Li Guihua was also in her prime, budding and ready to bloom. Though Zhao Dachuan was a fool, he was a handsome man through and through. Standing at over six feet tall with a sturdy, muscular build, there wasn't a woman alive who wouldn't be smitten by him. Sensing Zhao Dachuan’s rapid breathing, Li Guihua felt a wave of shyness wash over her, and strange ripples of anticipation stirred in her heart. She thought to herself that bearing Zhao Dachuan’s child would surely be a wonderful blessing. Any child of his would undoubtedly be brilliant and handsome; even sharing a meal with such a handsome son would be a joy.
Just as Li Guihua was lost in these intoxicating fantasies, a cry rang out: "Ouch! Guihua! Help me! I’m dying!"
Not far away, Wang Wei had been bitten by a venomous snake. It was coiled around him, causing him immense agony. Zhao Dachuan, who had been on the verge of taking Li Guihua, froze. He turned his head to see Li Guihua’s husband, Wang Wei, rolling on the ground in a patch of grass on the other side. Wang Wei was clutching the snake’s head, struggling desperately.
"Does Wang Wei have a habit of spying on people while they bully his own wife?" Zhao Dachuan muttered to himself, thinking Wang Wei had rather strange tastes.
"Foolish Dachuan! I’m scared! Look there! A... a venomous snake..." Having been bitten by a snake once before, Li Guihua was like a startled bird; she lunged into Zhao Dachuan’s arms.
Li Guihua had a beautiful figure and gave off a unique feminine scent. Under normal circumstances, Zhao Dachuan would have absolutely taken this alluring woman right there and then, and perhaps made her kneel and sing "Conquer" for him. But Wang Wei’s cry had killed his interest.
"Sister-in-law Guihua, get off me first. Don’t be afraid, I’m here. I won’t let anything happen to your husband!" Zhao Dachuan patted Li Guihua’s backside and said, "If you keep hugging me like this, I can’t save him!"
"Oh, oh, oh... I... I’m getting down!" Li Guihua’s face burned bright red. Just a moment ago, she had felt Zhao Dachuan’s virility. She was no naive girl, so she naturally understood what that meant. She couldn't help but sigh that her husband, Wang Wei, was nothing compared to Zhao Dachuan.
"Sister-in-law Guihua, don’t be afraid! Stay close to me!" Zhao Dachuan reassured her, then hurried over to Wang Wei.
Zhao Dachuan saw Wang Wei struggling and rolling on the ground with the venomous snake. The snake had its venom-filled jaws wide open, looking truly terrifying. Moreover, Wang Wei had already absorbed some venom and was losing his strength. If this continued, he would surely meet his end.
After all, Wang Wei had provided for the Zhao family's household in the past, and there was a debt of gratitude there. Zhao Dachuan didn’t want to see him die just like that, so he casually picked up a stone and threw it with precision, hitting the snake in its "seven-inch" vital point. The snake, struck hard, immediately went limp. Zhao Dachuan seized the chance to pounce, pinned the snake down with his hand, killed it, and tossed it aside.
"How are you holding up?" Zhao Dachuan asked Wang Wei.
"I... I’m done for... help... hurry and get someone to save me..." Wang Wei said weakly.
Seeing Wang Wei’s complexion worsening, Zhao Dachuan said, "Let me take a look at you!"
"Ah!? Foolish Dachuan! Stop playing around! How could you possibly know how to treat snake venom!" Wang Wei said helplessly, thinking Zhao Dachuan was just being foolish. How could a simpleton possibly cure a snake bite?
"Wang Wei! Just let Foolish Dachuan take a look! I was bitten by a venomous snake earlier too, and Foolish Dachuan cured me!" Li Guihua, seeing her husband’s face as pale as a sheet, was startled and immediately urged Zhao Dachuan to save him. Over the years, Li Guihua had lived a life of leisure entirely dependent on Wang Wei; if he were to fall, she couldn't imagine what her future would be.
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law Guihua! Brother Wang has always looked after our family and often gives us rice; I will definitely save him!" Zhao Dachuan carefully observed Wang Wei’s complexion and realized the venom was about to enter his vital organs. In this state, even trying to suck the venom out would be too late. However, having inherited the medical skills of the True Dragon Immortal, this was no challenge for him.
Zhao Dachuan immediately snapped a twig from a nearby tree, stripped all the leaves off, and left only a thin branch about the size of a silver needle. He quickly inserted it into Wang Wei’s body and channeled his True Dragon Yang Energy into him. The True Dragon Yang Energy circulated rapidly through Wang Wei’s limbs and meridians, driving out all the toxins. The twig in Wang Wei’s body turned black at a visible speed, and all the dark blood was forced out. Finally, Zhao Dachuan struck Wang Wei’s chest with his palm, channeling a wisp of True Dragon Yang Energy into him.
"Pfft!!!" This strike forced the remaining venom blocking Wang Wei’s heart pulse out of his mouth. Wang Wei’s complexion gradually improved, and the hand that had been paralyzed now felt fine.
"You’re cured!"
"I’m really cured! My god!"
"Foolish... oh, no! Zhao Dachuan! Brother, thank you for saving me!" Wang Wei said, thanking Zhao Dachuan excitedly.
"Brother Wang, no need to thank me! It’s what I should have done!" Zhao Dachuan said with a smile.
"Dachuan! Are you... are you not a fool anymore?" Seeing that Zhao Dachuan possessed not only superb medical skills but also spoke logically with clear, bright eyes, Wang Wei couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Dachuan nodded and said, "I was frightened by the snake earlier and got hit with some venom. Perhaps the method of using poison to fight poison cleared my senses!"
"Ah! That’s wonderful! Congratulations!" Wang Wei said with a smile.
Li Guihua, however, couldn't help but blush, stammering, "So, you were aware of me trying to seduce you earlier, weren't you, Zhao Dachuan?"
"Yes, I was very clear on that!" Zhao Dachuan did not deny it. After all, with Li Guihua’s bold behavior earlier, anyone could see she was trying to seduce him.
"Then... then..." Hearing Zhao Dachuan admit he had seen through her little scheme, Li Guihua’s face burned even redder.
"Ahem..." Wang Wei coughed twice, then, to everyone’s surprise, knelt directly before Zhao Dachuan and pleaded, "Dachuan! Actually, I was the one who asked Guihua to do that. You must know that your Sister-in-law Guihua and I have been married for three years without a single child. I just want a baby."
"Dachuan! Don’t worry! Once the child is born, I will treat it as my own and raise it well!"
Seeing her husband kneeling, Li Guihua followed suit. "Dachuan, Sister-in-law knows you have no experience, but don’t worry, I will be the active one. I promise to make you comfortable! I know many ways!"
As she spoke, prompted by a look from her husband, Li Guihua began to undo the buttons of her blouse. Before she had even undone half of her coat, her beautiful figure was already beginning to reveal itself to Zhao Dachuan, making the hot-blooded young man’s heart race and his throat go dry.
