I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 37 Antidote
Back to Mo Ruyan.

Mo Ruyan finished her bath and changed into clean clothes. The food prepared by the servants in the mansion was served to her. She simply ate some to fill her stomach and then went to Yan Chengyun's room.

Mo Ruyan reached out and knocked on Yan Chengyun's door, calling out in a clear voice, "Mom, I'm here."

"Come in." Yan Chengyun's voice came from the room.

Mo Ruyan pushed the door open and saw Yan Chengyun sitting at the table with several cakes on the table that she had loved since she was a child.

"Ruyan, come here. You've suffered so much outside these days and you look haggard. I personally prepared some cakes that you like. Come and have a try."

Yan Chengyun saw that she looked very worried, with some concern and pain in his eyes, and said with heartache.

"Thank you, mother." Mo Ruyan walked forward and sat next to Yan Chengyun, but did not touch the pastries on the table. She had no appetite at the moment.

Seeing that Mo Ruyan was acting a little strangely, Yan Chengyun couldn't help but ask, "Ruyan, are you unhappy about something? Talk to Mom."

"No, Mom. I'm probably just a little tired and want to rest." Mo Ruyan shook her head. She didn't want her mother to worry.

"My silly girl, you were born after ten months of pregnancy. You are my flesh and blood. Others may not understand you, but how can I not understand you? Every time you are distressed, you unconsciously like to pull at the corner of your clothes. Who is so bold as to make my precious daughter angry? Tell me and I will help you vent your anger."

Mo Ruyan remained silent. She wanted to tell Yan Chengyun what had happened, but she didn't know how to say it.

"Is it because of your father's matter?" Yan Chengyun suddenly said.

Mo Ruyan looked shocked.

Seeing her expression, Yan Chengyun immediately realized that his guess was almost right.

Yan Chengyun sighed softly, took Mo Ruyan's fair and slender hand with his right hand, and gently placed his left hand on the back of her hand, saying earnestly: "Ruyan, don't resent your father. Your father is too popular. Even if he wants to hide his shortcomings, others won't allow it. He is a king of a different surname and a thorn in the eyes of the court. He has a lot of things to do. Maybe he didn't do well in some aspects, causing you to feel wronged and hurt, but we are a family. You must trust your father. He will never harm you."

Hearing this, Mo Ruyan seemed to be lost in thought. The depression in her chest gradually dissipated under Yan Chengyun's gentle words.

"I don't hate you, Dad. I just don't understand why you did that. We almost died on the way back. Wan Yunxiang even forced Liu Yang to take the Heart-Erosion Pill. To protect me, he was even poisoned to death, and he was determined to bring me back. But I couldn't help at all."

Whenever Mo Ruyan thought of Lai Yang being poisoned by the Heart-Eroding Pill, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

The effects of the Heart-Eroding Pill occur once every three months, and once they do, it will be worse than death.

Without an antidote, the poisoned person will eventually die from heart rot.

It has been more than a month since he took the Heart-Eroding Pill, and it will take at most another month for the Heart-Eroding Pill to take effect.

"By the way, the Heart-Eroding Pill, Mom, do you have the antidote for the Heart-Eroding Pill? Liu Yang has been poisoned!" Mo Ruyan suddenly reacted and asked hurriedly.

Yan Chengyun shook his head and explained, "The Heart-Eroding Pill is a specially refined elixir by the imperial court to control warriors and keep them obedient. Once poisoned by the Heart-Eroding Pill, there is no antidote. You need to take the antidote every three months, but it only relieves the toxicity and cannot completely eliminate the poison."

Mo Ruyan's face turned pale, she couldn't believe it: "Is there no other way?"

"Of course there is a way. If you want to completely remove the poison from the Heart-Eroding Pill, there are three ways."

"There are three ways? That's great. Mom, please tell me, what method can be used to detoxify the Heart-Eroding Pill?" Mo Ruyan asked excitedly.

Yan Chengyun looked at Mo Ruyan meaningfully with her beautiful eyes. She had never seen Mo Ruyan so concerned about something before. She was probably in love with the man named Liu Yang.

"The first method is to find Hua Saituo, who is known as a miracle doctor in the martial arts world. If there is anyone who can detoxify the poison of the Heart-Eroding Pill, it must be him. However, he is a wanderer, his whereabouts are erratic, and he often disappears without a trace. His personality is also unpredictable. Even if we find Hua Saituo, he may not be willing to help detoxify." Mo Ruyan thought for a moment and asked, "What about the second method?"

"The second method is to find a sixth-rank martial arts master and use his energy to transfer the poison from the other person's Heart-Eroding Pill to your own body. As long as most of the poison is absorbed, the remaining poison will still cause pain and discomfort, but it can be suppressed with drugs. At least your life will be safe, but the sixth-rank master responsible for absorbing the poison will most likely die."

The life of a martial arts master is so precious. Who would easily give up their life for an unrelated person? This is a joke.

Although the second method is a little more reliable than the first one, it is not much better.

What's more, the second method would not only cost the life of a martial arts master, but would also have huge sequelae.

"Mom, what's the last solution?" Mo Ruyan held a last glimmer of hope in her heart.

Yan Chengyun saw what Mo Ruyan was thinking, sighed softly, and said in a clear voice, "The last method is to find a supremely powerful person at the level of a fifth-grade Grandmaster or above. At the cost of sacrificing their own lifespan and internal energy, they can forcibly expel the toxins from the Heart-Eroding Pill."

"Not to mention how rare it is to find a fourth-grade expert in the world. Even if there is one, even the current emperor would have to show respect to him. Unless there is a great favor, how could such a great man be willing to waste his own lifespan and internal energy to help others get rid of poison?" Yan Chengyun said helplessly.

"Mom, is there no other way?" Mo Ruyan asked without giving up.

Yan Chengyun shook his head silently.

Mo Ruyan was completely disappointed.

The three methods Yan Chengyun mentioned were either extremely difficult or had terrible side effects.

How was she going to tell these things to the man who had saved her twice?

The other party saved her twice at the risk of his own life, but she, the princess of the Wuwang Mansion, couldn't even detoxify a Heart-Erosion Pill.

How could she repay what she owed him?

Yan Chengyun couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer so he immediately asked, "It's because the Heart-Eroding Pill's poison is so overpowering that they say there's no antidote. How long has it been since your friend swallowed the Heart-Eroding Pill?"

"Less than a month and a half." Mo Ruyan thought for a moment and answered honestly.

"That means there are still nearly 45 days until the poison takes effect. I understand. Mother will help you find a solution. I will use my connections to get a few antidotes from the Forbidden Martial Guards. During this time, I will have people search the martial arts world for Hua Saituo's whereabouts. Ruyan, don't worry about your friend's safety. I'm here for you."

Hearing this, Mo Ruyan was overjoyed and stepped forward to hug Yan Chengyun tightly.

"Thank you, Mom. You're the best."

"If possible, bring your friend to me. I want to see who has seduced my daughter's heart and made you so obsessed with her."

Mo Ruyan blushed, and immediately revealed the attitude of a little girl, shyly saying:
"I do not have."

Yan Chengyun's heart sank and he sighed inwardly.

Wanla, the cabbage in my garden has really been eaten.

Who exactly is this Liu Yang?
