Their tails are raised high, and when they penetrate the enemy, it can cause them to die in agony instantly."
"The young masters have not received much toxin, so they can live a bit longer. Based on my experience, the toxins were administered within half an hour, gradually, which is why they suddenly started crying."
The old doctor had encountered a few cases with similar symptoms before. He felt a bit regretful as he spoke and deliberately reminded, "This type of toxin is extremely hard to come by. Our Blue Star Empire only collects it through the Military Department each year, usually used to deal with foreign spies or domestic traitors, allowing them to die in extreme pain. I never thought it would be used on the young masters."
After finishing, the old doctor realized he wasn’t of much use today, so he didn’t need Du Xixi to offer him a send-off. He carried the medical box he brought, swaggered away.
Du Xixi didn’t bother to catch up to thank him. Knowing that ’Needle Grinding’ is an Insect Clan toxin, she felt relieved as she approached the two children, raised her hands, and promptly two small light spheres sprang forth, darting into the tired, tear-stained minds of the children.
That’s right, Du Xixi intended to use her Purification Talent to heal Yiyi and Er Er. Miao Miao and Ke Xing understood what Du Xixi was doing, so they held their breath and watched intently, not wanting to miss a single moment.
Dear heavens... please protect them!
Du Xixi had previously used the Purification Talent to cure Mo Ying. The Insect Clan toxin that tormented Mo Ying’s spiritual power had disappeared with the help of the Purification Talent, which was why Du Xixi breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that ’Needle Grinding’ was an Insect Clan toxin.
She was exceedingly thankful that she had treated Mo Ying before, understanding the specific methods of using the Purification Talent to eliminate Insect Clan toxins. Otherwise, today would have been tragic for Yiyi and Er Er.
They might have even lost their lives...
Children’s minds aren’t fully developed, thus more fragile than adults’ brains. Du Xixi dared not let the Purification Talent casually roam freely within Yiyi and Er Er’s minds, instead, she concentrated her efforts and cautiously controlled the light spheres to seek out the Insect Clan toxins.
However, the light spheres were somewhat disobedient. They broke free from Du Xixi’s control and found the Insect Clan toxins tormenting Yiyi and Er Er in the most rapid and efficient manner. Before Du Xixi could even react, the Insect Clan toxins were swallowed up entirely by the light spheres, leaving not a trace behind.
Du Xixi: ...I’m unsure whether to feel happy or just happy.
After eliminating the Insect Clan toxins, the light spheres didn’t idle. They contracted sharply, then expanded suddenly. When Du Xixi felt astounded, they transformed into streams of light, projected deep into the children’s minds, healing the damage caused by the ’Needle Grinding’ toxins.
"Xixi, how did it go?" Ke Xing and Miao Miao nervously watched Du Xixi. They couldn’t find any sign on the now unconscious Yiyi and Er Er, as when the treatment began, Yiyi and Er Er were already nearing pain-induced unconsciousness.
They pinned their hopes on Du Xixi, hoping she would give them a joyous smile and tell them Yiyi and Er Er were alright.
Indeed, it was as they hoped when Du Xixi gave them a relaxed yet unmistakably joyful smile, her tone filled with post-crisis relief, "They’re alright now."
"That’s great!"
"Yes!"
Ke Xing and Miao Miao smiled happily too, their moods swinging high and low, they even hesitated to reach out and pick up the sweat-soaked children. It was Du Xixi who instructed 2569 to carry the children upstairs, and then coaxed Miao Miao to go up and help wipe them down.
This ordeal that Yiyi and Er Er suffered through was due to someone poisoning them, but the children can’t be left with only 2569 the Robot, as Ke Xing decided to discuss the matter with Du Xixi, and only Miao Miao could join them upstairs.
Miao Miao sensibly went upstairs, and Du Xixi smiled slightly. But once her silhouette disappeared around the stairs, Du Xixi’s expression turned cold as she said to Ke Xing, "Father, we must thoroughly reinvestigate this incident!"
Du Xixi felt that the Star Era was indeed too dangerous. Though there were often foreign war reports in Blue Star Time, the nation Du Xixi lived in was powerful, with internal and external conflicts rarely occurring; she had always considered stable life a norm.
But what about after arriving in the Star Era? Not to mention Ke Xing, who is a former soldier injured on the battlefield, even Ke Lian has to bleed and sweat on the battlefield occasionally.
Last time, the reckless Morri Empire and Chengsta Empire targeted Du Xixi and the others, nearly costing them their lives. This time, someone brainlessly targeted the children.
Truly...
Du Xixi gritted her teeth, pondering the old doctor’s words, her expression became contemplative, "Could it be someone from the Military Department?"
